He is the one who has selected you. Allah is saying, He sees something in you and He decided to give to you Islam. He sees something in you that qualifies you for struggling for Him… We are not Muslim because we were born into a Muslim family. We are not Muslim because we saw a YouTube video and decided to be Muslim, we are Muslim because Allah chose us. He chose us because we have something to offer to Him. He sees something in us, we don’t even see in ourselves.

A lot of our youth are dating, that’s the reality. Your boys and girls in this community, In dallas. There are boys and girls that have relationships outside of marriage. some just living it to texting each other, or facebooking each other. Sending an e-mail once in a while about ”how beautiful you are”, this and that. Some a little worse, Some a lot worse. But they’re having relationships. And when you tell them about relationships in Islaam, they’ll say,”I dont wanna be so hard on myself”, ”I dont wanna make my life difficult, what’s the big deal anyway?”. And you know what the big deal is? What it does to you?. Just to give you some glimpse of what dating does to people. Now I’m not talking about the permissibility and impermissibility here. Like I said, Imma speak to you like you’re adults, and I Think you already know what’s haraam, I don’t have to tell you that, you already know that. And you know Allaah has revealed that already, so your conscience is dirty and you know it. There’s no beating around that bush.

But, I do wanna tell you some of its consequences. You know when someone gets married, then they take a responsibility for the other. Allaah Azza Wa Jal puts them in a responsibility position. And they have to take care of their financial needs, their emotional needs, their learning of the Deen, their protection, everything. But when two people are dating, what do they have to take care of? What do they have to take care of? (ans.) Nothing. The only thing they’re responsible for is satisfying their own hormones, that’s all. And the moment they get bored, or tired, or you know.. A small fight or dispute breaks out, what happens in dating? (ans.) You break up. You’ll say, ”Well, this didn’t work” It’s like changing a…not even a toothbrush, even a tooth brush lasts longer. It’s like changing chewing gum. ”I lost the taste of it…next…next…next”. And then what happens? One of the two, whoever got dumped, is emotionally very, very, disturbed. They’re crying in the middle of the night and depressed, they’re waiting for the text message to come, ”Please, you don’t really mean that, David”. And they become so pathetic. The friends around them, ”What happened to you man?” ”You don’t know man, I didn’t know, she’ll come back, I know she’ll come back”. This really happens.

And then, when they become scarred emotionally, the next time round, you know what they have in their head? ”Well I got Scarred the last time and I am going to make sure I scar somebody else this time”. So Overtime they become this ruthless, merciless, animalistic people that all they wanna do is get their physical urges out of the way. But they dont even see the other person they’re dating as a human being anymore. All They see is a piece of flesh walking around.

And when these people get married, you can only imagine what kind of marriage that they’re gonna have. That’s why you have people that date each other for 10 years, when they get married, after 10 years (of dating), and within 2 months, they get divorced. And you wonder, ”How did you guys were dating?”. you know why they lasted? because there was no responsibility. you become broken people. you become torn individuals. And you don’t realized it because you don’t understand that what Allah gives you, makes your life easy. And what you’re trying to do for yourself, only makes your life difficult, it makes you a broken human being.

“Gold Medal is not much worth than a Muslim brother’s Blood”

this says that his heart of own home is more important than a piece of gold. i salute you brother.

The Holy Prophet (S) was sitting in the mosque in Madina giving a talk to some of his followers while they were waiting for Salaat time to set in. A rich man wearing expensive clothes came and sat in front of the Holy Prophet (S) to listen to his talk. Meanwhile another man who had also came to listen to the Holy Prophet (S) sat down beside the rich man. The second man was not rich, in fact he was quite poor. The old and torn clothes he was wearing showed just how poor he was. The rich man did not like for the poor man to sit next to him. He pulled his nice, new, expensive clothes closer to himself, so that they would not be touched by the dirty, old, torn clothes of the poor man. The Holy Prophet (S) noticed what the rich man had done and was upset and disappointed. He asked the rich man why he had done this? Was it because he thought that some of his wealth might go to the poor man, or was it because he thought some of the poverty of the poor man might come to him. The rich man, who was not a bad person, realised what he had done was wrong and was truly sorry. To make up for his mistake and to show how sorry he was, the rich man after apologising to the poor man, offered him half of all his wealth. The poor man told the rich man that he accepted his apology and forgave him, but did not want half of his wealth as he did not want to get something without having worked for it. Moral: In the eyes of Allah how rich or poor a person is makes no difference. The person who is closest to Allah is the one who obeys Him in every action. Prophet Muhammad (S) was a very kind person and he never got angry even when people were very naughty.

There was one old woman who was very bad. She used to throw rubbish on the Holy Prophet (S) whenever he passed her house. Prophet Muhammad (S) used to have to pass her house every morning when he went to the mosque and every morning this naughty old woman used to throw her rubbish on him but he never ever got angry with her. One day when the Holy Prophet (S) was passing the old woman’s house, she did not throw rubbish on him. He stopped and asked the old woman’s neighbour if she was all right because she was not there to throw rubbish on him. The neighbour told him that the old woman was not well and she was in bed. So the Holy Prophet (S) went to see the old woman because it is good to go and see people who are not well and ask them if they need anything. When the old woman saw the Holy Prophet (S), she thought he had come to tell her off and she said “why did you wait until I was ill to tell me off, why didn’t you come when I was well and strong?” Prophet Muhammad (S) told the old woman that he had not come to tell her off but to see and look after her because she was not well and Allah tells us to look after people who are not well. The old woman was so surprised that the Holy Prophet (S) was being so kind to her after she had been so mean to him, that she decided from then on to listen to him and she became a Muslim.

One day Prophet Muhammad (S) was on a journey and very tired, so he sat down under a tree to rest. A bad man seeing that the Holy Prophet (S) was alone thought it was a good time to kill him quickly and quietly. He went towards the Holy Prophet (S) with his sword out in front of him. He asked the Holy Prophet (S): “Tell me who can help you now?”
“Allah,” answered the Holy Prophet (S) calmly. When the bad man saw how calm and sure the Holy Prophet (S) was that Allah would help him, he became frightened and the sword fell from his hand. Prophet Muhammad (S) picked up the sword and asked: “Now you tell me who is there to save you?” “No-one” answered the man. “No, you are wrong, the same Allah will help you also,” said the Holy Prophet (S) and then he let the man go. When the man heard this he became a Muslim.

I love!

Owh i love me.

I’m sorry if I say this: why.
Because this already have been so long inside my head.
The reason should not be your internal ‘weak’.
You’re not pity at all if you have no friends. Especially girls when you’re a male.
You’ll not be lifeless if you don’t have girls as friends to company you to understand you and your heart.
Loneliness is a good thing. If you think you’re a Muslim.
Loneliness means you have no friends, you’re a stranger to them.
It’s like your religion.
You’re a stranger = give glad tidings to you.

“Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.”

Same to the girls too, if you don’t have many friends. you shouldn’t be sad. Same as I am though. Im a loner. I don’t think sadness can give you happy.

‘View from the grave’
An interesting picture,makes you think..so thought I’d share.

Allah’s Apostle (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasalla m) used to invoke (Allah):

“O Allah! I seek refuge with you from the punishment in the grave and from the punishment in the Hell fire and from the afflictions of life and death, and the afflictions of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal.” [Vol 2:#459]

Hazrat Muhammad [SAWW] said: “Friday is the best of days. It was on this day that Hadrat Aadam [AS] was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into jannah, it was on this day that he was removed from jannah (which became the cause for man’s existence in this universe, and which is a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will also take place on this day.

(via followhadith)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Fever was mentioned in the presence of Allah’s Messenger (SAWW) and when a man reviled it the Prophet (SAWW) said, “Do not revile it, for it removes sins as fire removes the dross of iron.
