{ Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward. And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts. } (Qur'an, 67:12-13)
Another point Ilham Amin made during the most recent Reflection Retreat is that Surah Al-Mulk, although it touches a lot on Allah's punishment, can actually be viewed in light of His mercy. I came to know the same and so today, I wanted to share how so.

Whenever your journey back to Allah feels like an uphill battle, remember what Allah says:
واصبر على ما يقولون واهجرهم هجرا جميلا (١٠) 'Be patient ˹O Prophet˺ with what they say, and depart from them courteously.'
Be patient with the people around you. Be patient over what they say. Always return it with kindness. Do not feel tempted to expose your good deeds when your character is misrepresented. Your reward is not with them, it is with Allah...
This Verse is a beautiful Qur’ānic principle which guides us in all our interactions with the Creator as well as His Creation. We need to strive in our worship of the Creator but also in fulfilling the rights of His Creation. We don’t treat people the way people treat us, rather we treat them the way Allah wants us to treat them, because the reward is Al Ehsaan in dunya and aakhirah. A simple formula for a beautiful life in both realms. Allahu Ak...

The sermon still revolved around the Day of Judgment, but ...
هَلْ جَزَآءُ ٱلْإِحْسَٰنِ إِلَّا ٱلْإِحْسَٰنُ.(55:60) 'Is there any reward for goodness other than goodness?' ~That is, is the reward of the one who does well in worshipping the Creator and showing kindness to His slaves anything other than that he will be treated well, rewarded greatly and granted the ultimate triumph, eternal blessing and a life of ease? [As-Sa'adi]
Think for a moment, our best is according to our lim...
I saw online just now, if a person do good and expecting good from that other person, it will be a business transaction not kindness. I kinda agree, kindness should be done without expecting anything in return.
But we’re Muslim, we do goods for the sake of Allah. Isnt it natural to hope for good returns from Allah?! The very reason why we do good at all or being patient with another person or situation. 😊
'You are not making du'a to yourself, so when you have limitations..resource limitations consuming into your mind, you want to scratch that out and remind yourself that du'a is not the result of your resources, du'a is the result of Allah's SWT resources..' (Timestamp : Minute 21:35)

What are your thoughts,when you see a leaf fall....what i see is,it is enjoying while falling..it is dancing and falling to the whistling tunes of wind .Wind was always there for the leaf during its ups and downs.It is because of the wind's gentle care and love that the leaf survived several days of its journey in complete peace and harmony.
The leaf is able to fall in joy because of its own action,and the leaf has to fall,to whirl in ecstasy to...
