Quick reflection: #joy
Waves of happiness and sadness pass through the heart everyday. But there are moments when the sadness threatens to settle in and make a home there. Isn't that the case with everyone? We start thinking "Oh but look at this problem and that problem, why shouldn't I remain sad?"

The first thing that Allah created was the Pen - Al Qalam. He commanded the pen to write. The pen asked him 'What shall I write?' He commanded it: 'Write Qadr : all that has already happened and that will happen until eternity.' This happened 50,000 years before the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. [Ahmad Tirmidhi]

These verses spell out God's love for us. He created the earth, the seven heavens, brought forth our father Adam as a dignified human being, gifting him with knowledge, asked the angels to prostrate before him, told him to enjoy all of the blessings in heaven with his spouse except one tree, and when Satan deceived them , Allah taught Adam how to repent - He did not leave him alone or not forgive him.

﷽
We all have our weaknesses and temptations within us. It's a part of our human nature, a test that Allah (SWT) has placed within us. Sometimes, these desires align with the boundaries set by Allah, and there are permissible ways to fulfil them. But when these desires fall outside the hudud, the sacred boundaries set by Allah, there is no lawful way to fulfil them. The life of this world is restricted by the divine laws and boundaries establish...See more

Allah created the Earth for us, then created us and honored us by having the angels prostrate to a human. Allah then further bestows His favor on human beings by allowing Adam to live in paradise. From the beginning of our creation Allah has blessed humans with gift after gift, blessing after blessing. So what does Our Master want in return? Allah only gives Adam one simple command, a command that is only for Adam’s benefit not Allah’s. Such a si...See more
