“The People will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their food.” Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be froth and scum like that carried down by a torrent (of water), and Allah will take the fear of you from the breasts (hearts) of your enemy and cast al-wahn into your hearts.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death.” [An authentic hadith recorded by Abu Dawud and Ahmad]
To be a Muslim, or a muslim..
What's the difference?
The way I look at it, is that a Muslim is just to be called a Muslim..
To tell people that u are a Muslim, but not performing the 5 daily prayers..
To have a Muslim name, but not learning the meanings of Allah's words (the Quran)..
But, when u say that u are a muslim,
Everything u do is to please Allah..
U may not have an Arabic name, but u pray on time..
U may not wear turban or thoubs every single day, but u memorized and understand the Quran..
U may not have a big house, a luxurious car, but every single thing u do will bring benefit to the others..
It's just that Muslim is a noun, and muslim is a verb..
Whatever it is, don't judge your brothers or sisters by their covers..
Well, u may see a sister wearing hijab, but she's struggling with her Quran recitation..
U may see a sister with long hair, but she's very kind to other people, and is actually trying to understand why she should be wearing hijab..
U may see a brother wearing caps and jeans, but have actually been spreading the message of islam to many people..
And many more..
What I want to remind myself and u who read this,
Is that once we CHOOSE to become a muslim, we must try our best to do what Allah tells us to do and not to do what Allah forbids us to do..
Gain more islamic knowledge everyday, and share it with the others..
بلغوا عني و لو أية" Deliver from me even one sentence"
[Bukhari]
Show good manners because that's one of the main reason Allah sent The Prophet to the ummah, to correct our manners!
Take care of our sisters and brothers in islam..
Share ideas, give advises, do not make assumptions and spread bad words about others !?
A reminder for myself to become a better muslim everyday..
May Allah bless us all..
Are you proud to be a muslim?
I do, insyaAllah !!
=)
