Sayonara Jahiliyah

In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious Most Merciful...

Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blesssings be upon him and his Household (Ahlul Bayt)

Updates: Salam everyone. Kaif haluk? Hopefully everyone is in the best health and most importantly the best of iman insyaAllah. It is the second week of the second semester. the subjects are getting more baffling and perplexing, not surprising. But after the first semester i found myself more collected, Alhamdulillah. (93:4) I passed my subjects in the first sem and InsyaAllah i can do it again.

oh yeah, ramadhan is finally coming! couldn't be any more happier =) Ahlan wasahlan ya ramadhan! May this holy month be a meaningful one, as in we satiate ourselves with ibadah that could elevate ourselves in His Sight, InsyaAllah (qiam, tarawih, reciting quran, supplication, etc). Equipping ourselves with these strengths, may it fortify us from our nafs and jahiliyah, insyaAllah..=D

Humans are weak beings. we have desires and wants, and sometimes all we want to do is indulge and spoil ourselves rotten. most of the time, these 'things' that we like is not in favor of Allah. Examples: spending too much time on fb, wasting time, bad talk others, wasting money on irrelevant things, maksiat, etc. These, to be blatant, are jahiliyah. I am referring to myself, especially. It feels so pathetic and pitiful to be enslaved by all these worldly things (couldn't be any more truthful to myself). When you actually know that they don't really benefit you in world or Hereafter. Astaghfirullah...

Say (O Muhammad ): "Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds?

"Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds!" (al-Kahf:103-104)

Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever with Allah (of good deeds) will remain. And those who are patient, We will certainly pay them a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (an-Nahl:96)

whatever that is worldly, will perish. And what is favourable in Allah's sight will remain. therefore, it is incumbent to expend our time and energy for things that will be of pertinence to us in the Hereafter, that is: our ibadah and others that bring pleasure to Allah. 

Allah had generously mentioned in the Quran, of ways to enrich our souls:

Verily, the rising by night (for Tahajjud prayer) is very hard and most potent and good for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (understanding) the Word (of Allah). (al-Muzammil:6)

Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success,

And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers). (al-A'la:14-15)

And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"(al-Mu'min:60)

Whatever that you perform in the name of Allah, is for your own good really. It is for your own purification and goodness, insyaAllah. For He said:

And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, Allah is free of all wants from the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists). (al-Ankabut:6)

Whosoever does righteous good deed it is for (the benefit of) his ownself, and whosoever does evil, it is against his ownself, and your Lord is not at all unjust to (His) slaves. (al-Fussilat:46)

If you feel you don't have the inner strength to be istiqamah in your ibadah, there is always Allah to guide you. With sincerity, invoke His Help and pray for His Guidance. InsyaAllah, He will be more than willing to quench your needs.

And if an evil whisper from Shaitan (Satan) tries to turn you away (O Muhammad ) (from doing good, etc.), then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.(Fussilat:36)

O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah is Rich (Free of all wants and needs), Worthy of all praise.(Fatir:15)

May Allah bless us with the best of iman, may He accept our repentances, may He accept our deeds, insyaAllah. 

May He guide us away from our jahiliyah and whatever that led us astray.

Sayonara Jahiliyah.


InsyaAllah..
