You are mild-mannered, good,
strong and you love to help others.
You are SIMBA.
You're young, naive, and misguided. However, don't fear, because your growth comes exponentially with hard times ahead. Only then will you reach the goals you've set out to accomplish.
The Sorting Hat would put you in Gryffindor.
You are bold, passionate, and brave. You have a highly-defined sense of right and wrong, and you are not afraid to speak your mind or fight for what you want.
I was chatting with a friend and we came to talk about this topic of extreme differences in understanding of practicing the Qur'aan and Sunnah.
And then I came across this hadith.
Anas says: "During a journey, I saw the Messenger of Allah pray eight
rak'at in the early day. When he finished, he said: 'I prayed my prayer
wishing and fearing. I asked my Lord for three things and He gave me two
and withheld one. I asked Him not to put my ummah to trial by famine
and He granted that request. And I asked that they would not be
overtaken by their enemies and He granted that request. And I asked that
they not be split into groups and parties and He refused that
request."' This is related by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i, al-Hakim, and ibn
Khuzaimah who classifies it as sahih.
Having read this hadith, it really is a reminder that if we are not careful, we may fall into such traps. Islam unites, not divide.
Our Prophet s.a.w. prayed such that we are united. That was what he wanted of us and if we truly love him and wants to live by his way, this is one of it.
Oh Allah, bind our hearts,ummah of our Prophet s.a.w. together in keeping on the path that You redha. ('=
As I recall raising my hands to make du'a. Reciting "Yaa Faariqal Furqan, Wa Munzilal Qur'an, Bil Hikmati Wal Bayaan, Baarikillah hummalana fi shahr Ramadhan...."
Right there.
The thought of ramadhan leaving and the thought of "have I done enough?" and the thought of "have I gotten closer to Allah and having Islam as my way of life?" was just too overwhelming.
Yaa Allah, this small heart needs more cleansing. pakai clorox pon takpe! Extra white! ^_^
" The Prophet s.a.w. was not an elitist. When the Prophet s.a.w. was sitting down, and he was kicking back with Abu Bakr and Umar r.a. and you walk into that masjid you would have "Which one's the Prophet S.A.W.?" He didnt sit on something higher than them, or dress in something that anointed him. He didnt have something that was distinguishing mark that was apparent to a person from distance. He was a normal guy. he was a normal man with an extraordinary mission, extraordinary purpose of life. so our aim is to recapture that natural sunnah. another word for it is fitrah. so that your heart is at ease in the worship of Allah." - Sheikh Yahya Ibrahim
The BEST of mankind and yet, the most humble of them all. MasyaaAllah.
Oh Allah, please allow me to be amongst those who follows him s.a.w. with hikmah and rahmah.
It probably didn't mean much back then because of my stubbornness. But as life passes by and understanding what dakwah really is all about, this made real sense.
