Blame Culture

Blame Culture

Some people will blame you for everything.

When you advise them against something for their own good, they will say you are against them.  When you don’t advise them they will say you didn’t care for them.  When they still do it anyway and fail, they will blame you for their failure.

In their eyes YOU will always be to blame, so don’t forget to pray for them over & above what you do for them.

3 Types of People to Pray For

Three categories of people we should pray for today & everyday.
The deceased, the sick & the distressed.

Time Ticks

Time ticks but we still don’t click,
days go by yet we continue to lie,
very strange how we still don’t change.
Years pass but we fail.

Mufti Ismail Menk

Jealousy

Those who are jealous of others are contesting the Decision of the Almighty, dropping their faith to a very low level.

The Almighty is the sole Decider as to who will have what amount in terms of wealth, health, knowledge, beauty, intellect, wisdom, contentment, success in every aspect of life etc. Nobody has a say in this Divine Decree!

So when others are jealous of us, they are upset with the Almighty’s Decision and have primarily declared war against Him before their enmity with us. What type of success would such a person expect in his or her life?

This is why we have been warned of the detrimental nature of the damage caused by jealousy to our faith to begin with, to our other good deeds which are eaten away as a result and then to our overall well-being. It never pays to be jealous of others in any way.

May the Almighty protect us from this dangerous disease. Aameen

Indicator of Nisbat

One’s akhlaaq (character) is an indication of one’s nisbat (connection) with Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam).

Don’t Lose Allah

“It is better to lose something for the Almighty than to lose the Almighty for something.”
Mufti Ismail Menk

Concealing a Defect

Concealing the defect of a product when selling it is a major sin.

Be honest & enjoy the blessings with your wealth.

Fickle in Friendship

People never forget any wrong done to them by others and any good done to them is easily forgotten. However a believer should overlook any wrong done to him and engrave in his heart and mind any good done to him no matter how small.

Unfortunately, nowadays the tables are turned and people are fickle in friendship and loyalty, and are willing to overlook many years of good done to them, yet are unforgiving even for a single mistake.

Are You an Asset

Although the number of good people in the world is decreasing, I still know many.

But more important than knowing good people is asking myself, “Am I considered a good person?”

Good as in sincere, genuine, well-mannered, fair & kind, balanced & trying to please my Maker.

Are you ready to make an effort to be an asset to yourself & humanity at large?

Then you are a good person too! Alhamdulillah.
