"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

Its been a weekly routine for us to recite Surah Kahf every Friday, right? and we do it in most of the Fridays.

Now, have you ever wondered why Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked us to recite Surah Kahf every Friday?

Or is there any prefence for this surah over the rest 113 surahs? What's the benefit of reciting this weekly?

Lets check it out-

First of all, in this Surah Allah gives to us 4 different, but INTERESTING stories!

Lets explore each along with the lessons we get from each of them....

🔘1."The people of the cave"

It’s the story of young men who lived in a disbelieving town, so they decide to migrate for the sake of Allah and run away. Allah rewards them with mercy in the cave and protection from the elements of nature.

The lesson of this story is the 'Trial of Faith'❗

🔘2. "The owner of two gardens."

A story of a man whom Allah blessed with two beautiful gardens, but the man forgot to thank the One who blessed him with everything and he even dared to doubt Allah regarding the afterlife. So his garden was destroyed – he regretted it, but was too late and his regret did not benefit him.

Lesson of this story: 

'Trial of wealth'❗

🔘3. "Musa(as) and Khidr (as)"

When Musa (as)was asked “Who is the most knowledgeable of the people of Earth?” Musa (as) said that it was him as he assumed he was the only prophet on Earth at the time. But Allah revealed to him that there’s someone who knows more than him about certain things. Musa (as)traveled looking for him and learned how divine wisdom can sometimes be hidden in matters which we perceive as bad.

And Lesson of this story: 

'Trial of knowledge'❗

And now to the FINAL one, its somewhat GLOBAL,

🔘4. "Dhul-Qarnyne"

Allah mentions the story of a great king who was given knowledge and power travelling the world helping people and spreading all that’s good. He was able to overcome the problem of Yajooj-Majooj by building a massive dam with the help of people whom he could not even understand.

Lesson of this story: 

'Trial of power'❗

ALLAH says to us 4 kind of stories relating 4 kind of trials that WE ALL pass by in our day to day lives!

Now have a look through HADITHS to learn more about this surah....

🔖In many hadith, the messenger of Allah (pbuh) mentions that the one who reads and memorises verses of Surah Al Kahf will be protected from the trials of the Dajjal!

❔NOW, why this Surah?

❔What is the relation between SURAH KAHF and DAJJAL??

The Answer is simple...

Dajjal will appear before the day of judgement with 4 trials:

🔘A) He will ask people to worship him and not Allah: Trial of faith!

🔘B) He will be given powers to start/stop rain and tempt people with his wealth: 

Trial with wealth!

🔘C) He will tempt people with "knowledge” and news he gives them: Trial of knowledge!

Above is one of the Best Ever Message I have Received.

Kindly circulate this in ur friend circle and other groups...

Difficult decision between job & faith. True story. Power of tawakkul.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Bismi-llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

A TRUE STORY. THE POWER OF TAWAKKUL:

Recently, a Muslim man was caught in a dilemma, where he faced two choices, both difficult. This man was the manager of one of the largest hotels in Egypt. He was very good at his job. Because of this he was highly valued by his superiors.

However, there was one element of the job that galled him. A duty that he felt ashamed over. In any large hotel in Egypt, serving alcoholic drinks is a must, and that duty was killing him inside. He knew that serving alcohol is haram. It is forbidden by Allah, and whatever money comes from it is not blessed but haram; but it was part of the job and had to be taken care of, regardless of how he felt towards it.

Finally he decided to go to one of the well- known Egyptian sheikhs and ask his advice. After arranging for an appointment to meet this sheikh, he met him and explained the problem. The sheikh without hesitation said, “You must leave this job.”

 He explained to the sheikh, “This is the only job I know. I’ve been working in this field all my life. I don’t know what else to do. I have a wife and children to take care of. I can’t just leave the job and be unemployed and penniless like so many others in Egypt.”

The sheikh replied, “Did you come to me thinking that I might give you permission to do what Allah forbids? Leave this job for the sake of Allah.”

The sheikh reminded the manager of a verse from the Quran:

“And whoever is conscious of Allah, He will make for him a way out, And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him.”

The man returned to the hotel, knowing that he had to make the most difficult decision of his life. He trembled when he thought of the risk he was taking, and the fear of what the future might hold for him and his family.

Finally, With a strong faith and an absolute trust in Allah, he made a plea to the heavens: “O Allah, I trust You, and I’m doing this only for You. I know you will make for me away out, so please help me.”

He headed directly to his office, sat at his desk, and began writing his resignation.

As he was writing, the phone in front of him rang. It was his superior at the corporation office, calling with news. The manager was stunned and could hardly believe the news he heard, but it was true. The man was informed that he had been promoted to go and manage a new hotel located in Al-Madinah, the holy city of our Prophet (peace be upon him), and right next to the Masjid of the Prophet. Of course, being in Saudi Arabia, this new hotel sold no alcohol! Subhanallah.

His dua had been answered in a heartbeat, from one moment to the next, before he even finished the letter of resignation.

Till this day, the man is still the manager of the hotel in Madinah.

Please forward this to encourage others to put their trust in Allah. He will settle our affairs for us in the best way.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلنِىْ مِمَّنْ تَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَفَيْتَهُ وَاسْتَهْدكَ فَهَدَيْتَهُ وَ اسْتَنْصَرَكَ فَنَصَرْتَهُ

Allahummaj ‘alni miman tawwakala ‘alaika,  fakafait-tahu wastahdaka fahadaittahu wastansaraka fanasaratahu

(O Allah! Let us be among those who had  complete trust in Thee; so You sufficed them; and they sought guidance from  Thee; so You directed them to the right Path; and they asked help of Thee; so  You assisted them.)

What to be thankful for? How am I blessed?

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY?

I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. 

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." 

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. 

To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.

 "How is it that there is no work going on here? I asked."

"So sad," the angel sighed.

 "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings? "I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Alhamdulillah", "Thank you Allah."

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy, and if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness.. You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... Youare ahead of 700 million people in the world."

"If you can attend a place of worship without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world."

"If your parents are still alive and still married.... you are very rare."

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you'reunique to all those in doubt and despair......."

"Ok," I said. "What now? How can I start?"

The Angel said, "If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all."

Have a good day,count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are..........

Allah's Timing Is Always Right

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Bismi-llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

Two beggars knocked on the door asking for bread. One beggar was given a loaf and sent away. The other was kept waiting and waiting. At length, the second beggar became concerned. "Why am I being denied? What is so lacking in me that the other one was favoured over me?" he asked himself. Unknown to the beggar, a fresh loaf was being baked for him inside the house.

Let’s remember that Allah’s delays are not always His denials. His timing is always perfect.

Allah has perfect timing..never early never late. It takes a little patience and it takes a lot of faith but its worth the wait.

We dont know what tomorrow holds but know who holds tomorrow - ALLAH, The Most Merciful, The Most Loving, The All Wise.

"My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.”

No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah’s Decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come on your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee.” (Umar ibn al-Khattab r.a)

Coal and Diamond. Difference?

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Bismi-llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

The shaykh asked me “What is the cheapest rock on this planet?”; I replied “Coal.”

“And what is the most expensive?” I replied “Diamonds.”

The sheikh answered “And what are both made of?” I answered “Carbon.”

He continued “That’s right and you know what the only difference between the two are? Pressure.

Pressure creates beautiful things and when Allāh (ﷻ) tests you with difficult situations it is because he wants to shape you into the most beautiful thing possible.”

You might be struggling in life but Allah SWT wants to beautify you and your life through these  trials!! So be happy and be thankful to Him for what ever situation You are in  ! 

 اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ ❤️ 💕 علي كل حال🌷
