Luminosity

Sketched Soul  has weekly reminders which are so fruitful masha’Allah she shares with people interested to be on her email listing.  Every Jummuah I am reminded by something special & sweet, here’s one of them. May Allah reward her, and may we all be encouraged to take time for the tiny deeds that are enormous in the sight of Allah..ameen.

I’ve been getting them for a while, but this one struck me, because as a young girl I remember being told “I’m proud of you..You should be proud of yourself…” and comments of the like.  All good and all but to pour Allah’s remembrance in one’s acheivements are more pleasing towards Allah, because all good comes from Him & not primarly from hard work as many can easily fall into believing.  Allah’s Gift is also is also Barakah defined. Alhamdulilah…

As-salaamu’alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu

Allah’s Gift

Iyad bin Himar (radiAllahu ‘anhu) said:
The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alahyhi wa-salaam) said, “Verily, Allah has revealed to me that you should adopt humility. So that no one may wrong another and no one may be distainful and haughty towards another.”

Muslim

Commentary: Anyone whom Allah has granted wealth or authority, beauty or splendour, should take it as Allah’s Gift. He should take to adopt humility and humbleness and express his gratitude for it to Allah. He should benefit people with the gifts bestowed upon him by Allah and not make them a means of pride and oppression.”
