"Learn to see each moment as it’s own birth–entirely separate from the moment that proceeded it, and from the moment that will follow. Each moment is a new existence, a new world in which we will be born and will die. Our problem is that we become enslaved to the moments that have passed, enslaved to old worlds that have already passed away. But in reality, more than a thousand times a day, we are born. Yet many of us choose to just let ourselves die again and again, as each new moment fades. We forget that each birth is a new opportunity to start over, to turn around, or to keep going. To rise higher, to heal, to grow. To be different. Better. Each new moment calls for transformation, renewal, return. Tawbah. But we’re too busy dying." -Yasmin Mogahed

WORDS
by Sharmeen Ilyas
Chapter (55) sūrat l-raḥmān (The Most Gracious)
The Most Merciful
Taught the Qur’an
Created man He has taught him speech (and intelligence).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I give you the four words: REHMAAN, QURAN, INSAAN, BAYAAN. What relationship one can draw from the above. How would you connect the above four? Surely, it shows first Allah is Merciful. it is due to His mercy that he taught Quran ,the plan for the creation, then the creation, Insaan, then the purpose of the creation thereby smoothing the path between the speech of Lord and speech of a mankind. The relation is crystal clear. Allah has given Quran to Insaan to bayaan, to express oneself clearly not just to speak but to explain in any form, speak or write.
Therefore, after teaching Quran to Prophet Muhammad and then to us, it should be explained eloquently to others and that should be the prime focus of our speech. The tongue and the ability to speech is the ni’mah and every ni’mah comes with responsibility. Therefore, we have to use this nimah in the path of our creator. But let’s be honest and examine ourselves. Let’s take a sneak preview of what we say in our everyday routine conversation. Honestly, how many words of Quran or message of this divine book has been uttered from our tongue, how many times we praise Allah, we glorify it and convey His message to others. On the contrary, how much gossiping, chattering and cackling we do throughout the day. Ahh, the Most Merciful, the Rehmaan created us and taught His Noble Book and then taught us the ability to express and explain but it is generously wasted and manipulated by us. We don’t realize the importance and worth of our words. We randomly say things we never think of and we never think after we say something. How unfortunate we are to undermine the importance of this bounty and being playful and neglectful with it.
The reason is nothing again but to be heedless of this message, His book. Once we understand the message profoundly, we’ll never be negligent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter (50) sūrat qāf Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared (to record). Everything is recorded but we are still unmindful. The ability to speak is a gift but with every gift, there is a payback. One has to be very careful of what we say as every single word is noted down, it is recorded. Even the hadith explain the same dilemma.
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated: The Prophet(S.A.W) said, “A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance and due to that Allah will raise him to degrees. A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and due to that he will be thrown into the Hell fire.”(Narrated by Bukhari).
Similarly, in other narration terrors of useless speech has been emphasized in these words: Abu Thaalbah Al-Khushani (RA) narrrated: Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W) said, “The dearest to me among you and nearest to me (on the Day of Standing) will be one who is the best of you in conduct; and the one who is most disliked by me among you and furthest from me (on the Day of Standing) will be those who are worst of you in conduct, those who talk with pretence, the boastful, the talkative.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something to reflect upon:
sikhaya jis hasti nay tuj ko parhna parhana usi kay kalam ko hai tujh ko logo tak phuchana jis nay tujh ko quran ki nai’mat say nawaza us hasti ko tu nay ab tak kiyo na jaana chahta hai agar tu us ni ‘mat kaa haq ada karna
to bas is kitab kay zarya hai har aik ko jagaana har dil har dharkan har nafs ka yahi rahay tarana kay sirf Teri zaat, Teri hasti, Teri raza ko hai paana agar tu nay yeh paa liya to sab kuch hai paaya agar ye naa paaya to kuch bhi nahi hai paaya

But the secret unfolded on a blessed, blessed day, There's no avoiding the void without Allah the Great! ♥ “Truly in the heart there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness.”
— Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah

“The heart gets sick as the body does and its cure is in asking for forgiveness and protection.
It also becomes rusty like a mirror does and it is polished by remembering Allah.
The heart can also be naked like the body and can lose its dress and decoration, which is piety..
And it can feel hunger and thirst like the body does, and its nourishment is knowledge, love, trust, and offering service to Allah.”
[Imam Ibn al Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah RahimahuAllah]

No amount of physical beauty will ever be as valuable as a beautiful heart.
