Supplication for One Whose Affairs have become Difficult

“O Allah, there is no ease except in that which you have made easy, and You make the difficulty, if You wish, Easy.”

[Narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih, no. 2427]

Great dua for students to recite during exam days.

Those Who Refuse to Enter Paradise

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“All of my ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse.” They asked: “O Messenger of Allah, who would refuse?” He said: “Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise and whoever disobeys me has refused.”

[Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7280]

Should I Prioritize my Dunya or Aakhirah?

Islam teaches us something better than equality - Equity: Being just by giving everything it's due proportion. This applies to everything, whether it be prioritizing tasks in our lives, gender issues or striking a balance between the life of this world and the Hereafter.

The Last Day or the Day of Judgement is 50,000 (fifty thousand) years long as evident from (the translation of the meanings of) this verse: "The angels and the Rûh [Jibrîl] ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years." [Surah al-Ma'aarij, 70:04]. We live in this world for about a 100 years. So if we take a ratio: 100/50,000 = 0.002 the due proportion we have to give to this world compared to just the Judgement Day (that is without considering the ETERNAL life of the Hereafter) is only 0.002. So are we, as Muslims really arranging our lives in accordance with this fact?

Think about it...

"Verily, this is an admonition, therefore whosoever wills, let him take a Path to His Lord!"

[Surah al-Muzzammil, 73:19]

The Least Punishment in the Hell Fire

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The least severely punished of the people of Hell will be a man who has two shoes and shoelaces of Fire – according to another version: two live coals will be placed on the soles of his feet – because of which his brains will boil as a pot boils. He will not think that anyone is being punished more severely than him, but he will be the one who is punished most lightly.”

[Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6562 and Muslim, 212]

We ask Allah to keep us safe from spending even  a second in Hell fire. Aameen.
