Lesson on the last statement made by Khalid Ibn Walid, Lion of Allah, Sword of Allah.

“I was busy in the battlefield. I was unable to learn much about the Quran. But I have no regrets. Allah has chosen me to fulfill a part of Islam.”

One of the most important lesson for us to learn.

Not everyone of us will be masters in Quran. Not everyone of us will be professionals in Islamic knowledge. We have from amongst us doctors and accountants. We have amongst us man of different discipline and women. Whom we need in our society and community.

We do not underestimate the value of one another. We should never think “I’m the only Muslim who’s serving Islam.”

No matter who you are and what you have. You may serve Islam either through your profession, through your wealth, through your knowledge or through a combination of more than one of those things.

Do not ever think that the work you are doing is the only work of Allah or his messenger. Because that would be an insult to Allah, having brought down the spectrum of Islam to one job that you are doing.

No way. There are one hundred thousand ways you can serve Islam. If you think there’s only one way, you have insulted the other 99.999 thousand different ways of supporting Islam.

ONE Selawat Nabi SAW One blessing upon Nabi SAW, Allah sends 10 blessings upon him.

TWO Istighfar Astaghfirullah

Removing impurities from out hearts, thus allowing the blessings of our selawat and ibadah to come to us.

THREE Ya Dhal Jalali Wal Ikram

Ya Dhal Jalali, oh one of majesty, oh one of might, possesor of might, of greatness

Wal Ikram, benevolence, generousity, kindness.

FOUR La hawla wala quwata illah billah There is no might nor power except with Allah.

FIVE La illah ha illah anta subhanaka inni kuntu minazzalimin There is no God except you, glorified are you, i was of the oppressors.

Its a self confession and also a glorification of Allah.

SIX SubhanAllah Walhamdullilah walaillah ha illahallah muhammada rasullulah

The Prophet (bpuh) said:

"This world is cursed along with all that is in it, except for these: the remembrance of Allah, what follows it (i.e. good deeds and whatever Allah loves), the scholar, and the student.”

“Jealousy is a disease that wreaks havoc not only on the mind, but also on the body. It is said that there is no repose for the jealous one and that he is an enemy wearing the garb of a friend. In doing justice to the disease of jealousy, one can say that it is a fair one, for it begins with its bearer, killing him first.

I forbid both you and myself from jealousy, because before we can show mercy to others we must first show it to ourselves. By being jealous of others, we are feeding misery with our flesh and blood and we are giving our sound sleep to others.

The jealous person lights a fire and then jumps into it. Jealousy begets grief, pain, and suffering, thus destroying what was once a calm and virtuous life.

The curse of the jealous one is that he contests fate and contends that his Creator is unjust.

How like a disease is jealousy, yet unlike other diseases — the one afflicted by it receives no reward in the Hereafter. The jealous person shall remain in fury until the day he dies, or until the good fortune of others departs from them. Everyone can be reconciled except the jealous one, because reconciliation with him requires that the blessings of Allah are removed from you or that you give up your talents and good qualities. If you were to do this, then perhaps he would become happy despite himself.

We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the jealous one, a person who becomes like a black poisonous snake, finding no repose until it releases its venom into an innocent body.

So stay far away from jealousy and seek refuge in Allah from the jealous person, because he is constantly watching you.”

“To the degree that you remember Allah, your heart will be calm and cheerful. His remembrance carries with it the meaning of total dependence upon Him, of turning to Him for aid, of having good thoughts about Him, and of waiting for victory from Him. Truly, He is near when supplicated: He hears when He is called and He answers when He is invoked, so humble yourself before Him and ask of Him sincerely. Repeat His beautiful blessed name, and mention Him as being alone worthy of worship. Mention His praises, supplicate to Him, and ask forgiveness from Him: you will then find — by the will of Allah — happiness, peace, and illumination.”

..

There are certain people whose personalities are like magnets, attracting everyone who is nearby, simply because they are loved for their gentle talk, their good manners, and their noble deeds.

Winning the friendship of others is an art that is mastered by those that are noble and pious; a circle of people constantly surrounds them. Their mere presence in a gathering is a blessing, and when they are absent they are missed and asked about.”

'Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni. “Don't be sad.”

"Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a true believer; verily to him We will give a good life [in this world with respect, contentment, and lawful provision]. And We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do [i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter]." (Qur'an 16: 97)

The 'good life' that is mentioned in this verse refers to having a firm faith in the promise of our Lord and a steady heart that loves Him. People who lead this 'good life' will also have calm nerves when afflicted with hardship; they will he satisfied with everything that befalls them, because it was written for them, and because they are pleased with Allah as their Lord, with Islam as their Religion, and with Muhammad as their Prophet and Messenger.”

"Those that are wretched, in the full sense of the word, are those that are bereft of the treasures of faith. They are always in a state of misery and anger.”
