A journey of a young, UK based, Muslim

A wise man once said to his son, “My son, do not become resentful when you are afflicted with trials, for indeed that is tantamount to having bad thoughts about one’s Lord, and also, it gives pleasure to one’s enemy (shaytaan). Do not mock others, for indeed by Allaah, every time I ever mocked anyone, I was afflicted in the same way as the person who I mocked. In this world, man is a target of arrows that come to him successively: some pass him by, some fall short, some fall to his right & others to his left, & some strike him. Know that for every deed, you are rewarded, & how you deal with others is how you will be dealt with. Like the saying goes “WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!!!” whoever is dutiful to his parents, his children will be dutiful to him. Avoid greed & ambition, for both represent poverty in the present. Fear Allaah as much as you are able. If you are able to make today better than yesterday & tomorrow better than today & your secrets better than your outward deeds, then do so. Beware of deeds that you have to apologize for, for one never has to apologize for goodness. When you stand for prayer, perform the prayer of one who is saying farewell, as if you feel that you will never afterwards pray Again (i.e., that you will die). Adhere to modesty, & you will be of its people. Do not inflict harm upon others; rather give them good, & forgive you are able to. Like the saying goes, “FORGIVE & FORGET!” as a person who does not forgive, will not be forgiven, what goes around, comes around. Do not be miserly if you are asked for something & do not tarry when one seeks help from you. Whoever is stingy, Allaah will make things narrow for him; & whoever gives, Allaah will give him a replacement for what he gave.”

So next time you do/say something to someone,think to yourself,will you like it if it’s done to you???!!!

would you like to have a taste of your own medicine???!!!
