| Is there any
ilah (god) with Allah?
Surah An-Naml(27)
Ayah 60
Is not He (better than your gods) Who created the heavens and
the earth, and sends down for you water (rain) from the sky,
whereby We cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and
delight? It is not in your ability to cause the growth of
their trees. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but
they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!

A
Spiritual Visitor
I swear by the heavens that there is a spiritual visitor each
night. If only you knew this nightly visitor! It is like a
star, whose brightness pierces the heart. Every soul has a
guardian watching over it.
-Qur'an, At-Tariq, 86:1-4 |

The
Reward of This World
So
Allah gave them the reward of this world and a magnificent
reward of the hereafter. Allah loves those who excel in good
deeds.
-Qur'an,
Al-Imran, Surah 3:148 |
| The
Believers Are Tested
Surah Al-Ankabut(29) Ayah's 2-3
Do people think that they will be left alone because
they say: "We believe," and will not be tested.
And We indeed tested those who were before them. And
Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who
are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood
of) those who are liars, (although Allah knows all that
before putting them to test).
Hadith
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam)
said: "The people most severely tested are the Prophets, then
the righteous, then the next best and the next best. A man
will be tested in accordance with the degree of his religious
commitment; the stronger his religious commitment, the
stronger his test."
[Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi (7:78)] |

Full
Knowledge of Your Enemies
Allah has full knowledge of your enemies. Sufficient is
He as your Protector, and sufficient is He to comfort you.
-Qur'an, An-Nisa, Surah 4:45 |

The
Keys to All That is Hidden
He holds the keys to all that is hidden from perception; no
one but Him has the knowledge thereof. He is aware of all
that inhabit the land and dwell in the sea; he knows every
leaf that falls. The tiniest grain in the darkest bowels of
the earth, everything fresh or arid is recorded in a glorious
book of records.
-Qur'an, Al-An'am, Surah 6:59 |

Who
Will Restore Us to Life?
People ask: "After we have turned to bone and dust, shall we
be restored to life?" I reply: "You will--even if you turn to
stone or iron, or any other substance which you may think
cannot be brought to life."
They ask: "Who will
restore us to life?" I say: "You will be restored to life by
the one who first created you."
-Qur'an, Al-Isra, 17:49-51 |

Oppression Sahih
Bukhari
Volume 3, Book 43, Number 620:
Narrated Abu
Said Al-Khudri (radiallaho unho):
Allah's Apostle (salallaho alaihi wasallam) said,
"When the believers pass safely over (the bridge across)
Hell, they will be stopped at a bridge in between Hell and
Paradise where they will retaliate upon each other for the
injustices done among them in the world, and when they get
purified of all their sins, they will be admitted into
Paradise. By Him in Whose Hands the life of Muhammad is
everybody will recognize his dwelling in Paradise better than
he recognizes his dwelling in this world."

saying of any one of you coincides with that of the angels,
all his past sins will be forgiven."

| Sincerity
and Sincere Advice
Tameem ad-Daaree
radiallaahu `anhu said: The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam said (three times): "The Deen is naseehah (sincerity
and sincere advice)." We said: To whom? He said: "To Allaah,
His Book, His Messenger and to the leaders of the Muslims and
the general people."

In
the Open And In Secret
Those who glorified Allah both in open and in secret
will be the foremost to enter Paradise on the Day of
Resurrection.
-The Prophet Muhammad, as reported by Abd'Allah ibn Abbas |
|
This
is the Way! Escape! The stories of the prophets in the Qur'an sadden the
soul within its prison. The captive soul seeks freedom from
ignorance. Look to the prophets, those souls freed from
bonds. Their voices call from within their religions, "This
is the way! Escape! Escape! This is the way we escaped. There
is no other way but our way."
-Rumi, "Mathnawi" |

The
Most Compassionate Allah shall certainly reward those who believe in
theirLord and all His messengers and do not make any
distinction between them. Allah is the Most Compassionate,
the Merciful.
-Qur'an, An-Nisa, Surah 4:152 |

Do
Not Squander Your Wealth
Give to your close relatives what they need, and also give
generously to the destitute and to wayfarers. Do not squander
your wealth; those who are wasteful are the brothers and
sisters of Satan—and Satan is always ungrateful to his Lord.
But if, while waiting for the Lord's bounty, you are unable
to help your relatives, the destitute and wayfarers, then at
least speak kindly to them.
-Qur'an, Al-Isra, Surah 17:26-28 |

Words of
Wisdom |
|
Uthman ibn Affan, may God be
pleased with him, said:
"The adultress would like it if
all women committed adultery or fornication."
The reason is either:
- that such people resent
anyone standing out from them as a good example, or
- that they are envious of
her superiority and the praise she may attract, or
- it may be that they do not
want to give her a pretext to use against them.
