 I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (SAW), call upon Allah if and let ample provisions be granted for your followers. Surely the Persians and the Romans have been given abundance of wealth though they do not worship Allah (SWT)'. 'O son of Khattab,' he replied. 'They are a people for whom their pleasures have been hastened in this worldly life!

In another narration Rasoolullah (SAW) states:
'Are you not satisfied that for them there should be this world and for us the Hereafter?' (Mishkatul Masdbeeh)

Fear and anxiety are two of the greatest enemies of mental health. There is nothing so harmful to one's mental balance as worry concerning what will happen in the future. Muslims strong in faith do not worry because we cannot know our future. The future is known only to Allah "if. This is why it is impossible for us to judge what will be good for us in the future:
'Warfare is prescribed for you, and that is distasteful to you, but may be that you are averse to a thing while it is good for you and maybe you like a thing while it is bad for you, Allah knows but you do not know.' (2:216)

'Umar Ibnul Khattab (RA) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say: 'If you had all relied upon Allah (SWT) with implicit trust, He would have certainly given you your livelihood as He supplies provisions to the birds who awake hungry in the morning and return with a full belly at dusk! (Tirmizi, Ibne Majah).

Aboo Zar (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'Surely I know a verse of the Glorious Qur'an if people would have followed it, it would have sufficed them: 'And whoso fears Allah, He will give him provision from where he knows not.' (Ahmad, Ibne Majah)


Ibne Mas'ood (RA) reported: 'The Messenger of Allah (SAW) read out to me: 'Surely Allah is the Great Giver of sustenance possessing absolute power, the Almighty! (Aboo Ddwood, Tirmizi)

A coward has no true faith in Allah (SWT) because he fears creation and not the Creator. The Muslim fears only Allah if and is certain He is sufficient as his protector. Allah (SWT) is always here to protect us and since our death has already been predetermined, nobody can cause our death before its allotted time. Belief in this doctrine gives the believer courage and strength of mind.

Jabbir (RA) reported that he fought alongside the Prophet (SAW) near Najd and when the Prophet (SAW) returned he returned with him. Then a midday sleep overtook themin a valley full thorny trees. The people spread out in search of trees for shade and Rasoolullah (SAW) settled down under a Samura tree and hung his sword on it. We slept for a while when Rasoolullah (SAW) called us and there was a desert Arab near him. Rasoolullah (SAW) said: 'This bedouin took my sword out of its sheath while I was asleep. When I woke up, the naked sword was in his hand and he said to me, 'Who can save you from me?' I said: 'Allah,' three times!
Rasoolullah (SAW) did not punish him and he sat down! (Bukhdri)

In another narration it is mentioned that the bedouin returned to his people and said: 'I have come to you from the best of men.' - Whatever happens the genuine Muslim takes positive, and constructive action. If it is a good thing, he will exploit its advantages. If it is a calamity he should think only of its positive side for there is a lesson in every experience. When a Muslim is afflicted by some inevitable tragedy, he accepts it with utter resignation.
'Say: Never shall (anything) come to us but what Allah (SWT) has ordained, for us. He is our Lord Protector and upon Allah (SWT) should the believers rely.' (9:51)

Those who believe in Islam possess everything they need to make them happy. The word 'Islam' in Arabic literally means 'peace'; peace with Allah (SWT), peace with one's self, peace with one's fellow beings and eternal peace in the Life Hereafter.

KNOWLEDGE - A DIVINE LIGHT

Knowledge is a deep ocean without an ocean bed - the deeper a person dives the more mysteries of knowledge will open up for him.
By diving in the heavenly ocean he will be gifted with pearls and corals, the fruits of the ocean of knowledge.
Knowledge is a divine light which shades it's radiance on the path of life, guiding its followers through every phase of life. Knowledge is divine - it differentiates between good and evil.
So O Muslims! - Take up this quest - the quest for the search of knowledge.
Grasp it while you are healthy and fine.
Gain it with zeal and crave.
Gain it from the cradle to the grave...
