….The unshaken belief…. ﺑﺴﻢ ﷲ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ اﻟﺮﺣﯿﻢ
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate "And when thy Lord took from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed, and made them testify touching themselves, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify'-- lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, 'As for us, we were heedless of this,' (7:172) Just as we know that it is wrong to lie, steal and cheat, deep inside people know that it is wrong to disbelieve. While we believe, Alhamdulillah, but how strong is our faith--are we certain in our beliefs? Look at our actions and our desires--are they all about seeking Allah's good pleasure? If not, then it is a sign that we are not all sure about what we believe. "Those who submit themselves completely to Allah and do good have grasped the Firmest Handhold. The end result of all affairs is with Allah." (31:22) An inspiring personality in strengthening and improving our faith is Abu Bakr, Allah be well pleased with him. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him the title as-Siddiq for his power to discern the truth. His faith was too strong to be shaken by anything. He sacrificed everything for the sake of Allah and he was everything to the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace. He was a man with great aspirations but his aspirations were only to please Allah. And so he became the best Companion and the greatest after the Prophets. "As for him who gives out and has taqwaa (god fearingness) and confirms the Good, We will pave his way to Ease. But as for him who is stingy and selfsatisfied, and denies the Good, We will pave his way to Difficulty. ( 92:5-10) http://journey2allah.blogspot.com
May Allah make us among the people of taqwaa, Ameen.
