Bismillah walhamdolilah wassalatu wassalam ‘ala rasool Allah
We live this life yearning to be amongst those whom Allah loves. On top of that, we wish and pray that Allah gives us the opportunity to be amonst the blessed who sincerly love Him. Truly, this only comes from His Will and we should beg him for that opportunity day and night.
Here is a beautiful du’a that we have been taught by the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam:
Allahuma innee as aluka hubbak wa hubba maiyy yuhibbook wal ‘amalalathzee yuballighunee hubbak
O Allah! Indeed I ask you for your love and love of those who love you andlove of the deedwhich will draw me in attaining your love.
SubhanAllah! What a beautiful du’a. May Allah give us theability to memorize this du’a anduse iteveryday in our journey of attaining His love. Ameen.

Bismillah walhamdolilah wassalatu wassalam ‘ala rasool Allah
Umer radhiAllah anhu used to say:
“If Allah strikes me with calamity I will thank Allah for four things: 1) that the test was not in my deen 2) the calamity could have been worse 3) it is an expiation for my sins 4) any loss after losing the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam is nothing”
The greatest man that lived after the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radhiAllah anhu, Umer ibn al-Khattab radhiAllah anhu. What a man! SubhanAllah. We thank Allah for giving us such amazing examples of people to emulate and look up to. Alhamdolilah!
Being thankful to Allah is indeed a great favour granted to the slave from Him. Without His will we would never have the ability to thank Him. On top of that, being thankful to Allah in times of acalamity is agreater favour granted to the slave from Him, subhanahu wa ta’ala. Not only has Allah allowed the slave to thank Him for the bounties that are evident, but He has allowed him to look deeper and thank Him for those bounties that arn’t as evident.
My brothers and sisters, all calamities are indeed a great blessing from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala because it gives us an opportunity to reflect and understand that everything is in His control. and if He has willed it, then it is always for our betterment. Look to the example of Umer ibn al-Khattab radhiAllah anhu, and let’s start putting things into correct perspective. Next time we stricken with a calamity–a lost job, car accident, death in the family–go back and thank Allah because atleast you are still Muslim and you still have Jannah waiting for you in the hereafter. Thank Allah, say Alhamdolilah, because we all know things could have always been much worse: if you lost your job, you could have lost your home; if you had a car accident, you could have lost your legs; if you lost a member in the family, you’ve already lost the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasalam.And thank Allah, in abundance, because that little bit of distress and difficulty is an expiation of your sins.
Allahuakber!

In present times, actually the soul is not getting this food, thus it is in a very dismal state. It is absolutely wounded and is craving for its food. Akin to a bird inside a cage that does not get its food, so would not it then shriek and yen in agitation? If you take that very bird with its cage in a lovely room or in a beautiful garden or an elite club, would its hunger go away? Only food is what it needs. And when food is provided, then keep it anywere; even a little cottage will be excessively good for it. The soul inside our bodies, which is restless in fury, is analogous to this bird. Today this bird is not getting that food; what rich, what poor. Who said exquisite houses, luxurious cars, lavish parties are food for the soul. Its provision is something else altogether.
Remember Allah abundantly! Then witness how you discover peace.

A Sahabi once said, “O, Rasulullah, (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM), I know that the commandments of Shareeat are many, but of these tell me the one that I may practice throughout my life.” The Prophet, (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM), replied, “Keep your tongue always moist (i.e. busy) with the zikr of Allah.” According to another Hadith, Harat Mu’aaz (Radhiyal-laho anho) has said, “Once at the time of my departure from Rasulullah (Sallallahu ALAIHI WASALLAM), I asked him to advise me of that action which is most pleasing to Almighty Allah: whereupon he replied, “At the time of your death, your tongue should be busy with zikr of Almighty Allah.”

COMPETITION to do good deeds among the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was impeccable.
Abu Hurairah narrated that Abu Dharr said to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him):
The wealthy people have all the rewards; they pray as we pray; they fast as we fast; and they have surplus wealth which they give in charity; but we have no wealth which we may give in charity
Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
“Abu Dharr, should I not teach you phrases by which you acquire the rank of those who excel you? No one can acquire your rank except one who acts like you. [...] Say Allahu Akbar 33 times; and say Alhamdulillah 33 times; and say Subhan Allah 33 times; and end it by saying, Laa ilaha illAllahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyi wa yomeetu wa Huwa ‘ala kulli shayin Qadeer. (There is no god worthy of worship but Allah alone, He has no partner, to Him belongs the Kingdom, to Him praise is due and He has power over everything.) Your sins will be forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea.” (Abu Dawud, no. 1499)
The rich companions heard this too and even they started acting on the above sunnah. So the poor came back and complained again. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Haadhaa fadlullahi, yu’tiyhu man yashaa.” (This is the bounty of Allah, He gives to whom He wishes.)
