⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲 On the day of Judgement the Prophet will lodge the following complaint. "Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense." May Allah swt protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only. Today, we will discuss two ways to attract clarity our lives. The First way In 33:43 " He is the One who prays upon you, along with His angels, to bring you out of darkness and into the light. And He is ever Merciful towards the believers" This will happen when we - praise Him(Allah swt) morning and evening ÙˆَسَبِّØُوهُ بُÙƒْرَØ©ً ÙˆَØ£َصِيلًا Secondly, In 33: 56 "God and His angels prays upon the prophet. O you who believe, you shall pray upon him, and comply completely." Here, we are encouraged to pray upon the Prophet as God and His an
The story of Mihraj or Ascension to the Heavens is a phenomenon only for our Prophet Muhammad saws. Whether you believe it or not it is all up to you. But when I read the story on and on I am beginning to know myself. Rasoolullah told us that if you want to know God – know thyself. It is a simple statement but to extract the essence of this message you need deep thinking about your self and your relationship with Allah swt.
In that story, Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam brought Prophet Muhammad saws to the worlds of the unseen. He showed our beloved Prophet that part of faith (with the command of our creator) which we utter in our daily lives with our tongue that is ‘wal yawmil akhiri’. And when he reached the entry to Allah’s presence Hazereth Jibreel Alaihisalam shivered with fear. Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam said Prophet Muhammad saws, ‘stop, you go forward from here’. It has been stated in many hadiths that Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam gave a serious impression to the Prophet. When Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam was asked by the Prophet about Hazereth Mikaeel alaihisalam, he said “I never saw him smiling since hell fire was created”
The only reason the angels are not smiling is because of their fear that Allah swt might throw them into the hell fire on the day of Judgement. Remember the angels are powerful than humans. It is also mentioned that Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam had appeared before Prophet Muhammad and covered the entire horizon. And yet Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam fear Allah swt. Who are we to ignore this fear? Hazereth Jibreel has the power to squeeze a valley of taif when Prophet Muhammad saws was stoned during his expedition to spread the faith.

"Paradise is where we belong"
O believers remember that whenever we approach prayer we are seeing our Lord. We have to shiver when approaching prayer like Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam. We have to be serious in our prayers. It is not only a routine exercise for asking from Allah swt. It is also a moment of your daily life to fear and cry for his mercy. Do you not ponder when our beloved Prophet said that ‘If you know what I know you will laugh little and cry much. '
The five times prayer is five time opportunities for us to show gratitude and fear towards Allah swt so that we can be forgiven of our sins and gain paradise. Paradise is where we belong.
