Quote of the day!

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh!

I pray you're all in the best of health & Imaan, Insha'Allah.

So I haven't updated this in a while, & after speaking to my cousin today, I realised... It's time! & what better way to do it but with a new Quote of the day! (My favourite blog posts!)

‎"They call it 'Hip-Hop'..Yeah, they will be HIP'IN & HOP'IN & SNAP, CRACKLE N POPPIN... In the hellfire" - Khalid Yasin.

Could it be put any better than this? Nuh uh.

This however doesn't only apply to Hip Hop of course. It applies to all songs be it rap, r'n'b, pop or hip hop etc. Whether or not music is allowed in Islam is a topic of debate. & no by this I don't mean whether or not r'n'b & hip hop is allowed, 'cos that is not allowed! I mean 'Nasheeds' that have instruments like the piano etc. Some say it's fine as long as you are not leading people to be disobedient to Allah (SWT) & some say it's not permissable at all. I have to do some more research into this! Insha'Allah.

Much love for the sake of Allah!

Quote of the day!

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh!

My made up quote of the day is:

If you believe & rely in Allah alone, then hakuna matata. <3

Today's quote of the day was inspired by a fellow facebooker. Having watched the Lion King many years ago, I can hardly remember most of it. I remember the general jist of the film, & one song in particular... Hakuna Matata. I remember the song because even before I'd watched it, I remember singing it 'cos all the kids in school were. So as I was saying, it was inspired by a fellow facebooker after I saw in her quotations the words 'Hakuna matata'. It inspired me to actually go & have a look at the origin of the word & what it actually meant. All this time I just thought it was a made up word, but in fact, nope, it's real! It's Swahili for 'There are no worries'. So translated, my quote of the day is: If you believe & rely in Allah alone, then there are no worries!

My dad once said to me, 'however much trust and reliance you put in Allah, that's how much the Almighty will give back to you. If you have no trust in what Allah can do for you, then you'll get nothing. But if you put all your trust in Him then He'll sort out everything (which is beneficial) for you'. Wise words.

"And put your trust in Allah, and Allah is Sufficient as a Disposer of Affairs." (39:62)

Need I say more? =)

Quote of the day!

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Was Barakatuh!

First of all would just like to start off with... What a sick day, best day evvver!! (Alhamdulillah.)

Ok now that, that's over, I'd like to share something I came across today in my favouritest Islamic magazine: Al-Mumin. (You can get info on how to subscribe to it here).

Someone was told: "So-and-so has gossiped about you" - so he sent him a dish of dates, with the message: "I heard that you had given me your Hasanat (rewards) as a gift, and I want to return the favour; please excuse me for not being able to pay back in full."

Anyway the main point here is of course, if you backbite on the Day of Judgement whoever you have backbited about has the power to take as much of your good deeds as he or she wishes & you will be left with nada, nothing, zilch, diddly squat.

So let's try and keep our tongues from wagging eh? (Insha'Allah). If you are hurt by a friend or family member etc. either go tell them, or tell Allah allll about it. Just don't tell someone else who may happen to know the person, therefore making them think badly of the other person. & we have all (well maybe not all but majority) backbited at one point so let's ask for forgiveness & try not to do it again, Insha'Allah.  =)

If the answer's 'yes' you're just dodgy mate. Seriously go get yourself checked out. Your parents should be ashamed... What a disgrace.
