I ask You by every name belonging to You which You name Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.’<br /><br /><br /><br />Supplication for one whose affairs have become difficult:<br /><br />‘O Allaah, there is no ease except in that which You have made easy, and You make difficulty, if You wish, easy.’<br /><br /><br /><br />Supplication when stricken with a mishap or overtaken by an affair:<br /><br />‘The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allaah, than the weak believer and there is goodness in both. Strive for that which will benefit you, seek help from Allaah and do not despair. If a mishap should happen to befall you then do not say ‘ If only I had acted….such and such would have happened’. Rather say: <br />‘Allaah has decreed and what He wills, He does’. <br />… for verify ‘If’ lets in the work of the devil.’ urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:spadina:13723 2007-02-12T05:24:52Z 2007-02-12T05:24:52Z when we have hard times, we must remember that there is always a reason for it to happen:<br /><br />Allah's Apostle (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said, "If Allah wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with trials."<br /> <br />Narrated by AbuHurayrah ); Sahih Bukhari transmitted it.

The key is patients and trust in Allah(SWT). This is just a friendly reminder for everyone, but also myself.<br /><br />Some Ansari persons asked for (something) from Allah's Apostle (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) and he gave them. They again asked him for (something) and he again gave them. And then they asked him and he gave them again till all that was with him finished. And then he (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said "If I had anything, I would not keep it away from you. (Remember,) whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented, and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience." <br />Narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri (Razi Allah Ta'lah Anhu); Sahih Bukhari transmitted it. Vol 2:#548 of Sahih Bukhari.<br /> <br /><br />Allah's Apostle (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said: "Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shown resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him in it". <br />Narrated by Suhaib ibn Sinan ar-Rumi (Razi Allah Ta'lah Anhu); Muslim transmitted it.

The less learned, like <br />children, collect pebbles and shells from its shores. The scholars <br />and thinkers, like pearl divers, bring out from it the highest <br />philosophy, wisdom and rules of a perfect way of living.<br /><br />I wonder what would happen if I treated the Qur'an like I treat my cell phone?<br /><br />What if I carried it around in my purses for pocket?<br /><br />What if I turned back to go get it if I forgot it?<br /><br />What if I flipped through it several times a day?<br /><br />What if I used it to receive messages from the text?<br /><br />What if I treated it like I couldn't live without it?<br /><br />What if I gave it to my child as a gift?<br /><br />What if I used it as I travelled?<br /><br />What if I used it in case of an emergency?<br /><br />What if I upgraded it to get the latest edition?<br /><br />This is something to make me think ... hmmm .... where is my <br />Qur'an?<br /><br />Oh, and one more thing. Unlike my cell phone, I don't ever have to worry about the Holy book being disconnected because Allah has already paid the bill.<br /><br />To Allah we belong and unto Him is our return. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:spadina:789 2004-03-11T00:45:36Z 2004-03-11T00:45:36Z Ok...what the hell is wrong with brothers?? are they like out to get their sisters?? i honestly think mine is... he is trying to KILL me!! and i HATE HIM SO MUCH!!! what the hell..i mean... yes, he is my brother, therefore i have to live with him, but who says i have to be nice??
