To do or not to do?
- Wa alaikum assalam! Allah loves us to do what we can do, not more! We must not kill ourselves to do something!
- Sure! But let me ask you this: how do you know how much you can or cannot if you don't try and never look to be better than before, better than yesterday? Ihsan its an Islamic concept, very important. Too bad that we fiind so hard to apply it in ourselfs. And I will remind you and refresh your memory with the commentary of Imam Nawawi about this concept of Islam:
,,Ihsan is a comprehensive concept. It denotes doing things completely, nicely and in a tasteful manner. It comprises four components:
1. Sincerity (Ikhlas)
2. Completeness
3. Tastefulness (doing things in a nice manner), and
4. Correctness (doing things in the right way).
This concept is translated by commentators and interpreters as Excellence. Being a comprehensive concept, the term Ihsan cannot be translated word for word because there is no word in the English language that gives its exact meaning. Therefore, it is better to use it as it is.Islam commands Muslims to practice and apply Ihsan in all that they do - hence it is an obligation (wajib).
It has been mentioned in the Qur'an as well. Allah the Almighty says:
"Verily, Allah enjoins Justice, and Ihsan and giving help to kith and kin,..."
[Surah Al-Nahl (16 ): ayat 90]
In Surah Al-Mulk (67), ayat 2 this concept is mentioned as one of two main purposes of human creation, Allah the Almighty says: "The One Who created death and life so that He may test you which of you is best of conduct."By living according to the concept of Ihsan and by applying it to all that a Muslim does, he/she will be rewarded and showered with mercy and forgiveness from Allah the Almighty. Furthermore, by doing that, a Muslim will ensure that he/she will pass the test and be amongst those of the best conduct. [Muslim]

Terror – fear
,,On the night between 7 and 8 May, 2009, into a small vilage named 1December, county Ilfov, a young woman A.M, pregnant in 6 months, was beaten with an iron crowbar by two Christians. She is alive and her child also, by Allah's power and will. Allahu Akbar and Alhamdulillah! The woman was the victime just becose she is wife of a Muslim and have money. "
When I have read this news this morning I felt so sick, so sad and I could felt all the pain that that innocent women and her unborn child had to endure. It didn't astonish me the fact that God saved her and her child also, but I was terrified what extreem can reach a human when he let himself lead and ride by evil and devil and all it is sinful. Who is the terrorist?
Wake up people! Please! I have a message for all of you! I will not call you Christians, Muslims or Jewishs, but I do have a name for all of you and that name is HUMAN. Wake up humans! Look in the mirror and go back to begin, when all started with just two words: Be it! And it was the human, Adam. Who do you think you are? The masters of yourselves? Think twice human, cause I have news for you: you're not. God is the only one Master.
It is so hard for you to be Muslim? Then at least remain human. I will ask God to bless and guide and love all the humans,because the return of all of us is unto Him. Stand up human whoever you are and pray to the One whom you owed what you are. Nobody asks you anything than just to be human.

I am not alone
Today I had a nice and interesting conversation with someone, about my life after converting to Islam religion. When I said that in my city there aren't Muslims and that nobody from my family is Muslim, except two of my children that person express his concern about me being or feeling alone here, between Christians.
I said to him that I'm not alone at all. My heart is Allah's house now and is a heart full of love for Him and all He has created. How can I feel alone? I have people around me, bad or good it doesn't matter, they are Allah's creations and I am not alone at all. I am surrounded by life, then I am not alone. I have my children who are part of me, then I am not alone. If by miracle of Allah I will end up on the Moon, I will not feel alone, because it is again Allah's creation and how can I feel alone then? Even if I would floating in the space, still will not feel alone, cause it is Allah's universe.
I am not alone mean while I have faith in Allah and my hope will never die thanks to this. I am no longer a heart without sound. I am no longer a soul without wings and my mind isn't prisonier of doubt anymore, cause now I am sparkling in the light and I'll intend to remain like this till the end of this life, Inshallah.
,, 2:257 God is near unto those who have faith, taking them out of deep darkness into the light - whereas near unto those who are bent on denying the truth are the powers of evil that take them out of the light into darkness deep: it is they who are destined for the fire, therein to abide." Noble Quran
,, 7:54 VERILY, your Sustainer is God, who has created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is established on the throne of His almightiness. He covers the day with the night in swift pursuit, with the sun and the moon and the stars subservient to His command: oh, verily, His is all creation and all command. Hallowed is God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!" Noble Quran

Ray of Light
I am an adult, a mature person who grew up and grew old in the rhythm of the life that Allah Almighty recorded for me, like for the entire humanity, till the end of times. I used to miss the point of being a human, a creation, forgetting sometimes that Allah made me for the only purpose to worship Him. I was a teenager and even if it is not an excuse, actually because of the immaturity of that age I made my own wrong choices and neglect what is most important, to pray. But Allah showed me so many times why I must believe and trust Him
One day I was with one of my friends in Syria, to Al-Masjid, for praying al-fajr pray and outside it was a raining and so cold day. We were children and went down to play. There was a well in which we always find water for drink or ablution. Beside the well was a cat and when we came running the cat got scared and fell down inside the well. We both knew me and my friend that if the cat dies inside the well, water will never be good not for drink nor for ablution. Thinking and realizing the potential damage we start to look for something so we can pull out the cat from the well before dies. I found a telephone wire and I throw it inside the water of the well even if I knew that is useless, because the cat isn't smart enough to grab the wire or to use it in any way. But something pushed me to do it because I felt responsible indirectly because of what happened and might follow. I said to my friend:
- Let us throw this wire inside the well and may Allah help us to take the cat out from there!
What happen was strange for us, Subhana Allah. I felt the wire is heavy and I took it out. The wire was tied around the cat like invisible hands just did it. We saved the cat and the well remained pure. We run to the sheik to tell him all what happen. He wasn't astonished and he said to us:
- Allah the Almighty is able to do all things!
This day for you dear readers might be just a strange story, probably most of you be tempted to not believe it, but for me was a memorable day. Why? Just because thanks to the Grace of Allah I realized that when I miss or forget to pray I actually miss the most beautiful part of the prayer's meaning, which is to be in contact with the Sublime Creator, Allah. It was like I could touch one ray of light with just one finger.

Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy, by definition, means being less critical of oneself than of others. I will add more, because to be hipocrit means also to pretend to be something that you're not by projecting and promoting a false image of yourself in front of the others, when in reality you are exactly the opposite. Hipocrisy it's a nasty face of the humans and always will start from falshood and finishing in falsity, with no doubt.
The most common example of hipocrisy it's of advicing someone else to do something or to not do something, because you have knowledge that it is wrong or right, but you do not follow it same rule or apply that knowledge unto yourself.
It's like I would come to you my dear reader to advice you to stop smoking, cause I know from doctors and books and my experience that it is not healthy, but mean while I am keep explaining to you this, I enjoy a Dunhill cigarrete and intoxicate you with its smoke, and I have an innocent smile on my face. You caughing, you almost cry because of the smoke, but I keep telling you how bad it is to smoke.
Did you get the picture, my dear reader, of so many doctors who spoke everywhere and make campaign agaisnt smoking, or the parents who advice their children to not smoke, but they smoke like nothing could stop them doing it. Well, if we don't apply what we learn, what we gain from knowledge how could we think about to have credibility in front of the others. We must try to be a good accounter to our own faults and mistakes before trying to advice or correct the others.
The Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam said so clear all that I mention above in his saying from below:
,,The propet said, Whoever has the following four characteristics will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.
Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner." Shahi Bukhari, Book 2, Belief, hadith 033, narrated by Abdullah bin "Amr.
The Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, gives us through this hadith four signs not only to describe the hypocrisy, but also to help us to recognize it in us and others. We always must start with ourselves when it comes about trying to correct the bad and to push the good until we achieve excellence (ihsan) in manners and behaviour. Each Muslim has the duty to advice the other, like the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, say in other of his hadiths:
,,A believer is a mirror to another believer….." But this means also to look for the fault or error and correct it in us, before advice the other. If we don't look for achieve ihsan in us, we will indulge and fall in superficiality and our iman will be weak till inexistence. by Rahmah

Story about new Muslim
from Sheik Mohammed Hassan
The location of the character that will be subject of the story that me, Yassin, I have heard it from Sheik Mohammed, is America, USA specifically. I will relate the story using my own words with the risk that I might not be too talented like Sheik Mohammed, but enough honest to not relates lies or invents.
This young man who is the main character of the story was a Christian. The whole story its concentrated on the day when he was looking and asking in the left and the right ardent to find a mosque. People were looking at him and think that he might be sick or in some urgent spiritual needs because his whole face was transfigured and his eyes seems to be drowned emotionally. The young man find what he was looking for after a while because some people guided him to the nearest mosque in the neighborhood.
In front of the main gate of the mosque, the young man took a deep breathe, and raised his eyes to the sky. People who passed beside him could saw in his eyes water and light, the mixture of deep faith towards the Creator, God. He raised his hands to the sky and his lips just whisper ,,thank you God". After that he entered with his heart full of happiness inside of the mosque. Some people gathered there and waiting to start soon to pray show him the man that was the sheik on that mosque, an imam. The young walked in his direction with the heart beating strongly in the chest, full of hope.
- Peace be upon you! How I can help you young man? said the imam.
- I want to know what I have to do to become a Muslim, cause I believe in Muhammad and that he is the Last Messenger of God for people!
The imam was taken by surprise because he never expected to such direct approach. Looking in the eyes of the man and seeing the tears trembling he knew that it wasn't about a joke or just a wandering.
- Please calm down and tell me why do you want to become Muslim?
- Please! I am pleasing you to tell me what I have to do! I just want to become Muslim! I have to become Muslim! I have to!
The imam knew that the young man was serious and he was guided, otherwise he would not have been so emotional and anxious to change his religion. He took him to perform abolition (wudu) and after that he was witness to the testimony (the shahadah), of him, in front of Allah, inside of the house of Allah. The young man said the few words of the shahadah with the heart trembling but sure about what was doing: ,,La ilaha ilallaah, Mohammed wa Rasoul Allah!" which means ,,I bear witness that there is no god than Allah and Mohammed is His Messenger!". This was the first Pillar and after that the young man just came daily to pray. He used to stay for hours and just pray. All the Muslims who were frequent that mosque were very surprise, because it was easy to notice how pious the young and so deep concentrated on his prayers was. Without hearing his words you could easy feel his totally devotion to his Creator, Allah.
The imam was also very impressed so after few days he went to him and asked him again to tell him the reason for his conversion to Islam religion, from the Christianity religion.
- For four years I asked God to show me or to tell me somehow which is the real religion and after so long time Jesus came to me in my dream and told me if I want the true religion to just believe that Muhammad is the Last Messenger and Prophet of God and to become Muslim. And this is what I have done, when I came to you the other days!
The imam cried and congratulated the young man.
- I am so happy for you! May Allah bless you and open peace on you!
Later, after days of prayers, one evening, the young man lay in front to make sejood, to prostrate. His front touched the ground but never lift up again. After the Muslims from mosque finished the pray went to him worried to see why he is not moving anymore. They find him dead. Allahu Akbar!

Cradle of Islam
Did you ever sleep in the arms of an angel? I do sleep like that every night after I make my night pray, Al-Isha. When I hold my hands drafted on chest I hold my heart in it and when I lift my hands to the sky I give it to Allah in the honest submission, cause to Him belongs. That's my mute Dua about which I don't have to say any words, because Allah knows what's inside of my heart.
I sleep inside of the house of faith cause that what my heart it is, the house of Allah, cause I love Allah. I always wake up safe and happy, because I never sleep before put my heart in Allah's trust and accepting whatever will send next day for me.
When I close my eyes I wish to wake up more rich in faith and when I open it next day I wish to be richer in good deeds. This is my way to feel safe. I have the most beautiful angel to sleep in its arms and that's Islam.

Hate is anger on edge
Evil has many shapes, many tools, but only one color and thats black. When I say black I dont actually mean the black, but what really involves the color and Im talking about all that is with the minus sign in front, all is negative. There are pairs in everything like also everything has an opposite. For love the opposite is hate.
Hate is the index of the evil, Satan. Satan loves himself only and hates all. All Satan do is from hate, with hate and cant generate anything than just hate. Anger is the gate for hate and the key is anger itself generated by fear. When you are afraid of many things and you dont trust God you make weak your faith day by day with each drop of anger.
Anger on edge is the one which open the gate for the monkeys and when the monkeys comes nothing can have logics, everything is not right and all you can see in front of you is black.
Somebody, with high wisdom invested with it by God the Almighty, said:
Advise me! "The Prophet said, "Do not become angry and furious." The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet said in each case, "Do not become angry and furious.
[Al-Bukhari; Vol. 8 No. 137]
I am talking about the Last Messenger of God for mankind which is Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam left to the humanity the best guide for being righteous and who can't see this reality is only because he doesn't want to be righteous. Read his words my dear reader and you will understand once for all that he always spoke only the truth and may God love him, bless him and open peace on him.
Nobody should ever know how it is to hate. Alhamdulillah that I don't know!

Advise me! "The Prophet said, "Do not become angry and furious." The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet said in each case, "Do not become angry and furious.
[Al-Bukhari; Vol. 8 No. 137]
I am talking about the Last Messenger of God for mankind which is Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam left to the humanity the best guide for being righteous and who can't see this reality is only because he doesn't want to be righteous. Read his words my dear reader and you will understand once for all that he always spoke only the truth and may God love him, bless him and open peace on him.
Nobody should ever know how it is to hate. Alhamdulillah that I don't know!

The public eye
One day I watched an interview on TV, of a young mother, around 25 years old, who is earning her money by video-chat. I usually don't pay attention to these kinds of shows, but some of her words captivated my attention. She said that her husband died on car accident leaving her alone with a small child. She tried to find a job, but the absence of a diploma prevented her to find a good job. Being in some kind of financial crisis she choose this way of earning money. The reporter, also a young woman asked her how she feels about what she is doing. Her answer shocked me. She said:
- I discovered my self! Video-chat helped me to discover my self, to love my body and to feel happy!
I couldn't believe what she's saying and really didn't understand her, but felt sad for her and her girl also because she choose to do this for having money. Later, after she start to talk about her little girl suddenly she start to cry, when the reporter asked her who is taking care of her girl mean while she is working.
She discovered herself, for sure. That was the real problem and also the reason of her tears. She knew what she's doing and what she became and did not like it at all. To feel happy, no chance.
,,Righteousness is good character, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and which you do not want people to know about!" This is nothing else than a hadith of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Can you, my dear reader tell me if he is not right in this hadith?
Inshallah Allah will make a miracle for this woman and will give her a fortune, so she might stop decrease in the eyes of her innocent child and to really love herself by being pure and righteous. by Rahmah

The Best Brother
Al-Nawwas bin Sam'an, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:
"Righteousness is good character, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and which you do not want people to know about."
You said you can't teach me Islam because you are bad in English. It's so not true at all Mohamed. When you choose the name Nour for me you sent me to the Quran again, cause I wanted to look for answers, even if I have read Quran you made me go back to that surah and to find many answers. So you made me learn in this way. You teach me ,,sabr"- patience. Isn't this Islam? If you would be mute, you think you could not teach me Islam? If you would not have even hands to use signs language, you think you could not teach me Islam? If you would not have legs, you again think couldn't teach me Islam? Or blind, or deaf, or all of these? You think again that you couldn't teach me Islam? You can teach me Islam in the best way. How? Just being righteous. The power of example is the best way to teach someone anything you might wanna teach him. Allah blesses you million times. Allah loves ,,As-Sabirin", so I will ask Allah to love you always, my dear best brother, Mohamed.
46. And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).Surah 8: Al-Anfal
21. O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahsha' [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.)], and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam, etc.)]. And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. Surah 24: An-Nour, Holy Quran
We have to look for each other all the time and try to advice with one another and urge the other to do only good deeds and to talk nice and calm, to think positive always and to try to reach wisdom. We must have alive inside our mind that the little one always can teach us something and don't disregard him and to never look with envy towards the one who has much more knowledge than us and to try to reach his level or even be better than him. This means to be a good brother and the one, who always will wish for me the best from the best, will be the best brother. Like Allah, Subhana wa ta'ala says in the above verse from Surah An-Nour, we must not follow Satan footsteps and try always to remain pure and far from what is not pure. Following the Good, cause it's Allah. Following Allah's path and we'll be safe always! by Rahmah

Deal or not deal
Today, thanks to a wonderful person I could buy a beautiful veil for my self, o white one. I was dreaming for this for long time, so as you can easy imagine my dear reader I did not wait a second more and run to buy it. I had to deal with 2 Christians women, for the same thing. I will let you know what happen and you to come and tell me what do you think. In the shop from where I bought the material was also the facility to border the veil so I asked that woman how much will cost me to border my veil. Before tell me the price, because I was Muslim she made three times the sing of the cross, like any Christian and said to me:
- God protect us and I hope we will have more clients cause lady you are the first on this week!
- Inshallah! I said only and she continues:
- Ohh! The price for border is 3 dollars!
I said that the price is almost like I paid for material, which cost me 5 dollars and the border will be made it with a machine, not hand working and I went away. I enter later in other shop and there I found another Christian woman. When she understood what I want she accepted and said that will cost me 1 dollar. Because she rushed to border my veil and she made it beautiful and fast I wanted to give it to her more than she asked me, but look what she replied to me:
- No! One dollar is enough and if you want to give me more then ask God to give me healthy and whenever you need to adjust or border something, I am here!
I noticed that she even forgot even didn't want to make the sign of cross and I smiled back to her tired smile. I will pray for both women, cause I wish the best for both of them, regardless what's their belief or religion, inshallah! Does religion make me a better person? It is not about religion in general, but it is about the soul and the real faith in God. Cause if you say I believe but mean while you're not conscious of God's existence you will be so easy a subject for corruption.
Allah's Messenger said to him, "Fear Allah wherever you are; if you follow an evil deed with a good one you will obliterate it; and deal with people with a good disposition." Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darimi. by Rahmah

Faith beyond the words
Brocken mirror
,,We are humans before being Muslims. Allah gives us the smile and the cry since we still growing in the wombs of our mothers, cause that's how Allah made everything from nothing to everything. We must be little so we can grow. That's the law of Allah and none can dispute it. The smile is the reflection of Allah's love for the human and the cry is the reflection of Allah's mercy for the human. Everything started from Him, so obviously to Him all will return. Allah created a beautiful world for the human, but same time Satan has free-hand to weave a cobweb around us. He is active, never sleeps. It is enough one whisper so we can fall into any sinfull act, thought or saying, when we are vulnerable. And we are all the time, that's why the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa salam taught us to look up to each other and to care about each other and to love each other. And also if we see something wrong at our brothers we must correct it in ihsan, cause Islam means excellence from the Magnificent, Allah, the One who decreed it the true religion. Who helps you to fall into errors, sins or misleads you is not your brother or your sister. He is your brocken mirror, which basically means good for nothing.
Everything starts with love and obviously the message for us is that everything will also end up with love: love for Allah, love for all Allah loves.
Abu Hamzah Anas bin Malik, radiyallahu 'anhu, who was the servant of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, reported that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:
"None of you truly believes (in Allah and in His religion) until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself"
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say:
"When any one of you sees anything that is disapproved (of by Allah), let him change it with his hand. If he is not able to do so, then let him change it with his tongue. And if he is not able to do so, then let him change it with his heart, though that is the weakest (kind of) faith."

The Absolute Truth – Allah - الحق
The human brain is one of the miracles that Allah created in the human being’s body. The brain it’s alive and dies if we do not use it. Anything alive dies if it doesn’t receive the proper food. Any part of the human body dies if we do not use it for its purpose and if we do not feed it in halal.The human brain needs oxygen trough the blood to be alive and informations to develop and grow.
Why and for what Allah gave us a brain?-For assimilate knowledge and to use it. The human brain it’s like a sponge, which developes and grows by absorbing knowledge. This is nothing new for the humans of our days, because the scientists already discovered and proved this fact.
If we stop thinking we will stop understanding and if we stop understanding we will lose the sense of reality. This is the path to insanity.
Do you think my dear reader that Allah who knows everything, just accidentely says in the Holy Quran that we must always seek for knowledge, like in the following verses:
28:51 NOW, INDEED, We have caused this word [of Ours] to reach mankind step by step, so that they might [learn to] keep it in mind.
59:21 HAD WE bestowed this Qur’an from on high upon a mountain, thou wouldst indeed see it humbling itself, breaking asunder for awe of God. And [all] such parables We propound unto men, so that they might [learn to] think.
Nothing is accidentall or randomly in the creations of Allah and He is the only One who can creat anything. All that Allah forbidded it is definetevely for our best and all what Allah ordered or prescribed for us it is for our best, because Allah knows and we know not. Why should be hard to follow and submit to Allah?

Knowing me knowing you
We meet people and usually if we are feeling attracted to them we want to know them better. How we really succeed to know someone? In the most natural ways such as talking, watching the gestures, the behavior in any situation, looking in their eyes, following the other’s thoughts, the way of thinking, paying attention to actions and reactions, observing the moods in different moments, etc.
Once we get to know someone we also begin to understand the other better sometimes than ourselves. Knowing and understanding the other makes us having expectations from the other one. Having expectations, which means that we wait the other to act or react in a certain way according to our knowledge of his character, can bring dissapointments. Why? Simply because any moment everything can change, so people also can change in function of this. We like to think that we don’t change, but even if we don’t want, if it is Allah’s will, then our willing is powerless.
People really can change, but the real change comes from inside and shows outside. The innerself cannot be hidded. When someone changes for true, the other’s perception changes also. This is the moment when we can become an example for follow it, because humans always will follow examples, models and always the strongest one. And also this is the moment when we should care about what kind of models we become, cause if we can change we must change in good. If we want to change something in us must be only what is bad or wrong. Being a good model comes with the charge of responsibility of staying like that, because nobody likes to be a disappointment to anyone, but especially to Allah.
Allah is the Owner of our lives and to Him we not only submit but also give the praise and thanks. We should care about how we are because in function of this Allah loves us, rewards us, forgives us and saves us from Hell.
Knowing me, knowing you, understanding ourselves, the others, life and everything, will lead us to be able to change what is not good in us. This is very important, because at the end of the road of this life something is waiting for us and that’s death. Death is the ,,sleep” between two lives, this life and the Hereafter.
Change yourself in the right way and when you will wake up from the sleep of death, you will be in Paradise between the succesfulls.

Be on the good side of your soul!
Did you ever looked in the mirror after you have been committed a sin? Or after you have offended someone? Or after you have hurted someone? Or after you have humiliated someone? You should do it! Perhaps you will see what Allah sees in you. Prohpet Muhammad (sallallhu alayhi wasallam) said in a famous hadith this: ,,Good character is half of faith”. But he also said that ,,Piety and righteousness is being of good character.”-recorded by Imam Muslim; or ,,The believer with the most complete faith is the one with the best behavior.”-recorded by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud; and ,,There is nothing heavier in the scales than good character.”-recorded by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud. Allah has created us with a pure innate or natural disposition that is called fitra, as mentioned in other hadiths. This means to love the truth and the good and to hate falsehood and evil. Consequently, good believers with pure fitra should never confuse truth with falsehood. However, being blessed with native inclination towards these values, truth and goodness means that Allah loves us like that and not otherwise. We must keep this alive in our minds and to try all the time to be in the good side of our souls. If this means to change something in us than we must do it. Being in the good side of your soul means to be able to distinct the bad from the good, the truth from the falshood and the beauty from uglyness and to change only what Allah dislikes and forbids.
When you look in the mirror and you see yourself, if your heart is content and in tranquility then you are on the good side of your soul. Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that good character is half of faith and to have good character you must keep alive the values of fitra and abstain from sins and bad deeds. Religion means worship but means also obedience to Allah Alone. Allah wa ta’ala say in the Holy Quran:
,, Surely the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allâh only. And those who take Auliyâ’ (protectors, helpers, lords, gods) besides Him (say): "We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allâh." Verily Allâh will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allâh guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever.” Quran 39:3
Start your days always with a smile, propose yourself to do only good deeds and be on the good side of your soul till the night will fall. Remember to supplicate Allah before close your eyes, to be sure that you will be safe till the ,,next time”, inshaAllah.
