A Beautiful Story...

Sultan Murad IV, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623-1640, would often anonymously go into the midst of the people and see their state. One evening, he felt an uneasiness in himself and the urge to go out. He called for his head of security and out they went. They came to a busy vicinity, and found a man lying on the ground. The Sultan prodded him but he was dead and the people were going about their own business. Nobody seemed to care about the dead man lying on the ground.
The Sultan called upon the people. They didn't recognise him and asked him what he wanted. He said, "Why is this man lying dead on the ground and why does no one seem to care? Where is his family?"
They replied, "He is so and so, the drunkard and fornicator!"
The Sultan said, "Is he not from the Ummah of Muhammad (saw)? Now help me carry him to his house."
The people carried the dead man with the Sultan to his house and once they reached, they all left. The Sultan and his assistant remained. When the man's wife saw his dead body, she began weeping. She said to his dead body, "May Allah have mercy on you! O friend of Allah! I bear witness that you are from the pious ones."
The Sultan was bewildered. He said, "How is he from the pious ones when the people say such and such about him? So much so that no one even cared he was dead!"
She replied, "I was expecting that. My husband would go to the tavern every night and buy as much wine as he could. He would then bring it home and pour it all down the drain. He would then say, 'I saved the Muslims a little today.' He would then go to a prostitute, give her some money and tell her to close her door till the morning. He would then return home for a second time and say, 'Today, I saved a young woman and the youth of the believers from vice.'"
The people would see him buying wine and they would see him going to the prostitutes and they would consequently talk about him. One day I said to him, "When you die, there will be no one to bathe you, there will be no one to pray over you and there will be no one to bury you!"
He laughed and replied, "Don't fear, the Sultan of the believers, along with the pious ones shall pray over my body."
The Sultan began to cry. He said, "By Allah! He has said the truth, for I am Sultan Murad. Tomorrow we shall bathe him, pray over him and bury him."
And it so happened that the Sultan, the scholars, the pious people and the masses prayed over him.
We judge people by what we see and what we hear from others. Only if we were to see what was concealed in their hearts, a secret between them and their Lord. If Allah knows, why does it matter who knows and who doesn't know?!
"O you who believe, abstain from many of the suspicions. Some suspicions are sins. And do not be curious (to find out faults of others), and do not backbite one another. Does one of you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful." (49:12)

I'tikaaf

I'TIKAAF

The observation of I'tikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadaan was the continuous practice of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam. The devotion that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam attached to this beautiful Sunnah can be understood by the fact that on the occasion when he missed I'tikaaf due to an expedition, he observed twenty days of I'tikaaf the following year.

Undisturbed seclusion in the Masjid is indeed an excellent way to engage oneself in communication with Allah Ta'ala. Away from the comfort of the home, family members and the daily work routine, I'tikaaf enhances one's proximity to Allah Ta'ala and secures the internal and external purification of the Mu'takif when performed correctly.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam has stated, “Whosoever performs I'tikaaf for a day seeking the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala, Allah Ta'ala will open three trenches between him and the fire of hell, the width of each (trench) being the distance between the heaven and the earth.” (Tabraani)

The Sunnah I'tikaaf in South Africa will commence at sunset on Sunday, 26 June 2016.

Are You A Successful Businesswoman?

Do you have what it takes?

It is narrated in a hadith something to this effect that Nabi (SAW) has said: "Whoever's main worry and preoccupation in life is concerning his hereafter, ALLAH will give him independence from everyone and will gather for him all his affairs (making him focused and content) and dunya (worldly life) will come to him, despite it being reluctant to do so!"

My dear readers, do you realise what a valuable asset you have at your disposal?
Do you recognise how valuable your asset (Imaan/Faith) is? How do you conscientise yourself and others about your most valuable asset (Imaan/Faith)? How do you market your greatest asset?

It is this fuel of Imaan and Faith that will assist you through your daily chores and challenges. It is this fuel of Imaan that will assist you in your journey of life towards your final destination and goal which is Jannah. The best way to conscientise yourself and others about your most valuable asset of Imaan is to acquire the products of exemplary character (Akhlaaq) and acts of worship (Ibadaat). When you are spiritually ill, inject yourself with doses of Imaan/Faith for survival in this world and the hereafter. One of the best ways of marketing your asset of Imaan is by implementing your products of exemplary character and acts of worship which will in turn create a ripple effect on society.

You have to establish and increase exemplary character till you reach a state of ALLAH-consciousness (Taqwa). Ibadaat should not be performed as a ritual but rather to please ALLAH because we OWE our servitude to ALLAH with sincerity and dedication, thereby accumulating our rewards in our banking account in the hereafter.
ALLAH says in the Holy Quraan: Surah 9 (At Taubah), Verse 111:
"Indeed, ALLAH has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise."

Dear readers, in order to protect and preserve your most valuable asset (Imaan) from any harm or theft, from thieves (Shaytaan/Satan, your desires, and the love of the dunya/world) then you need the following three burglar guards:

1st BURGLAR GUARD:
Whatever good deed you do is ONLY for the pleasure of ALLAH! 
For e.g : You serve your husband because you love him FOR THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH!

2nd BUGLAR GUARD:
BELIEVE that whatever good you are doing or did, THE INSPIRATION TO
DO THAT GOOD ONLY CAME FROM ALLAH
E.g : Whatever good you achieve in life, there is nothing to feel proud about, because ALLAH guided you to achieve that goodness! No matter how big or small! A Grain Of Pride Will Not Allow One To Enter Paradise!

3rd BURGLAR GUARD:
My Reward Lies ONLY with ALLAH!
E.g : You made 3kgs of mitai/sweetmeats for your friend’s son’s walimah and NOW at your daughter’s wedding, she simply brings a dozen of cup cakes!        
Yes, you will feel hurt and upset. However, do not allow this hurt to override your TRUST that ALLAH will give you your reward!
Then say to ALLAH, "Oh ALLAH I have done so for Your Pleasure. Remove this hurt, pain from my heart and put your love instead.”

Implement the above burglar guards in your daily life and experience your problems decrease.

As a mother you are the most influential and successful businesswoman naturally....
Your interaction with the people in your home will be a means of dawah/propagation itself. Therefore, start within yourself and your home to "Model with Us on the Ramp to Jannah."
If your business would be open 24 hours a day, SubhanALLAH, How much of barakah/blessings will flow into your home...
The beauty of a businesswoman of the Akhirah is that your shop never closes. Your profits (barakah) always accrue even if you are sleeping!

Let's take the simple example of the acts that precede sleeping. If you sleep with Wudhu, make peace with ALLAH and everyone, you follow the Sunnah way of dusting the bed, use miswaak, recite your duas etc, Your sleep is converted into an act of worship and becomes your investment for the hereafter! SubhanALLAH!

As a businesswoman, you need to weigh your “business transactions” (profit or loss).
Are you taking yourself and others away from the ramp to Jannah or closer to it?
A simple method of balancing your books is by analysis;

Ask yourself the following question:
Is my action presently an investment for Akhirah/Hereafter or not?

So, dear reader, is your shop open only on a Friday between 12-2? Or in Ramadaan? Or on big nights?
I leave you to evaluate, when will you open shop and when will you close?
Is there a closing time?

Ummu-Makki ❤️
