canada day

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Asalam alaikum wa Rahmatullah

Alhamdulillah after two cups of coffee and many hours of preparation with the help of ALLAH subhana wa Ta'ala I finished my projects and midterm - now just waiting for the next round of final projects/exams :)

Today was a cloudy canada day, raining a little here and there. Tomorrow work and then alhamdulillah the weekend, and hopefully some time to relax a bit.

I love reading this little book called "More than 1000 Sunan Every Day & Night" and wanted to just share a section from the authors introduction:

It is interesting to note that if one of us lost some money, how concerned and worried we would be and how much effort we would exert in trying to find it. But how many sunan have we lost in our lives? Does this sadden us? Have we strived to revive them in our lives?

One of the problems we suffer from is that we have begun to value and admire the deenar and dirham more than the sunnah. If people were told that whoever observed a sunnah from the sunan of the Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa salam) would recieve a certain amount of money, then you would certainly find them wanting to and striving to observe the sunnah in all of their affairs, from morning to evening.

Why? Only because they would gain some money for every sunnah practised. How will this wealth benefit us when we are placed in our graves and the earth's dust is poured on us?"

The translator also wrote in his introduction a quote from Imam Maalik who said that "The Sunnah is like the Ark of Noah - whoever embarks on it reaches salvation and whoever refuses is drowned." May Allah increase us in our practice and revival of the sunnah in our daily lives ameen.
