Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
 

Every blessing that human receive comes from Allah s.w.t. This is regardless of whether they believe or disbelieve in Him. Such is the nature of Ar-rahman and Ar-rahim Allah s.w.t. which is bestowed upon his creatures in the world.

Everyone gets the same opportunity of 365 days to do various activities. However, if that period is realized as a great blessing of divine grace, it should be utilized to do as many deeds as possible that can bring reward.

The fact is that not everyone has the opportunity to have the blessing of continuing this life. Some people have died. Some are still alive, but bedridden because of health problems. how precious the blessing of time and the opportunity to utilize time to do many good things.

Therefore, it is advice to take advantage of the blessings of health and free time needs to be given. Many good things can be done if humans are in good health and have free time. Sick people only have limited opportunities to do good. Likewise, people whose lives are busy with various things, including unimportant things. Being busy makes time for good deeds limited.

It is clear that there are two blessings that most people fail to take advantage of. This was stated by the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. in his hadith, which means: "Two blessings that most people are deceived by, namely, health and free time." (Hadith narrated by al-Bukhari)

This hadith reminds us that most people do not take full advantage of these two blessings in life. While still healthy and have free time, many people fail to increase good deeds to gain the pleasure of Allah s.w.t. Usually, people are moved to increase their deeds when they get older.

How many of us go to the mosque when we get older? Although this situation is still worthy of praise, this good deed needs to be started when we are young and healthy. Teenagers who take advantage of their lives by increasing their worship will be included in one of the seven groups of people who will receive Allah's protection in the hereafter.

Likewise, free time must be utilized as much as possible by everyone, especially Muslims. There are people whose lives are always busy with worldly affairs to the point of neglecting religious demands. In fact, if we delay religious affairs such as obligatory prayers without a valid reason, it is a sign of being deceived by the temporary nature of worldly life.

The warning of the Prophet s.a.w. regarding the blessings of health and free time is also stated in a hadith which means: "Seize five things before five things come, namely your youth before you become old, your health before you become sick, your wealth before you become poor, your free time before you become busy and your life before you die." (Hadith narrated by al-Hakim)

See how Allah Almighty has the power to bestow the blessings of health and free time on His servants. How can we be grateful for these two blessings of Allah? Among them is by utilizing those blessings with things that can bring us closer to Him. The blessings of health and free time must be utilized as best as possible by doing good deeds.

May we be among the servants of Allah s.w.t.  who are always grateful for the blessings bestowed upon us and make good use of those blessings. In addition, pray that Allah s.w.t. continues to bestow His blessings upon us and increase them from time to time.

Wallahu a’lam.

Company Updates

Assalamu’alaikum,
 

Alhamdulillah, in July 2025, we were blessed to welcome Dr. Haifaa Younis and Shaykh Omar Suleiman to our shores. You may be wondering — what’s next?

The reality is, we cannot make any announcements until the necessary permits are approved. This is a strict requirement set by the local authorities, and one we must fully comply with.
 

In Singapore, event organisers are required to secure permits for overseas speakers, a process that can take anywhere from three to six months. Without these permits, no form of public promotion is allowed.

And even after this hurdle is cleared, another major challenge awaits — funding.

Bringing in international speakers requires significant resources, and without strong financial backing, it becomes a difficult task for any organiser to make such events possible.

Event organising comes with a multitude of challenges — balancing the needs of speakers, meeting the expectations of partners, engaging the audience, and above all, striving to please Allah SWT.
