[Newsletter] 26 March 2019: The Fear Keeps You Awake

[Newsletter] 26 March 2019
 
Assalamualaikum Wr Wb,

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, we ask for your peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW. Thank you for subscribing to our mailing list. In shaa Allah this email finds you and your family in the best of health and imaan. May the peace and blessings of Allah SWT be upon you and your family, in shaa Allah.


 
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ

O you who believed, fear Allah and be with those who are true.
 
Taqwa comes from the word waqa; which means to protect. Or the word (waqayah) which means protection or a shield. 

Now, we are talking about protection; about protecting ourselves, but from what? You may wonder.

Well Sayyidina Umar (RA) when he was asked this question, he gave a very beautiful analogy. A man comes to Sayyidina Umar (RA) and he says:

"Explain to me what Taqwa is."

And do you know what Sayyidina Umar (RA) does not say?

He does not say Taqwa is that you FEAR Allah; He does not say Taqwa means that you're afraid of Allah. Why? Because it does not do justice to the word Taqwa.

Sayyidina Umar (RA) in turn asked this person, he says:
"If you were walking through a thorny path, there's lots of obstacles paths shrubbery bushes all this kind of stuff, and you had a long flowing robe." 

"How would you walk? You have a flowing robe. How would you walk through this thorny path?"


He said: "I would gather my clothes together, I would hold them up and walk very carefully so my clothes don't get caught in the thorns."

He said that is what Taqwa is. Just like with every step this person would be careful; not to have their clothes be destroyed; not to be caught in those thorns;  to be careful with every moment, every step that a person makes.

Likewise Taqwa is to protect ourselves from falling into something that is from the disobedience of Allah SWT.

Taqwa is not about looking islamic. Taqwa is not about sporting a beard or just wearing a hijab.


 
Taqwa is when you miss a prayer, you feel uneasy the whole day.
Taqwa is when you speak a lie, you feel bad.
Taqwa is the guilt that follows when you hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly.
Taqwa is the shame and regret that follows a sin you have committed knowing full well how it stands in the sight of Allah.
Taqwa is when you cannot sleep after disobeying or disrespecting your parents.



 
Taqwa is to cry in the depths of night fearing none but the one above the Arsh.
Is the fear that refrains us from sinning when nobody is looking.
Taqwa is the guts and the will to please Allah, even when the whole world is held bent on displeasing Him.
Taqwa is to wear that beard and hijab for the sole purpose and reason of pleasing our Creator.



 
Taqwa is to stay happy and smiling, even after knowing that this world is a prison for believers. 
Taqwa is the good manners & character we practice for the sake of Allah.
Taqwa is the struggle to better ourselves according to Islam, with each passing day.




 
Taqwa is not just about rising in deen, but about falling, rising again and never letting go!
Taqwa is all about what lies in our hearts.

 

And if our hearts are filled with proper Taqwa, then actions automatically follow, and the sweetness of these actions is so fulfilling.
 
 


Preparing for the End

 
"Our dad have nominated his CPF to you and you should share it with the rest of us, don't be greedy"

"He leaves behind a house, and $500,000 for you however only the money will be distributed equally among all."

" For your information: your father has gifted(hibah) the house to your adopted sister as she was the one who have been taking care of him for the past 10 years."

" You should sell the house so the money we can share together, and it is not fair when you are not even his biological daughter....."


 
Let's be frank, for each of the scenarios above, people have written essays about it and let's not talk about the countless reports in the news. Some filmmakers have even been inspired by the stories which have been developed into films or dramas.

Can you picture the dramas and disputes your family will go through? How family relationship can be torn apart just because of wealth?

Don't wait till trouble comes. Manage and find the  solutions. And do you know how?

Let this workshop helps you prepare; with our amazing speakers.
