Words of Wisdom
Alhamdulilah, we have just experienced the best days of the year and many people have performed Hajj. We are grateful to Allah swt for allowing us to have these experiences, and we ask Allah swt to accept from us all. The ayah and the hadeeth of the week speak about the importance of gratitude. If we are grateful, Allah swt will increase us in the blessings He has bestowed upon us. But, if we are ungrateful or arrogant, remember, the One who has given us can also take things away from us. The hadeeth shows us that we need Allah's help to be grateful. The Prophet taught Muadh , this beautiful dua that we should all try and memorize and read after every Fard prayer. May Allah give us all the ability to be grateful.
Hadeeth of the Day
'Mu'adh (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah () took hold of my hand and said, "O Mu'adh! By Allah, I love you, so I advise you to never forget to recite after every prayer: "Allahumma a'inni ala dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni 'ibadatika (O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner)."
[Abu Dawud]
