By Allah I Would Have Performed My Salah…

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Asalaamu Alaaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu

The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said: two favours (of Allah) are forgotten by many people: health and fursat (free time).

This is a true story with pictures.

It may change your life, way of thinking and aims in life. (bi’idnillah)

It is a story of a person from Bahrain named Ibrahim Nasser. He has been paralyzed completely since birth and can only move his head and fingers. Even his breathing is done with the help of instruments.

It was the wish of this young man to meet sheik Nabeel Al-Awdi. So Ibrahim’s father spoke the sheik on the phone in order to arrange a visit to Ibrahim.

This is sheik Nabeel in the airport

Ibrahim was very happy to see sheik Nabeel open the door to his room. We can only see his happiness from his expression as he is unable to speak

The moment sheik Nabeel entered Ibrahim’s room

And this is Ibrahim’s expression on meeting sheik Nabeel

Notice the breathing instrument around Ibrahim’s neck.. he is unable to even breath normally.

And a kiss on the forehead of Ibrahim

Ibrahim with his father, uncle and sheik Nabeel

Thus sheik Nabeel and Ibrahim started talking about da’wa on the internet and the striving it requires.
They also exchanged some stories

And during their conversation sheik Nabeel asked Ibrahim a question. A question that made Ibrahim weep… and tears rolled down Ibrahim’s cheek.

Ibrahim couldn’t help but weep when he remembered some painful memories

Here sheik Nabeel wipes the tears from Ibrahim’s face

Well, do you know what question it was that made Ibrahim weep?

The sheik asked: Oh Ibrahim.. if Allah had given you health.. what would you have done?

And thus Ibrahim wept bitterly and he made the sheik, his father, his uncle and everyone in the room weep.. even the camera man wept.
And his answer was: By Allah I would have performed my salah (prayer) in the masjid with joy.. I would have used the favor of health in everything that would please Allah Subhanehu we Ta’ala.

Dear Brothers and Sisters Allah has favored us with agility and health!

But we do not perform our Salaah in the Masjid!!! And we sit for hours in front of the computer or TV, watching all these un-Islamic films and programs! SubhanAllah

May Allah guide us to the right path, ameen!

Sharing Islam with kindness

Halal in action speaks louder than words.

By the way, some other reports said that store sells some haram stuff. Anyway, the point here is to share the good deed the brother did. May Allah reward him for his good deeds and guide him.

Allah can surprise you…

We’ve received this email today from Sister Saba.

SubhanaAllah, because of one LivingHalal (LH) video she saw on YouTube, she went to LH blog, then from there she found out about HalfDate Web site, then from HalfDate she found about RUSH magazine, and decided to subscribe!

And, by subscribing to the magazine, she helped in a project that prints teachers study guide for children, … and only Allah knows how this chain reaction will end. Hope in Jannah!!!

So, never under estimate your little help.

The moral of the story is that Allah is giving you lots of opportunity to maximize your rewards, such as by:

Giving us your feedback, so we know what went right and what went wrong
Subscribing to a Muslim publication
Being a guest on LivingHalal teleconference series
Spreading posts and videos
Linking to LivingHalal.com
etc. etc.

Oh Masha Allah thats super-awesome!! May Allah reward you all greatly and put barakah in all your efforts.

well I heard about HalfDate from the Living Halal website and I came across the Living Halal website after browsing through some youtube videos and I came across the Practical Advice for Sisters videos and really liked them alot.. and because of that, I checked out the Living Halal website and then it all just went on from there!

And regarding how I heard about RUSH magazine, well it was only once I came on the Sisters Drive page that I checked them out. Before coming across HalfDate.com, I had never even heard about it. But Alhamdulillah now I have.. and I’m really glad that you guys directed me to it.

Jazak Allah khair for all that you guys are doing. Masha Allah keep up the awesome work! Its truly wonderful how we all can make a big difference, just by everyone helping out in any way they can.. whether big or small.

May Allah grant you success in this world and in the next. Ameen

Are you keeping up with your trust?

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: “I will create a vicegerent on earth.” [Quran, Chapter 2: 30]We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it; – he was indeed unjust and foolish; [Quran, Chapter 33: 72]

Our creator has assigned the Amanah (trust) to us to protect it and to be guardians on this earth… Part of our duties is to protect the earth, so what are some of the things that you can do to help protect our planet?

Well, as Muslims, we have to first learn then act.
