O YOU OF LITTLE RESOLVE WHERE DO YOU STAND UPON THIS PATH*

O YOU OF LITTLE RESOLVE WHERE DO YOU STAND UPON THIS PATH* {?}~[PONDER AWHILE]~[QUR`AN+ Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (R)

'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim'.

'As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu'

“ O you of little Resolve...where do you stand upon this path... ?

Adam found it difficult and Nuh lamented because of it ,while Allaah’s Khaleel Ibraheem was thrown into a pit of fire due to it....! Isma’eel was laid upon his side ready to be sacrificed for its sake...! and while upon it Yusuf was sold for a cheap price and then falsely cast into prison for many years...! Zakariyah was sawed in half... !and...Yahya was slaughtered due to it..! Ayyub suffered great distress, while Dawood cried copiously,

and ‘Isaa cured the wretched poor of their diseases and walked with wild beasts due to it .

And how many, how many forms of difficulty and hardship did the Messenger Muhammad (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam)face while proceeding upon it ...!

yet ... you live through Amusements and Distractions... ! ”

' They are those who, if We establish them in the land, establish regular prayer, give regular charity, enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong.

And with Allah rests the outcome of all affairs. [Source~ 'Qur`an' Surat Al-Hajj ~ 22: A # 41 ]

The Prophet [Sal Allâhu `Alayhi Wa Sallam] said...'The example of the one who remembers (glorifies the Praises of his Lord Allâh),

in comparison to the one who does not remember (glorify the Praises of his Lord)...is that of a Living creature compared to a Dead one'
