Whoever Abandons something for the Sake of Allah

'Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam `ala Rasulillah'.

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

 Whoever Abandons something for the Sake of Allah ,He will replace it for him with something better than it .

So he came out of his room in Al-Azhar to ask for some leftovers of food.He then found an open door from which a pleasant  smell  of food was coming .So he entered the door and found himself in a kitchen with no one around...There he found some tempting food, so he grabbed a spoon and dipped it in, but when he lifted it to his mouth,he held himself back from eating it,

since he realized that he had not been given  permission to eat from it ! So he left it and returned to his room in the dormitory of Al-Azhar, still hungry 

 and starving !But no less than an hour passed by, when one of his teachers, accompanied by another man,  came into his room. And his Teacher said to him...

 ‘This noble man came to me seeking to choose a  righteous  student of knowledge to marry his daughter, and I have chosen you for him ! 

So rise and come with us to his home where we can complete the marriage contract between you   and his daughter and  you  can then become part of his household.’

So Shaikh Ibrahem struggled to get to his feet, obeying the command of his teacher and went with them. And behold they took him to the very same house  he had been to ...{!} 

 and which he had entered and dipped the  spoon into the food {!}  So when he sat down, the girl’s father  married her to him  and the food was brought out.

It was the same food he had put the spoon into   before and which he abandoned...{!} 

 But now he ate from it and said to himself... ‘I withheld from eating it when I had no  permission, but now Allah has given me this food with permission.’

Afterward, this righteous wife went back with him to Hallab, after he had finished his studies. and she bore righteous children for him.”

  So this is the fruit of Patience and the result of having Taqwa !  as Allah {Azza Wa Jall } says ... “And whoever has 'Taqwa' of Allah, He will make a way out for him from hardship)...

 and He will provide for him from places he never imagined.”

[Source~ 'Qur`an'~ Surat At-Talaaq: 65~ A #2- 3]

 But as for those who are hasty, those who do not distinguish between the truth and falsehood, seeking after the transitory vanities of this worldly life ,

they will never experience anything but grief  and sorrow in their hearts, for they will  never attain the worldly life nor will they ever  achieve their right religion.

This is because they forget or perhaps neglect the saying of Allah {Azza Wa Jall}... 

“ Is not Allah Sufficient for His servants ” ? 

[Source~ 'Qur`an'~Surat Az-Zumar~ 39- A# 36]

 As for those who are patient and firm and who have 'Taqwa', they will gain superiority in  this life and glory and honor with their Lord on the Day of Judgement.

And Allah {Azza Wa Jall} says... “So give the glad tidings to the Patient ones.”

[Source: 'Qur`an'~ Surah Al-Baqarah: A# 155] 

  And Allah says... “Verily, the patient ones will be given their reward without any reckoning.” 

 [Source ~ 'Qur`an'~ Surat 'Az-Zumar'~39 A# 10]

"I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground,
 The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind, 
 Qur`an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes!"

In Shaa Allah 'Aameen'

 each day passes then part of you has Gone !
