Green Bird
~ Their souls are in the crops of green birds, which have lamps hanging from the Throne, and they roam freely wherever they want in Paradise, then they return to those lamps. Their Lord looked down upon them and said: ‘Do you desire anything?’ They said: ‘What could we desire, when we can roam freely wherever we want in Paradise?’... ~

Except Allaah swt ..
A mother never wishes to see the day that her children leaves this world before her. She wants to be the one to leave first. And that was her wish. And her wish was granted. 7 years ago..
May Allaah bless her soul, aameen!
May Allaah bless her soul, aameen!
Either a child loses a mother, or the mother loses the child..
Either a wife loses a husband, or the husband loses the wife..
Either a sister loses a brother, or the brother loses the sister..
Someone Always Leaves Before You.. OR You Will Leave Before Them.. OR just maybe, Together..
But the Question is, Are You Ready?

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (RadiAllahu 'Anhu) said........
◕ I looked at all friends, and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue.
◕ I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety.
◕ I thought about all types of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little.
◕ I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice.
◕ I looked at all types of sustenance, but did not find a better sustenance than patience.

An Ayah that is better than a thousand Ayat
Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to recite Al-Musabbihat before he went to sleep, saying In them there is an Ayah that is better than a thousand Ayat.
[Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i collected this Hadith.]
He is Al-Awwal and Al-Akhir, Az-Zahir and Al-Bat in. And He is the All-Knower of everything
[ Quran 57:3 ]
He then said to me, `When you feel any of this in your heart, recite, (He is Al-Awwal and Al-Akhir, Az-Zahir and Al-Bat in. And He is the All-Knower of everything. )
Al-Bukhari said, "Yahya said,` Az-Zahir: knowing all things, Al-Bat in: knowing all things'
Our Shaykh Al-Haf iz Al-Mizzi said, "Yahya is Ibn Ziyad Al-Farra', who authored a book entitled Ma`ani Al-Qur'an."
There are Hadiths mentioned about this. Among them, Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would recite this supplication while going to bed,
(O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Magnificent Throne! Our Lord, and the Lord
of everything, Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil and the Furqan, the Splitter of the grain of
corn and the date stone! I seek refuge with You from the evil of everything whose forhead You
have control over. O Allah! You are Al-Awwal, nothing is before You; Al-Akhir, nothing is after
You; Az-Zahir, nothing is above You; and Al-Bat in, nothing is below You. Remove the burden of
debt from us and free us from poverty.)
[ extract from Tafsir Ibn Katheer ]
All creatures of Allaah glorifies Him
Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah -- and He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
[ Quran 57:1 ]
The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing
but glorifies His praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing,
Oft -Forgiving.
[ Quran 17:44 ]

beware of shaytan
Imam Ibnul-Qayyim writes, 'From him (Shaytan), his followers learned the method of calling haraam things by names which people find attractive. So they called wine - the mother of joy, and they called intoxicants - morsels of delight, and they called Riba (usury) business dealing'
Imam Ibnul-Qayyim said in Igaathat al-Lahfaam (1/32), 'The Shaytan flows through the son of Adam like blood, until it is as if he becomes part of him, so he finds out what he likes and prefers; once he knows that, he uses it against a person and enters into him through this door. He also passes this information on to his brothers and allies among mankind, so that when they want to achieve their nefarious aims against one another they do so through means of that which people love and desire. Whoever tries to enter through this door will gain entry, and whoever tries to enter through any other way will find that the door is barred to him and he will not get what he wants.'
Imam Ibnul-Qayyim further explained how Shaytan used this trick to mislead our father Adam (alaihis-salaam) by appearing sincere towards him, he said, 'So, the enemy of Allah sensed what our parents liked, and felt that they wanted to live forever in that abode of joy. He knew that he could not reach them in any other way, so he swore to them by Allah that he was one of the sincere ones and said, 'Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels or become of the immortals.' And he (Shaytan) swore by Allah to them both (saying), 'Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both.' [Soorah al-A'raf (7): 21]
Argumentation and making statements about Allah without knowledge is the primary reason behind the degradation and misery of Shaytan himself. He argued and dissented Allah's Absolute Wisdom saying, 'I am better than him [Adam], You created me from fire, and him You created from clay.' [Soorah al-A'raf (7): 12]
Imam Ibn Katheer writes, 'and this excuse (of Shaytan for disobeying Allah) is worse than the crime itself! Shaytan said that he did not obey Allah because he, who is better cannot prostrate to the one, who is less. Shaytan, may Allah curse him, meant that he is better than Adam, 'So how can You order me to prostrate before him' Shaytan said that he is better than Adam because he was created from fire while, 'You created him from clay, and fire is better.' The cursed one looked at the origin of creation not at the honor bestowed, i.e., Allah's creating Adam with His Hands and blowing life into him. Shaytan made a false comparison when confronted by Allah's command. He, thus, became 'Ablasa' from the mercy, meaning, lost hope in acquiring Allah's mercy. He committed this error due to his false comparison. His claim that fire is more honored than mud was also false, because mud has the qualities of wisdom, forbearance, patience and assurance, mud is where plants grow, flourish, increase and provide food. To the contrary, fire has the qualities of burning, recklessness and hastiness. Therefore, the origin of creation directed Shaytan to failure, while the origin of Adam led him to return to Allah with repentance, humbleness, obedience and submission to His command, admitting his error and seeking Allah's forgiveness and pardon for it.' [end quote from Tafseer Ibn Katheer for the verse, (7): 12]

Harathtu
See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground? Is it ye that cause it to grow or are We the Cause? Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment. (Saying)" We are indeed left with debts (for nothing). "Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)."
[ Quran 56:63-67 ]
Ibn Jarir recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said,
Do not say, "Zara` tu (I made it grew), '' but say, "Harathtu (I sowed tilled).''
