Small illnesses for small sins, big illnesses for big sins...
Small illnesses for small sins, big illnesses for big sins...
May Allah not deprive us of the faiz of Ramadan...To say
Bismillahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim in holy Ramadan is not like saying it in the
other months. Every good deed, salih amal, counts 7o times in this month.
Ramadan is the month of gathering precious 'jewels and gold', because Allah
is paying for the good deeds fauq-ul 'ala.
In every night the blessings are different, the thirty nights are like
thirty springs- each one different from the other. Allah has so many
sources, He is Jalla Jalaluhu...They think it is a joke...Don't go around
without having Wudhu!
Shukr, ya Rabbi! Let us to say and praise Your mighty Name with our tongues:
,Allah, ya Jalil...Allah, dhul Jalal!'
They envy us for making Dhikr and mentioning His
Name...Shukr...Shukr...Shukr! Don't be afraid! Who is saying Shukr will not
fall on the Sirat,Bridge, nor will he fall into hell, and he will not die
from a terrible illness. Illness escapes from a grateful person who says
Shukr...
So for saying Bismillahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim once there is a seventy-fold
reward. Everything what you do in Ramadan is precious and full of blessings.
What is given during this month from rewards is not given in all the other
months...So give and don't be afraid- Allah will give to you...
The nation that Allah gave most knowledge to is the nation of the Children
of Israel. With their knowledge and the inventions they make they are above
all other nations. No one is ahead of them. Now there are even tea-machines
that produce seven different kinds of tea...The Jews also invented the
paper-money and now we have the credit-cards. They are so close to Shaitan,
first-class friends of Shaitan, and he whisperes into them what they should
do... In old times buying and selling was done with Salawat and Besmela, and
buyer as well as seller took their share of the blessings. And the goods
never finished. You can still see the blessings in Mekka: after the
night-prayer millions of people do their shopping, but in the morning you
see the shops full like before, nothing is missing. The goods go and come.
That is because of the Baraka that Allah gave to this place...Now there is
paper instead of gold and silver...
Allah is saying: ,What you give for My sake, I am not accepting, but I give
it back to you ten-fold'. There are five kinds of Sadaqa: One kind is
rewarded 1:1, another one is rewarded 1:1o, another 1:7o, the fourth kind is
rewarded 1:7oo and for one kind of Sadaqa there is endless reward from Allah
Almighty Himself.
1:1 is for Haram-money, the money for example that is gained in banks,
because to take interest is not allowed in Islam. And you have to know what
to do with that money. There was one rich Arab in London who received
millions of pounds Sterling for the money he put in the bank. He refused to
take it, because he said in Islam it is not allowed, but the bank said they
couldn't take it back. Then that rich man took the money and donated it for
the restauration of a cathedral in England...The reward for Sadaqa from
Haram-money is 1:1.
If you give to someone who comes to your door to beg, your reward is 1:1o.
If you give to poor neighbours, your reward is 1:7o. If you give to poor
relatives, the reward is 1:7oo. Endless reward is for those who give money
to strengthen Islam, to make it to stand up and to keep it strong. That
reward is not written by the angels but by Allah Almighty Himself with His
Hand of Power. For example the money can be used to build or keep Mosques,
Dergahs, Madresas, Waqifs. As it is Allah, Who gave to you- why do you fear
to give? Allah says: ,I am sending provision in unknown and unexpected ways
to My servant'. Therefore Allah doesn't want employees in mosques- it is His
attribute to provide for His servants in His way. They should not eat from
the Bait-ul-Mal. Don't tie yourself in regard to payment- tie yourself to
Allah! But we are running after rubbish of Dunya and collect it. Collect
jewels instead! May Allah give us a mind orientated toward Akhirat. If we
don't look after Akhirat first, the mind also doesn't function in
Dunya...The proof: If our mind was functioning well, this world would be
like paradise.
