Count your Blessings

October 19, 2024 / editor

The words "Think and Thank" ought to be inscribed in our hearts. Think of all we have to be grateful for, and thank Allah (swt) for all our bounties.
We all have a tendency to crib and indulge in self-pity, where we whine about how tough life is and complain about all the things that we have not got. But if we reflect and focus on the blessings Allah (swt) has endowed us with, life will be miraculous. Remember, “To multiply your joy, you must count your blessings.”

“Life is too short to be little.” Many times we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. Here we are on this earth, with only a few more decades
to live, and we lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. Let us devote our life to worth-while actions, simple living and high thinking.
Small talk and mistakes do happen. Let them not take
up your time! Most of us worry about what never happens. Break worry before it breaks you!

Crying for Imam al-Husayn (a)

September 27, 2024 / editor

supports her (in her lamentation), connects with the Messenger
of Allāh (saww), and fulfils our rights.

Kāmiluz Ziyārāt Chapter 26. Hadith 6

Can we truly describe God?

September 25, 2024 / editor

No vision can encompass Him, but He encompasses all vision ... (Q6:103)
I replied, “Of course.” Then he asked: “Do you all know what
al-Absār are?” I replied, “Of course.” Then he asked: “What are they?” I replied, “They are Absār meaning ‘eyes’.” He said, “The mind in your heart is more powerful than the eyes [with which you see]. Thus it is minds that cannot behold him, while He
beholds minds.”
To guide Abu Hashim to the hidden meaning of the verse above, Imam al-Ridha (a) first asks him what he understands from the verse. It is worth mentioning that the word Absār here refers to ‘minds’ . Since ‘minds’ which are our most powerful faculty for knowing, cannot behold Him, thus, we cannot truly describe Him.
