As Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaah,

inshAllah you all are in the best of health and emaan.

" وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

Wama khalaqtu aljinna waal-insailla liyaAAbudooni

And I did not create the Jinns and the human/mankind except to worship Me. [Surah Ad-Dhariyat:51 Ayah 56]

The message is clear- this is the purpose of our lives.

We are here because of Allah, alhamdulillah.

Our ultimate goal should be to strive for Him.

To Praise Him.

To Glorify Him.

To make aware that He is the Greatest.

All in all-

To Worship Him.

As Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaah,

InshAllah you are well, in the best of health and emaan and keeping warm lol

I thought i'd post this on revival as it carries a nice message and was mailed to me by someone at uni islamic society.

" The Sahabah (radiAllaahu anhum) recited the Quran and this was the only source of knowledge for them. Before Islaam came, they were illiterate people who were ignorant. In one occasion, a few companions saw Umar ibn al-Khattab (radiAllaahu anhu) laughing and then crying; one after the other.They asked what had caused that to happen to him. He said. "I remember that in the days of Jahiliyyah, I used to have this idol made of dates. One day, I became so hungry that I ate a piece of it. And then, I cried when I remembered digging a hole and burying my daughter. Whilst I was putting her in, she reached up and brushed dirt from my beard.” As a Muslim these incidents made him cry and laugh. Without Islaam these moments weren’t funny or sad, it was normal. Without Islaam, making sujood to an idol made out of dates and then eating the same dates was absolutely fine and acceptable and killing a baby girl alive was acceptable. It was Islaam that changed Umar (radiAllaahu anhu); it was the Quran. So the Sahabah had nothing without the Quran, they had no formal education. What they had after Islaam was what they learned from the Book of Allaah. "

I am sure by now we have all had an experience where people sometimes let us down but if you put all your trust in Allah and Rely Solely on Him, He will never let you down ......."And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose. Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion " (65:3).
