Choose
friends with care; only those who deserve your friendship. It is as important
to continue friendship with good people as choosing them for your friendship.
Friends are best companions. One must not feel bored in their company; they
should also feel happy in your company. This is a praiseworthy human trait to
recreate and rejoice with friends and good friends maintain dignity, honour and
moderation during recreation and amusement. If you care for someone, it is
important to sometimes express your affection. The expression of affection
brings people closer and produces sentiments of purity and sincerity. These
sentiments influence practical lives. It is also important to serve your
friends selflessly. This will strengthen your relations with them.
When we
consider the qualities of Allah, we come to know that one of the most important
qualities of Allah is to serve His creature. When His servant serves His
creature, Allah opens the gates of eternal blessings on him and ultimately the
whole world bows before him. Our elders have always tried to raise the status
of those who are younger in age. They always liked for their friends what they
liked for themselves.
Allah
loves those who benefit His creature. Let us pray our God, “O Lord remove all
impurities including enmity, envy, arrogance, jealousy and spite from our
hearts. O Allah unite our hearts and enable us to live in peace, unity,
solidarity so that an exemplary Islamic spiritual society could come into
being”.
Always
recite the following prayer of the Holy Quran:
“O Lord
forgive us and our brothers who have preceded us in belief. Eradicate
malevolence and jealousy among our hearts. O Lord, You are Merciful and
Caretaker” (59:10)
When we
consider countless qualities of Allah, we find the qualities of kindness and
mercifulness as the most prominent ones. As Creator, He has given us numerous
rewards. His creature in skies and earth continues to praise Him.
Parents
become a medium to bring a baby to this world. Later, the responsibility for
rearing up a baby is accorded to mothers. They become media to bring a baby
from absence to existence. This medium exists on such quantities that every
minute, day and night, something is disappearing and something else is
appearing. The child is growing up.
After 90
days, a new face emerges out of nothingness. Day and night, motherly love and
fatherly affection provide resources and ultimately invisible stuff appears
with a soft body from darkness to light. Whosoever looks at him, feels
happiness. When mother first sees their baby, they forget their pains and feel
indescribable relief and happiness.
Allah
says that mother's love is, in fact, one of the qualities of Allah. Allah loves
His servants more than 70 mothers.
Mother
provides all the comforts to her babies. She herself suffers but never lets her
babies suffer any discomfort. She forgets her pain when it comes to providing
comforts to her babies.
As long
as the baby is dependent, parents continue to shower their affection on him.
Allah is
the only provider. He has provided for the comforts of all the human beings. A
woman represents the attributes of God for her babies. This is true for the
mothers of all the species.
Time is
change in days into nights and vice versa. This means something appears to be
changing but nothing is changing. What eyes see is fiction and temporary.
Everything fictitious is subject to change; yet there is no change in reality,
the way of Allah (Allah's Sunnah).
Fiction
is temporary. Material body is nothing but a phased destruction.
What
remains and what will happen if the manifested doesn't disappear and the hidden
doesn't manifest itself through this world?
Think
about it. Write your views on a piece of paper and send us your comments and
questions. We will try to reply.
