Aemeyraaa | deen notes & Quran Gathering

Alhamdulillah - A simple kalimah but heavy on the mizan “Alhamdu..” often translated as “All praise be..” — it is not just any praise, it is the praise by the Creator Himself of Himself, it is the highest of praise. Hamd is not befitting to lowly creations, when we thank one’s kindness to us it’s limited to the goodness that we have perceived, but hamd encapsulate all kind of praise Alhamdulillah is the pinnacle shukr (thankfulness) & this comes in three stages: 1) Shukr bi lisan: verbalising thanks, can be half hearted, leveling up takes time in contemplation, polishing & repetition 2) Shukr ul-jawarih: shukr seeps into the cells & muscle fibres - the body now move towards obedience - we guard our 7 limbs 3) Shukr bil qalb: what was outward act on the tongue lands in the heart. In a garden of roses, they only see flowers oblivious to the thorns. The ability to express hamd is a blessing. It is a divine teaching Oft-repeated reminder An invite to the life of tranquility. Alhamdulillah for hamd 🌸

Tarbiyah is planting seeds. It's not quick results, but quiet growth, Slow and steady growing roots. The strength of a tree isnt necessarily in the size of its branches, but more so in its root - that know where to seek its nourishment. And same goes to our strength in faith, isnt necessarily in the outward actions, but more of the inward connection. Sh Sahl Al-Tustari, a great servant of Allah from the 9th century experienced great tarbiyah from his uncle. His uncle would advised him to remember Allah by saying: "Say in your heart, whenever you are alone at night, three times without moving the tongue: 💗Allahu Ma'i 💗Allahu Nadhiri, 💗Allahu Shahidi. (Allah is with me. Allah is gazing on me, Allah is witnessing me)" Something we can teach our heart and our family too. Illustration: by Aemeyra Information: Sh Yahya Rhodes (Al-Maqasid).

Pearls of wisdom by Imam al-Haddad, Book of Assistance. Yaqeen is whole of faith. Yaqeen is actually the end results of all steps taken to be close to Allah, but must first be mentioned in this book. Without yaqeen, all things are almost worthless. "Why do anything if you have no yaqeen?" (a question posed by my ustazah). "And we do everything to reach yaqeen." Ma'alsalamah

وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ “Allah loves a good doer,” (in baqarah, al imran, maidah) Dear friends, even if the love you give is unreciprocated, be assured that Allah sees & Allah reward even the hidden love and the quiet love. ♡ Some gems from Quran Gathering yesterday, I am so grateful for this little circle, alhamdulillah! I just realised ‘muhsinun’ is rooted from ihsan, subhanallah, confirming that this isss my fave word in the Quran.

Salam Jumaah & Shaaban Mubarak. May this month be the month we switch gears - start planning, start strategising, start doing, tidy up that loose ends, last ‘huha’ before we retreat into our Ramadan Kahf, start ridding of any potential blocks to a successful Ramadan.
