| Bismihi Ta`ala *Do your maths Today-Part 2.**Allah Ta`ala has given us a body full of joints that facilitate us in our daily tasks. The finger joints enable ulamas to hold pen and type over the laptop. By the way, there will be a maths between ink of ulamas and blood of martyrs and the ink of ulamas will be calculated as the winner of this maths.**Because human has very précised pin pointing fingers, the first typing machine was followed by other technical machines.**The joints in different parts of the body enable us to stand, sit and lie down. Then walk, run and swim. Nowadays some people use the movement of their body to fly down with a flying suit from the clouds and touch down gliding on water, without the use of parachute!**Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam showed us this maths for our day: ‘’When someone wakes up in the morning in a healthy body, safe in his house/family and he has enough food for the day, then this person has been blessed with all the possible bounties of this world.’’(Ibn Majah)*عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْكُمْ مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا ابن ماجة*So your maths today is to evaluate the bounties around you and then be grateful to Allah Ta`ala. Health, safety, well being, family life and food for the day are the greatest wealth in this dunya. So if you have these bounties, then do shukr of Allah Ta`ala. My Ustaad and my mentor Mufti Meerun r.a. sahab used to tell me that take note and value whatever you have. And when you lose something, then think it is not worst than that.* *Whatever your conditions, be thankful to Allah Ta`ala. Reported in ahadiths that in a happy advent then say :’’Alhamdulillahillazi bini`matihi tatimmus salihaat’’ ‘’Glory and Thank be to Allah, the ONE that with His favours that accomplishments are sealed.’’ . And when saddened, then say: ‘’Alhamdulillah `Alaa Kulli Haal.’’ ‘’Glory and Thank be to Allah upon all conditions.’’ (Ibn Majah)*عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أُمِّهِ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَأَى مَا يُحِبُّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ وَإِذَا رَأَى مَا يَكْرَهُ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ ابن ماجة*In all conditions of life, thank Allah Ta`ala. By thanking Allah Ta`ala, Allah Ta`ala says He will increase His bounties.(14:7) So say ‘’Alhamdulillah’’ when waking up, after toilets, after every morcel of food and on every step of your life.* Mufti Mackoojee |
