Bismihi Ta`ala
*THE MORNING BREATH OF HOPE.*
*Hazrat Mowlana Ilyas ra used to read the following ayah with a great ecstasy of hope: ‘’Each day, He(Allah Ta`ala) has a new set of approach.’’(55:29)*
[سورة الرحمن (55): الآيات 29
يَسْئَلُهُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ
*Narrated in tafseers that Allah Ta`ala daily anytime can forgive sins, remove difficulties, uplift some people, *downgrade some others, acquit the debts of some, accept the prayers of some, give cure to sick and answer those who ask for help.*(Qurtubi)
صحيح البخاري – (15 / 136)
كل يوم هو في شأن }
يغفر ذنبا ويكشف كربا ويرفع قوما ويضع آخرين
مصنف ابن أبي شيبة – (13 / 440)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ {كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ} قَالَ : مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يَفُكَّ عَانِيًا ، أَوْ يُجِيبَ دَاعِيًا ، أَوْ يَشْفِيَ سَقِيمًا ، أَوْ يُعْطِيَ سَائِلاً.
*So Hazrat Mowlana Ilyas ra used to make du`as and supplicate Allah Ta`ala with the breath of hope that Allah Ta`ala can change the whole set of decor for Hidayat and Islam today. That was his dream: level of deen at the time that Rasouloullah Swalallahou` Alaihi Wasallam left this world. He used to read this ayah with the joy that today Insha Allah, Allah Ta`ala can give Hidayat to everyone and the atmosphere of Muslims and Islam in the times of the beloved prophet Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam may come into existence again.*
*Each day of our lives, we also need to be positive, optimistic and have the hope that Allah Ta`ala will change all decors of life to our favour as from day break.*
*The sunnah also teaches us that when the sun rise, then we should ask Allah Ta`ala the benefits of that day, the victory that the day contain, the guidance that the day contain and also ask protection against its harm:*
*Asbahna wa asbahal moulkou lillahi rabbil alameen*
*Allahoumma as alouka khaira hazalyaum fathahou wa nasrahou wa nourahou wa barkatahou wa houdahou*
*Wa arouzoubika min sharri ma fihi* *wa sharri ma ba`dahou*

وروينا في ” سنن أبي داود ” بإسناد لم يضعفه عن أبي مالك الأشعري رضي الله عنه : أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : ” إذا أصبح أحدكم فليقل : أصبحنا وأصبح الملك لله رب العالمين ، اللهم أسألك خير هذا اليوم فتحه ونصره ونوره وبركته وهداه ، وأعوذ بك من شر ما فيه وشر ما بعده ، ثم إذا أمسى فليقل مثل ذلك “.
*We have entered a new day, and the world has entered a new day* *wholly by the grace of Allah Ta`ala,* *The Lord of the Universe. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this day, its victory, its uplifting, its light, its blessings, and its guidance. I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in it and from the evil that follows it.’’(Abu Dawood)*
صحيح مسلم – (4 / 260)
فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ طَلَعَتْ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَقَالَنَا يَوْمَنَا هَذَا فَقَالَ مَهْدِيٌّ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَلَمْ يُهْلِكْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا
*With du`as in tahajjud, salaah Fajr and confront the day with yaqeen on Allah accompanied with lots of zikrullah and optimism and positivity, Insha Allah you will see the sun set with improvement of your life.*
