Are they waiting for the angels or your Lord Himself to come down to them, or for a sign of His to be given them? On the day when such a sign is given them, faith shall not avail the soul which had no faith before or while believing, did no good works. “Say: 'Wait if you will, we too are waiting.'” [Surah Al-An’am, 6 Ayat: I58]. “We led the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his legions pursued them with wickedness and tyranny. But as he was drowning he cried: 'Now I believe that there is no [...]

The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Anyone who says la ilaha illAllah sincerely enters Jannah.” (Reported by Ahmad) The Meaning “La” negates. The word “ilah” comes from the root aliha meaning waliha. It is common in Arabic that they replace the letter hamza with wow. Walah in Arabic means something that you are extremely in love with. The word “Allah” means the One you love the most. There is added meaning to this as well: the Arabs say that love has so many different levels. It starts with liking something and thinking about something. It reaches to a level called [...]

It has great virtues and has a great place with Allah. Whoever says it with truthfulness will enter the Gardens of Paradise and whoever did not utter it truthfully, his property and blood will be safeguarded in this world, but his reckoning will be with Allah the Mighty and Majestic. It is a concise declaration that contains few letters; light upon the tongue, yet heavy in the scales. It has been reported by Ibn Hibbaan, as well as al-Haakim who declared it to be authentic (saheeh), from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree radhiyallahu ‘anhu, that Allah’s Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: “Moses said: [...]

Faith increases by obligatory and voluntary obedience and decreases by sins: Minor and major; and faith vanishes by disbelief and polytheism. Allah (may He be Exalted) says (which means): "The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Quran) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith." [Surat Al Anfal: 2]. Allah says (which means): "And that the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'ân is the truth)." [Surat Al Muddathir: 31]. Allah also says (which means): "He it is Who sent down As-Sakînah (calmness [...]

1- Grant you faith and raise your rank in His Sight: ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, said, Allah The Almighty gives wealth to those whom He loves and those whom He does not love, while He does not grant faith except to those whom He loves. So, whoever holds money too dearly to spend it (in the cause of Allah The Almighty) and is prevented by fear of the enemy from fighting and is not diligent enough to stand up at night in worship, should often repeat: La ilaaha illa Allah, and Subhaana Allah, and Al-hamdulillaah, and [...]

5- Protect you from all the worldly evils: The Prophet, sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “If Allah The Almighty loves a slave, He will protect him in this world just as one of you deprives his sick relative of water (if it is harmful for him).” [Reported by Al-Tirmithi] [Al-Albaani: Saheeh] Ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “If Allah The Almighty loves someone, He would choose him for Himself and relieve him of all cares including his wife and children.” Al-Fudhayl ibn ‘Iyaadh, may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “If Allah The Almighty loves a slave, He [...]
