Verily, Allâh is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it. And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: "What did Allâh intend by this parable?" By it He misleads many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allâh). Baqarah:26

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh;

How did I come to the conclusion that this is the truth from my Lord?

I came to the conclusion that this is the truth from my Lord b/c as a Believer, I believe in these parables- whether they involve large matters or small matters, b/c I know that they are the truth from Allah, and Allah guides the Believers by means of these parables. By means of these parables, Allah guides many from among those of conviction and faith,and adds guidance to their guidance- why? B/c they know and firmly believe in what they know to be true- meaning the parables that Allah sets forth. THIS is the guidance that Allah grants them when He says: "wa yahdi bihi kathira".

Friends

"A man depends on the religion of his friend"

So make friends wisely, because maybe the company you hang out with may just lead you to paradise... =]

Role model

The companions of Muhammad (S) and their faith... by listening to their actions it makes ME want to do something, it makes me want to follow them. They heard a verse and gave the most so we today can find it easy to give a little.

Unite!!

Hold firmly to the rope of Allah (the Quran and the Sunnah)
Hani Karim

To achieve success we need to be united. To enjoin that which is good and Forbid from that which is evil we need each other. And in order for us to unite we need to encourage not discourage.
Zardana.

It's the lack of unity which has made us weak as an Ummah. So what will unite us? easy... Quran and Sunnah.

Spend to Attain Piety

By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness - here it means Allâh's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allâh's Cause) of that which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allâh knows it well.

Growing up spoiled i never shared what was mine. But now that i'm growing up i realized that everytime i share for Allah (even if it is a piece of cheesecake) I feel good. Like seriously...REALLY GOOD.
Share for Allah because everytime you share (quietly0 Allah watches it and knows it..He's always there. So try your best because your best...might just lead you to the mercy of Allah...paradise.

Five something that you dearly love fot he sake of Allah because in return Allah will reward you greatly. Most importantly you will attain piety. Giving something as little as one dollar to help build a masjid will give you reward for every person who performs Salah in that Masjid.

Spending a thing loved on a even a beloved will help us attain righteousness and will also increase our love for the Lord and His love for us.
Aysha Feroz

By spending in the way of Allah you get closer to Allah. If you love something dearly, try to sacrifice it because Allah will give you something much better in return. it can be anything, food clothes jewelry or a seat on the bus to an elderly or disabled person. Even offering help is spending out o your time. This way you will increase your piety and move up in ranks in front of Allah.
Sarah Afzal

Spending brings us closer to Allah! Giving up something for Him shows sacrifice and also takes away greediness on top of that it increases up in our faith and brings us one step closer to piety (righteousness)
Sheeza Ejaz

Giving and spending in the way of Allah is emphasized much in the Quran. We should spend or give something to prove our love of Allah to Him. When we give we become closer to Him and we also attain righteousness which becomes a means of His mercy. At the time of the Prophet (S) his companoins gave up thier homes for Allah cause they knew there was a better home waiting for them in the next world... we can give anything (in good condition) we like it really depends on our intention. You can even give your seat on the bus and share a type of food you love :).

Give up what you love for the sake of Allah and He will know what struggle you went through and He will give you your share in Paradise. And remember the key if for Allah otherwise all your efforts have gone to waste.

Repent!!!

REPENT! For the doors of repentance are open 'til you see the angel of death.

-Salma Shirzad

We can't go around doing everything we feel like. There are limits set for us. We must do what we have been ordered to do. To please Allah ... Pleasing Allah is our first priority. Then WE will be pleased in the hereafter.


Zaree Ahmedzay

Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) used to ask for forgiveness 70-100 times a day. I will try my best to start repenting (asking for forgiveness) from Allah [Inshallah].

-Lalo Ahmedzay

"Every sincere person invites to Allah"

-Aysha Feroz

Our prophet Muhammad S.A.W used to ask for forgiveness 70-100 times a day. That was the man who was guaranteed Paradise. Then what are WE compared to him . . .

Struggle

"The person who struggles to recite the Qur'an recieves more rewards than the one who reads it fluently"
