*SUBMISSION AND DEVOTION TO ONLY THE WILL OF ALLAH*
*=========================*

*The Promised Messiah (as) wrote/said:*

*_“The pain which pleases God is better than the pleasure which makes God angry. And that defeat which pleases God is better than the victory which invites the wrath of Allah. Renounce the love which brings you nearer to the wrath of Allah. If by purifying your hearts you will come to Him, then He will help you whichever path you tread and no enemy shall be able to harm you._*

*_"You can never ever win the pleasure of Allah unless you, relinquishing your desire, abandoning your pleasures, sacrificing your honour, disowning your wealth, discarding your life, bear such hardships in His way as make you suffer pangs of death. But once you have suffered hardships for Allah, you will come in the lap of God like a beloved child. And you will be made as heir of those pious persons who have preceded you. The door of every blessing will be opened to you. But there are few who belong to this category.”_*
(The Will, pp. 9-10)

_“To establish the true Unity, it is essential that you take full share of your love of God Almighty; and this love cannot be proven without practical accomplishment. My purpose is that along with verbal acknowledgement, practical proof is also very necessary. Therefore, it is essential that you devote your lives in the cause of Allah and this is the very purpose for which I have been sent.”_

*_(Malfuzat; Vol. 3, p. 138)_*

*BECOME VIRTUOUS AND RIGHTEOUS SO THAT YOUR REASONING MAY BE ILLUMINED AND ENLIGHTENED*
*=========================*

*The Promised Messiah (as) said:*

_What disappoints and pains me is that the Muslims do not care for Islam even to the extent that one cares for their marital relations. I have often had the opportunity to read that even Christian women, during death, bequeath hundreds of thousands of rupees for the propagation and spread of the Christian faith. And as far as devoting their lives for the dissemination of Christianity is concerned, this is something we observe daily. Thousands of lady-missionaries go from home to home and street to street, and strip the people of their faith in any way possible. *I have yet to see a single Muslim who has bequeathed even 50,000 rupees on their deathbed for the propagation of Islam. In contrast, at marriages and for worldly customs, they spend extravagantly and even incur debt to squander their wealth relentlessly. But when it comes to Islam, they have nothing. Alas! What a pity! Could the state of the Muslims be any more deplorable?*_

The End...

*A TRUE RELIGION IS ONE THAT NURTURES THE HUMAN FACULTIES*
*=========================*

*The Promised Messiah (as) said:*

As for such people who consider retribution, anger or marriage to be unacceptable in all cases, they too disregard the Book of Nature and defy the faculties of man.

*A true religion is one that nurtures the human faculties, not one that uproots them. To forsake virility or anger, which God Almighty has invested in man, is to war with God—as if one were to become a hermit or a monk. All such things are an infringement of the rights due to fellow man. *If human faculties were to be relinquished completely, this would result in objection against God who invested us with them.* Hence, the teachings in the Gospel—which result in the ruin of one’s faculties—lead a person to misguidance. Allah the Exalted orders their proper use, not for them to be wasted away. As such, He states:
*انَِّ اللہَ یَاْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْاِحْسَانِ ...الخ*
*Verily, Allah enjoins justice, and the doing of good to others.*

Justice is a thing which all ought to benefit from. For the Messiah (as) to teach that ‘the eye which offends thee be plucked out,’ also brings about the destruction of one’s faculties because he did not teach that a person must not look at a non-mahram woman at all. On the contrary, one is permitted to very well do so, but not with an adulterous eye—there is no prohibition in looking at the first place. *If a person looks at such a woman, it should be taken into account how this affects a person’s faculties.* Why, like the Quran, was the eye not forbidden from looking at what causes a person to stumble in the first place, so that one would not mourn the loss of something as beneficial and valuable as the eye?

سُبْـحَانَكَ اللَّهُـمَّ وَبِحَمْـدِكَ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُـكَ، وَتَعـَالَى جَـدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

Don't focus on your weakness. Focus on your strengths. It will make you Happy.

No matter what you are going through in life, there is always somebody out there who's going through something worse than you.

Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.

DEAR WIFE...
1. If you want your husband to make love to you often, have a good attitude. No matter how sexy you look or dress, your husband will not find you attractive if you have a bad attitude.
2. If you want your husband to be eating with you, be pleasant to be around. No matter how tasty your food, it loses taste when being around you is stressful.
3. If you want your husband to be opening up to you sensitive and difficult information, learn to keep secrets and not to overreact. A man refrains from sharing too much when he is scared information will be leaked or be misinterpreted.
4. If you want your husband to be praying with you, stop acting as if your prayers are more powerful or you are closer to God than him. Allow your husband to pray his kind of way.
5. If you want your husband to be taking you out often, stop bringing drama and ruining dates with issues that should be dealt with at home. No man wants to go spend time and money at a venue where he will be emotionally drained.
6. If you want your husband to solve the issues in your marriage, stop seeing yourself as the angel and him the devil, stop attacking him or labelling him as "The agent the devil is using to ruin your marriage". See also your fault, show him you are on the same team and seek solutions, not finger pointing.
7. If you want your husband to come home early, be peaceful. The wife tends to own the home and so can easily make the husband keep off if she becomes harsh, uninviting and combative.
8. If you want your husband to be chatting with you and calling you up, be fun to talk to, make him miss you. If each time he calls you or chats you up it ends up with you starting a fight, reminding him of his wrongs or ordering him around he will avoid communication with you.
9. If you want your husband to receive your suggestions and corrections then speak to him with a tone of love. If you come at him shouting, dictating at him or manipulating him he will harden up.

Life is so short...but you have to make it sweet.

Almighty God, I know you are trying my patience, By giving me the pain, I know I will be a better person, Because there is so much to gain, From this period of life, So thanks a lot my Lord!

THE DISEASE OF THE HEART IS OF TWO KINDS:
The First One Is That Which Does Not Cause Pain at Once Like the Disease of Ignorance, Doubts and Desires. This Type Is the Source of Greater Pain but Because of the Corruption of the Heart It Doesn't Feel It.
The Second Type Is the Disease Which Causes Pain Immediately Like Grief, Worry, Sorrow and Anger. This Type Can Be Cured by Natural Treatment Through Removing the Symptoms or by Treating It With Its Opposite.

“What is meant for you will always be yours. Allah will give it to you at the best time & at the best moment. All it takes is some patience.”

The person who defecated might forget but not the person who had packed them with his hands. [The person that caused a problem won't feel its impact as the person who had to bear the brunt of the problem]

Kindness is never wasted..No matter how small your deed is..Do good!

No matter what you’ve been going through, always remember that God is always with you. Sooner or later, you’ll be fine. Just keep your faith high, and never give up.
