*✨We are blessed, And we failing miserably in recognising our blessings* ✨

⌚Today, we have become the kind of Muslims who feel when we observe salat we are doing Allah a favor.
The fact remains that our deeds are for our own soul, for our akhira, for our own benefit, not for anyone.
Its sad that Muslims of modern days do not regard Islam as a favor from Allah - they sometimes think it's their birth right.
*Allah doesn't need you and your Salah, you need Him by connecting with him through your salah*

*🌟Guidance to the fitrah:*
Many of us were born Muslims, so we don't know what this means. To understand the gravity of this blessing, ask a revert who just accepted Islam. You would be marveled by the response from a seeker of truth who had disbelieved out of ignorance before finding guidance.
The point here is not to look down upon the non-Muslim as misguided.
*It is to give thanks for your guidance as nothing guarantees you of ending your life on this path.* Thats one reason why we repeatedly recite the prayer on a daily basis: " *Guide us onto the straight path!".*

📖_This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. - Qur'an 5[Al-Maida']:3📖

*❤The Love for the Messenger:* Many Muslims claim to love the prophet, yet they work in contradiction to his teachings.
You cant love Allah and His messenger without following the footpath they laid.
*Where lies the sunnah in our hearts? How often do we try to revive the forgotten practice?* Islam isnt based upon mere suggestion, innovation or thoughtful desires. Many Muslims today claim to love the prophet with their tongue, yet the limbs does not profess it. You can't love the prophet by only celebrating his birthday annually (Bid'ah). It is by living in line with what he has enjoined day-in, day-out.

Its quite pathetic that Muslims of this day even mock other Muslims for emulating the sunnah.
And in this sunnah is life for those who truly believe. Until we return to our basis, our state may not improve.

📓_Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." - Qur'an 3[Al-Imran]:31_📓

*🤝🏼The brotherhood🤝🏼:* The bond of brotherhood is lost amidst the Muslims of modern day.
The unity of Islam was sacred to a point that people gave up their wealth and belongings for their brothers in need - even at the point of death.

_And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Quran), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allahs Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islamic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided. - Qur'an 3[Al-Imran]:103_

*📖The Quran📖*
The final revelation from God, A healing and guide that can mend our broken hearts,The Qur'an gives explicit narratives of events of old, the present and the future. It is indeed a guide onto those who believe. Every do's and don'ts of the Qur'an are actually injunctions for the preservation of the human well-being. Yet of knowledge, little does man know.

Only recently will you find Muslims taking pride in scientific discoveries which Islam has confirmed 1400 years ago when science and technology wasn't in an advanced stage.

_This is a Book (the Quran) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember. - Qur'an 28[As-Sad]:29_

*"He chose you to be a Muslim, that's enough to understand that He loves you, so take acknowledge his favour and embrace your blessing"*

Jazak Allahu khairan Kaseera.
Until next time In Shaa Allah,

Assalam Wa Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatahu...
