Good Advice

28:68

Your Lord is the One who creates whatever He wills, and chooses; no one else does any choosing. Glory be to GOD, the Most Exalted. He is far above needing partners.

28:69

Your Lord knows the innermost thoughts hidden in their chests, as well as everything they declare.

He is the one GOD; there is no other god beside Him. To Him belongs all praise in this first life, and in the Hereafter. All judgment belongs with Him, and to Him you will be returned.

These three verses struck me today. Glory be to God, in that such an eloquent praise for Him is in his scriptures... as a matter of my fact, such a many eloquent praise for God can be found in all his scriptures. very easily we overlook them but with repeated reading Gw God makes us aware of them and we prostrate to him as a sign of our gratitude.

So that i don't forget - this verse also keeps popping at me whenever i choose to open the Quran blindly - this is surah 41 - Fussilat. 30-36.

the advice therein is one that i often fail to remember - Such is my genes that i am one quick to anger and quick to rebuke - i forget to exercise patience and resort to God - Of this i stand guilty before God, my soul and self. My tongue is quick to fire off instantaneously if i am vexed/angered. sometimes it is only afterwards that i remember and i seek forgiveness from God for the many faults of this kind which no doubt seeks to take me away from him and i ask that i remember and heed the advise in future.

Patience as with all thing comes from God - its one of the things that evade me but by Gods mercy, he will provide me with it as well as with strength of mind and courage.... not forgetting contentment

Those who proclaim: "Our Lord is GOD," then lead a righteous life, the angels descend upon them: "You shall have no fear, nor shall you grieve. Rejoice in the good news that Paradise has been reserved for you.

"We are your allies in this life, and in the Hereafter. You will have in it anything you wish for; you will have anything you want.

"(Such is your) ultimate abode, from a Forgiver, Most Merciful.

Who can utter better words than one who invites to GOD, works righteousness, and says, "I am one of the submitters"?

Not equal is the good response and the bad response. You shall resort to the nicest possible response. Thus, the one who used to be your enemy, may become your best friend.

None can attain this except those who steadfastly persevere. None can attain this except those who are extremely fortunate.

When the devil whispers an idea to you, you shall seek refuge in GOD. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
