Peace to those who follow the guidance,
Well, I just wanted to share with you this experience of mine.
When I finished my first year of uni, I applied for a job, to keep me busy throughout my holidays. Alhamdula heaps of places offered me positions including my dream job. I of couse chose my dream job, it was very difficult getting in, both my sister and I applied along with literally hundreds of other people and alhamdula I was one of the few successful applicants. I was over the moon when I got my foot in through the door, they payed me way above average and the job was within minutes of where I live.
I worked there for three months, every day being such a pleasure, true, it would get very stressful at times but that's only natural. As I was working, I had a feeling my income may not be haram because I dealt with haram products. I asked a lot of people about it but kept getting mixed responses. Finally I decided to resign, all for the pleasure and fear of my lord, Allah sw.
I don't know you people nor do you all know me so I hope there isn't any hidden riya (pride, showing off) behind this post. Today was my last shift, my collegues were all saying bye to me, they had purchased me a cake as well :shymuslima1:. Now I feel like crying because I gave up something which my friends only dream of for the sake of Allah sw. It makes me feel good, I just hope that the One who I did it for accepts it from me.
To all you who love music or do other things which you know is haram, just give it up for the pleasure of Allah sw and see what an amazing emotion you feel. Next time you ask Allah sw for something, bring up this act of good deed in the hope that Allah sw will accept your prayer because of it. There is a narration that talks of three young man who got stuck in a cave by a falling rock. Those three men were freed after stating the good deeds they done for the sake of Allah sw.
If only I knew for a fact my money was not halal, I would give it all away to charity. My dear sisters and brothers, this life is very short, today you are eating, tomorrow you will be eaten, today you dress yourself, tomorrow, you will be dressed, today you wash yourself, tomorrow you will be washed. When you were born, you were crying while everybody was laughing, so pray that when you die, you will be the one laughing while everyone will be the ones crying.
Be the best person you can be, pray for one another, forgive each other, love one another, respect one another, help one another and never stop talking to one another. Let's truely leave our footprints on the face of this earth for all the right reasons. Lets be a bunch of people who when we die, the earth and the skies morn our death.
I say this from the bottom of my heart, I truely love you all for the sake of Allah sw. I want to see you all succeed at the highest levels, I want to see you all happy and most importantly, I want to, inshala, see you all in Heaven, even if it be from hell.
