Nothing without you

In the name of Allah, The most Gracious, The Most Merciful,

If you look around you, we are surrounded with God's magnificent settings for us to enjoy. Notice how the wind blows so calmly, how cats squeeze their way into your house when opportunity arises, how brilliant the shades of whites and blues are colored. Allah The Al-Mighty has granted us with so many gifts and presents. Unfortunately, many of us blinded. Blinded by the cars, money, fancy jobs, big houses, men & women and the list goes on. Do I act the same? Yes as I am only human but that is no excuse for me to betray Him. We are also deaf and yet we have a perfect set of ears. Sometimes pierced to the extreme. To show to the world what you can do to you EARS? Absurd it seems.

Allah has commanded us not to make any ruins of what He had created for us. Surely we are not taken...yet. So why not be thankful? Thankful how? Pick up the tiny things on the road which causes harm to others, do not throw your cigarettes butts unknowingly, make sure the water tap is tightly turned and again, the list goes on. If your nice to Allah, people will be nice to you and He will be nicer to you evermore.

"And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers." (Al-Baqarah: 11)

We have countless destructions made by men. Forests are being harvested; rivers and seas are being polluted; papers are being wasted and money is being lavishly spent. Don't you know that those who spends uncontrollably are allies of Satan?

"...Verily! Shaitan (Satan) is to man an open enemy!" (Yusuf: 5)

Through the teachings of The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), he had taught us to be generous, to be kind to others, help those who are in need, smile to you fellow brothers and sisters, never to beg for money when you can work, and be especially extra nice to you parents (not unless there are things which defy Islam then that is a different case). Actually you can learn a lot from reading the teachings (hadith) of The Prophet as both Hadith and The Qur'an goes hand in hand and can never be separated. I once heard that if a muslim only follow the Qur'an, he or she will be strayed.

I am only his weak helpless servant
Aim to help others with what Ive gained
Surely not to make chaos on earth
But to have a tiny little proportion of God's Affection

Wallahu'alam.
