Good Deeds

Good deeds without sincerity is like a traveller who carries a water container full of dirt. Carrying it is a burden and brings them no benefit. - Ibn al-Qayyim [not a hadith]

(a reminder to myself first and foremost, in'sha'Allah)
May  ALLAH  ALMIGHTY reward us immensely, Ameen!

Work For the Hereafter

Work for the Hereafter, and Allah will be enough for you in your worldly concerns.

Allahu Akbar!
May  ALLAH  ALMIGHTY reward us immensely, Ameen! 

Daughter to perform Hajj for Mother's vowed

It has been narrated that a woman came to the Prophet (SAW) and said, "My mother vowed to perform the Hajj but she died before performing it. Should I perform the Hajj on her behalf?" He was reported to have said, "Yes! Perform the Hajj on her behalf. See, if your mother had been in debt, would you have paid her debt?" She said, "Yes." He was reported to have said, "So you should pay what is for Him as Allah has more right that one should fulfill one's obligations to Him." [for the actual hadith, see Bukhari]

Allahu Akbar!

May  ALLAH  ALMIGHTY reward us immensely, Ameen!
