كيف أنت يا سراقة و في يديك أسورة كسرى Light of hope in a dark moment

Suraqah, how would you feel, if wearing the royal barclets of the romanian King?

a simple question, which he asked his follower, on the day he was running away from his hometown.
while everyone was looking for him, he was wanted alive or dead, only his friend as companion, travelling a long and unknown road to escape his enemies and reach his destination city as safe as possible.
facing one of his enemies who has found him, he never lost his courage, hope and faith in Allah's hand.
he was very sure of his victory, as Allah has promised him a complete victory ove his enemies, but he taught me so many things, from this very short incident.

- set your goal, plan for it and work hard to reach it.
- never loose hope.even in darkest moments, keep your head up, trust in Allah's judgement and keep working to get there.
- a kind approach-even with your enemies- has a magical influence. being cruel is the easiest way, strong kindness is your weapon to fight your enemies.
- If today you are the weak party, tomorrow you will be the strong one. just work on it.
- The true leader is the one who spreads positive attitude to those arround him. His calm, positive attitude in dealing wiht this man gave Abu Bakr -his friend and companion- the time to calm down and gather his courage again, ready to fight if needed.
- let go of hatred and forgive who used to be your enemy. you never know, tomorrow he might be your companion and supporter.
- never use people's weak moments. think of your own weak moments.

Suraqah ibn Malik has lived few years after this incident and at the time the Muslims won the romanian empire, while Omar ibn el Khattab was ruling- Suraqqah got the royal barcelts of Qissrah and wore them infront of everyone- as HE promised him.

When i am down, loosing my faith in myself and the world, i run to him. read his life story, listen to people talking about it, learning from him how to overcome my weakness.
and he never failed to help me, whenever i looked for a sign in his life.
I always find the answer to my question in his life story and find my way back to the right path

Wasseyah-2

11\272 عن أبي شريح بن عمرو الخزاعي رضي الله عنه قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم اللهم اني أحرج حق الضعيفين: اليتيم و المرأة.
( أحرج = ألحق الحرج- و هو الأثم - بمن ضيع حقهما، و أحذر من ذلك تحذيرا بليغا، و أزجر عنه زجرا أكيدا.)
حديث حسن رواه النسائي باسناد جيد
من كتاب رياض الصال
Muhammad (SAW), as wittnessed by many of his companions, said: Oh Allah, I herewith condemn those, who don't give A woman or an orphan child their full rights".

what if he was living in our world now, witnessing unfair treatment of women and orphans?

An advise from He, who loves me (1)

وَعَنْ أَبي هُريرةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : « أَلا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِكُمْ مِنْ شَرِّكُمْ ؟ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، قَالُوا : بَلى ، قَالَ : خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ وَيُؤمَنُ شَرُّهُ ، وَشَرُّكُمْ مَنْ لا يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ وَلا يُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ » . أخرجه الترمذي

Abu Hureirah, one of Mohammad's companions (SAW) said:
"The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: would you want me to tell you who would be the best man and the worst man between you?"
repeating it three times...
We- his companions said "Please do"
He said: The best of you is the one, who you would always expect good doings from , and are always safe from evil doings.
while the worst of you is the one, who you would never expect any good doings from, and you are never safe from evil doings."

I wish to be a person who never hurts others on purpose, and who others always feel safe from evil doings at my side.
