Rabi al awwal 14 1435

Bless humanity as we look back to the human who provided direction and guidance for our souls in the Herafter and on earth ... today we examine the life of our great Prophet Mohammed ( PBUH) . What have we learned from HIS example to help us today in 2014 in our personal trials? As I examine our own actions ( including mine) , I see a selfish being who is more concerned with appearances now, past hurts we have endured , loves lost, and whatever grandiose thoughts that might lift our spirits . The Prophet , instead would ask ..." what good have you done? " " Who have you forgiven?" " Can you appreciate a love that you once felt?" " Can you humble yourself with contrition and repentance knowing that your mistakes will be forgiven if you never repeat them?" Muhammed ( PBUH) would ask us to open our hearts today , be compassionate to others, pray for each other, and accept what befalls us , Seek the wisdom and grace only from Allah that will enable us to be strong each day . Remember the garbage others dropped on our Holy Prophet's head and he simply washed himself and kept on going . Please help us dear Allah to " keep on going " ... the choice will be ours. Ask and ye shall be given ... seek and ye shall find. By asking to do the good , we will overcome the bad. Praise HIM for the gift of this Prophet.. bless the prophet where he resides now and seek to copy his ways as best we can . I love the Creator and praise HIM today and forever. He has all the power>>> I have none!!!
