Muharram 6 1438

The Month of Muharram marks the beginning of the next Islamic Year... now at day 6,  we look to the next year and where Allah may direct our path. Accepting the surrender to HIS will must be our annual focus ... being aware of the work HE has in mind for us .  As we read Sura Taubah daily , we see how close we are to hypocrisy ...if HIS grace does not save us . Allah has given us the IMAN, the Quran and the Prophet's sunna , to remind us of what is expected .

However my reminder this period, is that the world can not support our corrected thinking. It is only the remembrance that we are HIS and will return to HIM when this life is finished . The hereafter is where we must turn ... examining what we MUST take there with us. Purity, good deeds in abundance , seeking forgiveness daily , and patience to ENDURE what every moment brings to us .

Regard DEATH with fondness , never allowing FEARS to intrude in our mind .

Judgments about this world will do us no good in the Hereafter... let them go and face your own foibles with the wish to correct and discipline your own NAFS.
