Seeker of Knowledge...Mehnat(EFFORT)

We should put in full concentration and work extremely hard to acquire this ILM. Remember we did not come here by ourselves, but Allah has chosen us and brought us here. So to be accepted he looks at, how much effort we put in, how hard we try, how much we sacrifice and according to that we will be rewarded.

Three points to bring into practice:

*Motala (going over the next day's lesson)

*Sabak (to learn what was taught on that day)

*Iyadah (To go over and revise the previous day's lesson)

"Work-hard day and night, surely you will gain success"

Seeker of Knowledge...Ikhlaas (Sincerity)

Talib-e-Ilm what is our aim?

Whilst we are studing this Ilm we must always ponder over our intentions and rectify them.
We are not here to gain worldly pleasure,

We are here to gain:

1. Marifat (Recognition of Allah)

2. Islah (Rectification of ourselves)

3. To convey the true message.

Remember:

"If you run after the world the world will run away from you, If you run towards Allah the world will come running towards you"

Week 1

HADITH:
"Backbiting is worse than unlawful intercourse" (bayhaqi, Shu'ab al-iman)

DID YOU KNOW:
In the year 980 Abu'l Wafa al Buzjani (a.k.a Abu'l Wefa) [940, d. Baghdad (iraq), July 15,998] introduces the tangent ratio to Arabic mathematics and further develops spherical trigonometry.

TARGET:
Stay away for back-biting, and from those who back-bite. Insha'Allah

Hadith/Target/Did you know

"When asked what deeds were the most beloved by Allah, the prophet Muhammed sallahu alaihi wassalam replied, "The most regular, constant deeds even though they may be a few". He added, "Take upon yourselves only those deeds which are within your ability." (bukhari)

As most of us may be aware what this hadith is saying. That those deeds, which are regular are most beloved to Allah. We all tried to act upon this hadith, with the help of a weekly hadith, target and did you know. I hope and pray that we all tried our utmost best to bring those hadiths in our lives and act upon them persistently.

Also as you can see the 2nd part of the hadith which mentions, only try to act upon those deeds that you are capable of. It can get difficult improving ourselves in deen, whilst we work and study. So insha'Allah for those that work, go university, college and even those seekers of knowledge (talib-e-ilm), i will carry on quoting a weekly Hadith, Target and a Did you know. In this method insha'Allah, we can put a new target and hadith into practice every week and increase our knowledge whether it be just a little amount, as long as we keep it persistent.

May Allah accept our efforts.
