Jumuah (Friday) reminder: Repentance, Reliance and Gratitude

Image
Allah subhana wa ta'ala said (about what Nuh Alaihis Salam said to his people):  " Ask forgiveness of your Lord; Verily He is Oft-Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance; and give you increase in wealth and children. and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you  rivers. " [Qur'an 71:10-12] "If you were to put your trust in Allah, the way that Allah deserves, then you would be provided  for as the birds are; they leave (in search of food) at the  beginning  of the day famished, and  they   return at the end of the day full." (tirmidhi) " And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you are thankful, I will give you more  (of My  blessings), but if you are thankless, then verily, My Punishment is indeed  severe. " [Qur'an 14:7]

Angels by your side & good news of Paradise

"And those who disbelieved will [then] say, "Our Lord, show us those who misled us of the jinn and men [so] we may put them under our feet that they will be among the lowest."41:29 "Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah " and then  remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised." We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish]. As accommodation from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful." 41:30-32 Explanation of these verses by Ustadh nouman Ali khan

Explanation of ayah 27 to 30   of Surah Al-Furqan done by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan. "And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way. Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend.
