His Generosity


"When my servants ask thee (O, Muhammad) concerning Me, tell them I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every supplicant when he calleth on Me." ... al-Baqarah 2:186

......................................................................

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If anyone transgresses and receives punishment in this world, God is too just to repeat the punishment of His servant in the next. And if anyone transgresses and God conceals it and forgives him, He is too generous to go back upon a thing He has forgiven." [at-Tirmidhi]

This is a refreshing entry to read in the morning as I am very much in need not to have repeated punishment or having the flaws exposed. Amen. Ar-Rahman indeed....

ar-Rahman, ar-Rahim... He loves us so much, it is we who don't reciprocate enough... We always forget about Him although he's very near

esprit,
although we are constantly forgetful of His Mercy and Presence, our strength is to be able to always get up and refresh our faith in him - time and again.

though some say it is a weakness, i say, that is a blessing. so rejoice in that :)

wallahu'alam
