Dhul Hijja A few reminders... No deed is more sublime and rewardable by Allah SWT than a good Deed done during the 10 days ending with Ad'haa (Darimee). Divine Mercy Your Relationship with your Lord. Prophet Yunus (AS) supplication was heard by the Angels at The Arsh (Ibn Abee Haatim). Know him whilst in prosperity and He will know you in adversity (Tirmidhi). Whoever focuses on Allah SWT with his heart then Allah SWT will fill the hearts of the Muslims with love and affection for him and guide to him and blessings will be granted quickly (Al Haithami). Whilst going through hardship and you wonder, where is Allah SWT, remember the teacher is always quiet during the exam (Timeless seeds of Advice). I make a supplication for something I want. Thus is He (SWT) gives it to me I am happy once, if He (SWT) does not give it to me then I am happy 10 times - For the first was my choice and the latter was His SWT (Timeless Seeds of Advice). If you want to know your worth with your Lord SWT then look to how He

Dhul Hijja A few reminders... 3 Courts on The Last Day, Good Deeds; Blessings and sins. Good deeds will be balanced with the Blessings, whilst the sins will be left under the grace of Allah SWT (Ibn Abee Shahbah). The worshipper and the throbbing vein. We sin without counting but we take the name of Allah SWT and count (we can count on beads but should not be content with counting). Verily Mankind is ungrateful to His Lord, Surah 100 v6 - Hassan Al Basree (rah), 'He counts the calamities and forgets the blessings,' (Ibn Katheer). Remember Allah SWT during times of ease and this will help you in adversity (Ad-Durr Al Manthoor).

Divine Mercy Dhul Hijja - A few reminders.. 'And remember My Name on the days well known...' Allah SWT is more compassionate towards His servant when He SWT meets him than the mother of a child whose bedding she spreads on a plain ground and then smoothes it with her hand (Ibn Abee Shaibash). If the hair or beard of My servant turns white then I SWT am reluctant to punish (Tabarani).
