اَلْقُدُّوْسُ – Al Quddoos: The Most Pure: Free from all faults

Who is the most pure? Allah Ta’ala is Most Pure.

Who is free from all faults? Allah Ta’ala is free from all faults.

Sometimes we are good and sometimes we are bad. Our actions are mixed up in good and in bad. Our Allah Ta’ala is completely pure, not mixed up with any bad.

We are very weak. We forget and we make mistakes all the time. We are full of faults. Our Allah Ta’ala is free from all faults. Our Allah Ta’ala never forgets and never makes mistakes.

We must love our Allah Ta’ala who has not a single fault. He is Al-Quddoos, The Most Pure, Free from all faults.

ُاَلشَّكُوْر Ash Shakoor – Allah Ta’ala is Very Thankful / Very Appreciative

Our Allah Ta’ala is the Most Appreciative. He appreciates everything we do for Him. Even if we do a little for Allah Ta’ala, our Kind and Loving Allah Ta’ala appreciates it, becomes happy with us and gives us much, much more.

But when it comes to friends, even if we do everything for them, they do not appreciate what we do for them and are never happy with us. They always want more and more from us. It’s so hard to keep everyone happy, but it is so easy to keep our One Allah Ta’ala happy.

So let us keep on doing only for Allah Ta’ala and spending only for Allah Ta’ala and He will always appreciate whatever we do for Him and in return will always give us much more.

الرزاق – Ar Razzaaiq: The Provider

Who feed us? Who feeds our parents? Who feeds the fish in the sea? Who feeds the birds in the sky? Who feeds the ants in the ground?

The fish are swimming and Allah Ta’ala is feeding them. They don’t go to school and university. Allah ta’ala does not need schools and universities. The grade 12 metric certificate and the university degree does not give us food. Allah Ta’ala alone feeds us. The birds are flying in the sky. They don’t have shops and jobs. Allah Ta’ala feeds them. Shops and jobs can’t feed us. Allah Ta’ala alone feeds us. Allah Ta’ala knows how many potatoes we are going to eat and how much milk we are going to drink. No one can change it. Whatever we need, we should ask Allah Alone. Only Allah Ta’ala can provide us with our needs.

مَالِكُ الْمُلْكِ – Maalikul Mulk: The Owner of the Kingdom 

الحفيظ – Al Hafeez: The Protector

If Allah Ta’ala protects us, nothing can harm us.

Usually we hear of jinnaat and jadu, and we get scared. But as a Muslim we forgot Allah Ta’ala. We need to turn to Allah Ta’ala for protection. Read our Salaah, Quran, Zikr and Duas. Insha Allah Allah Ta’ala will protect us.

Today there is a lot of stealing, hijacking and killing. Once again we need to turn to Allah Ta’ala for protection. No doubt we put the best alarm system, strongest burglar guard, we keep a gun and we have the police’s number, but we forgot Allah Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala is our protector.

Many car accidents take place. When we sit in a car we do not know if we will come alive or not. Keep turning to Allah Ta’ala for protection. Ask Allah to take us safely and to return us home safely.

Remember, Allah Ta’ala is The Protector

العليم – Al ‘Aleem: The All Knowing

Allah alone knows everything. He knows the past, the present and the future. Allah Ta’ala knows all that is in the sky, beneath the earth, in the depths of the deep blue ocean. Allah Ta’ala knows how many leaves on the trees, how many drops of rain fall from the sky and how many grains of sand on the earth. We look in the mirror everyday but we don’t know how many strands of hair on our head. Allah Ta’ala knows how many strands there are, how long each strand is, how many fell off and how many still to grow. Allah Ta’ala knows how heavy the mountains are and how many litres of water in the sea. Allah Ta’ala knows what is in our hearts. At times we smile on the outside, but inside we hate the person we are smiling at. Allah Ta’ala knows our thoughts. At times we are in Salaah but our minds are at home or playing with the friends or eating or drinking.

FOOD: Muslims only eat halaal food, no haraam food. If we eat even one morsel of haraam, for 40 days our duaas are not accepted.

Our meat and chicken must be bought from a Muslim butchery or Muslim supermarket, and not from Spar, Checkers, Shoprite, Pick N Pay etc. since these are not run by Muslims.

Don’t just eat from any place that has a halaal sign. Check up first. If there is a halaal sign on a beer bottle, this does not make it halaal.

Many sticky, jelly sweets have gelatine, pig fat.

Be CAREFUL. Eat only what is Halaal and stay away from Haraam

البصير – Al Baseer:The All Seeing

Our Imaani Muzaakarh for this term is Al-Baseer. (Allah is All Seeing)

Ask the pupils, “Who can see us all the time?” Their answer must be “Allah Ta’ala”.

Say to them, “We are very weak. If we look in front of us, we cannot see what is behind us, and if someone puts a sheet of paper before our eyes, then we will not be able to see what is in front as well. Our Allah Ta’ala sees everything. Nothing can hide from Allah Ta’ala, even if we are inside our home, inside our room, under our bed, under our blanket, Allah Ta’ala is watching us all the time.”

We in South Africa cannot see with our eyes what is happening in Malawi. Allah Ta’ala can see all the countries and cities of the world at one time. We cannot see in the dark, we need light. Our Allah Ta’ala can see the small black ant under the big black rock in a pitch black night with no need for any light. We get tired. Our eyes close and we sleep. If we try to stay awake, then we will start catching fish, our eyes will keep on closing and our heads will keep on falling. Our Allah Ta’ala is always watching us. Our Allah Ta’ala never gets tired and never ever sleeps. Before we do anything or before we go anywhere we must remind our self that our Allah Ta’ala is always watching us.
