iman..a huge matter often forgotten
recently a jamaah from sudan came to my place. they stayed at surau.. the purpose juz wanna learn good things from us n to invite people to love our deen. after maghrib prayer i took a chance 2 listen 2 da talk given by our brother from da jamaah. i was immediately got attracted 2 da talk as da way da speaker gave his talk was like a father 2 a son. he said we muslims all around da world posses a great n most precious thing dat we often overlook…which is iman. its more valueable dan any other things in da world..big houses, money, cars even certificates. he said da larger amount of iman we posses da more we r particular wit our deen. he gave an example of a story of saidina Abu Bakr r.a. 1 day his slave gave him an amount of dates which was his routine after he collected some money. then suddenly Abu Bakr r.a asked wit curiosity how did his slave got da dates. its a weird thing as he never asked such question before..but dis is how Allah wants 2 protect his beloved slave. then his slave told him dat bfore he embrace Islam he was a fortuneteller. after he embraced islam a man came n gave him an amount of money coz all of his prediction was totally correct. da money he got he used it 2 buy dates n some he gave em 2 his master who is Abu Bakr r.a. listened 2 da story Abu Bakr r.a without any doubt put his finger into his mouth n forced his body 2 vomit. n all da food include da dates he had taken were out…Rasulullah s.a.w said dat if Abu Bakr’s iman were 2 put on a mizan n compare it wit iman of da whole ummah then Abu Bakr’s iman will b heavier. da hadith n da story of Abu Bakr r.a really made me wonder of how iman really givs influence 2 one’s lifestyle. da larger da amount of iman da more a person b particular of his deen.to b continued..
