A humble servant – with Dr. Omar Abdel Kafi.<\/h1>\nENGLISH TRANSLATION<\/em>\n
What are the Signs that Allah is pleased with you? <\/span>\n\nThat Allah has accepted your deeds?<\/span>\n\nOr accepted this action or that act of remembrance?<\/span>\n\nFirst , A slave should always humble him\/herself to Allah swt <\/span>\n\n\u201cGlory is to Allah and His messenger, and the believers\u201d <\/span>\n\nThis is the case in worldly dealings <\/span>\n\nBut when dealing with Allah we should be humble servants.<\/span>\n\nWhat does it mean to be a humble servant ?<\/span>\n\nThe more humble a human is, and the more he\/she feels how much they are in need of<\/span>\n\nAllah, the more they are victorious.<\/span>\n\nAllah swt said in the Quran: \u201cAnd Allah has already made you victorious at Badr, when <\/span>you were weak (lowly)\u201d (Quran 3:123)\n\nAllah didn\u2019t say Glorious, He said \u201clowly\u201d, lowly to Allah, not anyone else. <\/span>\n\nBecause a human should not be lowly or humble him\/herself to anyone but Allah swt. <\/span>\n\nAfter Allah swt we should be humble towards our parents<\/span>\n

\u201cAnd lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy..\u201d (Quran 17:24)<\/span><\/h2>\nBecause parents are granted the status of Rahmah \u201cmercy\u201d from Allah swt. <\/span>\n\nTherefore, if I am humble with my parents, it is as if I have humbled myself to Allah swt. <\/span>\n\nWhat are the signs of acceptance from Allah swt?<\/span>\n\nHow do I know that I am part of those that Allah speaks about \u201cAllah is pleased with <\/span>\n\nthem and they are pleased with Him\u201d<\/span>\n\nHow will I be granted access\/ID card to this group of people?<\/span>\n\nFirstly, by making my actions only for Allah swt\u2019s sake and not to be a hypocrite<\/span>\n\nOr for seeking fame, or money \u00a0<\/span>\n\nBut only from fearing and loving Allah swt<\/span>\n\nThat\u2019s first. <\/span>\n\nAnother sign of Allah being happy from me<\/span>\n\nThat He opens the doors of worship for me <\/span>\n\nEven when I am not aiming at that path <\/span>\n\nAnd that He closes the doors of disobedience for me <\/span>\n\nEven when I am walking towards disobeying Him<\/span>\n\nAnd that which I considered minor, becomes a huge deal <\/span>\n\nAnd to feel that I have a natural inclination towards Quran <\/span>\n\nWhat does it mean to be a person of Quran or a person inclining towards Prophet Muhammad <\/span>\ufdfa ?<\/span>\n\nIf i read an ayah of the Quran or a Hadith of the Prophet \ufdfa , and it mentions a good <\/span>\n\ntrait, I find the Quran and the Sunnah are like a mirror reflecting my own character, or vice versa. <\/span>\n\nTherefore, I embody the Quran and Sunnah<\/span>\n\nWhen people see me they feel I resemble the Quran and Sunnah <\/span>\n\nAnd this is a sign of Allah being happy from me <\/span>\n\nAnother sign that Allah is pleased with me, <\/span>Is when I do a good deed I pray that it stays a secret and that nobody finds out about it <\/span>\n\nNot my partner, my children or my friends and acquaintances<\/span>\n\nI only want Allah to know and be pleased with me.<\/span><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
