‘The true servants of the Most Merciful are those who behave gently and with humility on earth, and whenever the foolish quarrel with them, they reply with [words of] peace.’
[25: 63]

And those who are patient, seeking the countenance of their Lord, and establish prayer and spend from what We have provided for them secretly and publicly and prevent evil with good – those will have the good consequence of [this] home – 

Gardens of perpetual residence; they will enter them with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, [saying], 

"Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home." [13:22-24]

Gratitude

 

  “Gratitude is built upon five pillars: Submissiveness to Allah from the one expressing gratitude; lov­ing Him for it; acknowledging His favour; praising Him for it; and not utilizing it in a way that displeases Him” ~ Ibn al-Qayyim

I am not impressed....

Amid the football fever and the excitement, there  is me. Unimpressed and down in the mouth. :(
I am not a spoilsport but I just can not see the point. The world has so many problems and I find that this football hysteria is promoting ethnicism and taking people's minds off the real issues. Do I think it is a diversion? Of course I do. Is being euphoric about a team of overpaid, overindulged, overgrown, spoilt adults ( who often act like kids) and their designer womenfolk going to earn me any goals with the One Who really matters???

Of course not. So forgive me if I can not cheer.:( But I feel already better for offloading. :) Alhamdulillah!!!

While I was going through the quiz, I realised how little I know about cats. I think my pet cats, will not be too pleased with me:)

Here is some photos.

This is  our ginger cat. He is a little boy cat and he is 1 year old. 

This is our other cat, she is a little girl cat and she is 3years and 6 months old.

She is long suffering as  our Ginger cat is full of tricks. LOL

Inshallah, one day they will get on.

Thanks for reading

Beauty and Delight!

"Is not He (better than your gods) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down for you water (rain) from the sky, whereby We cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight? It is not in your ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!" 
(  سورة النمل  , An-Naml, Chapter #27, Verse #60)
