Sadness Part I

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
In the name of Allah,Most Gracious,Most Merciful.

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: "When Allah wants to favour somebody, He tries him by putting him under some hardship."

"The bitter path of life strengthens your wisdom, faith and knowledge while the easy path of life empties your mind and heart"…Zohra Moosa

On the authority of Abu Sa'eed and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them) who said:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: "For any trouble, illness, worry, grief, hurt or sorrow which afflicts a Muslim, even the pricking of a thorn, Allah removes in its place some of his minor sins."
(Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim)

On the authority of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
I visited the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he had fever. I said to him:'Messenger of Allah! You have a very high fever'. He said: "indeed, the intensity of my fever is equivalent to two persons." I said:"That is because you have twice the recompensation'. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "That is so". He further added: "when a Muslim gets hurt with any harmful thing eg. the prick of a thorn, or even more than this, Allah wipes out in its place some of his minor sins which (sins) fall away from him as leaves shed from a tree."
(Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: This Hadith means that the more sick you get and the more trouble you face in life, the more your sins will be reduced.

Above extracted from a Book of Hadith.

Love is one of the only virtues that God has given us that breaks boundries of race, religion, culture. Love does not discriminate. I truely feel like Love should live on no matter what falls. Between two people who are in love with each other, no matter what else passes away, love should not pass away. In the world today, love should be paramount among all God's people. Insha Allah. . .
