Asalamo Ekum, this is your host Nosheen, and welcome to another
episode of Journey to Janna. Before we start today's episode,
I want to put in a disclaimer that I am not a scholar of any
kind and all my information is taken from credible sources.
Just wanted to get that out of the way so we can start today's
episode, which I am very, very excited about.
Because this is the very first episode of my new series,
Soulful Moments. I was wondering what the first
episode. Should be about.
And I realized what better way to start than to remind you that
Allah loves you. It's a beautiful topic that
touches the core of our faith. Unlike in this dunya where who
we are and what we look like and how much money we make is often
the means to which people use to assess if they like us or not.
And Allah doesn't care about all of these conditional things.
Allah's love is unconditional. I want to remind you that
Allah's love is unparalleled. And it has no bounds.
Allah's love for his creation for us isn't based on our
wealth, on our status or how we look like.
Allah reminds us of this in Surah Al Imran chapter 3 verse
31. Say oh Muhammad, if you should
love Allah then follow me. So Allah will love you and
forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful. Allah's love is an invitation.
To draw closer to him and to follow the teachings of his
Prophet Selahari was Salam and seek forgiveness for our
shortcomings. On top of that, Allah's love
isn't limited to our moments of happiness and success, but it
also extends to our times of hardship and despair.
We can see this through the story of Prophet Ayu Bale Selato
Assalam, who endured severe trials and yet he remained
steadfast in his faith. He was a devout servant of
Allah, wealthy and blessed with a loving family.
However, he was put through a series of trials where he ended
up losing his wealth, he lost his health and he also lost his
family. Imagine losing all of that, like
imagine how hard it was for him. However, despite all of his
sufferings, he never lost hope and Allah's love and Allah's
mercy. In the end, Allah's love did
prevail and Prophet Ayub Alais Lato Islam was restored to his
former health and. His wealth he became healthy
again and he had his family again as a testament to the
power of having unwavering faith or Iman and Allah's limitless
love. Another verse that highlights
Allah's love for his creation for Again for you is found in
the Quran and. In chapter or pseudo 50 verse 16
and we have certainly created man and we know what his soul
whispers to him and we are closer to him than his juggler
vein. This reverse reminds you that a
lot the all knowing and all aware is not only aware of your
innermost thoughts and feelings but is also closer to you than
your own juggler vein which if you didn't know is a vein that
is located. In your neck he is saying that
he is closer to you than even a vein that is inside of your
body, which means that his love and attention are always
present, they're always there and he was always there for you
for a few moments. close your eyes and if you aren't able to
at the moment, then just breathe slowly in and out and the hustle
and bustle of life. It's really easy to forget just
how deeply you are cherished by Allah's bhanumathala.
Allah loves you, and His love for you knows no bounds.
It's a love that surpasses understanding, A love that is
always there for you, guiding you, protecting you, embracing
you even in your darkest and lowest moments.
In the midst of this gunya, it's natural to feel overwhelmed or
feel lost. But remember, Allah's love is
unwavering. He knows your struggles.
Your fears and your hopes. He sees the tears you shed and
the solitude of the night and the smile that lights up your
face when you find soulless in His remembrance.
Allah loves you and He is ever merciful, ever compassionate.
No matter how far you may feel from Him, know that Allah's love
reaches you, surrounds you, and draws you closer to Him.
There is no sin that you can commit that is too great, no
mistake, too significant, that can deter the love that Allah
has for you. His love.
Is a beacon of hope that is guiding you back to the path of
righteousness. And through the joys and
sorrows, triumphs and the defeats, Allah's love will be
your constant companion. It's a love that uplifts you,
forgives you, and empowers you to rise above your challenges.
Allah's love will never let you go.
Even when you falter or when you stumble in the depths of
despair, when you feel alone, know that Allah is there,
holding your hand, guiding you back to the light.
His love transcends your mistakes and reaches out to you
even in your darkest moments. Remember that no matter how far
you stray from Allah, Allah's door is always open for you to
return, seeking His love and His forgiveness.
As we continue our journey to Janna, let us embrace Allah's
love, knowing that we are cherished.
And valued beyond measure, throughout this following week,
remind yourself of Allah's love. Remind yourself that He is with
you wherever you are. He sees and knows what you're
going through, and He is giving you unconditional love.
Until then, may Allah's love and peace be with you all as Salamar
ekum.
