"Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious."  9.24

while i was reading this, the first ten days of Ramadhan came to mind... the days of Mercy... we recognize the mercy Allah swt has bestowed on us.. and we try to show as much as possible to others.. we try to give as much as we can back... for the sake of Allah swt.. and while thinking that.. i remembered one of the stories of the Sahabah (radhiallaho anhum)

the Prophet (saaws) was asking for contributions in the path of Allah swt.. and at this time Umar (raa) was in possession of some wealth.. and so Umar (raa) thought.. everytime a situation like this arises Abu Bakr (raa) surpasses me in the spending for the sake of Allah.  And so he thought this time i will surpass him in the amount that i give.. and he went home overjoyed with his idea and divided his property in half (one for his family and the other he took to the Prophet (saaws)).. and so the Prophet (saaws) asks him.. 'Did you leave anything for your family?' and Umar (raa) replies.. 'yes, i left one half'... at this time Abu Bakr (raa) comes... and the Prophet (saaws) puts forth the same question to him... and Abu Bakr's response was..

'i have left Allah and his Prophet for them'

(this is from memory (which is not so great).. so if i made a mistake please correct me)

Subhan'Allah.. can you imagine being that generous.. look at the difference between us and the Sahabah (raa)

 

next up: the days of magfirah...

May Allah forgive..

Subhn'Allah, even if we attempted to be a fraction of how the prophet was, we wouldn't have many problems we have today.

You know, sometimes I think what if I ever came face-to-face with Prophet Muhammad (saw). I don't think I even deserve to stand next to him for that matter. Now there is a man we all 'ought to resemble.

mashaAllah. Abu Bakr (r) ! i definitely remember this story. Abu Bakr (r) is known for his hastiness in answering the call of Allah & his extreme generosity..SUCH an amazing man. may Allah be pleased with him.

 may we all strive to attain the all the qualities of the Sahabah (r) as well as Prophet Muhammad (s)! ameen.

all of the Sahabah (R) were AWESOME in their own right, but I must say Omar (r) is my favoritest .. hehe

 this post made my day =) . jazakAllah khayr ..

Assalamualaikum,

very good post masha'Allah.

I was thinking about this the other day and I couldn't remember, then I saw ur post and thought I'd ask if you know. The first 10 days, like you said, are of Allah's Mercy. What about the middle 10 and last 10? I have read this and learned it in Islamic school but I can't recall it now. It would be really great if you could remind me insha'Allah. JazzakAllah khair
