The
Muslimah doesn't have
Pride

It is narrated that the Prophet
Muhammed Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam has said: One who has even a particle of
pride in his heart, shall not enter paradise. (Muslim)
Pride comes when you see your
intelligence,
wealth,
friends,
influence,
life
as your own achievements, instead of as gifts from ALLAH, the Al-Mighty.
When you finally view them as responsibilities that you must fulfill, you
will be thankful for these gifts, and be afraid that you will be unable to
fulfill them. The syukur and fear (khauf) will drown away the pride.
Remember,
you will not bring even an atom of wealth, stocks, bonds, land or property,
to the grave.
you will not bring a string of degrees or qualifications from prestigious
Universities to the grave.
you will not bring your circle of friends, powerful connections,
celebrities, and peers who hail you, to your grave.
you will not bring your beloved parents, children, spouses or relatives to
the grave.
you will not bring your fame, reputation, honour to the grave.
you will not bring your millions of adoring fans, and admiring colleagues
to the grave.
you will not bring any of the fine clothes in your closet, nor the expensive furniture
in your living room, nor the million dollar apartment you
saved a lifetime to purchase, to the grave.
you will not even be able to prevent your carefully groomed hair, face and
body from rotting, eaten by worms and maggots, when you are in the grave.
So when you have died, and your body has rotted away, you will then be asked by
Allah,
where is the dunia (all that you once possessed) that you so loved?
where is the dunia (all that you once possessed) that you were so proud
of?
where are your supporters (the admiring fans, the loving family, the
approving peers, the powerful colleagues, the people who idolized and praised
you always), who worshipped you?
The grim reality sets in ...you are now as you were when you were in your
mothers womb.
Then, you were in the dark womb of your mother, completely helpless, at
Allah's mercy, and .....you had no friends, no wealth, no power, no authority,
no knowledge, no property ... you possessed nothing, and you were then born, in
humility, naked, covered in slime... you were nothing.
Then Allah showered you with His love and guidance, and gave you a portion of
this worldly life, so that you may be thankful, and grateful, and that you bow
humbly in submission.
But no, Man is rebellious.
36:77. Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and
female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open
opponent!
Today, once again, you are in the womb, the dark, dark womb of Mother
Earth, completely helpless, at Allah's mercy, and ...once again, you have no
friends, no wealth, no power, no authority, no knowledge, no property... you
possess nothing, you have come full circle.
You are waiting to stand trial, on Judgement Day, a Day when you will face Allah
in humility and fear, naked, covered in sin... and you will have to
account to Allah, what you did with His gifts. And if you had walked the earth
with pride, today, you will truly fear Allah, but that fear will not help
you. Because...
One who has even a particle of pride in his heart, shall not enter paradise.
(Muslim)
Seek out your pride, and repent.
Every single atom. Beg Allah for His Mercy and His help to cleanse your
hearts. Seek out Allah's blessings to you, and be grateful.
Every single blessing, From being able to wake up, to being able to swallow,
see, smell and walk, For the gift of health, Wealth, Education, Realization,
Happiness, Love, Rizq, Fresh air, Clean water, Food on the table... The list in
endless. Only that, sometimes, we are too blind to see.
[31:18] And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor
walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not each
arrogant boaster.
Oh Mankind, Fear Allah! He Possesses the Heavens and the Earth, and all that
lies in between. And, we, his creation, possess nothing. Realize, repent,
and humble yourself before your Rabb.
