The wisdom behind the letter ا & م

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Allahumma Solli ‘Ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wasohbihi wasallim.

Bless Jum’ah morning everyone!

Subhanallah.

Subhanallah.

Subhanallah.

This 3 days has been blessed mashaAllah with the presence of a mashaAllah Ulama’ from Yaman, Tarim Habib Umar bin Hafiz. You can know and read more about Habib here inshaAllah : http://www.simplyislam.com.sg/main/about/our-scholars/habib-umar-bin-hafiz/

💚When we were at Sultan mosque, one of the beautiful takeaways Habib gave us was: Choose Rasulullah. Love Rasulullah. Follow Rasulullah. Because to gain Allah’s love is only through Rasulullah.

Habib shared the importance of Solat Jemaah. And in Solat Jemaah has its Sunnah. So follow the sunnah, because if we leave one sunnah in solat Jemaah it will lead to lack of Unity in the Ummah mashaAllah.

💚When we were at Al-Falah mosque, one of the important takeaway Habib shared was: Do good to those who hurt you.

Habib shared the story of Abu Lahb, Rasulullah’s uncle who hated him. There’s one time, Abu Lahab dig a deep hole in a forest and cover it with leaves, so that when Rasulullah walked over it, he will fall. But instead with Allah’s plan, it is Abu Lahab who fell, and Rasulullah came for help.

When we were at Madrasah Aljunied, one of the mashaAllah takeaways Habib said was: Speak only the good, or keep quiet.

When we were at Ba’lawie mosque, I am awed by Habib’s amazing du’a :

‘Oh Allah you are the best Cure.

If there is sickness in our heart, cure them.

If there is Arrogance in our heart, cure them.

If there is gossiping in our heart cure them.’

Subhanallah.

Subhanallah.

Subhanallah.

I’ve always dream to bring my husband and kids to experience Tarim in Yaman but ya Allah, Habib himself came to us and showered us many gems and jewels of Love of Islam.

This brings me to my sharing today on the purpose of life.

I feel in general all of us know why Allah created human.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ – 51:56

I did not created the Jin and man except to worship me.

My teacher shared with me,

then why Allah created woman?

And why Allah created man?

At that time, I was wondering the answer too.

She replied :

The answer is in the wisdom behind the letter Alif and Mim.

Allah created woman as an UMام : To educate.

Allah created man as an Imam امام: To lead.

ام + امام : امۃ

So as a parent,

We are doing Da’wah to our kids.

We are raising an Ummah.

We are raising Believers.

We are raising people who benefit others.

MashaAllah.

MashaAllah.

MashaAllah.

This journey to Allah,

This journey to Rasulullah,

This journey to Jannah,

Is surely not easy.

So please and always,

Take care of the heart.

Because Allah never look at our face and our physical, but Allah looks at our heart and our action.
