Short in time frame but massive in reward!

Some of the blessings of Al-Duha prayer 💎

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until the sun has risen, then he prays two Rak’ah, then for him is the reward like that of a Hajj and Umrah.” He said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Complete, complete, complete.'” (at-Tirmidhi, 586)

Abu Huraira reported: My dear friend the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, advised me to do three deeds and I will never abandon them until I die: to fast three days of every month, to perform forenoon prayer, and to sleep after performing the witr prayer.

Abu Dharr reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Upon every one of your joints in the morning is charity due. Every glorification of Allah is charity. Every praise of Allah is charity. Every declaration of the oneness of Allah is charity. Every exaltation of Allah is charity. Enjoining good and forbidding evil is charity. It is enough of that to perform two cycles of prayer in the forenoon.”

・・・
I was either teary-eyed or full-blown weeping through most of this book. Sometimes for Asmaa and Amr’s love story, sometimes for the conviction of their faith in Allah (and for lack of mine) and sometimes at the thought of Ruqaya looking at her baba’s picture.  I don’t know how you did it Asmaa, you you didn’t make it sound easy. In fact, you made sure you told just how incredibly hard every day has been. Yet, you made it so evident that as believers, our lives could be so much easier if truly put our trust in Allah. I could feel your pain through your words but then you’d mention one verse from the Quran and leave me in awe of your perspective towards life. Your absolute surrender to Allah’s Qadr is a treasure you left me longing to attain. You left me wondering how someone who’s gone through one of the biggest tribulations anyone can go through in this world continues to practice tawakkul at its best.

In a world where our faith is so easily shaken by the slightest of changes in our life plans and the smallest of hurdles towards achieving our goals, ‘A Temporary Gift’ dissects the mindset of a believer dealing with immense trauma. Seeing Asmaa live through the pain and darkness of her loss would’ve felt nothing short of a miracle but having marvelled at her husband’s life and absorbing her thought process made me see how Allah Blesses His special people with the ultimate power of faith. Faith in its purest, truest form. Absolute unshakeable trust in the Allah’s wisdom. The kind that many of us only wish to achieve. 

I feel like it’s a book I can read from many perspectives. As a beautiful love story, as a spiritually uplifting read and as a strong reminder of the fragility of life.
