Conversing With Your Lord - Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem

Assalamualaikum...... Today I would like to share a very beneficial talk by Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem. In this talk, Sheikh Assim touches on the importance of our 5 times daily prayers. Several important points in the talk are as follow: 1. If a Muslim man or woman does not carry out his/her obligatory duty in completing the 5 times daily prayers as good as possible, they are lacking in so many ways in being a Muslim. 2. The khalimah Allahu Akhbar! which you say during the prayer is so meaningful. This is because it means ALLAH IS THE GREATEST. The greatest in what sense? IT MEANS ALLAH IS THE GREATEST OF ALL. HE is the greatest than the problems we have in life, HE is the greatest in all the worries we have in life, HE is the greatest than all the fears we have in life, HE is the greatest than the people that try to discriminate us and many more. So, while saying these word in our prayers, let us remember that nothing is greater than Allah in this world and in the here after. When we do this, In shaa Allah, we could concentrate more in our prayers and we become calmer in facing the burdens that we have in life. Do listen further to this beautiful talk as it gives a lot of information on the meaning and benefits of praying 5 times a day in Islam.

SURAH AL KAHFI: THE HISTORY AND THE BENEFITS OF READING IT

Assalamualaikum......

Hope that everyone is in the blessings of Allah everyday and every second. I know I have not been writing much but I never forget about my readers here. Today, I just wanna share my own personal experience reciting Surah Al Kahfi. A few years ago, I was really in a very devastated condition and was missing someone dearly to me so much. Then, I read Surah Al Kahfi without knowing of the benefits reading it at that time. What I knew, reading Al Quran would give calmness in one's sadness and worries. So, I read the surah and I did not know why my tears just could not stop. I cried endlessly as I read it. Immediately after I finished reciting the surah, I prayed to Allah..... And..... With Allah's mercy as well as miracle, the next day Allah sent to me the person that I missed so much, without me expected it! Alhamdulillah, my sadness was healed. So, dear friends and family.... Try it. Whenever you have the time and when you are in need of assistance as well as calmness...... Do recite Al Quran. In Shaa Allah, Allah's assistance would come to you in many unexpected ways. :)
