And One More Thing #12: Preserve
Ramadān Reflection
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
I have a weird habit. I would always save the best for last. If I was eating a pack of candy, It would be hard for me to give the last bit of it. If I bought a bunch of clothes, I would wear the best last. You would know I truly love a gift in how much I keep it unused. I would bring it out and look at it, sometimes try it on or just smell it and put it back neatly.
Now that I think about it, my priorities maybe in reverse. But I digress..
And these beloved treasures that I would hide really do not last forever. I mean they could not even try.
Now what if we could preserve something we love forever?
Relationships?
Money?
A book?
Yes! It is possible.
How?
Give it or do it for Allah and only for His sake.
Did you hear of the Sahaba who preserved his garden?
Abu Talha (رضي الله عنه) presented himself to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O, Prophet of Allah! I love Bir Ha very much. As Allah wants us to spend precisely that which we love, I make over that garden to be spent in the path of Allah as you please.”
Allahu Akbar!
And with Allah, nothing is ever lost.
I leave you in Allah’s Trust because with Him, nothing is ever lost.
Fi Amanillah!
