Say Al hamdulillah
(article taken from brother Rafei’s )
Let us all say Alhamdullilah and thank our Lord for all that we have. It seems never to occur to us that nothing we have is guaranteed (not tomorrow, not even our next breath). Just a reminder that it is not worth being ungrateful and dwelling on what we do not have when in an instant we may lose what Allah has given us. It may be a valid assumption to make, that human nature only allows us to appreciate something in its absence. Think of our countless brothers and sisters who lose their loved ones, their homes, their possessions, their entire lives work in an instant (and I am sure this will inspire us to say Alhamdullilah)…
The PROPHET (P.B.U.H) is reported to have said the following.
““Take advantage of five things before five: Your youth before old-age; your health before illness; your wealth before poverty; your free time before becoming occupied, and your life before death. (Tirmizhi) “

acceptance of du’a
Presence of the Heart:Always make sure that your heart is mindful when you are supplicating because Allah does not answer a Du`a from an inattentive heart. Ibn Rajab says, “This is the greatest condition for the acceptance of Du`a.” Abu-Hurairah narrated that Allah’s messenger, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, “Invoke Allah while you are certain to be answered and know that Allah does not answer a Du`a from a heart which is inattentive and unmindful” (Tirmithi). Therefore, one must supplicate with total concentration and avoid distraction.

who is the prophet Muhammad saw?
The last and final prophet that God sent to humanity was the Prophet Muhammad (Salalahu Alayyhi Wa Salam/ Peace and Blessings be upon him)
Muhammad (SAW) explained, interpreted and lived the teachings of Islaam.
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the greatest of all prophets for many reasons, but mainly because the results of his mission have brought more people into the pure belief in One God than any other prophet.
Even though other religious communities claimed to believe in One God, over time they had corrupted their beliefs by taking their prophets and saints as intercessors with Almighty God.
Some religions believe their prophets to be manifestations of God, “God Incarnate” or the “Son of God”. All of these false ideas lead to the creature being worshipped instead of the Creator, which contributed to the idolatrous practice of believing that Almighty God can be approached through intermediaries. In order to guard against these falsehoods, the Prophet Muhammad(SAW) always emphasised that he was only a human-being tasked with the preaching of God’s message. He taught Muslims to refer to him as “the Messenger of God and His Slave”.
To Muslims, Muhammad (SAW) is the supreme example for all people – he was the exemplary prophet, statesman, military leader, ruler, teacher, neighbour, husband, father and friend. Unlike other prophets and messengers, the Prophet Muhammad lived in the full light of history. Muslims don’t need to have “faith” that he existed and that his teachings are preserved – they know it to be a fact. Even when his followers only numbered a few dozen, Almighty God informed Muhammad(SAW) that he had be sent as a mercy to all of mankind. Because people had distorted or forgotten God’s messages, God took it upon Himself to protect the message revealed to Muhammad(SAW). This was because Almighty God promised not to send another messenger after him.
Since all of God’s messengers have preached the message of Islaam – i.e. submission to the will of God and the worship of God alone – Muhammad(SAW) is actually the last prophet of Islaam, not the first.
