Decorate Your Home

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

ا سَـــــــلاَمُ عَلَيــْــكُم وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكـَـاتُه

There was a small family that was financially stable, the husband, Reiichi earned enough but lived with his family in a simple, little hut. They didn't have proper carpet just bits and pieces of it here and there, no big and nice furniture nor a big television, just a simple little house with no luxurious stuff.

The people of the community who lived nearby used to visit Reiichi's wife who lived in that small hut and they would see how she runs down her home and they would talk among themselves in the community. 

"Have you seen what dump they live in, it's a shame! They don't even have chairs to sit on nor carpets. The wallpapers are peeled. What do they do with the money they earn? Her husband has a high paid job!"

One day one of the woman's friends came to her house and while they were sitting and chatting,  her friend said, 'Your husbands has a well paid job so why don't you get this house done up?'

Reiichi's wife replied,  'We've got another house so we use our money on that instead because we don't see the point of spending it on here'.

Her friend was surprised and said 'Oh I didn't know you had another house, where is this house?'

Reiichi's lovely wife replied...



 'In Jannah'

"I guarantee a house in Jannah for one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the right; and I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Jannah for one who has good manners.'' [Hadith]

Let's ask ourselves...

How have we decorate our homes? InsyaAllah let us do good actions and deeds each day and slowly your house will be built in bricks of gold and silver. The more good deeds you do your house will have planning permission to grow :) Let's utilise our wealth and help the orphans, the widows, the ill. Let's utilise our wealth to help build mosques and InfaqFiSabilillah.

 Participate in building a Masjid. When Muslims Pray, you earn.

 Donate a wheelchair to a hospital. When patients Sse, you earn.

 Give a copy of Qur'an to someone. When he/she Reads, you earn.

 Place water cooler in a public place. When people Drink, you earn.

 Plant a tree. When people & animals use it for Food or Shade, you earn.

May ALLAH grant us all beautiful homes in the hereafter. We should not think that we have killed our nafs and thus become unmindful.

My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise
