By Sh Abdul Baarie ath-Thubaitie (Imaam of the Haram)

The Almighty Allaah says: 'But honour, power and glory belong to Allaah, His Messenger and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not.' (Al-Munaafiqoon: 8).

He also says: 'Whoever desires honour, power and glory then to Allaah belongs all honour, power and glory.' (Faatir: 10).

These above-quoted verses contain guidance for all mankind; that they should seek for honour and glory from Allaah alone. Whoever believes in Allaah and the prophet hood of Muhammad should take pride and glory in his faith, have self-dignity, give his allegiance to the religion of Islaam and be distinguished in his dress and manners.

The glory of knowledge and Eemaan is totally different from the glory derived from sin and aggression, for the real glory is the one that is sought from Allaah and not from any human being. As for the mean soul, it is neither useful nor can it bring any good unless it is totally free from its meanness and knows that noble life can never be achieved except by turning to Allaah and sacrificing oneself to please Him.

In order that our life may be full with the real meaning of pride, glory and honour, Islaam makes the words of Athaan begin with 'Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar' (Allaah is Greatest, Allaah is Greatest). Yes, Allaah is greater than everything in magnificence, power and wealth. He is the Great One, the Most-High.

Therefore, let those who ask for glory, honour, life and wealth from the rich people remember that Allaah is richer than all, and let those who seek for honour from great men remember that Allaah is greater than all.

Fellow Muslims! Allaah ordains that when we move from a position to another in Salaah, we say 'Allaahu Akbar,' and say, 'Subhaana Rabbiyal-Atheem,' while in bowing position and say, Subhaana Rabiyal A'laa,' (meaning: glory be to my Lord the Most High) while in prostration. No one is higher above the creation except Allaah. This gives you the real meaning of glory and honour with which man knows his worth. read more

“O Allah! Your forgiveness is far more than my sins and (instead of my deeds) I have much more hope in Your Mercy”

BENEFIT: It comes in a Hadith that a person came crying to Rasulullah SAW saying… O my sins! O my sins!! Rasulullah SAW taught the person this Dua.

Two babies were sitting in their cribs, when one baby shouted to the other, "Are you a little girl or a little boy?"

"I don't know," replied the other baby giggling.

"What do you mean, you don't know?" said the first baby.

"I mean I don't know how to tell the difference," was the reply. "Well, I do," said the first baby chuckling, "I'll climb into your crib and find out."

He carefully maneuvered himself into the other baby's crib, then quickly disappeared beneath the blankets. After a couple of minutes, he resurfaced with a big grin on his face. "You're a little girl, and I'm a little boy,"
he said proudly.

"You're ever so clever," cooed the baby girl, "but how can you tell?"

"It's quite easy really," replied the baby boy, "you've got pink socks and I've got blue ones."
