Do not settle for less, foster Ehsan! Ehsan is to be mindful of Allah swt all the time according to the Hadeeth e Jibraeel.(As every thing we do is worship if we do it for him). When we smile at a person who might have hurt us for Allah's sake that is Ehsan. When we help someone and it is not fard then that is Ehsan. When we answer an accusation or a bad deed with a good one, that is Ehsan! When we return something we borrowed as soon as possible, that is Ehsan. That extra hour you put in above your duty to give it your best , that is ehsan ! The effort to beautify every simple action of daily life for the sake of Allah is Ehsan. Ehsan helps maintain the balance in society by eliminating the effects of evil. It is a fruit of Iman. Ehsan is what binds humanity and that is why Allah (SWT) loves the Mohseneen! #havefaith #surrender
THE MODERN SKEPTIC
What’s so wrong with the modern skeptic is his adherence to a unique flexible rigidity. Weird?!. Paradoxical?! Exactly! His inability to actually break the barriers of logic which provide him with a very sharp, intelligent and often correct ( yet incomplete) view of this world and life are also a major cause of his addictive yet comfortable seclusion. Breaking barriers means being ready to get uncomfortable. Getting ready to be vulnerable. It takes a lot of guts to be inclusive. Not easy to walk the talk. Skepticism should teach one to question ones own comfort and choices. Weighing ones own limitations constantly against a universal criterion. Breaking the barriers also means being ready to learn. Learn to see the truth. Learn to accept our own limitations and learn to accept that we could be actually wrong. It also sometimes means to defy the most logical obvious reality in order to defy ones own self and surrender. It is this sort of skepticism that actually led Ibrahim (AS)
