Goodness versus
Ill-gotten (Thief)
Goodness
is a human act and also purity of thought and conduct. The merit of it lies in
the spirit and the intention underling it. Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’Ala)
promises the believing men and women rewards for their good deeds.
Trust,
honesty, and sincerity are very important to health and to cordial relationships
among mankind. They are the foundation of security and comfort.
We
must to report to our readers and to bring to their attention, Muslims and
non-Muslims alike, to be wary of con-artists. During the last month, the Center
received calls from two individuals who claimed that they were Muslims from
Saudi Arabia, and that they wanted to help build a Center for us. Again, a
caller contacted us, claiming that he was a Muslim from Kuwait. On both
occasions they associated themselves with large organizations in Saudi Arabia
and Kuwait. (For more details, please visit our website or contact the Center.)
It
is noteworthy to mention that before this incident the Center has had
correspondence only with those who follow
the path of excellence of Nabiy Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi
Waalihi Wasalam) and the commands of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’Ala) with
sincerity and good intention, to spread
the message of Almighty Lord for those whose hearts will turn to His true path
throughout the world, for the
love, care, and brotherhood of all humanity. May The Almighty
Lord shower His choicest blessing on those who do good with
goodness, Ameen.
O’
Lord! Accept my apology. How many of my stumblings hast Thou protected, how many
of my detestable acts has Thou averted, and how many of my undeserving praises
hast Thou spread abroad! Grant me that I should be grateful to Thee, O’ Lord!
Forgive every sin that I have committed and every error that I have erred.
O’ Lord! Forgive me my sins as would hinder my supplication. I was
deceived with vain hopes whereby I was led astray, and fate facilitated this
respect. O' Lord! Whosoever intendeth evil against me, let ill befall on him and
frustrate him who plots against me, and assign for me a place in Thy presence
with the best of Thy bondsmen, and grant me a nearer abode to Thee, for verily
that position cannot be attained except through Thy grace, and treat me
benevolently. O’ Lord, strengthen us to uphold our spirituality and protect
us, Ameen.

O' Lord, record our good deeds and leave us delighted with what is written of goodness concerning us, Ameen. The Glorious Qur'an says,“And Allah gave them the reward in this world and the excellent reward of the hereafter. Verily Allah loveth those who do good (to others). Whoever intercedeth with a good intercession shall have a share therefrom.” 3:147 & 4:85.
