Aya za Leo - Hadithi ya Ibrahim(The story of Abraham)

Na Ibrahim pale alipo waambia watu wake: Muabuduni Mwenyezi Mungu, na mcheni Yeye. Hiyo ndiyo kheri yenu, ikiwa nyinyi mnajua.Hakika nyinyi mnaabudu masanamu badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na mnazua uzushi. Hakika hao mnao waabudu badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu hawakumilikiini riziki yoyote. Takeni riziki kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na mumuabudu Yeye, na mumshukuru Yeye. Kwake Yeye ndio mtarudishwa. Basi haikuwa jawabu ya watu wake ila ni kusema: Muuweni au mchomeni moto! Mwenyezi Mungu akamwokoa na moto. Hakika katika hayo zipo Ishara kwa watu wanao amini. Na alisema: Hakika nyinyi mmeyashika masanamu badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu kwa mapenzi yaliyo baina yenu katika uhai wa duniani. Kisha Siku ya Kiyama mtakataana nyinyi kwa nyinyi, na mtalaaniana nyinyi kwa nyinyi. Na makaazi yenu ni Motoni. Wala hamtapata wa kukunusuruni. Lut'i akamuamini, na akasema: Mimi nahamia kwa Mola wangu Mlezi. Hakika Yeye ndiye Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye hikima. Na tulimtunukia (Ibrahim) Is-haq na Yaa'qub. Na tukajaalia katika dhuriya zake Unabii na Kitabu, na tukampa ujira wake katika dunia; naye hakika katika Akhera bila ya shaka ni katika watu wema.

And [We sent] Abraham, when he said to his people, "Worship Allah and fear Him. That is best for you, if you should know.You only worship, besides Allah , idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned."And if you [people] deny [the message] - already nations before you have denied. And there is not upon the Messenger except [the duty of] clear notification.

And the answer of Abraham's people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah , idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers."But Lut had faith in Him: He said: "I will leave home for the sake of my Lord: for He is Exalted in Might, and Wise."And We gave to Him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophet-hood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous. 

(Qur'an 29:16-17,24-27)

Kweli kabisa bado tuna miminika kwenye msikiti wake alio ujenga yeye (Mwenyezi Mungu Aridhike nae) na mwanae nabii Ismail(A.S) kwaajili ya Mwenyezi Mungu.

Embrace Your Ramadhan Hunger

A couple of days ago, I had gone to bed without eating dinner as I had eaten a very heavy late lunch and was full the rest of the day and went to bed late. The next morning I overslept, for like a few hours over my usual time to wake up. This meant I had skipped my usual breakfast routine that happens a certain time of the day. So what happened to me, I woke up from my sleep with hunger pangs. I mean i felt extreme hunger, the kind where your stomach is growling and your body is shaking, and your about to bark at or eat the first thing you see. Well I quickly drank some fresh juice (After brushing my teeth of cause), which calmed me down instantly (Amazing!).

So this got me thinking, what if that day was Ramadhan, what would I have done? What would you have done?

For Me?  

NOTHING.

No Really there is nothing to do other than riding it out. I can count the number of times that I have experienced a hunger similar to this, its either in the beginning or near the end of Ramadhan,. It usually doesn't hit you in the morning, but rather sometime in the afternoon. The feeling is temporary, it doesn't last long, probably less than an hour or so, and mostly it happens if I didn't get in the proper nutrients and water the night before. The key here is to keep yourself occupied with something that will take your mind off the thought of food.

Some folks decide to sleep it out, although personally, this has only made it worse for me, you wake up hungrier than when you went to sleep. Just breathing through it in a daze while the mind wonders. Surfing the web, reading,watching tv, doing some light activity and even going to run errands if there is any energy left, is what has helped me in the past. All TV watching should be educational, motivational and God inspiring programs of cause.

Why Embrace it then?

Because its benefits are plenty. Your body is healing itself internally. Its not wasting its energy breaking down food in your digestive system, granted you didn't pig out the night before that is, and focuses its energy to repair damaged goods in your body. Allah has given us a great machine here, its up to us to allow it to do what it was designed to do. Your mind is more alert, notice how your mind wanders quickly to exotic cuisines that you haven't eaten in ages or seen on some TV Show, that's your brain working properly. The bottom line is you feel much lighter and focused, transfer that energy into doing positive things. Remember Allah, Read up on Islamic texts, do your 5 a day, and work on those projects that you were too lazy to finish. I bet you those great ideas will keep flowing.

To sum it up, you are at your best when hungry. So anticipate it, expect it,embrace it and humble yourself to it. This is a month of mercy and blessings, so maximize on it, by remembering and praying to him who created you, and be good and merciful to his creation. Remember the prophet said that the prayer of one who is fasting is never rejected.

 Ramadhan Kareem everyone!

Aya ya Leo- Nuhu(Noah)

 

Na hakika tulimtuma Nuhu kwa watu wake, na akakaa nao miaka elfu kasoro miaka khamsini. Basi tufani liliwachukua, nao ni madhaalimu. 

And We certainly sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them a thousand years minus fifty years, and the flood seized them while they were wrongdoers. (Qur'an 29:1)

Aya za Leo - Wapotezaji(Those who lead Others Astray)

Na walio kufuru waliwaambia walio amini: Fuateni njia yetu, nasi tutayabeba makosa yenu. Wala wao hawatabeba katika makosa yao chochote kile. Hakika hao ni waongo.Na hapana shaka wataibeba mizigo yao na mizigo mingine pamoja na mizigo yao. Na kwa yakini wataulizwa Siku ya Kiyama juu ya waliyo kuwa wakiyazua.

And those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." But they will not carry anything of their sins. Indeed, they are liars.But they will surely carry their [own] burdens and [other] burdens along with their burdens, and they will surely be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent. (Qur'an 29:12-13)
Ijumaa Njema Wadau!
