We are Muslims! We are Mu'mins! Insyaallah.


Surah al-Anfal: ayat 27
"O you who believe! Betray not the trust of Allah and the Messenger, nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you."
My fellow Muslims, Allah gave us responsibilities n we MUST fulfill them. Do what we're told to do, leave what we're told to leave. Have a look at this ayat:
Surah al-Hajj: ayat 77-78
"77. O you who believe! Bow down (ruku'), prostrate yourself (sujud), and adore your Lord; and do good; that you may prosper. 78. And strive in His cause as you ought to strive, (with sincerity-ikhlas and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and you be witnesses for mankind! so establish regular Prayer, give Zakat (poor-due), and hold a fast to Allah! He is your Protector-the Best to protect and the Best to help!"
Now, I'll summarize according to my undstnding..
Allah has chosen us. yup! we're the chosen ones!! n Allah does not burden us or give us difficulties in this religion (Islam). Allah named us Muslims. Rasulullah (pbuh) witnesses us, told us the guidelines in Islam, explained them to us. N in turn, we must do the same to mankind (da'wah). Look my friends at how Allah n Rasulullah (pbuh) trust us n entrusted us with responsibilities! We should be eternally grateful! So, let us not give up k? Rmb, we don't want to be a kafir, do we? Absolutely not!!
What we must do:
1. Ruku' n sujud (solat) (mentioned twice!)
2. Adore Allah (hv tauhid!)
3. Do good
4. Really2 strive (jihad) in Allah's cause (ikhlas because of Allah)
5. Da'wah
6. Give zakat
7. Hold a fast to Allah (hold on tight to Allah n Islam)
N look at the last part of the ayat.. Allah-the Best to protect, the Best to help! So, stop worrying unnecessarily, Allah is always there when you fight for Allah, for Islam, when u truely act like a Muslim/Muslimah. So, pray n ask for Allah's protection, for Allah's help!
The Result: Prosper here n hereafter. It's in the ayat, really.. believe it my friends!!
Many people nowadays know what are wrong doings, what r good doings n what r doings which are obligatory (wajib). Know but dont applicate. Yup. That's the problem! Responsibility my friends, responsibility. We MUST perform our duties as Muslims n Muslimahs. It is our duties, our responsibilities entrusted to us. We must not neglect these duties n do as we wish here on Earth. Rmb, we are slaves of Allah living on Allah's earth, breathing on Allah's air. Be shukr my friends, be shukr. Let us together work hard to be great mu'mins, insyaallah. Amiin.
Wallahu'alam.
