The Seven Goals For a Productive Day- Suratul Fatiha

We all want to have a productive day. We strive hard in figuring out our interests and potential and learn to manage that precious commodity, time. We set goals and develop strategies to accomplish them. Now, the point to ponder is, are these “goals” really aimed at gaining the Pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (glorified is He)? What goals should we set for ourselves to achieve in a day that are aimed at gaining the pleasure of Allah (swt) and inching closer to Jannah (Paradise) insha’Allah (God willingly)? Subhan’Allah (glory to God)!!  Allah (swt)—the Supreme Being—gives us the answer in 7 short ayahs (verses of the Qur’an) very aptly titled – “Al Fatiha—The Opening.” Here goes:– Say Bismillah before beginning a task —In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful: Start each task with the name of Allah (swt). It increases barakah (blessings). Say Bismillah before eating, starting something new, entering the house etc. Thank Allah (swt) often

Is it money we didn't spend, or fasting and Prayers? Cancer, you just chose to take her home so early, God is watching you. Mrs. Olufunmilayo Aduni Olayinka The ravaging effects of Cancer have long been a recurring decimal and several  Nigerian families like "the Sarakis' of  Kwara" have experienced the agony of losing relations to the disease. It has become a common disease to a lot of people because it has touched them somehow, caused them some kind of pain, directly or indirectly.
