Chosing a life of poverty

عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال عرض علي ربي ليجعل لي بطحاء مكة ذهبا قلت لا يارب ولكن أشبع يوما وأجوع يوما وقال ثلاثا أو نحو هذا فإذا جعت ضرعت إليك وذكرتك وإذا شبعت شكرتك وحمدتك قال هذا حديث حسن

34. Hadrat Abu Umaamah R.A. narrates that Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam is reported to have said that Allah Ta'ala offered to change the rocks and stones of Makkah into gold for me but I had refused saying, “O my Rabb, I intend eating one day and remaining hungry one day. When I am hungry then I will humble myself before you and remember you, and when I fill my stomach I will be grateful and praise you. (Tirmidhi)

Four great verses from the Quran to be recited daily

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim Hamidaw wa Muasllien wa Musallieman When Allah Ta'ala was going to reveal Surah Fatiha, Aayatul Kursi (2:255), the Ayah of Shahidallahu (3:18) and the Ayah of Qulillaahumma (3:26 - 3:27), these four auspicious revelations complained to Allah Ta'ala that You are going to reveal us to people who commit great sins.  Allâh Ta'ala said, I take an oath by my honour that whoever will recite you after every Fardh Salâh (after the Sunnah of those Salâh that have Sunnat-e-Muaqqadah after them), I will bless him with 4 favours: 1.   I will look at him 70 times a day with mercy (70 is to denote excessiveness) and will forgive all his sins 2.   I will grant him a place in Hadhieratul Quds, a special place in Jannatul Firdaus 3.   I will fulfil 70 (many/all) of his needs, the lowest of which will be poverty (in one narration) and depression (in another narration). 4.   I will protect him against his enemies and in fact, let him overpower his enemies. May Allah Ta’ala make it easy for all of us Inshallah.
