'***~:: Daily MIX of Goodness::~***'

[Sana UK]

If you want to be a companion of Al-Wahhab, then remember to

acknowledge His gifts, even if they seem to be minute, and to thank Him.

Allah (swt) says, “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe,” (Qur’an, 14:7).

The more we are conscious of Allah’s gifts to us, the more we are able to increase our love for Him, and recognize how blessed we are.

Bismillah

So how do we know when Allah (swt) has given us a gift?

Rizq (sustenance) is written for us, but we have to work for it. So if in the course of our efforts, we earn $1 million, that is rizq that Allah (swt) had ordained for us.

Hiba, on the other hand, is just that—a gift that was not conditioned upon your efforts.

• When you get a phone call from someone you love, that you felt you missed—that is hiba.

• When without planning, you are fortunate enough to be able to go on `umrah (the minor pilgrimage), that is hiba.

• When Allah (swt) brings an amazing person into your life and you are able to improve because of them, that is hiba.
