Bismillah...

Time to get some GEMS rolling in Salaami's!

[Asiah Kelley]

Inshallah, there will be a prize for whoever posts the most GEMS.

This competition is open to all brothers and sisters!

The prize is AWESOME, trust me

So get posting, to compete with each other for the sake of Allah. (And a prize, haha)

[Asiah Kelley]

The most valuable things in life, Allah gives them to us for free: ability to see, breathing, life itself, guidance (we didn't have to pay for Qur'an!)

[Asiah Kelley]

Today we have to pay $6,000 for Hajj (low ball figure), but it's actually a gift from Allah, and it's free.

[Asiah Kelley]

Allah is the real teacher, He is the possessor of ALL knowledge. We think we have knowledge, but in comparison to what Allah knows, we have very little knowledge.

That's why very smart people will say: The more I know, the more I know I don't know anything.

[Asiah Kelley]

Human beings tend to transgress when there is wealth involved.

[Asiah Kelley]

If you really want to be near to Allah, make sujood.

The nearness of Allah is not a physical distance, but a state of being

[Asiah Kelley]

You want Allah to love you?

It's clear how to do it.

-Perform fard acts

-Perform extra acts (extra prayers, fasts, and other 'ibadaat)

Know Allah > Love Allah > Submit to Allah > InshAllah, Allah will love you

<3 <3 <3

[Asiah Kelley]

While it is true that RasulAllah (saw) performed some prayers on his camel, DO NOT try to pray while driving!

The last thing you want is for the story on the news of a car crash caused by a Muslim trying to pray.
