The person who speaks with a “two-tongued” and a “double-dealing” approach --- regularly contradicts himself is in effect a “deceitful back-stabber”. Convincingly, he makes a point, takes an oath on it, then suddenly he makes an about-turn and denies all that he had mentioned.
The attribute (quality) of kindness is a superb characteristic of a human being.
The world is a place of test and trials. Allah Ta’ala through His Wisdom, tests His servants as and when He Alone desires. In this world, people encounter an assortment of hardships, pain, problems, etc.
The relentless waves of tests, trials and tribulations (fitna) are ruthlessly razing the Ummah to the ground. The unyielding deluges of trials strike without warning and before you know it, the cruel avalanche has already struck.
I am a male in my forties, who, up to this point, went through, and survived at least 40 surgical procedures --- and still counting!
As the strange wheel of time turns on and on, good people are becoming rarer and more and more difficult to find. Sadly, the once “rich-society” is rapidly losing its good, caring and loving “gems”. Simultaneously, there is also an erosion of a genuine quest for a wholesome life.

The love for Allah Ta’ala is in reality Tawheed (Oneness). In addition, it is the originality of our worship. The heart is never in peace and never satisfied except in His worship & His love. Tawheed cannot be achieved without the servant loving Allah Ta’ala. Allah Alone is our Rabb, our Creator upon whom we are entitled to worship before even considering the infinite bounties granted to us and the unlimited compassion and kindness shown to us. Hence, it is incumbent on every sensible person to recognise Allah Ta’ala.
