What jewels do you have in your heart, and which ones do you let shine to others through your deeds?
Insha’Allah you can make your own jewel box, reflecting the gems of characteristics our Beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam was sent to teach us through his perfected manners.
JazakiLlahu khairan to Fatimah bint Hamza for sharing her decorative jewel box.
As salaamu alikum warahmatulaahi wabarakaatuh,
Subhanallah, this page is beautiful
Amazing….so many words ….so many jewels, may we all continue to improve ourselves gaining more characteristics everyday, ameen.
Jazakhallah khayr to Fatima for sharing her beautiful jewel box.

Assalamu alaikum Dear Ukhti Farhanah, Ameen, and so true….so many JEWELS….these few words representing a fraction that was taught by ‘the essence of the Qur’an walking’, as our dear Aishah RadhiAllahu anhu said of our blessed Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. And of course they can be simplified for our younger ones, the future flag bearers of this glorious Deen. Insha’Allah we all take the time to sit with children in a playful, creative way, gently promoting a love for Islam and all that it embraces. Alhumdulillah that you have so many wonderful little ones in your immediate family, Masha’Allah. May the Ummah be blessed with more and more with the Sifat and Akhlaq of our noble predecessors, Ameen.
Wassalamu alaikum

Alhamdulillah! A lovely box filled with jewels of light
Yet, one is missing.
Service, without which all the rest are nothing.
Ya Haqq!

Assalamu alaikum,
JazakumuLlahu khairan dear brother Irving for your important reminder. I have heard that Khidmah, service is directly for Allah Ta’ala, while our other deeds are with the hope of gaining His Jannah for ourselves, SubhanAllah! The list I have posted is by no means extensive, nor complete. I am sure we could all add so many more shining jewels we could try integrating into our daily activities. Actually the one I have omitted, and will add with your suggestion is Ikhlas, sincerity, as I feel that without this Sifat then no matter what we do, it may not be accepted by Allah Ta’ala. It is said that there are Angels who can count the number of rain drops that have fallen, the number of leaves on every tree ever created and will be created and the number of hairs on every human and animal, and the number of grains of sand ever created, but Allah Ta’ala has not created any Angel who knows of an individual’s Ikhlas, not even our recording Angels. This will only be revealed by Allah Ta’ala on the Day of Qiyamah! Insha’Allah we treasure our “jewel box”, and that of the Ummah’s as a whole, constantly adding to the collective brilliance. Ameen.
Wassalamu alaikum
