Illusions

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ We often fear that which we know little about. The courage to learn conquers the illusions of the mind.

Don't Worry

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Things aren’t always as they seem. Umm Musa (Mother of Musa(AS)) was told to throw her son in the river, Yusuf (Alayhis Salam) was left for dead in a well, Maryam delivered a child alone, Yunus (Alayhis Salam) was swallowed by a whale, Ibrahim (Alayhis Salam) was thrown in the fire and Umm Salamah thought no one could be better than Abu Salamah. Yet look at how it turned out for them… in the end". --So don’t worry, Allah has a plan for you

Proficient

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ"The one who is proficient in the recitation of the quran will be honorable and obedient scribes(angels) and he who recited the quran, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have double reward."[Al Bukhari and Muslim]Note: Proficient here means one who reads the Quran in accordance with the rules of Ilm At-Tajwid. The hadith also highlights the merit of the reader of the Quran who does not know Ilm At-Tajwid and for that reason cannot read fluently. but in spite of this, he reads it with great effort. He will be given double reward, one for difficulty encountered in reciting it, another for reading it. Safratun translated in the Hadith as scribes (angels) mean the angels that convey the Wahy (Revelation) to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ). Imam Bukhari has taken it to mean "One who makes reconciliation". The angels who bring Wahy and chastisement from Allah.For more info read pages 793-794 Riyad-us-Saliheen

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِAbu Abdullah bin Abul-As (peace be upon him) reported:I complained to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) about a pain I had in my body.
