Something about 1%

Bismillah
Assalamualaikum wbt

With Allah's mercy, even animals know how to love
I was at my friend house. We had  long talk after almost a year we been apart. I was sitting on my bike when I saw a mother hen and it cute little chicks were looking for food.

“I haven’t seen chicks for a decade. Real chickens at my house were long gone” I said

It was true. We used to have many chickens around the house when I was a little boy. When we wanted to have chicken for lunch, my mum would order us to catch one. My cousins and I would chase them around the house happily.

“I got one!” I yelled while holding a chicken on my right hand. My uncle slaughtered it, and we had chicken curry that evening. Ah, those moments.

I was looking at the mother and the chicks for a moment.

“They all were yellow except for that one” My friend was pointing at a dark looking chick, exceptionally different from the rest.

“Like in the Ugly Duckling” I said. We laughed.

The chicks would follow wherever the mother went, even the odd one. The mother looked so caring as she foraging the ground with her feet and started to look for invisible foods. The chicks would follow instantly.

It reminded me of something.

Salman Al Farisi Reported: The messenger of Allah, peace and blessing be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah has one hundred portion of mercy; because of one there is compassion between creation, and ninety-nine are reserved for the Day of Resurrection” HR Muslim.

It said, Allah had 100 mercies, but He gave one to humans, Jinn and animals on earth. With this one, there was love between His creations. Where the wild animals loved their young and humans loved each other.

I saw, with this one portion the hen loved its chicks.

If you think today you love your family sincerely, you love your best friend with all of your heart; remember Allah’s love to His servants is 99 times more than that. Could you feel it? If you think human loves is remarkable, with love humans are willing to sacrifice themselves, Allah’s love would be beyond imagination.

Ibn Qayim said, there are three signs of Allah’s love.

If Allah loves you, He puts you under trials.

When He loves someone, He gives them the “understanding” of islam

Whomever Allah loves, He deviates your heart for disobedient and sins.

Thus, whenever you are under His trial, be thankful as Allah wants you to remember Him. If you have chances to understand true purpose of human and a muslim, grab that chance as a muslim is more than fasting in Ramadan or praying 5 times a day. Be happy if your heart is cleans from the dots of sins.

Inshaa Allah, never have any bad thought on Allah as He always love His servants, especially those who are close to Him.

If today you are unhappy due to something, be thankful to Allah
If today you are tired of something, be thankful to Allah
As Allah is showing His love to you
And remember in every difficulty, there is ease.

Inshaa Allah
