Now, take a look at this…
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint, what equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
If:
Hardwork
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
Knowledge
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
And:
Love
L+O+V+E
12+15+22+5 = 54%
And:
Luck
L+U+C+K
12+21+3+11 = 47%
And:
Money
M+O+N+E+Y
13+15+14+5+25 = 72%
And:
Leadership
L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P
12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89%
But:
Attitude
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
Then, look how far the love of God will take you:
Love Of God
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It’s the Love of God that will put you over the top!
Change Your Attitude? Love God and You will change your life !!!
1) Abdul-Aziz Ibn Abdullah reported that Ibraheem Ibn Sa’ad from Ibn Akhee Ibn Shihaab from Saalim Ibn Abdullah stated:
I heard Abu Hurairah (radiallahu ‘anhu) say: I heard Allah’s Messenger saying: All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujaahireen (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people).
An example of such disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public, then he comes in the morning and says, ‘O so and so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,’ though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes Allah’s screen from himself.” [Al-Bukhari # 95 Vol. 8 The Book of Adab (Good Manners) or #2037 in Summarised Saheeh Al-Bukhari]
2) Musaddad reported that Abu ‘Awaanah said from Qataadah from Safwaan Ibn Muhriz “A man asked Ibn ‘Umar what he heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) say about An-Najwaa (when a person speaks to himself or to someone else when no others can hear.
In this instance it refers to the moment on the Day of Resurrection when each person stand before Allah and his deeds are exposed). He said: One of you comes near to his Rabb until He covers him and asks:
‘Did you do such and such?’ He will reply: ‘Yes’. He (Allah) will then ask, ‘You did such-and-such?’ and he (the person) will reply, ‘Yes’ and he will admit it and then He (Allah) will say, ‘Verily I covered you in the world and I forgive you now’. [Al-Bukhari]
This writer recently had the privilege of hearing a Friday sermon where the Imaam mentioned that he was asked to address the issue of smoking and its ruling in Islam. This Imaam quickly ascertained that although smoking is a great and widespread evil, the greater issue was that of people openly sinning in public.
Due to this evil, other sins even greater than public smoking have become commonplace. He then went on to cite the above two hadith that we shall also use to highlight this clear and ever present evil.
We see in the first hadith that Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) informs us that forgiveness is to be had for the Muslims in general except in the instance of the one who openly announces his or her sin or bid’ah (religious innovation). This, after Allah had actually kept the sin concealed from the knowledge and vision of others.
Such an individual for one thing, demonstrates total ingratitude for Allah’s favour either because they have absolutely no consciousness that what they did was a sin, or they have become insensitive to it as an evil due to their committing many sins. This type of person has exposed themselves to having their sin remembered and mentioned by others.
For another thing, they may have been seeking to boast and show how “bold” they are and thus they in effect challenge Allah ta’aala and disrespect His right of obedience and the rights of the believers whose well being is affected.
Finally, it may also be that such a person is attempting to get others to mention their secret sins as well thus encouraging the spread of evil. Such people bring not only blame on themselves but are also deserving of punishment from Allah.
Keep in mind that this is regarding the one who merely announced what was done in secret that was previously known only to them and Allah. How about the one who openly commits the sin for all to see? How much more impact does openly committing sin have upon the weak of faith and understanding than the mere mention of a sin that may or may not have really taken place?
It is a common ritual for youth to brag about the wrongs they do that they can appear “cool” in the sight of schoolmates. The worse, or more daring the tale, the better. The same thing actually continues throughout life but on different levels. It may only grow worse as they get older because the things which were often merely fantasies of youth, became the realities of adulthood largely because they were made to seem so appealing to them when younger.
He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. He does not have a son and He has no partner in the Kingdom. He created everything and determined it most exactly. (Qur’an, 25:2)
One day, as Ali bin Abi Taalib and al-Hussain bin Ali were walking together, they heard a man supplicating to Allah. The man was begging Allah to forgive him for his evil crimes. His sincere tone and eloquent words aroused the interest of Ali, who turned to his son and said, “Do you not hear the man who is so very contrite because of his sins? Go catch up with him and call him.”
When al-Hussain caught up with the man, he saw that he was clean-looking, clean-smelling, with nice clothes and altogether handsome- except that he seemed to be paralyzed on the right side of his body. Al-Hussaid said, “Answer the summons of the Leader of the believers, Ali bin Abu Taalib.”
Dragging his right side, the man followed al-Hussain back to where Ali was waiting for them.
“Who are you and what is your story,” asked Ali.
“My story is that of a man who did not fulfill the rights of others and is now being punished for that,” said the man.
“And what is your name?” asked Ali.
“Munaazil bin Laahiq,” said the man.
“And what is your story?” asked Ali.
“I was famous among the Arabs for my frivolous and sinful exploits. Merciful and kind, my father would constantly admonish me and advise me to mend my ways. He would remind me of Allah’s punishment, saying, ‘My son, do not go against He who punishes with the Hell-fire!’ When he would persist in advising me, I felt his voice grating on my nerves. I would get so frustrated that I would beat him with harsh blows. In response to my blows, he one day said, ‘By Allah, I will fast without breaking my fast and I will pray without stopping to sleep.’ He fasted for an entire week, but seeing no change in my behavior, he climbed a camel and set off to perform Hajj. His parting words were, ‘I am going to the House of Allah, and there I will seek help from Allah against you.’ When he reached Makkah, he embraced the curtain of the Kaa’ba and supplicated against me, asking Allah to make me paralyzed on one side of my body. By the One Who raised the sky and sends down the rain, no sooner did my father finish his supplication than I became paralyzed on my right side, which became like a piece of wood. Anyone that would then pass by me would point to me and say, ‘Allah answered his father’s supplication against him.’”
“What did your father do then?” asked Ali.
“O Leader of the Believers, after he became pleased with me, I asked him to go back and invoke Allah on my behalf. He agreed to do so. I walked alongside him as he rode on his camel, until we reached a place called the Valley of Arak. When we reached there, a group of birds flew away from a tree, their sudden movement frightened the camel. As the camel raced off in a state of fright, my father fell off it and died.”
It was certainly late for the man, but not too late, and so Ali advised him to continue to supplicate and to repent for his past misdeeds. Ali then parted from the man, but before leaving him, he taught him the supplication that a person in distress should say.
There is hope until the very end. We should never give up.
