A Small Notebook The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He whose two days are equal, is a loser.” [Daiylami] A Mumin is racing towards Jannah. He is always trying to have his ‘today’ better than his ‘yesterday’. After searching for the bodies of martyrs in one of the areas of Ash-Shaam, the brothers came across the body of a 16 year old. They found in his pocket a small notebook which he would use to record his “sins” during the week. If only we could call them sins! Monday: I slept without being on Wudhoo. Tuesday: I laughed with a loud voice. Wednesday: I prayed Qiyaam Al-Layl in a fast manner. Thursday: When we were playing I scored a goal and I felt proud. Friday: I didn’t repeat 1000 prayers on the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and only reached 700. Saturday: One of the army generals gave Salaam to me and beat me to it. Sunday: I forgot the morning Adhkaar. A Mumin tries to keep increasing in piety and good deeds with each passing day to win Allah’s pleasure. He wants his inner self to be better today than it was yesterday and his tomorrow to be better than his today. He wants to avoid a repetition of his mistakes, learn from his experiences, and purify his heart and intentions all the time. Thus, a Mumin’s two days are not equal. A Mumin’s competition is with himself so he can win more and more of Allah’s pleasure and thus higher and better places in Jannah.
