It's never too late..

It's very inspiring in today's world, to have people like Junaid Jamshed completely changing tracks, taking a U-Turn in life and so sincerely persevering with the talent he possesses, towards a Noble cause.

His naat's, especially the one posted here with the video in itself is a reminder for all of us, that Alhamdulillah, we are Muslims - and like every program on our pc's, Islam gives us an 'un-do' (Ctrl Z) button in our lives too - because Allah SWT is the Most Merciful and the Most Forgiving...and just like how we wish to 'undo' so many mistakes we tend to make while working on the pc, and then make sure we don't do them again..

So is the case with our lives: to ask for forgiveness, in the most meaningful manner, and attaining peace in realising that there is indeed NO GOD BUT HIM (SWT) and none other than Him has control over all the creations in the World and Universe; and thus, then working towards the 'change'.

Thus, "He (SWT) guides those whom He pleases." (Reference to Surah An Nur) - and there's no saying when and how people might change their ways - from evil towards goodness.

With reference to Allah's Guidance to whom He pleases, we often misinterpret that and leave our 'changes' for "when He chooses to Guide us" but we need to remember, that Allah SWT has given us free will, and a fully-functioning blessing: 'Aql (our brain, and our sense to THINK).

It is thus upon us, to take the first step by realizing the wrong we do, and then deciding to un-do them by asking for Forgiveness; and with a strong will, make changes in ourselves. Why would our Most Merciful Lord then deny us help to guide ourselves to salvation???

Alhamdulillah!

JJ (Junaid Jamshed) has very finely portrayed a humble du'a infront of the Almighty (SWT), and particularly in his video shown that its never too late to turn to Allah (SWT). It's never too late to realise our mistakes.. and it's never too late to change ourselves.

But that shouldn't be a reason for us to take our lives for granted; and the 'time we have in hand' for granted.
It always calls for us to self-account continiously and see how we really ARE utilizing our lives.....

For all of us, moving in this mad fast-paced, progressive and busy life, this video, and the beautiful lyrics and composition of the naat altogether are worth seeing and pondering.. (and so is the transformation of JJ from Vital Signs to Multazim!)
Subb-haanallah

Shukar alhamdulillah; that Allah SWT has blessed us all on the True Religion; and endless Thanks to Him for always offering His Kindness, His Guidance & His Mercy to mother us even after we have been the worst of His slaves - and so unworthy of His Forgiveness, His countless Blessings and His Guidance!

May we all be able to reach the Higher ends of Faith - Inshallah!
