deed pleases and his evil deed grieves is a (perfect) believer.”[1] سُبْحٰنَ اللہ! May Allah Almighty grant us such beautiful states.
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
In what state did you find yourself in the morning...?
Dear Islamic brothers! We heard the beautiful blessed Hadith regarding Sayyiduna Zayd al-Khayr رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ; ponder over it a little! Sayyiduna Zayd رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ had asked: “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Tell me the sign of a servant who is beloved and one who is disliked by Allah Almighty!” To this, the Holy Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not give him a direct answer but rather asked him a question as an answer. What was that question? “کَیْفَ اَصْبَحتَ یَازَیْد!” “O Zayd! In what state did you find yourself this morning...?”
Try to understand this beautiful manner of the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Heصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has linked being a beloved or disliked servant of Allah Almighty with one’s state in the morning. This means if you wish to see whether you are a beloved servant of Allah Almighty or not, reflect upon your states in the morning! These states will determine what your station is in the court of the Lord.

Little time is left; I must reach work." * "I have to do such-and-such a work today." * "I have to collect money from someone." * "I have to give money
