Allah SWT Can Do Anything

Jâbir b. `Abd Allah al-Ansârî relates that he heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said three days before his death: "None of you should ever die except while assuming the best about Allah." [Sahîh Muslim (5125)]

It is wrong for any Muslim to think ill of Allah. A Muslim should always assume the best about his Lord. As long as the Muslim is striving to engage in good deeds, he should expect the best outcome: that Allah will accept his good deeds; that Allah from His grace will forgive him; and that Allah will bless him to live out his life, until its conclusion, upon faith. This is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: "None of you should ever die except while assuming the best about Allah." [Sahîh Muslim (5125)] (Source: http://www.islamtoday.com/showme2.cfm?cat_id=31&sub_cat_id=1762)

Objective: To help students think of ways they can praise Allah SWT for the things He has done for them.

Directions: Have students write about one way they could praise Allah SWT for something He has done for them recently. they might write a thank-you note to Allah SWT for answering one of their prayers.
