He Wants To Test The Real Person You Are

Beware of falling into despair lest answers to prayers take a long time because Allāh is the Sovereign Possessor (al-Mālik), the Most Wise (al-Ḥakīm) and Best Planner and the One Who knows the best for your affairs. You need to heed to the fact He wants to test the real person you are, to see your devoted supplications to Him and to reward you for your patience (ṣabr).

Know that He tests you with delaying the answers of your supplications to combat the whispers (waswasa) of Iblīs. Each one of these reasons is enough to increase the level of your hope in Allāh's grace and calls for thankfulness (shukr) of Allāh because He preferred you with trials in order to turn to Him—for it is nothing but affluence when a person becomes in need, and then turns to Allāh for His help.

THE FLUCTUATIONS OF TIME ARE TESTS FROM ALLĀH

Glory is to Allāh Who subjects His slaves (to trials) in order to test their patience and expose their true nature in times of hardship!

Angels prostrated to Adam ('alayhi as-salām), while shortly thereafter he was expelled from Paradise (jannah).

Nūh ('alayhi as-salām) was beaten until fainted, while shortly thereafter he was rescued in the ark, and his enemies were destroyed.

Ibrāhīm ('alayhi as-salām) was thrown in the fire, and then came out to safety (salāma).

Isma'eel ('alayhi as-salām) lied down in surrender to be slaughtered, then he came to safety, and his praise remained.

Ya'qūb ('alayhi as-salām) lost his eyesight after losing his son, and then he regained it after reuniting with his son.

Mūsā ('alayhi as-salām) was a shepherd, and then was elevated to a rank where he spoke to Allāh (taqlīm).

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was an orphan and faced many hardships from his enemies, and from financial difficulties; yet he persevered and was firm as a mountain. After his objective was fulfilled and when he conquered Makkah, the Angel of death came to him and took his soul while going through the pangs of death.

Whoever observes the sea of life, knows how its waves should be received and know how to be patient while dealing the changing days, will not panic when calamity (bilā') strikes. And will not become overly happy when good times (rikhā') arrive immediately.

When the companion (r) fainted four times before narrating the hadith

Al-Tirmidhi (may Allaah have mercy on him) reported from Shufayy al-Asbahi that he entered Madeenah and saw a man with people gathered around him. He asked, “Who is this?” They said, “Abu Hurayrah.” [Shufayy said:] “So I approached him and sat down in front of him. He was speaking to the people, and when he finished and they had gone away, I said to him, ‘I ask you by Allaah, to narrate to me a hadeeth that you heard from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and understood fully.’ Abu Hurayrah said, ‘I will do that, I will tell you a hadeeth I heard from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and understood fully.’ Then Abu Hurayrah began to gasp, and remained in this condition until he recovered, then he said, ‘I will tell you a hadeeth that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told me in this house when there was no one else present except me and him.’ Then Abu Hurayrah began to gasp again, then he recovered and wiped his face, and said, ‘I will tell you a hadeeth that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told me in this house when there was no one else present except me and him.’ Then he gasped, then he recovered and wiped his face and said, ‘I will tell you a hadeeth that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told me in this house when there was no one else present except me and him.’ Then Abu Hurayrah began to gasp severely, and his head fell forward, and I supported him with my shoulder for a long time, then he recovered, and said:
‘The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told me:
(When the Day of Judgement comes, Allaah will
come down to judge between the people. And every nation will be kneeling in submission. The first people to be called forth will be a man who had learned the Quraan by heart, a man who was killed for the sake of Allaah and a man who had a lot of wealth. Allaah will say to the reciter [of the Quraan], (Did I not teach you that which I had revealed to My Messenger?’ He will say, (Of course, My Lord.’ Allaah will say, (What did you do with what you were taught?’ He will say, (I stayed up at night and during the day (to recite it).’ Allaah will say, (You have lied,’ and the angels will say, (You have lied.’ Allaah will say, (You only wanted it to be said that so-and-so is a reader, and it was said.’ The one who had a lot of wealth will be brought and Allaah will say to him, (Did I not give generously to you so that you were not in need of anyone?’ He will say, (Of course, O Lord.’ Allaah will say, (What did
you do with what I gave you?’ He will say, (I used to give it to my relatives and in charity.’ Allaah will say, (You have lied,’ and the angels will say, (You have lied.’ Allaah will say, (You only wanted it to be said that so-and-so is generous, and it was said. Then the one who was killed for the sake of Allaah will be brought and Allaah will say to him, (What were you killed for?’ He will say, (I was commanded to fight in Lihaad for Your sake so I fought until I was killed.’ Allaah will say, (You have lied,’ and the angels will say, (You have lied.’ Allaah will say, You only want it to be said that so-and-so was courageous, and it was said.’ Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) struck my knees and said, (O Abu Hurayrah, these three are the first people for whom the Fire will be heated on the Day of Resurrection.’ ” (Sunan al- Tirmidhi, no. 2382, saheeh darussalam]

Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
*The Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, you will either enjoin good and forbid evil, or Allah will certainly soon send His punishment to you. Then you will make supplication and it will not be accepted".* [At-Tirmidhi]

Let this sink in…

You don’t have to forgive… story of Yakub (as)

Family can try to destroy you (story of Yusuf (as)) through jealousy

You can be knowledgeable and have immense knowledge but can still be cursed (shaytaan)

Ego it what kills you (Son of Nuh (as))

Jealousy is real, shaytaan is real, sihr is real, don’t let people fool you in thinking blood is everything.

It’s the same people that will watch your every move. Even in Ramadhan.

Stay away from negative, toxic people.

🚨Tonight - Friday Night - 25th Night in some countries 🚨

High chances of being Laylatul Qadr!

Don't Miss seeking Laylatul Qadr tonight!

اللهم بلغنا ليلة القدر!

The Signs of Laylatul-Qadr

Ubayy bin Ka’b (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) stated: “The sign of Laylatul-Qadr is that the Sun rises the following morning white and without rays.”[14]

In a narration, he (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said: “The Sun rises the following morning like a brass dish having no rays until it rises high up.”[15]

Abu Hurayrah (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said: “We were remembering Laylatul-Qadr in the presence of Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) so he said: ‘Who among you remembers [that night] when the moon rose and it was like a piece of the plate.’”[16]

Abdullāh bin ‘Abbās (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) stated that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Laylatul-Qadr is easy and calm, not too hot and not too cold, and the Sun rises the following morning weak and reddish.”[17]

What can be better than this reward for the one whom Allah guides and grants success? So, be ardent and strive in seeking out this night and perform as many righteous deeds as you are able. And whoever passes by these ten nights which are filled with mercy and forgiveness from the Lord, and persists in sins without care or concern, then he has prevented himself from much goodness and immense reward. So, it is upon such people to repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness because the door of repentance remains open―let them take hold of themselves, bring their souls under control and earn a manifold reward through the last ten nights and not return to their sinful lifestyles after that.

*Keep in mind, the Quran was spoken not written - so how do you map this out in oration? And this surah in particular came in response to a question, and was not a “premeditated” production. Incredible.

*2.5 Yusuf is sold as property into Egypt — 10.5 Yusuf becomes the treasurer over the properties of Egypt.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Loving this worldly life hinders man from doing righteous deeds, which are the only things that will avail him in the Hereafter. The more one indulges in loving the worldly life, the more he refrains from doing righteous deeds.”

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

Present to yourself the most beloved thing to you in this life whereby if it were taken away from you, you would not feel any pleasure in this life.
Then imagine it was taken away from you and a barrier was placed between both of you in your most needy moment, how would you feel?
Imagine this feeling even though this beloved thing can be replaced, so reflect over the thing that can never be replaced.

Anything, if you lose it, can be replaced -- but there isn't a replacement for Allāh if you lose [a connection with] Him.

Giving Zakat Al-Fitr as Money

Giving out Zakat Al-Fitr as money in an amount equal to its value (in food) goes against the Sunnah. It is not sufficient because it was neither reported on the Prophet ﷺ nor on any of his Companions that they gave out Zakat Al-Fitr in the form of money (in place of food).

Imam Ahmad said,

"Zakat Al-Fitr should not be given as money." Someone replied, "(But) some people are saying that Umar ibn Abdul Aziz would accept Zakat Al-Fitr as money." Ahmad replied, "So are they going to avoid the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and follow the opinion of someone else who said something (contrary to what the Messenger ﷺ said)?! Indeed, Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Zakat Al-Fitr compulsory in the form of a sa'ah (of food)..."

Luqmān was an Ethiopian Slave who was a carpenter.

His master said to him:
"Slaughter this sheep for us," so he slaughtered it.

His master said: "Bring the best two pieces from it," so he brought out the tongue and the heart.

Them time passed, as much as Allāh willed, and his master said: "Slaughter this sheep for us," so he slaughtered it.

His master said: "Bring the worst two morsels from it," so he brought out the tongue and the heart.

His master said to him: "I told you to bring out the best two pieces, and you brought these, then I told you bring out the worst two pieces, and you brought these!"

Luqmān said: "There is nothing better than these if they are good, and there is nothing worse than these if they are bad."

And he said: Istighfār is the greatest of good deeds, and it’s door is expansive, so whoever feels a deficiency in his speech, actions, provision, or the turning of his heart, then upon him is to seek forgiveness from Allah.”
