Allāh ﷻ Is More Merciful Than A Mother To Her Child
Umar ibn al-Khattāb reported: Some prisoners of war were brought to the Prophet ﷺ and a nursing woman was among them. Whenever she found a child among the prisoners, she would take it to her chest and nurse it.
The Prophet ﷺ said to us, “Do you think this woman would throw her child into the fire?”
We said, “No, not if she was able to stop it.” The Prophet ﷺ said,
“Allāh is more merciful to His servants than this mother is to her child.”
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī [no. 5999]
Benefits from the narration:
- Allāh is more merciful to His slaves than the most merciful of mothers to her child, for the One Who made her merciful must be more merciful than her.
- It is not permissible for anyone to despair in the Mercy of Allāh despite how great his/her sins are.
See Majmū’ al-Fatāwā [16/19 & 16/448] - Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah [رحمه الله].
Action Plan:
1 - Turn to Allāh in repentance no matter how many sins you have committed.
2 - Supplicate [Dua’a] for the mercy of Allāh.
3 - When going through a calamity say:
“إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيۡهِ رَٲجِعُونَ"
[Truly! To Allāh we belong and truly, to Him we shall return].
4 - Be merciful to others.

We live in a time where we constantly compare ourselves to others.
We see endless pictures of people living dream lives, hear about entrepreneurs who quickly become billionaires, and watch influencers flaunt their luxury lifestyles.
This constant exposure can make us feel inadequate and jealous, even though deep down we know success requires hard work and persistence. It can be tough to see others do well and not feel like we're falling behind.
Here are some tips if you find yourself feeling this way:
1. Remember, what you see on social media isn't always real. Those perfect photos and glamorous trips are often staged.
2. Focus on your own journey. You don't know the struggles others face behind their perfect facade. Value your own achievements and learn from both the good and bad times.
3. Set your own standards for success. Measure your life by the joy, freedom, and love you experience, not by your wealth or how many people follow you online.
Remember, the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Shaykh Ibn Bāz on Love and Hatred for the Sake of Allāh
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Merciful, the Ever Merciful…
( وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ أَشَدُّ حُبًّا للهِ )
( While the people of Īmān are stronger in their love for Allāh [than anyone else] ) [Sūrat al-Baqarah: 165]
Love and hatred are opposites. Since it is logically impossible to truly love something without hating what stands against it, Muslims both love and hate for the sake of Allāh.
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ guided us to this balance and moderation in our emotions when he said:
(( إِنَّ أَوْثَقَ عُرَى الإِيْمَانِ أَنْ تُحِبَّ فِي اللهِ وَتُبْغِضَ فِي اللهِ ))
“Verily the strongest handhold of faith is that you love for the sake
of Allāh and that you hate for the sake of Allāh.” [Aḥmad 4/286, authentic]
The great scholar, Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azīz Ibn Bāz (d.1420, may Allāh have Mercy on him) was asked about love and hatred for the sake of Allāh, and he replied:
Loving for Allāh is when you love (someone) for Allāh’s sake, the Blessed and Exalted, because you believe him to be a person of Taqwā (mindfulness of Allāh’s orders) and Īmān (upright beliefs, statements, and actions). Because of these things you love such a person for the sake of Allāh.
You also hate for the sake of Allāh when you see a disobedient disbeliever. You hate such a person for the sake of Allāh.
You also hate a disobedient person, even if he is a Muslim, based on the degree of his disobedience.
This is how a believer is – He allows his heart to react to both types of people, loving some of them for the sake of Allāh. He loves the people of Īmān and Taqwā for the sake of Allāh, while he hates the people of disbelief, evil, and disobedience for Allāh’s sake, allowing his heart to interact with both kinds.
In the case when there is good and bad in a person, like a disobedient Muslim, then he loves him for his Islām and hates him for his disobedience, combining both emotions of love and hatred for one person.
As for the people of Īmān and the people of upright Islamic practice, then he (a true believer) loves them wholeheartedly. Similarly, he hates the people of disbelief wholeheartedly.
But regarding someone who has both things (good and bad traits), a disobedient Muslim, he loves him based on the level of his Īmān and Islām, while he hates him according to the level of his disobedience and violations (of Islamic beliefs and practices).

Don't force yourself on people, especially those who have already shown you how they feel about you.
Don't force yourself on anyone. If they tell you to leave, leave and don't beg or try to change their mind, just leave.
Desperation breeds contempt and it's not worth it.
Value yourself enough to know when it's time to leave, to know when you are not wanted or loved, to know what you cannot accept, take and do to be appreciated, lived and cared about.
Even if you have nobody, you always have The One Who Created you and He is always enough, sufficient and loving to all His creation.
May Allah bless us with people who will value, love and care about us as much as we do the same for them.
Forced relationships, romantic or platonic, never work and the one who gives more, loves more, and cares more is always the one who will hurt the most.
Don't force yourself on anyone, not even the ones you have birthed. If they are meant to be, they will eventually come back and give what they receive and maybe a little more because of past experiences.
Don't force yourself on anybody and live your life as you best can. Learn to live people from far and in secret when needed.
Don't force yourself on anyone. Ever.

‘Abdul-Rahman Ibn Ziyad Ibn An’um said:
‘While [Prophet] Musa (‘alaihis-salaam) was in a gathering Iblis came wearing a hooded cape that changed in colors. When the devil came nearer he took off the cape and set it down and came to Musa saying: ‘Peace be upon you. Musa replied: ‘Who are you?’ He said: ‘I am Iblis. ‘ Musa responded: ‘No greetings from Allah to you, what brought you here?’ The devil said: ‘I came to greet you because of your high godly status.’ Musa said: ‘What have I seen you wearing?’ Iblis replied: ‘I use it (the cape) to capture the hearts of the sons of Adam.’ Musa asked: ‘What is it that if a human does will enable you to take him over?’ He replied: ‘If he becomes fond of himself, and considered his (good) deeds plentiful .’ I warn you from three things:
First, never be alone with a woman that is not lawful to you, because, whenever someone does so, I personally accompany him and use her to seduce him.
Second, never promise Allah something except that you fulfil your promise. Whenever someone promises Allah something I personally accompany him to prevent him from fulfilling his promise.
(Third) And never take an amount of money to give charity except that you make sure you give it to that charity. Whenever someone takes an amount of money to give to charity, I personally accompany him to persuade him not to give it.
Then Iblis walked away saying: ‘Woe to me, thrice, I have taught [Prophet] Musa from what to warn the sons of Adam.’

The intestines of a camel were thrown upon the back of Rasulullaah and he supplicated against them
Narrated
Narrated
Abdullah:
While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was prostrating (as stated below).
Narrated Abdullah bin Masud:
Once the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering prayers at the Kaba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you will bring the Abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated and then placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had some people with me to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter) came and threw that (camel's Abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his head and said thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So it was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the Prophet invoked Allah against them as they had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, Utba bin Rabia, Shaiba bin Rabia, Al-Walid bin Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and `Uqba bin Al Mu'it [??] (and he mentioned the seventh whose name I cannot recall). By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies of those persons who were counted by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the Qalib (one of the wells) of Badr. '[ Al Bukhari 240]👍8
Many of the students of knowledge need to grow a backbone. They remain silent about open misguidance from people both online and in our communities.
Why? Because they say it's about "respecting" each other's differences. There is a difference between the very valid differing stances of scholars on issues of fiqh but when crazy ideas and stances are propagated - to remain silent is defrauding the ummah.
To unite on what we agree on and remain silent on what we disagree on is a false methodology and it has led us to this point.
A warning to duaat. You will be questioned about your knowledge and why you remained silent and did not defend this religion. There won't be any fanboys or fangirls who can help you on that day either.

No matter how religious a person may look and act, there are sins that they commit in private that you know nothing about. Only Allah knows.
No matter how sinful a person may dress, look and act, there are good deeds that they commit in private that you know nothing about. Only Allah knows.
If you spend your time admiring someone else's roses or counting another's thorns, you will neglect your own garden, and your own plants will wither. There is always more to a person than what is seen. There is good and bad in all of us. So do not idolize anyone, nor look down upon anyone. Rather, humanize everyone, take the good from everyone, and do not judge the bad you see in anybody. Your job is not to analyze the apparent and the hidden of your neighbor. Your responsibility is to analyze your own. So concentrate on your own plot of land, water your own garden, count your own roses and analyze your own thorns. This is how you bloom.

Be easy going on the insolvents:
In this materialistic world it is difficult to find someone who after losing financially is still not hurt by the loss. Therefore, we find that the people who give out money (as a loan) are less; and lesser than them are those who give respite to the insolvent; and even lesser than them are those who write-off the debt. No wonder Allaah تعالى has assigned great rewards for these actions.
Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه reported Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as saying: “The angels took away the soul of a person who had lived among people who were before you. They (the angels) said: Did you do anything good? He said: No. they said: Try to recall. He said: I used to lend to people and order my servants to give respite to one in straitened circumstances and give allowance to the solvent. Then Allaah تعالى said (to the angels): {You should ignore (his failing).}” [Saheeh Muslim (4076)]
Abu Masood and Hudhaifah رضي الله عنهما were together in a gathering. Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه said: A person met his Lord (after death) and He تعالى said: {What (good) did you do?} He said: I did no good except that I was a rich man, and I demanded from the people (the repayment of debt that I advanced to them). I, however, accepted that which the solvent gave and remitted (the debt) of the insolvent, whereupon He تعالى said (to the angels): {You should ignore (the faults) of My servant}. Abu Masood رضي الله عنه said: This is what I heard Allaah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as saying. [Saheeh Muslim (4077)]
`Abdullaah bin Abu Qataadah reported that Abu Qataadah رضي الله عنه demanded (the payment of his debt) from his debtor but he (the debtor) disappeared; later on he (Abu Qataadah) found him and he (the debtor) said: I am hard up financially, whereupon he (Abu Qataadah) said: (Do you state it) by Allaah? He said: By Allaah! Upon this he (Abu Qataadah) said: I heard Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as saying: “He who loves that Allaah saves him from the torments of the Day of Resurrection should give respite to the insolvent or remit (his debt).” [Saheeh Muslim (4083)]
In this materialistic world it is difficult to find someone who after losing financially is still not hurt by the loss. Therefore, we find that the people who give out money (as a loan) are less; and lesser than them are those who give respite to the insolvent; and even lesser than them are those who write-off the debt. No wonder Allaah تعالى has assigned great rewards for these actions.
Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه reported Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as saying: “The angels took away the soul of a person who had lived among people who were before you. They (the angels) said: Did you do anything good? He said: No. they said: Try to recall. He said: I used to lend to people and order my servants to give respite to one in straitened circumstances and give allowance to the solvent. Then Allaah تعالى said (to the angels): {You should ignore (his failing).}” [Saheeh Muslim (4076)]
Abu Masood and Hudhaifah رضي الله عنهما were together in a gathering. Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه said: A person met his Lord (after death) and He تعالى said: {What (good) did you do?} He said: I did no good except that I was a rich man, and I demanded from the people (the repayment of debt that I advanced to them).
