In today's world of extreme materialism, the Muslims are in need of hearing what the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said about the definition of true wealth, he said ;
ليس الغنى عن كثرة العرض، ولكن الغنى غنى النفس
Wealth is not the abundance of material things, rather true wealth is the wealth of the heart
Reported by bukhari 6446 and Muslim 1051 from Abu hurayrah رضي الله عنه

Be a good neighbor
Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said:
“If you would love for Allāh and His Messenger to love you, observe three characteristics: truthful speech, fulfilling trusts and being a good neighbor. Verily, harming the neighbor obliterates good deeds just as the sun obliterates ice.”
[As-Silsilat-us-Sahīhah 2998]

Imām ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn Bāz رحمه الله said:
The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) clarified that good only brings good. Wealth is not absolute goodness, rather it is a trial. So whoever spends it in its rightful (place), then it is good; and whoever spends it in dubious ways, then it will be bad for him, such as the eater of the khadira (i.e. a kind of vegetation); but it becomes safe and sound when it defecates and urinates.

Do not expose yourself to what does not concern you, stay away from your enemy, beware of [taking as] your friend anyone except the trustworthy amongst people – and there is no one who is trustworthy except one who fears Allāh; and do not accompany the sinner in case you learn his sinfulness, and do not let him know your secrets, and consult those who fear Allāh for your affairs.

💎 Let Allāh Deal with Him/Her

He said: "Give your honor unto Allāh. So that whoever reviles you or curses you, leave him to Allāh (to deal with)."

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:
❝When the people of Jannah will reunite, they will remember all the times they spoke about Jannah in this world. They’ll look back and laugh, at how short life was, and then smile, because beautiful is their final abode.
The people of paradise will have all that they desire. One step into Jannah and they will remember no pain. They will say they never suffered, they will say they never cried.
A dip in Jannah.
Oh how much we long for that moment. The moment where we reunite, we hug our loved ones once again. We forget about all the pain, and thank Allāh for all the tests!
How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allāh. We will thank Him for testing us, for loving us and for giving us more than anyone could imagine.
A place of eternity, vast, beautiful, peaceful.
Everything one can desire.
Be patient, oh beautiful slaves of Allāh, for our Lord is more Merciful than a mother is to her child.❞
— “Al-Fawa’īd” (pg. 119)

Dead things that do not have flowing blood are pure such as the bees, ants, flies, and scorpions
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said "If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink) and take it out, for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease." [al-Bukhari 3320]
Imam An Nawawi said: As for the worms that hatch out in food and water, such as worms in dates, apples, broad beans, cheese, vinegar, and other things, they do not make impure the food in which they die, and there is no disagreement on this point.'' [ sharh As Sunnah by Al-Baghawi 11/260]

Be Like Shaykh Hasan Al Basri:
A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri:
“Indeed, someone has backbitten you.”
He sent a dish of sweet dates to the backbiter saying:
“I heard that you have given me your good deeds as a gift, so I want to repay you for it, but please excuse me for I am unable to completely repay you.”
تنبيه الغافلين 1/164
I can _almost_ guarantee you the person will think twice before mentioning you again, and if not...........Well MORE good Deeds for YOU.
We call that a "Win-Win!"

Food for thought: If everyone tells you you’re depressed eventually you’ll be in a sunken state of depression, if everyone tells you you’re a bad parent eventually you’ll believe and question everything you are as a parent, if everyone tells you it’s to hard for you and you’re overwhelmed eventually it’ll be to hard for you and you’ll lose your zeal to fight and you’re overwhelming will be overwhelmed. However if people just stop to pour into you because they see you are depleted, if we just pull each other out of darkness instead of stating the obvious with the help of Allah maybe that’s one persons mental we can help nourish instead of over kill with statements of hopelessness!!

💚🍀Have you noticed how time is flying?
You start the week; before you know it, it’s the weekend. A month begins and ends in a blink. The year starts, and suddenly, it’s almost over. If you’re not mindful, life simply passes you by, leaving you without a sense of fulfillment or purpose.
But how can we embrace slow productivity when time seems to fly by so quickly?
The key is to be intentional about each day and focus on a few keystone habits and intentions that truly matter.
Habits such as Salah, Quran recitation, Remembrance of Allah, Fasting, Exercise, Planning, Seeking Beneficial Knowledge, and Maintaining good relations with people slow you down by encouraging you to fill your fast-moving time with meaningful acts that benefit you in this life and the next.

"In front of us, death is waiting. Behind us, old age is chasing. On our right, time is warning. On our left, shaitan is calling. Down beneath us, the grave is waiting." And remember that everywhere you are, Allah is watching".
May Allah (SWT) direct and guide our deeds; accept our prayers and bless our little efforts with great reward of Jannah. Aameen.

INNOVATORS ARE NEVER PRAISED.
The Salaf would not attend funerals of innovators, let alone sit with them on public stages and praise them. You try and oppose Zakir Naik or Yasir Qadhi today on social media and watch the public ire that coalesce against you. This is the reality today and grand scheme of affairs - its ignorance all round.
The origin with ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah, the Salafis, is that they do not attend the gatherings of ahlul-Bid’ah, they do not praise them or honour them, or share platforms with them – and even if an Imaam of Sunnah agrees to attend, then it is for the purpose of clarifying the truth and exposing their misguidance. So the Salaf were clear with regard to the ijmaa’ concerning disassociation from ahlul-Bid’ah.
Any claimant to knowledge who attends the conferences of ahlul-bid’ah and shares platforms with them, being openly cordial with them, without correcting them and forbidding their innovations, then such a person has opposed the methodology of the noble Salaf and had contradicted the Salafi manhaj. He has given the impression to the masses that he is pleased with their innovations and their hizbiyyah.
The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also warned against the People of Innovation, from befriending, supporting or taking from them:
“Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of ALLAAH, His Angels and the whole of mankind." Reported by Bukhaaree (12/41) and Muslim (9/140)
The consensus of the abandonment of the people of innovation has been reported from a group of the Salaf – and whoever denies or rejects this ijmaa’ is either ignorant or himself a person of innovation.
al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad (d. 187H) said: “I met the best of people, all of them people of the Sunnah and they used to forbid from accompanying the people of innovation.”
