🪴~ Read, Reflect, Take Heed
In this world, the believer is like a stranger passing through a land that he does not live in, his goal is to go home and his concern is to return to it. With this in mind, he takes only that amount of provision as would allow him to reach his destination, he does not compete with the people living in that land for nobility or honour and neither does he despair at any humiliation he faces from them.
[Book: The Journey of the Strangers by al-Hāfiẓ ibn Rajab al-Hanbalī, p. 90 | Translation: Abū Rumaysah | Dār us-Sunnah Publishers]

“Don't complicate life. We won't be here forever. Your time is too valuable to waste on nonsense.”
As you go through life, be mindful of where you allocate your time and energy. Choose paths that lead to growth, connection, and authenticity. Refuse to be ensnared by the trivial, the fleeting.
Your time is a currency of priceless value. Invest it wisely in pursuits that nourish your soul, uplift your spirit, and bring joy to your heart. Let each heartbeat resonate with purpose and fulfillment.
Orchestrate your moments with intention and reverence. Let each day be a testament to the significance of time, a reminder to cherish the present and savor the beauty of existence. ❤☀

"Not everyone who goes up on the minbar becomes a scholar "ALIM", and not everyone who appears on television becomes a sheikh."
✍🏽 The scholar Ibn Burjis (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Today, many people have a wrong idea of what makes someone a scholar. They think anyone who gives a good sermon, delivers interesting lectures, or speaks well during the Friday sermon is a scholar who should be asked for religious advice and from whom knowledge should be taken. This is a sad and dangerous mistake, as it means giving knowledge to those who don't deserve it. When important matters are given to the wrong people, it leads to serious problems."

When Islam first came to the Prophet, he didn't travelled to china to start spreading it, he started from his people. Whatever you want to do of goodness to help others, start from your household.
Today some people come online and do give away, they share money to strangers while their late siblings children are starving at home. If you want to help people, start from your home.

Help others. Even when you know they can't help you back.
It’s in those moments, when we extend our hand without expecting anything in return, that we find the truest meaning of kindness. Each act of giving becomes a small seed planted in the heart of another, one that may one day bloom in ways we cannot foresee. It's about the quiet satisfaction of knowing you've made a difference, even if the world never knows your name. Because in the end, the most beautiful things in life are the ones done with no expectation of reward, only with the hope of making someone's journey a little lighter, a little brighter.

During the Caliphate of 'Umar, there was a man who forced himself upon a woman and raped her.
When 'Umar heard about this, he had the man whipped and then order the man to be exiled from the land,
He did not say anything to the woman, because there was no blame on her.

Shaykh Ibn Bāz on Sudden Death
It has come in some Aḥādīth that sudden death will be on the rise during the end of times, and it can either be a seizing due to Allāh's Anger, or it could be a source of relief for the believer.
The believer may be stricken with sudden death from a heart attack or other ways, and it would be a relief for him and a bounty from Allāh because he has become upright and prepared for death, so he is taken suddenly while he is in a good state of good and righteous deeds, so he is relieved from the burdens of death and the fatigue that comes with it.
And sudden death can also happen for the wicked one, in the case of the wicked one, it would be a seizing of wrath. Such people would be taken by surprise while they are in the worst state!
May Allāh grant us overall wellness and we seek refuge with Him.
جاء في بعض الأحاديث ما يدل على أن موت الفجأة يكثر في آخر الزمان، وهو أخذة غضب للفاجر، وراحة للمؤمن، فقد يصاب المؤمن بموت الفجأة بسكتة أو غيرها، ويكون راحة له ونعمة من الله عليه؛ لكونه قد استعد واستقام وتهيأ للموت، واجتهد في الخير، فيؤخذ فجأة وهو على حالة طيبة، على خير وعمل صالح، فيستريح من كروب الموت، وتعب الموت، ومشاق الموت.
وقد يكون بالنسبة إلى الفاجر، قد يقع هذا بالنسبة إلى الفجار وتكون تلك الأخذة أخذة غضب عليهم، فوجئوا على شر حال، نسأل الله العافية. نعوذ بالله. نعم.
