"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.

Have u abandoned the Quran since Ramadaan?
On Judgement Day: "And the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people ABANDONED this Quran" [Surah Al Furqaan: 30]
Imaam Ib al Qayyim (رحمة الله) said:
Hajr (boycotting) the Qur'an is of different types:
[1] To abandon listening to it, belief in it and not paying attention to it
[2] To abandon acting upon it, and not judging by it in the fundamentals and branches of the religion, and that it does not give one certainty; and that what its words/statements indicate of evidences does not lead to knowledge.
[3]To abandon contemplating upon it; to abandon seeking to understand it and acquiring knowledge of what Allaah intends by it and abandoning its remedies.
All these types of Hajr (boycotting) are included in the statement of Allaah; 'And the Messenger Muhammad will say: O my Lord! My people deserted this Qurýaan' [Surah al Furqaan: 30] even though some of these types of boycotting are less serious than others [Al Fawaa-id; page: 132]

📚Is your MAIN concern the Akhira or Dunya?
It was narrated that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever is mainly concerned about the Hereafter, Allaah will make him feel independent of others and will make him focused and content, and his worldly affairs will fall into place.
But whoever is mainly concerned with this world, Allaah will make him feel in constant need of others and will make him distracted and unfocused, and he will get nothing of this world except what is decreed for him.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2389; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6510).
