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).

What is Hasad [Envy] In Islām?
Hasad in Islām means the desire for the blessings of the envied to transition to the envier.
Hadith: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said,
“Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of Allāh as brothers."
Sahīh Bukhārī [no. 6065]
- Imām Ibn Qayyim mentions:
To envy is to desire the removal of Allāh’s Blessings from their owner. This is the first level of envy. The second level is to hope misfortune follows the servant [as a shadow would follow its object]. On this level the envious one wishes that the object of their envy remains ignorant, poor, weak, and hopes that their heart is separated from Allāh.
See Hasad: A Condemnation of Envy and Envious People [pg. 16]
Action Plan:
- Say *تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ* - Tabārak Allāh - May Allāh bless you, when you see a blessing on another Muslim.
Mindset:
- Love for your fellow Muslim what you love for yourself for the sake of Allāh.

Ibrahim ibn Adham رحمه الله said:
I was in the womb of my mother alone. I entered this world alone. I will die alone. I will enter my grave alone. I will be questioned (in my grave) alone. If I enter Paradise, I will enter it alone. If I enter the Hellfire, I will enter it alone. In these places no one will benefit me. Therefore, what interest do I have in people?
I will be resurrected from my grave alone. I will be taken to account alone.
