DO YOU WANT ALLAH TO FORGIVE YOU, RAISE YOUR STATUS AND ADMIT YOU TO JANNAH?THEN DO THE FOLLOWING:

1.Hasten towards seeking forgiveness from Allah.
2.Give charity in times of ease and difficulty
3. Restrain your anger and pardon those who offend you.
4.When you commit indecencies and wrong your soul, do a lot of dhikr(remembrance of Allah) and seek forgiveness for your sins.
5.Do not knowingly persist in your sins.

If you do the above, Allah has assured you of forgiveness and a lofty abode in Jannah where you will dwell forever. Indeed, excellent is the reward of the righteous. See Surah Aal Imrān: 133-136.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Wealth does not diminish by giving Sadaqah (charity).
Allah increases the honor of him who forgives and no one will humble himself for Allah’s sake except that Allah raises his status."

[Muslim].

-Abu Muhsin

“Every person who stands for truth, enjoins righteousness and forbids evil, will be harmed in some manner. In such cases, there is no cure better than being patient in Allāh’s cause, trusting in Him and returning to Him.”

[Imām Ibn Kathīr (رحمه الله) in his “Tafsīr” (Vol. 4)]

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Charity does not part with a man until it is freed from the jaws of seventy devils.”

Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever attends the funeral until the prayer has been offered will have one Qirāt (of reward) and whoever attends until the deceased has been buried will have two Qirāts.

It was said: "What are the two Qirāts?"

He ﷺ said: "Like two mountains."

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“Helping Muslims with what they need is more important than secluding oneself for worship, because helping them benefits others and yourself, and doing something that benefits others and yourself is better than doing something that benefits only yourself, except when the deed that only benefits oneself is one of the obligatory and essential duties of Islam.” (Majmu Fatawa wa Rasa’il Al-`Uthaymin (20/180)

"The most intelligent one is he who complains about his grief to Allah (alone)."
-Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله)
[al-Fawa'id | Pg. 127]

Allah says in surah al-A'laa [87]:

[قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ * وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ]

"He has succeeded, the one who gives in charity * and mentions the name of his Lord and prays" (14-15)

Imam al-Qurtubi brought the following narration in part of his tafsir of this ayah:

[قوله تعالى : قد أفلح من تزكى وذكر اسم ربه فصلى ... وروى عنه [يعني عن ابن عباس] عطاء قال : نزلت في عثمان بن عفان - رضي الله عنه - قال : كان بالمدينة منافق كانت له نخلة بالمدينة ، مائلة في دار رجل من الأنصار ، إذا هبت الرياح أسقطت البسر والرطب إلى دار الأنصاري ، فيأكل هو وعياله ، فخاصمه المنافق فشكا ذلك إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فأرسل إلى المنافق وهو لا يعلم نفاقه ، فقال : " إن أخاك الأنصاري ذكر أن بسرك ورطبك يقع إلى منزله ، فيأكل هو وعياله ، فهل لك أن أعطيك نخلة في الجنة بدلها " ؟ فقال : أبيع عاجلا بآجل لا أفعل . فذكروا أن عثمان بن عفان أعطاه حائطا من نخل بدل نخلته ففيه نزلت قد أفلح من تزكى . ونزلت في المنافق ويتجنبها الأشقى .]

'Ataa relayed that ibn 'Abbaas said: these ayaat are about 'Uthman ibn 'Affan.

He said: There was a munafiq in al-Madinah who had a date tree which hung over of house of an Ansari man. When the winds would blow it would knock down both unripe and ripe dates into the property of the Ansari man, which he and those under his care would then eat. The munafiq argued with him about this situation, so the Ansari man complained about this to Allah's Messenger. The Prophet sent for the munafiq, not knowing that he was a munafiq, and said, "This Ansari brother of yours mentioned that your unripe and ripe dates fell into his property and so he and his dependents ate them. So what would say if I were to give you a date tree in Jannah in exchange for that date tree?" The munafiq replied, "That I would sell right now for something else later? I will not do that!" I was told that 'Uthman ibn 'Affan gave him a whole orchard of date trees in exchange for that one date tree of his. So

[قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ]

"He has succeeded, the one who gives in charity"

is about him, while

[وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ]

"But the most wretched one will avoid the reminder"

is about the munafiq.

[Tafsir al-Qurtubi 20/20]

Ahmad (23804), Abu Dawud (3111) and an-Nasa’i (1846) narrated from Jabir ibn ‘Atik رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah ‎ ﷺ said: “What do you consider to be martyrdom?” They said: Being killed in Allah’s cause. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Martyrdom is seven things besides being killed in Allah’s cause. The one who dies of the plague is a martyr, the one who drowns is a martyr, the one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, the one who dies of a stomach disease is a martyr, the one who is burned to death is a martyr, the one who dies beneath a collapsed building is a martyr, and the woman who dies because of pregnancy and childbirth is a martyr.”

Classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud.

An-Nawawi رحمه الله said:

The scholars said: These types of death are only regarded as martyrdom, by the grace of Allah, may He be exalted, because they are so difficult and painful.

The scholars said: What is meant by the martyrdom of all these people, except for the one who is killed in Allah’s cause, is that in the hereafter they will have the same reward as the martyrs. In this world, however, they should be washed (ghusl) and the funeral prayer should be offered for them.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There will come to the people years of treachery, when the liar will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded as a liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful man will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibidah will decide matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ He said: ‘Vile and base men who control the affairs of the people.’”

Sunan Ibn Majah 4036

This is what Hadiths say about Ghazwatul-Hind. 🏴🇮🇳

It was narrated from Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ promised us that we would invade India (Ghazwa-E-Hind). If i live to see that, i will sacrifice myself and my wealth. If i am killed, i will be one of the best of the martyrs, and if i am back, i will be Abu Huraira-Al-Muharrar (the one freed from fire).
[Sunan An-Nisai 1:25:3175]

Narrated by Thawban (رضي الله عنه) the freed slave of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, said: The Prophet ﷺ said, There are two groups of my Ummah whom Allah will free from the fire: The group that invades India, and the group that will be with Isa Ibn Maryam (Peace be upon him).
[Sunan an-Nisa'i 3175, Grade: Hasan Darussalam]

Narrated from Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: Definitely, one of your troop would do war with Hindustan, Allah would grant success to those warriors, as far as they would bring their kings by dragging them in chains/fetters. And Allah would forgive those warriors (by the Blessing of this great war). And when those Muslims would return, they would find Hazrat Isa Ibn Maryam(ءليه اسلام) in Syria.
[Naeem Bin Hammad in Kitab Al-Fitan, number is not known but some Muhaddithun said it's chain is mixed with both sahih setta and weak]

Hazrat Kaab (رضي الله عنه) reported the Prophet ﷺ said: A King of Jerusalem (Bait-ul-Muqaddas) would make troops move forward towards India. The warriors would destroy the land of Hind; would possess its treasures, then King would use those treasures for the décor of Jerusalem. That troops would bring the Indian kings in front of King (of Jerusalem). His warriors by King’s order would conquer all the area between East & West. And would stay in India till the issue of Dajjal”.
[Naeem Bin Hammad on Kitab Al-Fettan there's a hope this Hadith is Sahih Setta because he was the teacher of Imam Bukhari رحمه الله]

Safwan (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Some people of my Ummah will fight India, Allah would grant them success, even they would find the Indian kings being trapped in fetters. Allah would forgive those warriors. When they would move towards Syria, then would find Isa Ibn-e-Maryam (ءليه اسلام) over there”.
[The above-mentioned Hadith is also quoted by Naeem bin Hammad رحمه الله in his book ‘Al-fitan’. Moreover, this hadith is also not included in ‘Sehah Sitta. Additionally, Hadith number 4 and 5 exhibit that the Indians shall be conquered in the future and tells about the forgiveness of believers].

To recapitulate, Muslims have conquered India several times in the past. The Hadiths have become true and some of them going to be true in the future. Many hadiths showcase the name of Hazrat Isa ءليه اسلام which means the conquer of India would be at the time of the revival of Hazrat Isa (ءليه اسلام).

Ibn Kathir (رحمه الله) said: The Muslims invaded India at the time of Mu‘awiyah رضي الله عنه, in 44 AH, and there occurred things which will be explained below. It was also invaded by the great ruler Mahmoud ibn Sabuktagin, the ruler of Ghaznah who conquered India around 400 AH. He invaded the land, where he killed, took prisoners, and captured booty. He entered Somnath where he broke the greatest idol that they used to worship, and he captured its swords and necklaces. Then he returned, safe and victorious.

[Al-Bidaayah wa’n-Nihaayah (6/223)]

Hammood at-Tuwaijri (رحمه الله) said:

What is mentioned in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), which was narrated by Na‘eem ibn Hamaad رحمه الله, about the conquest of India has not happened up till now, but it will happen when ‘Isa Ibn Maryam (ءليه اسلام) descends, if the hadith that says that is saheeh. And Allah knows best. End quote.
[Ithaaf al-Jamaa‘ah (1/366)]

We live in a world where people get upset if they can't use you for their benefit.

Harsh reality.

Ibn Qudamah رحمه الله said:

“Whoever realizes that the Dunya is like ice that melts away, and that the Akhirah is like a pearl that lasts on, his interest in selling the former for the latter will become stronger.”

What has Umrah become today

A certain celebrity from India recently went to Jeddah for a Bollywood themed concert, danced on stage through the night and the very next day went to Makkah (which was just an hour's drive from where she performed) for Umrah with absolutely no sign of guilt or regret.

And then there are the many wanna be vloggers who come for Umrah but are seen spending more time making videos of the fish markets or Jeddah or intruding into the filthy slums of Burmese Refugees, than inside Masjid Al Haraam.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “How many neighbors will be brought with their neighbors on the Day of Resurrection? One will say: O Lord, this man closed his door to me and refused to show courtesy!”

WHAT THE HEART ACQUIRES FROM THE QUR’AN

‎بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Ibn Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:

"Every time a person’s Eeman strengthens with the Qur’an, then Allah gives Yaqeen [certainty] due to the evidences of the Qur’an which cannot be found in any other book.

This is why I encourage you and my self to have complete concern for the Qur’an, reciting it, reflecting upon it and acting upon it.

Experience this for yourself, return to the Qur’an in these matters and see what your heart acquires from Eemaan, delight of the heart, light of the heart and light on the face."

[Sharh al-Kafi ash-Shafi, (4/166)]

Aisha reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him said,

“Two cycles of prayer before the dawn prayer (Fajr) are better than the world and everything in it. They are both more beloved to me than the entire world.”
