Narrated by Abū Ruqayyah Tamīm ibn Aws al-Dārī (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Prophet [may the peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him] said: ‘This religion is naṣīḥah [sincerely desiring that which is good for another]. We said: ‘To whom O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘ To Allāh the Exalted in Might, His book, His Prophet [may the peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him], to the leaders of the believers and to the general populace.’

PEOPLE GET RULERS THEY DESERVE.
🎓Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله
“Ponder upon the Hikmah (Wisdom) of Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala ) where He has made people’s leaders, kings and those of authority over them, the same kind as their own deeds. It is as if the people’s deeds appeared in the form of their kings and leaders.If the people are upright, then their kings and rulers will be upright, and if they turn away (from uprightness), then their leaders will turn against them. And if they oppress and tyrannize, then their kings and rulers will tyrannize and oppress.
And if deception and treachery becomes manifest amongst them, then the same will appear in their rulers.If the people refrain from fulfilling the rights of Allah upon them and become niggardly (regarding their execution), then their kings and rulers will refuse to give them their rights and will become niggardly (withhold their rights from them). And if they take away from those whom they oppress that which they deserve not to take, then the kings will take away from the people that which they deserve not to take and will levy taxes and impose tasks upon them.
And whatever the people unjustly take from the oppressed, their kings take the same by force from them. So those in charge of the people appear in the forms of their (the ruled) deeds. And it befits not the Divine Wisdom that the evil and wicked be ruled except by those of the same kind. And since the early [Muslims] were the best and most righteous of generations, their rulers were of the same standing. But when the people turned weak, their rulers turned to be of their own rank.
So it befits not the Hikmah (Wisdom) of Allah in these times that rulers the like of Mu’aawiyah and Umar bin Abdulaziz, be in charge over us, and even less the like of Abu Bakr and Umar. Rather, our rulers are in accordance with our own rank and standing, and the ones who ruled those before us were (also) in accordance with these people own rank and standing. And both matters (the status of the former rulers and those of this time) are as necessitated and entailed by [Allah’s] Hikmah"

Can you imagine?
We are living in a time when all the sins of the earlier generations have come together - the sins of the people of Noah, Fir
“This is an expression of amazement at people’s attitude and at the fact that no reminder moves them, and they do not pay any attention to any warner, for their reckoning has drawn near and the requital for their deeds, both good and bad, is at hand, but they are turning away in heedlessness, paying no attention to the purpose for which they were created, ignoring that of which they have been warned as if they were created for this world and were born merely to enjoy physical pleasures therein. Allaah keeps renewing the reminder and exhortation to them, but they persist in their negligence and turning away.” [1]
A lot of people are living in heedlessness and ignorance. Many people are behaving like there is no questioning in the grave, no Resurrection, no Judgment, no Reckoning, that they will not be held accountable to Allaah سبحانه وتعالى for their actions!
In our time, there has been an ever increase in the number of men who behave like Dayyooth (cuckold) [2]. Immorality, foolishness, chaos, disorder, confusion, and ignorance are on the rise. There are women who are behaving like men and men who are behaving like women!
May Allaah have mercy on us, we should ever increase in our supplication:
يَا مُقَلِّبَ القُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبُنَا عَلَى دِينِكَ
❝O Controller of the hearts, keep our hearts firm upon Your religion.❞ [3]
O Allaah! Grant us a good end.
O Allaah! Forgive us, have mercy on us, and rectify our affairs.
May Allaah show us the truth as truth and help us to follow it. And may Allaah show us the falsehood as falsehood and help us to shun it.
Notes:

[2] Dayyooth (a man with no protective jealousy for his wife/daughter/sister. He is the one who approves of evil conduct in his family. He allows them to intermingle with non-Mahram men. He sees them doing something objectionable but does not feel bad or stop them.)
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝There are three at whom Allaah will not look at on the Day of Resurrection:
1) The one who disobeys his parents,
2) the woman who imitates men in her outward appearance,
3) and the Dayyooth (cuckold).
And there are three who will not enter Paradise:
1) The one who disobeys his parents,
2) the drunkard,
3) and the one who reminds people of what he has given them.❞
[Sunan al-Nasaa’ee (2562) and graded as “Hasan Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
[3] Sunan al-Tirmidhee and Sunan Ibn Maajah, and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. Anas رضي الله عنه narrated that Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ used to say this quite frequently.

aun, Loot, Haamaan, and Qaaroon, yet Allaah تعالى is merciful to all of us.
We are living in an age that seems worse than Jaahiliyyah, but the scary thing is that Allaah تعالى will not send another Prophet or Messenger to guide us or rectify our affairs!
And scarier than this is that the people are arguing, questioning, doubting, and denying the very foundation of this Deen!
People do not care about the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, except those upon whom our Lord has mercy.
May Allaah have mercy on us and rectify our affairs. The most clear Aayah that describes our situation is:
اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ
{Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near, while they turn away in heedlessness}
[Surah al-Anbiyaa (21):1]
More than 1,400 years have passed since this Aayah was revealed, and the passing of every moment is bringing us closer and closer to the Day of Judgment, yet we are drowning in our heedlessness.
As the poet said:
People are in their heedlessness...
…while the millstone of death is grinding.
Shaikh al-Sadee رحمه الله commented on this Aayah, saying:“This is an expression of amazement at people’s attitude and at the fact that no reminder moves them, and they do not pay any attention to any warner, for their reckoning has drawn near and the requital for their deeds, both good and bad, is at hand, but they are turning away in heedlessness, paying no attention to the purpose for which they were created, ignoring that of which they have been warned as if they were created for this world and were born merely to enjoy physical pleasures therein.

It is upsetting to see many people, who claims to be a 'MUSLIM' yet their doings and mannerisms are from what they appear as. In reality, when it comes to western education, they are in race to achieve the profession they want to have— to the point that they already forgot their Deen, without realizing that those achievements will not benefit them to their afterlife. SubhanAllāh al-Atheem.
In a world that often glorifies hustle culture and the constant competition for worldly achievements, it's important as Muslims to stay grounded and prioritize what truly matters, and that's our Akhirah.
Instead of getting caught up in the rat race of this Dunya, we should focus on nurturing our faith, seeking knowledge, and embodying the values and the teachings of Islam — inline with the Qur'ān and Sunnah. It is about finding a balance between our worldly pursuits and our hereafter.
Always put in mind that nothing in this Dunya belongs to us and we should not get attached to it, rather we should prepare for the hereafter, instead of following the doings of the Kuffar that is USELESS and will put us in Jahannam.
Let us strive to excel in both our worldly endeavors and our commitment to Islam, knowing that our true success lies in the pleasure of Allah.

Some poets said: Oh, those who fear the Tatars... seek refuge in the grave of Abu Umar, or he said: seek protection in the grave of Abu Umar... it will save you from harm.
So I said to them: These people you're seeking help from, if they were with you in battle, they would flee. (Meaning going to graves and asking help will not be a reason of victory, victory is due to doing Jihad).

Do you want to know of a deed which was more dearer to the prophet ﷺ than doing i’tikaaf for 2 months in Masjid an Nabawi? You’re thinking, it must be some deed that is more arduous than two months of i’tikaaf in the second most blessed place on earth, ie the prophet ﷺ masjid.
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, which of the people is dearest to Allah? And which deeds are dearest to Allah? The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The dearest of people to Allah, may He be exalted, is the one who does most benefit to people, and the dearest of deeds to Allah, may He be exalted, is joy that you bring to a Muslim, or relieving him of distress, or paying off debt for him, or dispelling his hunger. And to walk with a brother to meet his needs is dearer to me than observing i‘tikaaf in this mosque – meaning the mosque of Madinah – for a month.”
Narrated by at-Tabaraani (12/453); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Targheeb (955).
Helping others holds such a virtue with Allah, as mentioned in the Hadith, it is from amongst the most dearest deeds to Him سبحانه و تعالى. showing care, compassion and kindness in action by aiding someone to relieve them from their difficulty instills so much positivity in society Subhan’Allah, Allah encourages this by attaching great reward for the practitioner. If everyone adopted this mentality society would indeed change. So go and find someone in need in your locality and help them out. It could be even helping out with some jump leads to a brother who’s car battery is flat. Something as basic as that will bring you immense reward as mentioned earlier.

The tough part about being tested by Allah is that you know that in the end, everything will be in your best interest. You need to keep reminding yourself of all those times you are crying in sujood, struggling to keep your faith, make ends meet, or keep healthy relationships with those around you. Allah will test you like he tested the Prophets. Be patient and let your worries depend on His plans.

And he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When a man dies, all his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity (sadaqah jaariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous son who will pray for him.” Narrated by Muslim (1631).
These hadiths indicate that the one who teaches someone beneficial knowledge will have reward like that of the one who benefits from this knowledge, and that that reward will continue, uninterrupted, for everyone who learns this knowledge through him.
Hence the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) will have a reward like that of the entire ummah.
Al-Minnaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
All our good and righteous deeds, and the acts of worship of every Muslim, are written in the record of our Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), in addition to what he himself has of reward, and he will attain multiple reward, many times the number of his ummah, beyond reckoning, such as the human mind is not able to grasp. For everyone who guides people, shows them the righteous path and teaches them will have reward until the Day of Resurrection. A similar reward will be accredited to his shaykh who guided him, and the shaykh of his shaykh will have twice as much, the third shaykh will have four times as much, the fourth shaykh will have eight times as much, and so on; at every link in the chain, it will be multiplied, all the way back to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
So if we assume that there are ten links in the chain of transmission of knowledge after the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) will have one thousand and twenty-four rewards. If an eleventh link follows the tenth, then the reward of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him will be two thousand and forty-eight, and so on. Every time another link is added, the reward of those who came before him will be multiplied, until the Day of Resurrection. This is something that no one can calculate except Allah, so how about if we take into account the great number of the Sahaabah and Taabi‘een, and the Muslims in each era?
For each one of the Sahaabah, as a result of their actions, there will be rewards like those of all the people in the links until the Day of Resurrection. All the reward attained by the Sahaabah will also be accredited to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). Thus it becomes clear that the early generations (salaf) are superior to the later generations (khalaf), and that the more the later generations earn of reward, the more the reward of the early generations will increase and multiply. Whoever reflects on this meaning and is helped and guided by Allah will be motivated to teach others and spread knowledge, so that his reward will be multiplied during his life and after his death, without ceasing, and he will refrain from introducing innovations (bid‘ah) and wronging others by collecting unjust levies (mukoos) and otherwise, for this will multiply his sins and bad deeds in the manner described, so long as there is anyone who is still doing that. So let the Muslim reflect on this meaning, and think of how blessed the one who promotes the path of good will be and how wretched the one who promotes the path of evil will be." (Fayd al-Qadeer 6/170).
