Hakim bin Mu'awiyah narrated from his father, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَحْرَ الْمَاءِ وَبَحْرَ الْعَسَلِ وَبَحْرَ اللَّبَنِ وَبَحْرَ الْخَمْرِ ثُمَّ تُشَقَّقُ الأَنْهَارُ بَعْدُ".
"Indeed in Paradise there is a sea of water, and a sea of honey, and a sea of milk, and a sea of wine, then the rivers shall split off afterwards."
📖 Hasan | Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2571

Ibn Taymīyyah رحمه الله stated:
Whoever interprets the Qur’ān or the Hadīth, and his interpretation is in a way other than the known tafsīr from the Sahābah and the Tābi’īn, then he is a slanderer against Allāh, an atheist in the verses of Allāh, and a distorter of words from its place.

FORBID THE EVIL AND COMMAND THE GOOD
Al-Imam Sufyaan (Ath-Thawri) said:
"No one should command the good and forbid the evil except he who has three qualities:
• He is kind when he commands the good and he is kind when he forbids the evil.
• He is just when he commands the good and he is just when he forbids the evil.
• And he is knowledgeable about that which he commands to and he is knowledgeable about that which he forbids." *

Dont go out for 40 days after childbirth its dangerous/ bad luck for mum & baby
Dont clean/vaccum at night its bad luck
Dont take a shower at night u won't get married
Dont cut nails at night its bad luck
Dont open & close scissors ur parents will divorce
Dont cross/step over a child they will stop growing
Wednesday is unlucky,
Number 13 is unlucky
Black cat crossing the road is unlucky
All of these are MYTHS/ SUPERSTITIONS & HAVE NO BASIS IN ISLAM
By believing in these superstitions u commit MINOR SHIRK as instead of putting ur trust in Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala ur relying on the superstition to protect u from harm & bring u good luck
Instead of fearing Allah, ur fearing these myths
So ur worshiping & depending on these myths instead of depending on Allah.

“There is no more glorious objective than having the knowledge of Allāh, His love and company, longing for His meeting and enjoying the sweetness of mentioning His name. This is also the most glorious kind of happiness in the world and the Hereafter; and it is the goal that is sought in its own right.
When the servant leaves this world for the Hereafter, only then does he understands true and perfect happiness. Yet, in the world he cannot reach perfect happiness due to hindrances and tribulations he meets.”

How Islam Deals with Sadness???
Allāh ﷻ knows best for his creation. Allāh can feel our sorrows. Pain and can see our tears. Allāh has the best command on human psyche. When we put our matters on Allāh. The pain definitely subsides.
Allāh is the only one who give relief to broken hearts and shattered souls.
Allāh says in Qur'an.
"If Allāh helps you. None can overcome you; And if Allāh forsakes you. Who is there after Allāh that can help you??? And in Allāh (Alone) let believers put their trust.”
{ 📖 Q.S Ali - Imran | 3:160 }

DEEN IS SINCERITY.
Ash-Shaikh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sa’dee’s (rahimahullah) - Explanation of the Hadeeth: "Deen is Sincerity”
On the authority of Tameem Ad-Daaree (radhiyallaahu ‘anhu-may Allaah be pleased with him) who said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam-may Allaah send blessing and peace upon him) said,
الدين النصيحة ، الدين النصيحة ، الدين النصيحة . قالوا : لمن يا رسول الله ؟ قال : لله ، ولكتابه ، ولرسوله ، ولأئمة المسلمين وعامتهم
“The religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity, the religion is sincerity.” They said, “To who O Messenger of Allaah?” He said,
❤ “To Allaah,
❤ His Book,
❤ His Messenger,
❤ Imaams (Leaders) of the Muslims, and
❤ Common folk.” (Reported by Muslim)
The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam-may Allaah send blessing and peace upon him) repeated this word (Naseehah – sincerity) showing the importance of the status (of it), and giving guidance to the Ummah (Muslim nation) that they should know with true knowledge that religion, all of it – its apparent aspects and its internal aspects – is contained in sincerity. And it (sincerity) is the complete establishment of these five rights.
❤ Sincerity to Allaah is acknowledging the oneness of Allaah, and His uniqueness in His perfect attributes in a manner that no one shares with Him in them in any way whatsoever. It is also the establishment of His worship, both outwardly (with the actions) and inwardly (with the heart). And it is to turn to Him in every time with worship and servitude, and asking Him with hope and fear, along with repenting to Him and constantly asking His forgiveness. This is because the slave of Allaah will definitely have something of shortcomings regarding the obligations of Allaah, or commission of some of the forbidden things. Thus, with continuous repentance and constant seeking of forgiveness, the person’s deficiency is made up for, and his actions and speech are perfected.
❤ Sincerity to Allaah’s Book, then that is by memorizing it, and contemplating it, and learning its words and meanings, and striving to act according to it within oneself and with others.
❤ Sincerity to the Messenger, then it is by believing in him, loving him, and placing him - in regards to love - before oneself, one's wealth and one's children. And it is following him in the fundamentals of the religion and its branches. And it is giving precedence to his speech over the speech of everyone else. It is also striving to follow his guidance and aiding his religion.
❤ Sincerity to the Imaams (leaders) of the Muslims – and they are their authority figures, such as the Great Imaam (the Khaleefah), as well as the rulers (Umaraa’), and the judges, and all of those who have some form of authority, whether it be general or specific. Sincerity to them is in believing in their authority, and listening to them and obeying them, and encouraging the people to do so. It is also doing whatever one is able to do to give them proper direction (guidance) and alerting them to everything that would benefit them and benefit the people, and assisting them in establishing their obligation.
❤ Sincerity to the common folk of the Muslims, then it is by loving for them what one would love for himself, and hating for them what one would hate for himself, and making effort in that regard according to one’s ability. For verily whoever loves something, he strives for it, and he makes effort in making it a reality and perfecting it.
So the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam-may Allaah send blessing and peace upon him) explained sincerity with these five matters, which comprise the establishment of Allaah’s rights, the rights of His Book, the rights of His Messenger, and the rights of all of the Muslims with their different circumstances and statuses. And that contains the religion in its entirety. And nothing is left except that it is included within this comprehensive and all-inclusive statement. And Allaah knows best.

When you talk back, complain and argue.

When you move away and take a piece of my heart with you.
I'm still your Mom.
And I will still love you as much as the first day I held you in my arms.
I'm still your Mom.
And I will pray for you and make sure your wings are strong enough to soar.
I'm still your Mom.
And I'll want what's best and will sacrifice my plans for yours.

I'll always have room for you and a hug to welcome you.
I'm still your Mom.
And until my last breath, I'll keep carrying your love with me. And I will thank God everyday for the privilege and Joy it's been to be called --- your mom.

*Ubayy bin Ka’b -may Allah be pleased with him- said:*
“ *One day, the Messenger of Allahﷺ led us in the subh salah, then asked* , Is so-and-so present? They replied, No. He then asked, Is so-and-so present? They replied, No. *Then heﷺ said,* ’These two prayers are the most difficult prayers for the hypocrites. If you only knew what (reward) was in them, you would have definitely came to them, even if you had to crawl on your knees.
And the first row is similar to the row of angels, if you only knew its blessings you would race one another to it. A person praying with another person is purer than praying alone, and praying with two people is purer than praying with one person, and the more (the people), the more beloved it is to *Allah* .”

Why he was given the nickname "Abu Hurayrah''
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Rafi':
"I said to Abu Hurairah: 'Why were you given the Kunyah Abu Hurairah?' He said: 'Do you not fear me?'" He said: "Indeed, I am in awe of you.' He said: 'I used to tend the sheep of my people, and I had a small kitten; so I used to place it in a tree at night, and during the day I would take it with me and play with it. So they named me Abu Hurairah.'" [at-Tirmidhi 3840, Hasan Darussalam]
