Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:

"And the miskīn, the true miskīn, is the one who wasted his life learning what he does not practice, thus he looses the pleasures of the Dunyā and the goodness of the Ākhirah. (In addition to) Coming forth bankrupt (on the Day of Judgment) with strong evidences against himself.

Obstacles in the path of Seeking Knowledge

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“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.”

[The Way to Patience & Gratitude | Pg. 190-191]

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 }

Sh. ʿAbdur-Razzāq al-Badr Hafiẓahullāh said:

“From the GREATEST forms of kindness towards parents (Birr al-Wālidayn) is to make DŪʿĀ for (Allāh's) Mercy and Forgiveness upon them — be they alive or dead — with the condition that they are or were Muslims..”

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.

Is the Qur'aan at the forefront of your life ie do you spend time memorising reciting, listening & understanding the Qur'aan or have u abandoned the Kalaam of Allah?

I'M STILL YOUR MOM 🤍
When you no longer listen or care what I say.

I'm still your Mom.
When you decide I'm old fashioned and want to go your own way.

I'm still your Mom.
When you talk back, complain and argue.

I'm still your Mom.
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'm still your Mom.
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* .”


Abu Dawud as-Sijistani, As-Sunan | 554 1/151

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]

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Adi bin Hamra [Az-Zuhri]:
"I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) standing at Al-Hazwarah, and he said: "By Allah! You are the best of Allah's earth, and the most beloved of Allah's earth to Allah, and if it were not that I was expelled from you I would not have left."

عبداللہ بن عدی بن حمراء زہری کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو «حزوراء» ( چھوٹا ٹیلہ ) پر کھڑے دیکھا، آپ نے فرمایا:
”قسم اللہ کی! بلاشبہ تو اللہ کی سر زمین میں سب سے بہتر ہے اور اللہ کی زمینوں میں اللہ کے نزدیک سب سے محبوب سر زمین ہے، اگر مجھے تجھ سے نہ نکالا جاتا تو میں نہ نکلتا“

۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں یہ حدیث حسن غریب صحیح ہے، اسے یونس نے بھی زہری سے اسی طرح روایت کیا ہے، اور اسے محمد بن عمرو نے بطریق: «أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم» روایت کیا ہے، اور زہری کی حدیث جو بطریق: «أبي سلمة عن عبد الله بن عدي ابن حمراء» آئی ہے وہ میرے نزدیک زیادہ صحیح ہے۔

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَمْرَاءَ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاقِفًا عَلَى الْحَزْوَرَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكِ لَخَيْرُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ وَأَحَبُّ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي أُخْرِجْتُ مِنْكِ مَا خَرَجْتُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏ وَرَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ وَحَدِيثُ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَمْرَاءَ عِنْدِي أَصَحُّ ‏.‏

The ruling on placing an innoscription on the grave stating the name of the deceased, the date of his death etc.

“It is not permissible to write on the grave [i.e. headstone] of the deceased, neither Qur'anic Āyāt, nor anything else, whether in metal, on a sign or on anything else. This is because of what has been authentically reported from the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ via the Hadeeth of Jābir رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ, he [صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ] forbade plastering over the graves, sitting on them and building over them. This was narrated by [Imām] Muslim in his Saheeh and [Imām] at-Tirmidhi, and [Imām] an-Nasa’i, added with an authentic chain of narrators, [‘and writing on them].’

Translation: Authentic Quotes

When you want to take revenge or put someone in their place for hurting you remember Allah's justice, punishment and judgment is better than yours.

Trying to settle scores in this life will leave you bitter, empty, agitated, anxious and resentful.

And in trying to settle scores you will become an oppressor. Let me explain. If someone slaps you, can you slap them back exactly with the same intensity? Not harder and not softer? Can the revenge be exact?

It never is.

Let go.
Leave the fate of bad people in the hands of Allah.

Say "Allah such and such person has truly hurt me, denied me and has broken my trust - deal with them, I entrust my affairs with you and protect me from their further fitna"

And say...

Hasbi Allahu wanimal wakeel.

Only strong people can do this though. Who truly trust and depend on Allah.

📖 And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination
{Surah Ash Shuara 42: Verse 43}

Weak people will take revenge, make things worse, shout scream, name call and escalate tensions, lose their peace of mind and sometimes even their health.

💕 I have never regretted my silence. As for my speech, I have regretted it over and over again.
- Umar Ibn Al Khattab (ra)

🤲 Ya Allah protect us from becoming slaves to our emotions - ameen!

Abu Darda رضيي used to say about people, “We know you better than a veterinarian knows his animals. We surely know the best of you from the worst of you. As for the best of you, goodness is expected from them and you feel safe from their evil. As for the worst of you, goodness is not expected from them, none are safe from their evil, and they do not emancipate slaves.”

As we grow older, we come to realize that the true measure of our relationships isn't about the length of time we've known someone, but rather the depth of connection we share. It's the people who make us feel seen and heard, who validate our experiences and support us through challenges, that truly matter. These connections remind us of our worth, providing a sense of appreciation and love that transcends years. In the end, it’s not the quantity of friends that counts, but the quality of those who genuinely enrich our lives, making every moment together a treasured experience.

THE SUPPLIES FOR ALL THINGS ARE WITH ALLĀH

ALLĀH says:

وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ عِندَنَا خَزَايِنُهُ
And there is not a thing, but the supplies for it are with Us,

ALLĀH tells us that HE is the Owner of all things, and that everything is easy for HIM. HE has the supplies for all things with HIM.

وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلاَّ بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
and WE do not send it down but in a known measure.

meaning, as HE wills and as HE wants. Doing so out of HIS great wisdom and mercy towards HIS servants, in a way that HE is under no obligation to do. But HE has decreed mercy for HIMSELF.

Yazid bin Abi Ziyad reported from Abu Juhayfah that Abdullāh said: "No year has more rain than another, but ALLĀH divides the rain between them as HE wills, it rains here a year and there a year. Then he recited:

وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ عِندَنَا خَزَايِنُهُ
(And there is not a thing, but the supplies for it are with US...).

{Tafsi‌r Ibn Kathīr}

Abu Umamah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH said, "Verily, the Holy Spirit inspired in my mind that a soul will never die until it finishes its term and consumes its provision. Thus, be graceful in seeking provision, and let not one of you allow the delay of provision to compel him to seek it by disobedience. Verily, ALLĀH does not grant what is with HIM but by obedience to HIM." {H‌ilyat al-Awliya‌’ 14924}

Jabir (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "Were the son of Adam to flee from his provision as he flees from death, his provision would surely reach him just as death will reach him." {H‌ilyat al-Awliya‌’ 7/90}

Remember that everything has already been well-written by Allahu Ta'ala. The pain that you're feeling, the heartbreaks, disappointments, everything. Those were already planned. They're bound to happen by the will of Allah. And what you can do is tawakkul. Surrender everything to Him, and trust His plans.

For surely, if things had been written for you to fall apart then, there must already been solutions arranged before they happen. Bi idhnillah. 🕊️

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Shall I not tell you of something that is better than fasting, prayer and giving charity? ” They said: Yes indeed. He said: “Reconciling between people, for causing division among people is the ‘shaver’ (that shaves one of religious commitment).”
