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).”

Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2509); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami‘ (2595).

Umar ibn Khattab رضي الله عنه said

"Do not speak about that which does not concern you, Know your enemy and be wary of your friend except for the trustworthy one. No one is trustworthy, except for the person who fears Allah.

Do not walk with the evildoer, lest he teaches you some of his wickedness; and do not reveal your secrets to him, and When you consult others in your affairs, consult only those who fear Allah."

[صفات الصفوة جلد رقم ١، صحفة ١٤٩]

Dear brothers,

You have to take life and religion seriously.

If you've been Muslim for 5-10 years or more, by now you should know the fundamentals of your religion; the nullifiers of Islam, fasting and wudu; how to recite Qur'an correctly or with minimum mistakes; some knowledge of Arabic; key events in the life of the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them); how to recite adhan; how to lead a congregation in Salah (including Jumu'ah) especially when called upon; how to bury someone; and more.

If you don't know any of these things, now is the time to learn. There are no excuses. You're an adult man. You don't go through monthly periods, nor do you go through labour and child birth. You've got plenty of time and hours in the day. Reduce your time playing games and socialising if you have to.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

An open letter to those who are tired of being strong:

People believe you are strong. It’s because you face every challenge in silence. No one sees you break down and you’ve learned how to hide your struggles from the world. You can still manage to laugh, as if nothing is wrong. But the truth is that your heart feels heavy. You are the one who gives advice, the one people turn to when they need comfort, even though you also need what you are giving.

They say you are strong. It’s because you never show signs of weakness. Even though you have a lot of problems, you remain calm. No one catches you lost in thought, overwhelmed by everything you are going through.

They say you are strong. But the truth is, no one ever asks if you are really okay. You also long for conversations where you can be vulnerable about your sadness and fears and not just about happiness and success. You want someone to see the sadness you hide behind your wide smiles and is willing to wait until you can finally accumulate enough courage to share.

They say you are strong. But the truth is, you are also scared and sad. Everything feels like crumbling and you are afraid that even the last brick of hope you are holding onto will also fall apart.

{Sahih Muslim 2162 b}

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
Six are the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim. It was said to him: Allah’s Messenger, what are these? Thereupon he said: When you meet him, offer him greetings;when he invites you to a feast accept it. when he seeks your council give him, and when he sneezes and says:” All praise is due to Allah,” you say Yarhamuk Allah (may Allah show mercy to you) ; and when he fails ill visit him; and when he dies follow his bier.
