It was narrated that Abu Al-Aliyah said:
"Ibn Abbas said: "On the morning of Al-Aqabah, while he was on his mount, the Messenger of Allah said to me: "Pick up (some pebbles) for me." So I picked up some pebbles for him that were the size of date stones or fingertips, and when I placed them in his hand he said: "Like these. And beware of going to extremes in religious matters, for those who came before you were destroyed because of going to extremes in religious matters."

Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radiallahu'anhu):
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the afternoons, and during the last hours of the nights."

This is written specifically for you:
هذا العالم محدود بالزمن
This world is limited by time.
هذه الحياة الدنيا زائلة
This worldly life is fleeting.
فاجعلها في طاعة الله
Use it upon obedience.
وعلّم نفسك القناعة
And teach your soul contentment.
Ibn al-Jawzi, in Disciplining the Soul, warned against the disease of wanting more, saying: “He who spends days hoarding wealth out of fear of poverty lives in poverty itself.”
He observed how people exhaust themselves chasing wealth, yet never attain what they desire, often dying on the path of greed, leaving behind all they worked for.
Today, we may not cross deserts or load mules, but we still chase endlessly—more wealth, more status, more possessions. We waste time longing for what we don’t have: a better job, a richer or prettier spouse, a bigger home. Yet we neglect what we do have—our families, our blessings, our deen.
Ibn al-Qayyim reminds us: “Patience is half of Īmān, and gratitude is the other half.” (عدّة الصّابرين وذخيرة الشّاكرين).
Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have, fostering contentment and a heart rich with appreciation.
A wise person reflects on the brevity of life and the permanence of the Hereafter. This world is but a bridge, and no one makes a bridge their home.
The Prophets lived this wisdom. Prophet Nūh stayed content in a wool house for 950 years. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) lived in a simple mud house, and many days passed in his household without a fire being lit because there was no food to cook.
They understood that true wealth lies not in the possession of luxuries but in the richness of the heart.

🔺 *Debt is a very serious matter, indeed*🔺
By Asma bint Shameem
Many people have adopted a very casual approach to being in debt and take out loans, not for some urgent need, but because they want to unnecessarily keep up with others in buying bigger homes, faster cars, more furniture or clothes or other temporary luxuries of this life.
But taking loans and being in debt is a GRAVE matter.
Islaam takes the matter of debt very seriously and warns against it and urges the Muslim to avoid it as much as possible.
And I am NOT talking about taking an “interest based” loan.
That is forbidden for SURE.
The kind of loan I am talking about is one WITHOUT interest, one that does NOT involve Ribaa;
The kind that is *allowed*, yet *discouraged* in Islaam.
And yet, we don’t see it as such.
🔺 *1) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to seek protection from it.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to say in his prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ
“Allaahumma inni a’oodhi bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram
“O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from sin and heavy debt.”
Someone said to him: “How often you seek refuge from heavy debt!”
He said: “When a man gets into debt, he speak and tells lies, and he makes a promise and breaks it.”
(al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
🔺 2) The person in debt will not enter Jannah until the debt is paid off!
Muhammad ibn Jahsh radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“We were sitting with the Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam when he raised his head towards the sky, then he put his palm on his forehead and said:
“Subhaan-Allaah!
What a strict issue has been revealed to me!”
We remained silent and were afraid. The following morning I asked him:
“O Messenger of Allaah, what is this strict issue that has been revealed?”
He said,
“By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were killed in battle for the sake of Allaah, then brought back to life, then killed and brought back to life again, then killed, and he owed a debt, he would not enter Jannah until his debt was paid off.” (al-Nasaa’i- hasan by al-Albaani)
🔺 3) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) didn’t pray his Janazah!
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) did not lead the funeral prayer for someone who had died owing three dinars, until Abu Qataadah radhi Allaahu anhu said:
O Allah's Messenger! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the salat (prayer).
(al-Bukhaari)
🔺 4) Freedom from debt makes entry into Jannah EASY.
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“Whoever dies free from three things – arrogance, cheating and debt – will enter Jannah.”
(al-Tirmidhi (1572); saheeh by al-Albaani)
🔺 5) The soul of the one in debt is suspended!
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“Your companion is being detained by his debt.” (Abu Dawood- hasan by al-Albaani).
And he said:
“The soul of the believer is held hostage by his debt in his grave until it is paid off.”
(at-Tirmidhi: saheeh by al-Albaani)
🍃 Explaining this hadeeth al-Suyooti said:
“It (soul) is detained and kept from reaching its noble destination.
🍃 Al-‘Iraaqi said:
“No judgment is passed as to whether it will be saved or doomed until it is determined whether his debt will be paid off or not.”
🔺 Statements of Sahaabah regarding debt
🍃 Umar ibn al-Khattaab said:
“Beware of debt, for it starts with worry and it ends with war.”
(Maalik in al-Muwatta).
🍃 And Ibn ‘Umar said:
“O Humraan, fear Allaah and do not die in debt, lest it be taken from your good deeds when there will be no dinars and no dirhams.”
🔺 When is taking a loan permissible?
The Ulama warn us about how difficult the issue of debt is, and that it should not be undertaken except in cases of necessity.
Based on this, there are three conditions for debt to be permissible:
🍃 1- The borrower should be determined to repay it.
🍃 2- It should be known or thought most likely that he is able to repay it,

🔺 Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said:
“The debt for which a person will be kept out of Paradise – and Allaah knows best – is that for which he left behind enough to pay it off but he did not leave instructions to that effect, or he was able to pay it off but did not do so, or he took the loan for some unlawful or extravagant matter and died without having paid it off.
As for the one who took a loan for something lawful because he was poor, and he died without leaving behind anything to pay it off, Allaah will not keep him from Paradise because of it, in sha Allaah.”
So take a loan only when absolutely necessary.
And if you are in a situation of debt right now, try your utmost best to pay off your debts as soon as possible.
Strive hard to pay it off, don’t take it lightly, put your trust in Allaah, and pray to Him to make it easy for you to pay off your debt.
🍃 The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“The one who takes people’s wealth intending to pay it back, Allaah will pay it back for him, and the one who takes it intending to destroy it, Allaah will destroy him.”
(al-Bukhaari).
There are a number of duas in the Sunnah that the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to make to help him stay away from all kinds of debt and to pay off any debts a person may have.
We should try and read those duaas and do our best to pay off our debts we may have, as soon as possible.
May Allaah help us to do that. Ameen.

It was narrated that Jabir radhi Allaahu anhu said the Messenger of Allah sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa-Sallam said the likeness of me and you is that of a man who lit a fire and grasshoppers and moths started falling into it, and he tries to push them away. I am seizing your waistband and trying to pull you away from the fire but you are trying to get away from me.
Narrated by Muslim
In this hadith the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam wanted to explain, by giving the likeness, his situation with his ummah, and that he was like a man in the wilderness who lit a fire, then the grasshoppers and moths started to fall into it because that is what moths, grasshoppers and small insects usually do. If someone lights a fire in the wilderness, these insects are attracted towards that light, and the man tries to prevent them from falling into it, but they insist on falling into it. This is how the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam is with his ummah: he is keen to prevent his ummah from following whims and desires and falling into sin and forbidden matters, but they try to free themselves from him and fall into that.
May Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala protect us from being like moths ... A'ameen

*EASE IS NEAR*
ALLAH says: *"ALLĀH will grant after hardship, ease."* {Al-Talāq || Verse 7}
*"So, surely with hardship comes ease."* {Ash-Sharḥ || Verse 5}
Anas ibn Malik (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) was once standing over a hole and he said, *"If hardship were to enter this hole, ease would surely follow it, go inside, and take it out."* {al-Mustadrak ‘alá al-Ṣaḥīḥayn #3552}
Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, *"Know that there is much good in being patient with what you detest, victory will come with patience, relief will come with affliction, and ‘with the hardship will come an ease.’"* (94:5) {Musnad Aḥmad #2803}
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: *"Our Lord, the Almighty, Laughs at the despair of HIS slaves while HIS Change (of their condition from difficulty to ease) is near!!"* {Silsilatul-Ahadith as-Sahīhah #2810}
Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: *"Expecting and hoping for a time of ease. This hope in itself offers a measure of immediate relief."* {Patience and Gratitude || Page 16}
Never underestimate the power of du'a and never think things will always be difficult just because that seems to be the logical expectation after certain things happen in your life. It all comes from ALLĀH. HE has the power to make the difficult easy, and the complicated, uncomplicated. We all knew and believed HE cooled the fire for Ibrahim (peace be upon him), don’t ever think that it is difficult to have your miracle in life, whatever it is for you. Nothing is impossible for ALLĀH. HE will send you ease after whatever hardship you are experiencing. HE will make things possible that didn't seem possible to you. HE can make it happen and HE can make it easy.

And If One Does Not Save Here Then All The Subsequent Bases Will Be Very Difficult For Him.

- إِذا المرءُ لا يرعَاكَ إِلا تكلفاً ... فدعْهُ ولا تُكْثِرْ عليه التَّأَسُّفا
If a person dosen't care for you sincerly Just leave him,and do not grieve over him excessively.
- ففي الناسِ أبدالٌ وفي الترك راحةٌ ... وفي
القلبِ صبرٌ للحَبيْبِ ولو جَفا
For there are replacements among people, and in letting go there is comfort, There is always patience in the heart towards its loved one despite his harshness & coldness.
- فما كُلُّ من تَهْواهُ يهواكَ قلبهُ ... ولا كُلُّ من صافيتَهُ لك قد صَفا
Not everyone you love will love you in return, and not everyone you purify your heart for will purify theirs for you.

- فما كُلُّ من تَهْواهُ يهواكَ قلبهُ ... ولا كُلُّ من صافيتَهُ لك قد صَفا
Not everyone you love will love you in return, and not everyone you purify your heart for will purify theirs for you.

A man once came to Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and said, “O Abud Dardaa, your house has burned down!” Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied, “My house has NOT burned down.” Then another person came and exclaimed, “O Abud Dardaa, your house has burned down.” Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) again replied, “My house has NOT burned down.”
After some time, a third person came and explained, “O Abud Dardaa, I followed the fire. When it reached your house, it went off.” In response, Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) mentioned, “I knew that Allah Ta‘ala, the All-Mighty and Majestic, would not let it happen.”
A man who was present commented saying, “O Abud Dardaa, we do not know which of your statements is more remarkable; your statement, ‘My house has not burned down’, or your statement, ‘I knew that Allah, the All-Mighty and Majestic, would not let it happen!’”
Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied, “It is due to certain words (of du‘aa) which I heard from Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). Whoever says them in the morning will not be struck by a calamity until the evening, and whoever says them in the evening will not be struck by a calamity until the morning. (These words are):
اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّيْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيـْم ِ، مَا شَاءَ اللّٰهُ كَانَ وَمَا لَـمْ يَشَأْ لَـمْ يَكُنْ ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ ، أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ وَأَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا ، ااَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِيْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا ، إِنَّ رَبِّيْ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيْم
‘O Allah! You are my Rabb; there is none worthy of worship except You. I have placed my trust upon You, and You are the Rabb of the Glorious Throne. Whatever Allah Ta‘ala wishes will happen, and whatever He does not wish will not happen. There is no ability (to refrain from sin) and no power (to carry out good deeds) except with (the help of) Allah. I know that Allah is capable of everything, and that Allah Ta‘ala’s knowledge encompasses everything. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my carnal self and from the evil of every creature which You hold by its forelock (i.e. You control). Indeed, my Rabb is on a straight path.’”
(Ad-Du‘aa lit Tabraani #343)
Lessons:
1. The words of Allah Ta‘ala and His Rasool (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) were so deeply embedded within the hearts of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), that they had more conviction on them than on what could be sensed and perceived. It was this very conviction that led Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to completely negate what others had perceived with their very own eyes. If we also endeavour to firmly embed the words of Allah Ta‘ala and His Rasool (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) within our hearts, it will enable us to give preference to the words and commands of Allah Ta‘ala in every facet of our lives as well.
2. When a person has complete trust in Allah Ta‘ala and His promises, he will remain calm even in a crisis. He will understand that every situation is a test from Allah Ta‘ala, and will keep his focus and attention on Allah Ta‘ala’s divine wisdom and power. Thus, we find that Sayyiduna Abud Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was not bothered in the least, despite the possibility of his entire house and its contents being burned.
3. There is great power contained in the du‘aas for protection taught to us by our Master, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), such as the morning and evening supplications. These supplications serve as a shield against misfortunes, provided they are read with the required level of conviction. Whilst the worldly means are adopted by one and all for the purpose of security, these are not guaranteed to be effective. However, the promises of Allah Ta‘ala and His Rasool (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) are guaranteed to be effective. Hence, one should inculcate the habit of reciting these du‘aas daily.

*📌 The best advice I can give you today. STOP DEPENDING ON AND EXPECTING FROM PEOPLE.*
As you go through seasons of life you will quickly realize much of hurt, resentment, cynicism and detachment is because you place too much trust in people and expect alot from people.
Flip that expectation towards Allah alone!
- Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
[Sunan Ibn Majah]
✤ Stop asking people for money.
✤ Stop asking people to help you get married.
✤ Stop coveting what others have.
✤ Stop complaining too much to people.
✤ Stop begging people for appreciation, love and comfort.
✤ Stop having hopes that others will treat you like you treat them.
✤ Stop being afraid of losing people.
- Ibn al-Qayyim (ra)
YOU
WILL
BE
DISAPPOINTED
If you place too much hope in people. Rather work on being self sufficient and depending on Allah alone.
The Angel Jibreel came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said,
[al-Muʻjam al-Awsaṭ 4410]
When you do this people will love you and the more you ask Allah, depend on Allah – Allah will love you.
- Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
[Sahih Bukhari]
*CUT THE ROPE WITH PEOPLE & HOLD ONTO THE ROPE OF ALLAH.*
Make dua to Allah to free you from the need of others. Focus on helping people, focus on being a giver, focus on being a healer and inshaAllah as long as you are helping someone else Allah will continue to help you.
{Surah At-Talaaq 65: Verse 3}
- Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
[Sahih Muslim]
🤲 O Allah! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men.
Ameen!

وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
{and put your trust in Allaah if you are indeed believers.}
📚[Surah al-Maaidah (5): 23]
🎓Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
❝He تعالى has made reliance upon Allaah as a condition for Imaan, and it is an indication that there is absence of Imaan when there is absence of Trust (in Allaah). And whenever the Imaan of a slave gets stronger, his Trust in Allaah gets stronger. If the Imaan in Allaah is weak, then the Trust in Him will also be weak.❞
