Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:

“The path that leads to Allāh is one. And it is His Straight Path [Sirāt al-Mustaqīm].

All of the other paths are paths of Shaytān.”

[Majmū' Rasā'il 4/425]

Regarding the saying of Allaah تعالى:

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.❞

📚[Tareeq al-Hijratain (1/255)]

Anas b. M!ālik رضي الله عنه stated:

"Whenever there is betrayal in the home, the blessings leave from the home."

【Makārim Al-Akhlāq (1/71)】

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ:

"إِذَا كَانَتْ فِي الْبَيْتِ خِيَانَةٌ ذَهَبَتْ مِنْهُ الْبَرَكَةُ".

【مكارم الأخلاق للخرائطي١/ ٧١】

SUCH MEN ARE NOT DESERVING OF GOOD WOMEN

The wife's good treatment of her husband and her obedience to him should only cause the man to be kinder, more caring, generous, and giving towards his wife. Only a tyrant and wrongdoer would respond to the kindness, dutifulness, and care of his wife with abuse, mistreatment, and injustice. Such men are not deserving of good women.

Prayer Attracts Provision

Shaykh ul-Islam Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawzeeyah [رحمه الله] said:

‏«الصلاة مجلبة للرزق حافظة للصحة، دافعة للأذى مطردة للأدواء، مقوية للقلب مبيضة للوجه، مفرحة للنفس مذهبة للكسل.»

❝Prayer attracts provisions, preserves health, it defends against harm, repels diseases. It strengths the heart and illuminates the face. It gives delight to the soul and removes laziness.❞

[Zaad Al-Maad, (4/304) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

The 3 afflictions which daily affect every human being:

Everyday and every night, the children of Aadam are affected by the 3 afflictions. Not a day goes by except that they are afflicted by all the 3 of them.

🌴🌴🌴

THE FIRST AFFLICTION:

His lifespan is reduced everyday. He does not care much about his lifespan being reduced, but if there is any reduction in his wealth, he starts worrying. What he forgets is that wealth is recoverable but not the lifespan.

🌴🌴🌴

THE SECOND AFFLICTION:

Everyday he consumes the sustenance provided to him by Allaah. If it is Halaal, he will be questioned about it [Surah al-Takaathur (102): 8]. But if it is through Haraam means, then he will be punished for it; and no one knows the extent of the punishment except Allaah.

🌴🌴🌴

THE THIRD AFFLICTION:

Everyday he is nearing the Aakhirah by some distance; while at the same time he is being distanced from this worldly life by some distance. But his concern for the EVERLASTING HEREAFTER is nothing as compared to his concern for this FLEETING WORLD. He does not know if his abode will be the highest station in Paradise or the lowest depths of Hell.

💢💢💢

اللهم لا تجعل الدنيا أكبر همنا، ولا مبلغ علمنا ، ولا إلى النار مصيرنا ، واجعل الجنة هي دارنا

O Allaah! Do not make this world our greatest concern, nor the limit of our knowledge. And do not set our path leading towards Hell. And make Paradise our final abode.

Muhammad ibn Ka’b said:

“Whoever [always] reads the Qur’ān will be blessed with his intellect, even if he is two hundred years old!”

💡Al-Bidāyah Wa An-Nihāyah: 9/270

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎”I once attended fajr prayer with Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله; he then sat and remembered Allāh until it was nearly midday. He then turned around and said to me,

‎This is my early morning meal, if I do not take this breakfast, my strength will drop.”

[Al-Wābil as-Sayyib | Pg. 60]

Feeding people is from branches of Eemaan..

It is better for a man to leave one haram dirham than to give a hundred thousand in charity.

Imam Malik (رحمه الله)

Jabir رضي الله عنه related that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

‎❝Friday is comprised of twelve hours.
‎There is one in which a Muslim who asks Allaah for something will have it granted to him.
‎Seek it in the last hour after ‘Asr.❞

Imām ‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

*‎"Friday is the day of worship, its comparison to other days like the comparison of the month of Ramadan to other months and the hour in it is like the Night of Decree in Ramadan."*

‎📚[Zaad Al-Ma’aad,1398]

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri رضي الله عنه reported the Prophet ﷺ said:

*“Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday, a light will shine for him between this Friday and the next.”*

📚[al-Sunan al-Kubra‌ lil-Bayhaqi‌: 5996]

Anas رضي الله عنه reported:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: *“Increase your supplications for me on the day and night of Friday. Whoever blesses me once, Allah will bless him ten times.”*

📚[al-Sunan al-Kubra‌: 5854]

Narrated by Jaabir ibn ‘Abdillah رضي الله عنه who said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

*“The day of Friday has twelve hours, in which there is no Muslim slave who asks Allah for anything but He will grant it to him, so seek it in the last hour after ‘Asr.”*

📚[Reported by Abu Dawood (1048) and an-Nasaa’i (1389); classed as saheeh by an-Nawawi in al-Majmoo, 4/47]

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

*"There is such an hour on Friday, that if any Muslim makes Du’ā during it, his Du’ā will be accepted."*

📚[صحيح البخاري ٥٢٩٥، صحيح مسلم ٨٥٢]

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

*“A time when Du’ās will be accepted is during the last hour of ‘Asr on Jumu’ah.”*

📚[زاد المعاد ١/١٠٤]

Narrated Salman Al-Farsi: Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) said,

*“Anyone who takes a bath on Friday and cleans himself as much as he can and puts oil (on his hair) or scents himself; and then proceeds for the prayer and does not force his way between two persons (assembled in the mosque for the Friday prayer), and prays as much as is written for him and remains quiet when the Imam delivers the Khutba, all his sins in between the present and the last Friday will be forgiven.”*

GAIN LOT OF GOOD DEEDS FROM WINTER SEASON

‎كان عبيد بن عمير رحمه الله
‎ يقول إذا جاء الشتاء :
‎   يا أهل القرآن :
‎طال الليل لصلاتكم .
‎وَقَصر النَّهَار لصيامكم .
‎فَاغتنموا .

Ubaid Ibn 'Omair رحمه الله used to say if winter came:

"O people of the Qur'ān, the nights have lengthened for your prayers and the days have shortened for your fasting so take advantage."

‎● [المصنف لابن أبي شيبة ٩٨٣٦]

The story of Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام teaches us a profound lesson in destiny (Qadr).

Betrayed by his brothers, sold as a slave, and unjustly imprisoned—each trial was a stepping stone in his  journey to becoming Egypt’s treasurer.

Imagine if his life had taken a different course, without these hardships.

Would he have been positioned to save Egypt from famine and reunite his family?

Every trial, while painful, was crafted by Allāh سبحانه و تعالى for a greater purpose only He could see.

Next time you face a setback, remember that you may be exactly where you need to be for a future that’s yet unseen.

Towards the end of his life, Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام reflected, “He was truly kind to me when He freed me from prison, and brought you all from the desert after Satan had ignited rivalry between me and my siblings. Indeed my Lord is subtle in fulfilling what He wills. Surely He ˹alone˺ is the All-Knowing, All-Wise.” (Qur’an 12:100).

Key takeaways from this verse:

1 - Instead of blaming his siblings for what happened, he attributed their mistake to being an influence from Satan.

2 - He understood that Allāh works in ways that we can never understand and that He fulfils our wishes in subtle ways.

After everything he’d been through, Yusuf عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ was grateful to his Lord!

Do not attach yourself to any worldly thing, even if it is very beautiful. True attachment should be to Allah alone. Be thankful for the Rizq you receive from Allah, and for what you do not receive, still say Alhamdulillah—
