Check your Intention and recheck it again
A lot of people are engaging in feeding the people, a very good act that should be encouraged but don't do it to make or promote yourself or your NGO to be POPULAR! Do it for Allah's sake.
إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِیدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَاۤءࣰ وَلَا شُكُورًا

“Surely, we only feed you for the sake of Allah’s face. We do not want from you neither reward, nor thanks"

⭕ *Beware of Oppression & Injustice ‼️*
There are three types of injustice and oppression:
🔻 One that Allâh will not forgive.
🔻 One that Allâh will forgive.
🔻 One that Allâh will not leave unpunished.
The injustice that Allâh will not forgive is Shirk (polytheism), which Allâh has declared unforgivable.
The injustice that Allâh will forgive is the wrongdoing of a servant against himself in matters between him and Allâh.
The injustice that Allâh will not leave unpunished is the oppression of people against one another, and Allâh will avenge some against others.

Your KINDNESS may be treated as WEAKNESS, be KIND anyways.
Your HELP may go UNNOTICED, be HELPFUL anyways.
If you are HONEST, people may CHEAT you, be HONEST anyways.
The GOOD you do today, people will often FORGET tomorrow, DO GOOD anyways.
Because it is between YOU & ALLAH (swt). It was never between YOU & THEM!

Experiencing Continuous Blessings
(Sayyidah Haleemah Sa’diyyah [radhiyallahu ‘anha] – Part Two)
When it was time for the Banu Sa’d to depart from Makkah Mukarramah, Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) bade farewell to Aaminah, the mother of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). She mounted the donkey, carrying Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) along with her, whilst her husband rode their camel.
As they began traveling, her donkey surprisingly began to surpass the other conveyances. On witnessing this, the people were quite amazed as this was the very same donkey which held her back on her way to Makkah Mukarramah due to its weakness. They said from behind, “Take it easy on us. Is this not the same donkey of yours which you had come with?” She replied, “By Allah, yes. This is indeed the very same one.” Hearing this, the women remarked, “By Allah, undoubtedly something truly strange has happened to it.”
Finally, they reached the place where the Banu Sa’d lived in the countryside. At that time, no other region was affected by drought as severely as theirs. Therefore, their goats would not have much to eat and could thus not produce milk. However, the goats of Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) would return home in the evening with udders swollen with milk.
On witnessing this, the people urged their shepherds to graze their goats where the goats of Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) would graze. They complied, but their goats would still come back with empty udders whilst the goats of Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) would return satiated and full of milk. Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) explains, “We continued witnessing an increase and goodness from Allah Ta‘ala until two years passed and I weaned him off.”
Thereafter, Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) took Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to Makkah Mukarramah in order to return him to his mother. Since they were really desirous of keeping Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) with them for a little longer due to the blessings that he had brought to them, Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) pleaded with his mother thus, “(It would be nice) if you would leave him by us until he grows stronger because I fear the plague of Makkah over him.” In this manner, she continued pleading with her until she finally agreed and they returned with him once again.
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) thus remained with them for another two years until he was four. During that time, he even began accompanying his milk-brothers to the grasslands to graze their goats. On one such occasion, the famous incident of the splitting open of the blessed chest of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had taken place. This event left Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) and her husband exceptionally alarmed and concerned for Rasulullah’s (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) well-being. They thus decided that it would be best to return Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to his mother. Therefore, Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) travelled to Makkah Mukarramah and returned Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to the care of his mother.
Nonetheless, Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) had taken excellent care of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) during this time and Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) gained proficiency in the Arabic language. Hence, once while addressing the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) remarked, “I am the most Arab among you, (since) I am from the Quraish, and my dialect (of Arabic) is the dialect of the Banu Sa’d bin Bakr (who spoke very eloquent Arabic).”
After many years, when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was married to Sayyidah Khadeejah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) came to visit Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and explained the dire constraints that they were facing due to a drought that had afflicted them.

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) spoke to Sayyidah Khadeejah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) in this regard, and Sayyidah Khadeejah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) gave Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) forty sheep, as well as a camel.
Thereafter, the next time that Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) had seen Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was after nubuwwah (prophethood) on the occasion of the Battle of Hunain. As she approached Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), he exclaimed, “My mother! My mother!” Such was the love that he (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had for her that he even took his shawl and spread it out for her, upon which she sat. It was on this occasion that she accepted Islam.
(Seerah Ibni Hishaam vol. 1, pgs. 163 – 165, Tabaqaat Ibni Sa’d vol. 1, pgs. 111 – 114, and Sharhuz Zurqaani vol. 1, pgs. 270-282)
Lessons:
1. As long as a person remains connected to the blessed personality of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and to his beautiful teachings, he will continue experiencing goodness, favours and blessings from Allah Ta‘ala.
2. A person must never forget the kindness that people have shown to him, no matter how much of time may have passed and how far in life he may have progressed. Hence, despite Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) being blessed with the high rank of nubuwwah, and despite nearly six decades passing, he showed so much of respect and regard to Sayyidah Haleemah (radhiyallahu ‘anha). If this was the extent that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) went in respecting his foster mother, how much more compassion, love, respect and regard ought to be shown to one’s biological parents.

Origin of Diseases of the Heart:
The disease of doubts and desires is the origin of all the diseases of the heart,
and the Qur'ān is a cure for both types.
It contains *absolute clear proofs and evidence that clarify the truth from falsehood*, resulting in the eradication of the doubts that pollute the knowledge, vision, and apprehension (of the individual). Till he sees everything for what it truly is.
Hence, it is the true cure for the diseases of doubts and uncertainties.
However, that is subject to the individual having insight and understanding* of the intent of it (the Qur'ān).
So, whoever Allāh has granted this, will *see (the distinction between) the truth and falsehood plainly with his heart, just as he sees (the difference between) night and day.*
As for it being a cure for desires, then it is by way of what it contains of wisdom and good admonition which instil hope, fear, Zuhd (abstention from the Dunya) and longing for the hereafter.
(Also, by relaying) parables and tales that carry various forms of admonition and insight.
*Making the sound heart longing for* that which benefits it in the worldly affairs and in the Ākhirah.
And it rejects the things that harm it.
Thereafter the heart becomes one that *loves guidance and detest deviation.*
So, the Qur'ān eliminates all the diseases that compel (the individual) to corrupt desires. (As a result) the heart becomes rectified, and (likewise) the intention becomes rectified.
Thus, it reverts to its Fitrah (natural disposition) upon which it was created.
Thereupon, its voluntary deeds become rectified.
Likewise, the body returns to a (healthy) natural state. Till it comes to a point where *it will not accept anything except the truth."*

Look at the state of some Muslims-
Celebrating and congratulating each other over the Gregorian calendar year as if it's some kind of Eid or a turning point Or it'll bring some change in their lives. Pathetic. Audhubillah!
Are these the same people who can't even lift a finger to improve their deen or remember Allah سبحانه و تعالى?
Celebrating what exactly?
Another year closer to death
and accountability?
May Allah سبحانه و تعالى guide the Muslim Ummah away from such shameless acts of imitation and protect us from this filthy, worthless behavior.
If only people put half the effort into seeking Allah's pleasure instead of chasing after meaningless trends.

Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"When a person spends his entire day with no other concern but Allah alone, Allah, may He be glorified, will take care of all his needs and take care of all that is worrying him; He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him, free his tongue so that it will speak only in remembrance of Him (dhikr) and cause all his faculties to work only in obedience to Him. But if a person spends his entire day with no other concern but this world, Allah will make him bear its distress, anxiety and pain; He will leave him to sort himself out, and cause his heart to be distracted from the love of Allah towards the love of some created being, cause his tongue to speak only in remembering people instead of remembering Allah, and cause him to use his talents and energy in obeying and serving them. So he will strive hard, labouring like some work-animal, to serve something other than Allah… Everyone who turns away from being a true slave of Allah and obeying Him and loving Him will be burdened with servitude, love and obedience to some created being. Allah says (interpretationof the meaning):
'And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allah), We appoint for him a Shaytaan (devil) to be a qareen (intimate companion) to him.'
(Al-Zukhruf 43:36)

This is a sacred month in which Allāh has mentioned in the Qur'ān the importance of Rajab is also a golden opportunity of preparation for Ramadan (اللهم بلغنا) in which we plant the seeds of good deeds we want to carry over to ramadan and beyond it. fasting, praying, dhikr, seeking knowledge, giving charity; much more.

Giving Charity on Fridays
Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:
Giving charity on Friday has a special merit compared to other days,
just as giving charity during the month of Ramadan has a higher merit compared to the rest of the year.
I witnessed Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah)
when he would go out for Jumuaah,
he would take whatever he found at home—be it bread or anything else—and give it as charity in secret on his way.
I heard him say:
“If Allah commanded us to give charity before consulting with the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) (58:12),
then giving charity before consulting with Allah is even more virtuous and deserving of merit”
[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Zaad al-Maad, 1/399]
Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:
If the one giving charity
knew
that his charity landed in the Hand of Allah
before the hand of the poor person (48:10),
the pleasure of the giver would be greater than the pleasure of the receiver.

that his charity landed in the Hand of Allah
before the hand of the poor person (48:10),
the pleasure of the giver would be greater than the pleasure of the receiver.
[Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah), al-Madarij as-Salikeen, 1/26]

Beware Of Loans With Interest!
The Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:
«الربا اثنان وسبعون باباً، أدناها مثل إتيان الرجل أمه...»
❝Interest has seventy two doors [i.e. types] and the lowest of them is equivalent to a man having intercourse with his own mother...❞
[As-Saheehah of al-Albānī, (No. 1871)]
