¹ The “night of Friday” mentioned by Imām Al-Shāfi’i refers to the night that starts at sunset on Thursday and ends at dawn on Friday. In the Islāmic calendar, the night comes before the day, so this night is considered part of Friday.

So act rightly, be sincere, and follow the righteous path and you will succeed.”

Giving Charity on Fridays

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

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 رحمه الله 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 Allāh commanded us to give charity before consulting with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (58:12), then giving charity before consulting with Allāh is even more virtuous and deserving of merit”

[Zaad al-Maad, 1/399]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

"If the one giving charity knew that his charity landed in the Hand of Allāh before the hand of the poor person (48:10), the pleasure of the giver would be greater than the pleasure of the receiver."

[al-Madarij as-Salikeen, 1/26]

The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

“Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim who asks Allāh for something but He will give it to him, so seek the last hour after ‘Asr.”

Translation: Authenic Quotes

Be kind, always. You never know the silent battles someone is fighting or the weight they're carrying. A careless word or thoughtless action can linger in someone's mind far longer than you'd imagine. Choose kindness because your words and actions matter-they have the power to lift someone up or push them down. Don't be the reason someone skips a meal, dreads waking up, or feels like they don't belong. Instead, be the reason they smile, feel seen, and believe in the goodness of people again. Kindness costs nothing but means everything. Make it your legacy. 🫀

Ibn Hibban رحمه الله said:

"If intellect were to have two parents, one would be patience and the other steadfastness"

[روضة العقلاء (٤٥)]

Kun-Faya-Kun‚ you will bloom again‚ you will heal. You will be smiling again with your whole heart!

Keep Sab'r -صبر because after all patience‚ there is something beautiful for you.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
"wa lasaufa yu'tika rabbuka fa tarda."

And your Lord(Allah) is going to give you, and you will be Satisfied.
(Qur'an - 93 : 5)

Is your loyalty towards Allaah or the people?

Muaawiyah رضي الله عنه wrote to the mother of the believers, Aaishah رضي الله عنها, asking her to write to him some advice but not making it lengthy. So, `Aaishah رضي الله عنها wrote:

“Assalaamu Alaik. To proceed… I heard the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying,

❝Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allaah while the people are displeased; then Allaah will protect him from the troubles caused by the people. And whosoever seeks the pleasure of the people while displeasing Allaah; then Allaah will leave his matter for the people (i.e. Allaah will not protect him from the harms of the people)❞

Wassalaamu Alaik.”

[Tirmidhi # 2414. Authenticated by Shaykh Al-Albaanee in as-Saheehah # 2311]

“The more you increase in knowledge about Allāh, the more you fear Allāh.

Ibn Al-Qayyim said:
من كان لله أعرف كان لله أخوف
“Whoever is more knowledgeable about Allāh will be more fearful of Him.”

The more you increase in knowledge about Allāh, the closer you get to Him and the farther you get from disobeying Him.

When you hear someone reviling Allāh, he does not know Allāh. Had he truly known Him, he would not revile Him.”

— Shaykh Abdul Hakeem Dahhās | 5th Lesson On Sharh Muqaddimah Ibn Abee Zayd al Qayrawani | 3rd Al-‘Allāmah ‘Ubayd Al-Jābirī Salafi Conference, Ilorin, Nigeria.

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!

Imām Mālik bin Anas رحمه الله said: "Whoever introduces an innovation into Islam thinking that it is good is implying that Muḥammad ﷺ betrayed his mission, because Allāh says:

"......This day, I have perfected your religion for you..." ● {5:3}

So, whatever was not part of the religion on that day, cannot be part of the religion today."

● [الاعتصام الامام الشاطبي ج ١، ص ٦٤-٦٥]

Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) described Allah’s Greatness, saying…

He governs the affairs of the various kingdoms and He commands and forbids, creates, sustains, gives death, gives life, gives power, strips power (to and from whom He wills) and alternates the night and day.

He gives varying fortunes to people and alternates governments (and states), destroying some and bringing some into existence.

His Command and Power are dominant in the heavens and their zones, the earth and all that which is on and in it, in the seas and in the air.

His Knowledge has encompassed everything and He counted everything. He hears all types of voices and they do not confuse Him. Rather, He hears each voice in its distinct language and need, and no voice will make Him busy from fulfilling the need of another, and no need will ever escape His Perfect Knowledge (and His Power to deliver).

He does not become bored because of the many needs of those who need. His Sight encompasses all that which there is. He sees the movement of a black ant on a barren rock during a dark night.

To Him, the Unseen is uncovered end the secret is secret no more,

“Whosoever is in the heavens and on Earth begs of Him (its needs from Him). Every day He has a matter to bring Forth (such as giving honour to some, disgrace to some, life to (some, death to some, etc.).” [Sūrah ar-Raḥmān, Verse 29]

He forgives an evil deed, makes depression vanish and brings reprieve from disasters, relief for whoever needs it, wealth for the poor, guidance for the misguided, light for the lost, help for he who is desperate, fullness for the hungry, cover for the barely clothed, cure for the ill and ease for he who suffers.

He accepts he who repents, gives reward for he who does good, gives aid for he who was dealt with injustice, destroys an arrogant person, covers mistakes, gives safety after fear end elevates some people and humiliates others.

If those who inhabit His heavens and His earth and all those whom He created, whether mankind or the Jinns, had hearts similar to the most pious heart, His Kingdom will not increase. If all His creation, whether mankind or the Jinns, had hearts similar to the heart of the most wicked heart, this will not decrease from His Kingdom. Also, if all those who inhabit His heavens and His earth, all mankind and all the Jinns, the dead and the living, stand up on one strip of land and each asks Him for his need, and He then fulfils their needs, this will not decrease from what He has a bit.

He is the First, nothing is before Him, the Last, nothing is after Him, the Most High, nothing is above Him, and the Most Near, nothing is nearer than Him. He, Exalted and Ever High as He is, is the Best Whom one can and should remember, the only One Who deserves to be worshiped and thanked, the Kindest of all those who own and the Most generous of all those who are asked to give.

He is the King Who has no partner, the One Who has no competitor, the Samad (Self-Sufficient) Who has no offspring, and the Ever High, none like unto Him. Everything perishes save His Face and every kingship is bound to perish except His.

He will only be obeyed by His Leave, and His Knowledge uncovers all disobedience to Him. When He is obeyed, He thanks for it, and when He is disobeyed, He grants forgiveness (for those who truly repent to Him). Every punishment from Him is just and every bounty is a grace. He is the Closest Witness and the Nearest One with His Perfect Care. He controls the forelocks of everything and has the full records of all deeds end the books of all ages. The hearts are unmasked to Him and the secret is unveiled. His giving and punishing is merely a Command, “Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, ‘Be, and it is!’” [Sūrah Yāʾ Sīn, Verse 82].

Quoted in “The Weakening of Faith - Its Symptoms – Causes & Cure”

Sufyan ath-Thawri رحمه الله:

"Take care of what is between you and Allāh, and He will take care of what is between you and the people."

[Hilyat al-Awliya 7/35]

Mālik ibn Dīnār رحمه الله:

“O people! When gold and silver are thrown to a dog, it does not recognize them. But if a bone is thrown to it, it pounces upon it.

Similarly, the foolish ones amongst you do not recognize the truth.”

[Ḥilyat al-Awliyā: 1/419]

A great piece of advice:

“…what you seek will be made easy for you…”

THE STARS HAVE NOT CONTROL OVER ANYTHING

Imaam Barbahaaree rahimahullaah said:

Look into the stars sparingly, just enough to help you to know the times of the prayer. And turn away from whatever besides that, since it invites to apostasy

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in the Fajr prayer at Hudaibiya after a rainy night. On completion of the prayer, he faced the people and said,

“Do you know what your Lord has said (revealed)?” The people replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “Allah has said,

‘In this morning some of my slaves remained as true believers and some became non-believers; whoever said that the rain was due to the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he disbelieves in the stars, and whoever said that it rained because of a particular star had no belief in Me but believes in that star.’ “

[Al-Bukhari] [Muhsin Khan’s Translation]

Qatadah (radi Allaahu anhu) said,

“These stars were only created for three purposes: Allah created them as adornment for the heaven (sky), as missiles for the devils and as signs for navigation. Therefore, whoever seeks to interpret any other meanings for them other than these, then verily he has spoken with his own opinion, he has lost his portion and burdened himself with that which he has no knowledge of.”

Ibn Jarir and Ibn Abi Hatim both recorded this statement.

🌠 Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Travelling Alone

Narrated Ibn `Umar (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If the people knew what I know about travelling alone, then nobody would travel alone at night."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 2998, Book 56, Hadith 207)

Always travel with company and remember to close the windows and draw the curtains once Maghrib time arrives.🌠

One of the verses in the Qur’ān that humbles and frightens me deeply is where Allāh says: “Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?”

(Sūrah Al-Baqarah, 2:44).

This verse is a reminder for anyone who calls others to good to first ensure they are acting upon what they preach. It is a warning against neglecting one’s own soul while guiding others.

There’s a saying, “Don’t just talk about it, be about it.” If you share reminders, advise others, or try to help people improve, make sure you are also working on yourself. Start with yourself, and never stop striving. One of Shaytan’s tricks is to make us complacent, whispering, “You already know this,” while keeping us from acting on that knowledge. But knowledge without action is not beneficial; it may become a burden, even a proof against us on the Day of Judgment. Na’ūdhubiLlāh!

This thought terrifies me. That’s why when people say, “May Allāh make this a hujjah for you, not against you,” it hits me so deeply. How frightening it is to imagine knowing the truth, recognizing its importance, and yet failing to embody it. What excuse would we have before Allāh for not acting upon what we knew?

I think of the Sahabah, who would not move on to another set of 10 verses of the Qur’ān until they had acted upon what they learned. They embodied the balance of learning and applying, living the Qur’ān in their actions. Compare this to our constant consumption of reminders today (quick lectures, videos, posts) without pause for reflection or action.

It has also become so easy to advise others, sharing tips and reminders without sincerely asking, “Am I doing these things myself?”

So this is a reminder, first and foremost to myself: don’t just speak about it; be about it. Preach, yes, but practice even more.

Let the knowledge you share transform your actions, your speech, and your manners. May Allāh protect us from being among those who neglect their own souls while reminding others, and may He grant us the sincerity to practice what we preach.
