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.

When you burden the heart with (deep thoughts over) worldly concerns and grief,
and are careless (negligent) when it comes to the devotion of Dhikr which is what (truly) gives the heart strength and life,
then you are like a traveller who overburdens his riding animal while depriving it of food.
Quickly will it collapse, unable to continue the journey.

When you complain, 'Why me?', remember the hardships of Ayyub peace be upon him, who endured 18 years of illness.
Prophet peace be upon him said:
إن نبي الله أيوب صلى الله عليه وسلم لبث به بلاؤه ثمان عشرة سنة فرفضه القريب والبعيد إلا رجلين من إخوانه كانا يغدوان إليه ويروحان..
"Verily, the Prophet of Allah, Ayyub peace be upon him, suffered from his illness for eighteen years, and he was rejected by his close and distant relatives, except for two men from his brothers who would visit him morning and evening. ( then the hadith states, even one of the brothers who used to visit him thought negatively that Ayyub aleh salam did a great sin due to that he is in affliction but in reality it was not like that)"
(Narrated by Abu Ya'la in his "Musnad" (176/1-177/1) and by Abu Nu'aym in his "Hilyah" (3/374-375)" Authenticated by Shaykh al Albani in al Saheeha no. 17)
P.s According to the latter part of the hadith, after 18 years, Ayyub peace be upon him, recovered and became strong and handsome, to the extent that even his own wife struggled to recognize him due to his transformed appearance.

The Five Levels Of Prayer,
By Ibnul-Qayyim
Ibnul-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah Rahimahullaah said:
And mankind, with regard to their performance of prayer are in five levels:
The First: The level of the one who is negligent and wrongs his soul: He is the one who falls short in performing wudhoo (ablution) properly, performing the prayer upon its time and within its specified limits, and in fulfilling its essential pillars.
The Second: The one who guards his prayers upon their proper times and within their specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and performs his wudhoo with care. However, his striving (in achieving the above) is wasted due whisperings in his prayer so he is taken away by thoughts and ideas.
The Third: The one who guards his prayers within the specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and strives with himself to repel the whisperings, thoughts and ideas. He is busy struggling against his enemy (Shaytaanor Satan) so that he does not steal from the prayer. On account of this he is engaged in (both) prayer and jihaad.
The Fourth: The one who stands for the prayer, completes and perfects its due rights, its essential pillars, performs it within its specified limits and his heart becomes engrossed in safeguarding its rights and specified limits, so that nothing is wasted from it. His whole concern is directed towards its establishment, its completion and its perfection, as it should be. His heart is immersed in the prayer and in enslavement to his Lord the Exalted.
The Fifth: The one who stands for the prayer like the one mentioned above. However, on top of this, he has taken and placed his heart in front of his Lord Azzawajall, looking towards Him with his heart with anticipation, (his heart) filled with His love and His might, as if he sees and witnesses Allaah. The whisperings, thoughts and ideas have vanished and the coverings which are between him and his Lord are raised. What is between this person and others with respect to the prayer, is superior and greater than what is between the heavens and the earth. This person is busy with his Lord Azzawajall, delighted with Him.
The First type will be punished, the second type will be held to account, the third will have his sins and shortcomings expiated, the fourth will be rewarded and the fifth will be close to his Lord, because he will receive the portion of the one who makes his prayer the delight and pleasure of his eye.
Whoever makes his prayer, the delight and pleasure of his eye, will have the nearness to his Lord Azzawajall made the delight and pleasure of his eye in the hereafter. He will also be made a pleasure to the eye in this world since whoever makes Allaah the pleasure of his eye in this world, every other eye will become delighted and pleased with him.

The Jew & Christian who hears of the final Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam).
The great companion Abu Hurairah (radiAllahuanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) said
"By The One in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is there is nobody of this ummah (nation) be they Jews or Christians who hears of me and then dies without believing in what I was sent with except that he will be among the people of the Hellfire [Sahih Muslim].
Every human being since the advent of the final Messenger Muhammad Ibn Abdulllah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) who had heard of him and failed to accept him is threatened with the Hellfire. This is a very serious matter.
As Muslims it is our duty and responsibility to convey this message to them in the best way possible. If you fail to do so they could possibly hold you responsible in front of Allah. If you have a neighbor, co-worker who is not Muslim it is incumbent you convey this message. Remember you duty is to convey and not convince.
