Three Types of Sleep
It is reported that ʿAbdullāh b. Al-ʿAmr bin Al-ʿĀṣ may ALLAH be pleased with them said:
There are three types of sleep: the incompetent’s sleep, proper sleep, and stupid sleep. As for the incompetent’s sleep, it is to sleep in the morning after sunrise (ḍuḥā time), when people are going about their needs (work), he is sleeping. As for the proper sleep, it is the midday nap (qaylūlah). And as for the stupid sleep, it is to sleep when it is time to pray.

Surah Ad-Dahr (الدهر) is another name for Surah Al-Insan (Surah 76) in the Quran. It is called "Ad-Dahr," meaning "The Time" or "The Age," because the surah begins with the verse:
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَٰنِ حِينٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًۭٔا مَّذْكُورًۭا
"Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?" (76:1)
This surah describes the creation of humans, the test of life, and the rewards of the righteous in Jannah. It also highlights the virtues of sincerity, charity, and patience.
It is authentically reported that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) used to recite Surah As-Sajdah (32) in the first rak’ah and Surah Al-Insan (Ad-Dahr) (76) in the second rak’ah during the Fajr prayer on Fridays (Jumu’ah Fajr).
This is based on the hadith narrated by Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه):
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ﴿الم تَنْزِيلُ﴾ السَّجْدَةَ، وَ﴿هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ﴾
"The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite in the Fajr prayer on Friday: Alif-Lam-Mim Tanzeel (Surah As-Sajdah) and Hal Ata ‘alal Insan (Surah Al-Insan).
(Sahih al-Bukhari 891, Sahih Muslim 880)
This practice is Sunnah and is done to remind the believers of the creation of Adam, the Day of Judgment, and the rewards of Jannah—key concepts covered in these two surahs."

Reward Equivalent To A Year Of Fasting And Praying
From Aws Bin Aws Ath-Thaqafi who said I heard the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] saying:
❝Whoever performs a perfect Ghusl on Friday then goes very early to the Khutbah, walking and not riding, sits close to the Imam, listens and does not speak or keep himself busy then for every step towards the Khutbah is the reward equivalent to a year of fasting and praying.❞

How Many Recite The Book Of Allaah
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:
❝So many people recite the Book of Allaah Ta’ala. However, they recite it in wording and correctly recite its letters but they do not recite its meaning. They do not establish its Shari’a.
If you reflected upon the condition of the Islamic world today, you would find that most of the Islamic world are upon correctly reciting the letters, rather than establishing the meaning and the Shari’a.❞

Allah didn’t extinguish the fire for Ibrahim.
He made it cool.
Allah didn’t directly heal Ayyub.
He guided him to the water.
Allah didn’t place dates in Maryam’s hands.
He instructed her to shake the tree.
Allah doesn’t always take away our hardships, but He provides a path through them.
So when we seek relief, don’t be surprised if it comes with challenges to overcome.🫀✨

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“Strive to distance yourself from anything that brings worry, sorrow, or distress so that you may always remain at ease, with a content and open heart, focused on Allah, His worship, and your worldly and spiritual affairs. If you practice this, you will find relief. However, if you burden yourself with regret over the past or excessive concern for the future in a way not sanctioned by Islamic teachings, know that you will exhaust yourself and miss out on much goodness.”
