They come, they meet, they talk, they eat, they leave, then they declare the meeting to be successful without doing anything.

Only if the people recall the advice of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to Ibn `Abbaas:

❝O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allaah and Allaah will protect you. Be mindful of Allaah and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, then ask Allaah [alone]; and if you seek help, then seek help from Allaah [alone]. And know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allaah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allaah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.❞

*Narrated Abu Hurairah:*

"Whoever is asked about some knowledge that he knows, then he conceals it, he will be bridled with bridle of fire."

Sufyan al Thawri said:

An angel entered upon Yusuf in prison.

So Yusuf said to him: Oh Angel with a pleasant fragrance, how is Ya’qub? How is his sorrow?

The angel said: His sorrow reached that of 70 grieving mothers.

When it comes to buying a car everyone wants to do enough research to make sure they get the right one. No one says "let me get the same old one similar to my dads car!"

But when it comes to religion which is more important than a car, research becomes out of the question and questioning your dad's religion or belief system is seen as a big No!

Aisha reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him said,

“Two cycles of prayer before the dawn prayer (Fajr) are better than the world and everything in it. They are both more beloved to me than the entire world.”

Umar ibn Khattab رضي الله عنه said

"Do not speak about that which does not concern you, Know your enemy and be wary of your friend except for the trustworthy one. No one is trustworthy, except for the person who fears Allāh.

Do not walk with the evildoer, lest he teaches you some of his wickedness; and do not reveal your secrets to him, and When you consult others in your affairs, consult only those who fear Allāh."

[صفات الصفوة جلد رقم ١، صحفة ١٤٩]

Ibn Taimiyyah رحمه الله:

"Verily Mankind are of two types:
The seeker of the Din and the seeker of the Dūnya. So Shaytan orders the seeker of the Din with Shirk and Bid'ah and orders the seeker of the Dūnya with physical desires."

(Majmu' al-Fataawa 11/670)

Return back to the Qur'an.

‏﴿وقال الرسول يا رب إن قومي اتخذوا هذا القرآن مهجورا﴾ [الفرقان]
"And the Messenger said, 'O my Lord, indeed, my people have abandoned this Qur'an."
[Al-Furqan]


‏احذر أن تكون ممن اشتكى منه النبي ﷺ لربه
Beware of being among those whom the Prophet ﷺ complained about to his Lord."

Hadith on Siwak: Clean your mouth for the angels, the Quran

Ali reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, when the servant uses the toothstick and then stands to pray, an angel stands behind him and listens to his recitation. The angel draws near until his mouth coincides with his and nothing of the Quran comes out of it but that it enters the heart of the angel. Thus, purify your mouths for the Quran.”

📢 Al-Nawawi reported: Al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Do not feel lonely on the paths of guidance because their people are few, and do not be deceived by the great many who are ruined.”

Source: al-Adhkār lil-Nawawī 1/207

👣 The Path is a beautiful loneliness it is a Path of suffering and sacrifice Fisibilillah (For the Sake of Allah Ta'ala) in the Dunya (This World's Life) preparing for the Akhirah (The Hereafter) struggling to reach Jannah (Paradise) and bypass Jahannam (Hell) on the Sirat (Bridge)! The true Muslim in our time looks Strange even to other Muslims especially in Amerikkka where many Muslims prefer to follow the Christian culture of Shirkul Akbar (Greater Polytheism) in their pagan holiday's and celebrations but the Muslim of the Spiritual Jihad on the Path reject all that contradict Haqq (Truth)!

☝🏿Abu Nu’aym reported: Al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If you can get by without being known, do so. What is it against you if you are not praised? What is it against you that people blame you but to Allah you are praiseworthy?”

📌 Actions Speak Louder Than Words

❝I met people (the Ṣaḥābah), and what pleased them was not speech; rather, what pleased them was action.❞ — He also said: ❝Whoever wishes may say [whatever they want].❞

🗣 Al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad, the grandson of ʾAbū Bakr – raḍiyyAḷḷāhu ʿanhumā –.

📖 Kitāb az-Zuhd of ʾAbū Dāwūd #423.

The Salaf and Prophets used to complain about their problems only to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎

Yaqoob alaihis salaam, after having lost his son Yusuf alaihis salaam as well as losing Ben Yamin did not complain to people. He took his sorrow & grief to Allah saying:

"Verily, I ONLY complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah!” [Surah Yusuf:86]

Sahl bin Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam) said to 'Ali (May Allah be pleased with him),

"By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you than a whole lot of red camels."

[al-Bukhari and Muslim]

At times our hearts ache for something we deeply long for, something just beyond our reach. We plan, we strive, we pray, but sometimes the answer from our Rabb is different from what we had hoped for. In those moments, it is easy to feel lost, to question why things didn't go our way. But if we truly reflect, we will realize that every choice Allaah makes for us is wrapped in His infinte wisdom, mercy, and love for us.

The pain of unfulfilled wishes, the weight of unanswered prayers, or the silence when we seek immediate relief. These are heavy burdens but Allaah sees what we cannot, He knows the hidden harm in what we long for and the unseen blessings in what we resist.

Allaah says in Surah al Baqarah,
But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you, and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allaah knows, while you know not.
(2:216)

Perhaps that opportunity we desperately wanted would have taken us further from Him. Perhaps that hardship we tried to escape was meant to bring us closer to our true purpose. Every “no” from Allaah is in reality, a redirection to something far better either in this life or in the Hereafter.

So, even when we don't understand, we trust. Even when we don’t see the wisdom, we surrender. Even when our hearts break, we remind ourselves:

"Allaah is Al-Wadud, the Most Loving. Al-Hakeem, the Most Wise. Al-Raheem, the Most Merciful."

Ya Allaah, when our hearts waver, strengthen them with trust in You. When we don't understand, grant us patience and replace our worries with contentment, our pain with perseverance, and our losses with something far better. Make us among those who submit fully to Your wisdom and find true peace in Your decree.

It is reported that ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd – Allāh be pleased with him – said:

“Do not be hasty in praising people or blaming them, for perhaps what pleases you from a person today will displease you tomorrow, and perhaps what displeases you today, will please you tomorrow.

Indeed, people change.

It is Allāh who forgives the sins.

And Allāh is more merciful to his servant the day he meets him than a mother who lays out a bed for her child in an empty patch of land and feels [the ground]: if there is a risk of being stung, it will be her instead of him (her child), and if there is a risk of being pricked by a thorn, it will be her instead of him.”
