Peo­ple Change & Allah For­gives

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.

Al-Bayhaqī, Shuʿab Al-Īmān article 6177, and others.

Prayer Attracts Provision

Shaykh ul-Islam Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawzeeyah [رحمه الله] said:

‏«الصلاة مجلبة للرزق حافظة للصحة، دافعة للأذى مطردة للأدواء، مقوية للقلب مبيضة للوجه، مفرحة للنفس مذهبة للكسل.»

❝Prayer attracts provisions, preserves health, it defends against harm, repels diseases. It strengths the heart and illuminates the face. It gives delight to the soul and removes laziness.❞

[Zaad Al-Maad, (4/304)]

* The unit of measure varies depending on the value of what is being measured *


Metal is weighed in tons

Fruit is weighed in Kilos

Gold is weighed in grams

Diamond is weighed in carats

As for your deeds in the Hereafter .. they shall be weighed in atoms!

Allah said,

 فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ (7) وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ (8)

"So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it." (Al-Qur'an)

Why will our deeds be measured so precisely?!

Because there isn't anything more valuable than Paradise.

"Truly, the gift of Allah is precious. The gift of Allah is Paradise." (Prophet Mohammad PBUH)

May Allah SWT grant us access to its gardens and inspire our hearts to do/give up what is required for its entry. Aameen

In times of turmoil, muslims (especially those upon Tawheed & Sunnah) must never get disheartened or forget the glad tidings:

Buraydah Al Aslami narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ عِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةُ صَفٍّ ثَمَانُونَ مِنْهَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ وَأَرْبَعُونَ مِنْ سَائِرِ الأُمَمِ

"The people of Paradise are 120 rows, 80 of them are from this ummah and 40 are from the rest of the nations."

Reported by Ahmad/Tirmidhi, classed saheeh by Al Albani

So cheer up even in agony, get charged, be proud of this only true beautiful religion and take up the challenge to be able to live it up. May Allah grant us honor while we live, whilst we die and ofcourse till eternity.

Why Do the Wicked Prosper While the Innocent Suffer? 🤔

Many people question, “Why do those who lie, cheat, and oppress others seem to enjoy life with no harm reaching them, while those with pure hearts who never wronged anyone suffer from sihr, jinn possession, evil eye, financial struggles, and illnesses?” It feels unfair, but Allah’s wisdom is beyond what we see in this world.

1️⃣ This World is a Test, Not a Reward

This life is not Jannah, where only ease exists. Allah created it as a place of trials, to test who remains patient and firm in faith. The Prophet ﷺ said:
"This world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever." (Sahih Muslim)

Those who are soft-hearted and righteous are tested more because Allah loves them. He purifies them through trials, raising their ranks, and removing their sins. Look at the prophets every one of them suffered immensely, yet they were the most beloved to Allah!

2️⃣ The Success of the Wrongdoers is a Deception

Just because someone is enjoying wealth, health, and power does not mean Allah is pleased with them. In fact, this could be a trap! Allah sometimes gives wrongdoers everything in this world so they become blind to the truth, and their punishment in the hereafter becomes severe.

💡 “And do not let those who disbelieve think that We extend their time [for good]. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin; and for them is a humiliating punishment.”
(Qur’an 3:178)

A person who sins but faces no hardships should fear that Allah is leaving them without guidance. Their ease is not a blessing it is istidraaj (gradual punishment), where Allah lets them continue in their wrongdoing until He seizes them suddenly.

3️⃣ Your Suffering is an Elevation, Not a Punishment

If you are struggling despite being a good person, know that Allah is not punishing you. He is making you stronger, erasing your sins, and preparing something greater for you either in this life or in the hereafter.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
"The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people, He tests them." (Tirmidhi)

Every pain, every tear, every sleepless night is adding to your rewards and purifying your soul. The struggles of this world are temporary, but the rewards in the hereafter are eternal.

4️⃣ The Real Justice Will Be in the Hereafter

In this world, we may not see justice immediately, but no injustice will go unpunished. The oppressors who seem to be enjoying today will be held accountable before Allah. On the Day of Judgment, every wrong they committed will come back to them.

💡 "And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]."
(Qur’an 14:42)

On that day, those who suffered patiently will see their rewards beyond imagination, and those who oppressed will beg for mercy—but it will be too late.

🌟 Final Words – Keep Your Faith Strong!

If you are struggling despite being a good person, do not despair. Allah is with you, and your patience is being written down. This world is temporary, and your pain will not last forever. Keep making dua, keep holding onto your faith, and know that your relief is near.

💛 “Indeed, with hardship comes ease.” (Qur’an 94:6) 💛

Hold on. Allah sees everything, and He never lets a believer’s struggle go to waste. 💪

The acts of worship most in need of patience are three: prayer, fasting and jihād. Fasting was referred to as patience here:

{ اسْتَعِينُواْ بِالصَّبْرِ }
“Seek help through patience.” [Al-Baqarah 2:153]

And regarding prayer:

{ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا }
“And be patient therein.” [Ṭā-Hā 20:132]

And regarding jihād:

{ اصْبِرُواْ وَصَابِرُواْ وَرَابِطُواْ }
“Persevere, endure and guard your territory.” [Āl ʿImrān 3:200]

أحوج العبادات للصبر ثلاث صلاة وصوم وجهاد، سُمّي الصوم صبرا (استعينوا بالصبر) وفي الصلاة (واصطبر عليها) وفي الجهاد (اصبروا وصابروا ورابطوا(

The most pleasant part of this worldly life is knowing and loving Allāh, and the most pleasant part of the Paradise in the Hereafter is seeing Allāh and being a witness to that blessing. Loving and knowing Allāh is the delight of the eyes, the enjoyment of the soul, the joy of the heart and the ultimate blessing and bliss of this worldly life. In fact, the temporary pleasures of this life which disconnect a person from that great pleasure will become a source of pain and torment for them, and that individual will remain in an impoverished life as the pleasant life can only be with and by Allah.

[Source: The Disease and The Cure Pg.503 By Ibn al-Qayyim rh]

Hafs b. Maysarah:

❝Rectify what is left of your life and Allāh will forgive you for your past.❞

[Tārīkh Dimishq, (14/444)]

The more the servant loves his Master, the less will he love other objects and they will decrease in number. The less the servant loves his Master, the more he love other object and they will increase in number.
- Ibn Taymiyyah / Majmu'Fatawa (1/94)

‎Five minutes before iftar we feel hungry, five minutes after iftar we feel full.

‎That's the proof that this dunya is just about desire... and how quickly your desires change..

‎وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ

And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.

(Surah Aal e Imran:185)

REFORM AND UP-TO-DATE WITH YOUR ACTIONS

▪️Shaykh Abdelrahman Ibn Nassir As-Sa'di - May Allah have mercy on him - said:

"Don't be sad about the things that escape you that Allah has not destined for u, such as losing health, money, job or others, ur concern should be the fact of" reforming & catching up with your actions daily "because the person depends on his day. U should not be sad about the past, or worry about the future, in case these worries are unnecessary.

Show sincerity, dignity & truthfulness in all relationships,& perform all your duties with sincere faith & a peaceful soul.

Take care of your affairs& shortcomings, leaving the affairs & shortcomings of people. He treats everyone according to their situation, big or small, man or woman, boss or subject (subordinate).

Be gentle & kind to everyone, even animals, indeed Allah only shows mercy to his merciful servants. Be simple in all your affairs & open your mind to all (beneficial) religious or worldly teachings.”

Read the headlines of today's news and then read this beautiful reminder by Shaykhul Islam

"...Even if the heart were to succeed in experiencing all the worldly joys possible it would still not achieve tranquillity and serenity because of its intrinsic need for its Lord and given the fact that He is its [true] deity, love and pursuit..."

-Ibn Taymiyya, may Allah have mercy upon him, _Majmʿu al-Fatawa_, 10/193-194

50 virtuous deeds

All narrations have been declared ‘authentic’ by Shaykh al-Albani.

1) Whoever reads Surah Ikhlas ten times, Allah will build a palace for him in Paradise. ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) exclaimed, “If that’s the case, then we will increase in our palaces!” The Prophet ﷺ (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) responded, “Allah is better and greater (in reward).” [Ahmad]

2) Whoever reads Surat al-Kahf on Friday, it will act as a light/protection for him from one Friday to the next. [Bayhaqi]

3) Whoever memorizes the first ten verses from Suratul Kahf, he will be protected from the trial of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ). [Ahmad]

4) Whoever reads Ayatul Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing will keep him from Paradise except death. [Nasaa’i]

5) When you go to your beds at night, read Surat al-Kafirun then sleep upon completing it, for it will be a protection from Shirk (associating partners with Allah). [Ahmad]

6) Whoever performs their ablution carefully and then affirms (their faith by testifying): “Ash-hadu an laa ilaha il Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lahu wa anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu; Allahumma-ja’lni min at-tawaabeen waj-a’lni min al-mutatahireen”: ‘I testify that there is no true deity except Allah Alone, Who has no partners, and that Muhammad ﷺ is His slave and Messenger; O Allah, make me from those who repent and purify themselves’ – the eight gates of Jannah are opened for him so he may enter through whichever of these gates he desires.[Tirmidhi]

7) Whoever makes ablution then says upon finishing: “Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika;, Ashhadu an laa ilaha ila anta, Astaghfiruka wa atoobu ilayk”: ‘Glory be to You O Allah and all praise belongs to You; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You. I seek Your Forgiveness, and I turn to You,’ - it is written in a parchment, then sealed; and is not opened till the Day of Resurrection. [Nasaa’i]

8) While we were praying one day with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man from among the people said, “Allahu Akbaru Kabeera, walhamdulillahi Katheera, wa Subhan’Allahi bukratan wa aseela”, ‘Allah is the Greatest above everything else, and All Praise is for Allah abundantly, and Glory be to Allah in the morning and evening.’ The Prophet ﷺ asked, “who said those words?” A man replied, “I did, O Messeger of Allah.” The Prophet ﷺ then said, ‘I am amazed by your speech, for they caused the doors of heaven to open.’ Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) added to this narration, “I never left saying those words after I heard the Messenger of Allah say that. [Muslim]

9) One day we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when he ﷺ raised his head from the position of ruku(bowing position), he said: “Sami Allahu leman hamidah” – ‘Allah hears the one who praises Him’. A man from behind added:“Rabbanna wa la kal hamd – hamdan katheeran tayyiban mubarakan fih” – ‘Our Lord, all praise is due only to You, praise which is abundant, excellent and blessed.’ When we finished [the prayer] the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Who spoke?’ The man said, ‘I did’. He ﷺ said, ‘Indeed I saw some 30 angels all scuffling to see which one of them could record it.’ [Muslim]

10) Whoever prays twelve units of prayer voluntarily in a day and night, Allah will build him a house in Paradise. [Muslim]

11) Whoever observes four rakaat (units) before dhuhr (midday) prayer, and four rakaat after prayer, the fire will not touch him. [Abu Dawud]

12) May Allah have mercy on a person who prays four rakaat before ‘Asr (afternoon) prayer.[Abu Dawud]

13) Whoever stands in night prayer and recites ten verses (from the Qur’an) will not be written as a heedless person. And whoever recites 100 verses will be written as a devout slave. And whoever recites 1000 verses will be written as one who has mountains of good deeds. [Abu Dawud]

14) The voluntary prayer of a man where no one can see him is 25 times greater than voluntary prayer in front of the people. [Abu Ya’la]

15) Whoever prays four rakaat of Duha (mid-morning) prayer, and then another four (for a total of eight rakaat), a house is built for him in Paradise. [Tabarani]

16) Verily, Allah and His angels pray for the ones who fill in (or complete) the rows [in prayer], and whoever fills in a gap, Allah will raise his status because of it and will build a house for him in Paradise. [Ahmad]

17) Whenever a servant prostrates to Allah, Allah writes a reward for him, wipes out one of his sins and elevates his rank by one degree; so prostrate as much as you can. [ibn Majah]

18) Whoever prays fajr (morning prayer) in congregation then sits remembering Allah until the sun rises, then prays two units of prayer has the reward like that of Hajj and Umrah. [Tirmidhi]

19) “Whoever prays to Allah for forty days in congregation, not missing the first takbeer (of prayer), he will be recorded as being free from two things: free from the Fire and free from hypocrisy. [Tirmidhi]

20) The best of prayers with Allah is the fajr (morning) prayer, prayed in congregation on Friday. [Abu Nu’aym] (There is a difference of opinion among the scholars if this narration is a hadith or a statement of ibn Umar – Allah knows best)

21) Whoever says, “Subhan’Allah al-Adheem wa biHamdihi” – ‘Glory be to Allah the Most Great and for Him is all praise’, will have a date-palm tree planted for him in Paradise. [Tirmidhi]

22) Whoever says “Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ash-hadu an laa ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaika” - ‘(O Allah, You are free from every imperfection; praise be to You. I testify that there is no true god except You; I ask Your Pardon and turn to You in repentance)’ in a gathering of remembrance, it will be like a seal to stamp it (the remembrance) with, and he who says it in a gathering of vain talk, it will be an expiation for it (the vain talk). [Nasaa’i]

23) Indeed, (saying) “SubhanAllah” – ‘Glory be to Allah (and He is high above any imperfection)’ and “Alhamdulillah” – ‘All praise and thanks is only for Allah alone’, and “Laa ilaha ilAllah” – ‘There is no deity worthy of worship except ’llah’, and “Allahu Akbar” – ‘Allah is Greater than everything’, cause a slave’s sins to fall away just as the leaves of a tree fall. [Ahmad]

24) Would any of you like to accumulate 1000 rewards every day? Say “SubhanAllah“, ‘Glory be to Allah and He is high above any imperfection’ 100 times and Allah will record for you 1000 rewards or He will remove 1000 mis-deeds. [Muslim]

25) Verily, Allah has chosen four words from all speech: “SubhanAllah” (Glory be to Allah and He is high above any imperfection), and “Alhamdulillah” (All praise and thanks are for Allah alone), and “Laa ilaha ilAllah” (There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah), and “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the Greater than everything). Therefore whoever says SubhanAllahtwenty deeds will be recorded for him and twenty sins will be removed from him. And whoever says Allahu Akbar will get the same. And whoever says Laa ilaha ilAllah will get the same. And whoever says “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil `Alamin” – ‘All praise and thanks is for Allah alone, the Lord of all things’, from his heart, thirty good deeds will be recorded for him and thirty sins will be dropped from him. [Nasaa’i]

26. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, “The Prophet ﷺ (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by me once while I was planting some crops. He said, ‘O Abu Hurayrah! What are you planting?’ I answered, ‘some crops.’ The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘Shall I inform you of crops which are far better than all this? Saying: “SubhanAllah” – ‘Glory be to Allah (and He is high above any imperfection)’ and “Alhamdulillah” – ‘All praise and thanks is for Allah alone’, and “Laa ilaha ilAllah” – ‘There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah’, and “Allahu Akbar” – ‘Allah is Greater than everything’. With every one of these [words], a tree will be planted for you in paradise’.” [Sunan ibn Majah]

27. Whoever is stingy about spending his wealth, and fears to fight the enemy, and is in terror of enduring the night should repeat frequently “SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi” – ‘Glory be to Allah the Most Great and for Him is all praise’. By Him in whose Hand is my soul, they (those words) are more beloved to Allah than two mountains of gold and silver. [Abu Nu’aym]

28. Whoever enters a market and says: “Laa ilaaha illAllah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer” – ‘There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs dominion and praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living and does not die. In His Hand is all the good, and He is over all things competent’; Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and raise him a million levels and build for him a house in Paradise. [Tirmidhi]

29. Shall I guide you to something greater than remembering Allah (all) night and day? Say: “Alhamdulillahi adada maa khalaq, Alhamdulillahi mila maa khalaq, Alhamdulillahi adada maa fee-s-samawati wa maa filardhi, Alhamdulillahi’adada maa ahsaa kitabahu, wa Alhamdulillahi alaa maa ahsaa kitaabahu, wa Alhamdulillahi adada kuli shayy, wa Alhamdulillah mil`a kuli shayy” – ‘Praise be to Allah by the multitude of what He created; Praise be to Allah by the abundance of what He created; Praise be to Allah by the multitude of what is in the heavens and the earth; Praise be to Allah by the multitude of what His book enumerates; And Praise be to Allah for what His book enumerates; And Praise be to Allah as abundantly as everything.’ Then Glorify Allah similarly (by): learn these (phrases) and teach them to those who will follow after you. [At-Tabarani]

30. Whoever sends blessings on me (the Prophet ﷺ) 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the evening will have my intercession (Shafa’ah) on the Day of Judgment. [At-Tabarani]

31. Whoever says: “Radheetu billahi Rabba, wa bil Islaami Deena, wa bi Muhammad Nabiyya” – ‘I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, and with Islam as my Religion, and with Muhammad as my Prophet,’ Paradise would be (made) mandatory for him. [Abu Dawud]

32. Whoever supplicates for his brother (in Islam) in his absence, an angel is appointed to his side who says “Ameen (so be it) and may you also be blessed with the same.” [Muslim]

33. Whoever defends the honor of his brother in his absence will be ennoscriptd to Allah’s Protection from the Fire. [Tirmidhi]

34. Whoever removes a harmful thing from the path of the Muslims, Allah shall write for him a virtue whose reward is Paradise. [At-Tabarani]

35. Whoever extends the time to his debtor [to return the loan] , or forgives the debt, will be in the shade of the Throne (of Allah) on the Day of Resurrection. [Muslim]

36. Whoever gives respite to a poor person or writes off his debt, Allah will put him under His shade on a day on which there will be no shade except His (Judgment Day). [Muslim]

37. Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times (Allahumma inni as’aluk al-Jannah), then Paradise will say: “O Allah! Enter him into Paradise!” And whoever seeks protection with Allah from the Fire three times (Allahumma najjini min an-Nar), the Fire will say: “O Allah! Protect him from the Fire!” [Tirmidhi]

38. Whoever is easy-going, gentle and kind, Allah will make the fire forbidden for him. [Hakim]

39. Whoever abstains from asking others for some financial help, Allah will give him (help) and save him from asking others; Allah will make him self-sufficient.” [Bukhari]

40. Whoever builds a Masjid for the sake of Allah even if it is like a nest which a bird builds for its eggs, Allah will build for him/her a house in Paradise. [Tirmidhi]

41. In Paradise there are rooms whose outside can be seen from the inside and the inside can be seen from the outside. Allah has prepared them for those who feed the poor, who are gentle in speech, who fast regularly and who pray at night when (other) people are asleep. [Ahmad]

42. If a Muslim plants a tree, or sows a field and men and beasts and birds eat from it, all of it is charity from him. [Muslim]

43. Whoever visited a sick person or visits his brother in Islam, a caller calls from the skies: “You have done well and your walk was good also, and you have earned a place in paradise”. [Tirmidhi]

44. If a man visits his sick Muslim brother, it is as if he walks reaping the fruits of Paradise until he sits, and when he sits he is showered in mercy, and if this was in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray for him until the evening, and if this was in the evening, seventy thousand angels pray for him until the morning. [Tirmidhi]

45. Whoever says, “Astaghfirullah al-lathi laa ilaha illa huwa, al-Hayyul Qayyum wa atubu ilayh” – ‘I ask forgiveness from Allah the One whom there is no deity worthy of worship except He, the Ever-Living and Sustainer and I repent to Him’ three times, Allah would forgive his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. [Abu Dawud]

46. Shall I teach you some words that if you were to say them, Allah would forgive you? “Laa ilaha ilAllahul Aliyyul ‘Adheem, laa ilaha ilAllahul Hakimul Kareem, la ilaha ilAllahu SubhanAllahi Rabbis-Samawaati as-Sabi’ wa Rabbil ‘Arshil ‘Adheem. Alhamdulillahil Rabbil alameen” – ‘There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, The Most High, The Great. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, The Most Wise, The Most Generous. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, Glory be to Allah (and He is high above any imperfection), The Lord of the Seven Heavens and the Lord of the Great Throne. All praise and thanks is for Allah Alone, Lord of all that exists.’ [Ahmad]

47. From the acts that guarantee forgiveness is being generous with the spreading of salaam [i.e., frequently greeting] and good speech. [at-Tabarani]

48. Glad tidings for the one who finds in his book (i.e. his book of deeds) lots of seeking forgiveness (repentance). [ibn Majah]

49. He who has taken food and says at the end, ”Alhamdulillah’illadhi at`amani hadha, wa razzaqanihi min ghairi hawlin minni wa la quwwatin” – ‘All praise and thanks is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavor on my part or any power,’ all his past sins will be forgiven.’ [Ahmad]

50. Whoever seeks forgiveness for believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman. [At-Tabarani]

SHARE and Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadqa-e-Jaaria for you and for me… in-sha’-Allah.

Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,
❝Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action.❞ [Muslim]

Hasan al-Basri رحمه الله:

"I went to a cloth merchant in Madinah to buy a thoub.

He started praising his products and making (false) oaths.

And so I left him and said to myself: "I shouldn't buy from such a person." And I bought it from someone else.

Two years later I made Hajj and went to that merchant, but this time I did not hear him praising his products or making oaths.

I said to him: "Aren't you the man to whom I came to two years ago?"

He said: "Yes."

I said: "And what made you leave doing what I saw you doing back then? Now I don't see you praising your products or making oaths!"

He said: "I had a wife, and whenever I came to her with less, she would look down on me and whenever I came to her with much, she considered it to be little. Then Allāh looked at me (meaning: He had mercy on me) and she passed away and I married again.

Whenever I wanted to go to the market (to earn my livelihood), she used to grab me by the collar of my garment and say: "O So-and-so! Fear Allāh and do not feed us except with the pure (halal earnings). If you come to us with less, we will add to it. And if we receive nothing, we will support you in our home (by making handicrafts and selling them, wa Allāhu a'lam)"

[al-Mujalasah wal Jawahir al-'Ilm, Ahmad Ibn Marwan Ibn Muhammad al-Daynuri]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎“The Prophet ﷺ was the most generous of people, and he was at his most generous in Ramadan, when he would give a great deal of charity, do good deeds, read Qur'ān, remember Allāh (dhikr) and observe i'tikaf.⁣⁣”

‎[Zaad al-Ma'aad | 2/32]

Do you suffer from constant Wasasah ?

Waswasah is not really a whisper. It isn't usually a voice and nor is it gender specific, its not even a sound. Waswasah is more like a thought except its based on your thought pattern and emotional responses. Shaytan gives you thoughts, accompanied by feelings of excitement, desires, lust, despair, sadness, loneliness etc thus in a subtle way he slowly edges you towards sin or worse disbelief in this amazing Deen.

Shaytan wants you to indulge sin so you'll be too ashamed to have high and lofty goals. They all share the same goal as their father Iblis to destroy the mankind and take them all to Hellfire.

A practicing person might get some very sickening thoughts and feel so ashamed of themselves. But you have to remember these thoughts are the thoughts of shaytan. Not your thoughts. It is the shaytan that will be accountable not you. As long as you don't act on them.

I know you must miss that innocent self that you once were. But even now you are pure, a good Muslim. If you feel low and dirty it is because the sins have covered you. The shayeteen is filthy. When you strive you will feel pure again.

This is a reflection of the nature of shaytan. They hate Adam and his off springs. But it is not the ultimate aim and goal of shaytan.

"Iblis said: "By Your Honor, then I will surely mislead them all,
Except Your chosen slaves among them (true believers)."
[Surah Saad 38:82-83]
The battle between jinn-kind and mankind began between Iblis and Adam (alayhis salam) and is continuing right now. But shaytan admits that he does not stand a chance against the true believers and I want to set you upon this path.

This is a battle that we cannot afford to be passive or defensive but we need to take an offensive approach, very much as the shayateen (devils) have taken with us. Suicidal thoughts, sexual thoughts, reminding a person of their past are all weapons of the shaytan to overwhelm them with negativity to prevent a person from becoming close to Allah, from praying salah and ultimately giving up hope in the mercy of Allah (azza wa jall)
You need to have a positive approach to this. To create a positive mentality you need to begin by ignoring any negative thoughts that shaytan gives you by knowing on these two ayah and believing in them firmly-
“Say: O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
[Surah al-Zumar 36:53]
And also
"And those who strive in Our (cause),- We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right"
[Ankabooth 29:69]
Practical solution
This will be an up hill climb up to recovery, like climbing the side of a hill. You might feel weak right now and want to give up be remember this is a plot of shaytan. As long as you don't give up, shaytan is doomed to fail insha Allah.

I will show you how to overcome the waswasah, by the Help of Allah you will be able to stop these waswasah completely but you have to be willing to trust me.

1) Every time the shaytan reminds you of your past- remind shaytan of his future i.e. Hell fire.
If you shed even one drop of tear out of fear of Allah because of your past mistakes then indeed Allah Loves the one who repents to Him and will reward you with Paradise insha Allah. As for the shaytan he will most likely never repent so he can try his best to overcome the slaves of Allah and enjoy this short world life but in the end he will have an eternal destruction.

2) You need to make a commitment right now that from today this moment you won't commit another sin. Because sin is what give shaytan such a strong grip on you when in reality shaytan is weak. When we sin we come weaker than even shaytan.

You're probably thinking its not possible to give up sin but I'm telling you it is. I'm going to give you a weapon that will prevent the shaytan from giving you waswasah and without waswasah you will stand at least 95% chance of avoiding sin. And with sins out the window, you'll be able to wake for fajr with ease, you'll feel more motivated to do good deeds!

So make a commitment right now that you will resist using the below technique.

3) Every time shaytan gives you any kind of thought, wheather it's to commit a sin or leave a good deed then punish the shaytan by saying "astaghfirullah" (Oh Allah forgive me) at least ten times, meaning it sincerely

Trust me shaytan will come at you and throw his most at you for approx. 20 min constantly give you waswasah to do sin, contact xyz woman etc but if you resist for just 20 min you will- for the first time ever be at a stage where you are strong than shaytan and he will fail. This is a tried and tested method.

By making this in to a regular habit, and keep doing this, after 2 or 3 days the shaytan will realize that his plan to weaken you is only helping you do more good deeds and will give up giving you waswasah altogether. Shaytan hates it so much when a Muslim repents to Allah, you are not accountable for these thoughts as they are not from you, rather you will be rewarded for not listening to them and making istighfar.

What's the proof for this?
"From the evil of the whisperer (devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men) who withdraws (from his whispering in one's heart after one remembers Allah)
[Surah an Naas 114]
The tafseer of this verse tells us that the shayateen flee from the person when he makes dhikr of Allah.

The heart of men is like a fortress. Shaytan will come and tempt you to lower the draw bridge and let him in. He knows your weakness and will tempt you with those things. But you need to resist.

If you give in, you've lowered the door bridge and you've let him in. You have failed.

When you keep remembering Allah- say astaghfirullah 10 times for ever thought, every time he gives you a sinful thought straight away don't contemplate on the thought. Feel disgusted by it. Ask Allah to forgive you as though its a sin you committed. 20 minutes on the first occasion you start this method then after that with in three days they waswasah will have disappeared.

But remember to thank Allah (azza wa jall) and praise Him constantly. If you remember Allah when you're walking, driving, waiting, everyday mundane task the shaytan will keep away from you.

In the heart that is full of Allah's remembrance there is no room for the sinful waswasah of shaytan!!

4) I encourage you to adopt the morning and evening protection duas as they will have an immensely positive effect on your condition. Most practising people have left these adkhaar and because of that they are really suffering. They are so easy and simple as are most protective duas.

e.g.

لا إلَهَ إلأَ اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

"La illaha ilAllahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul Mulku, wa lahul Hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in Qadeer"

(There is no deity but Allah alone. He has no Partner. Sovereignty and Grace are His and He is the Omnipotent)

100 times after fajr and maghrib salah (or ten times mentioned in another hadith)

[al Bukhari 4:95, Muslim 4:2071]

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Whoever says “Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer” one hundred times in the day, will have a reward equivalent to that of freeing ten slaves, one hundred hasanahs (good deeds) will be recorded for him, and one hundred sayi’ahs (bad deeds) will be erased from his record, and it will be protection for him from the Shaytaan for that day, until evening comes. No one could achieve any better than him except the one who does more than he did.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 31119; Muslim, 2691)

Assalāmu ’alaykum warahmatullāhi wa barakātuhu everyone,

Dear brothers and sisters

Today is the 1st Jumu‘ah of Ramadan.

Please dont forget to seize the Last Hour of ‘Asr for Duā.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"There is an hour on Friday in which no Muslim asks Allah for good but He gives it to him."
(Sahih Muslim 852)

Make Duā for yourself, your family, and especially for those who are distressed, oppressed, and suffering across the world.

May Allāh ﷻ grant them relief, ease, and victory, آمین.

And remember, Allāh ‎ﷻ gets angry if you don’t make Duā.
