The Flavor of the Heart
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (rahimahullah):
“If you would like to draw a conclusion of what is contained in someone’s Heart then use as a proof the movements of his Tongue! For surely, he will show you what is contained in his heart regardless of whether he wants to or not.”
Yahya ibn Mu'adh:
The hearts are like pots. They boil with that which they contain and their tongues are their ladles [i.e. scooping spoons].
So look at a man when he speaks. His tongue will scoop out for you that which is contained in his heart, whether it is Sweet or Bitter, Fresh or Salty and other than that. And the flavor of his heart will become clear to you from that which his tongue scoops out.
This means that just as you can taste the flavor of foods being cooked with your tongue and you realize the true flavor of them, Similarly you can taste what is in a man’s heart by way of his Tongue,( in the same manner that you can taste what is in the pot with your tongue).
Al-Jawaab A-Kaafee/ad-Daa wad-Dawaa, (pg. 242-249)
Transcribed from The Appendix of An Explanation of the Hadeeth: “Say, ‘I believe in Allah’, and then be upright and steadfast” by Ibn Rajab.

One of the saddest sights after Ramadan—seen in almost every masjid…
The masjid that was once overflowing with worshippers now stands nearly empty, with barely the first row complete.
It’s as if guests have departed, & the family members remain behind.…
Let’s not be seasonal worshippers—stay connected to the house of Allah!

Your Scales, Your Account, Your Reward.
The Prophet (Salallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said,
"On the Day of Judgement the scales will be placed and the people of prayer will be brought forward and they will be compensated according to the scales; then the people of fasting will be brought forward and they will be compensated according to the scales; then the people of hajj will be brought forward and they will be compensated according to the scales; and then the people afflicted with hardships and calamites [in the dunya ] will be brought forward and the scales will not be used for them nor will their records be brought out, and they will given their reward without any account, so much so that the people who used to be free of worries and calamities would wish that they were in their position, such is the immensity of their reward from Allah the Exalted."

Insignificance of this🌏 world🌍
A thing to contemplate on: The word ❝Earth❞ ( الأرض ) and ❝World❞ ( الدنيا ) are mentioned numerous times in the Qur’aan; but never once has Allaah تعالى praised them.
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
❝This world is cursed and so are all the things in it, except the remembrance of Allaah and that, which He (Allaah) likes, and the scholars and the students.❞
Tirmidhee (2322), Ibn Maajah (4112) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah (2797)

Major.. major...problem with the ummah today:
Worrying more about the 'duniya' for ourselves and..
Worrying more about the 'aakhirah' of other muslims!
Oh.. fulān is a hypocrite, oh 'allān is a kaafir... Oh... Oh..

Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: The Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, you will either enjoin good and forbid evil, or Allah will certainly soon send His punishment to you. Then you will make supplication and it will not be accepted". [At-Tirmidhi]

*Keep in mind, the Quran was spoken not written - so how do you map this out in oration? And this surah in particular came in response to a question, and was not a “premeditated” production. Incredible.
*2.5 Yusuf is sold as property into Egypt — 10.5 Yusuf becomes the treasurer over the properties of Egypt.

▪️We believe in earning a degree, earning money, spending our time and energy looking for the best material things in this world - - -
- - - But why don't we believe in EARNING the love of Allah SWT?
We run marathons for this world but won't bother walking an extra mile just to please Allah SWT, then how can we claim we Love Him?

From Anas b. Mālik رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ *passed by a tree with dry leaves, so he struck it with his staff making the leaves fall then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Indeed (saying) Alḥamdulillaah and SubḥaanAllaah and Laa Ilaaha Illallaah and Allaahu Akbar remove from the sins of the slave just like the leaves fall from this tree.”*
