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)

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.

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.”*

Bitter Truth: Our love is rarely for the sake of Allah. What Islam teaches versus the harsh reality.
Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) (32 AH) said:
"Indeed, faith (iman) is that a person loves another person, not because of a close family relationship or wealth that he has given him, but solely for the sake of Allah."
(As-Sunnah by Abu Bakr ibn al-Khallal: 4/79)
Reality is different.
Al-Shawkaani رحمه الله said:
I spent some of my nights on bed turning over and remembering hadith of Prophet (ﷺ) "For those who love one another for the sake of Allaah, will be seated on the pulpits of light (on the Day of Resurrection), and they will be envied by the Prophets and martyrs".
So I used to turn over and over, how to understand this hadith.
How the love for the sake of Allaah, is envied by the Prophets and martyrs and on the seats of light.
I said the love is present among the people, most of which is not for the sake of Allaah,
A husband loves his wife, not for the sake of Allaah,
A wife loves her husband, not for the sake of Allaah,
Parents love their children, not for the sake of Allaah,
Children love their parents, not for the sake of Allaah,
And likewise:
You love the prince,
You love the businessman,
You love the Manager,
You love someone for his beauty, for his voice, for his money,...
I knew that the love for the sake of Allaah is rarer than red sulfur! "

What does "Allahul Musta'aan" mean. Please read.
Allah is Al-Musta’aan. This means that not only that Allah is the Helper (An-Naseer), but He is the only one whose help first and foremost should be sought. He is the One who knows, sees, hears and controls all affairs and therefore His help is PERFECT at ALL times.
We should say Allaahul Musta’aan.
Each prayer in Al Fatiha we say: You alone do we worship, and You alone do we turn for help [Quran, 1:5]
Do we really seek His help? Allaahul musta’aan is a beautiful statement we can find twice in the Quran.
In Surah Yuusuf, when Yaqoob alaihis salaams sons clearly described something that had not taken place to Yaqoob; no wolf ate Yuusuf, but what could Yaqoob do? All he could do was turn to Allah and he said: Allaahul musta’aanu ‘alaa ma tasifoon – And Allah is the one sought for help against that which you describe.[Quran, 12:18]
We can learn to use this dhikr when falsehood is presented as truth which causes you or others difficulty.
In Surah Al-‘Anbiyaa the Prophet (ﷺ) used this statement himself when disbelievers were disrespecting Allah: wa Rabbunar-Rahmaanul Musta’aan’alaa maa tasifoon– And our Lord is the Most Merciful, the One Whose help is sought against that which you describe [Quran, 21:112]
No matter what your situation is, seek Al-Musta’aan help FIRST and foremost.
Ibn Abbaas [رضي الله عنه] said: One day, I was riding behind the Prophet when he said: O boy! I will instruct you in some matters. Protect the commandments of Allah, He will preserve you. Safeguard His Rights, He will be ever with you. If you seek help, seek help from Allah alone; and if you need assistance, supplicate to Allah Alone for help. And remember that if all the people gather to benefit you, they will not be able to benefit you except that which Allah had foreordained (for you); and if all of them gather to do harm to you, they will not be able to afflict you with anything other than that which Allah had pre-destined against you. The pens had been lifted and the ink had dried up. [At-Tirmidhee]
Focus less on people, don’t fear the effect of anyone’s decisions and know that even if people seem to benefit you, the true source is Al-Musta’aan.
Even though you are permitted to seek help from others; it is crucial you FIRST call on Al-Musta’aan to provide help and rely on Him alone and not on others.
So next time you borrow money of a friend, or even ask a teacher to help you understanding a lesson, or you have lost your keys, or ur car won't start, first ask Allah to help and guide you. He WILL provide His help, in ways you cannot imagine sometimes by means of other people or even objects or animals (think of the birds who destroyed the army of Abraha described in Surah Al-Feel)!
So turn to Him & seek His help first in every situation.

Living by the Qur’ān: The Path to True Success
Imām Ibn al-Qayyim said:
"The people of the Qur'ān are those who read it and act upon it, even if they haven't memorised it." Zād al-Ma'ād [1/327]
“How can we live without understanding the words of our Rabb?
The eyes weep at its meaning, sleep fades in its depth, and hearts find strength through it.
True guidance is not just found in reciting the Qur’ān, but in living its meaning.”

We are living in the end times. Soon, death and destruction will shake the world. Tragedies will rise, poverty and sorrow will spread, and the illusion of comfort will fade. In these dark moments, only one path brings light, the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Holding onto them firmly is the remaining hope. Worldly pleasures will pass, but faith remains. True success is to live for God and die upon His path. We will return to him only a matter of time. This world is not our home. it's just the journey.

Benefit of the day: Leave your affairs in the hands of Allah, for He is the Best of planners. What is written for you will never pass you by, and what is not meant for you will never reach you. Trust His wisdom, even when you don't understand His timing. Every delay is a blessing, and every unanswered prayer is for your benefit. Let go of the worry that consumes your heart, for it cannot change His decree. Keep your faith strong, and know that His mercy is far greater than your desires. Surrender your plans to Him, and you will find peace beyond understanding. When you make dua, trust in His response, for He knows what's best for you.

3 Essentials for Happiness

He replied: “Let one of you acquire:
A thankful heart,
a tongue that remembers Allah,
and a believing wife who will aid him with regard to the Hereafter.”

Forwarded from Religion of Islam
"Falsehood will never be able to stand in the face of the truth! That is why any enemy of Islam is not afraid of anyone except those who hold on to the true authentic religion: The way of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions (the Salaf as-Saalih). For this reason we find that the enemies of Islam leave every caller of falsehood from those ascribing to Islam from the deviated sects (such as Sufis, Ikhwaani, Tableeghi and so forth), to do as they wish. On the other hand, if there is a person who follows the Sunnah of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, then they fear him, harass him and put pressure on him. This is because they fear of the truth that he carries. A person of truth brings awe to the hearts of the enemies of the religion. We should never belittle the truth that we carry; It is an absolute truth and it is aided by Allah." From the Article: http://religion-of-islam.com/al-haqq
