The story of Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام teaches us a profound lesson in destiny (Qadr).
Betrayed by his brothers, sold as a slave, and unjustly imprisoned—each trial was a stepping stone in his journey to becoming Egypt’s treasurer.
Imagine if his life had taken a different course, without these hardships.
Would he have been positioned to save Egypt from famine and reunite his family?
Every trial, while painful, was crafted by Allāh سبحانه و تعالى for a greater purpose only He could see.
Next time you face a setback, remember that you may be exactly where you need to be for a future that’s yet unseen.
Towards the end of his life, Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام reflected, “He was truly kind to me when He freed me from prison, and brought you all from the desert after Satan had ignited rivalry between me and my siblings. Indeed my Lord is subtle in fulfilling what He wills. Surely He ˹alone˺ is the All-Knowing, All-Wise.” (Qur’an 12:100).
Key takeaways from this verse:
1 - Instead of blaming his siblings for what happened, he attributed their mistake to being an influence from Satan.
2 - He understood that Allāh works in ways that we can never understand and that He fulfils our wishes in subtle ways.
After everything he’d been through, Yusuf عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ was grateful to his Lord!

🏁 Compete—but not for the dunya. Compete for Jannah.
Al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī رحمه الله gave us a timeless reminder:
> “If you see a man competing for the worldly life, then compete with him for the Afterlife.”
📚 Kitāb al-Zuhd, Ibn Abī al-Dunyā, p. 329
Today, people are racing...
Racing to build wealth.
Racing to upgrade cars, clothes, phones.
Racing to be seen, to be followed, to be admired.
But where are those who are racing to pray Fajr in the masjid?
Where are those competing to memorize more Qur'an?
Where are those striving to give more in charity?
To fast extra days, to forgive others, to seek knowledge?
This dunya—it ends.
Your house, your job, your bank balance—none of it enters the grave with you.
But your ṣalāh, your sabr, your sincerity, your sadaqah—they do.
🕊️ So don’t be fooled.
Let the people race for this world…
You? Race for the Hereafter.
As Allah said:
> “And for this (i.e., Jannah) let the competitors compete.”
📖 Surah al-Muṭaffifīn (83:26)
🤲 O Allah, make us from those who compete in what pleases You—and not what pleases the people.

💠 Let not your smartphones distract you when you are in the company of someone:
👉 Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما narrated: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ took a ring and put it on, then he ﷺ said: ❝This distracted me from you all day, shifting my gaze from it to you (and back again).❞ Then he threw it away.
This is from the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ regarding the ethics of sitting in a gathering that a person should not be preoccupied with something that distracts him from the gathering or his guests for a long time. It is not Haraam, but this is not proper etiquette. Then what about when he is with his parents or either one of them? And what about the things that distract us from the remembrance of Allaah and His worship?
📚 FOOTNOTES:
[1] Sunan al-Nasaa’ee (5289) and Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “It is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” as per the condition of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim”, see al-Ṣaḥeeḥah (1192). Shaikh Muqbil also graded it as “Ṣaḥeeḥ” in Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Musnad

Ibn ‘Abbas reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying:
If anyone asks you refuge for Allah’s sake give him refuge; and if anyone asks you (for something) for Allah’s sake, give him. Sahl and Sulaiman said: if anyone calls you, respond to him. The Agreed version goes; if you do not afford to compensate him, pray Allah for him until you know that you have compensated him.

Dont miss these moments of Dua Acceptance
Did you know there are special moments in your prayer when your duas are more likely to be accepted?
The Prophet said: "When any one of you finishes the final Tashahhud, let him make dua for whatever he wishes." (Sahih Muslim 588)
Another powerful time to make dua is in صلى الله sujood. The Prophet said: "The closest a servant comes to his Lord is when he is in prostration, so increase in supplication." (Sahih Muslim 482)
Umm Sulaim once asked the Prophet to teach her something to say in prayer. He told her: "Say Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) ten times, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) ten times, and Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) ten times. Then ask whatever you wish, for Allah will say: 'Yes, Yes." (Jami at-Tirmidhi 481).
So whether you're in sujood or before ending your prayer, take advantage of these moments to pour your heart out to Allah. Your dua is heard, and Allah is ready to respond!

Don’t Believe One-Sided Stories ‼️
“O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.” {Qur’an 49:6}
Islam teaches us to verify news, avoid assumptions, and uphold justice. One-sided stories often hide the full truth. Don’t rush to judge — listen, reflect, and be fair.

Only Allāh’s Decree is in Effect
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “If the whole of creation, in its entirety, was to try and effectuate some benefit for you through something that Allāh has not decreed, they would not be able to do so; and if they wished to harm you through something that Allāh has not prescribed, they would not be able to do so.”
What is meant is that every harm or benefit that the servant encounters in this world is already decreed for him, it is impossible for him to face anything that has not been decreed for him even if the whole of creation strove their utmost in bringing it about.
