May Allah Ta'ala strength us in mental courage and spiritual fortitude to first change the evil within ourselves then the evil that is upon the earth, Allahummah Aameen.

💠 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?

[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

❝𝗧𝗵𝗲 connection between the things we want - 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲, 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 and 𝗱𝘂’𝗮.

If a person wants to make a decision about a matter, research the matter properly, it's after that, that you 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲 it. It's after you've properly looked at a thing that you 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲 it, you see the benefit you want to gain in it.

Now, before you venture into it, make 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮. When you have made a decision, that is when you make 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮. If this thing is good for me make it easy for me, it's not take it away from me.
After that you make 𝗱𝘂’𝗮 to get it.

Let me give a clearcut example for explanation.

You want to choose a course to study between say Mechanical engineering and Electrical engineering, after research, you found that the best is to study electrical engineering, *you 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲 it.* Then *you make 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮*. After 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 *you make 𝗱𝘂’𝗮* that 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐇 make the course easy for you.

If you get the electrical engineering that's the best for you. If you don't do that one, you'll find hardship in another. If you then get hardship in one you made 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 for, then the hardship is of good (to test you).

Do not make 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 when you are confused, it's after you make findings about the matter and decide, Then you make 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 that, if that matter is good for you, 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐇 should grant you and make it easy, if it is not, He should take it from you. You can only do that when you've made a decision on something.

If 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐇 gives you and you find harship in it, be patient, other things would have been harder.

The Companions do 𝗜𝘀’𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 a lot, the Prophet ﷺ taughtورعاه.❞

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.

عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جو شخص تم سے اللہ کے واسطے سے پناہ طلب کرے تو اسے پناہ دو، اور جو شخص تم سے اللہ کے نام پر سوال کرے تو اسے دو، جو تمہیں مدعو کرے تو اس کی دعوت قبول کرو، جو شخص تم پر احسان کرے تو تم اس کے احسان کا بدلہ چکاؤ، اور اگر بدلہ چکانے کی کوئی چیز نہ پا سکو تو اس کے لیے اتنی دعا کرو جس سے تم یہ سمجھو کہ تم نے اس کا بدلہ چکا دیا ۔

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَسَهْلُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، - الْمَعْنَى - عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنِ اسْتَعَاذَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعِيذُوهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ سَهْلٌ وَعُثْمَانُ ‏"‏ وَمَنْ دَعَاكُمْ فَأَجِيبُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقُوا ‏"‏ وَمَنْ آتَى إِلَيْكُمْ مَعْرُوفًا فَكَافِئُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ وَعُثْمَانُ ‏"‏ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ لَهُ حَتَّى تَعْلَمُوا أَنْ قَدْ كَافَأْتُمُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

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!

Islam is Allah’s religion.

إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُ

”Indeed, the religion with Allah is Islam.”

It existed before us, and it will continue to exist after us.

So change your life to conform to it, but do not attempt to distort it to suit your lifestyle.

Imām Al-Zuhri said: “From Allah is the Message, it is upon the Messenger to convey it, and it is upon us to submit to it.”

❝If you don't have the ability to compete with the pious in righteous deeds,

compete with sinners in seeking Allah's forgiveness.❞

~ Ibn Rajab رحمه الله

𝘐𝘣𝘯 𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘢𝘸𝘻𝘪 رحمه الله 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥:

You are the most precious creature to Allāh, so be content with what Allāh has decreed for you, because he who loves never questions or accuses the one he loves.

The Grace of Allāh upon you in all that He created for your sake is as clear as daylight, so how could you imagine that He would neglect when you are at the roof of it all?

[𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘥𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘱𝘨. 186]

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.

Normalize reciting your morning and evening adhkar. People arent jealous of material things anymore. They're jealous of your Aura, your personality, the way people love and support you. Your natural leadership abilities. Things money can't buy.

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen and said, "Be afraid, from the curse of the oppressed as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah." Sahih al-Bukhari 2448

Knowledge Is Not Taken From Four

Imām Malik [رحمه الله] said:

❝Knowledge is not taken from four:

1. A foolish person who outwardly manifests foolishness even if he is the most abundant of the people in narrating,

2. A person of innovation who calls to his desires,

3. He who lies when he speaks to the people even if you don't deem him [to be a liar] in Hadith,

4. A pious and virtuous worshipper who is not precise in what he narrates.❞

[Siyār A'lām An-Nubalā, (7/162)]

Help Your Brother

Narrated Anas (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) narrated:

Allah's Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

"Help your brother,

whether he is an oppressor

or he is an oppressed one.

People asked, "O Allah's Messenger!

It is all right to help him if he is oppressed,

but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?!”

The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

"By preventing him from oppressing others."

[Sahih al-Bukhari, 2444]

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.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

_"Which life is better than the life of a person whose worries have all united and become one concern directed towards attaining the pleasure of Allāh, gathered the scattered feelings of his heart through the devotion to Allāh, whose intentions and thoughts were once divided- each scattered in a different valley- are now focused on Allāh._

_So the remembrance of the Most Beloved, the love to Him and the longing to meet Him and the comfort in being near to him becomes overwhelming for him. His concern, intentions and objectives and the feelings of his heart revolve around all this.”_

[The Disease & The Cure | Pg. 329]

What A Person Should Do If He Has Been Afflicted With Qadr Which He Dislikes

Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah [D.751 A.H.] [رحمه الله] said:

❝If a disliked Qadr crosses a person, then he has six considerations:

The first- consideration is of Tawheed, and that Allaah is the One who destined it for him, willed it for him, created him. Whatever Allaah wants occurs and whatever Allaah does not want does not occur.

The second- consideration is of justice, and that it will occur with Allaah’s command. It is just in fulfilling Allaah’s justice.

The third- consideration is of mercy, and that Allaah’s mercy in what has been destined is generally from Allaah’s Anger and recompense, His mercy is present but hidden and not apparent.

The fourth- the consideration of wisdom, that the Allaah’s Wisdom -Subhanahu- necessitated this destiny. Allaah did not destine this in vain or command it for no reason.

The fifth- consideration is of Praise, that all complete praise is for Allaah -Subhanahu- for this destined Qadr from whichever way you look at it.

The sixth- the consideration of servitude of worship, and that a person is purely a slave of Allaah from every point of view. The regulations of his Master apply to him and are carried out due to him being his master’s possession and His slave. So Allaah disposes him under His destined rulings just as Allaah disposes him under rulings of the Deen, therefore, the slave of Allaah has to conform and proceed with these rulings.❞

[al-Fawaid, (Page: 93-94)]

Bishr ibn al-Hārith [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“He who loves fame has not feared Allāh. Do not act in order to be mentioned, and hide your good deeds like you hide your bad ones.”

Siyar ‘A’lām an-Nubalā’a, 8/492 | Al-Imām adh-Dhahabi [may Allāh have mercy on him]

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗢𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Abū’l-Dardā’ said, ‘Allāh loves that a [servant] be content with a matter when He ordains it.’

Ummu’l-Dardā’ said, ‘Those who are truly content with the ordainment of Allāh are people who are content, no matter what is ordained. On the Day of Rising they will have such stations in Paradise as would make the martyrs envious.’

JUST ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.

A man complained to Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullah d. 110 AH) about a drought.

So he said to him: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

Another man complained to him of poverty.

So he said to him: Pray to Allaah to forgive you.

Another man said to him: Pray to Allaah to bless me with a child.

He said: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

Another complained to him that his garden was dry.

He said to him: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

We asked him about that and he said: This is not my personal opinion.

For Allaah says:

فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا [٧١:١٠]

"I [Prophet Nooh (alaihumus salam) said (to them): 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving. (Al Qurʾān 71:10)

He’ll send rain to you in abundance.

And give you increase in wealth and children,
and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.
