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.

[Surah Nuh (v. 10-12).Source: Tafsir al-Qurtubi (v. 18, pp. 301-302)].

Anas bin Malik narrated that:
"An older man came to talk to the Prophet, and the people were hesitant to make room for him. The Prophet said: ;He is not one of us who does not have mercy on our young and does not respect our elders."

❣️ Ponder 💭💭💭

✨Beauty is not a guarantee to marriage...

✨Falling sick does not mean you are about to die.

✨Getting rich is not the definition of prosperity.

✨Building a nice house is not enjoying luxury.

✨Sleeping on an expensive bed does not bring you sound sleep.

✨Driving an expensive car is not a guarantee that you're going to arrive at your destination.

✨Wearing the best clothes does not mean you’re better than anyone.

✨Having a family doctor does not guarantee permanent health..

✨Being highly educated is not a sign of wisdom.

✨Marrying from a rich home does not guarantee a happy marriage.

✨My sisters and brothers in Islam. What we should All know is:

✨There is nothing as temporary as the life of this world and nothing so certain and permanent as death. Be kind always. Work towards Allah’s pleasure and you shall find ease in the grave if Allah wills.

✨May Almighty Allah Ta’ala grants us all true understanding.

✨May Almighty Allah Ta’ala unite us All in Jannah ❣️Aameen

Ar-Rahim (ٱلرَّحِيمُ) – The Especially Merciful

After Ar-Rahman, we meet Ar-Rahim, a name that speaks of Allah’s deep and special mercy for His believing servants. While Ar-Rahman’s mercy is vast and touches all creation, Ar-Rahim’s mercy is personal, continuous, and reserved especially for those who turn to Him in love and obedience.

It is the mercy that follows you in your struggles, forgives you in your shortcomings, and rewards you for even the smallest good. When you walk towards Him, He runs to you. That’s Ar-Rahim.

When you feel broken, remember: Ar-Rahim never abandons a heart that sincerely calls upon Him.

Whisper it today: Ya Ar-Rahim, surround me with Your mercy.

@@DEEN_OF_ALLAAH.

Keep saying “Astaghfirullah” with trust in your heart, knowing that Allah is taking care of everything for you.

Be patient, and in time, He’ll open the doors you’ve been waiting for, whether it’s marriage, a new job, children, or anything else you desire.Remember, Allah’s plan is always better than we can imagine.

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

"A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) with his son. The Prophet took the boy and kissed him. Al-Aqra‘ ibn Hābis said, 'I have ten children, and I have never kissed any of them.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'What can I do for you if Allah has removed mercy from your heart?'"

— [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim]

This hadith shows how deeply the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) valued showing love and affection to children, and how he corrected those who saw such affection as unnecessary. It’s a powerful reminder of the emotional bond and mercy that should exist between a father and his child.

Don't despair of Allaah's mercy

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty said: O son of Adam, if you call upon me and place your hope in me, I will forgive you without hesitation. O son of Adam, if you have sins piling up to the clouds and then ask for my forgiveness, I will forgive you without hesitation. O son of Adam, if you come to me with enough sins to fill the earth and then you meet me without associating anything with me (in worship), I will come to you with enough forgiveness to fill the earth.”

Some people work so hard and get nothing. Others work just as hard and get everything. Then there are those who don’t work at all and have it all, while some don’t work and remain with nothing.

Nothing is from us. The job, the money, the friends, the spouse, the house, the car, it’s all from Allah. And not because of our hard work. Recognise His blessings, be grateful, and help others while you can.

Because Allah gives to whoever He wills, and takes from whoever He wills.

And in the end, we’ll leave this life with nothing—naked, empty-handed, and poor, just as we came into it.

Shaykh Muḥammad Taqī al-Dīn al-Ḥilālī:

“These affairs happen in accordance with what Allah has ordain written for everyone. Like shopkeepers, one shop is frequented by many customers who generate sales, whereas the shop next door, despite stocking the same or even better goods, is inactive and receives no customers”

(al-Daʿwa Ilá Allah fī Aqṭār Mukhtalifa, Qahira: Maktabat Dār al-Kitāb wa as-Sunnah P.307)

Such is the dunya.

☝️☝️Praise be to Allah Rabbul Izzat ☝️☝️

☝️ And Peace and blessings be on his Prophet’s☝️

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله)

Here's some various topics like the heart, patience, dunya, and spiritual growth:

1. On the Heart & Its Purification:

"The heart becomes sick as the body becomes sick, and its cure is repentance and protection [from sins]. It becomes rusty as a mirror becomes rusty, and its polish is remembrance of Allah (dhikr). It becomes naked as the body becomes naked, and its clothing is taqwa (piety)."

(From: Al-Fawā’id)

2. On Patience & Trials:

"Patience is of three types: Patience in obedience to Allah, patience in avoiding disobedience to Allah, and patience with Allah’s decree. The most virtuous of them is patience in obedience."

(From: Madārij al-Sālikīn)


3. On Love of Allah:

"The more the heart loves Allah, the more it is purified, and the more it is purified, the more it loves Him—entering a cycle of increasing love and purity."

(From: Rawḍat al-Muḥibbīn)

4. On Dunya (Worldly Life):

"The dunya is like a shadow—if you chase it, it will run away, but if you turn away from it, it will follow you."

(From: Al-Fawā’id)

5. On Knowledge & Action:

"Knowledge without action is like a tree without fruit."

(From: Miftāh Dār al-Saʿādah)

6. On Repentance (Tawbah):

"The sinner who repents is like one who never sinned."

(From: Al-Wābil al-Ṣayyib)


7. On Hope & Fear:

"The heart in its journey to Allah is like a bird—love is its head, and hope and fear are its two wings. If the head is healthy, the wings will fly perfectly."

(From: Madārij al-Sālikīn)

إستغفار کی طاقت

Power of Istighfar

The Power of Istighfaar : What effect does it have on your life?

One of the righteous people said,

"Do not overthink rather do a lot of istighfaar, for Allah taala opens doors with istighfaar that are not opened by overthinking."

Al-Awzā’ī رحمه الله said:

I said to a man:

“I want a house near a people who do not backbite, nor do they envy, nor do they hate (anyone).”

So the man took me to the graveyard and said to me:

“This is where you find them!”

[Jāmi’ Al-Ulūm 2/182]

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “The sweetness of Dunyā is the bitterness of Ākhirah and the bitterness of Dunyā is the sweetness of Ākhirah.”
