If you want to beat jealous people in your life

✔️ build boundaries
✔️ level up to a higher energy orbit...

Be surrounded by a majority of better, higher-quality people.

Don't fake your glow with dress-up, makeover, empty attitude or ego.

That's not confidence. That's a trauma response. It is the sign of an unhealthy and unhappy individual.

Instead of adopting a revenge mindset, build real happiness. Heal. Grow.

The Ultimate Goal!

The RasoolAllah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said

تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ لِأَرْبَعٍ : لِمَالِهَا ، وَلِحَسَبِهَا ، وَجَمَالِهَا ، وَلِدِينِهَا ، فَاظْفَرْ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ

A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman, may your hands be rubbed with dust.

[Sahih Bukhari 5090, Sahih Muslim 1466]

Shaikh Abdul Azeemabadi رحمہ اللہ said:

والمعنى : أن اللائق بذي الدين والمروءة أن يكون الدين مطمحَ نظره في كل شيء ، لا سيما فيما تطول صحبته ، فأمره النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بتحصيل صاحبة الدِّين الذي هو غاية البغية. تربت يداك يقال : ترب الرجل ، أي : افتقر ،
كأنه قال : " تلصق بالتراب " ، ولا يُراد به ها هنا الدعاء ‘ بل الحث على الجد ، والتشمير في طلب المأمور به

What this means is that a man who is religiously committed should make religion his focus in all things, especially with regard to long-term matters. So the RasoolAllah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم enjoined finding a wife who is religiously committed, which is the ultimate goal.

“May your hands be rubbed with dust” is urging him to strive hard and roll up his sleeves and seek that which is enjoined.

[Awn al Ma'bood 6/31]

The best 10 days of the year are coming. Let us prepare In Shaa Allah 🌸

Misplaced priorities:

“Getting famous helps in the cause of spreading the Dawah”

This is the mindset of many who are involved in the field of “Dawah”.

What they are forgetting is…

🚫 1) …that Allaah is Rich and free of all wants while we are poor and in need of His help. And if we divert from our responsibilities and become disobedient, Allaah will easily replace us with someone who will not be like us. [Surah Muhammad]

🚫 2) …that on the Day of Judgment, there will be Prophets who will have many followers, some Prophets will have a few followers, some will have one or two followers, and some will have no followers. [Saheehain]

📑 Note:
➡ Islaam is not in need of us for it to grow, rather, we are in need Islaam to be successful.

➡ Having a small number of followers does not mean that one is a failure. Similarly, having a large number of followers does not mean success.

My rizq Is written so I will not do anything.

Ibn Hajr al asqalani said:

وقد سئل أحمد عن رجل جلس في بيته أو في المسجد وقال لا أعمل شيئا حتى يأتيني رزقي فقال هذا رجل جهل العلم فقد قال النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إن الله جعل رزقي تحت ظل رمحي وقال لو توكلتم على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا فذكر أنها تغدو وتروح في طلب الرزق قال وكان الصحابة يتجرون ويعملون في نخيلهم والقدوة بهم . انتهى
Ahmad was asked about a man who sat in his house or in the mosque and said, "I will not do anything until my sustenance comes to me." Ahmad replied, "This man is ignorant of the knowledge, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Allah has made my sustenance under the shade of my spear.' He also said, 'If you trust in Allah with true trust, He will provide for you as He provides for the birds, which go out in the morning hungry and return in the evening full.'"

Ahmad added, "The Companions of the Prophet would trade and work in their palm groves, and they were the example to follow." (Fath al bari)

*Don’t Make Money Your First Priority*
In every matter, don’t make money your primary concern. The first priority should be the environment you work in—the place and the people who value your efforts, appreciate your contributions, and treat you with respect. This comes before the salary.
If a workplace honors sincerity, effort, and good character more than just offering a high paycheck, then bi'idhnillāh (بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ) — your provision will come, with barakah (بَرَكَة) and sufficiency.

*Seek to work in places where there is barakah,* not where it is lost. *Choose environments that help you stay close to your Creator,* not ones that distract you from Him. That should always come first.

*Today, many young people chase money* while neglecting ‘ilm (العِلم) and real experience. But ‘ilm, sincerity, and good character must come first.

*True education is not defined by holding a degree* —It is reflected in maturity, sound intellect (‘aql - العَقل), and beneficial skills.

None of us is free from mistakes, but we can always strive to improve through righteous actions and sincerity in all we do.

May Allāh help us live lives that please Him and bring lasting benefit in this world and the next.
Āmīn.

(Sahih no. 1932)

The corporate world is heartless. Corporate hospitals are part of this heartless world. Everything, including empathy, has a price in a corporate hospital. A poor man cannot get justice against the rich and merciless corporate slaughterhouses. A poor man should not fight for justice, which he cannot afford. A poor man should only weep and pray in seclusion. Allah is enough for a poor man.
Hasbanullah!

Refraining From Forbidding Evil

Iblīs has convinced some worshipers not to forbid evil on the basis that only righteous people ought to do so. They say: I am not worthy because I am not righteous enough, so how could I impose on others?

This is wrong, for he should forbid others from committing sins including sins that he, himself, is committing. However, it is better if he stops committing this sin and then forbids others. His admonishment would be more effective this way.

[Book: *The Devil’s Deceptions by al Hāfiz Abū’l-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله* | p. 254-255 | Translation: Haitham Hamdan | Published by: Dār as-Sunnah Publishers]

“You might see someone with limited income buying a car for 80,000 or more, even though a 20,000 car would meet their needs. This often reflects a lack of understanding in religious priorities and weak trust in Allah. Try to avoid buying things on installment plans. But if you’re truly in need, keep your borrowing to the bare minimum necessary—it’s better to live simple than to be burdened by debt.”

— Ibn ʿUthaymīn [Sharḥ Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn (2/527)]

‎This religion will reach everywhere in the world: The Prophet ﷺ said,

‎“No house of brick, nor fur, will remain upon the face of the earth but that Allāh will cause the message of Islam to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored and the disgraceful will be disgraced.”

‼️THE CAUSE OF DECREASE IN SUSTENANCE‼️

Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"Every time a people apply oppression and wickedness then their Lord, the Blessed, and Most High, brings about for them from the predicaments and disorders in their sustenance and their fruits and in their climates and their waters and in their bodies and their physical constitutions and in their forms and appearances as well as in their manners from certain deficiencies and predicaments of a nature that their own actions and their oppressions and their wicked ways should necessitate.

For indeed the grains of wheat and other than them used to be bigger than what they are today. Just as the blessing within them too used to be greater, Imām Ahmad reports with his chain of narration: that there were found in the storehouses of some of the Umayyads bales of wheat the like of date-stones and written on them was:

_'These were cultivated in the days of justice.'_

He mentioned this incident in his Musnad after a hadeeth which he reported."

📖 Zād al-Ma'ād (4/363)

SAVE THIS TO RECITE DURING THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF ZIL HIJJAH ESPECIALLY ON THE DAY OF ARAFAH.

The Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) said:

"The best of dua is dua on the day of Arafah and best of what I and the Prophets before me have said is;

•●• Dua in Arabic:

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ‏

•●• Transliteration:

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay in qadeer

•●• Translation:

(There is none worthy of worship in truth but Allah alone, without any partners. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He has power over everything).

•●• The Hadith.

Abdullah ibn Amr (radiAllahuanhu) reported: The Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) said,

"The best supplication is that which is made on the day of Arafah. The best of it is what was said by myself and the Prophets before me, ‘There is none worthy of worship in truth but Allah alone, without any partners, unto Him belongs the dominion and all praise, and He has power over all things.’” [Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3585. Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani]

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ وَخَيْرُ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Whoever wants the aid of Allāh:

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah would search a lot to find people to help them with their needs. This was because he knew that everytime he helped someone then Allāh would aid him.”
