Everything has already written for you while you are still in your Mother's womb.. Qadar of Allāh..
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said,
"Allāh puts an angel in charge of the uterus and the angel says, 'O Lord, (it is) semen! O Lord, (it is now ) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allāh wishes to complete its creation, the angel asks, 'O Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an evil doer) or a blessed (doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? What will his age be?' So all that is written while the creature is still in the mother's womb."

The Prophet ﷺ warned us: “There will come a time when people won’t care where their wealth comes from — whether it’s Halal or Haram.”
And I can’t help but feel… that time is now.
We live in a world where anything that brings fast cash is glorified. People joke about scams. Business deals are praised even if they're shady. Music, riba, unethical marketing, lies — all swept under the rug if the paycheck is big enough.
But where is the barakah?
Where is the peace?
True success isn’t in how much we earn — it’s in how we earn it. Because no amount of money is worth trading your akhirah for.

Why depression is increasing among the youth!
The modern youth is glued to social media.. Scrolling endlessly, watching people who have more than them. And it's rotting their brains. Just because someone else has something doesn't mean you deserve it too. You're not special. You're not ennoscriptd to anything. You were put on this earth to struggle, to strive, and to worship Allah alone not to chase illusions or comfort like it's owed to you. You're not meant to be the same as everyone else. You're not meant to have what everyone else has. Be grateful for what you have, and look at those who have less than you. Humble yourself.

Forwarded from Abu Zuhd As-Sohawi
The parable of the believer is that of a flower — something which starts off as small and insignificant, but through time and correct nurture, becomes fragrant, colourful, delightful to the eyes.
Just like the flower, the believer goes through phases and cycles. As the seasons change, the flower begins to shrivel; over time, it decays — its beauty fades, its scent vanishes, and it loses its identity.
Such is the exemplar of the believer: you find him fluctuating in faith — between sin and righteousness, highs and lows. Perhaps hitting rock bottom.
“Verily, the faith of one of you will wear out within him, just as a shirt becomes worn out. So ask Allah to renew faith in your hearts.”
Renew your faith, O servants of Allah.
Do you not see the flower — reliant upon sunlight and water?
Can it survive without them? Can it flourish and grow? It cannot.
Then what about you, if you deprive yourself of the speech of Allah, the guidance of His Messenger?

THREE STRANGE PARADOXES:💎
1⃣ Nuh عليه السلام called out to the animals once, and they boarded the ark, while he spent 950 years calling out to humans, but they chose to drown.
- A healthy instinct (fitrah) is better than a sick mind (aql).
2⃣ Firaun’s wife was established on deen while she was in the house of the greatest tyrant, and Noah’s عليه السلام wife relapsed in the house of the greatest preacher!
- There is no excuse of circumstances to be righteous or corrupt. You choose your way
3⃣ Ibrahim عليه السلام asked for his son to be slaughtered, and he complied, and Noah عليه السلام asked for his son for life, but he refused!!
- Some are righteous to the extent of astonishment, and some are impious to the extent of wonder!

MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL ARE FIVE
Al-Azdi reported: Ibrahim al-Khawwas, (rahimahullah), said, “The cure of the heart is in five things:
● Reading the Quran with contemplation,
● Emptying the stomach,
● Standing for prayer at night,
● Humbly supplicating at dawn, and
● Sitting with the righteous.”
[Source: Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’ 15767].

In this world, (when done in the right manner), man finds in the remembrance of Allah (through recitation, dhikr, du’a, contemplation and) in praising Him and worshiping Him (through salah, seeking knowledge, studying knowledge)
a delight that is incomparable to anything else.

🔖Many people are smart but not intelligent
Explained by Shaykh Uthaymeen رحمه الله تعالى
If someone were to ask, is (اللُّبُّ) the same as smarts (الذكاء), or is it
something different? No. Intelligence (اللُّبُّ) is the intellect (العقل), and intelligence is
not the same as smart(الذكاء).
A person from the disbelievers may be extremely smart yet extremely foolish. For this reason, Allah described the disbelievers as;
﴿ وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِی یَنۡعِقُ بِمَا لَا یَسۡمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَاۤءࣰ وَنِدَاۤءࣰۚ صُمُّۢ بُكۡمٌ عُمۡیࣱ فَهُمۡ لَا یَعۡقِلُونَ﴿١٧١﴾
[Al-Baqarah: 171]
The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears
nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:171)
So, no matter how advanced or smart the policies of disbelieving nations may appear to us, we must never say they are people of sound intellect. Be careful, how can Allah
say they do not use their intellect, then you say they are intellectuals.
Rather, we say they are smart. Smarts do not necessitate intelligence. Intellect (العقل).
is sound judgment and good decision-making. This is why it is called ‘aql, because it restrains its possessor from harm. As for smarts (الذكاء) it is sharp perception and understanding, which may be praiseworthy or not.

HONESTY IN BARGAINING IS A CAUSE FOR BLESSING
Hakim Ibn Hizam (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated that ALLĀH'S Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"The seller and the buyer have the right to keep or return goods as long as they have not parted or till they part; and if both the parties spoke the truth and described the defects and qualities (of the goods), then they would be blessed in their transaction, and if they told lies or hid something, then the blessings of their transaction would be lost."
📚 Al-Bukhārī #2079; Muslim #1532
LESSONS AND BENEFITS:
● The option to annul the contract while still in the place of transaction (known as "option of session") is established for both the seller and the buyer.
● This option remains valid from the time of the contract until they physically separate.
● Once they separate from the session of the contract, the sale becomes binding.
● The importance of truthfulness in buying and selling.
● That worldly success is only complete through righteous deeds, and that the evil consequences of sins can remove both worldly and afterlife blessings.
● The virtue of honesty, the encouragement to be truthful, and that it is a cause of barakah in a person’s earnings.
● The condemnation of lying, the encouragement to avoid it, and the fact that it removes barakah from one’s wealth.
● That working for the Hereafter brings benefit in both this life and the next.

What Is Thunder?
On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما who said: “Jews came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: ‘Tell us what thunder is?’, he ﷺ replied: ‘It is an angel from Allāh’s angels that is set over the clouds and in whose hands is a Mikhraaq (1) by which he drives clouds away, directing them where Allāh commands him’. They (the Jews) said: 'And what is the sound (of thunder) that we hear?’, he ﷺ said: 'It is the sound of his (angel) voice’, they said: 'You have spoken rightly’.”

Strive to distance yourself from anything that brings worry, sorrow, or distress so that you may always remain at ease, with a content and open heart, focused on Allah, His worship, and your worldly and spiritual affairs. If you practice this, you will find relief. However, if you burden yourself with regret over the past or excessive concern for the future in a way not sanctioned by Islamic teachings, know that you will exhaust yourself and miss out on much goodness.
