4️⃣ And I praise Him when He does not afflict me in my religion.
📚[Siyar A`laam al-Nubalaa’ (4/105)]
📑 Note: The worst type of calamity is in religion, when a person is prevented from carrying out an obligation, or when a person abandons the good things he used to do.
As for the calamity in the worldly affairs, the wealth and health come and goes, but when the religion goes away, it is a sign of certain doom.
bee narrated that al-Shuraih said:
❝When I am afflicted with a calamity, I praise Allaah تعالى (by saying: Alhamdulillaah) four times for that:
1️⃣ I praise Allaah تعالى that He did not make the calamity severe than that
2️⃣ And I praise Him when He grants me to be patient about it
3️⃣ And I praise Him when He guides me to say al-Istirjaa’ (Inna lillaahi wa inna ilaihi raajioon)4️⃣ And I praise Him when He does not afflict me in my religion.

Al-Imām adh-Dhahabi, [may Allāh have mercy on him], said:
“In times of trial and tribulation, hold fast to the guidance of the Messenger of Allāh, صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. Guard your tongue through silence, and distance yourself from affairs that neither concern you nor bring you peace. Surrender your hardships to Allāh, Exalted is He, and to His Messenger, صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ, and pause with contentment to say: ‘Allāh knows best.’”

Some Reasons Why Some Who Know The Truth Still Reject It
Ibn Taimiyyah [رحمه الله] said:
❝A person might know that the truth is [found] with someone else; despite this, he outwardly denies that [truth] due to his envy for him, his wanting to be in a higher position above him, or [his having] desires in [his] soul.❞

Why do so many of us care more about our careers than the Qur’an?
We stress over exams, school, university, and work…
But we barely know the Qur’an.
We cry over grades but not over our distance from the Words of our Lord.
📍 Majority of us neglect the Words of Allah.
We don’t recite it daily. We don’t reflect.
We don’t make time for it, yet we make time for everything else.
📍 Some of us did memorize and study the Qur’an… but we didn’t act upon it.
We know the verses. We know the rulings.
But we leave them behind when it comes to our desires, our habits, and our lifestyle.
🕯️ The Qur’an is not just a book to be memorized
It’s a guide to be lived.
It’s the very reason you were created.
This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah.
Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:2
💔 How do we expect to survive in this dunya
With its confusion, depression, trials, and chaos
When we’ve turned our backs on the only rope that can save us?
How do we expect to become a better Ummah… if we don’t even understand the guidance that was sent to build us?
🔥 And how do we expect to survive the Hereafter and be protected from Hellfire if we lived a life disconnected from the Words of the One who created us?
And the Messenger will say, ‘O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’an as [a thing] abandoned.
Surah Al-Furqan, 25:30
Every soul will be held responsible for what it has earned.
Surah Al-Muddathir, 74:38
🧠 Think about it.
You know the Day of Judgment is coming.
You know Allah will ask about every second of your life.
Then you will surely be asked that Day about every pleasure.
Surah At-Takāthur, 102:8
What will you answer?
Will your heart be full of Qur’an…
or full of dunya?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymin (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on congratulating people on the occasion of the Hijri new year, and how should one reply to a person who offers congratulations?
He replied:
“If someone offers you congratulations, then respond to him, but do not initiate such greetings. This is the correct view concerning this matter. So if a person says to you, for example, “Happy New Year”, then you can say, “May Allah make it a good and blessed year for you.” But you should not initiate such a greeting,
because I do not know of any report that the salaf [early generations of Islam] congratulated one another on the occasion of the new year, rather the salaf did not regard the first of al-Muharram as the first day of the new year until the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him.”

THOSE WHO SPEAK ON THE QUR'AN WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE ARE WORST THAN THE WORST LIARS WHO SEEK TO DISTORT THE TRUTH!
Allah Ta'ala says (what means)
And verily, among them is a party who distort the Book with their tongues (as they read), so that you may think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book, and they say: "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie against Allah while they know it.

And when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words. They are as blocks of wood propped up. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. May Allah curse them! How are they denying (or deviating from) the Right Path.

The Prophetic Way of Eating Dates!
The Prophet ﷺ would place the pit of the date on the surface of his palm between his middle and index fingers, then throw it away without touching it with his fingertips or placing it in his palm. This prophetic guidance is mentioned in a hadith narrated by Muslim in his Sahih, Ahmad in his Musnad, and others.
In this noble etiquette, we see beautiful morals and cleanliness. He does not keep the pit on his fingertips because it has mixed with saliva, and if he puts his hand into the dates to take another one, he might touch another date that someone else will eat. He also does not place it in his palm because he might shake hands with someone or hold something.
There is no doubt that the saliva of the Prophet ﷺ is blessed, and the companions do not mind; rather, they wish to have their hands touched by his or to have something from his pure and purified sweat or saliva. However, he serves as a role model for people, wanting to teach his nation the etiquette of eating and to be considerate of others' feelings.
Where is this refined etiquette today at our tables? Have we searched our heritage for such manners that our Messenger taught us over 1,400 years ago? We are a civilized nation in all aspects because our guidance comes from Allah, but oh, how I wish my people would understand!

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions, "Is it difficult for any of you to recite one third of the Qur'an in one night?" This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, "Who among us has the power to do so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" Allah Apostle replied: " Allah (the) One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need.' (Surat Al-Ikhlas 112.1--to the End) is equal to one third of the Qur'an.

Why do Muslims fast on ʿĀshūrāʾ?
Because it marks the day Allāh freed Nabi Mūsā عليه السلام and Banī Isrā’īl from Firʿawn’s tyranny.
When Rasūlullāh ﷺ arrived in Madinah, he foundthe Jews fasting on this day (10th Muharram).
He asked about it, and they replied:
“This is a great day. It is the day on which Allāh saved Mūsā and his people, and drowned Firʿawn and his people.
So Mūsā fasted on it as a sign of *gratitude*, and we also fast on it.”
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Hadith 1130
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Hadith 2004
👉 This clearly shows: It was a day of celebration and thanksgiving…not mourning.
🕊️ Reflect on this:
🔹 Rasūlullāh ﷺ passed away in 11 AH.
🔹 The tragedy of Karbala occurred in 61 AH.
👉That’s a 50-year gap.
❓What were the Muslims (including Sayyidunā ʿAlī, al-Ḥasan, al-Ḥusayn رضي الله عنهم ) doing for those 50 years?
✅ They were fasting on ʿĀshūrāʾ, in line with the Prophetic Sunnah.
It was a celebratory day of shukr (gratitude)…not a day of mourning.
📌 Let us preserve the correct understanding, based on the Qur’an & Sunnah
