Nothing repels the extremely worldly Hardships as does the Tawhīd!
🍃 The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said,
“The supplication of Jonah, Dhul Nun (Yunus عليه السلام) when he called upon Allāh inside the belly of the whale was this, ‘There is no God but You, glory be to You for I have certainly been among the wrongdoers,’ (21:87).
Verily, a Muslim never supplicates for anything with it but that Allāh will answer him.”
📖 Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3505
🍃Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“Nothing repels the extreme worldly hardships as does Tawheed, this is why the supplication for distress and anxiety is with Tawheed.
A distressed person does not make duʿā’ with the supplication of Prophet Yūnus, except that Allāh drives away his distress and anxiety with Tawheed.
There is nothing more gruesome for the distressed person than Shirk, and there is nothing that can rescue you from it except Tawheed. It is the place of refuge for the creation, its shelter, its fortress and its means of (seeking) aid.”

Salamah Ibn Dīnār – Rahimahullah – said:
"Conceal your good deeds just as you conceal your bad deeds. And do not be impressed with your own actions, for you do not know whether you are destined for happiness or misery."

'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
Once we were sitting in the company of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when there appeared a man dressed in very white clothes and having extraordinary black hair.
No signs of fatigue of journey appeared on him and he was known to none of us.
He sat down facing the Prophet (ﷺ) leaning his knees against the knees of the Prophet (ﷺ) and placing both of his palms over his two thighs and said, "O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Tell me about Islam".
He (ﷺ) replied,
"Islam is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is the Messenger of Allah; that you observe Salat (prayers), pay Zakat, observe Saum (fasting) of Ramadan and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) of the House, provided you have resources of making journey to it."
He replied:
"You have spoken the truth." We were surprised to see that he had asked him and confirmed the correctness of the answers.
He then enquired:
"Tell me about Iman."
He (ﷺ) said:
"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day and that you believe in preordainment (destiny), its bad and good consequences."
He said,
"You have spoken the truth."
He then enquired:
"Tell me about Ihsan."
He (ﷺ) said,
"It is to worship Allah as if you are seeing Him; and although you do not see Him, He sees you."
He enquired:
"Inform me about the Hour (i.e., the Day of Resurrection)."
He (ﷺ) replied,
"I have no more knowledge thereof than you".
He said,
"Inform me about some of its signs."
He (ﷺ) said,
"They are - that a bondswoman gives birth to her own master, and that you will find the barefooted, naked, poor shepherds competing one another in the construction of higher buildings."
Then he departed. The Messenger of Allah kept silent for a while then he said to me,
"O 'Umar! Do you know who the questioner was?"
I replied,
"Allah and His Messenger know better."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"He was Jibril (Gabriel); he came to you to teach you your religion."

Don't leave anything for later.
Later, your warm drink will get cold.
Later, you'll lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, you'll get old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you'll regret not doing the things you could have when you had the chance.
Say Bismillah & do it now.

`Must read !!```The Mother of Musa عليه السلام threw Musa عليه السلام and had tawakkul. She literally threw her child away in the water. What is stopping us from throwing our worries in the same way and trusting Allah?
SubhanAllah there are so many lessons to learn from this single story of tawakkul and reliance on Allah.
This really happened, pause and actually reflect that this REALLY HAPPENED! It is not just a story. Allah protected baby Musa and delivered him to safety and then reunited Musa with his mother !
`❝So We restored you to your mother, that she might cool her eyes and she should not grieve.❞ {Surah Ta-Ha 20; Verse 40}`
🤲 May Allah restore what we have lost in the form of love, trust, security and peace. May our rabb grant us tawfeeq to truly trust Him with His plans for us - Allahumma ameen!

On this day 10th of Muharram.
The sea was in front, the enemy just behind. This is it, thought the Israelites. But not Musa. When his people cried out, '' We are finished!'' he stood firm and didn't waver. Instead, he responded:
" كَلآ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ " سورة الشعراء ٦٢
(He said: there is no means, my Lord is with me , surely He will surely show me a way out). Q26 V62.
And Allah saved Musa and his people while drowning Pharaoh and his own people

I often think about this quote..
"لا يستطيع أن ينفع الناس من أهمل أمر نفسه، فعناية المرء بنفسه - عقلًا وروحًا وبدنًا - لازمةٌ لهُ ليكون ذا أثرٍ نافع في الناس."
آثار ابن باديس (١٧/٤)
A person who neglects himself cannot benefit others. So one’s care for himself in - mind, soul, and body - is essential for him to have a beneficial impact on people.

Fear of a bad Ending...
“Sufyān al-Thawrī, may ALLAAH HAVE mercy on him, once cried a whole night until the morning, so in the morning he was asked if his cry was due to the fear of sins.
He picked hay from the ground and said:
‘Sins are lighter than this hay, I only cried out of fear of the bad ending.’
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
And this is the peak of Fiqh (knowledge and understanding) that a man fears that his sins let him down at the time of death and that they come between him and the good ending.”
