Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"If the people of truth were to remain silent about clarifying it, those who are mistaken would persist in their errors, and others would imitate them in that, and the silent ones would bear the sin of concealment."

A short lesson on Tawakkul!
The Titanic:
It was built by thousands of people.
Its captain proudly declared,
"Not even God can sink this ship."
Yet it sank on its very first voyage.
The Ark of Noah (peace be upon him):
It was built by a single man, and he said, “In the Name of Allāh will be its course and its anchorage.”
The entire world was drowned in the flood — except the Ark, which remained afloat.
Such is the power of true Tawakkul upon Allāh.
O Allāh, make us among those who rely upon You — and whom You suffice. Aameen

Men are known in times of need, not in times of ease.
Look around you in times of difficulty, who is still there? Who comes to your aid? Who stands with you? That is a man. And the same could be said if you change the "you" to ummah.
And there are men, who rush to the opportunity of reward with Allah as others rush to the opportunity of worldly profit. And they refuse to share the reward and want to do it all themselves, just as people would refuse to share money in this world.
It is they who resemble the sahaba, may Allah reward them abundantly and grant them all that is kheir in both lives.

It is reported that Ya’lā b. ‘Ubayd said, “We entered upon Ibn Sūqah, who said: ‘O nephew, let me relate to you something that will hopefully benefit you; for it benefited me. ‘Atā b. Abī Rabāh once said to us:'”
Those before you used to consider idle talk to be anything other than the Book of Allāh, or the enjoining of good, or the forbidding of evil, or speaking for the sake of your basic living needs. Do you deny that there are recording angels appointed over you? Sitting on your right and your left? Never is a word said except there is an observer prepared to record? Are you not afraid (ashamed) that your record of words and deeds be spread open only to discover that there is nothing of the hereafter in it?

Bilal ibn Sa'ad said:
"A brother who reminds you of Allah and the Hearafter every time he meets you is better for you than a brother who places a dinar ( money) in your hand every time he meets you."
This is because the Hereafter is better and everlasting, while the goodness of this world is transient. Therefore, one who is more concerned about your Hereafter than your worldly life is someone you should strive to be in the company of.

The weak and strong families according to Quranic examples...
* The Quran calls the spider's home the "weakest of all homes."
- The spider doesn't build its web for shelter or comfort. It builds it as a trap to catch and kill. This is like a family or community that is only about using others for personal gain, not about love and support.
- Studies shows that spiders are blood thirsty for food and show no mercy in the time of hunger. Female spider will eat their male counterparts after fertilisation. Their offspring devour their mother at the first given opportunity. This shows a life where selfishness is so extreme that it destroys the family from the inside out.
- Unlike the bees, a spiders home is completely exposed. No doors, no windows, no privacy. Her home is available for everyone to see
- The web might look beautiful and intricate, but it gives no real protection from rain, sun, or danger. This is a powerful warning that worldly things like money or power might look impressive, but they are a false foundation that will not protect you in times of trouble.
*The Quran calls the honey bee's home the "strongest of all homes."
- The honeybee's life is a perfect contrast. Its strength comes from working together.
- The bee is a diligent and hardworking insect that understands the purpose of its existence and lives its whole life in pursuit of it.
- The bees create honey, which is a source of healing and benefit for people. This shows that a strong community is not just good for its own members; it also gives back to the world.
- The bee serve as the model of success for society. They respond to Allah’s revelation and remain committed to both their individual work and to society as a whole.

If a prohibition reaches you, then refrain from it, and ask not whether it is impermissible or disliked. Likewise, if a command reaches you, then act accordingly and ask not whether it is obligated or recommended. When the Companions (may Allāh be pleased with them) were commanded by the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) they would not say, “O Messenger of Allāh, did you mean it to be an obligation or was it a recommendation?” Rather they would carry out the commandment instantly.
My advice to every believer is that if a commandment from the commandments of Allāh and His Messenger (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) reaches them, they say: “We hear and we obey”, and they carry out that commandment. Likewise, if they hear a prohibition, they say: “We hear and we obey” and they abstain, and take not any risks. The most compliant to the commandments of Allāh are indeed the strongest of people in faith.
إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن يَقُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allāh (His Words, the Qurʾān) and His Messenger (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) to judge between them, is that they say: "We hear and we obey." And such are the prosperous ones (who will live forever in Paradise).

Islam = solution for mankind
Islam is a complete way of life. It teaches us how to honour our parents, how to marry with respect, how to speak with kindness, how to sleep, eat, and even conduct business. Every action has guidance. It shapes not just faith, but also character.

The Wife’s Role In Advising The Husband
Aisha (رضي الله عنها), used to teach the women, and command them to teach their husbands. It was reported on the authority of Muadhah that Aisha said, "Command your husbands to clean themselves with water after relieving themselves, for verily l am shy of them, and indeed, the messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to do it.
The esteemed scholar, Shaykh Muhammad al-Mukhtaar ash-Shinqitee said, “In it is an evidence that the woman is to command her husband and prohibit him when she knows a matter of the religion that he does not; likewise, she is to give him advice concerning what she sees to be best for him.”

O MUSLIMA- LET'S REFLECT
A LETTER TO MYSELF
A REMINDER FOR MY SOUL
WHO AM I WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING?
NOT ON INSTAGRAM, NOT AT THE MADRASSA, NOT IN A GATHERING...
JUST ME, ALONE IN MY ROOM, WHEN NO ONE SEES ME BUT ALLAH.
WHAT DOES MY SALAAH LOOK LIKE WHEN THERE’S NO ONE TO IMPRESS?
IS MY SUJOOD STILL LONG? IS MY HEART REALLY PRESENT?
OR AM I JUST TICKING OFF A BOX TO SAY, “I PRAYED”?
WE TALK SO MUCH ABOUT DEEN.
WE POST REMINDERS, SHARE HADITH, TELL OTHERS WHAT’S RIGHT AND WRONG.
BUT WHEN IT’S JUST ME AND ALLAH,
DO I PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH?
DO I LOWER MY GAZE WHEN THERE’S NO ONE AROUND?
DO I TURN OFF WHAT I SHOULDN’T BE WATCHING?
DO I STOP MYSELF FROM GOSSIPING, EVEN IF IT'S JUST IN MY HEAD?
THIS IS WHAT SCARES ME:
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY PUBLIC ISLAM AND MY PRIVATE ONE.
IKHLAAS — SINCERITY.
DOING IT FOR ALLAH ALONE.
NOT FOR LIKES. NOT FOR PEOPLE’S APPROVAL. NOT EVEN FOR A “MASHA-ALLAH.”
BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF QUIYAMAT
ALL THE PRAISE, THE IMAGE, THE REPUTATION — IT WON’T MATTER.
ONLY WHAT WAS TRULY FOR ALLAH WILL REMAIN.
WHAT AM I DOING IN MY FREE TIME WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING?
AM I WASTING IT? FEEDING MY SOUL OR FEEDING MY DESIRES?
THE REAL ME IS THE ONE WHO COMES OUT WHEN THERE’S NO AUDIENCE.
THAT’S THE VERSION OF ME THAT ALLAH SEES.
THAT’S THE VERSION I NEED TO FIX.
YA ALLAH…
MAKE ME SINCERE.
LET MY PRIVATE LIFE BE CLEANER THAN MY PUBLIC ONE.
LET MY QUIET SALAAH, MY SECRET DUA, MY HIDDEN STRUGGLES — BE ENOUGH TO EARN YOUR MERCY.
LET ME FEAR YOU WHEN I’M ALONE.
LET ME LOVE YOU WHEN NO ONE ELSE SEES.
LET ME BE A TRUE MUSLIMAH — NOT JUST IN FRONT OF PEOPLE, BUT IN FRONT OF YOU.
YA ALLAH FAVOR ME WITH YOUR FORGIVENESS
AAMEEN.

I don't know any book on the subject of prophetic medicine more famous than the book of imam ibn qayyim. Here is the quotation where he clearly mentioned that topic of medicine is secondary in the teachings of prophet (PBUH).
"Disease of the heart is more harmful.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was sent as a guide, caller to Allah and His paradise. He taught about Allah, and explained to the Ummah what pleases Him, and ordered them to follow what pleases Him. He informed them as to what angers Allah and ordered them to avoid it. He informed them about the stories of the Messengers and what happened between them and their nations.
He also informed them about the creation of the world, its beginning and the resurrection, and how the people get salvation or misery in their lives.
As for the physical medicine, it is complementary and intended to serve the other purpose. It is used when it is needed. Whenever it can be left, it is mandatory to spend all the means and efforts to cure the hearts, keep them healthy, prevent its diseases, and protect it from everything which spoils it.
Treatment of the body without the treatment of the heart does not benefit at all; while the decline of the body alongside the repair of the heart is not very harmful. Moreover, this harm is very less and not permanent because always it follows permanent and complete blessings. And the success is with the help of Allah alone."
