Learn to live alone, people will come to your funeral, not your grave.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said,

"The best thing to do during the early morning hours is to be preoccupied with prayer, Quran, supplication, remembrance of Allah (dhikr) and asking His forgiveness (istighfar)."

[Madarij as-Salikin, 1/188]

Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullah) said:

If you read (the Qur'an) with contemplation, even if over a (single) ayah, it is a key to healing your heart. Even if repeated a hundred times and for the (whole) night. Reading an ayah with contemplation and understanding is better than reading to completion without tadabbur and understanding. It is more beneficial for the heart and ensures gain in faith, and in tasting sweetness of the Qur'an.

[Miftaah Daar as-Sa’adah, 553/1]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله

"Do not be fooled if you do not see the effect of your sin immediately, because you may experience its effect after forty years."

[الداء والدواء 130]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"Be pleased with everything that Allāh does with you. For indeed He does not prevent you except to give you. He does not test you except to protect and save you. He does not give you ill health except to cure you. He does not give you death except to give life to you.

So beware of not being pleased with Him even for the blink of an eye. Such that you fall in His eye."

[Madārij as-Sālikīn | 2/208]

Life is Short, Be Intelligent

The intelligent person knows that real life is the life lived in happiness and tranquility, and that this life is very short. Therefore, he should not make it even shorter with anxiety and endless worries. This contradicts a meaningful existence. Let him be tenaciously stingy with his life and not allow large portions of it to be robbed from him by anxieties and worries.

And among the most effective ways to repel depression is to accustom yourself to not expect appreciation except from Allaah. If you treat someone who has a right upon you or no such benevolently, then know that this is due to your good etiquettes with Allaah, so do not worry about being thanked by them.

Allaah said about the best of His creation:

إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمْ جَزَآءً وَلَا شُكُورًا
"We feed you only seeking the Face of Allah. We desire not from you reward nor gratitude."
[Surat al-Insan (76:9)]

Extracted from the book, 'The Beneficial Means to a Happy Life by Shaykh Nasir al-Sa'di (Rahimaullah)

"It was difficult for us to memorise the Qur'an but easy for us to act on it. After us will be some people for whom it will be easy to memorise the Qur'an but hard to act on it. "

Some of What You Need to Know About Jumu'āh (Friday)

💫The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
Verily, Allāh has made this day (of Friday) a celebration for the Muslims. So whoever comes to Friday (prayer), then let him bathe himself, and if he has any perfume let him put some on, and use the toothstick.

📖 [Reported by Ibn Mājah 1098 and S‌ah‌i‌h‌ at-Targheeb 1/298]

💫 Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Al-Fawzān حفظه الله was asked:

What is the ruling on sending text messages every Friday and ending with the phrase “Jumu’āh Mubārak”?

He replied:

The early generation (salaf) did not congratulate one another on Fridays (did not say Jumu’āh Mubarak to each other) so we should not introduce anything that they did not do.

📖 [Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Al-Fawzān (حفظه الله), Ajwabat As’ilah Majallat al-Da‘wah al-Islamiyyah]


💫 The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
Increase in salutations upon me, on the day of Friday (Jumu’āh) and its night (from Thursday after Maghrib).

📖 [Ibnul-Qayyim رحمه الله, Zaad al-Ma’aad, 2/420]

💫 The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
The best of prayers with Allāh is the prayer of morning (Fajr) on the Day of Friday in congregation.

📖 [as-Saheehah, 1566]

💫 The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
There is such an hour on Friday, that if any Muslim makes Du’ā during it, his Du’ā will be accepted.

📖 [S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Al-Bukhārī, 5295, S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 852]

💫 The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early, gets close and listens and is silent, there will be for him in every step he takes, the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer).

📖 [Jami’ at-Tirmidhī, 496]

💫 The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
Jumu'āh to Jumu'āh expiates the minor sins in between them except for the major sins.

📖 [Silsilah as-Saheehah, 3623]

💫 The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ):
The best of days with Allāh is the day of Jumu'ah.

📖 [S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Jami’, 1098, as-Silsilah as-Saheehah, 1502]

💫 Ibnul-Qayyim (رحمه الله):
The Hour of Response in it (i.e., Friday) is like the Night of Decree in Ramaḍān.

📖 [Ibnul-Qayyim رحمه الله, Zaad al-Ma’ad, 1/893]

If we truly understood who Allah is, we would never trade our Hereafter for this dunya. Yet how many people do we see busying themselves with work, chasing the dunya, while neglecting to learn and give time to Ar-Razzāq—the Great Provider?

Do we not realize that Allah is the One who gave us everything we have? Why then do we forget Him, pouring all our energy into our jobs, when in a single moment Allah could take away our eyesight or our strength—and that same job would quickly replace us?

Some people have drowned in this dunya and will not awaken until they enter their grave—where regret will no longer benefit them.

May Allah have mercy on us, guide our hearts to goodness, and keep us mindful of Him always. Āmīn.

ٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ ۖ مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَا أَنتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَـٰذَا ۖ فَاصْبِرْ ۖ إِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Muhsin Khan Translation:
Surah 11 verse 49
This is of the news of the Ghaib (unseen) which We reveal unto you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم); neither you nor your people knew them before this. So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for the Muttaqun (the pious).

🔥🌷Hide your good deeds like you hide your bad ones 🌷 🔥

Hasan ‘l-Basrî said, speaking about the striving of the Salaf in hiding their deeds,

“A man would have gathered the Qur’ân (i.e. memorised it) whilst his neighbour would be unaware. Another man would have learnt a lot of Fiqh whilst the people would be unaware. A man would be praying lengthy prayer in his house, whilst he has guests, and they would not even realise. Indeed, I came across a people, there was not a single deed on the face of this earth which could be done in secret, that they ever done it in public!”

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,
❝The (Hell) Fire is surrounded with all kinds of desires and passions, while Jannah is surrounded with adversities.❞
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

❝In the life of this world the believer is like a captive, doing his best to free himself, and not feeling any security until he meets the All-Mighty Allah.❞
– Hasan al-Basri

**“SubhanAllah, the Prophet ﷺ said, ‘The grave is the most horrific sight you could see.’ Every time I step into a grave—some deeper than others—and complete the final touches, I can’t help but think: these are the worldly touches. But what about the reality for the one being laid here? Will this be a garden from the gardens of Paradise, or a pit from the pits of Hellfire? That answer depends solely on our actions and deeds in this life.

The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘The grave is either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of Hellfire.’ (Tirmidhi)

My brothers and sisters, prepare yourselves for that day. Beautify your grave now with righteous deeds, charity, prayer, and sincere repentance—before the soil closes upon us.”**

If you’re able to take the Quran as an Imam (leader), then do so! For verily it guides to al-Jannah!

When a man sets out for trade, he should have taqwá of Allāh and seek out what has been decreed for him only in the ḥalāl things. If he seeks wealth through non-ḥalāl things, he still will not be able to obtain more than the amount that has been decreed for him to have.

[Hishām (rahimahullāh) reported words of Muḥammad (ibn Sīrīn) (rahimahullāh); Abū Bakr al-Marwazī (rahimahullāh), al-Waraʿ 1/76, 231]

Why does Allah keep telling women in the Qur’an: “Do not be sad”?
Look closely…
These are not just random verses. These are divine hugs wrapped in words.

In Surah Al-Qasas:
"So that her eyes may be comforted and she may not grieve."(28:13)

In Surah Al-Ahzab:
"That their eyes may be comforted and they may not grieve.(33:51)

In Surah Maryam:
"Do not grieve."(19:24)

And again in Surah Al-Qasas:
*"Do not fear and do not grieve."*
(28:7)

Again and again…
Do not grieve. Do not be sad. Do not fear.
Why?

"Because your sadness is not small in the sight of your Lord."

Sadness in a woman isn't just an emotion—
It's a storm that shakes her soul,
affects her health,
weakens her body,
disturbs her sleep,
and sometimes breaks her spirit.

It can dim the sparkle in her eyes
and steal the strength from her heart.

And Allah—Ar-Rahman—knows this.

That’s why He speaks so gently to women in the Qur'an.
That’s why He says:
*"Don’t grieve."*
*"Don’t be afraid."*
*"Let your eyes find peace."*

Because He knows…

A woman’s sadness doesn’t stay in her tears.
It travels—
To her heartbeat,
To her womb,
To her hormones,
To her skin,
To her smile.

Allah doesn’t just protect her body.
He protects her emotions, her dignity, her peace.

That’s why even regarding mothers, He says:
*"Don’t even say uff to them."*
(Qur’an 17:23)

Because words hurt.
And her heart is delicate.
But her worth is monumental.

So if you’re a woman reading this—
With a storm inside your chest,
With eyes that cry silently at night—
Know this:

Your sadness matters to Allah.
Your tears are seen.
Your pain is recorded.
And your healing is written.

He repeats it not for Himself—
But so *you* remember:
You are not alone.

*"Do not be sad."*

May Allah heal every broken heart,
especially the hearts that break in silence. Ameen

A Beneficial Reminder To All Believers Yanih.

*Some things that should never leave your home:*
Your spouse's flaws. Your private arguments. Your struggles as a couple.

_Because the moment you let outsiders into your marriage_...

You open the door to *judgment*, unwanted opinions, and sometimes...
�The damage _can't_ be undone.

Venting to your friends?�It might feel good in the moment — but *they don't forget the things you forgive*.

Complaining to family?�They might take your side, but *they’ll* *hold grudges* *against your spouse* even after you’ve moved on.

Sharing your struggles online?�*Now strangers think they have a* *say in your marriage.*

A healthy marriage isn't built on exposure. It's built on *protection.*

*Talk to Allah*. Talk to your spouse. If you need guidance, talk to someone wise and trustworthy.

But *never let casual outsiders have* *a front-row seat to your* *private ,

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ enetered upon a young man in the throes of death and asked him: “How do you feel?”

The man said: “I hope good from Allāh O Prophet ﷺ and I fear for my sins.”

So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “These two (fear and hope) do not combine in a slave’s heart during the likes of this point (meaning the last struggle at death) except Allāh will give him that which he hopes for and will save him from that which he fears.”
