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 ,

Copied Allahumma bariq.

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.”

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaimeen رحمه الله said:

“Good deeds, good manners and kind treatment conquer the hearts of enemies more than swords conquer them!”

Sharh al-Kafiyah al-Shafiyyah (p. 202)

ATTACH YOUR HEART TO ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT ALLAHU AND YOU WILL LOSE THAT THING…‼️

Attach your heart to wealth, and you’ll constantly fear losing it. Attach your heart to people, and you’ll feel broken when they change or leave. Attach your heart to status, and you’ll be enslaved to people’s praise and crushed by their criticism.

Torment isn’t always physical. Sometimes it’s sleepless nights, anxiety, jealousy, emptiness, or the constant need to prove yourself.

So what should the heart attach to?
To the One who never changes. To the One who never leaves. To the One who said:
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. (Surah Ar-Ra’d 28).

Let your heart be anchored to Allah. Love Him the most. Trust Him the most. Hope in Him the most. Because everything else fades.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
مَن تَعَلَّقَ بِشَيءٍ عُذِّبَ بِهِ
Whoever becomes attached to something, will be tormented by it.

May Allahu Subhanallahu Wa’Tala always allow us to remember we need him. He doesnt need us for anything even If none of us prayed it wouldn’t lessen his dominion one bit. Ameen🕋

Is money the root cause of all evil?

The concept of money being the root of all evil is not necessarily true; in fact, this notion has no basis in Islamic teachings.

Many people often struggle with the concept of wealth and believe that it will sabotage their path to piety.

Money does not change people, it just amplifies who they already are.

If you're someone who is already kind and Allah blesses you with wealth, you'll be kinder. With your increased resources, you'll now be able to spend more on charities, be more generous with your families, build mosques, sponsor orphans, and so on.

If you used to donate,
you'll now donate more.

If you are a spender,
you will now spend more.

If you are egotistical by nature, achieving wealth will make you be Hyper egotistical. You might start to idolize money, prioritizing it above all else, and soon it becomes your object of worship; a subtle form of shirk.

If you're stingy, wealth will reinforce stinginess, making you hesitant to spend; even on those who have rights over you.

If you’re someone with malicious intent, gaining access to significant wealth can be dangerous. Money falling into the wrong hands will cause destruction such as funding weapons to cause a genocide.

Money does not cause evil at all, it reveals a person's true character, because with great power through wealth comes great responsibility. The generous becomes more generous, the wicked becomes more wicked.

You can change the narrative and make money be a powerful tool for good. Generosity will rewire your life. When you give your money away, things will start to change. New opportunities will show up out of nowhere. Unexpected connections will start to appear. In faith we call it barakah (divine blessings).

Wealth is a trust from Allah; share it wisely, for it’s not truly ours to keep. You don't need to be wealthy to give, if you're broke, give a dollar. Your sincere intention behind that one dollar may weigh more on your scale on the Day of Judgement. If you're financially stable, give past your comfort zone.

The cure isn't in the amount, it's in the sacrifice. Only then both spiritual and material wealth will begin to flow.

May Allah’s blessings help guide wealth to reach the right hands, where it will bring benefit to humanity. May He continuously increase their provisions and inspire them to spend in ways that will please Him. Ameen.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
What is the ruling on celebrating the Prophet’s birthday (al-Mawlid al-Nabawi)?

He replied:

Firstly, the exact night of the Prophet’s birth ﷺ is not known with certainty. In fact, some contemporary researchers have established that it was on the night of the 9th of Rabi‘ al-Awwal, not the 12th. Thus, fixing the celebration on the 12th has no basis historically.

Secondly, from the perspective of the Sharia, the celebration has no basis either. For if it were part of the religion of Allah, the Prophet ﷺ would have done it or conveyed it to his Ummah. And if he had done it or conveyed it, then it would necessarily have been preserved, because Allah the Exalted says:

“Indeed, it is We who sent down the Quran, and indeed, We will guard it.” (Qur’an 15:9)

Since nothing of that exists, it is known that it is not from the religion of Allah. And if it is not from the religion of Allah, then it is not permissible for us to worship Allah through it or seek closeness to Him by means of it. If Allah has placed a specific path to reach Him — the path brought by His Messenger ﷺ, then how can it be befitting for us, as His servants, to invent from ourselves another path that we claim will bring us nearer to Allah? This is a grave offense against the right of Allah, Exalted be He, that we legislate in His religion what He did not authorize.

Moreover, this entails a denial of the statement of Allah the Exalted:

“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.” (Qur’an 5:3)

So we say: if this celebration were part of the perfection of the religion, then it must have existed before the death of the Messenger ﷺ. And if it was not part of the perfection of the religion, then it cannot be from the religion, because Allah says: “Today I have perfected for you your religion.”

Whoever claims that it is part of the perfection of the religion, while it only appeared after the Messenger ﷺ, his statement entails rejecting this noble verse.

There is no doubt that those who celebrate the Prophet’s birthday ﷺ intend thereby to honor him, to show love for him, and to stir up enthusiasm and emotional attachment to him. All of this indeed falls under acts of worship: love of the Messenger ﷺ is an act of worship, and faith is not complete until the Messenger ﷺ is more beloved to a person than himself, his child, his father, and all people. Honoring the Messenger ﷺ is also worship. Likewise, stirring emotions towards him is part of the religion, since it inclines hearts toward his Sharia.

Therefore, celebrating the Prophet’s birthday ﷺ, intending thereby nearness to Allah and honoring His Messenger ﷺ, is an act of worship. And if it is an act of worship, then it is never permissible to introduce into Allah’s religion something that is not from it. Hence, celebrating the Mawlid is an innovation and forbidden.

Furthermore, we hear that within these celebrations occur major evils that are neither sanctioned by the Sharia, nor by natural sense, nor by intellect. They sing poems that contain exaggeration regarding the Prophet ﷺ, even raising him above Allah Himself — Allah’s refuge is sought. Also, we hear of the foolishness of some participants: when the reciter of the story of the birth reaches the words “the Chosen One (المصطفى) was born,” they all rise together, saying that the soul of the Prophet ﷺ has attended, and they stand in honor of it. This is foolishness.

It is also against proper etiquette, because the Prophet ﷺ disliked people standing for him. His Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), who loved him more than we do and revered him more than we do, would not stand for him because they knew he disliked it — while he was alive. So how then with these mere imaginations?

His Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), who loved him more than we do and revered him more than we do, would not stand for him because they knew he disliked it — while he was alive. So how then with these mere imaginations?

This innovation — meaning the innovation of celebrating the Mawlid — arose only after the passing of the three virtuous generations, and along with it came many reprehensible matters that undermine the very foundation of the religion, not to mention the mixing of men and women and other evils that often accompany it.

Hasbunallahu Wa Ni'mal Wakeel

_Sayyiduna Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas رضي الله عنه reported:_

_I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which people are tested most severely?”_

_The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,_

*“They are the prophets, then the next best, then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin.”*

*_(Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2398)_*

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“If Allah wills good for His servant, He will remove from his heart the desire to admire his own good deeds,
He will restrain his tongue from speaking about them to others,
And He will occupy his thoughts with his sins - so much so that they remain ever before his eyes until he enters Paradise.
Indeed, if a deed is truly accepted, the desire to take pride in it is removed from the heart, and the tongue is kept from speaking about it.”
