There is no such thing as “luck” in Islam. What people call luck is actually the Qadr of Allaah, His Divine Decree.

Allaah says: “No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a Register before We bring it into being. Indeed that, for Allaah, is easy.” (Al-Hadid 57:22)

The Prophet ﷺ said: “If the entire nation were to gather to benefit you, they would never benefit you except with what Allaah has already written for you. And if they were to gather to harm you, they would never harm you except with what Allaah has already written against you.” (Tirmidhi)

Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما said:

“Taqwa is that you do not see (nor consider) yourself better than anyone else.”

قال ابن عمر رضي الله عنه:

التقوى أن لا ترى نفسك خيراً من أحد

Translation: Authentic Quotes

Life ends in the soil, but the soul continues. Prepare for what truly remains.

Allah (subḥānahū wa taʿālā) tells us our purpose clearly: ‘I did not create jinn and men except that they worship Me’ (51:56).”

🌿 Connect With Life With Allah

“The value of a rich man is his wealth, while the value of a learned man is his knowledge. The former is valued according to his wealth: if it ceases, so does his value; he is left valueless. The value of a learned man does not decrease, it is always on the rise.” - Ibn Qayyim [Miftāh Dār Al-Sa’ādah, 1:418+]

Tawakkul

Sometimes Allah takes something away, and at first it feels like loss. But Allah never takes without intending to give better. Even in moments of uncertainty, He replaces, He provides, He opens doors at the right time.

It takes faith to believe that “Allah has something better for me.” But if He has carried you before, He can do it again. Have tawakkul, have sabr, and remind yourself: Indeed, He is the Best of Planners.

🌿 Connect With Life With Allah

“A funeral passed by, and the people praised the deceased with good, so the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘It has been affirmed.’ Then another funeral passed by, and they spoke of the deceased with evil, so he said: ‘It has been affirmed.’
‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: ‘What has been affirmed?’ He ﷺ said: ‘This one you praised with good, so Paradise has been affirmed for him. And this one you spoke of with evil, so the Fire has been affirmed for him. You are Allah’s witnesses on earth.’”
- [al-Bukhari & Muslim]

And Imam Ahmad رحمه الله said:
“Between us and you are the funerals.”

At the death of a scholar, Subhan Allah, when you see the people’s reactions and their testimony, you truly understand what Imam Ahmad meant; that the legacy of truth and sincerity is witnessed at the funeral, and it distinguishes the people of Sunnah from the people of deviation.

🌿 Trust in Allah

The Prophet ﷺ said:
"If you put your trust completely in Allah, He will provide for you as He provides for the birds. They go out hungry in the morning and return with full bellies in the evening."
— [Tirmidhi]

Put your heart at ease. Whatever is written for you will reach you, and whatever is not, will never be yours. Trust Allah’s plan—He is the Best of Planners.

⏳ The Fleeting Nature of This World 🌍

“If a man were given the entire world from beginning to end and then death came to him, it would be like seeing a delightful dream and waking up to find nothing in his hands.” — ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (raḥimahullāh)

The Extreme Danger Of Swearing By Other Than Allah: The Prophet ﷺ Forbade This!

Sheikh Aziz Bin Farhan Al Anizi حفظه الله

*THE VIRTUES OF REACHING OLD AGE*

‘No one reaches forty years in Islam except that Allah protects him from madness, leprosy and leucoderma. When he is fifty, Allah makes easy his reckoning. When he reaches sixty, Allah grants him repentance. And when he reaches seventy, Allah loves him and the inhabitants of the heavens love him. And when he reaches eighty, Allah accepts his good deeds and overlooks his sins. When he reaches ninety, Allah forgives his past and future sins, he is named ‘the prisoner of Allah on earth’ and is granted intercession [for forgiveness] for his family.’

This Hadith is reported by several Sahabah رضي الله عنهم and is recorded in many Hadith collections with slight variations in the wording.

[Lisanul Mizan, no. 1582]

ALLAH CURSES FOUR KINDS OF PEOPLE.

Abu't-Tufayl (radiAllahuanhu) said, "'Ali ibn Abe Talib (radiAllahuanhu) was asked, 'Did the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam), give you something special which he did not give to anyone else?' He replied, 'The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam), did not give me anything special which he did not give to everyone else except for what I have in my sword scabbard.' He brought out a piece of paper. Written on that paper was:

'Allah curses anyone:

1. Sacrificing an animal for other than Allah.
2. Allah curses anyone who steals a milestone. 3. Allah curses anyone who curses his parents. 4 Allah curses anyone who gives shelter to an innovator.'" [Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 17]

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ أَبِي بَزَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ‏:‏ سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ‏:‏ هَلْ خَصَّكُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَخُصَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ مَا
خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَخُصَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ، إِلاَّ مَا فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً، فَإِذَا فِيهَا مَكْتُوبٌ‏:‏ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الأَرْضِ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا‏.‏

Never Blame Allah for Your Hardship, Own Your Faults Instead.

In times of hardship, a believer never blames Allah. Calamities often come from our own actions, just as the Quran reminds us through the stories of Uhud and Prophet Yunus عليه السلام. True faith means accepting Allah’s Qadr with patience and humility.

Make dua in the Last hour of FRIDAY!

May Allah ﷻ grant justice to our brothers and sisters in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Yemen, Uyghurs, Kashmir, Syria and everyone oppressed.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said,

If Allaah puts a person under certain tests and trials and the person recognizes that he must resort to Allaah alone seeking His help,

then this is a good sign for him; the trials turn to purification and mercy.

If on the other hand, he rejects, complains, and turns away from Allaah and seeks help from human beings like himself, then this is a bad sign for him;

the trials turn to punishment and misery for him.
