Early morning:
In one of his lessons, ibn 'Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:
[شيء مشاهد الانسان إذا عمل في أول النهار وجد في عمله بركة . لكن للأسف أكثرنا اليوم ينامون فيفوت عليهم أول النهار الذي فيه بركة . وقد قال العامة : أمير النهار أوله .]
Something that you can witness is that when a person sets to work at the beginning of the day, he finds blessing in his time. Unfortunately, though, many of us today will sleep and miss out on the first part of the day which contains blessings. As people say, “The leader of the day is its first part.”

*DO NOT SELL YOUR HEREAFTER FOR YOUR WORDLY LIFE OR YOU WILL LOSE THEM BOTH*
Abu Nu’aim reported: Sufyan Ath-thawriy (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
*"Behave well in your private life and Allāh will make your public life excellent. Take care of what is between you and Allāh, and He will take care of what is between you and the people. Work for your Hereafter and Allah will suffice your affairs in this world. Sell your worldly life for your Hereafter and you will profit in them both together, and do not sell your Hereafter for your worldly life or you will lose them both together."*

No one knows who has been hungry for days, who has broken down in silence, or who has quietly died.
But who meets whom, where they go, what they do, and how “immoral” they are everyone seems to know that.
This is our tragedy we’ve stopped seeing pain and started calling curiosity righteousness.
Silence over hunger, injustice, and loneliness…noise, judgments, and moral outrage over people’s character.
If we truly became humane,
perhaps knowing that someone is hungry would matter more than policing someone’s morals.

Getting trained for handling failures is equally important.
There was a very brilliant boy, he always scored 100% in Science.
Got Selected for IIT Madras and scored excellent in IIT.
Went to the University of California for MBA.
Got a high paying job in America and settled there.
Married a Beautiful Tamil Girl.
Bought a 5 room big house and luxury cars.
He had everything that make him successful but a few years ago he committed suicide after shooting his wife and children.
WHAT WENT WRONG?
California Institute of Clinical Psychology Studied his case and found “what went wrong?”
The researcher met the boy's friends and family and found that he lost his job due to America’s economic crisis and he had to sit without a job for a long time. After even reducing his previous salary amount, he didn't get any job. Then his house installment broke and he and his family lost the home. they survived a few months with less money and then he and his wife together decided to commit suicide. He first shot his wife and children and then shot himself.
The case concluded that the man was Programmed for success but he was not trained for handling failures.
Now let's come to the actual question, What are the habits of highly successful people?
First of all, there are many people who will tell you about success habits but today I want to tell you that even if you have achieved everything, yet there is a chance to lose everything, nobody knows when the next economic crisis will hit the world. The best success habit according to me is getting trained for handling failures.
I also request every parent, please not only program your child to be successful but teach them how to handle failures and also teach them proper lessons about life. Learning high-level science and maths will help them to clear competitive exams but a knowledge about life will help them to face every problem. Teach them about how money works instead of teaching them to work for money. Help them in finding their passion because these degrees will not help them in the next economic crisis and we don’t know when the next crisis will hit the world.

Ibn al-Jawzī rahimahuLlaah said about the dunya:
“Know that time never remains in one condition — as Allah, the Almighty, said: ‘And such are the days We alternate among the people.’ [Āl ʿImrān: 140]
At times there is poverty, and at times wealth; at times honor, and at times humiliation; at times friends rejoice, and at times enemies gloat.
So the truly happy one is he who clings to one constant principle in all circumstances — the fear (taqwā) of Allah, the Almighty. Therefore, hold fast to taqwā in every situation, for then you will see in hardship nothing but ease, and in sickness, nothing but well-being.”
Ṣayd al-Khāṭir (pp. 164–165)

Are you Following The Crowd?
When Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) was walking in the market, he passed by a man who was supplicating,
اللهم اجعلني من القليل اللهم اجعلني من القليل
“O Allah, make me from the few! O Allah make me from the few!”
So ‘Umar said to him, “Where did you get this du`a’ (supplication) from?” And the man said, “Allah in His Book says:
و قليل من عبادي الشكور
‘And few of My servants are grateful.’ (Qur’an 34:13)”
So ‘Umar wept and admonished himself, “The people are more knowledgeable than you, O Umar!
O Allah make us from Your ‘few’ servants.”
Sometimes when you advise someone to leave a sin, they respond with “But everybody does it, it’s not just me!”
But if you look for the words “most people” in the Qur’an, you will find that most people -
ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون
“And however most people do not know” (7:187)
ولكن أكثرهم لا يشكرون
- “and most people do not show gratitude” (2:243)
and
و لكن اكثر الناس لا يؤمنون
- “and most people do not believe” (11:17).
And if you look for “most of them”, you will find that most of them are
و آن أكثرهم فَاسِقُون
- “definitely disobedient” (5:59)
و لكن أكثرهم يجهلون
- “ ignorant” (6:111)
بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون الحق فهم معرضون
- “turning away” (21:24)
So be of the “few”, whom Allah says about them:
و قليل من عبادي الشكور
- “And few of My servants are grateful.” (34:13)
و ما امن معه الا قليل
- “But none had believed with him, except a few.” (11:40)
في جنات النعيم ثلة من الاولين و قليل من الآخرين
- “In the Gardens of Bliss, A [large] company of the former peoples, And a few of the later peoples.” (56:12-14)
Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said, “Go on the path of truth and do not feel lonely because there are few who take that path, and beware of the path of falsehood and do not be deceived by the vastness of the perishers.”

Hijra isn’t a choice.
It’s a MUST
Hijra isn’t about passports, visas, or aesthetics.
Hijra is about saving your Akhira.
When the land you live in drags you into haram daily, normalises disobedience, mocks the commands of Allah, corrupts your children, weakens your iman, and makes sin easy and obedience heavy, then staying is not neutrality.
It’s surrender.
People say, “But my job… my house… my comfort.”
None of that will stand with you in the grave.
None of it will speak for you when you’re questioned alone.
Allah did not command hijra for convenience.
He commanded it for preservation of deen.
The Sahaba didn’t leave Makkah because it was easy.
They left because staying meant their iman was under attack.
They left wealth.
They left homes.
They left safety.
And Allah replaced it with honour.
The truth is harsh but clear:
If you can leave a place of fitnah and choose not to, you are choosing dunya over Akhira.
Hijra exposes intentions.
It separates excuses from sincerity.
It strips you of false security and forces tawakkul.
This path is not comfortable.
It’s not glamorous.
It’s not guaranteed ease.
But it is guaranteed sincerity.
And whoever leaves something for Allah, Allah replaces it with something far better.
Even if you don’t see it immediately.
This life is temporary.
Akhira is permanent.
Choose wisely.

If life feels restricted in one area, remember that Allah has surely given you ease in another.
If your wealth is limited, you may have been blessed with good health and well-being, something others may long for. Or Allah may have honored you with righteous children or a good legacy that will outlive you. Perhaps your heart has found true happiness and contentment in worshipping Allah, a gift greater than all the wealth of this world.
So, do not let your eyes wander to the worldly blessings others have. Trust in Allah’s wisdom and know that His blessings upon you are perfectly tailored for you.
Be grateful and say, Alhamdulilah for everything.

Oppression is oppression, regardless of whether the one committing it is a Muslim or not.
Narrated Anas (رضي الله عنه):
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one."
People asked: "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?"
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"By preventing him from oppressing others."
📚 Sahih Bukhari 2444
We can’t pick and choose justice depending on who the oppressor is. Islam teaches us to be just even if it’s against ourselves or our families:
“
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves or your parents or your kin.”
— Sūrah an-Nisā’ 4:135
Let us prevent oppression wherever it occurs. Speak up for Sudan like we speak up for Palestine — justice for the oppressed is a duty, no matter who the oppressor is.

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul Wahhab رحمه الله said,
I saw some people sitting in the mosque with their Qurans, reciting and weeping.
However, they did not enjoin the good if they saw it nor they did not prevent evil if they saw it.
I saw people sitting near them saying,
"These are the sources of benefit,”
But I said, "These are the sources of disgrace."
Someone heard me and said, "I can not (ever) say they are a source of disgrace!"
So, I replied to him, "Rather they are blind and mute."
And this is supported by what some of the Salaf said:
"The one who is silent about the truth is a silent devil, while the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil."

Ibn Jama‘ah al-Kinani al-Shafi‘i mentioned a fine and subtle point regarding the sign by which a person can know whether he is a “child of the dunya” or a “child of the Hereafter.” He related it from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Firas, who said:
I asked Mutahhir ibn al-Walid:
“With what can a person know whether he belongs to the people of the dunya or the people of the Hereafter?”
He replied:
Some people said:
“When he enters the prayer, let him observe the whispers that come to him in his salah: are they about worldly matters or about matters of the Hereafter?”
And others said:
“Let him look at the first concern that meets him when he wakes up from sleep.
Whatever first concern he encounters, he is from its people!
If the first thing that meets him is a concern of the dunya, then he is from the children of the dunya.
And if the first thing that meets him is a concern of the Hereafter, then he is from the children of the Hereafter.”
Mutahhir said:
“This is the better of the two statements.”
End quote.
From the book Anas al-Muḥāḍarah bimā Yustaḥsan fī al-Mudhakara (p. 666).

I asked Mutahhir ibn al-Walid:
“With what can a person know whether he belongs to the people of the dunya or the people of the Hereafter?”
He replied:
Some people said:
“When he enters the prayer, let him observe the whispers that come to him in his salah: are they about worldly matters or about matters of the Hereafter?”
And others said:
“Let him look at the first concern that meets him when he wakes up from sleep.
Whatever first concern he encounters, he is from its people!
If the first thing that meets him is a concern of the dunya, then he is from the children of the dunya.
And if the first thing that meets him is a concern of the Hereafter, then he is from the children of the Hereafter.”
Mutahhir said:
“This is the better of the two statements.”
