ʿĪsā عليه السلام:

“Woe to the companion of the dunya: how he dies and leaves it behind! He feels secure with it, yet it deceives him; he trusts it, yet it betrays him.

Woe to those who are deluded: how what they dislike will keep them awake at night, what they love will part from them, and what they were promised will come to them.

Woe to the one whose concern is the dunya and whose deeds are sin, how he will be disgraced tomorrow because of his sin!”

[Tasliyah Ahl al-Masaʼib, p. 327]

Beware of using Religion for your own personal benefit ~

Once Ibn Al-Muhaireez (a great tabi’ee and scholar) entered a shop to buy a garment.

A man said to its owner, “This is Ibn Muhaireez, be good to him in your sale”.

Ibn Al-Muhaireez became angry and left.

He said, “We buy with our money not with our religion”.

• Source: Al-Bayhaqi’s ‘Shu’ab Al-Iman’, 7/229

#Lesson: Beware of using your ‘religiosity’ for personal gain. Make sure you don’t rely on the comfort of people’s adoration and what they like to give you because of your piety or knowledge.

Islaam is a religion of justice!

"Aid your brother whether they are the oppressor or oppressed"

If there is something that should really worry us out it should be the below:

• Mushaf is too dusty
• Eyes are too dry
• Heart is too hard
• Mind is too occupied
• Body is too heavy at night
• Food is too much
• Tongue is too sharp
• Habits are too stubborn
• Sins are too easy
• Dunya is too attractive

May Allah make protect us all.

Music Brings Immoralities!!

🖋️ Shaikh’ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullāh) said:

Whoever increases in listening to poetry (music) to improve his heart, his desire to listen to the Quran will decrease to the point where he’ll hate it!

[Iqtida’ al-Sirat al-Mustaqim, v. 1, pg. 542]

🖋️ Shaykh Muhammad Salih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) said:

Listening to music enters the heart, which leads to corrupting the heart, it affects (one's) faith and corrupts the heart in the same manner as poison enters the body (eventually killing it).

[Sharh al-Kafiyyah ash-Shafiyyah, 4/348, Shaykh Muhammad Salih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah)]

🖋️ Shaykh-ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said :"Music is forbidden according to all of the four Imāms (A`immah)."

[منهاج السنة (٣\٤٤٢)]

🖋️ Shaykh Ibn Baz رحمه الله said: “Music is not a remedy, it is a disease.”

[Majmū al-Fatawa, 9|429]

🖋️ Imām ash-Shafi'ī رحمه الله said: "Whosoever listens to music, then he is an idiot (سفيه) whose testimony is to be rejected."

{الام للشافعي ٦/٢٠٩}

🖋️ Sh. al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: “That a person prefers listening to music above the Qur'an shows that he’s a friend of Shaytan and not a friend of Allaah.”

[al-Furqan bayna Awliya ar-Rahman wa Awliya al-Shaytan (p.55)]

🖋️ Imām al-Qurtubī [رحمه الله] said: “(Music) stirs up desires and corruption and immorality.”

[az-Zawājir ‘an Iqtirāf al-Kabā’ir, v. 2, p. 193]

🖋️ Yazīd ibn Al-Walīd رحمه الله:

"O sons of Umayyah! Beware of music, for it diminishes modesty, increases lust, and destroys manhood!"

[AI-Bidāyah Wa An-Nihāyah: 10/463]

Someone asked Tamim ibn Aws Ad Dāri radhiyallāhu ʿanhu, “ _how is your prayer at night?”_

So *Tamim became very angry* and said:

> “ *By Allāh! Offering a single rakʿah at night in secret is more beloved to me than praying the entire night and then informing people about it.* ”

[صفوة الصفوة ١ / ٢٩٠]

Some men are nothing to write home about, when it comes to maintaining or taking care of their women and homes, they're sheep in wolve's clothing... No doubt!

However, some women of today are the architect of their woes for when their haughtiness and "I-Know-It-All" ideology led them to a tiger's den, they should STOP disturbing us with emotional blackmail.

I tell you, Some marries without the approval or knowledge of their parents/guardian.
So, when it boomerangs, you should be able to bear the brunt, not by ascribing names to all men!

We're not the same with "your MEN".

Its your Life when you were about embarking on that journey. Now, we don't have to breathe because you made some costly mistakes??

Nah!

Live with it!

Abu Rayyān

THERE ARE 5 TYPES OF WEALTH
1. Financial Wealth ( Money and Possessions)
2. Social Wealth ( Status and Popularity)
3. Time Wealth ( Freedom)
4. Physical Wealth ( Health and Vitality)
5. Spiritual Wealth ( Peace of Mind, Self Respect)
Be careful of JOBS that lure you in with 1 and 2 but rob you with 3, 4 and 5.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allāh have mercy on him - said:

“The heart was created solely for the love of Allāh, the Almighty. Do not scatter your heart in seeking love, security, and perfection from other than Allāh. You will not find it, and the heart will continue to be let down by people. And they are all excused, due to their own deficiency and weakness. You will continue to be disappointed and hurt until you become certain that true attachment is only befitting for Allāh, and that the heart does not find rest, tranquility, and a sense of security except with Allāh. So, love others for the sake of Allāh, in accordance with Allāh’s will, and to please Allāh not to please yourself. And whoever pleases Allāh, He will please them, even if after a while.”

Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 10/134

—

This reminds the heart of its true home. We spend so much of our lives expecting people to fill spaces that were never meant for them, seeking reassurance, permanence, and perfection from hearts as fragile as our own. And when they fail us, we ache. Not because they are cruel, but because they are human.

Redirect your heart back to Allāh —the only One whose love does not fluctuate, whose presence does not fade, and whose promise never breaks. When the heart learns to anchor itself in Allāh, disappointments no longer shatter it; they merely pass through it. People are loved without being idolized, and expectations are replaced with mercy.

True peace comes when we love for Allāh’s sake, not to fill our own emptiness, but to seek His pleasure. And in that surrender, the heart finally rests secure in the certainty that whoever entrusts their heart to Allāh will never be abandoned. Even if the ease is delayed, Allāh’s pleasure is always worth the wait. 🫶🏻 #Love #LoveOfAllāh #LoveForAllāh #LoveForHisSake ✨

Shaykh Sāliḥ bin Fawzān al-Fawzān حفظه الله said: "It is not sufficient for a person to only know the truth; rather, it is must that a person knows the truth and knows falsehood. A person should know the truth so he can act upon it. And the person should know falsehood so he can stay away from it. If a person does not know falsehood, he will fall into it and he will not know it."

● {Silsilah Sharḥ ar-Rasā'il lil Imām Al-Mujaddid Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul Wahāb, page 62}

Secluding Oneself in Times of Fitan

Ibn ʿAqīl Al-Ḥanbalī was asked:
“People are surrounded by much evil, tribulation, and affliction. Is it better for a person to mix with them, or is it better for him to remain in his home and withdraw from people?”

He replied:
“If he is among the people of knowledge, then he should mix with them, visit them in their homes, and allow them to visit him in his home—even in times of tribulation, affliction, and evil. But if he is from the common people, then no.”

It was said to him:
“And why is that?”

He said:
“Because the scholar is like a stray camel, as mentioned in the saying: ‘Leave it, for it has its water-container and its sandals; it will reach water and eat from the trees.’ As for the common person, he will fall into false doctrines without realising it, like a stray sheep—either for you, for your brother, or for the wolf.”

#NewYear

My New Year Resolution Is ....

Not to spend a penny or waste a second in any such celebrations as they are neither useful in this world nor in hereafter.
I believe we are answerable to ALLAH for all our actions.

➨ QURAN 23:115
Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?
➨ QURAN 6:32
And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah , so will you not reason?

► PROPHET MUHAMMAD (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are)
1) Health and
2) Free time for doing good.

(SAHIH BUKHARI Hadith #6412)

► PROPHET MUHAMMAD (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
The feet of the son of Adam shall not move from before his Lord on the Day of Judgment, until he is asked about FIVE things:
1) About his life and what he did with it,
2) About his youth and what he wore it out in,
3) About his wealth and how he earned it
4) And spent it upon,
5) And what he did with what he knew (knowledge).

(SUNAN TIRMIDHI Hadith #2316-2317)

ULTIMATE BLAST ...

► PROPHET MUHAMMAD (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
1) The most affluent of the people in this world, of the inhabitants of the Fire, (who will be) will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and dipped once in the Fire. Then it will be said: 'O son of Adam, did you ever see anything good? Did you ever have any pleasure?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, O Lord.'
2) Then the most destitute of the people in this world, (who will be) of the inhabitants of Paradise, will be brought and dipped once in Paradise, and it will be said to him: 'O son of Adam, did you ever see anything bad? Did you ever experience any hardship?' He will say: 'No, by Allah, O Lord. I never saw anything bad and I never experienced any hardship."

(SAHIH MUSLIM Hadith #7088)

Ibn Hibbān رحمه الله said:

“Brothers are known in times of need, since everyone is a friend in times of ease. The worst of brothers is the one who deserts his brother during hardship or in a time of need.”

People celebrate the passing of days and years in the form of birthdays and New Years’.

And the irony is that when they grow old they yearn for these lost days and years, and the lost youth and health…

Narrated Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما: Allaah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to a man in the course of an exhortation:
❝Grasp five things before five others: your youth before your decrepitude, your health before your illness, your riches before your poverty, your leisure before your work, and your life before your death.❞
📚 [al-Haakim, and classified as Saheeh by Shaikh al-Albaanee in Saheeh al-Targheeb 3355, also in Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh 5102]

Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, reports that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

"The most merciful of my nation to my nation is Abu Bakr ;

the firmest in abiding by Allah's Commands is Umar;

the most bashful is Uthmaan;

and the best in judgment is Ali."

(Reported by Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasaa'i.)

📌 The Illusion of the World (Dunya)

Al-Hasan al-Basri (رحمه الله) said:

"This world is only three days:
yesterday has gone and will never return,
tomorrow you may never reach,
and today is all you have so do good in it."
- Kitab al-Zuhd, Ibn al-Mubarak

📖 Qur’an Reminder:

وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ.

"And the life of this world is nothing but an illusion of enjoyment."
- Qur’an 3:185

🟢 Reminder:

Yesterday is gone forever.
Tomorrow is not promised. All you truly own is today and what you do with it will follow you into eternity.

Zuhd isn’t about abandoning the world it’s about not letting the world abandon your Hereafter.

Beauty is not what people see when they look at you, beauty is what they discover when they find out what is inside of you😊💕

From Ibn ʿAbbās, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

Blessings are with your seniors.

Ibn Ḥibbān et al. Graded ṣaḥīh by Al-Albānī and others. See Al-Ṣaḥīḥah no. 1778.

From Ibn ʿUmar, from Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ that he said:

Jibrīl told me to give precedence to those who are older.

Recorded by Abū Bakr Al-Shāfiʿī in Al-Fawāʾid, and graded authentic by Al-Albānī in Al-Ṣaḥīḥah no. 1555.

Allah ﷻ tested His Prophets to show us the way through our own trials:

· Nuh (AS) was tested with a flood.
· Ibrahim (AS) was tested with fire.
· Ya’qub (AS) was tested with grief and blindness.
· Yusuf (AS) was tested with betrayal and separation.
· Ayyub (AS) was tested with severe illness.
· Musa (AS) was tested with a tyrant.
· Yunus (AS) was tested in the darkness of the sea.
· Dawud (AS) was tested with war and power.
· Sulayman (AS) was tested with an immense kingdom.

Their response was never a faithless "Why me?" Instead, they turned to Allah with "Ya Allah!" with patience, prayer, and absolute trust.

If the best of creation were tested, who are we to think we should be spared? Our tests are not a sign of Allah's anger, but an opportunity to draw closer to Him, just as His Prophets did.

So, the next time a trial comes your way, remember: you are in the company of the Prophets. Respond with Sabr (patience) and Salat (prayer).

( COPIED POST )

The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

“Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim who asks Allāh for something but He will give it to him, so seek the last hour after ‘Asr.”
