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).

"Unless you stand up for what is right, you're inevitably on the side of falsehood"
(Staying neutral in the face of injustice is akin to complicity or tacit approval.There are various ways in which we can serve the cause of justice and it's up to us to identify how best we can use our potential)

When someone tells you “this is an amānah” (أمانة) and asks you to keep it to yourself, they are not just asking for silence, they are placing a trust in you.
The word amānah comes from the same root as īmān and āmana, it is tied to faith, safety, and trust.
So when someone says something is an amānah, they are saying:
“I am trusting you with something that must be protected.” It means the information is not yours to share, repeat, hint at, or use, even casually.
Keeping an amānah is not only about not speaking; it is about guarding it in your heart, not exploiting it, not reshaping it, and not letting it harm the one who entrusted you.
In Islam, breaking an amānah is serious. The Prophet ﷺ taught that betraying a trust is a sign of hypocrisy. That tells us how heavy this is. An amānah may be a secret, a vulnerability, a plan, a mistake, or even someone’s pain. When it is handed to you, you become responsible before Allah for how you carry it.
Keeping an amānah does not mean covering up oppression or harm, Islam never commands silence in the face of injustice. But outside of that, when someone entrusts you with personal information, keeping it is an act of worship. You are choosing Allah over gossip, restraint over curiosity, and loyalty over ego.
So when someone says, “This is an amānah,” they are really saying:
“I trust your fear of Allah more than your desire to speak.”
May Allah make us people who protect trusts, honor confidence, and never take lightly what is placed in our care.

Wealth is power.
This is why, when Prophet Moses prayed against Pharaoh, he said:
رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلَىٰ أَمْوَالِهِمْ
“𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩.” (Qur’an 10:88)
Wealth is a powerful pillar for individuals, families, and governments alike. Muslims who belittle the importance of wealth only harm themselves. Such thinking is a deception of the Devil, who seeks to keep believers weak and dependent.
In the past, wars were often fought in the name of religion, with people forced to convert. Today, wars are largely driven by economic interests.

Anyone who discourages you from earning money, is your enemy…
Without money, you have no food, no shelter, no clothes, no healthcare, no respect, nothing! Without money, you cannot fulfil 2 pillars of Islam: Zakat and Hajj. Without money, you become a beggar, needy of others.
Teach your children, family members and members of the community the art of making money. Don't even leave it for the schools to teach them, because they teach them out-dated curriculums.
Teach your children that we live in a world of means and that without money, your hands will be tied.
Don't discourage them when they want to try new business ideas - don't cut their wings. Don't kill their ambitions. We should encourage our fellow-Muslims to generate wealth and make money, while at the same time working for our hereafter. It is not one or the other, we should work for both worlds.
Stop guilt-tripping Muslim business entrepreneurs by calling them ‘Dunya chasers’ etc.
Other communities have strengthened their finances while many of our people still think that money is a dirty word and business is "chasing Dunya". There is nothing wrong with wealth as long as it does not make you neglect the hereafter, as the Prophet himself said.
With money you can sponsor orphans, build water wells in barren deserts, help the poor, help hospitals, etc.

Avoid adding stress to someone who’s already distressed
Shaykh Abū ʿAmmār Yāsir Ad-Duba’i ḥafidhahullāh said:
A person in a state of distress cannot bear additional harm on top of what he is already suffering.
Yet some people do not behave properly when their brothers are in distress. For example, someone might visit his sick brother and say, “Subḥān Allāh, so-and-so had the same illness you have, and he died after a week.” You did not relieve his distress you added distress on top of distress.
So behave well and speak well.
Some people’s joking is inappropriate.
Your brother is distressed, and this is one of the mistakes you find: he says, “No, my brother, stop this pampering what we call dalla [spoiling]. There’s nothing wrong with you,” thinking that this will reassure him. But his brother is distressed and needs a comforting word.
There is a difference between seriousness and joking.
Some people might utter a word while the other is distressed, and they do not care.
