When Ibn Taymiyyah entered prison, he found the prisoners pre-occupied with various types of games with which they passed time, such as chess, backgammon and the likes, of (those things that lead) to neglect of the five daily prayers.
So Ibn Taymiyyah disapproved of that from them.
He commanded them to adhere to the five daily prayers and to turn to Allaah through performance of righteous deeds, glorification of Allaah, seeking forgiveness for their sins and du’3a.
He made them acquainted with what they were in need of from the Sunnah.
He awakened their desire for it and urged them towards it, until a lot of good came about in the prison until the prison turned into a place of knowledge and religion so it became better than many of the small prayer rooms, the hospices, the places where people secluded themselves for worship and even the schools!
And it reached a point where many prisoners chose to remain with him after they were released, and those returning to the prison, which made it became so numerous that it became filled with them!

What brings tranquility to the hearts?
"Surely, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find tranquility"
Surah ar-Ra‘d (13:28)
What does “find tranquility” (تطمئن) mean?
It means: to become wholesome, calm, content, comforted, and happy.
What is meant by the remembrance of Allah (ذكر الله)?
The remembrance of Allah is of five types:
1. Praising Allah through His Names and Attributes.
2. Glorifying Him — through tasbīḥ (سبحان الله), taḥmīd (الحمد لله), takbīr (الله أكبر), tahlīl (لا إله إلا الله), and exalting Him.
3. Supplicating Him, seeking His forgiveness, and humbly turning to Him.
4. Reciting the Qur’an.
5. Studying Allah’s rulings, commands, and prohibitions — which is the remembrance of the scholar.
These are the doors to happiness—open and made easy for anyone whom Allah grants success.

Mark these remarkable words of one of the sub continent's greatest scholars. So relevant to our times, as if this was specifically told for Indian Muslims.
"If you make Muslims one hundred per cent mindful of their Nawafil (optional prayers) making them all very pious, but leave them cut off from the wider environment, ignorant of where the country is heading and of how hatred is being stirred up in the country against them, then, leave alone the optional prayers, it will soon become impossible for Muslims to say even their five daily prayers.
"If you make Muslims strangers in their own land, blind them to social realities and cause them to remain indifferent to the radical changes taking place in the country and the new laws that are being imposed and the new ideas that are ruling people's hearts and minds, then let alone (acquiring) leadership (of the country), it will become difficult for Muslims to even ensure their own existence"

The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy (Sūrah Al Hujuraat verse 10)
And finally treat people like you would like to be treated! Before you mock them, take these two as a reminder/warning:
Ibn al-Qayyim said: “Whoever mocks his brother for a sin they repented from will not die until he himself falls into the same sin.” [Madaarij vol 1 p. 177]
Ibn al-Qayyim: Allāh is towards you as you are towards Him and His servants. [al-Wabil, p. 80]

"Unless you stand up for what is right, you're inevitably on the side of falsehood"

"The Poor Man Whose Name Lives in Thousands of Hadiths"
Who was this poor man who only lived with Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam for three years - but today his name is immortalized in thousands of hadiths throughout the world?
That is the story of Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu 'anhu.
Abu Hurairah came to Medina without wealth, without family, and without a place to shelter. He arrived late after the Khaibar War, when many other friends already had stories of struggle. Meanwhile, he only brought a piece of clothing... and a mountain of determination in his chest.
He lived in Shuffah—a small veranda behind the Nabawi Mosque which housed the poor. People who don't have a home, but have a big dream: heaven.
The days are full of hunger.
Sometimes he held his stomach until his body almost collapsed. Sometimes he tied stones to his stomach to keep it strong.
But every time the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) went out to teach, Abu Hurairah was always there. Sitting in the front row, listening with a fully awake heart.
In just three years, he managed to memorize more than 5,000 hadith.
Without a pen.
Without paper.
With only his memory—and an unwavering love.
While other companions were trading, waging jihad, or taking care of their families, Abu Hurairah memorized every sentence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as if the world stopped turning every time he spoke.
When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) died, Abu Hurairah wept—not only because he had lost a prophet, but because he realized:
the voice he had memorized was no longer in this world.
He said through tears:
"I am not crying because he is gone.
I am crying because the knowledge that once came from his tongue... is no longer heard."
From that day on, every time he narrated a hadith, tears often came to his eyes. For him, every hadith is not just knowledge—but memories, light, and wisdom that live in his heart.
Abu Hurairah lived in poverty.
But he bequeathed endless wealth:
science that today continues to be taught throughout the world.
He left no wealth behind.
However, every hadith that begins with his name is proof that Allah honors anyone who sincerely seeks knowledge.
He came to Medina empty-handed—
but return to the afterlife with radiant lips.
Because people who guard the knowledge of the Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam...
will not die, even when the body has been buried.

Life isn’t always amazing.
Sometimes you’re happy, and within minutes, you’re sad.
Sometimes you love deeply, and suddenly you’re broken.
Today you’re healthy, tomorrow you’re sick.
And this reminds us that life is not balanced.
Accept whatever comes your way as a test, and keep moving forward.
Don’t dwell on what’s beyond your understanding because truly, we can’t carry everything. Only the One who created everything can.
Remember you can’t have it all, wallāhi.
Life can humble you at any moment.
Be grateful for what brings you joy,
and be patient with the moments that bring pain.
Life itself may not always be amazing,
but with Allāh, everything will be okay in the end.

🌠Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Oppression
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA): That the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim, he doesn't oppress him and doesn't put him into ruin, and whoever is concerned for the needs of his brother, Allah is concerned for his needs, and whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens of the Day of Judgement and whoever covers (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will cover (his faults) on the Day of Judgement."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1426, Book 17, Hadith 6)
Care for others and you will be cared for, looked after and protected just as you protect others. Do as you would want done to you and help those far away and near with whatever you can, be it assistance, support or charity.🌠

So a man said: ‘I know him, O Chief of the Believers.’
Umar said: “What do you know of him?”
The man said: ‘Uprightness.’
Umar said: “Is he your closest neighbour; so that you know about his night and his day, and his comings and goings?”
The man said: ‘No.’
Umar said: “So have you had (monetary) dealings with him involving dirhams and deenars, which will indicate his piety?”

HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST ONE'S OWN SOUL
▪️Shaikh Muḥammad Naṣir ud-Dīn Al-Albānī, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
My opinion is:
وجَاهِد النَّفْسَ والشَّيطانَ واعْصِهِما
وَإنْ هُما مَحَضاك النُصْحَ فَاتَّهِمِ
Fight hard against [both] soul and devil, and disobey them both;
And were the two to advise you truly, cast doubt upon [that].
The devil (shaytān) never gives true, sincere advice to his enemy, Man, and because of that, it is an obligation on every Muslim to do his utmost in fighting against himself and his desires. It’s because of that he ﷺ said: “The mujāhid [one who fights for Allāh’s sake to make His word uppermost] is the one who fights his own soul for Allāh’s sake.”
It’s not allowed for [a Muslim] to surrender to the desires of his soul because this surrendering will take him to destruction. Accordingly, a Muslim should always keep in mind the final outcome, [always] keep in mind [his] final home in the Hereafter:
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
And the Hereafter is certainly better for you than the present (Ad-Ḍuḥā, 4)
And the final place of the Hereafter, as you know, has Pleasure [Paradise] there and has a Blazing Hot Fire there, and this Blazing Hot Fire, that is to say, has within it various kinds of torment that the human mind cannot conceive of. From that, for example, is his ﷺ saying: “This fire of yours [in this world] is [just] one part of 70 parts of the fire of the Blazing Hellfire.”
[A Muslim] lives with the awareness that Allāh, Almighty and Majestic, is watching Him, [keeping away from what displeases Him accordingly]; in that, is protection for him from straying to the right or to the left or having his inclinations and desires play him for a fool, he ﷺ having said: “Paradise has been surrounded on all sides by things [the soul] doesn’t like, [while] the Fire has been surrounded on all sides by things [the soul] desires [or leans to].”
So whoever yearns to be among the people of Paradise, it’s incumbent upon him to fight hard against his own soul because of this ḥadīth and whatever [else] is along [the same] meaning.
O Allāh, it’s only Your mercy that I hope for.
