The Prophet (sallallahu Allahyi wa sallam ) said "If a servant of Allah is afflicted with a misfortune and says:
‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un, Allahumma ajirni fi musibati wa akhlif li khairan minha‘
(Verily we belong to Allah and truly to Him shall we return. O Allah! Protect me in this calamity that has befallen me and replace it with something better),
Allah will accept his prayer, grant him reward for his affliction, and replace it with something better.”
[Muslim 2/632]
‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un, Allahumma ajirni fi musibati wa akhlif li khairan minha‘
(Verily we belong to Allah and truly to Him shall we return. O Allah! Protect me in this calamity that has befallen me and replace it with something better),
Allah will accept his prayer, grant him reward for his affliction, and replace it with something better.”
[Muslim 2/632]

"Allah is displeased when you stop asking Him and mankind is displeased when asked."

Think Before You Speak
Al-Imaam ash-Shafi’ee rahimahullaah:
"When a person intends to speak, then upon him is to think before he speaks. Then if it is evident that there is some benefit then he may speak. However, if there is doubt then do not speak, until it becomes clear (about whether it is beneficial or not)"

Indeed the question has increased regarding what has been reported in cellphone messages (i.e. text messages) of admonitions that contain various types of Thikr (words of remembrance of Allaah) done in different methods, and in a number of specific ways, and at specified times. These messages also contain an encouragement to others to read them, and distribute them among friends and companions. The messages also mention that they should be distributed to such-and-such number of people from one’s companions, and whoever does so will attain an abundance of great rewards and goodness in this life and the hereafter, and whoever does not distribute them will have a tremendous sin upon him, and punishment in this life and the hereafter. So from this there has spread a superstitious dream of the Shaikh Ahmad, the carrier of the keys to the room of the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).
And in facing this it is obligatory that we alert the people that receiving these messages, and acting according to them, and distributing them, and circulating them; all of that is from the matter of spreading falsehood, and distributing superstitions, and cooperating with the people of superstitions and the liars. Therefore, it is incumbent upon everyone who these messages reach to reject them ( i.e. recognize them as lies) and warn against them, and warn against their writers – those who are behind them. For verily they are enemies of the Sunnah, and enemies of the Ummah (the Muslim nation). And though they may hide behind the cellphones, they are never hidden from Allaah, the Most High.

Thereafter (after starting with the Salaam) he may says; ‘Good morning’, ‘may Allâh give you a good morning’, ‘may Allâh give you a good evening’, ‘how are you’, ‘how are your children’, ‘how is your family’, (this is) a good added greeting. However he starts by saying; ‘Assalâmu alaykum and that is the minimum. And if he added ‘wa rahmatu Allâh wa barakâtuh’ then that is better.

ke connoscripted soldiers; those whom they recognize, they get along with, and those whom they do not recognize, they will not get along with.” The original version of this hadeeth is in al-Saheeh.
If you look at creation, you will hardly find any two people who love one another except that there is some similarity between them or they have something in common with regard to deeds, characteristics or goals. If the goals, characteristics, deeds or ways differ, there can only be aversion and distance between their hearts. It is sufficient to note the saheeh hadeeth from the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him):
“The believers, in their mutual mercy, love and compassion, are like a (single) body; if one part of it feels pain, the rest of the body will join it in staying awake and suffering fever.”
[Rawdat al-Muhibbin wa-Nuzhat al-Mustaqin by Ibn al Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, 66-74]

EMBARKING UPON WHAT HAS BEEN FORBIDDEN -IBN AL-QAYYIM!
The slave does not embark upon what he has been forbidden except through two ways;
Firstly: (Either) harbouring evil thoughts about his Lord that if he were to obey Allaah and preferred Him, He (Glorified Be He) will not grant him that which is better from the lawful (things).
Secondly: (Or) his acknowledgement that (Allaah will grant him something better than the forbidden thing he pursues) and that whoever leaves something for Allaah’s sake, He (Glorified Be He) will replace it with something better; but lusts overcomes his patience and desires (overcomes) his intellect.
The first affair is due to weakness in knowledge and the second a weakness in intellect and insight.

Sharing good doesn't make us righteous/pious
Sharing fawaaid doesn't mean we are studious (study all the time like students of knowledge)
Sharing (pics) of books doesn't mean we own a library full of books of 'ulama
Sharing something that seems a lot or expensive doesn't mean we are rich
Don't over-think, what is apparent is what it really is. Nothing more, nothing less.

Evil Eye Jinn/Human on Social Media:
It’s common that every time something happens in our lives we take a picture and put it up on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. “Watch out and be careful." People are suffering and struggling. Why ? The Evil Eye is the truth. You are inviting people to have the Evil Eye on you.”
'Look at my beautiful face', My Make up',
‘Look what I ate’, ‘Look at what I bought’, ‘Look I spent my time doing etc.
At every meal time some people post a picture or change their profile picture. Every day there’s a new picture of what they are wearing and how they look. Everywhere they go, they share it with the world on social media. In Surah Yusuf twice there is a lesson for us to learn.
Allah says:
“And he said, ‘Oh my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates.” (Surah Yusuf, 67).
The first was when the brothers were entering the particular palace or ministry in order to get their food, the father tells them to enter separately and one of the reasons mentioned in the books of Tafsir is so that the people’s eye does not catch them all and affect them.
“He said, ‘Oh my son do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan.”
(Surah Yusuf, 5).
Here as well the father says, ‘do not relate this dream to your brothers.”
It is important to think before we upload pictures of ourselves, our children, the food we eat, the places we visit or the things we buy. This is not a suggestion to divorce oneself completely from technology but to use it responsibly. “Make the best use of it but do not use it to destroy your own self.”
Sometimes social media users post dozens of pictures of marriages, spouses, children, car etc or something that another is wishing for and working towards their whole life and they have gained it with so much ease. “This is not so easily digested by some. There will come a time in their life when they start feeling something towards you.”
“Imagine if we were to put up pictures and profiles about the bad things that happen in our lives all the time ? We would be living in gloom and doom.” The nature of man is such that he wants a good picture and image of himself to be seen. Portraying this image does not need to extend into revealing the finer details of your life. Leave that between you and your loved ones and those who shared it.
The Evil Eye, Ayn-al-hasad in Arabic, refers to the gaze of one person on another which may cause affliction or ill happen. These gazes are associated with Envy, jealousy or even extreme admiration. Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullaah) said, “Everyone who gives the Evil Eye is jealous, but not everyone who is jealous gives the Evil Eye…” Then he said, “It begins when the person likes something, then his evil soul dwells on the matter, and by continually looking at the person who has the thing of which he feels jealous, he directs his venom towards him.”The gaze can be intentional or unintentional.
“And verily, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes…” [Surah Al-Qalam, verse 51]
Ibn Abbas (radiallahu anhu) and others have said: ‘would make you slip‘, in order to have some (bad) effect on you. “With eyes” means ‘they will affect you by looking at you with their eyes’.
Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, “The Evil Eye is real.” [Hadith 3879, Book of Medicines, Sunan Abu Dawud, Vol. 4].
The Evil Eye - Ayn-al-hasad can be afflicted by the Jinn also which could result in devestating problems illnesses or even jinn possession by the jinn taking a liking or falling in love.
The eye of the jinn; this originates from the jinn and the evidence for this is the narration of;
Umm Salma رضي الله عنها says that the Prophet ﷺ saw in our house a slave girl and on her face a discoloration - As-sa-faa'ah. Upon which the the prophet ﷺ said " Seek Ruqyah for her, for verily she is afflicted with a look (An Nathara) Evil Eye from the Jinn.” (Al-Bukhari, 5739)
Although it is correct that the Evil Eye comes from people who feel jealous,
It’s common that every time something happens in our lives we take a picture and put it up on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. “Watch out and be careful." People are suffering and struggling. Why ? The Evil Eye is the truth. You are inviting people to have the Evil Eye on you.”

Although it is correct that the Evil Eye comes from people who feel jealous,
it may also come from a person who is not jealous but has an inclination to something. “Whoever among you sees something in himself or in his possessions or in his brother that he likes, let him pray for blessing for it, because the Evil Eye is real.” [Narrated by Ibn al-Sunni in ‘Aml al-Yawm wa’l-Laylah]
While it is essential to always be mindful of one’s gaze, it is also important not to feed others gazes. A person may harm himself or his wealth – and no one feels jealous of himself – but he may harm himself with the Evil Eye by admiring himself.
