How many of us would say this?
Abu al-Dardā (radiallāhu anhu) said:
ثلاثة أحبهن ويكرههن الناس الفقر والمرض والموت أحب الفقر تواضعا لربي والموت اشتياقا لربي والمرض تكفيرا لخطيئتي
"Three things I love but the people hate: Poverty, illness and death. I love poverty out of humility to my Lord, and death out of fondness (of meeting) my Lord, and illness as expiation for my sin"
Al-Siyar of al-Dhahabi (2/349)
How many of us have the courage to genuinely say this and mean it?

Ibnul Akwaa said to Rabee Bin Khuthaym:
"Direct me to one who is better than you"; he said: "The one whose speech is a reminder for himself; his silence is [so that he can] think & his destination [in the aakhirah is a reason] for reflection."
[Siyah A’laam An-Nubulaa: 4/261]

*(LOG KYA KAHENGE, ?) /What's the society will say?*
Muaawiyah رضي الله عنه wrote to the mother of the believers, Aaishah رضي الله عنها, asking her to write to him some advice but not making it lengthy. So, `Aaishah رضي الله عنها wrote:
“Assalaamu Alaik. To proceed… I heard the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying,
*❝Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allaah while the people are displeased; then Allaah will protect him from the troubles caused by the people. And whosoever seeks the pleasure of the people while displeasing Allaah; then Allaah will leave his matter for the people (i.e. Allaah will not protect him from the harms of the people)❞*
Wassalaamu Alaik.”

It is reported that Abūl-‘Āliyah (Rahimahu'Allah) said:
❝There will come upon the people a time when their hearts will be derelict of the Qur’ān: they will find neither sweetness nor pleasure by it.
If they fall short of doing what they have been commanded to do, they will say:
Allāh is most forgiving, merciful [He will forgive us], and if they do what they have been forbidden from doing, they will say:
we will be forgiven, we haven’t committed any shirk with Allāh. Their affairs will all be based on [false] hope, having no truth and sincerity with it.
They will wear the skins of lambs over hearts of wolves. The best of them in his religion will be someone who compromises. ❞

The wise person does not belittle anybody, for whoever belittles the leader ruins his life; whoever belittles the pious destroys their faith; whoever belittles their brothers ruins their reputation; and whoever belittles the layman removes their protection.

He Has Blessed You
If a calamity befalls you, look towards Allāh's favor upon you. If Allāh tests you with a sickness in your body, then surely, despite your illness, He has blessed you in your body in many other ways. Thus, the One who tested you is the One who has also favored you with countless blessings. This will assist the Muslim in being patient with calamities that befall him. If a calamity befalls him and he is patient, he will attain a tremendous position.

The meaning of “Tabaarak Allaah” and “mubaarak” – Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan Hafidahullah
“Tabaarak Allaah”: means: tremendously great is the One whose actions are these, He the Perfect and Most High. And whose Ability is such and these are the things which He has created, He the Exalted and Most High.
And, “Tabaarak”: is a verb which is used specifically for Him, He the Perfect, so it cannot be applied to anyone besides Him. And al-Barakah (blessing) it means abundance of good and its increase, and the blessings which come from Allaah the Majestic and Most High do not end. As for a created being, it cannot be said about him, “tabaarak”. Rather it can be said to him, “mubaarak” meaning, “May you receive blessing”, meaning may Allaah put blessing into him and make him blessed. And all blessing is from Allaah the Perfect and Most High.

WHOEVER IS FOCUSED ON THE HEREAFTER..
"Whoever is focused on the Hereafter" - meaning, he attaches his heart to his Lord - "Allāh will settle his affairs for him." Thus, his heart will be at ease. He will not run around this world, right and left. Some of the righteous people have said,
"Perhaps a rich person will not be able to sleep, while perhaps a poor person will fall asleep before he reaches his bed."
This affair returns to the affair of the heart.

🍃 YOU WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE O PARENTS AND TEACHERS
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
“O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from the Hellfire.” [Sūrah al-Taḥrīm 66:6]
Mothers, fathers, teachers, and the society as a whole, will all be accountable in front of Allāh about the tarbiyyah (education and upbringing) of this generation. If its tarbiyah is good, then there will be happiness - both in this world and the Hereafter. If it is not, then there will be misery, and it will be a rope around your necks - since there occurs in the ḥadīth: “Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you will be questioned about those who you are responsible for.” [1]
But - O teachers - rejoice in the saying of the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), who said: “By Allāh! That Allāh guides through you even a single person, is better for you than the most precious of camels.” [2] And - O parents - rejoice in the authentic ḥadīth: “When a person dies, his actions are terminated except for three; a recurring charity, or knowledge that he leaves which is benefited from, or a pious offspring who supplicates for him.” [3]
So you must first of all reform yourselves, since good results from the good that you do, and bad results from the bad that you do. So good conduct from teachers and parents in front of the children is the best form of education and upbringing for them.” [4]

Bad Character Inside the House
Character is exposed in the home with the family. You find out who really has good manners and who doesn't. We have said this many times before. Some of us perfect our character when we leave the home; even if someone harms another, you will find him smiling, saying, "JazākAllāhu khayran (may Allāh reward you with good), may Allāh pardon you!" But when he enters his home, he changes completely. When he enters the home, he becomes someone who curses, insults, slanders and beats. He becomes angry for the slightest reason (with family members). He beats (misbehaves with) his family for the slightest reason. He knows no limits. In reality, he needs to examine himself, because good manners are manners the person can adorn himself with throughout different situations.
