DO NOT DISCLOSE YOUR SINS 🚫

Khushū' (humility and concentration) in Salah doesn't come easy. You have to strive hard for it continuously in every prayer. Thābit al-Banāni, a scholar from the time of the Tābi'een, رحمه الله said:

كابدت الصلاة عشرين سنة، وتنعمت بها عشرين سنة
“I pushed myself to stand up and pray for twenty years, then I found joy in it for twenty years.”

📕 Narrated by Abu Nu‘aym in Hilyat al-Awliya’, 2/320

👓The Four Eyes – Sayings of the Salaf

📝It is reported that Khâlid b. Ma’dân – Allâh have mercy on him – said:

There is not a person except he has four eyes: two in his head with which he sees the matters of this worldly life, and two in his heart with which he looks to the matters of the hereafter. So if Allâh wants good for his servant, He opens his heart’s eyes, and so he perceives what he has been promised in the unseen world. Thus he is saved from the unseen [punishment] through the unseen [reward for the obedient].

Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ` 4: 543

The Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

((… وما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله، يتلون كتاب الله، ويتدارسونه بينهم، إلا نزلت عليهم السكينة، وغشيتهم الرحمة، وحفتهم الملائكة، وذكرهم الله فيمن عنده ...))

“No people gather in a house from Allāh’s houses, to recite Allāh’s Book and study it together, except that As-Sakeenah (serenity) descends upon them, mercy envelops them, the Angels surround them, and Allāh mentions them to those that are with Him…”*

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم also said,

((خير كم من تعلم القرآن وعلمه))

“The best among you is he who learns the Qur’an and teaches it.”**

The Pious Make Good Use Of All The Time They Have

BEING KIND TO ANIMALS ✨

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"While a man was walking on a road, he became very thirsty. Then he came across a well, got down into it, drank (of its water) and then came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. The man said to himself, 'This dog is suffering from the same state of thirst as I did.' So he went down the well (again) and filled his shoe (with water) and held it in his mouth and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him."

The people asked: "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?"

He said: "(Yes) There is a reward for serving any animate (living being)."

📚: Sahih Bukhari 6009

Do you know who is the real bankrupt?

Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Do you know who is the bankrupt?” They said: “The bankrupt among us is one who has neither money with him nor any property”. He said, “The real bankrupt of my Ummah would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with Salat, Saum and Sadaqah (charity), (but he will find himself bankrupt on that day as he will have exhausted the good deeds) because he reviled others, brought calumny against others, unlawfully devoured the wealth of others, shed the blood of others and beat others; so his good deeds would be credited to the account of those (who suffered at his hand). If his good deeds fall short to clear the account, their sins would be entered in his account and he would be thrown in the (Hell) Fire”.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught this supplication to Aisha (رضي الله عنها):

« اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ »

Allahumma inni as'aluka minal-khayri kullihi 'ajilihi wa ajilihi ma 'alimtu minhu wa ma la a'lam

• Oh Allah, I ask You for all that is good, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know.

« وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ »

Wa aaodhu bika minash-sharri kullihi 'ajilihi wa ajilihi ma 'alimtu minhu wa ma la a'lam

• Oh Allah, I seek refuge with You from all evil, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know.

Allahumma inni as'aluka min khayri ma sa'alaka 'abduka wa nabiyyuka

• Oh Allah, I ask You for the good that Your slave and Prophet has asked You for

« وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَاذَ بِهِ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ »

wa aaodhu bika min sharri ma 'aaza bihi 'abduka wa nabiyyuka

• and I seek refuge with You from the evil from which Your slave and Prophet sought refuge.

Allahumma inni as'alukal-jannatah wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw 'amalin

• Oh Allah, I ask You for Paradise and for that which brings one closer to it, in word and deed

« وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ »

wa aaozu bika minan-nari wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw 'amalin

• and I seek refuge in You from Hell and from that which brings one closer to it, in word and deed.

« وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ كُلَّ قَضَاءٍ قَضَيْتَهُ لِي خَيْرًا ‏»

wa as'aluka an taj'ala kulla qada'in qadaytahuli khayran

⚡️ The Tests & Trials of
Ibrahim عليه السلام

👤 Shaikh Ahmed
an-Najmy رحمه الله تعالى

💢 Ibrahim عليه السلام was a believer in Allah upon Tawhid...

• ⛏ He broke the idols of his people so they ruled upon him that he be cast into the fire...but he remained patient, and Allah made the fire cool and safe upon him and he exited with his head raised.

• 👥 Allah tested him also through separation between him and his parents and family...but he remained patient and migrated.

• 🌾 Allah tested him initially with absence of offspring (he had no children)...but he remained patient

• ⛰ 🕋 Allah then tested him through a son he bestowed upon him, Isma'il عليه السلام, and he was commanded to leave him amongst those barren mountains...but he remained patient.

• 🔪 Eventually when all these tests had occurred and concluded, Allah then tested him by commanding him to slaughter his own son...but he remained patient.

🕯 He was successful in all these tests. As for us, Allah decrees some (minor) affairs upon us and we become upset and do not remain patient upon the test of our Lord. O' Allah make us from those who are patient upon trials, and grateful upon blessings."
الشرح الموجز الممهد ص٢٥٤

Subhaan'Allaah a very deep reminder. Take heed and share to benefit others In'Shaa'Allaah

✒ Always Ask For Goodness

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:

لا تدعوا على أنفسكم إلا بخير فإن الملائكة يؤمنون على ما تقولون

“Do not supplicate for yourself anything but GOOD (Khayr) for indeed the angels say ‘Āmeen’ to whatever you say (in Duʿā).”

● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير برقم ٧٢٦٦ ، صححه الألباني]

Dua for protection from Bad Character, evil actions and evil desires.

"When Yunus (عليه السلام) was swallowed by the whale. In its stomach, he focused on the Tawheed of Allah and it got him through.

When you are drowning in problems, focus on Tawheed of Allah and this will get you through too."

— Ustadh Abu Ibraheem Hussnayn

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
(There is none worthy of worship but You, glory is to You. Surely, I was among the wrong doers.)
