Imam Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
"If Allah سبحانه وتعالى had forgiven the one who had quenched the thirst of a very thirsty dog, so what would be the case for he who quenches the thirst, feeds the hungry, and clothes the unclothed from among the Muslims?"
['Udat as-Saabireen 1/216]

Two times where Ibrahim's (alaihi salam) iman and tawakkul was greatly tested in regards to his wife and family are,
(1) when he had to leave his wife [Sarah] to a tyrant, and (2) when he had to leave his wife and child [Hajar and Ismael] in a barren land to Allah's Care.
He was greatly blessed to have wives who had loyalty to him. And he was blessed that Allah took care of them in situations where are man's heart would be most deeply troubled.
The #Loyalty of good wives and #Tawakkul in Allah are very heavy things in this life.

As you grow older, you begin to realise that the purpose of life is not to become rich with a big home and big car. The purpose of life is spending time with people that are close to your heart, being content with whatever you have and preparing yourself for the hereafter.

📚 _[Bustan al-Wa’ithin 193]_
Be good manners with your family first.
“Indeed those of the people who have the highest status in goodness and are the most rightful in being characterised with the truth are those who are the best of the people to their wives.
Indeed the wife and family are those who have the most right to joy and happiness, deserving of good manners and kindness, and bringing them benefit and repelling harm from them.
When a man is like this then he is the best of the people and if he is the opposite of that, then he is at the other extreme of evil.
There are many of the people who fall into this dilemma, so you see a man who when he meets his family he is the worst of the people in manners, the most miserly person and the least of the people with goodness.
When he meets other than his family, non-relatives he becomes soft and timid, has delightful manners, and improves himself, and his goodness increases.
There is no doubt that the person who is like this then he is prohibited from success, has deviated away from the correct path. We ask Allaah for security.”

Like The Body
On the authority of An-Nu’maan Bin Basheer in a narration ascribed to the Prophet [ﷺ]:
❝The example of the believers in their affection, mercy and compassion for each other is like the body: if a limb of it complains due to an illness, it affects the rest of the body with sleeplessness and fever.❞

THE STARS HAVE NOT CONTROL OVER ANYTHING
Imaam Barbahaaree rahimahullaah said:
Look into the stars sparingly, just enough to help you to know the times of the prayer. And turn away from whatever besides that, since it invites to apostasy
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in the Fajr prayer at Hudaibiya after a rainy night. On completion of the prayer, he faced the people and said,
“Do you know what your Lord has said (revealed)?” The people replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “Allah has said,
‘In this morning some of my slaves remained as true believers and some became non-believers; whoever said that the rain was due to the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he disbelieves in the stars, and whoever said that it rained because of a particular star had no belief in Me but believes in that star.’ “
[Al-Bukhari] [Muhsin Khan’s Translation]
Qatadah (radi Allaahu anhu) said,
“These stars were only created for three purposes: Allah created them as adornment for the heaven (sky), as missiles for the devils and as signs for navigation. Therefore, whoever seeks to interpret any other meanings for them other than these, then verily he has spoken with his own opinion, he has lost his portion and burdened himself with that which he has no knowledge of.”
Ibn Jarir and Ibn Abi Hatim both recorded this statement.

#Police_brutality_is_a_sign_of_the_Hour
Shaykh Muhammad b.Saalih Uthaymeen (d.1421H/2001) commented on this Hadith saying,
“[These are] the oppressive police officers who beat the people without justification. They are from the dwellers of Hell because whoever aids an oppressor shall receive a portion of their sin that he deserves.
Abu Huraira reported:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: “If you survive for a time you would certainly see people who would have whips in their hands like the tail of an ox. They would go out in the morning under the wrath of Allah and they would return in the evening with the anger of Allah.”

Making Dua for each other removes hatred, envy and jealousy we might have in our hearts towards each other.
It’s a good Islamic and moral practice, if you feel jealous of someone (even from your own family members) and you don’t know how to control it, make Dua for that very same person behind their back. It helps a lot!!!
