Don't be Sad - La Tahzan:
If you are stricken by poverty...others are chained in debt.
If you don't have shoes ... others have no feet.
If you have committed a mistake...correct it - the doors of repentance ever open!
The fountain of forgiveness is ever rich
So dont be sad, let all bygones be bygones.
What is predestined for you, you shall see it happen.
Being sad will not change anything
So dont be sad
Sadness spoils your life
So dont be sad.
Supplication is your shield
Prayer is your beacon
So dont be sad
Prostrration is your means ...
So dont be sad.
See how vast is the Earth, How nice are the gardens and forests
How bright are the stars - all are happy but you are sad...
So dont be sad.
You have sweet water to drink - fresh air to breather - feet to walk with
You sleep safely in your bed
So dont be sad.
Every cloud has a silver lining
After long nights come the bright sun
Life will soon give you a smile
So be ready to get it
And dont be sad!
Real life is that spent in happiness
So cross out your sad days from your age! Peace of mind is the real treasure.
Abu Hurayra reported Allaah's Messenger (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: "Look at those who are inferior to you and do not look at those who are superior to you, for that is more likely to keep you from despising Allaah's favour on you"
Shaikh A'id al Qarni gave us the above advice in his book La Tahzan (Don't be sad).

Stay Humble, Stay Grounded.
"Understand that life has occassions. One time it is poverty, and another time it is wealth. Once it is honour, and another it is humiliation. Happy is he who remains grounded in each situation."
Ibn al-Jawzi (rahimahullah) [Sayd al-Khatir [p282]

Ibn al-Qayyim: Ginger is Beneficial for Digestion, Eyesight and Nausea Among Other Benefits.
Ginger (zanjabil) is described by the great scholar Ibn al Qayyim in his book "The Prophetic Medicine" as a mild cleanser with some of the following benefits on the body:
1) Warming and aids digestion;
2) Beneficial for obstructions of the liver;
3) Beneficial for blurred eyesight, such as that caused by glaucoma, when eaten or used as kohl;
4) Drinking a warm solution of ginger mixed with sugar and water could reduce blood clots from forming;
5) Can be used to treat nausea;
6) Freshens the breath;
7) increases the power of memory
Ginger is mentioned in the Qur'an as one of the delights for its inhabitants: "And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with ginger." [76:17]
What is ginger?
Although ginger is often referred to as a root, it is actually a reed-like herb that has rough, knotty rhizomes (underground stems).
Ginger is a rich source of powerful antioxidants such as gingerols, shogaols and zingerones. It also has blood-thinning qualities.
Some of the many health benefits of ginger include:
Osteoarthritis: one study found that taking extract of ginger helped to reduce knee pain in osteoarthritis patients.
Morning sickness: several studies have shown that eating ginger extract during the first trimester of pregnancy can significantly reduce the nausea and vomiting caused by morning sickness.
Motion sickness: two studies have demonstrated the effects of ginger on preventing and treating motion sickness.
Cancer: The antioxidant that gives ginger its flavor, 6-gingerol, was found to decrease tumor size and produce fewer tumors in mice. Ginger also induced apoptosis (programmed cell death) and autophagy (cells digesting themselves) in ovarian cancer cells. It was effective in controlling inflammation, thus stopping cancer cells from growing.
Tips on Using Ginger:
1) Ginger is available in fresh, pickled, dried or powdered form. Fresh ginger should be stored at room temperature.
2) The centre of the ginger stem in more fibrous and contains the stronger flavors.
3) Ginger can be used to spice up any dish, to make a marinade, or to flavor fresh juices or teas.

Allāh Raises Those Who Rectify Their Hidden Affairs
Ibn Al-Jawzi (rahimahullah) said:
By Allāh, I have seen one who is abundant in praying, fasting much, often staying silent, [one who] shows humility in himself and in his dress. Yet, the hearts [of people] turn away from him, and his status amongst them is not all that!
And I have seen one who attires himself in luxurious clothes, does not have a lot of voluntary acts [of worship], nor does he make a show of humility, yet the hearts go one after the other in feeling love for him. So I reflected on the cause [of this], and then I realised it was what people keep hidden from others [that Allāh knows].

DO NOT ABANDON FORBIDDING EVIL
It is narrated that: Al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī رحمه الله said to Mutarraf b. ʿAbd Allāh:
"Admonish your companions."
So he replied: "I fear I will say that which I do not do."
al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī رحمه الله said:
"May Allāh have mercy on you! Who from amongst us does (everything) that they say? The shayṭān aspires to attain the like of this (self-deprecating attitude) so that no one enjoins the good and forbids the evil."

Work for your Hereafter and Allāh will suffice your affairs in this world. Sell your worldly life for your Hereafter and you will profit in them both together, and do not sell your Hereafter for your worldly life or you will lose them both together.”

‘Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) wrote in a letter to Abū Mūsā al-Ash’āri (رضي الله عنه) saying,
“Be content with your provision in this world, for the Most Merciful has honored some of His servants over others in terms of provision as a test of both. The one who has been given plenty is being tested to see if he will give thanks to Allāh and fulfill the duties which are his by virtue of his wealth (i.e. charity).”

The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“Three things cause destruction and three things lead to salvation.
The three things that cause destruction are :
1. desires that are followed,
2. greediness that is obeyed,
3. and a person’s self-admiration and conceit; this conceit is the worst of the three.
The three things that lead to salvation are :
1. fear of Allaah secretly and publicly,
2. moderation when rich or when poor,
3. and justice when angry or pleased. ”

Towards the end of his explanation of the story of the people of the cave in surah al-Kahf [18], sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di wrote:
[وفي هذه القصة، دليل على أن من فر بدينه من الفتن، سلمه الله منها. وأن من حرص على العافية عافاه الله ومن أوى إلى الله، آواه الله، وجعله هداية لغيره، ومن تحمل الذل في سبيله وابتغاء مرضاته، كان آخر أمره وعاقبته العز العظيم من حيث لا يحتسب { وما عند الله خير للأبرار }]
This story indicates that:
-whoever flees turmoil for the sake of his religion, Allah will save him from it
-whoever strives for deliverance from harm, Allah will deliver him from harm
-whoever seeks refuge with Allah, Allah will give him refuge and make him a source of guidance for others
-whoever bears humiliation in serving Allah and seeking His pleasure, then his final state and end result will be tremendous honor from where he did not even imagine
[وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِّلْأَبْرَارِ]

HADITH ON FATHERS

We all know that paradise is under the mother’s feet but what about our fathers?
Abu Darda' radi Allahu anhu heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say that: "The father is the middle door of Paradise (i.e. the best way to Paradise), so it is up to you whether you take advantage of it or not."
(Sunan Ibn Majah 3663, Book 33, Hadith 7)
Honour your parents, look after them and don’t neglect one while serving another. They have cared for you, loved you and prayed for you. You are the answer to their Duas and a blessing in their life. Appreciate them and take care of your mother and father, for Paradise lies at the feet of your mother and your father is the door to it. Respect their wishes, seek their pleasure and gain their Duas while you can.

WHATEVER EVIL BEFALLS YOU, IS FROM YOURSELF
The good things that brings happiness, with which a slave may be tested, come from the obedience that the slave performs, and the evil thing that bring dislike and despair, with which a slave may also be tested, come from disobedience performed by the slave, as Allāh the Most High, said:
{ مَّآ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَصَابَكَ مِن سَيِّئَةٍ فَمِن نَّفْسِكَ وَأَرْسَلْنَٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُولًا وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًا }
Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allāh, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself. And We have sent you (O Muhammad ﷺ) as a Messenger to mankind, and Allāh is sufficient as a witness.*

There is nothing Allah's not capable of giving you. Don't ever doubt Allah's concern for your pain and sadness. Don't ever think Allah is turning a blind eye to your worries and distress.
Allah is working behind the scenes, a plot for a better future is unfolding by the rehma and love that Allah has for His believing slaves. It may not be visible, it may not make sense right now.
YOUR HARDSHIP AND TRAILS AREN'T TRIVIAL INFRONT OF ALLAH SWT.
Remember he cares for you 70 times more than your mother. Allah is with you always, please don't ever be uncertain about that.
Allah will give you glad tidings and Allah will reunite you with your loved ones if not in this duniya then in akhira in Jannatul firdous al alaa.
❝Get yourself out of this limited world of diseases to the wide world of the hereafter, which has what the eyes have never seen. Nothing is impossible there, and love is not lost.❞
- Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah رحمه الله
Learn to accept the decree of Allah and learn to go easy on your soul and heart. Let events flow in their predestined path, And do not sleep except with a clear mind, between the period of the blinking of the eye and its opening, Allah changes things from one state to another.
Do not sleep except with a clear mind, a grateful and content heart.
❝No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah's decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours destiny, from you it cannot flee.❞
- Umar رضي الله عنه
I pray whoever is suffering reads this and finds a ray of rekindled hope in the mercy of Allah, in the qadr of Allah and in the path they are journeying on.
🤲 May Allah heal you and may Allah be Al Hafiz - The Guardian and Al Wali - The Protecting Friend over your affairs. And we all know there is no better friend than ALLAH.
Allahumma ameen.
❝You must be patient. Even if the pains of waiting and wishing and praying tire you, be patient. Even when long periods of time pass by and others are blessed with what they’ve been praying for while you still wait, be patient. For Allah does not waste the effort of the doers of good. He delays His response only to hear you call to Him more. Be patient. For what awaits you is sweeter than the bitterness of longing.❞

"Why doesn’t my prayer prevent me from committing evil?"
A questioner asked Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-’Uthaymeen (May Allah have mercy on him),
"Why doesn’t my prayer prevent me from committing evil?"
The Shaykh (Raḥimahullāh) replied;
My advice to you is to repent to Allah, azzawajal, and be sincere in turning back towards Him. You should be mindful of the greatness of the One you are disobeying and be mindful of His punishment for those who oppose His Command. You should remember the statement of Allah,
نَبِّئۡ عِبَادِىٓ أَنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
“Inform unto My slaves, that truly, I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful.”
وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ٱلۡأَلِيمُ
“And that My Torment is indeed the most painful torment.” [al-Hijr: 49-50]
Therefore, seek Allah’s forgiveness and mercy and at the same time become fearful of His punishment. As for your prayer not preventing you from performing evil deeds, then perhaps it is due to it containing deficiencies within. That is because the prayer that prevents one from committing lewdness and evil deeds is the prayer that is complete. It is the prayer that is in accordance to what the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) came with, prayer that is performed with an attentive present heart, and a prayer that is performed upon the Sunnah.
It is not any and every prayer that prevents one from lewdness and evil deeds, rather it is only the established prayer that is performed its required manner. Allah said,
إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِ
“…Indeed, the prayer prevents al-Fahshaa (lewdness, great sins of every kind, illegal sexual relations) and al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and every evil deed)…” [al-‘Ankabut: 45]
And this is referring to the prayer that is established in the correct manner.

It is not any and every prayer that prevents one from lewdness and evil deeds, rather it is only the established prayer that is performed its required manner. Allah said,
إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِ
“…Indeed, the prayer prevents al-Fahshaa (lewdness, great sins of every kind, illegal sexual relations) and al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and every evil deed)…” [al-‘Ankabut: 45]
And this is referring to the prayer that is established in the correct manner.

*لا تتحسّر على الماضي*
🌟 *Do not grieve over the Past*
Translated
By
Abbas Abu Yahya
💎 Shaykh AbduRahmaan as-Sa'adi said:
'Do not grieve over past matters which have not been destined, from ill health, or loss of wealth or a worldly matter, etc.
Your concern should be with rectification of actions on the day.
Since a person is living in the moment. He should not be saddened for what has passed. Also he should not research into the future where that research would not be of any benefit.
It is upon you to be truthful, fulfill your contracts, keep to one's promises and justice in all dealings.
Fulfilling rights completely and perfectly with a tranquil soul and with truthful pure Eemaan.
Busy yourself with your own mistakes and your matters, rather than the mistakes of the people and their matters.
Deal with everyone according to their situation and condition, whether he is a senior, or youngster, male or female, a leader or a follower.
Be gentle and merciful to everyone even animals and livestock, since indeed Allaah is merciful to his merciful worshippers.
Be balanced in all your matters, and open up your mind to every religious and worldly benefit.'
📚 [Majmoo Mualifaat as-Saadi 21/258]
*لا تتحسّر على الماضي*
قال الشيخ عبدالرحمن بن سعدي رحمه الله:
(وإياك والتحسر على الأمور الماضية التي لم تُقَدَّر لك من فقد صحة أو مال أو عمل دنيوي ونحوها، وليكن همك في إصلاح عمل يومك ؛ فإن الإنسان ابن يومه لا يحزن لما مضى ولا يتطلع للمستقبل حيث لا ينفعه التطلع،
وعليك بالصدق والوفاء بالعهد ، والوعد والإنصاف في المعاملات كلها، وأداء الحقوق كاملة موفرة بنفس مطمئنة وإيمان صادق خالص ، واشتغل بعيوبك وشؤونك عن عيوب الناس وشؤونهم ، وعامل كل أحد بحسب ما يليق بحاله من كبير وصغير وذكر وأنثى ورئيس ومرؤوس ، وكن رقيقًا رحيمًا لكل أحد حتى للحيوان البهيم فإنما يرحم الله من عباده الرحماء ، وكن مقتصدًا في أمورك كلها ، وافتح ذهنك لكل فائدة دينية أو دنيوية "

First, it suffices that the ant is mentioned in the Qur’an, and an entire surah is named after it (Surat An-Naml).
The Prophet ( ﷺ) forbids killing 4 kinds of animals: ants, bees, Hudhud( birds), and Suradi( hawk like sparrow).”
(Hadith Ahmad 3066, Abu Daud 5267 and were validated by Syuaib al-Arnauth)
For us Muslims AlhmdulilAllah the hadiths is enough and its the command of Allah and his prophet ﷺbut
Let's go on a scientific tour with this living creature..
𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗵:
Many people are bitten by an ant here and there.. but they immediately kill the aggressor ant. And here comes the error..
it is forbidden to kill an ant, no matter how small it is, as it is a living creature. But why don't we give our heartfelt thanks to the ant when it gnaws at us, especially since its benefits are many.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀:
🐜1- An ant’s pinch leads to stimulating blood circulation and increasing the number of red blood cells, which is reflected on the body’s activity and vitality.
🐜2- An ant’s pinch activates the neurons in the brain through sensory signals that are transmitted from the place of the pinch to the sensory cells at the bottom of the brain
🐜3- the human body when it is exposed to more than a pinch in the same place at the same time special will be exposed to cirrhosis of the skin,
👉intended cirrhosis of the skin to the skin becomes resistant to bacteria more, as the skin becomes more tolerant to high temperatures,
👉and in the case of the body for many suffered from pinches in different places in the body will coagulate the blood, and
Intended to blood clotting: is the layer of blood be somewhat of blood Adamma gives the ability of the blood vessels more resistant to poisons the hardest ... and thus help the liver and reduce the burden with him
🐜4- Pinch the ant as the best means of dieting. When the ant (the female) directs its pinch to the desired goal...
it secretes a quantity of ionic saliva, and the strange thing is that this saliva burns all the fats in the pinched organ..
For example, if the pinched organ is the arm, saliva It will gradually spread throughout the arm and thus.. it will burn 99% of the fats that are found in the arm..
سبحان اللہ Glory be to God..
🚫Muslim believes that the Prophet has forbidden to kill the ants and the hadiths is authentic and the rest
