𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 Muhammadur Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم missed informing his ummah to start working for the "Restoration of the Caliphate" and just kept himself confined to keeping folks under muslim authority to stay patient with these rulers... (See Saheeh Muslim)
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝘆 Muhammadur Rasoolullah ﷺ informed us of this exact time when we will be split, divided, under evil people, yet he ﷺ did not think it was appropriate to even mention that
muslims must fasten their belts towards this "primary" goal.. aka thee PAN green earth Khilafah. Not a single mention or order by the Sharih ﷺ himself in the entire corpus of the shari'ah of such a mighty religion of haqq !!
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 the most powerful Prophet ﷺ ever to set foot on earth whose true Prophecies are unmatched till date and unparalleled even in the minutest of details like dipping the fly entirely in a cup , did NOT seem it FIT to talk about such a huge obligation on regular muslims during such an era of turmoil and depression for the ummah.
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 the Prophecies of Muhammad ﷺ all indicate that Muslims will not triumph in the end times except by swords ! And that has no closeness to the current era we are in.
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 he ﷺ even informed us in an hadeeth that there shall be a time when Muslims will be fighting one other like donkeys yet he did not even tell them to unite for a Khilafah or talk about it but he only mentioned Jihad of Asqalan (near Palestine and to protect Palestine) and how that is a strongly hand hold (الرباط) .
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 he ﷺ said that he has not left out anything that is worthy for our salvation except by mentioning it, but he did not see it fit to talk about coaxing ordinary folks about restoration of Khilafah by yapping but doing nothing.
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 the entire Qur'an wherein Allah mentions that those who do not rule by the rule of Allah is not accusing them of only Kufr but also gives out varying degrees of sin of it depending on situations (either Kufr, either Fisq or Dhulm)..
I guess muslims must have firm belief that he knew best what is more important for muslims in such times and he was the explainer of the Qur'an and he knew that muslims shouldn't be coaxed into doing things that they can't bear.
I am sure he ﷺ knew that mere payment of lip service (for coaxing others) is more closer to Nifaq (hypocrisy) because it decouples actions (A'maal) with beliefs (Eeman) while actions are the forte of the believers !
Next time anyone wants you to merely "talk about Khilafah" , tell him about the command of Rasoolullâh ﷺ to go defend the Land of Asqalan (Palestine) instead which he would never be able to do owing to the Nifaq in his heart. When it comes to actual "actions" the Munafiqs back out, when it comes to talking and raising awareness all day long, everyone is doing that.
Here is the hadeeth wherein the Prophet ﷺ actually commands us to do something tangible in times when muslims will be without proper rulers and fighting with each others like wild donkeys (يتكادمون عليه تكادم الحمر ) ie EXACTLY in our times !! He commanded us to safeguard Asqalan which these online keyboard warriors will never openly post about fearing their profiles getting vanished.
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
( أول هذا الأمر نبوة ورحمة، ثم يكون خلافة ورحمة، ثم يكون ملكا ورحمة ، ثم يكون إمارة ورحمة ، ثم يتكادمون عليه تكادم الحمر فعليكم بالجهاد، وإن أفضل جهادكم الرباط ، وإن أفضل رباطكم عسقلان )
رواه الطبراني في المعجم الكبير وهو حسن
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The first of this matter (of governance) is Prophethood and mercy, then caliphate and mercy, then kingship (Mulk) and mercy, (then governance (Imārah) and mercy), then they will bite each other for it just as zebras (wild donkeys) bite each other..."
Narrated in at-Ṭabarānī’s Al-Mu‘jam al-Kabīr and authenticated by al-Haythamī and al-Albānī

Don't forget "Sa'at-ul Istijabah" (a time when du'a is answered) today.
All you have to do is make dua before Maghrib!
Note:
It's NOT 'Salat' (prayer), it's Sa'at (time) of istijabah (response).
Jâbir (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet Sall Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
“Friday is comprised of twelve hours. There is one in which a Muslim who asks Allah for something will have it granted to him. Seek it in the last hour after `Asr.”
[Sunan Abî Dâwûd (1048),
Sunan al-Nasâ’î (1390)
and
Mustadrak al-Hâkim(1032)]

There is so much wisdom in this hadith of Aishah (ra). This is the Quranic methodology of creating a lasting change in someone. It shows us why Quran was gradually revealed and it teaches us why certain verses were revealed in the Makkan period and other verses in the Madani period.
📚 Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said,
❝Verily, the first verses to be revealed were from the shorter chapters at the end of the Quran.
In them is mentioned Paradise and Hellfire, until people were firmly established upon Islam and verses of lawful and unlawful were revealed.
If the first verse to be revealed was ‘do not drink wine,’ they would have said, ‘we will never stop drinking wine.’
And if the first verse to be revealed was ‘do not commit adultery,’ they would have said, ‘we will never stop committing adultery.'❞
[Bukhari]
Next time you personally advice someone always analysize what the state of their heart and eeman is. Well we cannot truly do that but what I mean is don't advice someone struggling to offer one salaah to stand the entire night in prayer. Don't overwhelm people with advice no matter how well meaning.
Gauge their temperament, their sincerity and their seriousness for the deen. And if you cannot do that guide them to someone more righteous. It's better to say "I don't know" instead of giving advice for the sake of giving it and harming someone.
The denoscriptions of Paradise and Hellfire in the Qur'an and Sunnah should increase our resolve to perform good deeds to be rewarded in the Hereafter. When that is established other commandments of halal and haraam will easily flow without resistance. In fact, it is a major sin to despair of the mercy of Allah.
Soften their heart with glad tidings of paradise and build fear with reminders of the reality of hellfire.
Balance hope and fear so the emaan stays afloat.
📖 ❝Say: O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Verily, Allah forgives all sins. Verily, it is He Who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.❞
{Surah Az-Zumar 39: Verse 53}
Therefore, we should have a healthy balance of fear and hope in our worship of Allah (ﷻ). The idea of balance in worship is expressed eloquently in Ibn Al-Qayyaim’s metaphor of the bird on its journey to Allah.
🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
❝The heart on its journey towards Allah (ﷻ) is like that of a bird. Love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings. When the head is healthy, then the two wings will fly well. When the head is cut off, the bird will die. When either of two wings is damaged, the bird becomes vulnerable to every hunter and predator.❞
(Madarij As-Salikeen)
🤲🏻 May Allah (ﷻ) protect us from hearts that are not fearful and hearts that despair. May Allah make us a means of guiding many with hikmah and let us meet people who are sincere, open to change and submission when they learn the truth - Allahumma ameen!

❝A calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you than a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah.❞
- Ibn Taymiyyah رَحِمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ
A life where you have to call out to Allah, ask Allah for help and need Allah for your every affair is better than a life where you get everything without ever calling out to Allah.
Your hardship has made you shed tears infront of Allah.
Your burden has increased the number of prostrations you make.
Your mountains of grief has increased the amount of charity you give and the number of people you help.
Your loneliness has attached your heart to Quran like never before.
Your aching heart now finds solace in listening to the seerah of Prophet ﷺ.
Your emptiness craves the moisture of dhikr on your tongue.
And in doing so your burden was replaced by sweetness of eeman.
The darkness of your duniya is now the light you will see in akhira.

A Lion, Wolf & Fox went out to hunt together and they captured a Buffalo, a Deer & a Rabbit.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved people to Allah (swt) are those who help and benefit others the most, and the most beloved actions to Allah (swt), is pleasure and happiness that you cause to enter the heart of a Muslim, or to solve one of his problems, or to pay off his debt, or to prevent him from being hungry, and working to help my Muslim brother is more beloved to me than making I’tikaf in this masjid for a month, and whoever controls his anger, Allah will conceal his faults, and whoever controls his ill feelings, Allah (swt) will fill his heart with contentment on the day of Judgment, and whoever strives to help fulfill a need for his Muslim brother, Allah will make his feet steadfast on the day of Judgment, and bad manners ruin good deeds just like vinegar ruins honey." (Sheikh Al-Albani said it is a sound hadith)
“Cry only in front of Allah, not in front of anyone. Because only Allah can Help you while others will just pity you.”
❝When the poor and needy come to you, know that your Lord has honored you beyond measure.❞
- Uthmān ibn Affān رضي الله عنه
Aisha رضي الله عنها donated nearly 80,000 dinar when she had nearly 100 patches in her skirt. She used to add musk to the money she used to donate and when asked why she replied "This money falls into Allah's hand before it falls into the hand of the beggar".
SubhanAllah!
Somehow no matter how rich we are, we are getting stuck with "even a date is a charity" as example than like the ones where sahaba donated their entire FARMS OF DATE TREES, entire wealth, half of their wealth.
"And every soul will be fully compensated [for] what it did; and He is most knowing of what they do."
{Surat Az-Zumar 39: Verse 70}
"....And they ask you what they should spend.
Say, "The excess [beyond needs]."
Thus Allah makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought.''
{Surah Al Baqarah 2 : Verse 219}
Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim رَحِمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ said :
Shaykh Ul Islam (Ibn Taymiyyah رَحِمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ ) used to race towards the fulfilling of people's needs very earnestly, because he knew that everytime he helped someone else, Allah would help him.
[Raudhatul Muhibbeen, 1/168]
True charity, is when we give to others, what we would like to keep for ourselves.
🤲 May Allah make us generous, make us those who feel deeply for those in need and protect us from being stingy and those who fear poverty due to charity - Allahumma ameen!

Narrated by al-Bara’ ibn ‘Aazib (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“Verily, when the believing slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, there come down to him angels from heaven with white faces, as if their faces are the sun. They bring with them one of the shrouds of Paradise and some of the perfume of Paradise. They sit with him as far as the eye can see.
Then the Angel of Death comes to him and sits by his head and says, ‘O pure soul, come out to the forgiveness and pleasure of Allah.’ Then his soul comes flowers ing out like a drop of water flowing from a cup.
Then he takes the soul, and no sooner does he seize it but they take it and place it in that shroud and perfume. Then out of it comes the most excellent fragrance of musk to be found on the face of the earth.
Then they ascend with it and they do not pass by any group of angels but the angels ask, ‘Who is this pure soul?’ and they reply, ‘It is So and so the son of So and so’ – using the best names by which he was known on earth. Then they bring it to the lowest heaven, and ask for it to be opened, and it is opened for him. Those who are of high rank in each heaven accompany it until they approach the next heaven, and so it goes until it reaches the seventh heaven.
Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says: ‘Record the book of My slave in ‘Illiyoon (the highest heaven) and take him back to the earth, for I created them from it, and I shall return them to it, then I shall take them out from it again.’
Then his soul is returned to his body and two angels come and make him sit up”

[Musnad al-Imām Ahmad bin Hanbal(17803)]
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 Muhammadur Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم missed informing his ummah to start working for the "Restoration of the Caliphate" and just kept himself confined to keeping folks under muslim authority to stay patient with these rulers... (See Saheeh Muslim)
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝘆 Muhammadur Rasoolullah ﷺ informed us of this exact time when we will be split, divided, under evil people, yet he ﷺ did not think it was appropriate to even mention that
muslims must fasten their belts towards this "primary" goal.. aka thee PAN green earth Khilafah. Not a single mention or order by the Sharih ﷺ himself in the entire corpus of the shari'ah of such a mighty religion of haqq !!
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 the most powerful Prophet ﷺ ever to set foot on earth whose true Prophecies are unmatched till date and unparalleled even in the minutest of details like dipping the fly entirely in a cup , did NOT seem it FIT to talk about such a huge obligation on regular muslims during such an era of turmoil and depression for the ummah.
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 the Prophecies of Muhammad ﷺ all indicate that Muslims will not triumph in the end times except by swords ! And that has no closeness to the current era we are in.
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 he ﷺ even informed us in an hadeeth that there shall be a time when Muslims will be fighting one other like donkeys yet he did not even tell them to unite for a Khilafah or talk about it but he only mentioned Jihad of Asqalan (near Palestine and to protect Palestine) and how that is a strongly hand hold (الرباط) .
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 he ﷺ said that he has not left out anything that is worthy for our salvation except by mentioning it, but he did not see it fit to talk about coaxing ordinary folks about restoration of Khilafah by yapping but doing nothing.
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 the entire Qur'an wherein Allah mentions that those who do not rule by the rule of Allah is not accusing them of only Kufr but also gives out varying degrees of sin of it depending on situations (either Kufr, either Fisq or Dhulm)..
I guess muslims must have firm belief that he knew best what is more important for muslims in such times and he was the explainer of the Qur'an and he knew that muslims shouldn't be coaxed into doing things that they can't bear.
I am sure he ﷺ knew that mere payment of lip service (for coaxing others) is more closer to Nifaq (hypocrisy) because it decouples actions (A'maal) with beliefs (Eeman) while actions are the forte of the believers !
Next time anyone wants you to merely "talk about Khilafah" , tell him about the command of Rasoolullâh ﷺ to go defend the Land of Asqalan (Palestine) instead which he would never be able to do owing to the Nifaq in his heart. When it comes to actual "actions" the Munafiqs back out, when it comes to talking and raising awareness all day long, everyone is doing that.
Here is the hadeeth wherein the Prophet ﷺ actually commands us to do something tangible in times when muslims will be without proper rulers and fighting with each others like wild donkeys (يتكادمون عليه تكادم الحمر ) ie EXACTLY in our times !! He commanded us to safeguard Asqalan which these online keyboard warriors will never openly post about fearing their profiles getting vanished.
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
( أول هذا الأمر نبوة ورحمة، ثم يكون خلافة ورحمة، ثم يكون ملكا ورحمة ، ثم يكون إمارة ورحمة ، ثم يتكادمون عليه تكادم الحمر فعليكم بالجهاد، وإن أفضل جهادكم الرباط ، وإن أفضل رباطكم عسقلان )

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The first of this matter (of governance) is Prophethood and mercy, then caliphate and mercy, then kingship (Mulk) and mercy, (then governance (Imārah) and mercy), then they will bite each other for it just as zebras (wild donkeys) bite each other..."

It is extremely difficult to have faith while waiting. Delays are painful. But they certainly are blessings through and through, only if you change your perspective and you choose to view them as such.
❝Trials are beneficial to the Believers, because Allah corrects and improves them because of it!❞
- Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله
[مجموع الفتاوى ٢٨/٥٠]
You can't learn gratitude without loss. You can't learn to appreciate abundance without lack. You can't learn how to love without disappointments. And you can't learn companionship without lonely nights.
Believe me, I know how difficult it can be to find hope when everything feels so very dark.
Pain ends.
Fear ends.
Anxiety ends.
In time, you will find your way again.
❝Endure the nights of hardship because if you look through the eye of patience, you shall see the dawn of reward. Indeed the lofty ranks can be attained only by undergoing hardship.❞
- Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله
[Al-Lata'if fil-Wa'iz]
As you lie in pain, waiting for your life to change, remember that Allah has a plan for you and it is good! Allah never disappoints His believing slaves.
And if you ever feel your trials are never ending....
Remember what Imam Ahmad told his son..
In this life of poverty, hardship and trials, Abdullah ibn Ahmad asked his father Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal one day, “Abi when will we ever relax?” His father, one of the greatest revivers of the Sunnah, a role model for all Muslims, looked him in the eye and said, “With the first step we take into Jannah.”
❝Had Allah lifted the veil for his slave and shown him how He handles his affairs for him, and how Allah is more keen for the benefit of the slave than his own self, his heart would have melted out of the love for Allah and would have been torn to pieces out of thankfulness to Allah. Therefore if the pains of this world tire you do not grieve. For it may be that Allah wishes to hear your voice by way of duaa. So pour out your desires in prostration and forget about it and know; that verily Allah does not forget it.❞

~ Five things that the Messenger ﷺ feared for us ~
Pay attention to this and let's all take it personally, each one of us on his own level in society and scope of influence.
It was narrated that ‘Abd Allāh Ibn ‘Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ turned to us and said: ‘O Muhājirūn, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allāh lest you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the[ir] predecessors will spread among them. They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe calamity and the oppression of their rulers. They do not withhold the Zakāh [obligatory alms-giving] of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall on them. They do not break their covenant with Allāh and His Messenger, but Allāh will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their leaders rule according to the Book of Allāh and seek all good from that which Allāh has revealed, Allāh will cause them to fight one another.’”

Ibn ‘Umar and al-Bayādī (may Allāh be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “Do not recite the Qur’ān loudly over one another (i.e in a way that disturbs others).”

And if Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى opens for you the door of fasting then do not look at those who break their fast with a look of disdain.
And if Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى opens for you the door of jihad then do not look at those who sit and do not participate with a look of disdain.
Maybe the one who sleeps, breaks his fast and sits is closer to Allaah than you!

The immense reward for reciting the Qurʿān | let's make it a habit!
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed is multipled ten-folds. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.” [Reported by Tirmithi, graded Sahih by sh. Albani]
▪️Let's do some quick calculations to get a rough idea of the potential reward, while bearing in mind that Allah's Bounty is limitless:
If 1 page consists of 15 lines, and 1 line consists of 35 letters approximately:
35 × 15 = 500 letters (per page)
500 letters × 10 = 5000 good deeds
This is the potential reward for reciting 1 page of the Qur'an, which only takes around 2 minutes.
The potential reward for reciting 1 juzz (20 pages) is 100,000 good deeds.
And the potential reward for sharing this benefit is extremely high...
May Allah grant us well-being

Ibn al-Qayyim said:
‘As for the Dua of Dhu noon (Yunus), it has from the completion of Tawheed, Negating all deficiencies from Allaah, and the acknowledgment of the worshipper of his own oppression and sin.
It is the most far reaching medication for difficulties, anxiety and grief.
This Dua is the most far reaching means to Allaah -far is He from imperfection – in fulfilment of needs. Indeed, Tawheed and negating all deficiencies from Allaah includes affirming all perfection for Allaah,
Pure from all deficiency, defects and giving a similitude for Allaah’s Characteristics with the characteristics of the creation.
The acknowledgment of the worshipper’s oppression, includes that he has Eeman in the Sharia, reward and punishment.
This Dua obligates a person feeling weak and in a dire need turning to Allaah and requesting Allaah to pardon his mistakes. And acknowledgement with the servitude of worship of Allaah and the great need of a person of his Lord, Here, there are four things with which a closeness and a means occurs: Tawheed, freeing Allaah from imperfection, servitude of worship and acknowledgment.’

🔺 *Debt is a very serious matter, indeed*🔺
By Asma bint Shameem
Many people have adopted a very casual approach to being in debt and take out loans, not for some urgent need, but because they want to unnecessarily keep up with others in buying bigger homes, faster cars, more furniture or clothes or other temporary luxuries of this life.
But taking loans and being in debt is a GRAVE matter.
Islaam takes the matter of debt very seriously and warns against it and urges the Muslim to avoid it as much as possible.
And I am NOT talking about taking an “interest based” loan.
That is forbidden for SURE.
The kind of loan I am talking about is one WITHOUT interest, one that does NOT involve Ribaa;
The kind that is *allowed*, yet *discouraged* in Islaam.
And yet, we don’t see it as such.
🔺 *1) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to seek protection from it.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to say in his prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ
“Allaahumma inni a’oodhi bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram
“O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from sin and heavy debt.”
Someone said to him: “How often you seek refuge from heavy debt!”
He said: “When a man gets into debt, he speak and tells lies, and he makes a promise and breaks it.”
(al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
🔺 2) The person in debt will not enter Jannah until the debt is paid off!
Muhammad ibn Jahsh radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“We were sitting with the Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam when he raised his head towards the sky, then he put his palm on his forehead and said:
“Subhaan-Allaah!
What a strict issue has been revealed to me!”
We remained silent and were afraid. The following morning I asked him:
“O Messenger of Allaah, what is this strict issue that has been revealed?”
He said,
“By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were killed in battle for the sake of Allaah, then brought back to life, then killed and brought back to life again, then killed, and he owed a debt, he would not enter Jannah until his debt was paid off.” (al-Nasaa’i- hasan by al-Albaani)
🔺 3) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) didn’t pray his Janazah!
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) did not lead the funeral prayer for someone who had died owing three dinars, until Abu Qataadah radhi Allaahu anhu said:
O Allah's Messenger! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the salat (prayer).
(al-Bukhaari)
🔺 4) Freedom from debt makes entry into Jannah EASY.
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“Whoever dies free from three things – arrogance, cheating and debt – will enter Jannah.”
(al-Tirmidhi (1572); saheeh by al-Albaani)
🔺 5) The soul of the one in debt is suspended!
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“Your companion is being detained by his debt.” (Abu Dawood- hasan by al-Albaani).
And he said:
“The soul of the believer is held hostage by his debt in his grave until it is paid off.”
(at-Tirmidhi: saheeh by al-Albaani)
🍃 Explaining this hadeeth al-Suyooti said:
“It (soul) is detained and kept from reaching its noble destination.

🔺 When is taking a loan permissible?
The Ulama warn us about how difficult the issue of debt is, and that it should not be undertaken except in cases of necessity.
Based on this, there are three conditions for debt to be permissible:
🍃 1- The borrower should be determined to repay it.
🍃 2- It should be known or thought most likely that he is able to repay it,
By Asma bint Shameem
Many people have adopted a very casual approach to being in debt and take out loans, not for some urgent need, but because they want to unnecessarily keep up with others in buying bigger homes, faster cars, more furniture or clothes or other temporary luxuries of this life.
But taking loans and being in debt is a GRAVE matter.
Islaam takes the matter of debt very seriously and warns against it and urges the Muslim to avoid it as much as possible.
And I am NOT talking about taking an “interest based” loan.
That is forbidden for SURE.
The kind of loan I am talking about is one WITHOUT interest, one that does NOT involve Ribaa;
The kind that is *allowed*, yet *discouraged* in Islaam.
And yet, we don’t see it as such.
🔺 *1) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to seek protection from it.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to say in his prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ
“Allaahumma inni a’oodhi bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram
“O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from sin and heavy debt.”
Someone said to him: “How often you seek refuge from heavy debt!”
He said: “When a man gets into debt, he speak and tells lies, and he makes a promise and breaks it.”
(al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
🔺 2) The person in debt will not enter Jannah until the debt is paid off!
Muhammad ibn Jahsh radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“We were sitting with the Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam when he raised his head towards the sky, then he put his palm on his forehead and said:
“Subhaan-Allaah!
What a strict issue has been revealed to me!”
We remained silent and were afraid. The following morning I asked him:
“O Messenger of Allaah, what is this strict issue that has been revealed?”
He said,
“By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were killed in battle for the sake of Allaah, then brought back to life, then killed and brought back to life again, then killed, and he owed a debt, he would not enter Jannah until his debt was paid off.” (al-Nasaa’i- hasan by al-Albaani)
🔺 3) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) didn’t pray his Janazah!
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) did not lead the funeral prayer for someone who had died owing three dinars, until Abu Qataadah radhi Allaahu anhu said:
O Allah's Messenger! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the salat (prayer).
(al-Bukhaari)
🔺 4) Freedom from debt makes entry into Jannah EASY.
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“Whoever dies free from three things – arrogance, cheating and debt – will enter Jannah.”
(al-Tirmidhi (1572); saheeh by al-Albaani)
🔺 5) The soul of the one in debt is suspended!
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“Your companion is being detained by his debt.” (Abu Dawood- hasan by al-Albaani).
And he said:
“The soul of the believer is held hostage by his debt in his grave until it is paid off.”
(at-Tirmidhi: saheeh by al-Albaani)
🍃 Explaining this hadeeth al-Suyooti said:

🍃 2- It should be known or thought most likely that he is able to repay it,
🍃 3- It should be for something that is permissible according to Sharee’ah.
🔺 Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said:
“The debt for which a person will be kept out of Paradise – and Allaah knows best – is that for which he left behind enough to pay it off but he did not leave instructions to that effect, or he was able to pay it off but did not do so, or he took the loan for some unlawful or extravagant matter and died without having paid it off.
As for the one who took a loan for something lawful because he was poor, and he died without leaving behind anything to pay it off, Allaah will not keep him from Paradise because of it, in sha Allaah.”
So take a loan only when absolutely necessary.
And if you are in a situation of debt right now, try your utmost best to pay off your debts as soon as possible.
Strive hard to pay it off, don’t take it lightly, put your trust in Allaah, and pray to Him to make it easy for you to pay off your debt.
🍃 The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
“The one who takes people’s wealth intending to pay it back, Allaah will pay it back for him, and the one who takes it intending to destroy it, Allaah will destroy him.”
(al-Bukhaari).
There are a number of duas in the Sunnah that the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to make to help him stay away from all kinds of debt and to pay off any debts a person may have.
We should try and read those duaas and do our best to pay off our debts we may have, as soon as possible.
May Allaah help us to do that. Ameen.
And Allaah knows best

The Merit of Night Prayer when others Sleep:
It is reported that ‘Abdullāh b. Masʿūd said:
Allāh the Mighty and Sublime laughs at two men [being pleased with them]: a man who stands in the middle of the night while his family sleeps; he purifies himself and stands in prayer, so Allāh laughs at him. And a man who meets the enemy [in battle] and his comrades are defeated; but he stands his ground until Allāh the Mighty and Sublime gives him martyrdom.
Abū Bakr Al-Ājurrī, Faḍl Qiyām Al-Layl, article 9.
Note: A longer version of this narration is reported from Allāh’s Messenger himself – praise and peace be upon him – in the Musnad of Aḥmad and other collections.
