Abu Huraira reported:

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ascended the pulpit and he said, “Ameen, ameen, ameen.”

It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the pulpit and said ameen, ameen, ameen.”

The Prophet said, “Verily, Gabriel came to me and he said: Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say ameen. I said ameen.

Whoever sees his parents in their old age, one or both of them, and he does not honor them and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say ameen. I said ameen.

Whoever has your name mentioned in his presence and he does not send blessings upon you and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say ameen. I said ameen.”

Three Levels of Sabr (Types of patience & perseverance)

The true sabr is foregoing the bounties of this life for the bounties of the next life. Sabr for the sake of Allah can be defined in three ways:

(1) Sabr fil’musibah (having sabr when facing difficulties)

This is when you show patience in the event of some difficulty. We all undergo difficulties, but the distinguishing factor is how we deal with them. Some people will get upset and continuously complain, but the believers will see difficulty as an opportunity to worship Allah سبحانه و تعالى‎ , they will exhibit a calmness and say alhamdulilah (all praise is to Allah) for the chance to come closer to Him. They’ll say innallahi wa ina’ilahi rajioun (from Allah we came and unto Him is our return).

(2) Sabr an’nil masiah (having the sabr to restrain from sin/ refraining from sins)
When the believer is faced with the opportunity to do sin, he will immediately turn away from it. This will require a certain sabr, a certain restraint, because the chance to do sin is all around us.

(3) Sabr a’la taha (sabr in the acts of worship / doing good deeds)
To develop a consistency in our routine, to patiently do our good deeds and worship without fail requires a deep sabr.

Ya Allah make us among the Muttaqeen, make us among the Muhsineen, make us among the Tawwabeen, make us among the Awabeen, make us among the Sabireen, and the Zakireen, and the Muqarrabeen,

BOOK OF THE END. https://www.kalamullah.com/book-of-the-end.html

THE END OF THE WORLD. https://www.kalamullah.com/theendoftheworld.html
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

The prophet (ﷺ) used to direct his household to perform a prayer when faced with any difficulty or calamity, and read this verse from the Qur'an:

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give you subsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil).
(Q,20:132).

The prophet (ﷺ) also let us know that the prophets before him also held fast to prayer when faced with difficulty:
"The former prophets also used to hold to prayer when faced with any tribulation or misfortune."
(Fadail al-Amal,249)

Yaa Allaah, You are The first and The last, The beginning and The End,
You are The Powerful and we are powerless.
Oh Allaah bless us in whatever we do, protect us wherever we go, light up every road we take with Your mercy and guidance, make our hopes and aspirations become reality and help us in every difficulties that comes our way., grant us the good of this world and the Hereafter, Birahmatikaah Yaa Rahman Yaa Rahim, Amiin.

Imam Ibn al-Jawzi narrated a funny story with a lesson:

رأت فأرة جملاً فأعجبها فجرت خطامه فتبعها فلما وصل إلى باب بيتها وقف ونادى بلسان الحال: إما أن تتخذي داراً يليق بمحبوبك أو محبوباً يليق بدارك، خذ من هذه إشارة إما أن تصلي صلاة تليق بمعبودك أو تتخذ معبوداً يليق بصلاتك

"𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘭 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥.
𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯!
𝘚𝘰, 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥:
“𝙀𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚, 𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚”.
[Ibn al-Jawzi comments]:
𝘚𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺, 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳!'

['Al-Mudhish', p. 456].

* See comments for further explanation

Allah is the Most High, when we present prayers to Him, we should offer it in the best possible way. We should stand with clean and beautiful clothing, we should fully focus our attention and beautify our voice.

When you have an appointment with a king, or even your boss, you would wear the best dress, appear professional, wear perfume and remain fully focused to impress. You would not pick your nose, look around, etc.

Similarly, ولله المثل الأعلى , He is the Creator of the Universe, the King of Kings - when we stand in front of Him for prayer , we should be on our best behaviour.

DEBT IS A HUGE THING!

Dear sisters,

One of the most difficult things to pay back in life is debt. How much more if death overtakes us? I have been struggling to raise funds for a deceased brother in the last few days, and the amount l needed hasn't gone anywhere. Though, l wouldn't ever relent. Sometimes, I wish l can relieve people who are willing to pay up their debts, but due to one thing or another couldn't.

There is a tiny line between the 'willing to pay' and the 'l will not pay' come what may. If there is anything you should be fearful of, let it be debt.
Forget that the person is my sister, she will understand. No one will understand anything when it comes to debt. In fact, one should avoid borrowing if it is possible. This is because it is easy to borrow, but not easy to pay. I understand the circumstances that surround the unpaid debt, but let it be your prayer point to your Rabb!

The Prophet once passed by two companions who are arguing due to one owing the other, and all he did was ease the affairs for both of them. And that is the only thing we can offer our sisters. Pay your sister her right before death knock. And the creditor should also exercise patience and cover the fault of her sister. You were once friends. I pray Allah grant succor to your heart. I pray He assist the debtor to pay on time. It doesn't sound right that money is the cause of you brethren separation. Oh Muslim Sisters! Hold on to the rope of Allah and do not become enemies!

*🕜"Siwaak is Recommended at all times of night and day, because of the general sense of the Hadith quoted above from Aisha RadiAllahuAnha, Siwaak💧cleanses the mouth and pleases the☝️Lord.

*[Sahih Al-Bukhari 245, 889, 1136]📖*
*[Sahih Muslim 255a, 255c]📖*

*4 - "When the smell of ones👅mouth changes, whether this is because of eating food with a strong odour, or because of not eating or drinking for a long time, etc. Siwaak is cleansing for the mouth, which means that it should definitely be used when the mouth needs💧Cleaning."*

*5 - "When going to the🕌Mosque Using Siwaak is part of the adornment which we are commanded to wear for every prayer, as Allah☝️ says 📜'O Children of Adam! Take your adornment while praying' 📖[Q 7:31]. It is also important because the angels are present in the mosque, and one is going to meet with other worshippers there. When reading📗Quran and joining gatherings in which☝️Allah is remembered (dhikr), because the angels are present on such occasions."*

*6 - What should be used for 🌴Siwaak (cleaning the mouth).*

*🌟'The scholars are agreed that the best thing for cleaning the mouth is the twigs of the araak tree, because of its good smell, and because it has brush-like fibres which are effective for cleaning food particles etc. from between the🦷teeth, and because of the Hadith'*👇

*Hadith📝*

*It was💬Narrated from Zirr bin Hubaish from Ibn Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I used to gather Siwaak sticks from the 🌴araak tree for the💙Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).*

This includes modern toothbrusheswhich are known to be beneficial in this regard."*

*'🌟Things that may not be used for Siwaak that, The Scholars have stated that it isForbidden to use🦠Poisonous sticks, things that are not taahir (pure, clean), and anything that may cause bleeding, illness or any other harm.'*

*7 - Attributes of Siwaak.*

*🌟"The Fuqaha have described the siwaak as a stick of medium length and thickness, no thicker than ones little finger, and free of knots. It should not be so wet that it will twist, because then it will not remove dirt, nor should it be so dry that it will hurt the mouth or crack during use. No doubt this is describing the ideal, otherwise the reports do not specify any particular type of Siwaak. It is Permissible to use any kind of Siwaak that will do the job."*

*🌟"The Siwaak should be💧washed after use and The siwaak should be kept in a clean place, to get rid of any dirt that may be on it."*

*💬"Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: 💙The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to use Siwaak, then he would give it to me to💧wash it. I would use it first, then wash it and give it back to him."*

The power of dua is so real. Don’t ever doubt it especially during this month of Ramadan where Allah’s giving is much more. Where the gates of Jannah are all open. Where Allah frees His slaves from the hell-fire every night. Just think for a sec how kind Allah is to us this month

Shaykh Sālih al-‘Usaymi [may Allāh preserve him] said:

“If you cannot speak a good word, then do not speak a bad word. Abstaining from speaking an evil word is an act of charity, just as a good word is an act of charity, as mentioned in the narration of the Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ‘Whomsoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent.’”

Translation: Authentic Quotes
Etiquettes of moving into a new house :
Every one of us will probably move into a new house some time or another, at least once in our lifetime. Here are some etiquettes of moving into the new house according to the Sunnah.

1) Thank Allah:

First and foremost be grateful for the blessing of Allaah, because being grateful is one of the noblest of deeds. Indeed it is Allaah alone that has blessed you and if you are thankful, Allaah will increase you even more in His blessings.

“And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: If you give thanks, I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily, My punishment is indeed severe” [Surah Ibraaheem:7]

Ibn al-Qayyim said:
Faith is of two halves: half is gratitude and half is patience.

2) Say this Dua:

Someone asked Sheikh Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen what a person should say if he enters his home. He said:
“Praise be to Allaah. When a man enters his house, he should say….

أعوذ بكلمات الله التامَّات من شر ما خلق

‘A’oodhu bi kalimaat-Illaah it-taammaati min sharri ma khalaq
(I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He has created)’ three times.

If he says this, then nothing will harm him until he leaves that place.”

Also when the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) saw something that he liked, he would say:

الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الذِي بِنِعمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ

“Al-hamdu Lillaah illadhi bi ni’matihi tatimmu’l-saalihaat
(Praise be to Allaah by Whose grace good deeds are completed).” (Ibn Maajah)

3) Say Bismillaah and prevent the Shaytaan from entering:

Saying Bismillaah on entering your house will keep the Shaytaan out. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:

“When a man enters his house, and mentions Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, when he enters and when he eats, the Shaytaan says: ‘You have no place to stay and no dinner.’ But if he enters and does not mention Allaah when he enters, the Shaytaan says, ‘You have found a place to stay.’ And if he does not mention Allaah when he eats, he says: ‘You have found a place to stay and dinner.’” (Muslim)

This is not only for a new house, rather it includes all houses and all times of entering. So start your life in your new house with the remembrance of Allaah

4) Say Masha Allaah:

When you admire your new house, say

مَا شَاءَ اللهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللهِ

“Ma sha’ Allaah la quwwata illa Billaah.”

That is because Allaah said in the story of the two men in Surah al-Kahf:

“It was better for you to say, when you entered your garden: ‘‘Ma sha’ Allaah la quwwata illa Billaah (that which Allaah wills (will come to pass! There is no power but with Allaah)’ If you see me less than you in wealth, and children” [Surah al-Kahf:39]

Ibn al-Qayyim said: “The one who enters his garden or house and sees something that he likes in his wealth or his family should hasten to say these words, and if he does, no harm will befall the thing that he admired.”

5) Protect your house from Envy and the Evil Eye:

One of the ways in which you can seek protection for your new house from the evil eye and envy is to say what the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) taught us.

أُعِيذُكَ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِن كُلِّ شَيطَانٍ وَهَامَّة ، وَمِن كُلِّ عَينٍ لَامَّةٍ

“U’eedhuka bi kalimaat-Allaah il-taammah min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah
(I seek refuge for you in the perfect words of Allaah from every devil and poisonous reptile, and from every envious evil eye).” (Bukhaari)

6) Read Surah al-Baqarah:

Reading this blessed Surah will drive the Shayaateen away from your house. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:

“Do not make your houses into graves, for the Shaytaan flees from a house in which Surah al-Baqarah is recited.” (Muslim)

Shaykh Ibn Baaz said :
“It seems – and Allaah knows best – that by means of the reading of all of Soorat al-Baqarah, either on the radio or by the owner of the house, that which was mentioned by the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) may be achieved, namely Shaytaan fleeing from that house. (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa)

This shows us that any way that the reading is achieved is sufficient, be it reading it yourself or playing it on the CD, radio, etc.

7) Invite people to dinner:

Make food and invite people to come and eat, because that is a way of showing gratitude to Allaah. The Ulama tell us that holding a feast after acquiring property is called “wakeerah” and it is mustahabb (recommended) to do so, like all kinds of feasts that are given on happy occasions.

(8) Stay away from innovations:

There is no proof in the Qur’aan or Sunnah that justifies holding Qur’aan Khwaanis or ‘Khatams’ of ‘Yaa Salaamu’, etc. when a person moves to a new house. We don’t have any authentic reports about the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) or the Sahabah reading the different parts of the Qur’aan or holding Khatams when they, for example, migrated to Madeenah and moved to new houses. As a matter of fact, they didn’t do this EVER, at any part of their lives, whether they moved or not moved.

Also there is no proof in the Shari’ah of other innovations that people have invented when they first move into new houses such as taking the Qur’aan, or taking water and salt before anything else into their new house, burning chilies at the doorstep, etc. That is all superstition and thus forbidden.
If there are only two things you can focus on this Ramadan. Let it be Quran and feeding others.

[كان الزهري إذا دخل رمضان يقول : إنَّما هو تلاوة القرآن، وإطعام الطعام .]
❝When Ramadan came, al-Zuhri used to say, "There is only reciting the Qur'an and feeding others.❞
- Ibn Rajab رَحِمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ

Ibn Qudāmah al-Maqdisī ‎رحمه الله said,

“It is possible that one will die today, get prepared like one who is preparing to die. If you go to sleep thank Allāh for safety as Allāh is Ever-Able to cause you to die tonight, so be eager to do good actions.”

[The Remembrance Of Death And The Afterlife, p.18]

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said:

"We fasted Ramadan with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not lead us in Qiyam until there were seven days left of the month, then he led us in Qiyam until one-third of the night had passed. Then, when there were six days left, he did not lead us in Qiyam. When there were five days left, he led us in praying Qiyam until half the night had passed. We said: 'O Messenger of Allah (SA), why don't you lead us in praying Qiyam for the rest of the night?' He said: 'If a man prays with the Imam until he leaves, that will be continued for him as if he spent the whole night in prayer.' Then, when there were four days left, he did not lead us in praying Qiyam. When there were three days left he sent for his daughters and women, and gathered the people, and he led us in praying Qiyam until we feared that we would miss Al-Falah. Then he did not lead us in praying Qiyam for the rest of the month." Dawud (one of the narrators) said: "I said: ' What is falah?' He said: 'Sahur.'

In Sūrah Kahf, Allāh mentions:

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَحَفَفْنَاهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا

And put forward to them the example of two men; unto one of them We had given two gardens of grapes, and We had surrounded both with date-palms; and had put between them green crops (cultivated fields etc.).

كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ آتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِم مِّنْهُ شَيْئًا ۚ وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَالَهُمَا نَهَرًا

Each of those two gardens brought forth its produce, and failed not in the least therein, and We caused a river to gush forth in the midst of them.

وَكَانَ لَهُ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا

And he had wealth and he said to his companion, in the course of mutual talk: I am more than you in wealth and stronger in respect of men.

- Qurʾān, Sūrah Kahf, Verse 31-33

These verses describes the event of two people. One of whom had a lot of wealth and was proud of it, he refused to accept that there is any life after death, and if there is one, he claimed, he will be given more wealth and reward therein. His argument was that if Allah was not pleased with him, he would not have this amount of wealth in this world.

The other person, though less than him in wealth, was a true believer. He refuted the argument of the former by saying that the worldly wealth is not a sign of one being close to Allah, because the worldly benefits are given by Allah, in one way or the other, even to the disbelievers and sinful people, rather to the snakes, scorpions and beasts. It is a horrible mistake to presume that they are the signs of one's being approved by Allah. Therefore, neither your wealth is the proof of your behaviour being approved by Allah, nor my lesser wealth is a proof of disapproval by Him. Allah's approval or disapproval depends on one's faith and by deeds alone and not on the amount of wealth one has.

"Allah descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the first part of the night is over and says: I am the Lord; I am the Lord: who is there to supplicate Me so that I answer him? Who is there to beg of Me so that I grant him? Who is there to beg forgiveness from Me so that I forgive him? He continues like this till the day breaks." Sahih Muslim 758b

Take 15 minutes, take 10 minutes just before Fajr and pour your heart out to your Lord. I know you have to creep really slowly and quietly so the kids don't stir and you're counting how much sleep you'll actually get tonight.. I know. Tell Allah, ask Him for strength. May He grant you all EVERYTHING you need and more. ♥️♥️♥️
