Shaykh Luhaydan trembled & cried on 25th night while reciting this ayah and surely the verse moved me too at the same time!
𝐒𝐚𝐲, "𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐦 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬? 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐬."
[Surat Al Fussilat -41]
Such a simple verse, yet so astronomically powerful.

Don’t worry about pleasing people, worry about pleasing Allah.
Listen to this authentic hadith :
Aisha رضي الله عنها said that The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah while people are displeased , Allah will suffice him against the people,
and whoever seeks the pleasure of people while displeasing Allah, Allah will leave him (to be in need) of the people.”
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ الْتَمَسَ رِضَا اللَّهِ بِسَخَطِ النَّاسِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ مُؤْنَةَ النَّاسِ وَمَنْ الْتَمَسَ رِضَا النَّاسِ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَكَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ
About this Imam Shafi said :
“Pleasing people is a goal that cannot be reached and i don’t have a way to be safe from them ,
Therefore you have to cling on to what will benefit you. (meaning pleasing Allah).
عَنْ يُونُس بْن عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ قَالَ لِي الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ النَّاسُ غَايَةٌ لَا تُدْرَكُ وَلَيْسَ لِي إِلَى السَّلَامَةِ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ فَعَلَيْكَ بِمَا يَنْفَعُكَ فَالْزَمْهُ

THIS IS THE DECREE OF ALLĀH!
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Strive for what will benefit you, and seek the help of Allāh, and do not be incapacitated. And if something afflicts you, do not say: 'If I had done such and such, such and such would have happened.' But say: "This is the decree of Allāh, He does what He wills. This is because 'if' opens the act of Shaytān.*

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“The more the people would commit new types of oppression and crimes, the more their Lord would afflict them with new types of corruptions and diseases in their food, fruits, air, waters, bodies, appearances, images, shapes, and manners…
…from deficiencies and corruptions,
which are the result of their actions, injustice and wrongdoing.”

*Step-by-Step Walkthrough to pay Zakaat-ul-Fitr*
Step 1: Determine the number of people you are giving zakaat al-fitr on behalf of.
A man has a wife and four children, and his parents have asked him to give out zakaat al-fitr for them too. So he needs to give out 8 units, or saa’s, of food.
Step 2: Determine how much one saa’ (3 litres) of the selected food item is.
The man in our example decides to use barley. He can either:
(a) Measure out three litres of barley in a large measuring pitcher, if he doesn’t mind opening the container, and it will not be seen as unacceptable to the poor person.
(b) Measure out 750 ml of barley in a measuring cup. Weigh this amount. Multiply its weight by 4. This is one saa’ of that barley. Let’s say in this example 750ml of the selected barley weighed 400 grams. So 400g x 4 = 1.6kg. The weight of one saa’ of that specific kind of barley would be 1.6 kilograms.
Step 3: Multiply the measurement from step 2 by the number of people you are giving on behalf of (from step 1).
This is done one of two ways:
(a) 3 litres x 8 = 24 litres of barley as in this example (based on the original volume)
(b) 1.6kg x 8 = 12.8 kilograms in this example (converted to weight)
I hope this walkthrough is helpful.

Begin 'Eīd With Lowering The Gaze
Some of the companions of Sufyān ath-Thawrī said: "We went out with ath-Thawrī on the day of 'Eīd and he said: 'Verily, the first thing we will begin our day with is lowering the gaze."
● [التبصرة لابن الجوزي ص ٦١]
Ḥasān Ibn Abī Sinān went out for the 'Eīd and when he returned his wife said to him:
"How many beautiful women did you see today?"
And when she persisted he replied: "I did not look at anything except my thumb from the time I went out until I returned to you!

Don't Forget Allah After Ramadan
Allāh the lord of Ramadān is the Lord of All other months Fear Allāh even after Ramadān and guard your Deen!
It was said to Bishr al-Hāfī:
"There are some people who strive hard in Ramadān but when it ends, they stop." He replied: "How evil are these people! They only know the rights of Allah in Ramadān. Indeed the pious person is the one who worships and strives hard throughout the entire year."

Imam al-Nawawi, in his explanation of Saheeh Muslim, wrote the following concerning this hadeeth:
It is said: the likeness of them in tenderness and softness, like another hadeeth, “The people of Yemen are the most soft-hearted and the most tender-hearted“
And it is said: in fear and reverence. And birds are the most frightful and alarm-prone of animals, just as Allah said, “It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah” [35:28], as if the meaning was a people who were overcome by fear, as has been narrated about large numbers of the salaf concerning the severity of their fear.
And it is said: the meaning is al-mutawakkiloon (those who place their reliance and trust upon Allah). And Allah knows best

Fasting of six days in shawwal after Ramadan.
Alhamdulillah, let's look at the Hadith of the virtue of fasting in the six days of shawwal.
As reported in the Hadith,
Narrated Abu Ayyub:
The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone fasts during Ramadan, then follows it with six days in Shawwal, it will be like a perpetual fast.
Sunan Abi Dawud 2433.
Abu Ayub narrated that ::
the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan, then follows it with six from Shawwal, then that is (equal inreward) to fasting everyday."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 759.
So after Ramadan, let's try and fasts these six days for more reward.
May Allah s.w.t guides and grants us the strength to make this fast. Amiin

Dawud said, "Be like a merciful father towards the orphan. Know that you will reap as you sow. How ugly poverty is after wealth! More than that:
how ugly is misguidance after guidance! When you make a promise to your friend, fulfil your promise. If you do not, it will bring about enmity between you and him. Seek refuge in Allah from a companion who, when you mention something to him, does not help you and who does not remind you when you forget." Al Adab Al Mufrad : 138

The entire month of Shawwal is a time for fasting the six days
Q: Is it permissible for a person to choose any six days to observe Sawm (Fasting) in Shawwal, or is there a fixed time for them? If we observe Sawm on them, will it become a Fard (obligation) on us?
A: It was authentically reported that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Anyone who fasts Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwal it is as if they fasted the whole year.” (Related by Imam Muslim in his Sahih [Authentic Hadith Book]) These days are not fixed in the month. A Mu’min (believer) can choose to observe them at any time throughout the month, whether in the beginning, middle, or end of the month, and whether on separate or consecutive days. There is flexibility in this matter, praise be to Allah. If a person observes them in the beginning of the month, it will be even better, as this is a form of hastening to do good deeds. It is not thus, considered a Fard; a person can leave them in any year.
However, it is better and more perfect to continue observing Sawm on these days every year, acting on the saying of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “The deed liked most by Allah is one to which the doer adheres constantly, even if it is small.” May Allah grant us success!
