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 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡.

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.❞
- Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad.

I got this property through inheritance from my forefathers.' The angel said, 'If you are telling a lie, then let Allah make you as you were before.' Then the angel, disguised in the shape and appearance of a bald man, went to the bald man and said to him the same as he told the first one, and he too answered the same as the first one did. The angel said, 'If you are telling a lie, then let Allah make you as you were before.' The angel, disguised in the shape of a blind man, went to the blind man and said, 'I am a poor man and a traveler, whose means of livelihood have been exhausted while on a journey. I have nobody to help me except Allah, and after Him, you yourself. I ask you in the Name of Him Who has given you back your eyesight to give me a sheep, so that with its help, I may complete my journey'. The man said, 'No doubt, I was blind and Allah gave me back my eyesight. (I was poor and Allah made me rich); so take anything you wish from my property. By Allah, I will not stop you for taking anything (you need) of my property which you may take for Allah's sake.' The angel replied, 'Keep your property with you. You (i.e. three men) have been tested and Allah is pleased with you and is angry with your two companions.' " (Al-Bukhari)

Show off even in the matters of the Deen? 🚫

⚠The Prophet Muhammed (Sall'Allaahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) said:

"What I fear for you the most is the minor SHIRK, that is Ar-Riya (Show off). Allāah will say on the Day of Judgement when He is rewarding the people for their actions: Go to those for whom you did Riya for in the world, then see if you find the reward with them."

USING BLESSINGS TO BENEFIT PEOPLE

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,

إِنَّ لِلَّهِ أَقْوَامًا اخْتَصَّهُمْ بِالنِّعَمِ لِمَنَافِعِ الْعِبَادِ وَيُقِرُّهَا فِيهِمْ مَا بَذَلُوهَا فَإِذَا مَنَعُوهَا نَزَعَهَا عَنْهُمْ وَحَوَّلَهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ

Verily, Allah has people for whom He has assigned blessings to benefit His servants. He consolidates their blessings as long as they offer them to others. If they refuse to give them, He takes them away and directs them to others.

[Shu’ab al-Imān 7144] (hasan li ghayrihi)

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَةً فَأَسْبَغَهَا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ فَإِنْ تَبَرَّمَ بِهِمْ فَقَدْ عَرَّضَ تِلْكَ النِّعْمَةَ لِلزَّوَالِ

None among the servants are bestowed a blessing from Allah and He makes it abundant upon him but that He will appoint to him something of the needs of people. If he is irritated with them, he risks the disappearance of that blessing.

Shaykh Muḥammad Amān Ibn ʿAlī al-Jāmī [رحمه الله] said:

❝Only knowledge allows you to differentiate the callers to the truth from the callers to falsehood; consequently, if you are deprived of it, the truth becomes unclear [Allāh’s refuge is sought] and whoever is confused by knowledge becomes lost. Therefore, you must ask continuously in your supplications for the truth to remain clear to you.❞

[Sharḥ Qurrah ‘Ayūn al-Muwaḥḥdīn, (Page: 36) | Translated By Musa Shaleem Mohammed]

Life’s Feeling a Bit Messed Up? Here’s Exactly Why

Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) guaranteed:

“Whosoever makes the Aakhirah his (primary) concern, Allah will place his richness into his heart, and He will bring together (sort out) for him his state of affairs, and the Dunya will come to him submissively. And whosoever makes the Dunya his concern then Allah will place his poverty right before his eyes, and He will mess up his state of affairs and nothing from the Dunya will come to him except what was decreed for him.”

(Authentic Hadith recorded by Tirmidhi amongst others)

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ كَانَتْ الْآخِرَةُ هَمَّهُ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَجَمَعَ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَفَرَّقَ عَلَيْهِ شَمْلَهُ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ

Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said,

“Allah Ta’ala said: O son of Adam, busy yourself with worshipping me and I will fill your heart with riches and alleviate your poverty (of the heart). If you do not do so, I will fill your hands with concerns (problems) and never alleviate your poverty (i.e. you will forever be in want and discontented).”

(Authenticated by adh-Dhahabi, al-Haakim, Ibn Hibbaan and others)

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ تَفَرَّغْ لِعِبَادَتِي أَمْلَأْ صَدْرَكَ غِنًى وَأَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ وَإِلَّا تَفْعَلْ مَلَأْتُ يَدَيْكَ شُغْلًا وَلَمْ أَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ

Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz (rahmatullahi alayh) advised:

“O people! Rectify your private matters (i.e. refrain from Haraam and Doubtful matters and increase your Ibaadah), and Allah will sort out your public matters.”

(Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s Kitab az-Zuhd)

ﺃﻳﻬﺎ اﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺃﺻﻠﺤﻮا ﺳﺮاﺋﺮﻛﻢ ﺗﺼﻠﺢ ﻋﻼﻧﻴﺘﻜﻢ

Sufyan al-Thawri (rahmatullahi alayh) said:

“Make excellent your secret matters (i.e. implement Allah’s commands and abstain from Haraam and Doubtful Matters) and Allah will make your open matters excellent. Rectify (make right) what is between you and Allah, and He will rectify what is between you and the people.”

(Abu Nuaym’s Hilyah)

عن أبي نعيم قال سفيان الثوري رحمه الله وَأَحْسِنْ سَرِيرَتَكَ يُحْسِنِ اللَّهُ عَلَانِيَتَكَ وَأَصْلِحْ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ يَصْلُحِ اللَّهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ

Abu Haazim (rahmatullah alayh) said:

“No servant sets right what is between himself and his Lord except that Allah makes excellent what is between him and the people, and he does not spoil what is between himself and Allah, except that Allah messes up what is between him and the people.”

(adh-Dhahabi’s Tadhkirat ul-Huffaaz)

ﺃﺑﻮ ﺣﺎﺯﻡ ﻗﺎﻝ ﻻ ﻳﺤﺴﻦ ﻋﺒﺪ ﻓﻲﻣﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻭﺑﻴﻦ ﺭﺑﻪ ﺇﻻ ﺃﺣﺴﻦ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻭﺑﻴﻦ اﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩ ﻭﻻ ﻳﻌﻮﺭ ﻣﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻭﺑﻴﻦ اﻟﻠﻪ ﺇﻻ ﺃﻋﻮﺭ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻓﻲ ﻣﺎ ﺑﻴﻨﻪ ﻭﺑﻴﻦ اﻟﻌﺒﺎﺩ

Teach your children al-ṣidq (ie: truthfulness) through speech and action.
علموا أولادكم الصدق بالقول والفعل،

So, when you speak to them, do not lie to them,
فإذا حدثتموهم فلا تكذبوا عليهم

And if you make them a promise then do not break your promise.
وإذا وعدتموهم فلا تخلفوا وعدكم.

Umār Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said:

"If one of you were to know the reality of hell, he will be shouting till his voice is cut off and he will be praying till his back get broken. "

[Az-Zuhd by Ibn Al-Mubarak]

Anas bin Malik [Radhiyallahu Anhu] reported Allah's Messenger {Sallallahu Alahi Wasallam} as saying:

Three things follow the bier of a dead man. Two of them come back and one is left with him: the members of his family, wealth and his good deeds. The members of his family and wealth come back and the deeds alone are left with him

Sahih Muslim,Book no-55,The book of Zuhd and Softening of Hearts,Hadith no-8

Many people half-heartedly accept the decree of Allah and some even complain. However there are very few who actually accept and are pleased with what has been decreed and this is the form of absolute submission to Allah. So whenever you make dua ask Allah for pleasure after what has been decreed!

“Allaah is more merciful to His slaves than the most merciful of mothers to her child. For the One Who made her merciful must be more merciful than her. ”

● {Ibn Taymiyyah’s Fataawa v. 16, p. 448}

Holding special congregational prayer (du'a) to mark birthdays, retirement, naming, return from a journey, marriage anniversary and so on. This has no basis in the Sunnah. However, one can invite people to feast and rejoice for all these except that of birthday which is a form of imitating the disbelievers. The origin of birthday celebration is pagan in nature. A Muslim is to thank Allah on every days of his life and not until he adds another year.

💎Imām Bukhārī’s respect for hadīth.

Imām Bukhārī once went to see a man in order to hear a Ḥadīth.

The man’s horse had run away from him and stood at a distance.

To make the horse walk towards him he lifted his shirt and acted as if he had barley inside it and began to tempt the animal, this made the animal come back to him, allowing the man to catch it.

Imām Bukhārī asked the man if he really did have barley in his shirt, to which the reply was: “No, I only did it to bring the horse back.”

Imām Bukhārī said: “By Allāh, I will not narrate from you! How can I take a blessed hadīth of the Holy Prophet from a man who lies to animals!?”

Optimism and Positive Attitude in Islam

Allah ﷻ says, ﴾And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.'﴿ — Surat Ibrahim, 14:7

The Prophet ﷺ said, ❝There are no (bad) omens, but the best of it is optimism.❞ [Sunan Abi Dawud 3910]

The Prophet ﷺ said, ❝No bird ever flew on just one wing; similarly, no one can achieve success by relying solely on (things being) good or bad. The best of what a person can do is to be optimistic and have a positive attitude.❞ [Sunan Abu Dawud 3910]

The Prophet ﷺ said, ❝The affairs of a believer are amazing, for they are all good. If something pleasing happens to him, he is grateful, and that is good for him. If something displeasing happens to him, he is patient, and that is good for him.❞ [Sahih Muslim 2999]

Al-Ghazali (d. 505H) said, ❝The optimist sees opportunities in every difficulty, while the pessimist sees difficulties in every opportunity.❞ [Ihya Ulum al-Din]

Al-Ghazali (d. 505H) said, ❝Know that true optimism is not wishful thinking, but rather the belief that Allah has a purpose for everything that happens, and that no matter what comes our way, we can always find a way to draw closer to Him.❞ [Ihya Ulum al-Din]

Al-Iskandari (d. 709H) said, ❝Optimism is the key to happiness, for it allows us to see the good in every situation and to trust that Allah's plan for us is always for our benefit.❞ [Hikam Ibn 'Ata'allah]

Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751H) said, ❝The one who is optimistic about Allah will always find a way out of his difficulties, while the one who despairs will always remain in his hardship.❞ [Al-Fawa'id]

Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751H) said, ❝A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.❞ [Al-Wabil al-Sayyib]

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (d. 795 AH) said, ❝Optimism is a part of faith, just as pessimism is a part of disbelief. Therefore, a believer should always be optimistic, for Allah loves those who are optimistic.❞ [Jami' al-Ulum wa al-Hikam]

" One day a rich man gave a basket full of rotten food to a poor man.

The poor man smiled and left the palace with the basket, ....emptied the basket of it's content and cleaned it,
Put beautiful flowers in it and returned it to the palace and gave it to the rich man.

The rich man was surprised and asked the poor man, "Why "?
" I gave you a basket full of rotten things and you bring it back filled with beautiful flowers. "

The poor man replied the king:
" Every human being gives what is in his heart. "

What is inside you is what you give out. Be kind always.

You don't need to first become rich to be kind, kindness is free! Whether rich or poor ... all can be kind, what you only need is ...
" A RICH HEART "!



Kindness matters......!!🌹❣️

Types of Companionship

Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd رحمه الله said:

"Choose the best for companionship and friendship; someone who will help you in your quest, in drawing nearer to your Lord, and agrees with you in your noble objective and intention. Take [from me] the most precise gauge in categorising friends:

• A friend who befriends you [solely] for his welfare.
• A friend who befriends you [solely] for fun.
• A friend who befriends you for virtue.

As regards the first two, then their relationship with you is cut off when the necessitating reason is fulfilled: the attainment of welfare in the first and fun in the second.

As for the third category, then this is the one we will concentrate on. He is the one who is driven into a friendship due to mutual belief in the first establishment of virtue in both people.”

[The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge by Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd رحمه الله pg. 58]
