Treating a Muslim like a business is not from ihsan.
We help and attend to each other's needs out of love for Allah and to please Him. If you are only good to them because of the worldly benefit they bring to you, and neglect or harm them when they're no longer beneficial for you, then fear Allaah for you are dealing with Him.
"Verily Allah said: Whoever shows enmity to a pious worshiper of Mine, I declare war against him." [Bukhari]

Moses (عليه السلام) was sent with greatness, Jesus (عليه السلام) was sent with beauty, and Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was sent with perfection [both combined]
Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said:
في شريعته زمن اللين والعفو والصفح ومكارم الأخلاق أعظم مما في الإنجيل وفيها من الشدة والجهاد وإقامة الحدود على الكفار والمنافقين أعظم مما في التوراة وهذا هو غاية الكمال ولهذا قال بعضهم بعث موسى بالجلال وبعث عيسى بالجمال وبعث محمد بالكمال .
“In [the Prophet’s] Sharīʿah there is an era of gentleness, forbearance, pardon and noble manners greater than that which is in the Gospel and within it is severity, jihād, and establishing the prescribed punishments upon the disbelievers and hypocrites greater than that which is in the Torah and this is utmost perfection. Hence, some of them said: 'Moses was sent with loftiness, Jesus was sent with beauty, and Muhammad was sent with perfection [i.e. both combined].'” Al-Jawāb al-Ṣaḥīḥ (5/86).

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, looked at the Ka’bah and said,
“How great are you and how great is your sanctity!
Yet, the believer has greater sanctity to Allah than you. Verily, Allah sanctified you once and sanctified the believer thrice in his life, his wealth, and to not assume evil about him.”

*Sanctity= the state or quality of being holy, sacred,
the quality of being very important and deserving respect.

Increasing wealth is not disliked:
Imam Ibn al-Jawzi said:

['Sahih Bukhari', 6344].

THE REMORSEFUL SLAVE

SHAYTHAAN; THE CANCER WITHIN

Allāh (ﷻ) says
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّهَ يَجِدِ اللّهَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[An-Nisa 4:110]
Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn Abbas commented about this Ayah, "Allāh informs His servants of His forgiveness, forbearing generosity and expansive mercy. So whoever commits a sin, whether minor or major,..."
ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّهَ يَجِدِ اللّهَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
but afterwards seeks Allāh's forgiveness, he will find Allāh Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful
...even if his sins were greater than the heavens, the earth and the mountains."
Imam Ahmad (رحمه الله) recorded that Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:
Whenever I hear anything from the Messenger of Allāh, Allāh benefits me with whatever He wills of that. Abu Bakr told me, and Abu Bakr has said the truth, that the Messenger of Allāh said, *"No Muslim commits a sin and then performs ablution, prays two Rak`ahs and begs Allāh for forgiveness for that sin, but He forgives him. He then recited
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّهَ يَجِدِ اللّهَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
[4:110]
And also
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَـحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُواْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُواْ اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُواْ لِذُنُوبِهِمْ
They are those who, upon committing an evil deed or wronging themselves, remember Allāh and seek forgiveness and do not knowingly persist in sin and who forgives sins except Allāh?
[Al-Imrān 3:135]
[Taken from Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
The key to purifying yourself in the Dunya, is to repent to Allāh (ﷻ) sincerely and with conviction and the intention to never do it again!
To repent is to be successful, because then the Shaytaan is driven back on multiple fronts!
1. He failed to stop you from repentance for the sin he seduced you to do!
2. He failed in keeping that sin held against you!
3. He runs away from you burnt by your repentance and your remembrance of Allāh (ﷻ)!
Strike Shaytaan back and strike Hard!
He is the relentless enemy, the enemy that does not eat or sleep.
The enemy that exploits everything to his advantage!
Don't let your guard down! Don't let this enemy get into your heart,
Wallahi, he is a cancer that destroys from within.
May Allāh (ﷻ) forgive all of us and grant us success in this world and the hereafter.

A question asked can a woman go to Hajj without a mahram following her?
Alhamdulillah, there are various opinions among scholars and the majority of scholars say it is not allowed for her to go to Hajj without a mahram to follow her.
This is from the Hadith,
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No man should stay with a lady in seclusion except in the presence of a Dhu- Muhram." A man stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My wife has gone out intending to perform the Hajj and I have been enrolled (inthe army) for such-and-such campaign." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Return and perform the Hajj with your wife."
Sahih al-Bukhari 5233
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No man must not be alone with a woman except in the presence of her (Mahram). No woman should travel except in company of a (Mahram)." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have been enrolled for such and such expedition, and my wife left for Hajj." He (ﷺ) said to him, "Go and perform Hajj with your wife." [Al- Bukhariand Muslim].
Riyad-us-Saliheen.
Book 8, Hadith 35.
So it is obligatory for one to accompany her.
Some scholars say if she is travelling with other women of her country and fears no harm will occur, she is free to go but the husband if he has wealth should follow his wife to the prilgrimage.
May Allah guides us and grants us halal wealth to perform his ibadah. Aamin

Aishah (R) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
“An army will raid the Kabah and when it reaches a desert land, all of them will be swallowed up by the earth” She asked; “O Messenger of Allah! Why all of them?” when they have their markets with them and those who are innocent. He answered, “All of them will be swallowed by the earth but they will be raised for Judgement according to their intentions.”
[ Al-Bukhari and Muslim ]
Before the Last Hour, a people with a huge army will attack the Ka’bah. This hadeeth contains an important lesson: whosoever accompanies the people of falsehood, transgression and enmity will surely suffer the same punishment as theirs. The righteous and the unrighteous; when the torment comes, it afflicts the righteous and the unrighteous, the pious and the sinful, the believer and the unbeliever, the one who establishes the prayers and the arrogant. It will not spare anyone. Then they will be raised on the Day of Resurrection according to their
intentions.

EVERY NAME WHICH LEADS TO THE SERVICE OF OTHER THAN ALLAH IS PROHIBITED!
Chapter No: 50, Kitab At-Tauhid, The Book of Monotheism
Allah عز وجل said:
فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَٮٰهُمَا صَـٰلِحً۬ا جَعَلَا لَهُ ۥ شُرَكَآءَ فِيمَآ ءَاتَٮٰهُمَاۚ فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ
"But when He gave them a Salih (good in every aspect) child, they ascribed partners to Him (Allah) in that which He has given to them. High is Allah, Exalted above all that they ascribe as partners to Him. (Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.9, Page 148)." (7:190)
Allamah Ibn Hazm (رحمه الله) said that Muslims were collectively agreed upon the impermissibility of every name which means service to anyone other than Allah عز وجل such as Abd-'Umar (slave of 'Umar), Abd-Al-Ka'bah (slave of the Ka'bah), and like that except Abdul-Muttalib.
Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) commented upon the above verse of Qur'an as such:
When Adam had sexual relation with Eve, she became pregnant. At that time Iblis (Satan) came to them and said "I am the one who caused your expulsion from Paradise. Obey me, otherwise I shall cause your child to grow two horns like a deer by which he will puncture your belly when he comes out! I will do it! I will do it!" Satan thus frightened them (Adam and Eve) and said to name the boy "Abdul-Harith;' (slave of the earth cultivator). They (Adam and Eve) did not obey him (Satan) and a dead child was born to them. When Eve became pregnant a second time, Satan again approached them and repeated the same demand but again they did not obey. And the second child was still born dead. She [Eve] became pregnant a third time, Satan again came to them and put the same demand mentioning what had happened before. Adam and Eve were overcome by love for the child and named the boy "Abdul-Harith (slave of the earth cultivator)". And this is what Allah said (in the verse): "They made partners with Him for what they were given". [Reported by Ibn Abi Hatim]
He (Ibn Abi Hatim) also reports with a Sahih chain from Qatadah (رحمه الله) that he said[1]:
"They made partners in giving obedience along with Him but not in worship beside Him."
He (Ibn Abi Hatim) also reports with a sound chain from Mujahid (رحمه الله) regarding the verse:
"If you give us a Salih (good in every aspect) child, ..." (7:189)
that they (Adam and Eve) were frightened that the child might not be human. Such a meaning was mentioned by Hasan, Sa'id and others.
IMPORTANT ISSUES OF THE CHAPTER
1) Any name which implies worship of others than Allah is forbidden.
2) Explanation of the verse in Al-A'raf (7:189).
3) This Shirk is concerned only with the naming though its actual implied meaning was not intended.
4) The gift of Allah to a man of a normal girl is also of His favours.
5) The pious predecessors made a distinction between Shirk in obedience and Shirk in worship.
[1] Note: The above quoted Hadith is said to be weak. Hafiz Ibn Kathir رحمه الله and Allamah Al-Albani رحمه الله ranked it weak "Da'if" (Publisher).

OPPRESSION
Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is oppressed.
🔘The Prophet ﷺ was asked: “It is right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” He replied: “By preventing him from oppressing others.”
{Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Hadith 624}
🔘 Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,
“Whoever has oppressed another person concerning his reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before the Day of Resurrection when there will be no money (to compensate for wrong deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good deeds will be taken from him according to his oppression which he has done, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on him.”
{Volume 3, Book 43, Number 629: Sahih Bukhari}
🔘 Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,
“A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection .”

“Whoever has oppressed another person concerning his reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before the Day of Resurrection when there will be no money (to compensate for wrong deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good deeds will be taken from him according to his oppression which he has done, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on him.”
{Volume 3, Book 43, Number 629: Sahih Bukhari}
🔘 Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,
“A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection .”
{Book 43, Volume 3, Number 622: Sahih Bukhari}

The look after of the parents is more importent than Jihad
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr Radi Allahu Anhu A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) asking his permission to take part in Jihad. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Are your parents alive?" He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, Then strive yourself in their service.
Sahih Bukhari, Book 52, Hadith 248
It was narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulami, that Jahimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah Sal-Allahu Alaihi wasallam, I want to go out and fight (in Jihad) and I have come to ask your advice." He said: "Do you have a mother?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet."

✒️Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllahu Anhu) narrated that loving others is one of five things the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said we should act on:
‘Who will take these words from me, so that he may act upon them, or teach one who will act upon them?’
So Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllahu Anhu)said:
‘I shall O Messenger of Allah!’
So he (sallallaahu alaayhi wa salam) took my hand and enumerated five (things), he said:
1. Avoid the prohibitions and you shall be the most worshipping among the people,
2. Be satisfied with what Allah has allotted for you and you shall be the richest of the people,
3. Be kind to your neighbour and you shall be a believer,
4. Love for people what you love for yourself and you shall be a Muslim.
5. And do not laugh too much, for indeed increased laughter kills the heart.

*This Dunya doesn’t care about you*
_No matter how much you believe the world is for you, it is always against you_
_If you died today, the world continues without you tomorrow_
_The world doesn’t wait for the sad people to feel better, it moves anyway._
_The world doesn’t wait for the sick people to heal, it continues regardless_
_The world doesn’t pause the mourn for the death of anyone; it goes on with or without you_
_The world is not for you. The more you believe the world is yours, the more you will be given reasons to be proven otherwise_
_Live life with the acceptance that you are here for a temporary amount of time, with a purpose that needs to be fulfilled with patience and trust_
_With that mindset whatever calamity hits you will be deal with easily, whereas living with the mindset that the world is a place for fun, you will be crushed over and over again. ____

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام when the world gets too much to bear. To go back to prayer and tawakkul in Allah even when things seem bleak, hard and dark. I calm and align my heart thinking about the mountains of pain he must have felt when he lost all 14 of his children.
I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and I am shy to ask Allah for release from my hardship knowing he bore his hardships that are exponentially greater than mine. Ayyub was shy to ask Allah for release from his hardships because Allah blessed him for 80 years, he was prepared to be tested for 80 years.
I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and I am grateful for my tribe. During his hardship his close family and his friends started doubting his piety and said things like "If he was a great person, Allah wouldn't have done this to him", "We don't know what sin Ayyub committed that Allah is punishing him so severely".
I remember Ayyub عليه السلام crying knowing his hardships lasted for 18 years where everyone close and afar gave up on him, knowing I have family and friends who love me and haven't given up on me.
I remember Ayyub عليه السلام smiling because I know a Muslim is tested according to the level of their religiousity. I smile thinking HOW MUCH Allah must have loved him to test him so severely and I smile knowing Allah loves me too and every slave that He azza wa jal tests.
I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and it makes me grateful to Allah that my heart will be like the heart of Ayyub in Jannah.
I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and learn not to attribute my difficulties to Allah. Ayyub never attributed his hardships to Allah. He rather said "Oh My Lord, HARM HAS AFFLICTED ME."
Remember Ayyub عليه السلام everytime you are about to give up on this world and it's hardships. Nothing worthy is achieved without pain in this duniya and in akhira. Jannah is surrounded by trials and hardships. Glad tidings to those who patiently endure seeking countenance of their Lord.
❝Stranger is the matter of the believer, anything that happens to him is good.When something good hapens to them they thank Allah, when something bad happens to them they are patient.❞
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
[Sahih Muslim 2999]
🤲 May Allah raise our ranks through our tests in this duniya and akhira and grant us the blessing of seeing His Face in Jannah - Allahumma ameen.

♻️ The Prophet ﷺ: ❝Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.❞
Ubayy bin Ka`b رضي الله عنه narrated: When a third of the night had passed, the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ stood and said:
❝O you people! Remember Allaah! Remember Allaah! The Raajifah (violent commotion i.e. the first blowing of the trumpet) is coming, followed by the Raadifah (the second blowing of the trumpet); death and what it brings is coming, death and what it brings is coming!❞
I said: O Messenger of Allaah! Indeed I send a lot of prayers upon you. How much of my prayers should I make for you? He ﷺ said:
❝As you wish.❞
I said: A fourth? He ﷺ said:
❝As you wish. But if you add more it would be better for you.❞
I said: Then half? He ﷺ said:
❝As you wish. And if you add more it would be better [for you].❞
I said: Then two-thirds? He ﷺ said:
❝As you wish, but if you add more it would be better for you.❞
I said: Should I make all of my prayers for you? He ﷺ said:
❝Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.❞
