If You Were To Truly Place Your Trust In Allaah
Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him:
فلو توكل العبد على الله تعالى حق توكله وكادته السموات والأرض ومن فيهن لجعل له مخرجا من ذلك وكفاه ونصره.
"If the slave places his trust in Allaah as He truly deserves, and the heavens and the earth with all its inhabitants were to plot against him, Allaah would surely make a way out for him, suffice him, and aid him."

****Method of self-ruqya
1) Sit down in a quiet area with the intention to make ruqya on yourself. Ensure there are no children running around or the tv is not on in the background. You shouldn't be disturbed. Have a glass of water and a 2 or 5 liter bottle of water handy.
2) Seek refuge in Allah from the shaytaan three times - Aouthubillahi min-ash-shaytaan arrajeem
3) Mention the name of Allah three times - bismillahir-rahman nir-raheem
4) Read sura fatiha three times
5) Read ayatul kursi three times
6) Read last two ayaat or surat al baqarah three times
7) Read sura ikhlas / falaq / nas three times each
8 ) Recite ayaat of sihr three times each - 2:102 / 7:115 - 121 / 10:79 - 82 / 20: 65 - 70
9) Spittle into the glass of water and also spittle into the bottle of water
10) Drink the water in the glass. Ensure you say bismillah
11) Drink the water in the bottle in the morning / evening / night
12) Make ghusl with the remaining water in that bottle ie. Pour that water over your head and ensure it touches all of your body (it's best you don't let the ruqya water go down the drain so whenever possible put the plug in and collect the water, put it into the garden afterwards inshallah).
13) Each day you should be reciting into a fresh bottle and drinking it three times a day and making ghusl with it at night - any water is fine including tap water insha'Allah
14) If you have movements in your stomach or bloatedness then purchase senna leaves and make tea with them and drink every day for two weeks
15) Drink a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of black seed oil every day
16) You can also put some of the water you've recited on into a spray bottle and spray the corners of every room in your house
17) Make duaa

The Value of Patience and Silence
You will come across people who put on a face in front of you because they need something from you. They will say all of the things you like to hear. They will pretend they are something which they are not.
If things don't work out, or if you are unable to help them due to circumstances beyond your control, they will be quick to blame you and attack your character. They will disrespect you and show complete ingratitude for any and every good you did for them.
They will then try to save face by attempting to take back what they said to you in the sneakiest of ways while playing victim, and in their pathetic attempt to get some sort of affirmation for their lowly ways, they make fools of themselves.
How did all of this happen? By you not reciprocating insults with them, by remaining respectful regardless what they say, and best of all, eventually blocking them from your life and not even bothering to respond to them.
Our Messenger ﷺ guaranteed a house in the middle of paradise for one who leaves off argumentation even if he is right. He ﷺ told us that in certain situations, silence is salvation. Allāh instructed us to show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish.
Strive to be among the friends of Allāh, because if you achieve this rank, then Allāh declares war on those who harm you. That is the best way to use your energy. Don't waste your time on toxic people, worship Allāh and turn to Him for help, and He will take care of your adversaries for you in ways you would never be able to do nor imagine.
Patience is bitter, lots of sadness will be experienced and some tears will come down, but the outcomes are sweeter than honey.
If Allāh is with you, if you are getting His support, then nobody can harm you or get in your way. Move forward and don't look back nor have any regrets.
May Allāh protect us and our families. AAMEEN

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
Don't nurse grudge and don't bid him out for raising the price and don't nurse aversion or enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour.

Distress, Pain & Anxiety For One Who Turns His Full Attention Towards The Affairs Of This Worldly Life Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said: “When a person spends his entire day with no other concern but Allaah alone, Allaah, may He be glorified, will take care of all his needs and take care of all that is worrying him; He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him, free his tongue so that it will speak only in remembrance of Him (dhikr) and cause all his faculties to work only in obedience to Him. But if a person spends his entire day with no other concern but this world, Allaah will make him bear its distress, anxiety and pain; He will leave him to sort himself out, and cause his heart to be distracted from the love of Allaah towards the love of some created being, cause his tongue to speak only in remembering people instead of remembering Allaah, and cause him to use his talents and energy in obeying and serving them. So he will strive hard, labouring like some work-animal, to serve something other than Allaah… Everyone who turns away from being a true slave of Allaah and obeying Him and loving Him will be burdened with servitude, love and obedience to some created being. Allaah says: ‘And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allaah), We appoint for him a shaytaan (devil) to be a qareen (intimate companion) to him.’ [al-Zukhruf 43:36].” Al-Fawaa’id, p. 159 Torontodawah.com

The fact that you're struggling doesn't make you a burden. It doesn't make you unloveable or undesirable or underserving of care. It doesn't make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles.
Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren't always easy to be around and that's okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren't all of who you are and they certainly don't discount your worth as a human being.
The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness.

Hajj Akbar Yaum ul Hajjil Akbar
Question: what is the meaning of the "Day of the Greatest Hajj" and the "Greatest Hajj"? Are they synonymous? Or, do they differ in meaning? Are they both in the Glorious Qur'an and authentic Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet)?
Answer:
The greatest day of Hajj is the Day of Sacrifice, which is the tenth day of Dhu’l-Hijjah. Abu Dawood narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood up on the day of Sacrifice during the Hajj that he performed and said: “What day is this?” They said, “the Day of Sacrifice.” He said, “This is the greatest day of Hajj.” Sunan Abi Dawood, 1945; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1700.
Al-Bukhaari (369) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) sent me amongst the announcers to proclaim in Mina on the Day of Sacrifice, “After this year no mushrik is allowed to perform Hajj or to circumambulate the House naked.”
The Day of Sacrifice is called the greatest day of Hajj because during that night there is the standing at ‘Arafah and staying overnight in al-Mash’ar al-Haraam, and during that day there is the stoning of the Jamrah, offering the sacrifice, shaving the head, tawaaf and saa’i, which are all actions of Hajj. The day of Hajj refers to the time and the denoscription of greatest refers to the actions done at that time. The greatest day of Hajj is mentioned in the Qur’aan where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And a declaration from Allaah and His Messenger to mankind on the greatest day (the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah — the 12th month of Islamic calendar)” [al-Tawbah 9:3]
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
