It is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (s) told us about UFOs.

Narrated Usaid bin Hudair:

That while he was reciting Surat Al-Baqara (The Cow) at night, and his horse was tied beside him, the horse was suddenly startled and troubled. When he stopped reciting, the horse became quiet, and when he started again, the horse was startled again. Then he stopped reciting and the horse became quiet too. He started reciting again and the horse was startled and troubled once again. Then he stopped reciting and his son, Yahya was beside the horse. He was afraid that the horse might trample on him. When he took the boy away and looked towards the sky, he could not see it. The next morning he informed the Prophet who said, "Recite, O Ibn Hudair! Recite, O Ibn Hudair!" Ibn Hudair replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My son, Yahya was near the horse and I was afraid that it might trample on him, so I looked towards the sky, and went to him.

HEADACHES 📚Abu Said al-Khudri radiallahu anhu that the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam said:
‎صُداعُ المؤمنِ ، أو شوكةٌ يُشاكُها ، أو شيءٌ يُؤذيه ؛ يرفعُه اللهُ بها يومً القيامةٍ درجةً ، ويُكفِّرُ عنه بها ذنوبَه
“The headache that afflicts the believer, or a thorn that pricks him/her, or anything that harms him/her, Allah will raise him/her a degree on the day of resurrection and expiate his/her sins due to it”
[Saheeh Targheeb no. 3434]
Also, not having headaches is a bad sign because the people destined to go the Hell-fire do not have headaches:�Abu Hurairah radiallahu anhu said:
The Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam said:�: فَهل وجَدْتَ هذا الصُّدَاعَ ؟ . قال : وما الصُّدَاعُ ؟ قال : عِرْقٌ يَضْرِبُ على الإنسانِ في رأسِهِ . قال : وما وجَدْتَ هذا قطُّ ! فلمَّا ولَّى قال النبيُّ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ : مَنْ أحبَّ أنْ ينظرَ إلى رجلٍ من أهلِ النارِ ؛ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إلى هذا
“…Have you ever felt a headache? The man said: What is a headache? He sallau alayhi wa salam said: A vein that beats in the head of a person. The man said: No I have not experienced that ever! The Prophet sallahu alahyhi wa salam said: Whoever would like to see a man from the people of the Hell-fire, then look at this man!”
[Reported in Ibn Hibban and graded Hasan Saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh Mawaarid no. 580]
Having headaches are a sign of the People of Imaan and the People of Jannah.
Hafidh Ibn Rajab rahimahullah said:�وصداع الرأس من علامات أهل الإيمان وأهل الجنة�“…And headaches are from the signs of the People of Imaan and the People of Jannah..”�[Lataaif al-Maa’rif pg. 153]
Then he brings the above Hadith and others.
‎عَنْ أَبِي الزَّيَّاتِ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ , قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ نَعُودُهُ , فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: مَا لِأَمِيرِكُمْ؟ وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَمِيرٌ , قُلْنَا هُوَ شَاكٍ قَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا اشْتَكَيْتُ قَطُّ , أَوْ قَالَ: مَا صَدَعْتُ قَطُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ:” أَخْرِجُوهُ عَنِّي لِيَمُتْ بِخَطَايَاهُ , مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِكُلِّ وَصَبٍ وَصَبْتُهُ حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ , وَإِنَّ وَصَبَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يُكَفِّرُ خَطَايَاهُ
On the authority of Abu Zayyaat al-Qushairi rahimahullah said: “We entered upon Abu Darda radiallahu anhu to visit him, when a Bedouin entered upon him. So he said: Where is your Ameer? And Abu Darda was the ameer then. So we said: He is complaining of some pain. The man said: I have not complained of anything or he said: I did not experience a headache ever! Abu Darda radiallahu anhu said: Remove him from me, so he dies from his sins. I do not love that for every pain/sickness that I feel that I am given red camels. For verily, the pain/illness of a believer is an expiation for his sins”�[Reported by Bayhaqi in Shuab al-Imaan no. 9436 and the Muhaqiq of the Book Mukhtaar Ahmad Nadwi graded it Jayyid]

May Allah grant u ease comfort strength and peace Aameen ❣️

*Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali رحمه الله said:*

“Whoever is mindful of Allāh when he is young and strong, Allāh will take care of him when he is old and has become weak, and will bless him with good hearing, eyesight, strength and reasoning.

One of the scholars who lived beyond the age of one hundred years and enjoyed good strength and reasoning, jumped up in a lively manner one day and was asked about that. He said: “I kept these physical faculties from sin when I was young and Allāh has preserved them for me now that I am old.”

The opposite also applies; one of the salaf saw an old man begging from people and said: “This is a weak man who ignored Allāh when he was young, so Allāh is ignoring him now he has grown old.”

*[Jaami’ al-‘Uloom wal-Hikam, 1/186]*

From Anas bin Malik –Radhi Allaahu anhu– said: ‘I used to serve the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – and when he would take a break on his journey, I would hear him saying a lot:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

‘O Allaah indeed I seek refuge with You from anxiety and sadness and weakness and laziness and being miserly and being cowardly and having a burdensome debt and being overpowered by people.’

[Collected by Bukhari]

Allaahumma inni Audhubika min al-Humm wal Huznn wal Ajz Wal Kasl wal Bukhl wal Jubnn wa Dhalla’ ad-Dayyn wa Ghalabut ar-Rijjal.

Ibn al-Qayyim commented on this Dua:

‘The Messenger sought refuge from eight matters, and every two have an affiliate:

Anxiety and sadness have a connection and they are both, pain of the soul and they torture it. The difference between them is:

Anxiety is expecting evil in the future, and sadness is feeling pain for a disliked matter which occurred in the past or missing out on a precious opportunity. Both anxiety and sadness are painful and punishment which befall the soul, so if it is connected to the past then it is called sadness and if it is connected to the future it is called anxiety.

Incapability and laziness are affiliated and they are both from the means of pain, because they both necessitate missing out on a precious opportunity.

Incapability dictates not having the ability. Laziness dictates not having the intent, so the soul feels pain due to missing out on a precious opportunity. Its amount is relative to how much the soul is attached to that opportunity that it missed out on, and the delight for it when it is attained and from its sweetness.

Being cowardly and miserly are affiliated because they do not benefit with wealth and physically, and they are from the means of pain. This is because a cowardly person misses out on beloved matters, happiness and great delight which cannot be acquired except with sacrifice and courage. Miserliness also prevents that which is much lesser than delight etc. These two characteristics are the greatest means for pains.

A burdensome debt and being overpowered by people are affiliated and they are painful for the soul and torture it. One is a truthful overpowering, which is being burdened with a debt and the second is a false overpowering, which is being overpowered by people. Also, a burden of debt is overpowering, generally due to reasons by the worshipper, the overwhelming of being overpowered by people is without choice.’

[Badai’ al-Fawaid 2/207]

Abu Dharr reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said:

‎قال الله تبارك وتعالى يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلَا تَظَالَمُوا

"O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.”
-Sahih Muslim 2577

Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله reported that Ali ibn Abi Talib رضي الله عنه said:

"𝘼 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙙𝙪𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚."

The virtue of Isha and Al Fajr prayers

Abu Hurayra {R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah, ‎ﷺ said, "And if they only knew what was in the prayers of 'Isha' and Subh [Fajr], they would come to them even if they had to crawl."
📚 [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Uthman bin ‘Affan (R.A)‎ reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "One who performs Isha' prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat for half of the night. And one who performs the Fajr prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat the whole night.''
📚 [Muslim]

Abu Hurairah (R.A) ‎reported :
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No Salat is more burdensome to the hypocrites than the Fajr (dawn) prayer and the `Isha' (night) prayer; and if they knew their merits, they would come to them even if they had to crawl to do so.''
📚 [Al-Bukhari & Muslim].

All people have flaws: the blind King’s story

Imam Shafi'ii says in a poem:
لسانك لاتذكر به عورة امرئ
فكلك عورات وللناس ألْسُنُ
وعينك إن أبدت إليك معايبا
فدعهاوقل ياعين للناس أعينُ
''𝙇𝙚𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧,
𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙚
𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤!
𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙚𝙮𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙪𝙥𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧,
𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙮:
“𝙊 𝙢𝙮 𝙚𝙮𝙚! 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤!””

Once upon a time, there lived an honest king who was blind in one eye. He asked some painters to paint him correctly, but hide his flaws. One of them painted him with two eyes. The king put him in prison for flattery and dishonesty, as the king had lost one eye. The second person drew him with his flawed eye. The king put him in prison as well, for highlighting the kings flaws. The third painter was clever, he painted the king from the side angle - hiding his flawed eye. The king rewarded him.

The moral of the story is, all people have flaws and people try to hide their flaws.

If you notice other people's flaws and shortcomings, pretend you don't see it.

An Hadith to reflect.
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A time will soon come when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the placesof rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion from afflictions."
Sahih al-Bukhari 19.

This Hadith teaches us that a time will come when religious hardship and the Deen will turn strange and a person will have sheep as his best property and will take them and live on a mountain to be able to practice his deen and free from the prosecution of his religion.

As the prophet PBUH said,
A time will come when holding unto the Deen will be like holding upon a coal of fire
Sahih.

May Allah protects us and our eeman. Aamin

❗️REASON FOR LOSS OF BARAKAH FROM TIME ❗️

🎓Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) warned:

If you see your time pass by and your life go, and you have not produced anything worthwhile or beneficial and you do not find any blessing in your time then be wary that the statement of Allah has overcome you:
“And obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost.” [Al-Kahf: 28]

➡️The Shaykh (رحمه الله) also said:

And in this ayah is an indication to the importance of (having) presence of heart when performing dhikr of Allah. And that the person who remembers Allah with (only) his tongue and not his heart, (then) the barakah (blessing) is removed from his actions and his time to the extent that his deeds become lost.

📚Shaykh Uthaymeen’s Tafseer of Soorah Al-Kahf Page 62

THE GRAVE IS DARK & LONELY

READING SURA-MULK EVERY NIGHT PROTECTS THE READER AGAINST THE PUNISHMENT OF THE GRAVE

'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (radhiAllahu 'anhu) said:
"Whoever reads ‘al-Mulk’ every night, Allaah will protect him from the torment of the grave. At the time of the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), we used to call it al-mani’ah (that which protects). In the Book of Allah, there is a chapter [and] whoever recites it every night has done very well."

[Sahih at-Targhib wat-Tarhib, no. 1475]

Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah’s Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,
"Verily, there is a chapter in the Qur’an which contains thirty Ayat that will intercede on behalf of its reciter until he is forgiven. (It is): ‘Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion.’"

[This Hadith was collected by At-Tirmidhi and the four Sunan Compilers. At-Tirmidhi said concerning it, “This is a Hasan Hadith.”]

He (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used to recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Mulk (in Arabic) before sleeping.

[Reference: At-Tirmithi, An-Nasa’i. See also Al-Albani, Sahihul-Jami ’ As-Saghir 4/255]

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) saying,

"There is a Surah in the Qur’an which contains thirty Ayat which kept interceding for a man until his sins are forgiven. This Surah is ‘Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion.’
(Surat Al-Mulk 67)."

[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]

Commentary from Riyad-us-Saliheen:

This Hadith means that on the Day of Resurrection this Surah will intercede with Allaah for the forgiveness of its reciter. This Hadith has been narrated (in Arabic) in the past tense because, like the past indefinite, its occurrence is definite and not open to inquiry. At some places, however, it has also been narrated in the present tense.

Imam Sufyaan Ath-Thawree:

"Three qualities are from patience:
not speaking about your misfortune, (not speaking about) your pain, and not praising yourself"

(Al-Hilyah, 6/389)

What does fear do to our body? Fear comes from satan

Quran 3:175: It is only the devil who would make (men) fear his partisans. Fear them not; fear Me, if ye are true believers.

Fear prepares us to react to danger. Once we sense a potential danger, our body releases hormones that slow or shut down functions not needed for survival such as our digestive system and sharpen functions that might help us survive such as eyesight. Our heart rate increases, and blood flows to muscles so we can run faster.

So what happens when we are living in constant or chronic fear? Weakens immune system: Fear weakens our immune system and can cause cardiovascular damage, gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome, and decreased fertility. It can lead to accelerated ageing and even premature death.

Impair memory: Fear can impair formation of long term memories and cause damage to certain parts of the brain, such as the hippocampus. This can make it even more difficult to regulate fear and can leave a person anxious most of the time. To someone in chronic fear, the world looks scary and their memories confirm that.

Slow brain processing functions: Fear can interrupt processes in our brains that allow us to regulate emotions, read non-verbal cues and other information presented to us, reflect before acting, and act ethically. This impacts our thinking and decision making in negative ways, leaving us susceptible to intense emotions and impulsive reactions. All of these effects can leave us unable to act appropriately.

Long term mental health problems: Other consequences of long-term fear include fatigue, clinical depression, and PSTD.

DO NOT LET THIS FEAR GET TO YOUR MIND, BODY AND SOUL.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has divided mercy into one hundred parts; and He retained with Him ninety-nine parts, and sent down to earth one part. Through this one part creatures deal with one another with compassion, so much so that an animal lifts its hoof over its young lest it should hurt it".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has one hundred mercies, out of which He has sent down only one for jinn, mankind, animals and insects, through which they love one another and have compassion for one another; and through it, wild animals care for their young. Allah has retained ninety-nine mercies to deal kindly with His slaves on the Day of Resurrection."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another narration in Muslim is reported: by Salman Al-Farisi: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has hundred mercies, out of which one mercy is used by his creation for mutual love and affection. Ninety-nine mercies are kept for the Day of Resurrection."

Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah created one hundred units of mercy on the Day He created the heavens and the earth. Each one of them can contain all that is between the heaven and the earth. Of them, he put one on earth, through which a mother has compassion for her children and animals and birds have compassion for one another. On the Day of Resurrection, He will perfect and complete His Mercy". (That is He will use all the hundred units of mercy for his slaves on that Day).

Du’a and Patience

I think part of the test is when a believer supplicates and receives no response, and he repeats the du’aa for a long time and sees no sign of a response. He should realize that this is a test and needs patience.

[Ibn al-Jawzi (Rahimahullah), Sayd al-Khaatir, pg. 59-60]

Don't think that by worshipping Allaah, you're doing Him a favor. Allaah does not need us but we need Him.

All your efforts—may it be bad or good deeds—are all for yourself.

Greed is a destructive force that can harm a person in many ways. A man’s greed is more dangerous than two hungry wolves in a flock of sheep.

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Beware of greed, for it was only greed that destroyed those before you. It commanded them to be miserly and they did so. It commanded them to sever their family ties and they did so. It commanded them to behave wickedly and they did so.”
