ASK ALLAH ALONE FOR HELP AND TRUST HIS DECREE...
Ibn Abbas narrated that he was behind the Messenger of Allah riding on the same mount, and he (ﷺ) said:
“O young man! I will teach you a statement (so remember it): Remember Allah and He will protect you. Remember Allah and you will find Him before you. Whenever you need to ask for something, ask Allah alone, and whenever you are in need of help, seek help from Allah alone. Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are dried.” [Sunan Al-Tirmidhi 2516; Sahih]
And in another narration:
“Remember Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and He will remember you in times of hardship. And know that what missed you was not going to reach you, and what has reached you was not going to miss you. And know that help comes with patience, relief with affliction, and hardship with ease.” [Musnad Ahmad 2803; Sahih]

#Ishraq is also known as Ad-Duha. But, Ishraq and #Duha both of them has got different rewards - names are same but the rewards are different.
[Ad-Duha, Chasht and Awwabeen] are same. Ahlul Biddah has fabricated the Ahadeeth about it, but the truth is they're all authentically the same. #Awwabeen is not offered after the Maghrib. Awwaabeen is Chasht in itself.
The #Niyyah for Ishraq is made right after the #Fajr: After offering the Fajr one has to sit and engage oneself in the #remembrance of Allaah (عز وجل) (i.e Dhikr or Qur'aan) without engaging in wordly talks till the sunrise, and after that one has to offer 2 Rakaths of Nawafil Salat ul Ishraq, and it's reward is equal to one complete Umrah or Hajj in full. (Full reward of Umrah/Hajj) plus protection from the fire of hell.
Where as; Salat ul Duha (also known as Salat ul Awwabeen and Salat ul Chast) that comprises of 2 or 4 or 6 Rakaaths, can be offered even 10 mins before (Salat ul Żuhr), it fulfills the Sadqah of 360 joints in one's body and it also expiates the sins. (Rewards of it has been recorded from Saheeh Narrations)
🌸 Shaykh Ibn Baaz (رحمه الله) said: Ishraaq prayer is Duha prayer done at the beginning of its time. Majmoo’ Al- Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 11/401
🌸 The time of Duha prayer is from the time when the sun has risen to a certain height, until just before the time for Żuhr prayer. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) defined it as being from a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen until ten minutes before Zuhr prayer. Al-Sharh Al-Mumti’, 4/122. So all of this period is the time for Duha prayer.
🌸 It is better to pray it after the sun’s heat has become intense, because the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “It is preferable to offer Duha prayer when the sun’s heat has become so intense that even the young of the camels feel it.” [Narrated by Muslim, 748 Ibn Baaz: Majmoo’ Fataawa, 11/395] The scholars defined this as being when one quarter of the day has passed, i.e., halfway between sunrise and Żuhr prayer. [See Al-Majmoo’ by al-Nawawi, 4/36; Al-Mawsoo’ah Al-Fiqhiyyah, 27/224]

And whoever behaves arrogantly towards Allah one degree, Allah will lower him in status one degree, until He makes him among the lowest of the low.”

🔗🔗 *A Disliked Qadr*🔗🔗
📝Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
*What a person should do if he has been afflicted with Qadr which he dislikes*
🎓Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:
‘_If a disliked Qadr crosses a person, then he has six considerations_:
The *first* -consideration is of Tawheed, and that Allaah is the One who destined it for him, willed it for him, created him. Whatever Allaah wants occurs and whatever Allaah does not want does not occur.
The *second* -consideration is of justice, and that it will occur with Allaah’s command. It is just in fulfilling Allaah’s justice.
The *third* -consideration is of mercy, and that Allah’s mercy in what has been destined is generally from Allaah’s Anger and recompense, His mercy is present but hidden and not apparent.
The *fourth* -the consideration of wisdom, that the Allaah’s Wisdom -Subhanahu- necessitated this destiny. Allaah did not destine this in vain or command it for no reason.
The *fifth* -consideration is of Praise, that all complete praise is for Allaah -Subhanahu- for this destined Qadr from whichever way you look at it.
The *sixth* -the consideration of servitude of worship, and that a person is purely a slave of Allaah from every point of view. The regulations of his Master apply to him and are carried out due to him being his master’s possession and His slave. So Allaah disposes him under His destined rulings just as Allaah disposes him under rulings of the Deen, therefore, the slave of Allaah has to conform and proceed with these rulings.

REMAINING SILENT WHEN BEING ABUSED
Once, a person was verbally abusing Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه while the Prophet ﷺ was curiously watching with a smile. After taking much abuse quietly, Abu Bakr responded after a few of his comments. At this, the Prophet exhibited his disapproval, got up and left. Abu Bakr caught up with the Prophet and wondered, ‘O Messenger of Allah, he was abusing me and you remained sitting. When I responded to him, you disapproved and got up.’ The Messenger of Allah responded,
‘There was an angel with you responding to him. When you replied back, Shaytan took his place.’

Think positive of Allah, Allah will be more than that. But if you think bad of Him, you have only yourself to blame.
Ibn al-Qayyim (R.A) said:
This highlights the difference between thinking positively of Allah and being deceived. If thinking positively of Allah motivates a person to strive in righteous deeds and it prompts him, helps him and drives him to do such deeds, then it is sound. If it causes him to be lazy and to persist in sin, then he is deceived. Thinking positively of Allah is hope, so if a person’s hope in Allah prompts him to be obedient to Him and deters him from disobeying Him, then it is sound hope; if he justifies his negligence on the basis of hope, and his hope prompts him to be negligentand heedless, then he is deceived.

According to most Mufassiroon, this verse of Surah Ad-Dhuha, which we all frequently recite in our daily prayers is one of theee top most hope inspiring verses in the Quran ,if not , the number 1 verse .
Surah Ad-Dhuha, Verse 5:
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
☆ 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 (𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢.𝐞. 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝) 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝.☆
They mufassiroon conclude , after combining this verse with many narrations that Allah here promises his beloved , a reward that shall truly make him happy and contended and according to the scholars our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم shall only be contended when his entire ummah who has not fallen info shirk , gets forgiven through his Shafa'ah ( intercession), frees out of fire, and enters eternal Paradise .
( ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى ) قال عطاء عن ابن عباس : هو الشفاعة في أمته حتى يرضى ، وهو قول علي والحسن . وروينا عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص أن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال : " اللهم أمتي أمتي وبكى ، فقال الله : يا جبريل اذهب إلى محمد فقل له إنا سنرضيك في أمتك ، ولا نسوءك فيهم "

!تو شمشيري ز کام خود برون آ
‘𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝘀𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵!’
The true potential of the sword is only realised once it’s out of its sheath.
Similarly, your will only realise your true potential once you come out of your comfort zones.
Most people will live ordinary lives unfortunately, due to lack of self-confidence.
They will not share their ideas in meetings, scared of being judged, they will not get job promotions, they will not try new things etc.
They are paralysed and chained by the shackles of fear.
Humans can achieve extraordinary things and thrive in life, IF they believe in themselves.
Self-confidence unleashes the beast within!
We all have an extraordinary energy supply within us, but it gets suppressed by our fears. Once we overcome our fears, this energy gets released.
Both chickens and eagles have wings, one remains captive to humans on the ground, the other soars the skies.
One of the best gifts we can give our children is self-confidence.
If you want to live your life to the fullest, you need to fight your fears, break this cage and soar the skies.

Trials At The End Of Time
Shaykh Sālih Ibn Fawzān Al-Fawzān حفظه الله said:
“Trials will increase and become greater as the end of time gets closer, until the major trials come, one after the other, in anticipation of the hour. A person lives through these trials and faces an increase in them towards the end of time. A person lives through trials up and until the point of death. Consequently, life may end in either a good or an evil way; we seek refuge in Allāh from the latter.”

When Allaah intends destruction for a nation, He تعالى makes the path of evil easy upon its people:
وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا تَدْمِيرًا
❝{And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allaah and be righteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of its population] who are given the good things of this life. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction.}❞

ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES
1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house.
2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority.
3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal development.
4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda.
5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain.
6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run.
7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip.
8. Invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.
9. Keep your life, marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important.
10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves.
11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out.
14.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects.. usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement..
15. Start a project whilst still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn't do well, start another one till it's running viably. When your project is viably running then retire to manage your business. Most people or pensioners fail in life because they retire to start a project instead of retiring to run a project.
16. Pension money is not for starting a project or buy a stand or build a house but it's money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health. Pension money is not for paying school fees or marrying a young wife but to look after yourself.
17. Always remember, when you retire never be a case study for living a miserable life after retirement but be a role model for colleagues to think of retiring too.
18. Don't retire just because you are finished or you are now a burden to the company and just wait for your day to die. Retire young or whilst energetic to enjoy waking up for a cup of coffee, enjoy the sun, receive money from your business, visit nice place that you missed and spend good time with family. Those who retire late, spend about 95% of their time at work than with their family and that's why they see it difficult to spend time with their family when they retire but end looking for another job till they die. If they don't get another job, they die early.
19. Retire at your house than at government accommodation so that when you retire you can easily fit into the society that raised you. It's not easy to adjust to live in a location after spending more years at company house or at government house.
20. Never let your employment benefits make you forget about your retirement. Employment benefits are just meant to make you relax, get finished whilst time is moving. Remember when you retire no one will call you boss if you don't have a viable business.
21. Don't hate to retire because one day you will retire either voluntarily or involuntarily.
1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house.
2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority.
3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal development.

'Uthman ibn 'Affan narrated the famous statement of the Prophet (ﷺ):
[ خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ]
❝The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it.❞
and this applies to both the wordings and the meanings of the Qur'an.
Allah has blessed this nation with generation after generation of dedicated reciters who learned the Qur'an word for word from their teachers and passed it forward to their students.
Allah has also blessed this nation with brilliant scholars among those memorizers who exerted themselves in attributing each of those ways of recitation to their transmitted chains and distinguishing between the authentic and non-canonical recitations and establishing the principles to distinguish between them.
Among those brilliant minds were:
-Abu Bakr ibn Mujahid (died 324AH) of Baghdad who made the list of the seven famous reciters out of the many master reciters available
-Abu 'Amr al-Dani (died 444AH) of Andalusia who adopted ibn Mujahid's list of seven and selected two main transmitters for each reciter out of the many students each reciter had
-al-Qasim al-Shatibi (died 590AH) of Andalusia who followed the selections of ibn Mujahid and al-Dani and then organized the principles of each qira'ah into poetic form for ease of memorization in his famous al-Shatibiyyah poem
-Ibn al-Jazari (died 833AH) of Damascus who added the remaining three reciters to ibn Mujahid's seven to make ten in his famous work al-Durrah. In this work he also adopted al-Dani's practice of selecting two main transmitters for each reciter and al-Shatibi's method of explaining the principles of each of them.
And so you see in the chart below the ten famous reciters and their two transmitters each.
All of these recitations are Qur'an, and all have unbroken oral chains of transmission that go back to the Prophet.

Introduction to the Ten Reciters and Their Transmitters

Things are not always as they seem.
The mother of Musa عليه السلام was told to throw her son in the river;
Yusuf عليه السلام was left in a well;
Maryam (may Allah be pleased with her) delivered a child alone;
Yunus عليه السلام was swallowed by a whale;
Ibrahim عليه السلام was thrown in the fire;
A’ishah رضى الله عنها was slandered throughout the city;…
Yet look at how it turned out for them in the end. So don’t worry, Allah has a plan for you.
And Allah's Plan is always THE BEST!
