The poet Arqala al-Kalbi lived in the era of Salahudin and he was short, so he compiled this poem:
لا تعجبَنَّ لِقِصري عندَ طولِهِمُ
فالفخرُ لِلَّيثِ، ليس الفخرُ للجَملِ
“𝗗𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀,
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻
𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹.”
(i.e. the Camel 🐫 is taller, yet the lion🦁 is king)
Dedicated to all the short … uhmm Lions 🦁

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.

'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.

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!

Du'as are accepted on Wednesdays between dhuhr and asr prayers.
Jabir Ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allâah be pleased with him) said, “ The Messenger of Allâah(peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated to Allâah in this Masjid (Masjid Al-Fath) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. His dua was answered on Wednesday between the prayers of Dhuhr and Asr. Jabir(may Allâah be pleased with him)said,” There wasn’t anything that was crucially important for me to have solved, except I called on Allâah during that hour of the day between Dhuhr and Asr knowing He would answer.”
Graded Hasan by Shaykh Al-Albani(May Allâah have mercy upon him) in Saheeh Adab Al-Mufrad.
Shaykh Hussain Awayaasha(may Allâah preserve him )said in his explanation of Saheeh Adab Al-Mufrad.
“The Messenger of Allâah (peace and blessings be upon him)supplicated to Allâah in this Masjid(Masjid Al-Fath )on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday” Masjid Al-Fath: is a Masjid located on the eastside at the top of a mountain stump. A person can ascend to this Masjid by two routes; one on the east and the other on the north side. This is the general meaning of Masjid al-Fath. It has also been said that Masjid Al-Fath is Masjid Ahzab or a Masjid on High ground. [ Fadl 2/174]
“His dua was answered on Wednesday between the prayers of Dhuhr and Asr” . Shaykh Al-Albani(may Allâah shower him with mercy) commented on this saying: If this companion wouldn’t have narrated to us that the prophet(peace and blessings be upon him)made Dua to Allâah during this hour we wouldn’t have known. The person present witnesses what the absent person doesn’t. This ahadeeth has significant meaning; since Jabir narrated the information when exactly his dua was answered. And this shows that the Dua for the Messenger(peace and blessings be upon him)was answered at that hour during Wednesday. Consequently Jabir began to do that same thing he saw Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) do on Wednesday between Dhuhr and Asr. End of Quote from the book.

"Make yourself such that you are always optimistic..." - Shaykh Inn Uthaymeen (رحمه الله)

People will never understand your pain until they experience it themselves. Until then it's easy for people to think you're emotional and dismiss you or even see you as a strange person. It's better to keep it to yourself, and pour out your heart to Allah azza wa jal than to ever seek comfort with people.

We all fall. We're human. But we rise. We get back up.
Circumstances and emotions seem overwhelming and insurmountable at times. Things can get *really* hard. It can seem like the lights go out and we're enveloped in darkness and we've no choice but to shrink back and succumb. To let ourselves fall. Because we feel unbearably alone.
But that's part of the story, that's part of the plan. In fact, it's the only way to really learn and get strong. We learn how to get back up on our own, and eventually rise to our feet and stay there through repeatedly pulling back up after falling down.
So if you're in that place right now after a fall, take it one day at a time. Breathe. Grab onto the surest, steadiest surface near or above you and hold on. Keep trying. Look up. You WILL rise.

Giving advice so frequently that people become bored is not wise.
Narrated Abu Wail:
Narrated Abu Wail:
Abdullah used to give a religious talk to the people on every Thursday. Once a man said, "O Aba Abdur-Rahman! (By Allah) I wish if you could preach us daily." He replied, "The only thing which prevents me from doing so, is that I hate to bore you, and no doubt I take care of you in preaching by selecting a suitable time just as the Prophet (ﷺ) used to do with us, for fear of making us bored."

❝When the people of Jannah will reunite, they will remember all the times they spoke about Jannah in this world. They’ll look back and laugh, at how short life was, and then smile, because beautiful is their final abode. The people of paradise will have all that they desire. One step into Jannah and they will remember no pain. They will say they never suffered, they will say they never cried. A dip in Jannah.
Oh how much we long for that moment. The moment where we reunite, we hug our loved ones once again, and thank Allāh for all the tests! How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allāh. We will thank Him for testing us, for loving us and for giving us more than anyone could imagine. A place of eternity, vast, beautiful, peaceful. Everything one can desire.
Be patient, oh beautiful slaves of Allāh, for our Lord is more Merciful than a mother is to her child.❞

Hardness of the heart
A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri:
“O Abu Sa’eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart.“
He said: “Soften it with dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the harder it becomes, but if a person remembers Allah , the hardness softens as copper melts in the fire. Nothing can soften the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allah , may He be glorified and exalted. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart. Forgetfulness is a disease, the cure for which is remembrance of Allah .”

As we find ourselves on this blessed day of Friday, remember to offer plenty of dua and send abundant salawat. This day holds a special significance in Islam and is a time when our dua are readily accepted.
Narrated from Jābir ibn ‘Abd-Allāh that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim who asks Allaah for something but He will give it to him, so seek the last hour after ‘Asr.” [Abu Dāwūd (1048) & al-Nasā’i (1389), classed saheeh by al-Albāni]
May Allah ﷻ grant you all tawfiq, make each of you steadfast in righteousness, and bestow upon you the greatest blessings of both worlds. Remember, your dua is a powerful connection to Allah. Use this blessed day to draw closer to Him.

That concept is Tawakkul (putting trust in Allah).
Tawakkul is more than just a belief or a concept; it is a way of life. It is the act of putting your trust in Allah and relying on Him to take care of all your affairs. It is a powerful tool that can help you navigate through the challenges of life with ease and grace.
As humans, we are wired to worry and stress about the challenges of this world. We worry about losing our jobs, our health, our loved ones, and our possessions. We worry about the future and the unknown. But, with Tawakkul, we can learn to let go of our worries and anxieties and trust in Allah's plan for us.
Tawakkul is not about sitting back and doing nothing. It is about taking action and then trusting Allah with the results. It is about doing your best and leaving the rest to Allah. It is about accepting the outcomes, whether they are favorable or not, and knowing that Allah's plan is always the best plan.
Allah (may He be Exalted) tells us in the Quran: "And (He) will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever places his trust in Allah, Sufficient is He for him, for Allah will surely accomplish His Purpose: For verily, Allah has appointed for all things a due proportion." Quran (Surah Talaq, 65:3).
By practicing Tawakkul, you can experience a sense of peace and tranquility that is hard to find in this world. You can learn to let go of your worries and anxieties and trust in Allah's plan for you. You can find comfort in the fact that Allah is in control of everything and that He will take care of you no matter what.
The Quran further makes it clear that Tawakkul is not an option but rather a requirement. Allah (may He be Exalted) says: “…and put your trust in Allâh if you are believers indeed. Quran (Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5: 23)"
So, I urge you to embrace Tawakkul in your life. Trust in Allah and know that He is always with you. Take action and then leave the results to Him. Accept the outcomes, whether they are good or bad, and know that they are part of Allah's plan for you. I pray that Allah grants you the strength and courage to embrace Tawakkul in your life and that it brings you peace and tranquility.

Do not fear except from Allaah!
Do not hope except from Allaah!
Do not trust except upon Allaah!
Do not rely except upon Allaah!
And entrust your affairs to Allaah, before the events and after they happen!
All your affairs, be content that they are in the Hands of Allaah!
Not just mere words, but live your life with this belief.
Do not fear anyone, no matter what his position, status, or designation. Do not fear anyone but Allaah!
Because you know, by necessity, the worse that a person can do to you is: implement what Allaah has already prescribed against you. He cannot harm you more than what Allaah has decreed.
Then why do you want to fear them?!
Fear Allaah, the Creator, and not the creation.
And whatever Allaah has Decreed, know, that it is only for your welfare and goodness, even if it appears to be evil and bad. Allaah knows and you know not.
The Prophet ﷺ said to Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما:
❝O young man! I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allaah and Allaah will protect you. Be mindful of Allaah and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, then ask Allaah [alone]; and if you seek help, then seek help from Allaah [alone]. And know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allaah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allaah had already prescribed against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2516) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
And the Prophet ﷺ said:
❝How wonderful is the case of a Believer; for all his affairs are good for him, and this applies only to a Believer. If something good happens to him, he is thankful for it and that is good for him; if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience and that is good for him.❞
