If they remind you of Allāh & encourage you to do good, hold them tight and never let them go. Those people are rare nowadays!

Bilal bin Sa’d رحمه الله has said:

“A brother who reminds you of Allaah when you meet him, is better than a friend who places a dinar in your hand every time you meet him”.

["Hilyatul Awliyaa", 5/225]

Abū uways mentioned: “Are we supposed to think like Abubakar sadīq or bill gates?” Are you always thinking of how to only gather the dunyā, make money or how to achieve Allāh’s pleasure & work for jannah to the best you can? [ Lecture: Dealing With The Reality Of The Dunyā! ]

📌Think before you speak, and avoid useless talk!

The Prophet ﷺ said:

A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire.

Shaitan may have whispered in our ears, but we gave him the chance, cause Shaitan is not strong, we are rather weak in Iman. May Allah guide us all الى الصراط المستقيم

“Do not show off concerning acts of generosity you give to people regarding religious and worldly needs, seeking fame by doing so, to display your superiority above them by boasting about your generosity.

Rather, be kind to people, as much as you can, try and forget your acts of kindness towards them, and never seek a reward for these good acts except from Allah.”

~ Shaykh Abdur Rahman Nasir al-Sa'di رحمه الله

[Tafsir Surah al-Muddaththir, 74:6]

“Sometimes life will make you fall down. Even if you do your best, some days are not going to go your way. But it is also true that things will change and you will rise again. Even if you have to wait a little longer and try more than once, you will overcome whatever it is that is that is hurting your heart. Maybe right now, life is testing your patience and perseverance, your willingness to try again. Hang in there. Go easy on yourself. Keep going even on the days you don’t feel like it, and remember, just beacause it’s taking time doesn’t mean it’s not happening”.

**The THREE Types of Oppression**

Oppression is of 3 types:

1. A type that will never be forgiven by Allāh [for one who dies upon it]. It is to associate partners with Allāh:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ
“Verily, Allāh forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship.”
(al-Nisāʾ, 4:48)

2. A type that Allāh does not abandon the holding of accounts in relation to, not even a small portion. This is the oppression that occurs from one of His slaves to the other. From His perfect justice is that He allows His servants to exact vengeance on one another on the Day of Judgement proportional to the degree of oppression that had occurred between them [in this dunyā].

3. A type that is subject to the Will of Allāh. If He wills, He punishes in relation to it and if He wills He forgives its perpetrators. This type relates to the sins of the servants which are between them and Him, but have not reached the level of shirk.

Beware: The Evil-Eye Can Come From Someone Who Did Not Even See That Which He/She Has Afflicted

Ibnul-Qayyim [رحمه الله] said:

❝The one who puts the evil-eye on another not only has an effect based upon that which he has seen. Rather, perhaps the blind person has something described to him, thus his soul is affected by what he didn't even see. Many of those who put the evil eye on others do so based on something being described to them without even seeing it.❞

[Zad Al-Ma'ad, (Page: 117) | Translated By Raha Batts]

✨The Heart is the King of the Body✨

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said:

أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ

"There lies within the body a piece of flesh. If it is sound, the whole body is sound; and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Indeed, this is the heart." (1)

Ibn Rajab commented upon this hadīth saying:

"For this reason, it is said that the heart is the king of the body parts, and the other limbs and body parts are its soldiers. So they are soldiers who are obedient to him, they are dispatched in his obedience, and they implement his commands. They do not oppose him in any of this.

If the king is upright, then his soldiers will be upright; and if he is corrupt, then his soldiers will similarly be corrupt." (2)

Prophet YUSUF (Joseph)(Alayhis-Salaam) REVEALS Himself

The caravan set out for Egypt. The brothers - on their way to see the chief minister (Joseph) -
were poor and depressed.
On reaching Egypt they collected Judah and called on Joseph, to whom they pleaded:

"O ruler of the land! A hard time has hit us and our family, and we have brought but poor
capital, so pay us full measure and be charitable to us. Truly, Allah does reward the charitable." (Ch 12:88).

At the end, they begged Joseph. They asked alms of him, appealing to his heart, reminding him that Allah rewards alms givers. At this moment, in the midst of their plight, Joseph spoke to them in their native tongue saying:

"Do you know what you did with Joseph and his brother when you were ignorant?"
They said: "Are you indeed Joseph?"
He said: "I am Joseph, and his is my brother (Benjamin). Allah has indeed been Gracious to us.
Verily, he who fears Allah with obedience to Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds), and is patient, then surely, Allah makes not the reward of the good doers to be lost."
They said: "By Allah! Indeed Allah has preferred you above us, and we certainly have been
sinners." (Ch 12:89-91)

The brothers began to tremble with fear, but Joseph comforted them:

"No reproach on you this day, may Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who
show mercy!" (Ch 12:92)

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said

If you want a small picture of the Day of Resurrection, go out to the cemetery, where you will find the honorable and the lowly, male and female, young and old, all of them equal, all of them under this earth, none of them has a palace, no one has servants, they have nothing.
That is why it was said: The first justice of the Hereafter is the graves.

شرح البلوغ (2/608)

The fear of losing your loved one will always be there. But if you are with someone who is devoted to you as much as you are devoted to them and leaves no doubt of their love towards you, you won't be afraid they can be stolen from you by any living creature. Then the only one who can snatch them from your arms will be death. And when your love is true, even death can't separate you. Yes, it has power over human lives and can take their bodies away from you at any time, but their souls won't forget and wait for you in the afterlife. Death is not an epilogue. It's an intermezzo, a tunnel from one world to another.

THIS IS WHY WE LEARN AQEEDAH.

Iblīs and the Tree 🎄

Ḥasan al-Basrī (rahimahullah): There used to be a tree that was being worshipped instead of Allāh. A man went to the tree with the intention of cutting it down.

The devil came to him in human form and asked: “What are you aiming to do?”

The man responded: I will cut it down.

The devil said: “Let me suggest something better for you. Do not cut it down and you shall find two dinars every morning under your pillow.”

The man replied: “Who would guarantee me this?”

The devil said: “I would.”

On the following day the man saw two dinars under his pillow. But on the following day, he did not see the money again as expected, so he again went to cut down the tree.

The devil came to him in his (true) shape and asked him: “What do you wish to do?”*
He replied: “I want to cut down that tree because it is being worshiped in place of Allāh.”

The devil responded: *“You lie. You have no power to do so.”

The man continued walking but the devil threw him down and began chocking him and said: “Do you know who I am? I am the devil.”

“Initially you were angry for Allāh’s sake, so I had no power over you. I deceived you with the two dinar promise. Later you became angry for the sake of the two dinars, so I was able to over power you.”

No home should be without black seed!

The Prophet ﷺ said its a cure for every disease except death and there are hundreds of studies and historical records going back thousands of years to back it up!

Some of the many health issues it can heal or help with are:

• weight loss
• lowers blood sugar
• lowers cholesterol
• eczema
• hair loss
• muscular aches
• pain relief
• allergies
• cardiovascular issues
• anxiety
• diabetes
• asthma
• anti-cancer
• HIV
• epilepsy

In fact the list could go on and on.

You can take 1-2 tsp daily with or without food (recommend with food for SunnaHealing black seed as its strong) for most health issues.

Rub oil on pain areas, dry skin issues and scalp and hair.

Can boil or steep the seeds to make and infusion/decoction ie tea.

Also can add the seeds to stews, curries, breads, smoothies and much more. I experiment all the time!

Backbiting against the wrongdoer/ oppressor:

Ibn Taymiyah Rahimahullaah is of the view that is allowed to backbite the wrong-doer under all circumstances, viewing this as a kind of retribution.

In his Minhaaj As-Sunnah, he says, “The lawful part of this (i.e., backbiting) is what is declared lawful by Allah and His Messenger, that is, the act the serves as some sort of retribution and bringing justice back, such when the complainer says, 'So and so hit me, took my money, denied my right, etc.'

Allah, the Exalted, says, (what means):

{Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged. And ever is Allah Hearing and Knowing.}

[Quran, 4:148]”

INNOVATION SICKENS THE HEART

Al-Hasan Al-Basrī رحمه الله said:

"Do not sit with a person of Bid'ah, for indeed he will cause your heart to become sick."

[Al-'Itisām, 26]

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in surah al-Talaq:

"And whoever has taqwa of Allah, He will make a way out for him ‐ and give him provisions from where he does not expect."
__

ibn al-Jawzi رحمه اللّه said about this ayah;

Allah's provisions may come in the form of making it easy for a person to be steadfast in the face of a trial.

[Sayd al-Khatir pg. 634]
