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]”

O you who feel completely broken, Allaah is going to console you in a way you never imagined! Remember, this is the Sunnah of Allaah to give you a healing full of warmth when you need it the most. ❤️
When Rasool Allaah (Salla-Allaahu 'alayhi wasallam) lost his most beloved Khadijah (Radi-Allaahu 'anha) and the most supportive uncle Abu Talib, he ('alayhissalam) was taken to Mi'raj. SubhanAllaah! No wonder why he ('alayhissalam) was taken to experience this great Closeness to Ar-Rabb in this particular time when he needed Him the most!
Indeed, Allaah consoles His broken slaves at such peak times, if you notice!
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah laughs for the despair of His servant, as He will soon relieve him.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, does the Lord laugh?” The Prophet said, “Yes.” I said, “We will never be deprived of goodness by a Lord who laughs!”

🪴Allah has enjoined kindness in all things, as it says in the hadeeth: “Allaah is Kind and He loves kindness in all things.”
[Bukhaari 5678]
🐈 And kindness to animals is of upmost importance in Islam, and the reward of that is great:
🍂 Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
“A prostitute had once been forgiven. She passed by a dog panting near a well. Thirst had nearly killed him, so she took off her sock, tied it to her veil, and drew up some water. Allah forgave her for that.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 3321]
🐾Keeping animals (which are permissible to keep) and treating them with kindness is a praiseworthy action that reaps rewards with Allah:
🍃 The companions once asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
“O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for charity even for the animals?”
The Prophet said,
“Yes, in every living being there is a reward for charity.“
[Sunan Ibn Majah 3686]
🌿 But just as the reward for kindness to animals is great, is the punishment for failing to be kind to them is also great:
✨ The Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم
told us that a woman entered Hell because of a cat that she detained and did not feed it or let it eat from the vermin of the earth.
[Bukhaari 2365]
✨ And The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
entered a garden among the Ansar. When a camel saw the Prophet, it started weeping and making sounds as its tears flowed. The Prophet came to it and patted it on the head, so it became silent.
The Prophet said:
“Who is the master of this camel? To whom does it belong?”
🌼 A young man from the Ansar came and said, “This is mine, O Messenger of Allah.”
The Prophet said:
“Do you not fear Allah regarding this animal that Allah has put in your possession? Verily, she has complained to me that you keep her hungry and tired.”
[Sunan Abi Dawud 2549]
🍃 So we must fear Allah with regard to how we treat animals and treat all of them (including those which are haram to eat and haram to keep as pets) with upmost kindness when we interact with them.
And Allah knows best 🤍

Every person’s main worry & concern is Rizq (Sustenance)
This overwhelming worry can lead to tension and high stress levels. When we take our gaze off of Allah, we start to feel like the burden of our sustenance is completely on our shoulders.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "If you place your trust completely in Allah, as it ought to be, then surely you will be provided sustenance in the manner that birds are provided sustenance. They leave in the morning with their belly empty and return in the evening with their belly full." (Tirmidhi 2344)
We need to take a lesson from the birds and learn to trust in Allah. We should make reasonable efforts to provide for ourselves, but we should always remember that our ultimate provision comes from Allah. This will bring much relief and peace to our lives.
I place my complete reliance and trust in Ar-Razzaq, the All-Provider. It is not my diplomas, degrees, or my signatures on contracts or business deals that guarantee my provision. It is only through His loving mercy that He provides for me, His sinful servant, even without asking.

🌷*Looking for a Healing? Try Hijaamah*🌷
by Asma bint Shameem
Are you sick? Have you been suffering from an ailment or disease? Or maybe you’re just exhausted and tired?
Well, there’s a way out of all that Bi idhnillaah.
And that’s through *Hijaamah* or *Cupping*.
🍃The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“The *BEST* treatment you can use is Hijaamah (cupping).”
(al-Bukhaari 5371)
🍃 And he said:
“Healing is to be found in three things: drinking honey, the knife of the *cupper*, and cauterization of fire.”
(al-Bukhaari 10/136)
🌷*Hijaamah is a Sunnah of the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam *
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam himself got Hijaamah done on himself and so did the Sahaabah.
🍃 Ibn ‘Abbaas radhi Allaahu anhu said
that the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam
was treated with Hijaamah, and he paid the cupper his fee.”
(al-Bukhaari 10/124, Muslim 1202).
🌷*Hijaamah is so good even the Angels recommend it!*
🍃 The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“I did not pass by any group of angels on the night of the Isra’ [the Prophet’s night journey when he was taken from Makkah to Jerusalem and back in the course of a single night], but all of them said to me, “You should use cupping, O Muhammad.”
(Ahmad - saheeh by al-Albaani)
🌷*So what is Hijaamah exactly?*
Hijaamah is also called wet cupping. It’s where a trained individual makes very tiny superficial (virtually painless) “cuts” on certain parts of the body, using a sharp blade and then applies special suction cups over the area and some of the blood oozes into the cups.
Hijaamah is non-invasive, quick and easy and least painful, yet very effective to cure a lot of ailments from acne to arthritis to heart disease to fatigue with the permission of Allaah Alhamdulillaah.
AND it’s the recommendation of our beloved Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam.
🔺 *Any specific days?*
Do keep in mind that there are no authentic reports from the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam specifying a certain day of the month for getting hijaamah done.
According to the majority of the scholars, the ahaadeeth about specific days or dates on which hijaamah is to be done are not authentic.
So you can get hijaamah done ANY time of the month, especially if it’s needed.
🍃 Imaam Maalik
was asked about cupping on Saturdays and Wednesdays, and he said:
“There is nothing wrong with that; there is no day on which I have not had cupping done, and I do not regard any of that as makrooh.”
[Al-Muntaqa Sharh al-Muwatta’ (7/225)]
🍃 The scholars said:
“Most of the leading scholars have stated that all the hadeeth in these two categories (about hijaamah) are da‘eef and not one of them is soundly narrated from the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam.”
(Islamqa Fatwa # 128170)
🍃 And they said:
“(Cupping is permissible) on all days, even Saturdays and Wednesdays.
In fact Maalik deliberately used to have cupping done on those days, and he did not regard any kind of medical treatment as makrooh on those two days.
The ahaadeeth which warn against cupping on those days were not regarded as saheeh by Imaam Maalik.”
[al-Fawaakih ad-Dawaani (2/338)]
🍃Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn Mahdi said:
“There is no saheeh report from the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam concerning the TIMING of cupping; however he enjoined doing it.”
[al-Mawdoo‘aat (3/215)]
🍃Al-Bardha‘i said:
“I saw Abu Zar‘ah not confirming any hadeeth about cupping being makrooh on a particular day or being mustahabb on a particular day.”
[Su’aalaat al-Bardha‘i (2/575)]
🍃Al-‘Aqeeli said:
“No report has been proven sound about this matter – i.e., the best day for cupping.”
[Ad-Du‘afa’ al-Kabeer (1/150) ]
🍃Ibn al-Jawzi said about the ahaadeeth regarding the days of cupping:
“None of these ahaadeeth are saheeh.”
[al-Mawdoo‘aat (3/211-215)]
🍃 Imam an-Nawawi said:
“To sum up, nothing is proven about the prohibition on cupping on particular days.”
[al-Majmoo‘ (9/69)]
So now that you know about the benefits of Hijaamah, what are you waiting for? :)

LIFE IS SHORT; CHERISH THE HAPPY MOMENTS
The intelligent person knows that real life is the life lived in happiness and tranquility, and that this life is very short. Therefore, he should not make it even shorter with anxiety and endless worries. This contradicts a meaningful existence. Let him be tenaciously stingy with his life and not allow large portions of it to be robbed from him by anxieties and worries.
This is applicable to the righteous and the wicked; however, the believer has the greatest share of this and the beneficial portion in this life and the next.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated,
"At the start of the day, the sun has the status of its youth. And at the last part of it, it has the status of it being in its older age and this is something that is known by way of experience."
Whoever grows up as a youth upon something, grows old upon it. Therefore, that which the person is at the beginning of the day, holds to be true about him for the rest of the day. If it is upon vigor, then the rest of the day will be vigorous. If it is upon laziness, then the rest of the day is upon laziness.The matter of staying up late at night (especially in this time of ours) is considered to be from the magnificent calamities and the great tribulations.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all"
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed".

“When some people said to Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (rahimahullaah) that they felt uneasy about criticizing people, he replied, ‘If you remain silent and I remain silent, then who will make the ignorant person aware of the authentic from the defective?'”

You have to fully trust Allāh & understand that His plan is based upon His timing, His process & His calculation. Being in a rush is the foundation of chaos. The processes of the universe are in no rush. A pregnant mother is in no rush. The sun in its setting and rising is in no rush. The birds are in no rush. Everything in mathematically organized in a process.
So if you want to hasten things (and it’s likely due to some form of pleasure you want to enjoy as your motivation for doing this), it’s likely that instead of acquiring what you want, you’ll be sent months backward.
Trust Allāh and do the work today in peace. Everything will come in its due time. Be responsible with the present. Don’t reduce the quality and standards of your life by trying to hasten the process that’s naturally time taking. Don’t be in a rush.
Stay relaxed. Work with a relaxed mind. Be patient.
When you supplicate sincere and live your life as a responsible Muslim that prioritizes his religion, healthy and business with true power and discipiline, within weeks things will align in your favor.
Don’t waste time. Don’t rush things. Don’t be controlled by your lusts, or money, or your private part.
Carefully recognize your duty and with a sharp supervision scan your own nonsense and toxicity that’s getting in the way. Remove it. Tolerate no disorder.
Do the work. This is the only path.

God created men and taught him how to live to earn His pleasure by choosing role models — the prophets. He sent written laws and declared openly that His laws and demands are very simple.
Men, being a free specie, misused this simplicity and comlexified it to gain control over the believers in God. As an example:
Men started reading "Qur'an" and it was demanded to read the tafsir and asbab al nuzul (circumstances of revelation) to understand Qur'an better. All good.
"Qur'an and tafsir" but it was again demanded to read hadith (Prophetic traditions) to better understand the former two.
"Qur'an, tafsir and hadith" but it was again demanded to read the (mustalah al hadith) science of hadith and ilm al rijaal (character evaluation of the narrators of the hadith) to understand the hadith and identify the forged hadith by knowing which "men" among the narrators of the hadith was reliable or unreliable. This added further bunch of books.
"Qur'an, tafsir, hadith, science of hadith, evaluation of narrators" and man expected his job was done but he was told he need to understand everything he read through the lenses of first three generations of Islam. This added bunch of other books.
"Qur'an, tafsir, hadith,science of hadith, evaluation of narrators, lives of first three generations of Islam" and the man thought his salvation is achieved but he was informed of fiqh (jurisprudence) which is necessary in making decisions and he must read the popular jurists of Islam.
"Qur'an, tafsir, hadith,science of hadith, evaluation of narrators, lives of first three generations of Islam, fiqh" in quest for Paradise but he was informed he must read the scholars of Islam to be on the right path.
Fair enough, he did that but he was again policed, taunted, labeled and mocked for not formally passing from a madrasah.
He attended madrasah as well but he was still not accepted as the madrasah belonged to people of different "group".
These abuses will continue by the people who claim to be the proprietor of religion as they love to control and police people.
Continue your quest for knowledge with sincerity and in an aim to earn the pleasure of God. May God accept all our sincere efforts.

Umm zakriyyah al Albani :
We live in a time where people who fabricate hadith, sing anasheed, take selfies and crack jokes on the pulpit are seen as mashaykh?
But then ask them who Shaykh Bin Baaz, Shaikh al Albani, Shaikh ibn Uthaymeen, Shaikh Muqbil, Shaikh Ahmed an Najmi..
Just few names from recent times that have passed away may Allah have mercy on them.
From the present, Shaikh Saalih al Fawzan, Shaikh Rabee bin Haadi, Shaikh Muhammad bin haadi, Shaikh Abdul Muhsin, Shaikh Abdullah Bukhaaree, Shaikh Ubaid Al Jabari and the list goes on..
The response will be blank.
We must know the people of knowledge and not the pretenders and entertainers.
Wallahi people think going to get ilm has to be some cinematic experience with jokes and free mixing 'llow it.
Always marriage talks.
Watering down the religion, that's what it is. May Allah protect us from misguidance. آمين

Be optimistic !
The believers should be optimistic and not pessimistic or cynical. There are no omens in Islam (or signs that predict the future), but the believers are always expecting the best from Allah even if they do not know exactly how it will be.
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا طِيَرَةَ وَخَيْرُهَا الْفَأْلُ
There are no omens, but the best of it is optimism.
They said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is optimism?” The Prophet said:
الْكَلِمَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ يَسْمَعُهَا
A righteous word one of you hears.
In another narration, the Prophet said:
وَيُعْجِبُنِي الْفَأْلُ الْكَلِمَةُ الْحَسَنَةُ الْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ
I am amazed by optimism, the good word, the kind word.

عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ، " مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَمْرَضُ، إِلاَّ كُتِبَ لَهُ مِثْلُ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ "
[الأدب المفرد 500]
On the authority of ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr (may Allāh be pleased with him):
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There is no one who falls ill, except it is recorded for him (good deeds) similar to what he used to do while he was healthy.”
[Al-Albānī graded it authentic (Ṣaḥīḥ) in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 500]
