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.

At times, in life, you feel like a candle that burned itself to light a room full of blind people!
شمعة ضحت بنفسها لتضيء غرفه اعمى!
You try hard to help people, but they don’t appreciate it.
It feels hopeless, like planting seeds in a barren land!
People are ungrateful, they will always let you down.
But if you make your endeavours for the sake of God, it will not go to waste, you will still be rewarded for it, even when people are ungrateful to you.

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".

YOUR LIFE IS DEPENDENT UPON YOUR THOUGHTS
Know that your life is dependent on your thoughts. So if your thoughts revolve around things that will benefit you in your religion or worldly affairs, then your life will be pleasant and happy. The opposite is also true.

Regarding the difficulty of criticizing innovators, Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) relayed the following quote:
“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?'”
[Majmoo’-ul-Fataawaa of Ibn Taimiyyah (28/231)]

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.

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.

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.

It's awe-inspiring to realize that our current existence is just the beginning of our journey.
We have a vast path ahead of us. This life serves as a test, and our actions here will shape our progression to the next stages of existence.
It's a reminder of the significance of how we live and the impact it will have on our eternal journey.
It's astonishing how many individuals put immense effort into planning for their future or retirement but neglect to prepare for their eternal Hereafter.
They may toil tirelessly, sacrificing their time and well-being for luxurious vacations in exotic destinations, yet fail to dedicate the same level of commitment to prepare for the everlasting rewards of Paradise.
This discrepancy highlights the need for a balanced approach, where we prioritize securing our eternal abode over temporary pleasures, recognizing the profound significance of preparing for the Hereafter, which will last indefinitely.
We have a vast path ahead of us. This life serves as a test, and our actions here will shape our progression to the next stages of existence.
It's a reminder of the significance of how we live and the impact it will have on our eternal journey.

The Muslims With Taqwa Don’t Serve Cold Dishes Of Vengeance…
The Tābi Artdah b. Al-Mundhir [رحمه ﷲ] said:
“The believer does not seek vengeance for the sake of himself. The Qur'an and Sunnah have prevented him from that. He has been restrained.”

Don't use the Qadr as an excuse !
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Man is not commanded to refer to the concept of the divine decree with regard to the deeds that are enjoined upon him, rather he should refer to the concept of the divine decree with regard to calamities that he has no means to ward off. Whatever befalls you as the result of other people’s actions or otherwise, bear it with patience, accept it and submit. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“No calamity befalls, but by the Leave [i.e. Decision and Qadar (Divine Preordainments)] of Allaah, and whosoever believes in Allaah, He guides his heart [to the true Faith with certainty, i.e. what has befallen him was already written for him by Allaah from the Qadar (Divine Preordainments)]”
[al-Taghaabun 64:11]
One of the salaf – either Ibn Mas’ood or ‘Alqamah – said: This is the man whom calamity befalls and he knows that it is from Allaah, so he accepts it and submits. Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (7/278).

#DuaoftheWronged
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Fear the prayer of the oppressed, even if he is a disbeliever, for there is no barrier (between it and Allah).”
[Narrated by Ahmad, 12140; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Targheeb wa’t-Tarheeb, 2231]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (رحمه الله) said,
"All of mankind, both believers and disbelievers, ask of Allah and Allah may answer the supplication of the disbeliever. If the disbelievers ask Allah for provision, He grants them provision and water. If harm touches them at sea, they will turn to no one except Him. Then when He brings them safely to land, they turn away and man is ever ungrateful." End quote.
[Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 1/206]
He (رحمه الله) also said in :
"With regard to answering the prayers of those who ask, in general terms Allah answers the supplication of the one who is in distress and of the one who is wronged, even if he is a disbeliever." End quote.

Yahya b. Mu'aadh ar-Raazee (d. 258H) rahimahullaah said:
"The 'Ulamaa (scholars) are more merciful to the Ummah of Muhammad (ﷺ) than their mothers and their fathers.”
It was said to him: ‘How is that?’
He said: “Since their mothers and their fathers protect them from the fire of this world whereas the scholars protect them from the fire of the Hereafter.”

I'm not afraid of death as muslim but I am afraid of the grave. Our first day in the grave, we have no idea how it feels to be in the grave. A new life, a new home and a new environment, grave is the first part of meeting Allah. Let's ask ourselves, if we are to die now? What deeds do we have to show before Allah ? Good or Bad? Death is the one and only reality we can never escape. Our wealth, academic qualifications, family status, lineage, beauty or rank in office cannot save us, nothing can save us except good deeds. Asp takes 7-8 mints
Fajr takes 6-8 mints
Zuhr takes 7-10mints
Magrib takes 5-7 mints
Isha takes 10 - 15 mints
Only 40-50 mints to pray 5 times a day. And if still you are not giving this much time to your creator then you must think of The first day
in grave and the judgement day.
Try to pray. Give some time to ALLAH. YA Allah make the journey an easy for us, forgive, and grant us janatul Firdaus......Aameen
