📍O Parents! Fear Allāh and nurture your daughters upon the obedience of Allāh

Most Beneficial of Brothers

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people.

The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger.

That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this masjid in Medina for a month.

Whoever swallows his anger, then Allah will conceal his faults.

Whoever suppresses his rage,

even though he could fulfill his anger if he wished,

then Allah will secure his heart on the Day of Resurrection.

Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him,

then Allah the Exalted will make his footing firm across the bridge on the day when the footings are shaken.

[Reportef by Ibn Umar (radiyAllahu anhu), al-Muʻjam al-Awsat‌ of at-Tabarani (rahimahullah), 6192]

STRUGGLE TO PUSH AWAY SADNESS FROM YOUR HEART

The best of the cures for sadness is to know that one cannot bring back what he has missed, rather by feeling sad he is adding another misfortune to the already existing misfortune ultimately making two misfortunes. Also a misfortune should not be made heavier by being saddened by it, rather it should be eased and pushed away.

Ibn ‘Amr said, “If Allāh takes something away from you, get busy with anything that will not make you think about it.” In addition, what Allāh gives you instead of what was taken away from you makes that easier. However, if there is nothing that can make the matter easier, then one should struggle to push away sadness from his heart.

THAT WHICH IS BLAME WORTHY OF BEGGING

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There are three persons who will get what they deserve. No servant is wronged by an oppressor and he forgives him for the sake of Allah but that Allah Almighty will support him. A man does not open the door of charity to strengthen family ties but that Allah will increase his wealth. And a man does not open the door of begging to usurp wealth but that Allah will increase his poverty.”

Source: Musnad Aḥmad 9624

Samurah ibn Jundub reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face. Whoever wishes may preserve his dignity and whoever wishes may abandon it, unless a man asks those in authority or he has no other way in the matter.”

Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1639

Qabisah ibn Mukhariq reported: I was under debt so I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I asked him about it. The Prophet said, “Wait until we receive charity, then we will order it to be given to you.” Then the Prophet said, “O Qabisah, begging is not lawful except for one of three cases: a man who is in heavy debt, so asking others is permissible for him until he pays it, after which he must stop; a man whose property is destroyed by a calamity, so asking is permissible for him until he can support himself; and a man who is afflicted by poverty attested to by three astute members of his people, so asking is permissible for him until he can support himself. O Qabisah, besides these three begging is forbidden and the beggar consumes what is forbidden.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1044

Sahl ibn al-Hanzalah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever asks from people, while he is self-sufficient, only increases his share of the embers of Hellfire.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, what amount of independence does not justify begging?” The Prophet said, “Enough to eat in the morning and evening.”

Surah Al-Kahf

Mālik bin Dīnār rahimahullāh said:

“Stay away from every companion who you do not benefit any good from”.

(Az-Zuhd {asceticism} by Ibn Abī ‘Āsim, 86).

While the prophet was giving the Jumu'ah Khutbah and the followers left him

وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ تِجَـٰرَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا ٱنفَضُّوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَآئِمًۭا ۚ قُلْ مَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ ٱلتِّجَـٰرَةِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ١١

62:11. When they see some merchandise or distraction, they rush towards it and leave you standing there. Say: That which is with Allah is better than any distraction or merchandise. And
Allah is the best of providers.[ Translation Al Quran 62:11]

This refers to an incident that occurred one Friday when the Prophet (PBUH) was addressing the people. A trade caravan came to Madinah, and when the people heard of it whilst they were in the mosque, they went out of the mosque and left the Prophet ( PBUH) addressing the people, and hastened towards
that to which they should not have hastened, forgetting their manners. [ Imam As Sa'di]

Narrated Jabir (RA):
... The people flocked towards it till no one was left [with the Prophet (ﷺ)] except twelve men. [Reported by Muslim].

It is Allah who provides. So whoever fears Allah, He will grant him provision from where he does not expect.

The sahaba would cry when they are told to fear Allah. Today when you advice a Muslim to fear Allah, he says "don't judge me."

Every word of truth sounds judgemental in the ears of a man whose heart is sickness.

Ibn al-Jawzi narrates that Said Ibn al-Musayyib said:

‎روى ابن الجوزي في "ذم الهوى" (ص: 164) بإسناده عن سعيد بن المسيب أنه قال: ما يئس الشيطان من ابن آدم قط إلا أتاه من قبل النساء
‘𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿 (𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗻), 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻.’

[‘Dham al-Hawa’, p. 164].

This is an arrow which rarely misses target.

It’s like a smart missile which always hits target.

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) was treated with cupping (hijama) three times on the two veins at the side of the neck and the base of the neck. [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3860), Sunan-Ibn-Maajah Hadith No: 3483].
Ibn al-Qaiyum (may Allah have mercy on him) mentions that the Messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) was cupped on his head when he was afflicted with magic and that it is from the best of cures for this if performed correctly. [Zaad al Ma’aad (4/125-126)].
Abdullah ibn Abbas reported that the Messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) was cupped on his head for
a unilateral headache while he was in Ihraam. [Sahih al-Bukhari (5701)]
The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) praised a person who performs cupping, saying it removes blood, lightens the back and sharpens the eyesight (Jamul Warsaai p. 179.
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) reported that the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was treated with cupping, and he paid the cupper his fee.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 10/124; Muslim 1202).

THE VIRTUES OF A GOOD MUSLIM BROTHER:

Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor surrender him. Whoever fulfills the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs. Whoever relieves a Muslim from distress, Allah will relieve him from distress on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever covers the faults of a Muslim, Allah will cover his faults on the Day of Resurrection.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2442, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2580

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those near Him. Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2699

‘Iyad ibn Himar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The people of Paradise are three kinds: an authority who is fair, truthful, and guided, a man who has mercy and kindness in his heart towards his relatives and every Muslim, and one who refuses to beg although he has dependents.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2865

Al-Bukhari reported: Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “If you intend to mention the faults of your companions, then remember your own faults.”

Ibn Qudamah said, “Beware of being preoccupied with rectifying others before you rectify yourself. Busy yourself with rectifying your heart within you and purifying it from blameworthy traits such as greed, envy, ostentation, and vanity before rectifying what is outside of you.”

Source: Mukhtaṣar Minhāj al-Qāṣidīn 1/20

Ibn Abdul Barr reported: Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Verily, from the character of the believer is strength in religion, determination with leniency, faith with certainty, eagerness for knowledge, sympathy with understanding, moderation in worship, mercy with effort, giving to those who ask, not wronging the one he hates, not sinning over the one he loves, dignified in turmoil, grateful in ease, content with what he has, speaking to impart understanding, being silent out of caution, and affirming the truth as a witness over him.”

اعقلها و توكّل
"Tie up your Camel and trust (upon Allah)"

توكل
Tawakkul in Allah means having full hope and placing complete reliance in Him.
However, we can understand what tawakkul means better by understanding Allah's beautiful name "Al Wakeel" the ultimate trustee, the guardian, the disposer of Affairs.
We are taught to frequently recite dua of Prophet Ibrahim Alayhissalam:
حسبنا الله و نعم الوكيل

Tawakkul is a belief that, in matters related to both this world and the hereafter, benefit and loss are from none except Allah Azzawajal.
Without His permission, even a leaf does not fall from the branch of a tree.
Everything, for its existence and survival, whether big or small, is subject to Allah's will alone.

In Quraan Allah says on multiple places about tawakkul and mutawakkil.
Allah says that HE loves those who have tawakkul in Him And He is enough for them:

فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ
🥀“And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him]
(Aal e Imraan: 159)

وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
🥀And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him.
(At Talaaq: 3)

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا
🥀"And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs."
(Al Ahzaab:3)

In general ‘wakeel’ is also a legal term which refers to a power of attorney, someone you trust whom you transfer responsibility trusting that he will make decisions on your behalf in best of your interests.
Allah is Al Wakeel, our Guardian and Protector, and always has our back.
We transfer responsibility to Him alone and entrust our affairs to Him to take care of us along with taking every worldly precaution, and submit to Al-Wakeel for the result.
Questions may rise:

🥀Anas ibn Malik reported:

A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave her untied and trust in Allah?”
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Tie her and trust in Allah.”
Sunan Tirmidhi 2517
Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani

The words of Prophet ﷺ "tie the camel" in this hadith means tying the camels foreleg with a rope.
We can comprehend it in other words like "lock your car" or "lock your door"
And right aftet here we start applying tawakkul in Allah in a particular matter.
If I don't lock my car or my door before leaving and say that Allah is there to look after it so I need not to worry, this shows I misunderstood the concept of tawakkul. This means having false hopes in Allah.

In practical terms, tawakkul completes with two things:

1. Depending on Allah and believing that He is the One Who causes measures to be effective.

2. Taking appropriate measures throughout we strive, having the conviction and confidence because we have already surrendered to Allah Subhanahu wata'ala, that HE will get us through to whatever is best for us because indeed He is the Trustee.

Here it is essential to believe that taking from the means of this world does not negate our trust in Allah rather doing this exerting our efforts in it is part of Twakkul.
One who refrains from doing so has gone against the laws and decree of Allah. Allah has commanded us to do so.
In case a person falls ill, he has to take medicines to recover but with the belief that unless Allah wills it for him, medicines will not be able to make him recover from his illness.
It means that employing worldly means is not against the spirit of Tawakkul.

In fact, this is the way Allah Rabbul Aalameen has designed the set up where a believer is supposed to employ worldly means with a firm belief that only when Allah wills, his work will get done.
He should have this concrete belief that unless Allah commands the medicine to serve as a cure, it will not lead to recovery and health.

We have examples from the lives of prophets and salaf(the pious predecessors)
When needed livelihood, they would go out and work for it, then leave their provisions to Allah.
Maryam Alayhassalam at the time of delivering the child took measures and went to the tree, shook it until dates fell:

🥀"And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates."
[Maryam: 19]

Before military expeditions, prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would prepare the army and wore armour and left the results to Allah Azzawajall.
When they fell ill, they took measures by turning to medication and other ailments as well as supplicating to Allah.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The people of Yemen used to come for Hajj and used not to bring enough provisions with them and used to say that they depend on Allah. On their arrival in Medina they used to beg the people, and so Allah revealed:
"And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is the fear of Allah."
[Al Baqarah: 197]

So the application is "𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑏𝑠, 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑚𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡. 𝐸𝑓𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑡𝑜 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑎ℎ"

🥀Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said:

“Strive to do that which will benefit you and seek the help of Allaah, and do not feel helpless.”
[Sahih Muslim]

♻️Maintaining a Balance between our trust in Allah and faith in Allah's decree (Al Qadr):

This is based upon our relation to our Lord.
A person who has tawakkul is a person who is constantly connected to His Lord whether he is in situations of ease or hardship.
In addition he is not excessive in his fear of the future.
All of us worry a little, and that is natural. We are human, and every now and then, we feel this uncertainty.
But it is about reminding ourselves to trust Allah at that precise moment.
Tawakkul requires training.
It requires strengthening our faith in Al Qadr.

🍃Two levels of Twakkul:

Having hope in Allah for what we think is good for us and,
Having faith in Allah that whatever He has decreed is however good for us and is to be accepted.
Both the levels go together.

And a believer always find solace in knowing that he did what he could, and that the result was up to the qadr (decree) of Allah Azzawajal.

🍀Tawakkul is an essential part of our faith. It's a form of worship and its fruits are achieved through a proper method, a training. Understanding and applying it in correct way is what helps us sail and get through life's ups and downs.
May Allah make us from the true Mutawakkileen.

And Allah knows best.

It was said, ‘If Loyalty was towards land, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would not have left Makkah.

If it was towards ones tribe, then he (Messenger ﷺ) would not have fought against his tribe Quraish.

If it was towards family he (Messenger pbuh) would not have disassociate himself from his uncle Abu Lahab.

But rather Loyalty is based on Aqeedah (faith), And it is more precious than blood and soil.’

Do not incur sin by being extravagant in eating.

The Sunnah encourages moderation in eating, and strongly criticises extravagance.

“and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allāh) likes not Al‑Musrifūn (those who waste by extravagance)”

SURAH IKHLAS — Love For This Surah Will Make You Enter Paradise ✨

Anas (رضي الله عنه) said:

"One of the Ansar used to lead the Ansar in Salat (prayer) in the Quba' mosque and it was his habit to recite Qul Huwal-lahu Ahad (Say: He is Allah the One, Surah No.112) (after Surat Al-Fatiha, Surah No. 1) whenever he wanted to recite something in Salat. When he finished that Surah, he would recite another one with it. He followed the same procedure in each Rak'ah.

His companions discussed this with him and said: "You recite this Surah and do not consider it sufficient and then you recite another. So would you recite it alone or leave it and recite some other." He said: "I will never leave it and if you want me to be your Imam on this condition then it is all right; otherwise I will leave you." They knew that he was the best amongst them and they did not like someone else to lead them in Salat.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) went to them as usual, they informed him about it. The Prophet (ﷺ) addressed him and said: "O so-and-so, what forbids you from doing what your companions ask you to do? Why do you read this Surah particularly in every Rak'ah?"
 
He replied: "I love this Surah."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Your love for this Surah will make you enter Paradise."

📚: Sahih Bukhari 774

Narrated from Amrah bint Abdur Rahman (رضى الله عنها):

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent a man in charge of an expedition, and he used to recite for his companions when leading them in prayer, and he would end (the recitation) with: "Qul Huwal-lahu Ahad (Say: He is Allah the One, Surah No.112)

When they came back, they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he (ﷺ) said: "Ask him why he does that." So they asked him and he said: "Because it is a denoscription of the Most Merciful and I love to recite it." 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) thereupon said: "Inform him that Allah loves him."

I advise you with five matters.....

Imam Qaasim al-Joo’ee said:
“I advise you with five matters:
(1) when you are treated unjustly, do not behave unjustly;
(2) when you are praised do not become happy;
(3) when you are criticised, do not become upset;
(4) when you are not believed, do not become angry;
(5) and if the people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully towards them.”

[Ibn al-Jawzee, Sifatus-Safwaa, 2/200]

Ibn al-Qayyim [rahimahullah] said,

When a person spends his entire day with no other concern but Allaah alone, Allaah [subhaanahu wa ta’ala] will take care of all his needs and take care of all that is worrying him. He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him, free his tongue so that it will speak only in remembrance of Him [dhikr], and cause all his faculties to work only in obedience to Him.

But when a person spends his entire day with no other concern but this world, Allaah will make him bear its distress, anxiety and pain. He will leave him to sort himself out, and cause his heart to be distracted from the love of Allaah towards the love of some created being. He will cause his tongue to speak only in remembering people instead of remembering Allaah. He will cause him to use his talents and energy in obeying and serving the people. This person will strive hard, laboring like some work-animal, to serve something other than Allaah.

Everyone who turns away from being a true slave of Allaah by obeying and loving Him, will be burdened with servitude to some created being. Allaah says in the Qur’an [interpretation of the meaning]:

And whosoever turns away [blinds himself] from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent, We appoint for him a shaytaan to be his Qareen [intimate companion]. (Sura al-Zukhruf, Ayah 36)

It was narrated that Anas [radi Allaahu anhu] said that the Prophet [sallal laahu alaihi wa sallam] said:

Whoever is mainly concerned about the Hereafter, Allaah will make him feel independent of others and will make him focused and content, and his worldly affairs will fall into place. But whoever is mainly concerned with this world, Allaah will make him feel in constant need of others and will make him distracted and unfocused, and he will get nothing of this world except what is decreed for him. (narrated by al-Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2389 and classed as Saheeh by Shaykh Muhammad Naasiruddin al-Albaani [rahimahullah])

Aspire to be among the people of Ilm

Awn Ibn ‘Abdillah رحمهما الله said:
“I said to ‘Umar Bin ‘Abdil-‘Azīz: ‘It was said (to me):
If you are able to be a scholar, then be a scholar. And if you are not able to do so, then be a student of knowledge. And if you are not able to be a student of knowledge, then love them. And if you can’t love them, then do not hate them.’

So ‘Umar رحمه الله said:
‘SubhanAllah! (Glory be to Allah!) Allah has indeed made a way out for this person.’”
[Kitaab al-‘Ilm p.g., 7]


Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud رضي الله عنه said:

أغدُ عالماً، أو متعلماً، ولا تغدُ بين ذلك

“Aspire to become a scholar or a student of knowledge, and do not aspire to become anything other than that.”
