Abdullāh b. Masʿūd Allāh be pleased with him said:
The example of the believer, the unbeliever and the hypocrite is that of three people who arrived at a valley. One of them descended and passed through to the other side.
One of them descended until he reached half way, when the third man on the edge of the valley called to him, “Woe to you, where are you going?
You will die. Come back.” The man who made it to the other side called to him, “Come and be saved.” So [the man in the middle of the valley] kept looking back and forth at the two [on each side of the valley], when a flood came into the valley and drowned him.
The man who passed through to the other side is the believer; the one who drowned is the munāfiq (hypocrite)
مُّذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ لَآ إِلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَلَآ إِلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ۚ
[The Hypocrites] sway between this and that, neither [fully] with the believers nor with the unbelievers.
Quran 4:143
And the one who remained at the edge of the valley [not able to escape the flood and pass] is the kāfir (unbeliever).

The deceased does not need someone to visit him every Friday to remove the grass and spray water on his grave. Rather, he is in need of supplications and charity to benefit him.

To all women. *Hidden Female Figures in Islamic History*
*Have you heard of Nusayba bint Ka'ab?*
The female warrior who courageously defended the Prophet (S) in several battles.
The one whom the Prophet (S) said about her at Uhud, "Whenever I looked to the right or left, I saw her fighting in front of me."
The one whom the Prophet (S) asked, "From where can anyone get courage like you, O Umm Umarah (her nickname)?"
*Have you ever heard of Rufayda bint Sa'ad?*
Also known as Rufayda al-Aslamiyyah, who was the first female nurse in Islamic history.
The Prophet (S) ordered the wounded and dying to be sent specifically to her tent during battles.
Learning medical knowledge from her father, she became an expert in the medical field, and began training other women companions to become nurses as well.
She was known as a kind, empathetic healer, as well as a compassionate social worker who took care of orphans, the handicapped and the poor.
*Have you ever heard of Um Mihjaan?*
The cleaner of the masjid, who beautified and maintained the Prophet (S)'s blessed mosque.
The one whom the Prophet (S) was upset when she passed away, because nobody had informed him of it.
"Why did you not inform me?'' he asked his companions.
He then asked to see her grave, and prayed his own individual Salat ul Janaazah over her.
👉Isn't it amazing that a woman was entrusted to take care of the masjid of Rasulallah (S), yet today several Muslim societies won't even let women into the masjid?
*Have you ever heard of Umm Sa'd Jamilah bint As'ad Ansariyyah?*
A noble teacher of Islam.
It is reported that Dawud ibn Husayn, a companion of the Prophet (S), used to take Qur'anic lessons from her.
According to ibn Athir, Umm Sa'd had memorized the Qur'an and used to give regular lessons.
*Have you ever heard of the female companion who owned her own farm?*
She employed many men to work under her, she was their boss, and they tended to her crops.

Like the wife of Abdullah ibn Masud, who was the main breadwinner of her family, making handicrafts by her own hand and selling her goods in the marketplace.
*Have you heard that Aisha bint Abu Bakr was actually considered a "Muftiyah" meaning a female Mufti?*
Did you know that noscript could even exist for women?
Men and women would come from all over the Islamic world to consult her about the Shariah, and she would perform ijtihad and issue fatawa.
There are several times where she even corrected the fatawa of other sahaba, since she was privy to a lot of ahadith that others had not heard because of her close relationship with the Prophet (S).
*Have you ever heard of Umm al-Darda?*
A prominent female scholar and jurist of Islam in the 7th century who would teach her lessons in the male section of the masjid.
Her class was attended by men and women, Imams, jurists, and Hadith scholars.
*Have you ever heard of the numerous women scholars who played a pivotal role in the lives of many of the ulama we look up to?*
👉The female scholar Nafisa bint al-Hasan taught hadith to Imam ash-Shafi'i.
👉Ibn Hajar mentioned that he studied under 53 women scholars.
👉Ibn Asakir al-Dimashqi took hadith from 80 female narrators of hadith.
*Have you ever heard of Fatima al-Fihri?*
The educated Muslim woman who founded the world's very first university,
The University of al-Qarawiyyin, which still stands today as one of the most prominent institutions of Islamic learning.
_These are just a few of the hidden female figures of our Islamic history._

Some people are so used to socializing a lot that when they're alone, they find themselves feeling lonely and miserable.
One should get used to isolation to the point that he misses being alone after socializing.
Secluding oneself will help a person reflect on his own self, his sins, and his mental state and rectify them between him and His Lord. He should make it a habit to rectify himself in seclusion and to find joy in remembering Allaah so that even if he is left alone, he will not feel lonely as he knows his own company, books, and dhikrullaah (remembrance of Allah is sufficient for him.
Imam Al-Jawzi ( رحمه الله) said:
"Practice isolation, for it is the basis of all good; beware of bad companionship, and let the books and reading about the lives of our predecessors be your companions."
[Sincere Council to the seekers of Sacred Knowledge p. 67]
"How beautiful is seclusion.
You will be free from the dirt of backbiting (gheebah), the harms of pretentiousness, concealing animosity and wasting time.
The heart remains free from being pre-occupied with mixing with people, so it looks after it’s worldly and heavenly needs."
[Sayd al-Khaatir of Ibn al-Jawzi (rahimahullah), 584]
"For a scholar and an ascetic, there is no real seclusion.
Books of the scholars keep them company and talk to them.
Looking into the affairs (and firmness) of the Salaf keeps them steadfast, and thinking about past events (history) brings them relief."
[Sayd al-Khaatir of Ibn al-Jawzi (rahimahullah), pg. 585]
Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:
"It is essential for one to have some time spent alone where he supplicates to Allah, makes His dhikr, prays, contemplates, reflects on himself, and rectifies his heart."
[Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 10/426]

“Evil-eye is true. If evil- eye raced with fate, it would beat fate (it would change fate)”
(Muslim, Salaam: 42; Ibni Majah, Tib: 3).
Evil-eye is true. It puts a camel in a cooking pot and a man in grave.”
(Kashfu’l-Khafa, 2: 76, narrated Abu Naim).
Thus, just as a camel affected by evil-eye may die and its meat can be put in the cooking pot, so too may a man affected by evil-eye die and be put in grave. It is understood from the hadith that the effects of evil-eye affect not only human beings but also all living beings and even anything that attracts one to look at.

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (Sallellahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "The believer's soul is suspended by his debt until it is settled for him."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 2, Book 10, Hadith 114)
A beautiful reminder to settle your debts before the Day your life's debts are due. Today, many people have loans and borrowed money from people with little idea of how they'll repay them. Always work towards repaying those who you owe, you don't want to be left in a suspended state not because of your deeds but because of debts that are waiting to be paid to someone.

«a morning with the Salaf»
It is reported that Imam Al-Awzai (Allah have mercy on him) said:
"At the time of Fajr, or a while before it, the Salaf would be as if birds were sitting on their heads: (still) concentrating on themselves [and their worship], so much so that even if one of their closest friends came to them after having been parted from them, they would not notice him. They would remain in this state until just before sunrise. Then, they would meet each other and sit in the circles. The first thing they would discuss is the matter of their afterlife and what would become of them in the hereafter. Then they would begin the circles of Qurān and Fiqh study.'

BE A BENEFIT TO OTHERS
Benefit people in any way you can for His sake.
You won't know the impact of the knowledge you shared that moved them, the thoughts you expressed that touched them, the advice you gave when they needed it the most, the charity you did that helped them. Don't become like those people who sit and spend their time in idle and waste their capabilities by not using them.

"...The best of people are those who are most beneficial to people.”

Will you run, walk or crawl over it?
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen may Allah have mercy on him said:
"The siraat is a bridge that will be set up over Hell; it is narrower than a hair and sharper than a sword. People will pass over it according to their deeds. Whoever used to hasten to do good deeds in this world will pass quickly over the siraat; whoever was slow to do good deeds and whoever used to mix righteous deeds with bad deeds, and his bad deeds were not forgiven by Allah, may slip into the Fire; may Allah protect us.
People will vary in the ways in which they pass over the siraat. Some will pass in the blink of an eye, some will pass like lightning, some will pass like the wind, some will pass like swift horses, some will pass like fast camels, some will walk, some will crawl, and some will be thrown into Hell. No one will pass over this siraat except the believers only. As for the disbelievers, they will not pass over it, because on the Day of Resurrection they will be driven directly to Hell."

“There is nothing more important for our children than living and dying on Islam. No, not good grades, college degrees, noscripts, money, marriage, car, house, etc. These things are important, but not nearly as important as their iman.**
If we prioritize these things over deen, then we have taught them to live and love the dunya over the akhirah. So then don't be surprised when they grow up and leave the akhirah for the dunya. However, the dunya is only temporal and the akhirah is eternal.
The greatest accomplishment is being together with our children in jannah. Otherwise, what is the real purpose of this life? It's more important that our children make dua for us at our graves, not just being able to pay for them.”

Every person has to experience 8 things no matter who they are.
Happiness and Sadness,
Meeting and Seperation,
Difficulty and Ease,
Illness and wellbeing.
So don’t be shocked and surprised when you go from happiness to sadness, and from wellbeing to illness, etc.
Allah ﷻ says:
وَلَنَبلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيءٍ مِنَ الخَوفِ وَالجوعِ وَنَقصٍ مِنَ الأَموالِ وَالأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَراتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصّابِرين
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient. (Surat Al-Baqarah: 155).

One of the special features of Fajr prayer on Friday is that it is Sunnah to recite Soorat al-Sajdah in the first rak’ah and Soorat al-Insaan in the second.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite in Fajr prayer in Fridays Alif-Laam-Meem Tanzeel (Soorat al-Sajdah) in the first rak’ah and Hal ata ‘ala’l-insaan heenun min al-dahr lam yakun shay’an madhkooran (Soorat al-Insaan) in the second.

A reminder to myself and my fellow Muslims. Life is indeed short; every day, we hear of people who have passed away, many who seemed perfectly fine and healthy. I could be that person and so could you.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
Knowing that we will die means that we need to be ready. Getting ready means we need to know what we will face at the time of death. When death comes upon us, we will be on the next leg of our journey to Allah. The Muslim will hope for angels to descend upon him/her; angels who will comfort and console them. But for that to happen, we need to remain steadfast upon our Faith and stay the course.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ
Allah also tells us to fear Him and prepare by way of obedience to Him and taking stock of ourselves. Worry about what Allah sees of us, not His creation.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
He also urges us to hasten to do good to attain His forgiveness and secure a place for ourselves in al-Jannah (Paradise).
وَسَارِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
The bottom line is that we need to be conscious and aware of the fact that Allah is Ever-Watchful over us and that we will meet Him very soon. As such, we have to strive to keep our duty to Him (uphold our Religion), not compromise our beliefs and remain focused. Watering down the Religion to seem less "extreme" and be accepted by "others" is not an option for one who is preparing for that inevitable Meeting. We WILL be questioned by Allah.
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْئُولُونَ
Brothers and Sisters,
Let's keep this in mind and live our lives accordingly. Pleasing Allah Alone is what being a Muslim is about. We need to keep the goal in mind so we do not waiver and do not stray.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
Knowing that we will die means that we need to be ready. Getting ready means we need to know what we will face at the time of death. When death comes upon us, we will be on the next leg of our journey to Allah. The Muslim will hope for angels to descend upon him/her; angels who will comfort and console them. But for that to happen, we need to remain steadfast upon our Faith and stay the course.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ
Allah also tells us to fear Him and prepare by way of obedience to Him and taking stock of ourselves. Worry about what Allah sees of us, not His creation.

A sound divine hadith states:
"My servants! It is only your deed that I count for you and then give you in full. Let the person who then finds good praise Allāh , and let the one who finds something else only blame himself."
Muslim, vol.4,p.1194 and Ahmad in his Musnad,vol.5,p.160.

Imam Shāfi’ī رحمه الله said:
"When the people abandon you when you are in a time of distress,
then know that Allah wants to take over your affair and [make you] suffice with Him as a guardian."
