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 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,
"...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.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 851; Muslim, 880.

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.

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.

OUR STRENGTH AND DESTRUCTION.
This is how Muslims lose power, people and property even with an arsenal of weapons at their disposal. Their strength does not lie in external resources regardless of their magnitude but in the internal conviction that Allah, Islam and Muhammad ﷺ are given the importance it truly deserves sans any form of corruption.
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْأَخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا

A TRUE MAN
▪️Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:
"Do you know what a man is? A true man is he who finds himself alone with sins, and has the power to commit them and his lusts urges him to quench its thirst, but he thinks about Allāh looking at him, so he feels embarrassed from angering Him
and thus his desire goes away.
But it seems that you only abandon things that you do not have desire for, or things that are not desirable in the first place, or even things that you are unable to have! This is your habit!.”

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
Present to yourself the most beloved thing to you in this life whereby if it were taken away from you, you would not feel any pleasure in this life.
Then imagine it was taken away from you and a barrier was placed between both of you in your most needy moment, how would you feel?
Imagine this feeling even though this beloved thing can be replaced, so reflect over the thing that can never be replaced.
Anything, if you lose it, can be replaced -- but there isn't a replacement for Allāh if you lose [a connection with] Him.

The Number of Rows of the People of Paradise
Ibn Buraidah narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)said:
"The people of Paradise are a hundred and twenty rows, eighty of them are from this nation, and forty are from the rest of the nations." [At Tirmidhi 2546 Hasan]
Imam An Nawawi said:
This means that they will represent two-thirds of the people of Heaven. The Prophet first gave the hadith that tells them that they will be half of the people of Heaven. Subsequently, God’s generosity granted them more, and the Prophet was told that the people of Heaven will stand in rows; he then passed this information to his companions. There are many other similar cases in the Prophet’s hadiths, such as the one that mentions that prayer in a congregation earns twenty-seven or twenty-five times the reward of a person praying by himself.

The borrower's delay in repaying the debt
The first and third questions of Fatwa no. 4789
Q 1: Around seven years ago, someone came to me and asked me to lend him 1,000 Riyals and in return, after one full year, he would give me 90 Sa‘s (1 Sa‘ = 2.172 kg) of coffee. So I gave him the 1,000 Riyals in cash.
This sum of money that I gave him belonged to an orphan, with whose finances I am entrusted. The person who borrowed the money is a rich man. More than six years have passed now, without him settling the debt. The price of a Sa‘ of the good coffee (Yemeni coffee) that we agreed upon at the time of the loan was between 30 to 35 Riyals, and the price of a Sa‘ of this type of coffee is now 70 Riyals. Please give me a Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) on this matter to clear my conscience about this, as I only intended to do good for the owner of this money and the debtor. May Allah accept what you do for the good of Islam and Muslims.
A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, you have to ask the debtor for the coffee that you paid in advance for to be delivered to you later on. It is not permissible to take a substitute, not money or anything else, except if, when the orphan reaches the age of discernment, they agree to take the capital. It will be permissible for them to take either the capital only or ask for the coffee.
