Warning from begging when you have the means
Narrated Qabisa bin Mukhariq al-Hilali (RA):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Begging is not lawful except to one of three (people): a man who has become a guarantor for a payment, for whom begging is lawful till he gets it, after which he must stop begging; a man whose wealth has been destroyed by a calamity which has befallen him, for whom begging is lawful till he gets what will support life; and a man who has been struck by poverty, the genuineness of which is confirmed by three intelligent members of his people, so it is lawful for him to beg." [Reported by Muslim].
Abu Hurairah narrated that:
the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: “Whoever begs from people so as to accumulate more riches, he is asking for alive coal from hell, so let him ask for a lot or a little.” [ibn Majah 1838, Sahih]
Allah's messenger as saying,
“When a man is always begging from people the result will be that he will come on the day of resurrection with no flesh on his face.”
(Bukhari and Muslim.)

Qurʾān: Quality over Quantity
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“If the people knew the sweetness, and benefits in pondering over the Qurʾān when reading it, they would have kept themselves busy with nothing else but reading Qurʾān.
For reading and pondering over one verse is better than a ḵẖatma (completion of the whole Qurʾān) without contemplation nor understanding.
It's also more beneficial to the heart, attains Īmān and makes one taste the sweetness of the Qurʾān.”

When you wake up tomorrow morning:
* Trust not a single soul. Trust only your Creator.
* Love with all the love you have, for the sake of Allaah & hate no one/nothing except for the sake of Allaah.
* You stay silent until you think thoroughly about what you want to say. Will it please Allaah or will it please Shaytaan?
* Before you respond to a person, give them 3-5 more seconds. Perhaps they have more to say.
* Limit your words. Limit your speech. Imagine it being currency and use it only when necessary.
* In moments of silence, praise Allaah. In moments of happyness, praise Allaah. In moments of anger, praise Allaah.
* If what will exit your mouth is not pleasing Allaah, close it.
* Fear not a single person. Fear only Allaah.
* What you do, do it with care and attention and love.
* Forgive them, for your sanity. Forgive them for the sake of Allaah.
* It’s alright to be frustrated, annoyed, & angry. But how you execute these feelings distinguishes you from the idiots of the world.
* Be sincere. Seek sincerity. Ask for sincerity. Fear showing off, fear the compliments of others, fear popularity and fame.
* Ask Allaah to perfect your character as He has perfected your external.
Ew, stop doing the haram.
* Stop giving people your hasanat by gossiping and backbiting.
* Wear it, do it, say it, be it. If it’s for the sake of Allaah, don’t contemplate otherwise.

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
No one regularly sings or listens to song except that his heart falls into nifaaq (hypocrisy) without him realizing. If such a person understood the reality of nifaaq and its end he would see it in his own heart.
Never do the love of song and the love of Qur’an come together in a person’s heart except that one expels the other.
I and others have witnessed how heavy the Qur’an feels to singers and song-listeners; how they coil when it is recited and how they get angry with a reciter when he recites too long for them (in prayer etc); and how their hearts do not benefit from what he recites: they are not moved to do anything by it.
But when the Qur’an of Shaytaan comes, laa ilaaha illallaah! How they lower their voices and settle down! How their hearts feel at peace and how the crying and emotions start; how moved they are inwardly and outwardly and spend on clothing and perfume and staying up hoping for a long night ahead. If this is not nifaaq then it is certainly the way to it and its foundation.

The more you worry about the Dunya, the less you will have concern for the Hereafter. No wonder our prayers lack in Khushoo’, as even in our prayers we are occupied with worldly affairs.
Maalik Ibn Deenaar said:
❝In proportion to the worry you have for the Dunya (worldly life), that (equal proportion) of concern for the Aakhirah (Hereafter) is removed from your heart; and in proportion to the worry you have for the Hereafter, that (equal proportion) of concern for the Dunya is removed from your heart.❞

♦ *The Great Value of al-Hamdulillaah*
Abu’l-Fidaa’ Ismaa’eel ibn Kathir wrote the following in his tafsir of surah al-Fatihah:
وقال القرطبي في تفسيره ، وفي نوادر الأصول عن أنس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : لو أن الدنيا بحذافيرها في يد رجل من أمتي ثم قال : الحمد لله ، لكان الحمد لله أفضل من ذلك . قال القرطبي وغيره : أي لكان إلهامه الحمد لله أكبر نعمة عليه من نعم الدنيا ؛ لأن ثواب الحمد لا يفنى ونعيم الدنيا لا يبقى ، قال الله تعالى : المال والبنون زينة الحياة الدنيا والباقيات الصالحات خير عند ربك ثوابا وخير أملا [ الكهف : 46 ] .ـ
al-Qurtubi said in his tafsir: In the book Nawaadir al-Usool, it is reported that Anas narrated that the Prophet said, *“If the entire dunya were to be in the hands of a man from among my ummah and then he were to say, ‘alhamdulillaah‘, that alhamdulillaah would be better for him than all of that.”*
al-Qurtubi and others commented, *“Meaning: his being inspired to say alhamdulillaah* is a greater blessing for him than the pleasures of *this worldly life because the reward of praising Allah does not perish while the pleasures of this life do not last.”*
Allah said:
الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

"But the majority of the people do it."
Simple response: Which majority?
Shaykh Dr Badr al-Utaybi wrote:
The Prophet ﷺ lived for 23 years after his mission began and never celebrated his birthday.
• Following him, there were 114,000 companions,
• the Taabi'oon,
• their seven jurists,
• the followers of the Taabi'oon,
• the jurists of the four main schools of thought (madhabs),
• the followers of these schools,
• the authors of the six major Hadith collections,
• and many virtuous generations.
None of them celebrated the Prophet's birthday. So, how can celebrating it today be considered a form of worship?
#MawlidunNabi
The reason why the sahabah, the tabi'een, the tabi'i tabi'een, and the 4 imams did not talk about the Mawlid because it came 5 centuries after the Prophet ﷺ by the Fatamids' Rawafidh!
Mawlid has no place in Islam. You won't love the Prophet ﷺ more than his wives & companions.

We live in a time where no matter how 'nicely' you try to remind against & forbid munkar, people will see you as foe
It makes so much more sense now why Allah, with his infinite wisdom, specifically mentioned ''believers'' (when He could've said Muslims) in Surah Dhariyat v. 55 - meaning, only the believing hearts benefit from being reminded 💛
What do you do now? Let them suit themselves. Our role is to enjoin the good & forbid the evil. Indeed there's gentleness, hikmah & speaking with knowledge but the discomfort (rage) of people when you speak the haqq as Allah commanded is not your matter to manage. Leave them to it
