Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported:
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “You will most certainly follow the ways of those who came before you, inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: Allah's Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians (by your words)" those before you"? He said: “Who else?”
[Sahīh Muslim 2669]
Jabir bin 'Abdullāh narrated:
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “The worst of things are those that are newly invented; every newly-invented thing is an innovation and every innovation is going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire.”
[Sunan an-Nāsa'i 1578, Grade: Sahīh]
Narrated by ‘Āisha:
Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected.”
[Sahīh al-Bukhārī 2697]
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allāh be pleased with him and his father) said:
“Indeed the most hated of affairs with Allāh is innovation.”
[al-Lālikāi (1/132) Abu Nu’aim in Hilyah (7/26) and Baghawi in Sharh Sunnah (1/216)]
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said,
“All bid’ah (innovation) is misguidance even if the people see it as good.”

REVIVE A NEGLECTED SUNNAH OF STAYING AFTER FAJR TILL SUNRISE.
How forsaken is this Sunnah? Merely look around the Masajids just ten or fifteen minutes after Fajr prayer, they're virtually deserted.
The following Sunnah is arguably one of the most neglected acts of worship amidst even students of knowledge and leaders amongst the Muslims, let alone ordinary folk. However, it wasn't the case with those before us, it was like the oxygen which they breathed, without it their day was gone.
This is the Sunnah of remembering Allah after the early morning prayer till sunrise.
Jaabir Ibnu Samura (radiAllahuanhu) said,
كَانَ لاَ يَقُومُ مِنْ مُصَلاَّهُ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي فِيهِ الصُّبْحَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ قَامَ
“Whenever the Prophet of Allah (sallalahu alaihiwa sallam) would finish the early morning prayer, he would not get up from his place of prayer till the sun had risen.” (Muslim).
■■ IBN MAS'OOD
‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (radiAllahuanhu) said: مَا نِمْتُ نَوْمَةَ الضُّحَى مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ
“I have not slept during this time since the day I embraced Islam” (Tabaqaat of Ibnu Sa’d)
■■ IMAM AL-AWZAAI
Imam Al-Awzaa’i (rahimahullah) said:
كان السلف إذا صدع الفجر أو قبله شيئًا كأنما على رؤوسهم الطير، مقبلين على أنفسهم، حتى لو أن حميمًا لأحدهم غاب عنه حينًا، ثم قدّم ما التفت إليه، فلا يزالون كذلك حتى يكونون قريبًا من طلوع الشمس
“When it was around the time of Fajr, our predecessors would be so still that it was as if birds were sitting on their heads. They were so focused on themselves in Allah’s remembrance as if a loved person of theirs who’d been away had arrived and would not turn towards them. They'd remain in such a state till around the rising of the sun” (Taareekh Dimashq)
If you wish to realise just how forsaken this Sunnah is, merely look around the Masajids ten or minutes after the end of the Fajr prayer. In most cases, the Masjid is virtually deserted, assuming that you aren’t told to leave before that.
There is a reason why this Sunnah is hardly applied. It’s not easy. It requires tremendous determination and dedication as it coincides with time, rest and sleep. The effects of it, however, upon one’s soul are beyond words. In fact, those who’ve been upon it for some time simply cannot function without it.
■■ IMAM IBN TAYMIYYAH.
Imam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) once said to his student, Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullah), after doing this till around midday(!):
هذه غدوتى لو لم أتغدى غدوتى سقطت قوتى
“This is my morning meal. If I don’t have it, my strength leaves me.” (ArRad AlWaafi)
Those words are not an exaggeration, but a true reflection of something that he’d felt and experienced. This Sunnah had played an enormous role in the moulding of Ibn Taymiyyah’s character and was one of the secrets behind his spiritual and intellectual power that would later amaze the world.
Never did they allow the excuse of Da’wah, study, work or family to stand between them and these moments of remembrance. Rather, they saw the latter as an indispensable tool for the former!.
In a narration which many have classified as authentic, the Prophet (sallalahu alaihiwa sallam) said:
مَنْ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَانَتْ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ حَجَّةٍ وَعُمْرَةٍ تَامَّةٍ تَامَّةٍ تَامَّةٍ
“Whoever
(1) Prays the early morning prayer in congregation then
(2) Stays sitting down, remembering Allah till the sun rises, then
(3) Prays two units of prayer, he will be given the reward of Hajj and ‘Umrah that are complete, complete, complete.”(At-Tirmidhi)
Strive hard to implement this Sunnah gradually.
(1) Dedicating at least one morning a week for this Sunnah if you are unable do more.
(2) Contact a friend of yours who’ll share your ambition & join you.
(3) Dedicate those moments to five things:
Qur’an, Dhikr, Du’ah, Isthighfar and reflection & contemplation.
(4) Fifteen or so minutes after sunrise, carry out two or more units of prayer within your place of prayer

Four circumstances apply during a calamity:
The first condition: he scorns. things he hates, whether with his heart, tongue, or limbs. The disdain with the heart means he harbors anger and bad thoughts against his Lord. He blames Allah for this catastrophe. Concerning the scorn on the tongue, it is like crying, "Woe upon me, I am ruined!" or curse Time.'
The disdain with limbs includes slapping his face, beating his head, pulling his hair, tearing his clothes, etc.
The second condition is that he is patient. Being patient over the trial by controlling himself; he dislikes trials, he dislikes misfortunes, and he does not like that it occurs. However, he restrains himself, never saying or doing anything that displeases Allah.
The third is that he is pleased. The person accepts this tragedy. He accepts it as though he was unaffected.
The Fourth- He's thankful. He praises Allah for it. It is reported that the Prophet (PBUH) would exclaim, "Alhamdulillah 'alaa kulli haall (Praise be to Allah in all conditions)" whenever he encountered something he found distasteful. He would praise Allah so that Allah would reward him more than the affliction.
It was said that a devout female worshipper hurt her finger, for which she thanked Allah and praised Him. She was asked, “Why are you thanking and praising Allah when the finger was hurt?”
She said, “The sweetness of its reward made me forget the bitterness of its patience.”

Imaam Al-Barbaharee raḥimahullāh: The innovators are like scorpions. They bury their heads and bodies in the sand, and leave their tails out. When they get a chance they sting; the same with the innovators who conceal themselves amongst the people, when they are able, they do what they desire. (Sharh Us Sunnah p 148.94)

It is most important for the believer to learn that the more he increases in virtue, the higher his rank in Paradise will be, and vice versa.
He may enter Paradise in a lower rank while others are higher, but he will remain satisfied and will not feel any shortcoming.

If YOU CAN'T BE USEFUL TO YOUR BROTHERS, DON'T BE A SOURCE OF DISTRESS TO THEM.
The Prophet said:
“Prevent yourself from causing people harm, it is a form of charity from yourself to your soul”.
(Saheehul Jaami', 4490).
Yahya Ibn Mu'aadh said:
Your relationship with a believer should be such that;
1. If you can't benefit him, don't cause him harm.
2. If you can't make him happy, then don't cause him sad.
3. If you don't praise him (for his good), don't condemn him unnecessarily (for his evil).
(Jaamiul Uluum wal Hikam, 281/2).
Comment:
A believer should not be a cause of harm, distress and unhappiness to anyone.
If you can't make them happy, then excuse yourself in their presence and restrain yourself from talking ill of them in their absence.
May ALLAAH aid us to do better.

When we are young, we dream of a perfect life, and are very much unprepared for the hardships of this dunya. But if we lived a perfect life we would not grow or gain wisdom. It is only with these hardships that we face, that we are able to grow closer to Allahﷻ and gain the wisdom to navigate this dunya.
A perfect life will come one day insha'Allah, but only in Jannah 💕

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyah (rahimahullaah) said in Madarij Al-Salikin, Vol.1 p487:
These are the words of someone who fully understood singing and its effects, for no one regularly sings or listens to song except that his heart falls into nifaq without him realizing.

These are the words of someone who fully understood singing and its effects, for no one regularly sings or listens to song except that his heart falls into nifaq without him realizing. If such a person understood the reality of nifaq 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 Quran 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 Shaytan comes, la 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 nifaq then it is certainly the way to it and its foundation.💯2👍1
