KILLING A HOUSE LIZARD (CICAK)
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever kills a house lizard with one blow will have such and such a reward. Whoever kills it with two blows will have such and such a reward,” less than the first. “And whoever kills it with three blows will have such and such reward,” less than that mentioned the second time.

❝Indeed the believer in this Dunyaa is like a stranger, he does not surrender to the humiliation of the Dunyaa, nor does he compete with the people of the Dunyaa for the honour of this Dunyaa.
The people according to him are relaxing, while his soul according to himself is busy [with the Hereafter]. As a result Toobah [a tree in Paradise] is for the slave of Allaah who earns goodness and submits a virtuous action for a day when he will be poor and in need. [i.e. the Day of Judgment].❞

To win all the matches but lose the final is really painful. Just the thought of it is painful. All efforts wasted. Whoever made those efforts. Here, those who lost will still be applauded for making it to the finals, yet the pain will linger on for missing the purpose.
Now imagine the greatest match ever.. This life. You are playing it right now. You can't lose. If you lose you will not only miss the opportunity for bliss but punished as well.
There are only two options,
Heaven OR Hell.
(فمن زحزح عن النار وأدخل الجنة فقد فاز)
So, whoever has been kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has really succeeded. The worldly life is nothing but an illusionary enjoyment.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Those who deal mercifully with others, Allah will deal mercifully with them, therefore, show mercy to those on Earth so that the one in the Heavens may show you mercy.”
The Hadith is very simple and straightforward, if we don’t show mercy and compassion to each other, especially during times of hardship and calamity, we risk losing the most important mercy that matters to us, and that is, the mercy of Allah upon us.
This is a serious matter. Stop cursing each other and stop hating each other, Allah ﷻ made us believers and He commanded us to maintain the tie of brotherhood with each other. So adhere to His command, and avoid the path of the Shaytaan, the path of hatred and arguments.
May Allah ﷻ not hold us to account for what the ignorant and foolish amongst us have done. AAMEEN

Heal your heart with Qur'ān
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“If you read (the Qur'ān) with contemplation, even if over a (single) ayah, it is a key to healing your heart. Even if repeated a hundred times and for the (whole) night. Reading an ayah with contemplation and understanding is better than reading to completion without tadabbur and understanding. It is more beneficial for the heart and ensures gain in faith, and in tasting sweetness of the Qur'ān.”

It is said to the intelligent Muslim who desires the Hereafter and detests this world: be in this world like this stranger who only looks to this world for that which will suffice him and leaves plentitude and luxury. When you do this, truly will you be a stranger, someone who is but passing on his way, someone who desires the Hereafter and looks down on this world. If you do this, you will see the praiseworthy outcome of your bearing with patience all the hardship and adversity of your journey. Allāh knows best.

🚩📌The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said: “The religion is (sincere) advice.” 📚 [Muslim (1/55)]
Sexual Intercourse
🚩The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
📌“In the sexual intercourse of any one of you there is reward” (meaning, when he has intercourse with his wife).
📚 [Saheeh Muslim (720)]
🚩Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“The best doctors suggest that sexual intercourse is one of the means of maintaining good health.”
📚 [al-Tibb al-Nabawi, (1/249)]
Recommendation of Foreplay
🚩Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“It is Mustahabb (recommended) to engage in foreplay with one’s wife before intercourse, so as to arouse her and so that she will get the same pleasure from intercourse as he does.”
📚 [al-Mughni (8/136)]
🚩Abu’l-Najaa al-Hajaawi al-Hanbali (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“He may engage in masturbation with the wife’s hand.”
📚 [al-Iqnaa‘; Kashshaaf al-Qinaa‘ (5/188)]
🚩Ibn ‘Aabideen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“Abu Yoosuf asked Abu Haneefah about a man who touches his wife’s private part and she touches his to stimulate arousal – did he see anything wrong with that? He said: ‘No, and I hope that the reward will be greater.’”
📚 [Radd al-Muhtaar (6/367)]
Paying Attention
🚩al-Mannaawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“‘When one of you has intercourse with his wife, let him pay proper attention to her’ i.e. let him have intercourse with her energetically and vigorously, doing it properly, with love and sincerity towards her. This is what is recommended.”
📚 [Fayd al-Qadeer (1/325)]
The Best Sexual Position
🚩Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“The best sexual position is for the man to get on top of his wife (i.e. missionary position) after having fondled and kissed her (i.e. foreplay). This is why the woman is sometimes called ‘Firaash’ (mat or bed).”
📚 [al-Tibb al-Nabawi (1/326)]
The Worst Sexual Position
🚩Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“The worst sexual position is for the woman to get on top of the man (i.e. cowgirl or riding position).
📌In this case, the man will not be able to ejaculate all of the semen, and whatever remains will get soiled and harm his body.
📌In addition, this position might allow for some harmful moisture to descend from the woman’s sexual organ to the penis.
📌In addition, the womb will not be able to hold onto the semen in this position, and thus, conception will be more difficult.”
📚 [al-Tibb al-Nabawi (1/327)]
💦 Climax 💦
🚩Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“If he reaches climax before she does, it is not right for him to withdraw until she reaches climax... And because that may be harmful to her and prevent her from fulfilling her desire.”
📚 [al-Mughni (8/136)]
🚩al-Mannaawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“‘If he finishes before her’ i.e. if he reaches climax first and she is still aroused. ‘He should not withdraw from her’ i.e. before she reaches climax and fulfils her desire; rather he should give her time so that she could fulfil her desire as he fulfilled his desire. So he should not move away from her until he is certain that she has fulfilled her desire, because that is part of kind treatment, keeping her chaste and being considerate towards her.”
📚 [Fayd al-Qadeer (1/325)]
🚫 Frequent Intercourse 🚫
🚩al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
📌“If a man engages in intercourse too frequently, his semen may become red and resemble the juice that comes from meat, or may even contain blood.”
📚 [Sharh Saheeh Muslim (3/222)]
⚫️ Wudoo’ [Ablution] (Recommended) ⚫️
🚩The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
📌“If any one of you has intercourse with his wife then wants to repeat it, let him do Wudoo’ (ablution) between the two (actions), for it is more energising for the second time.”

Imagine praying Salah with a clothe you bought with haram money, fasting with the food you bought with haram, hajj with haram money, what exactly will you tell Allah when you're questioned on the day of Qiyamah.
Be patient, haram is not an alternative no matter how bad life treats you. Whatever money you make in selling drugs, in fraud, in prostitution etc, is the same money you will make if you should engage yourself into halal business, even if it's selling of tomatoes in the market.
For whatever Allah has written for you before your existence in this world is exactly what will be provided for you, nothing more nothing less, all required from you is patience.
But you're giving a free will, the type of work you want to do is up to you to decide, haram or halal it's up to you to decide. Unfortunately greediness has made people trade their Akhira with the Dunya. May Allah forgive us.

*Saying a Lot On Social Media*
Speaking a lot, and saying everything that comes to your mind has never been praiseworthy in Islam.
The one who speaks a lot will never be able to think deeply like a Muslim is required to.
But today, we have a set of Muslims who say everything that comes to their mind publicly on their statuses and social media.
This is also a form of speaking too much, and the believer must regulate it and not post about everything that comes to his mind.
"حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: لاَ خَيْرَ فِي فُضُولِ الْكَلامِ."
*Abu Hurayra said, "There is no good in excessive speaking."*

Speaking a lot, and saying everything that comes to your mind has never been praiseworthy in Islam.
The one who speaks a lot will never be able to think deeply like a Muslim is required to.
But today, we have a set of Muslims who say everything that comes to their mind publicly on their statuses and social media.
This is also a form of speaking too much, and the believer must regulate it and not post about everything that comes to his mind.
"حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: لاَ خَيْرَ فِي فُضُولِ الْكَلامِ."

🤔 Ever wondered why Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu aliyhi wasallam asked us to recite Surat Al-Kahf every Friday? Let’s find out today In sha Allah...
1) The People Of The Cave
Its the story of young men who lived in a disbelieving town, so they decided to migrate for the sake of Allah and run away. -Allah rewards them with mercy in the cave and protection from the sun - They woke up and found the entire village believers.
MORAL:TRIAL OF FAITH.
2) The Owner Of Two Gardens
A story of a man whom Allah blessed with two beautiful gardens, but the man forgot to thank the One who blessed him with everything and he even dared to doubt Allah regarding the afterlife. So His garden was destroyed - He regretted (by the mercy of Allah) but was too late and it did not benefit him.
MORAL:TRIAL OF WEALTH.
3) Musa (AS) and Khidr (AS).
When Musa (AS) was asked-“Who’s the most knowledgeable of the people of earth?"” Musa (AS) said:Me...,but Allah revealed to him that there’s someone who Knows more than him. Musa (AS) traveled to the man and learnt how the Divine Wisdom can sometimes be hidden in matters which we perceive as bad.
MORAL:TRIAL OF KNOWLEDGE.
4) Dhul-Qarnayn
Its a story of the great King that was given knowledge and power and was going around the world, helping people and spreading all that's good. He was able to overcome the problem of Yajooj-Majooj and build a massive dam with the help of people whom he could not even understand.
MORAL:TRIAL OF POWER.
In the middle Allah mentions Iblees as the one who stirs these trials:
Behold! We said to the angels "Bow down to Adam": they bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrongdoers! Now let us see what’s the relationship between Surat Al-Kahf and the Dajjal (Anti-Christ)? Dajjal will appear before Day of Judgement with the 4 trials:
***He’ll ask people to worship him and not Allah:
Trial of Faith..
***He’ll be given powers to start/stop rain and tempt people with his wealth:
Trial of wealth..
***He’ll trial people with the “knowledge” and news he gives them:
Trial of Knowledge..
***He’ll control huge parts of the Earth.
Trial of Power..
How to survive these trials? The answers are in Surat Al-Kahf
#Survival_Kit 1: Good companionship.
“And keep thy soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face; and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; no obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds.” (Surat Al-Kahf, verse 28)
#Survival_Kit 2: Knowing the Truth of this World .
“Set forth to them the similitude of the life of this world: It is like the rain which we send down from the skies: the earth's vegetation absorbs it, but soon it becomes dry stubble, which the winds do scatter: it is (only) Allah who prevails over all things” (Surat Al-Kahf, verse 45)
#Survival_Kit 3: Humbleness.
“Moses said: "Thou wilt find me, if Allah so will, (truly) patient: nor shall I disobey thee in aught."”(Surat Al-Kahf, verse 69)
#Survival_Kit 4: Sincerity.
“Say: "I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration has come to me, that your Allah is one Allah. whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner.” (Surat Al- Kahf, verse 110)
#Survival_Kit 5: Calling to Allah.
“And recite (and teach) what has been revealed to thee of the Book of thy Lord: none can change His Words, and none wilt thou find as a refuge other than Him.” (Surat Al-Kahf, verse 27)
#Survival_Kit 6: Remembering the HereAfter .

“One Day We shall remove the mountains, and thou wilt see the earth as a level stretch, and We shall gather them, all together, nor shall We leave out any one of them. And they will be marshalled before thy Lord in ranks, (with the announcement), "Now have ye come to Us (bare) as We created you first: aye, ye thought We shall not fulfil the appointment made to you to meet (Us)!": And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, "Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great,but takes account thereof !" They will find all that they did, placed before them: And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice.” (Surat Al-Kahf, verses 47-49)
