There was a lesson in their stories for the first door
"There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding." [Qur'ān 12:111]

A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

Golden Advices from ʿUmār b. Āl-Khaṭṭāb [رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْه]:

1]. "Do not speak about that which does not concern you.

2]. Know your enemy and be wary of your friend, except for the trustworthy one.

3]. No one is trustworthy, except for the person who fears Āllāh ﷻ.

4]. Do not walk with the evildoer, lest he teaches you some of his wickedness; and do not reveal your secrets to him.

5]. When you consult others in your affairs, consult only those who fear Āllāh ﷻ."

*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."*

Adabul Mufrad 1/1307

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

𝗔𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆; 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲.They (the Companions) asked: Messenger of Allah, how can our blessings be submitted to you, when your body has decayed? He (ﷺ) said: Allah has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.

🤔 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)

Shaykh Al-Islām ibn Al-Qayyim (Allāh have mercy upon him) mentioned:

"Knowledge is more precious than money."

In one of his lessons, ibn 'Uthaymeen said:

[شيء مشاهد الانسان إذا عمل في أول النهار وجد في عمله بركة . لكن للأسف أكثرنا اليوم ينامون فيفوت عليهم أول النهار الذي فيه بركة . وقد قال العامة : أمير النهار أوله .]

Something that you can witness is that when a person sets to work at the beginning of the day, he finds blessing in his time. Unfortunately, though, many of us today will sleep and miss out on the first part of the day which contains blessings. As people say, “The leader of the day is its first part.”

Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allāh will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allāh will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allāh will screen him on the Day of Resurrection.”⁣

[Sharh Riyadh as-Saliheen, vol. 4, pg. 295]

'Aishah (May Allaah be pleased with her) reported:The Prophet (ﷺ) said,

"The two raka'āt before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are better than this world and all it contains."

[Muslim]

Another narration goes: "The two rak'āt before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are dearer to me than the whole world."

*Note: This is done between the Adhaan and the obligatory Fajr prayer

Concerning the Rock of Al-Ghamidi, may Allah be pleased with him, and for the Prophet, peace be upon him, he said, "Oh Allah, bless my nation in its morning"

[Sunan Ibn Maja 2238, Mosque Al-Tirmidhi 1212, Al-Albani corrected in Sunan Abi Dawood 2606]

Narrated by Ṣakhr al-Ghāmidī (may Allāh be pleased with him):

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “O Allāh, bless my nation in it's early mornings.”

[Jāmi’ at-Tirmidhī 1212, name of Ibn Mājah 2238, graded authentic ( Ṣa ḥī ḥ) by Al-Albānī in name of Abī Dāwud 2606]

How can we "FREE PALESTINE" when the majority of the Ummah can't even:
- 🛌FIGHT their own pillow to pray Fajr;
- 🚬FIGHT that piece of cigarette that they put in their mouths;
- 🎵FIGHT music out of their lives;
- 👀FIGHT the urge to look and chat with the opposite gender;
- 🧠FIGHT our nafs and continue to oppose clear Islaamic teachings by using our own deficient logic;
- 🖤etc, etc, etc.

If you have an atom of doubt that RETURNING to ALLAAH is the ultimate solution,
and that you want to insist that protesting, boycotting, or the rulers is THE answer or these should be done first,
then YOU are a problem! 💥

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭 (ﷺ) 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝:

“That you give in charity whilst you are in good health and you are feeling miserly and you want to covet that wealth that you possess, and you fear poverty for yourself and that you hope for riches.”

(Al-Bukhāri: no. 1419)

So, when these conditions come together, this is the time that you will receive the greatest reward from giving your Sadaqah: that you are good in health, that you feel miserly, that you fear poverty and you hope for riches. In this situation when you give in the cause of Allāh then the reward is at its greatest.

Bishr ibn al-Hārith ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ said:

“O Allah. If you have made me famous for exposing me on the Day of Judgment, then strip it away from me.”

📚[Az-Zuhd by Al-Bayhaqi, 147]

Sa’īd ibn Jubayr رحمه الله said:

The servant will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and his book will be given to him, but he will not see his prayer or his fasting in it, and he will not see any of his righteous deeds.

He will say: “O Allāh, this is someone else’s book, I had good deeds that are not in this book.”

He will be told: “Your Lord does not err or forget, your deeds have gone away by backbiting people!”

[Bahr Ad-Dumū’: 133]

A man once asked Abu Hurayrah (Allāh be pleased with him), “What is al-taqwa?”

He replied, “Have you ever taken a path filled with thorns?”
The man replied, “Yes.”
Abu Hurayrah asked him, “What did you do?”

He replied, “When I saw a thorn I would dodge it or pass over it or behind it.”
Abu Hurayrah said, “That is al-taqwa.”

— [Al-Baihaqi, Al-Zuhd Al-Kabir p351]

When our phone occupies more of our time than the Muṣḥaf, we should be worried about the state of our Īmān.

Reflect on the time you have spent on your phone today, and compare it to the time you have spent holding the Book of Allāh ﷻ in your hands.
