Many people don’t understand the concept of “success”
they think the more money you stockpile, the greater your success.
But people on their deathbeds never wish for more money or a greater status in the dunya [world].
Rather, they wish for more TIME in order to worship Allaah better and meet Him with certainty and faith pouring from their hearts.
Take advantage of every precious moment you have.
Let Allaah’s remembrance always be on your lips, and always ask Him to help you fully rely on Him and His guidance to lead you to a better hereafter In-sha'-Allaah.

Because a person quotes chapters from Islamic books with appropriate references and even page numbers doesn't make him a scholar. I have quoted many times from the book Al-Mugni and I have never set my eyes on the book before, and it is so expensive that to even consider buying it requires serious planning.
On a serious note we need to raise the bar of how we consider people as scholars and Islamic authorities. It is not everyone who writes or posts Islamic matters that is automatically a scholar.
There is no harm in saying: He is a good preacher, he has good oratorical prowess, his writing skills are exceptional etc, but know for a fact that these things do not qualify a person to be an Isamic authority. How many certificates of medicine have you given me just because I have used some medical teminologies I picked from books or even google. Stop awarding Scholarship through social media activity and followership.
In the mind of some of you, once an Islamic post has 11,000 likes, you assume it is likely to be correct. Common! If Kim whatever or any of those online big shots post lewd pictures of themselves online they will get more likes than an average Islamic post. In fact they may have more followers than all our scholars put together! Stop measuring who is a scholar by his online acceptance and speech. A scholar is someone who has specialised in one or many branches of Islamic knowledge and certified so by a reputable scholar/scholars.
Stop over-rating social media.

👉Do not urinate where you bathe
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal that the Prophet (salalaahu Alaihi wasalam) said:
"None of you should urinate in the place where he bathes, for most Waswasa (devilish whispers) come from that."
Hasan
Sunan Nasai, Book of purification #36
Please if you urinate in the bathroom where especially you perform ablution too,please get small container urinate inside then pour it out.

Student loans, mortgages to buy houses, even credit cards? All are backed by a contract which is prohibited in Islām. Those and such similar scenarios are only allowed in situations of dire necessity. You can work part-time and go to school part-time, you can rent a house. As for credit cards, only use them if you absolutely have to, that is, in transactions which can only be done with credit cards. If you insist otherwise, then maybe you are in no need of Allāh's mercy...
Jābir said that Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed the accepter of interest and its payer, and one who records it, and the two witnesses, and he said: They are all equal.

⚘️The Strategic Approach for Your Supplications being Answered by Allāh.
Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen, [may Allāh, have mercy on him] said:
“It is incumbent upon mankind to carefully select opportune moments, places, and conditions to enhance their chances of receiving a response [for their supplications, from Allāh]. For instance, ideal times include the last part of the night and the interval between the call to prayer and the commencement of prayer. Optimal places involve being in virtuous surroundings. As for favourable circumstances, they encompass the act of prostration, the state of travel, and the occurrence of rainfall.”

Four distinct congregations continued to be held simultaneously in the most sacred house for more than nine centuries, notwithstanding the disapproval of numerous scholars of the past, many of whom remained silent.
Ibn Abī Al-Īzz denounced the practice that restricted judges to making rulings only according to a particular fiqh. The tradition, too, of appointing four imams, one from each school of fiqh, to lead the prayer in the House of Allāh at Makkah, he stated, should be discontinued. There should be, he argued, one imām, and everyone, irrespective of the fiqh school he followed, should pray behind him.[ ibn Abī Al-‘Īzz, Al-Ittiba pp. 74f.]
Ash-Shaykh Uthaymeen (R) said:
what was known in al-Masjid al-Haraam before the Saudi government took charge of it, where there were four congregations, each of which had an imam: a Hanbali imam who led the Hanbalis in prayer, a Shaafa’i imam who led the Shaafa’is, a Maaliki imam who led the Maalikis and a Hanafi imam who led the Hanafis. They said: This is the maqaam for the Shaafa’i, this is the maqaam for the Maaliki, this is the maqaam for the Hanafi and this is the maqaam for the Hanbali.
But when King ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (may Allah reward him with good) entered Makkah, he said: This is dividing the ummah, i.e., the Muslim ummah is being divided in one mosque, and this is not permissible. So he united them behind one imam, and this was one of his good deeds and virtues (may Allah have mercy on him). [al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (4/227-231)]

*An advise for those who have lost barakah*
One of the salaf said :
"The more I increased reading from the portion of the Qur'an, the more barakah I found in my time.. And I did not stop increasing my 'Qur'an time' untill I was able to read 10 ajza at a time !! When Diyaa Al Maqdisi wanted to go on a journey for seeking ilm, Ibrahim bin Abdul wahid Al Maqdisi advised him saying, "Increase in your recitation of the Quran and do not leave it, for the ilm (knowledge) will be made easy for you in the same proportion as how much you read from the book of Allah.
Hanbali scholar, Diyaa Al deen Al Maqdisi said (later on) : " I experienced this a lot, whenever I read more of the Qur'an, listening & writing of Hadeeth became easy and abundant for me, and whenever I didn't read, i found it not easy"

Respond to Bad Treatment with Kindness
Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah stated: "So whoever loves that Allah would replace his bad deeds with good deeds, then he should exchange the bad treatment that he receives from others with kindness. And whoever knows that sins and bad deeds are innate to mankind, then he would not dwell on the bad treatment that he receives from others."

ANSWERS COME WHEN THE TIME COMES
If Shaytān ever whispers to your heart saying, 'How long have you been supplicating but you still see no answer?'
Let your answer be, 'I worship Him with my supplications, while I am confident and certain that my supplications shall be answered. Yet, maybe the answer is postponed to bring forth a goodness that is for my interest for answers come when the time comes. And even if no answer is noted, it suffices the humility and worship I am in.'

When a person spends his entire day with no other concern but Allah alone, Allah (Subḥānahu wa ta’āla) will take care of all his needs and take care of all of that is worrying him, He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him, free his tongue so that it will speak only in remembrance of Him, and cause all his faculties to work only in obedience to Him.
