*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.

The Titanic was constructed by hundreds of men, and its captain announced that this ship will never perish. On it first voyage in the ocean it sunk.
Mean while, Nuh عليه السلام constructed a huge ship all by himself and he announced: “With the name of ALLAH it sails and anchors.” (Surat Hud:41). The entire world became flooded, and his ship was the only thing that survived.
This is the result of true توكل على الله reliance upon Allah
Be with Allah, Allah will always be with you.

“Part of a person’s being a good Muslim is leaving alone that which does not concern him.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2317); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
The meaning of this hadeeth is that part of his being a good Muslim is that he refrains from doing and saying that which does not concern him, and he does and says only that which does concern him, i.e., he has something to do with it. Mostly what is meant by refraining from that which does not concern him is guarding his tongue against idle talk.
This includes not speaking about, looking at, listening to, striking a blow, walking towards or thinking about anything for no purpose, and keeping away from all outward and inward actions that have to do with things that do not concern you.
Allah says do not ask unnecessary questions.
the Prophet (salalaahu Alaihi wasalam ) said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart [by at least hating it and believing that it is wrong and making dua Allah changes the person ], and that is the weakest of faith.” Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh.
This two Hadiths are different.
One is showing us to only mind our business and things that has nothing to do with us while the other is teaching us to help protect the people around us from Allah's punishment by adving and correcting them when they are are doing something haram.

Life is all about experiencing different chapters, meeting new people, developing bonds with them, creating lasting relationships and loving each other.
But at times, people we love, cherish and care so much about, have to go away.
It’s inevitable.
Going away may include going to a school in another town or country,
getting a job far away from home and even passing on.
Each one of us has gone through that emotional phase once or twice in our lives or many more.
Sometimes, those people that we care so much about just decide to change due to some strange reasons that we may never understand.
In other times, we fight and disagree and due to that, we may decide to part ways.
Whatever the circumstances that may have separated you, there will come a time when you will be missing someone you love and wish they were close to you.
When you remember the good times that you spent together, the memories you created and the priceless moments that you gifted each other with,
You may feel like you are strong enough to wait for them but missing someone at the same time can be a killing feeling.
The more you think of a person, the more it hurts and usually, you will end up crying.
No one is immune to that unbearable emotion...
It will hit you so bad to a point where you can’t even think straight and all you will want to do is be by yourself and cry yourself to sleep.
But, don’t despair..!! there is a way to let the other person know exactly how you feel. It is said that words can launch a thousand ships, which is indeed true. the power of words must never be underestimated yet with some people words don't reach their hearts.

HOW ARE MEN KNOWN?
From Sulaymaan ibn Mus-hir: from Kharashah ibn al-Hurr, who said:
"A man bore witness in the presence of Umar ibn al-Khattaab -radiyallaahu anhu, so Umar said to him: “I don't know u, and it doesn't harm you that I don't know u, but bring some1 who does know u”
So a man said: ‘I know him, O Chief of the Believers.’
He said: What do u know of him.
He said: Uprightness.
He said: “Is he ur closest neighbour; so that you know about his night & his day,& his comings & goings?
He said: No.
He said: “So have u had (monetary) dealings with him involving dirhams & deenars, which will indicate his piety?”
He said: No.
He said: “Then has he been ur companion upon a journey which could indicate to u his good character?”
He said: No
He said: Then u dont know him.
Then he said to the man: “Bring me someo1 who knows u.

They’ll become used to saying: “God is Forgiving and Merciful!”
Even as they show disobedience, they’ll say (with false optimism): “He’ll forgive us”

Not everything in your life deserve quick lunching on social media.
