The Prophet ﷺ said:“The people who face the most difficult tests are the prophets, then the righteous, then those following them in degree. A person is tried according to his religion. So if there is firmness in his religion, then the trial is increased, and if there is a weakness, then it is lightened. Verily a trial remains with a servant until he walks the earth having no sin left upon him.” [Bukhari].

An Age of Deception
Islām has become something strange for many Muslims.
On the one hand, you have people who are educated in Islām and have knowledge, but have fallen into the trap of appeasing the atheistic values and Western ideals. As a result, the desperately try to conform to the innovated belief system which falls under the guise of science, even though science was never meant to be a religious belief, but an investigation of the world around us. In Islām, our sources are from Allāh, the Creator of everything.
On the other hand, we have general everyday Muslims among whom many are realizing that going back to learning and practicing Islām is the way to success, but fall prey to those mentioned in the previous paragraph, and thus, end up getting confusing and conflicting ideas. They look to misguided people of scholarship who have taken the liberty of watering down Islām and making it more "practical" to fit into Western ideals which are based on atheism or polytheism, or both.
Then you have self-proclaimed influencers who have turned Islām into fun, song and entertainment. They have made light of Allāh's religion. They have spoken about Allāh without knowledge. Again, their attempt is to give Muslims some "Ḥalāl" entertainment.
Lastly, there are those who are Muslims, more or less by name. They sin openly and shamelessly and find any and every excuse to justify their actions. Under the "don't judge me" nonsense, they try to find a way to put on a show of piety despite their blatant disrespect for Allāh and His religion. This last category will go to the misguided scholars and self-proclaimed influencers to get their so-called "Islamic education".
We are living in deceiving times. Don't be from any of the above. Go straight to the scholars and the books of the Sunnah. It is a matter of salvation. Islām is not something part-time, nor is it something that is custom-made to suit one's desire and convenience.
Allāh says in Noble Qur'ān 2:208
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ادْخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
O you who have believed, enter into Islām completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

The Correct Understanding Of Tawakkul (To Depend/Rely Upon Allah) and Tawakkul Subsequent Actions:
Question: - I would like a detailed explanation so that I can correctly understand the following Hadith: - “Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.”
لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا

لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا
Answer: - This Hadith was narrated by
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said:
لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا
“Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.” ” (At-Tirmithi no. 2344, Ibn Majah no.4I64, Ahmad 1/30,52, Ibn Hibban no. 2548 and Al-Hakim 4/318) “This Hadeeth is Hasan Sahih.”
The reality of Tawakkul (putting one's trust in Allah) is heartfelt, sincere reliance on Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) in bringing benefit and warding off harm, whether in the affairs of this life or the Hereafter.
The meaning of this Hadith is that if people, in their hearts, truly rely on Allah Alone and put all their trust in Him in bringing about benefit and warding off harm, while also adopting the helpful means, He will provide them with sustenance by the simplest of means, just as He provides birds with sustenance merely by their going out and coming back.
It is a kind of endeavor that shows its fruits with little effort put forth into the pursuit.
Thus, realizing Tawakkul does not contradict implementing the means that Allah (Exalted be He) has provided and the destiny, which He decreed, is based upon.
This is the Constant Law of Allah in the affairs of His Creation: He has commanded mankind to adopt the means along with His Command of putting total trust in Him. The physical effort in pursuit of means is obedience to Allah (Exalted be He), whereas reliance of the heart on Allah is Imaan in Him. Allah (Exalted be He) says:
وَعلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
So fear Allah. “And in Allah let believers put their Trust” [Ibrahim 14:11]
Tawakkul is mentioned here together with Taqwa (fear of offending Allah), which in this context stands for the duty of acting according to the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He).
Tawakkul without making use of the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He) is total incapacity, even if it is mixed with a sort of Tawakkul. People should not transform their Tawakkul into non-action, or regard their non-action as Tawakkul; rather, they should make their Tawakkul a part of the means, remembering that no end can ever be achieved unless they are all utilized.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.

In his tafsir of surah al-Anfal, al-Qurtubi mentioned the following exchange:
[سأل رجل الحسن فقال : يا أبا سعيد ; أمؤمن أنت ؟ فقال له : الإيمان إيمانان ، فإن كنت تسألني عن الإيمان بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله والجنة والنار والبعث والحساب فأنا به مؤمن . وإن كنت تسألني عن قول الله تبارك وتعالى : إنما المؤمنون الذين إذا ذكر الله وجلت قلوبهم إلى قوله أولئك هم المؤمنون حقا - فوالله ما أدري أنا منهم أم لا .]
A man asked al-Hasan al-Basri, "Abu Sa'eed, are you a mu'min?"
al-Hasan responded, "There are two levels of eman. If you are asking me about eman in Allah, His angels, His Scriptures, His Messengers, Jannah & the Hellfire, Resurrection & the Reckoning, then I am a believer in that. But if you are asking me about Allah's statement:
[إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ﴿٢﴾ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ﴿٣﴾ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّا]
"The believers are those who when Allah is mentioned their hearts become fearful and when His verses are recited to them it increases them in eman and they place their reliance on their Lord * Those who establish the prayer and spend out of what We have provided them with * Those are the true believers." [al-Anfal 2-4]
Then, by Allah, I do not know if I am one of them or not!"

Don’t get caught in personality wars
Don’t attach your Deen to personalities
Your guidance is not dependent on personalities
Remember, it is the people who are in need of the Deen of Allaah and not the other way round
If Allaah has written guidance for you, it will come to you
Do not treat the means of guidance (a personality in this case) as a source of guidance.

❓❓❓Question:
Which of the two are better; the intention or the action?
🔊Answer:
((The intention of the believer is better than his action)) –
This has been said by more than one person, and some of them raise it, so the clarification of this is from a number of angles:
Firstly: that the mere intention by itself without action is rewarded for, whilst action without intention is not rewarded for
Secondly: Whosoever sees a good, and acts it out as far as one is able to, but could not complete it – then he has the reward of the one who carried it out, due to his saying ('alaihis salaatu was salaam):
((Indeed present in Al-Madeenah there are men, you did not march along the way, and nor did you traverse a valley – except that they were with you…)) (reported by Muslim)
Thirdly: The heart is king of the body, and the body parts are his soldiers, so if the king has with himself goodness then likewise his soldiers will likewise have goodness, and if he is corrupt, then they likewise are corrupted, and so the intention is the actions of the king.
Fourthly: The repentance of the one weak against sins is correct with Ahl us Sunnah, as is the repentance of the eunuch from fornication, as is the repentance of the speechless one from false accusation, and the root of repentance is: determination of the heart.
Fifthly: Corruption does not enter into the intention, since its very foundation is love of Allaah and His Messenger, and the seeking of Allaah’s face;
this in itself is something loved by Allaah and His Messenger, and pleasing to Allaah and His Messenger. Whilst in the outward actions many missed opportunities can appear in them, for this reason the actions of the hearts alone are better than the actions of the body alone, as it is said:
“The strength of the believer lies in his heart, and his weakness is in his body” and the hypocrite is the opposite of this, and Allaah knows best.

The Heart’s Best Medicine 💖
Ibnul-Qayyimal-Jawziyyah , may Allaah have mercy upon him, says:
In short, there is nothing more beneficial for the heart than reading the Quraan and with contemplation and reflection. The Quraan encompasses all the levels of the travellers, the conditions of the workers, and stations of those possessing knowledge. It is the Quraan that generates love, desire, fear, hope, repentance, reliance, pleasure, entrustment, gratitude, patience, and the rest of the different states that are life to the heart and perfection of it. Likewise, it repels all the rebuked characteristics and actions that cause the corruption and ruin of the heart.
If people were to possess a realization of what recitation of the Quraan with contemplation contains, they would devote themselves to it at the expense of anything else. When the person reads it with reflection and he comes across an aayah that he is in need of, for the cure of his heart, he repeats it, even if he does so a hundred times or the whole night. Hence, to recite a single aayah of the Quraan with contemplation and reflection is better than reciting the Quraan to completion without any contemplation or reflection. It is also more beneficial for the heart and more conducive to attaining eemaan and tasting the sweetness of the Quraan.

The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
'When one of you goes to sleep, Satan puts three knots in the back of his head.
Every time he hangs a button he goes and says, 'you've got a long night to go.' '
When one of you wakes up and remembers Allah, the first button goes off.
When he does the small ritual washing, the second button goes off.
When he performs the prayer, the third button detaches, which makes him feel lively and fit.
If he doesn't do this, he will feel moody and lazy. '

Sometimes, you have to run away from the people you Love, not for the sake of letting them Realize your Worth, but for you to Realize your Own Worth.
Never Expect. Never Demand. Never ask. Never assume
Just let it be
If it's meant to be, it'll happen.
One day you will realize that you have been worrying too much & that God arranged everything for you better than what you have wished for....
"If they wanna talk to you, they will. If they wanna be with you, they will. If they wanna make things work, they will. Don't let things be one sided. It's not healthy and it's not fair to you"
The more healing you do, the more sensitive your body is to recognize bad energy.

PAYING Off DEBTS
The soul of a believer is tied to their debt until it is paid off.. if your family member who is owing someone money is dead, make sure to pay the debt.
If someone is owing you and the person is dead, if you can't forgive him/her the debts, see his/her families and tell them to pay the debts.

*THE PROPHET ﷺ SWEAR BY ALLĀH ON THREE QUALITIES*
Abu Kabshah 'Amr bin Sa'd (May ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said, *“I swear by ALLĀH for three (qualities) which I am going to tell you about. Remember them well:*
*1. The wealth of a man will not diminish by Sadaqah (charity).*
*2. A servant is not wronged by oppression and he endures it patiently but that ALLĀH increases him in honor.*
*3. HE who opens a gate of begging, ALLĀH opens a gate of poverty (or he said a word similar to it).”*
He ﷺ also said, *“Remember well what I am going to tell you: The world is for four kinds of people.*
*1. One upon whom ALLĀH has bestowed wealth and knowledge and so he fears his Lord in respect to them, joins the ties of blood relationship and acknowledges the Rights of ALLĀH on him (and fulfills them); this type will have the best position (in Jannah).*
*2. One upon whom ALLĀH has conferred knowledge but no wealth, and he is sincere in his intention and says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so.' If that is his intention, his reward is the same as that of the other.*
*3. One whom ALLĀH has given wealth but no knowledge and he squanders his wealth ignorantly, does not fear ALLĀH in respect to it, does not discharge the obligations of kinship and does not acknowledge the Rights of ALLĀH. Such a person will be in the worst position (in the Hereafter).*
*4. One upon whom ALLĀH has bestowed neither wealth nor knowledge and he says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so (i.e., he would squander his wealth).' If this is his intention, both will have equal sin.”* *_{At-Tirmidhi}_*
*_{Riyadh us-Saliheen: Book 1, Chapter 60, Hadith 557}_*
*COMMENTARY:*
This Hadith highlights the following points:
1. Those who forgive people and pardon them will be granted honour and elevation both in this life and in the Hereafter.
2. Those who have sufficient means to live on and still beg of people out of greed, will be afflicted with poverty.
3. The Hadith also urges us to acquire religious knowledge, and also the practise of this knowledge along with the intention to please ALLĀH Alone.
4. The Hadith also criticizes ignorance of religious teachings and ignorant people, for ignorance can easily lead one to commit forbidden acts.

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“When we are given something by Allāh, it is a trust that we are entrusted with, and we are responsible for how we use and manage it. If something is taken away from us by Allāh, it is a reminder that we do not truly own anything in this world, and we should not become attached to it. Therefore, instead of feeling anger or resentment when something is taken away, one should accept it as Allāh's Will and trust in His wisdom and plan.”
