Your Scales, Your Account, Your Reward.
The Prophet (Salallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said,
"On the Day of Judgement the scales will be placed and the people of prayer will be brought forward and they will be compensated according to the scales; then the people of fasting will be brought forward and they will be compensated according to the scales; then the people of hajj will be brought forward and they will be compensated according to the scales; and then the people afflicted with hardships and calamites [in the dunya ] will be brought forward and the scales will not be used for them nor will their records be brought out, and they will given their reward without any account, so much so that the people who used to be free of worries and calamities would wish that they were in their position, such is the immensity of their reward from Allah the Exalted."

SPEAK GOOD OR REMAIN SILENT!🥰🤲
Every human being is born with a pre-destined ‘word-count’. Just as our provisions, our actions, our lifespan, and our fate in the hereafter are written, so too is the number of words we utter above the ground.
Allāh says in the Qur’ān:
مَّا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ
“Man does not utter a single word without an observer.”
(Al-Qur’ān, 50:18)
Words by their nature, can have contrasting effects. They can be memorable but also forgotten, they can enact change but also have no influence, and they can be a cause for a person’s eternal salvation but also their eternal damnation.
The Prophet (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) said:
“A person utters a word thoughtlessly (i.e. without thinking about it being good or not) and, as a result of this, he will fall down into the fire of Hell deeper than the distance between the east and the west.”
(Bukhāri and Muslim)
Imam Nawawi elaborates:
“Every legally responsible person should refrain from saying anything except when there is a clear advantage to speaking. Whenever speaking and not speaking are of equal benefit, it is sunnah to remain silent, for permissible speech easily leads to that which is unlawful or offensive, as actually happens much or even most of the time — and there is no substitute for safety.”
Therefore, remember you are being examined. Make it incumbent upon yourself, to speak only when your words are more beneficial than your silence. A rush of blood is not an excuse to speak excessively, and thus inappropriately.
Take the advice of our Prophet (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam):
مَنْ صَمَتَ نَجَا
“Whoever is silent is saved.”
(Al-Tirmidhi)
Silence can save a person from slander, gossip, lying, backbiting, and swearing among other sins. Once the tongue utters the word, and those in your surroundings have been harmed, then begins the begging of forgiveness and feeling of regret.
As Umar ibn Al-Khattab said:
“I have never regretted my silence, as

“Allah Has Set a Measure For Everything”: Tafsir ibn al-Qayyim
In surah al-Talaq, Allah informs us that:
وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا
And whoever places their reliance on Allah, then He will be sufficient for him. Allah certainly makes His commands a reality. Allah has set a measure for everything. [65:3]
In one of his writings, the great scholar ibn al-Qayyim mentioned a beautiful point related to the arrangement of the three sentences within the above ayah when he said:
لما ذكر كفايته للمتوكل عليه ، فربما أوهم ذلك تعجيل الكفاية وقت التوكل ، فعقبه بقوله : قد جعل الله لكل شيء قدرا ، أي وقتا لا يتعداه ، فهو يسوقه إلى وقته الذي قدّره له . فلا يستعجل المتوكل ويقول : قد توكلت ودعوت فلم أر شيئا ، ولم تحصل لي الكفاية ، فالله بالغ أمره في وقته الذي قدّره له . ـ
When Allah mentioned that He will take care of those who place their reliance on Him, perhaps someone would incorrectly understand that to mean that Allah will take care of him as soon as he places his reliance on Him, so Allah then followed up that phrase by saying:
قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا
Allah has set a measure for everything
meaning: a time beyond which a thing will not last. So Allah will take a thing on its path until it reaches the end time that He set for it.
So the person who places his reliance on Allah should not be impatient and say, “I have placed my reliance on Allah and made du’a to Him but I haven’t seen anything change and I haven’t found myself being taken care of!” for Allah certainly makes His command a reality at the time that He has set for it to happen.
[I’lam al-Mawqi’een 5/10-11]
In surah al-Talaq, Allah informs us that:
وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا

Do you know you can get rewards of 7 hajj in one day?
The Prophet, صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم said: ‘Whosoever leaves his home in a state of ritual purification (wudū) to perform the obligatory prayer receives a reward like a pilgrim in the state of ihrām.’ Sunan Abu Dawud. These are five.
The Prophet, صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said: ‘Whosoever prays the dawn prayer (Fajr) in congregation, then sits remembering Allāh until the sun rises, then prays two units of prayer, will attain the complete reward of Hajj and Umrah, complete, complete.’ - Sunan At Tirmidhi This is the sixth.
The Prophet, صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ, said: ‘Whosoever goes to the mosque, desiring only to learn or teach what is good, has the reward of a complete Hajj - complete.’ at-Tabarani, classed as Saheeh by Al-Albani] This is the seventh.’”

Rulings related to Salāh Ad-Duha (Forenoon Prayer)
Meaning of Duha Prayer: Duhā is the prayer at the time when the sun has risen until Zawāl (midday).
Ruling on Duha Prayer: The Duhā prayer is Mustahab (Recommended) as agreed upon according to all four schools of thought.
Abū Dharr (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said: “…and two rak’ahs offered in the forenoon (Duha) will suffice for that.” Sahīh Muslim (no. 720)
Abū Hurairah (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: “My close friend (ﷺ) advised me to do three things: to fast three days of every month, to pray two rak‘ahs of Duha, and to pray Witr before going to sleep.” Sahīh Bukhārī (no. 1981) and Sahīh Muslim (no. 721)
Is Ishrāq Prayer the same as Duha: Sālih Ibn Uthaymīn was asked about Ishrāq and Duha prayer, and replied: The Sunnah of Ishraaq is (the same as) the Sunnah of Duha, but if it is done early, from the time when the sun has risen to the height of a spear, then it is Ishrāq prayer; if it is done at the end of its time or in the middle of its time, then it is Duha prayer. But it is (all) Duha prayer
- Liqa’ al-Bāb al-Maftūh (141/24).
Time of Duha Prayer: The time of Duha Prayer is from the time when the sun has risen to a certain height, until just before the time for Zhuhr prayer.
Shaykh Sālih Ibn Uthaymīn defined it as being from a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen until ten minutes before Zhur prayer.
- Ash-Sharh al-Mumti’ (4/122).
The best time to Pray Duha prayer: The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is preferable to offer Duha prayer when the sun’s heat has become so intense that even the young of the camels feel it." Sahīh Muslim (no. 748).
The scholars defined this as being when one quarter of the day has passed, i.e., halfway between sunrise and Zhuhr prayer.
- Al-Majmu’ by Imām al-Nawawī (4/36) and Al-Insāf by Imām Mardāwī (2/136).
How many Rak’āt (units of Prayer) is it:
Minimum: The minimum is two units of prayer. The above narration of Abū Hurairah is evidence for this.
Maximum: There two opinions on the maximum:
1 - The maximum is 8 units of Prayer: This is the view of the majority scholars.
Their evidence: Umm Hāni (may Allāh be pleased with her) said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ got up to do ghusl, and Fatimah screened him. Then he took his garment and wrapped it around himself, then he prayed eight rak’ahs of Duha prayer." Sahīh Muslim (no. 336).
2 - The second view is that there is no limit and one can pray as many units of prayer they can: This was the view of Imām At-Tabarī, Shaykh Ibn Bāz and Sālih Ibn Uthaymīn.
- Zād Al-Ma’ād (1/351-352), Ash-Sharh al-Mumti’ (4/85-86)
Their evidence: 'Aishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) narrated: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to pray four Rak'at in Duha prayer and increase (the number of Rak'at) as much as Allāh willed. Sahīh Muslim (no. 719).

“Protect yourselves against doing injustice, for injustice will be darkness (levels of darkness) on the Day of Resurrection.” [Muslim]
Injustice (wronging) appears in many forms. It could be caging a cat and not feeding it or allowing it to catch its own food until it dies. It could be cheating relatives of their inheritance. It could be ill treatment of a spouse and not fulfilling their rights. It could be treating children unfairly. It could be judging between people unfairly. It could be betraying the trust placed in one's hands (in an organization, at work, at school etc).
The end result of dhulm is indeed very serious. We need to look at our responsibilities and how we fulfill them and we need to look at how we deal with others. In the end, all our eloquence and gift of the gab will be of no avail when we stand before Allah.

When your heart is pure, and you do good to others and in return they hurt and take you for granted, know one thing:
They are the ones to lose a blessing. You're the blessing.
They may not realize it right now, and it may not hit them right away, but in time, they'll look back and see were they went wrong. They may not admit it, but they will certainly regret it.✨

*RAMADHAN 1445*
*Will it be Saudi Arabia's Ummul Qura Calendar, or will it be the Shariah of sighting the moon?*
Scientific data clearly shows that it will not be possible to sight the moon for Ramadhan 1445 on Sunday, 10th March 2024.
Below are visibility maps for Sunday from two of the best-known sights of Islamic astronomy. One is moon sighting. com and the other is the Islamic Astronomy Centre. We should understand that the scientific data to determine sighting projections are not based on opinions or estimates or guess work. They are based on established scientific data, and that is why we find that all astronomers give exactly the same projections.
The below maps affirm that there will be no moon that will be visible on Sunday, nowhere in the whole of Africa, Middle East, Europe, Asia and Australia. *Even telescope assisted sighting is not possible on Sunday.*
According to Saudi Arabia's Ummul Qura calendar, Sunday will be 29th of Shaaban, and Monday is 1st Ramadhan. The Ummul Qura calendar is not based on moon sighting projections, it is instead based on the conjunction time of the new moon in relation to sunset time.
_*The moon will not be sighted in Saudi Arabia on Sunday*_ but their Ummul Qura calendar shows 1st Ramadhan is on Monday.
The Saudi authorities have had a history of announcing the sighting of the moon, which was impossible to sight, therefore, there is a possibility the Saudis will announce having sighted the moon on Sunday. It is a possibility, it may happen or it may not happen this time, but it has happened before.
There are sections of the Ummah around the world that accept the rule of following global sighting. There are jurists, _although a minority_, who have issued rulings on the acceptance of global sighting. *But there is no single ruling on global acceptance of Saudi Arabia's Ummul Qura Calendar.*
Unfortunately, *if* Saudi authorities do announce start of Ramadhan on Monday, and people outside of Saudi Arabia do follow the Saudi declaration, then they will be adhering to a method which is unique to Saudi Arabia and not to the guidance of the Holy Prophet S.A.W.W.
Should the Ummah blindly follow the Saudi rulings when there are clear Prophetic rulings on this matter?
If the holiest sites of Islam are in Saudi Arabia, does it mean all decisions of the rulers are correct? This is not rocket science. Even the Saudi scholars themselves have repeatedly said the rest of the world should follow their own local sightings. Even if one is to accept the ruling on global sighting, it should at least be in agreement with scientific data, but if a sighting is announced which is clearly not possible, then the global sighting rule becomes invalid, it is, instead, global mayhem leading to disunity within local communities in the guise of global unity.

*Will it be Saudi Arabia's Ummul Qura Calendar, or will it be the Shariah of sighting the moon?*
Scientific data clearly shows that it will not be possible to sight the moon for Ramadhan 1445 on Sunday, 10th March 2024.
Below are visibility maps for Sunday from two of the best-known sights of Islamic astronomy. One is moon sighting. com and the other is the Islamic Astronomy Centre. We should understand that the scientific data to determine sighting projections are not based on opinions or estimates or guess work. They are based on established scientific data, and that is why we find that all astronomers give exactly the same projections.
The below maps affirm that there will be no moon that will be visible on Sunday, nowhere in the whole of Africa, Middle East, Europe, Asia and Australia. *Even telescope assisted sighting is not possible on Sunday.*
According to Saudi Arabia's Ummul Qura calendar, Sunday will be 29th of Shaaban, and Monday is 1st Ramadhan. The Ummul Qura calendar is not based on moon sighting projections, it is instead based on the conjunction time of the new moon in relation to sunset time.
_*The moon will not be sighted in Saudi Arabia on Sunday*_ but their Ummul Qura calendar shows 1st Ramadhan is on Monday.
The Saudi authorities have had a history of announcing the sighting of the moon, which was impossible to sight, therefore, there is a possibility the Saudis will announce having sighted the moon on Sunday. It is a possibility, it may happen or it may not happen this time, but it has happened before.
There are sections of the Ummah around the world that accept the rule of following global sighting. There are jurists, _although a minority_, who have issued rulings on the acceptance of global sighting. *But there is no single ruling on global acceptance of Saudi Arabia's Ummul Qura Calendar.*
Unfortunately, *if* Saudi authorities do announce start of Ramadhan on Monday, and people outside of Saudi Arabia do follow the Saudi declaration, then they will be adhering to a method which is unique to Saudi Arabia and not to the guidance of the Holy Prophet S.A.W.W.
Should the Ummah blindly follow the Saudi rulings when there are clear Prophetic rulings on this matter?
If the holiest sites of Islam are in Saudi Arabia, does it mean all decisions of the rulers are correct? This is not rocket science. Even the Saudi scholars themselves have repeatedly said the rest of the world should follow their own local sightings. Even if one is to accept the ruling on global sighting, it should at least be in agreement with scientific data, but if a sighting is announced which is clearly not possible, then the global sighting rule becomes invalid, it is, instead, global mayhem leading to disunity within local communities in the guise of global unity.

Feeding people in Ramadan is very good. But feeding your wife, Mum, Dad, sisters and brothers snd other relatives, especially those you shoulder their responsibilities, is more rewarding and in fact, an obligation.
Priotise your relatives first in your charity. Whatever is left can go out.

Yusuf عليه السلام said to his brother:
"#Grieve_not!"
Shuaib عليه السلام said to Musa عليه السلام:
"#Fear_not!"
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said to his companion: "#Be_not_Sad!"
Spreading reassurance amongst people in an hour of anxiety is from the method of the prophets.

MOST CHALLENGING FAST
▪️On the Authority of Abu Huraira
that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Perhaps a fasting person will only gain from his fasting hunger and thirst, and perhaps a person standing in prayer will only gain exhaustion"
It was narrated by Imam Ahmad (8856) and it is in As-Sahih al-Musnad (1372) for my father, Shaykh Muqbil رحمه الله📙
Keeping our limbs free from sins- no insults, no lies, no slander, and no gossip- is far more difficult then staying away from eating and drinking. Therefore fasting person must preserve his tongue, preserve his sight, preserve his hearing, preserve all his limbs, this way his fasting will hopefully not go to waste.
▪️Ibn al-Qayyim said in his book "Zad al-Ma'ad" (1/386):
Whoever’s Friday is sound, will have a peaceful week. Whoever’s Ramadan is sound will have a peaceful year. Whoever’s hajj is sound, will have a peaceful life. Friday is the scale used to balance the week, Ramadan is the scale used to balance the year and Hajj is the scale used to balance the rest of our lives.
