Mujahid (رحمه الله) said:

"No people ever sat in a meeting and left before remembering Allah, without a putrid, rotting smell; and their meeting will bear witness to their heedlessness. Likewise no people ever sat in a meeting and remembered Allah before they left, without leaving perfumed in fragrance, sweeter than the smell of musk; and their meeting will bear witness to their mindfulness."

[Jaami' al-'Uloom wal Hikam]

‎Al-Ḥāfidh Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:

‎"If only the perfect, and those free from sins, gave advice, nobody would have ever advised anyone after the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ because there is no perfection for anyone after him."

‎[Latā'if al-Ma'ārif, p. 19]

Ibn Al-Jawzī (رحمه الله) said:

‎“The example of the person of Ghībah (backbiting) is like a person who sets up a catapult and launches his good deeds in all directions”

‎— [Bahr Ad-Dumū‘ 131]

جَزَآؤُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٍ تَجۡرِى مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًاۖ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُۥ

Their reward with their Lord is 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity), underneath which rivers flow, they will abide therein forever, Allah Well-Pleased with them, and they with Him. That is for him who fears his Lord.

There are two roads you can take:

"Remember me and I will remember you!". Quran 2:152

"They forgot Allah so He forgot them". Quran 9:67

In trials, remember the verse that gives hope of a better tomorrow:

{You do not know, it may be that Allah will afterward bring a new situation.} 65:1

Shaykh Ahmad Jibril حفظه الله

“And few of My servants are grateful.” 
— Quran 34:13 —

“The knowledge of a hypocrite is in his speech, while the knowledge of a believer is in his actions”

— Abdullah bin al-Mu’taz | Iqtida-ul ilmi al-amal]

An-Nasr - 110:2

وَرَأَيۡتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدۡخُلُونَ فِى دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفۡوَاجًا


And you see that the people enter Allah's religion (Islam) in crowds,

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ

"And your Lord says, 'Call upon Me; I will respond to you.'" [Ghafir]

Ponder.

Call upon me. I WILL respond to you.

I WILL respond to you.

The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said,

‎“Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”

‎[Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4031]

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله:

‎"If the people knew that missing the prayer is the same as missing the month of Ramadan, they would strive to pray at the appointed times."

‎- Minhaj As-Sunnah An-Nabawi, 5/230

The Noble Scholar Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān حفظه الله stated:

‎"If the person has implemented the Qurān even if hasn't memorized it, he is (considered to be) from the people of the Qurān."

AYAT OF THE DAY 💢

As-Saf - 61:3

كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُونَ

Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do.

English - Ibn Kathir
Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do.

Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud recorded that Abdullah bin `Amir bin Rabi`ah said,

"Allah's Messenger came to us while I was a young boy, and I went out to play. My mother said, `O Abdullah! Come, I want to give you something.' Allah's Messenger said to her,

وَمَا أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ

What did you want to give him?

She said, `Dates.'

He said,

أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلِي كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكِ كَذْبَة

If you had not given them to him, it would have been written as a lie in your record."

Muqatil bin Hayyan said,
