“And despair not of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.”

(Surah Yusuf:87)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin ‘Amr:

A person asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ):

"What (sort of) deeds in or (what qualities of) Islam are good?"

He replied,

"To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you don't know.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari | 28]

Al-Anbiya 21:10
لَقَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ كِتَٰبًا فِيهِ ذِكۡرُكُمْۖ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ


Indeed, We have sent down for you (O mankind) a Book, (the Quran) in which there is Dhikrukum, (your Reminder or an honour for you i.e. honour for the one who follows the teaching of the Quran and acts on its orders). Will you not then understand?

Aal-e-Imran 3:118
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمۡ لَا يَأۡلُونَكُمۡ خَبَالًا وَدُّواْ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ قَدۡ بَدَتِ ٱلۡبَغۡضَآءُ مِنۡ أَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَمَا تُخۡفِى صُدُورُهُمۡ أَكۡبَرُۚ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِۖ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ

O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.

One forgotten aspect of loving your brethren for the sake of الله

Seeking forgiveness for them. Especially for wrongdoings or hurt (intentionally or unintentionally) they may have done to you.

Loving your brother and sister purely for the sake of الله means you shudder at the thought of them being punished by Him, either in this dunya, or worse, in the Hereafter- especially with regards to something related to you.

So hasten to forgive each other. Let go of personal grudges. (RACE!)

Make your hearts clean.

#Copied

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The parable of the believer and faith is that of a horse in its stable. It roams about and then returns to its stable. Verily, the believer becomes negligent and then returns back to faith.”

Musnad Aḥmad 11312

The person who treats others kindly and thinks well of them, will find that his intention will remain true, he will feel at ease, his heart will be sound and Allah will protect him from evil and calamity.

[Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullah), Madarij al-Salikeen, 2/511]

Know that the harm of the people against you- especially evil speech- does not harm you; rather it harms them, unless you preoccupy yourself by giving it importance and [thus] it dominates your emotions, then it will harm you as it harms them. Indeed, it will not harm you in anyway if you pay no attention to it.

—Imaam As-Sadi [rahimahullaah]
[Source: (Al-Wasaa-il Al-Mufeedah: page:30). abridged and slightly paraphrased]

Worst type of generosity

Imam Ibn Taymiyyah said:

"The worst type of generosity is being generous in gifting your good deeds to others due to backbiting, tale-carrying, lying, swearing and insulting."

[Majmoo al-fataawa 8|303]

AYAH OF THE DAY 🍂

Saba' 34:20
وَلَقَدۡ صَدَّقَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ إِبۡلِيسُ ظَنَّهُۥ فَٱتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

And indeed Iblis (Satan) did prove true his thought about them, and they followed him, all except a group of true believers (in the Oneness of Allah).

What is the meaning of Shukr (Gratitude)?

“Shukr is to display the effects of the blessings of Allaah upon the tongue by way of praise and acknowledgement; in the heart by way of witnessing and love; and upon the limbs by way of submission and obedience.”

[Ibn Al-Qayyim in Madaarij As-Saalikeen, 2/244]

AYAH OF THE DAY 💐

Al-An'am 6:70
وَذَرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمۡ لَعِبًا وَلَهۡوًا وَغَرَّتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَذَكِّرۡ بِهِۦٓ أَن تُبۡسَلَ نَفۡسٌۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِىٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ وَإِن تَعۡدِلۡ كُلَّ عَدۡلٍ لَّا يُؤۡخَذۡ مِنۡهَآۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُبۡسِلُواْ بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ۖ لَهُمۡ شَرَابٌ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡفُرُونَ

And leave alone those who take their religion as play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But remind (them) with it (the Quran) lest a person be given up to destruction for that which he has earned, when he will find for himself no protector or intercessor besides Allah, and even if he offers every ransom, it will not be accepted from him. Such are they who are given up to destruction because of that which they have earned. For them will be a drink of boiling water and a painful torment because they used to disbelieve.

“Indeed, Allah and His Angels send blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to send] blessing upon him and peace”
