AYAT OF THE DAY ☄️

Al-Hajj 22:31
حُنَفَآءَ لِلَّهِ غَيۡرَ مُشۡرِكِينَ بِهِۦۚ وَمَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَخۡطَفُهُ ٱلطَّيۡرُ أَوۡ تَهۡوِى بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ


Hunafa' Lillah (i.e. to worship none but Allah), not associating partners (in worship, etc.) unto Him and whoever assigns partners to Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place.

اللَّه އަށް إخلاص ތެރިވެ، باطل މަގުން އެއްކިބާވެ، حق ގެ މަގަށް تبع ވެތިބެ، އެކަލާނގެއަށް شريك ނުކުރާ حال ގައެވެ. އަދި اللَّه އަށް شريك ކުރާމީހާ (ދަންނާށެވެ!) ފަހެ، އެމީހާ އުޑުން ވެއްޓި، ދޫނިތައް އެމީހާ ޖަހައިގަނެގެން ގެންދާ ނުވަތަ ވައިގެ ބާރުން ދުރުތަނަކަށް ވެއްޓިގެންދާ މީހެއްފަދައެވެ.

I think one of the whispers of shaytan to make the hijab/niqab difficult to wear is by making it seem like the struggle has to do with other people (what would people do/say.)

The only struggle is with your nafs. Once you overcome that, it becomes easy. Same with any act of worship, once you recognize it’s only for Allah it becomes easy. After all, we were created to worship Him.

‎“Beware of directing others towards ﷲ, whilst allowing yourself to become deprived of the [straight] path. Always seek refuge with ﷲ, lest you become a bridge crossing; leading [others] to paradise whilst you yourself will be cast into Hell.”

An amazing audio lecture by Sheykh as usual, that will boost up your morale in getting prepared for this Ramadan, a must listen for every Muslim who would like to achieve something in this Ramadan Insha'Allah.

Al-Ahqaf 46:28
فَلَوۡلَا نَصَرَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ قُرۡبَانًا ءَالِهَةًۢۖ بَلۡ ضَلُّواْ عَنۡهُمْۚ وَذَٰلِكَ إِفۡكُهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ

Then why did those whom they had taken for aliha (gods) besides Allah, as a way of approach (to Allah) not help them? Nay, but they vanished completely from them (when there came the torment). And that was their lie, and their inventions which they had been inventing (before their destruction).

Ibn Taymiyyah said:

"Whoever says to another 'Supplicate for me', intending by that benefit for them both, him and his brother (whom he requested supplication from) are from those who aid one another upon birr (piety) and taqwa (fearing Allah)"

[Majmoo al-Fatawa 1/133]

Ibn Qudamah رحمه الله said:

“Know that a person floating on a piece of wood in the ocean is not in more need of Allah and His mercy, than a person in his home, sitting between his family and property. When this meaning becomes ingrained in your heart, then rely on Allah like a drowning person who doesn’t know of any other means to salvation but Allah.”

[Al-wasiyatul Mubarakah, pg. 77]

‎Sufyan Ath-Thawrī رحمه الله said:

‎“No act of worship is greater than seeking ‘ilm, if ones intentions are correct.”

‎Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said:

‎“Allah divided [His] mercy into 100 parts. He kept 99 parts with Him & sent down 1 part to the earth. From that 1 part, the creation is merciful to each other, such that a horse raises its hoof over its child for fear of trampling it.” (Bukhari 6000)

@FadingShadow

We also had dreams... until we found Tawhid. Then we said: "Let the Dunya be theirs and the Akhirah be ours."

And all praise is to Allah who guided us while we were not worthy of it or contributed to it.

"...And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it." (3:103)

May Allah let us always be among the grateful ones and may He allow us to show our gratitude with deeds that are most beloved to Him. آمين
