Forwarded from Shaykh Musa Abdullah Jibrīl
“A crystal clear heart warrants a content life, free from worry and stress. When you forgive and overlook the faults and harm caused by others, nothing of this Dunya disrupts your happiness. So ask yourself, instead of bearing a heart imprisoned with grudges, wouldn’t you rather carry a heart that is free, as well as a hefty reward in the Akhirah?
No son of Adam is free from faults or sin. But the one who consistently nurtures and cleanses their heart is the most loved by Allah (سبحانه وتعالى). On the authority of Abu Hurayrah,
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَجْسَادِكُمْ وَلاَ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ
"Verily Allah does not look to your bodies nor to your faces, but He looks to your hearts…”
And verily the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the best of creation who we look up to in all our matters, Abdullah Ibn Mas’ūd (رضي الله عنه) said,
إِنَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ ، فَوَجَدَ قَلْبَ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرَ قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ ، فَاصْطَفَاهُ لِنَفْسِهِ ، وَابْتَعَثَهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ
“Verily, Allah looked at the hearts of the servants and He found that the heart of Muhammad, صلى الله عليه وسلم, was the best among them, so He choose him for Himself and He sent him with His message.”
Shaykh Musa hadn’t completed the recitation of this Hadīth before he started intensely weeping. Allah chose His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) for his heart. So what does that tell us of what our status would be with Allah if we strove to cleanse and purify it always?
May Allah bless Shaykh Musa and protect him always.

AYAT OF THE DAY 🍃
At-Taghabun 64:11
مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِ قَلۡبَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ
No calamity befalls, but with the Leave [i.e. decision and Qadar (Divine Preordainments)] of Allah, and whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart [to the true Faith with certainty, i.e. what has befallen him was already written for him by Allah from the Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], and Allah is the All-Knower of everything.

“Liberate your tongue to indulge in the remembrance of Allāh, but if you are unable to do so, then at the very least, restrain it from backbiting.”

"Don't hate those who lied to you, cheated and betrayed you. It will teach you to rely on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and expect less from creation. They will be answerable for their deeds and you will be accountable for your deeds.
Forgive them and leave everything to Allah. He is Just."

When you see someone who is not as religious, remember that you were once on the edge of the fire, and it was Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala's favor upon you to guide you. Arrogance will wipe away any goodness from the transformation.
"Islam is not about "we're better than you". Rather it is about "let me show you something that is better for you"
"You can't change someone's behavior, all you can do is remind them, and hope that Allah will change their heart."
Surround yourselves with people who remind you of ALLAH ~

If you've ever been confused by the hate you're getting from some people even though you've never done anything wrong to them, it's possible that it's not your fault at all.
Often, hate is born from insecurities that some are unable to overcome from within. Walk away peacefully ~

Sometimes it's better to let it be.
Let it be and remember that Allah is watching everything. He knows what is in every heart, he knows who has wronged you and who has been good to you. Even if it all seems upside down, don't you worry.
Just keep being the best version of yourself and let Allah handle the rest.
Because don't forget, you are doing nothing wrong if you're ignoring the nonsense around you, and being true. Just be you ~

ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَهُمۡ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُمۡ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
They have made their oaths a screen (for their hypocrisy). Thus they hinder (men) from the Path of Allah. Verily, evil is what they used to do.
