A Timeless Cure for All Your Worries

"Behave well in your private life and Allah will make your public life excellent.

Take care of what is between you and Allah, and he will take care of what is between you and the people.

Work for your Hereafter and Allah will suffice your affairs in this world.

Sell your worldly life for your Hereafter and you will profit in them both together, and do not sell your Hereafter for your worldly life or you will lose them both together."

Sufyan ath-Thawri رحمه الله Hilyat al-Awliya 7/35

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (🩷) said, "Seven people Allah will give them His Shade on the Day when there would be no shade but the Shade of His Throne (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection): And they are: a just ruler; a youth who grew up with the worship of Allah; a person whose heart is attached to the mosques, two men who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah; a man whom an extremely beautiful woman seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer and) says: 'I fear Allah'; a man who gives in charity and conceals it (to such an extent) that the left hand does not know what the right has given; and a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes become tearful".

[Riyad as-Salihin 449]

Less than a 100 days for Ramadan bi-idhnillah 🌾 May you and I be of those whom He blesses:

“The one whom Allāh blesses is the one who knows the truth, acts in accordance with it, and purifies his soul with beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. Such is the successful one:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

“Indeed, successful is he who purifies himself” [91:9].”

— Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله تعالى [Madārij As-Sālikīn]


قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

This could mean that whoever purifies himself by obedience to Allah, then he will be successful.

This is as Qatadah said:

"He cleanses it from the lowly and despicable characteristics."

Similar to this has been reported from Mujahid, Ikrimah and Said bin Jubayr.

[Tafsir ibn Kathir 91:9]

Take note from our brethren in the depts of their genocide. Even through the soul shattering trials, they still praise Allah (and not mere lip service either). They truly feel grateful, they truly see the khayr in what He chooses for them and they wholeheartedly submit to His Decree. Despite everything, they still choose to LIVE, and still find JOY in living, in finding beauty in their surroundings!! Subhanallah may Allah love them and grant our Ummah victory.
May Allah make us among those who see beauty and khayr in whatever He wills for us.

Tawhīd Is The Foundation of Happiness

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“The greatest way to achieve happiness is through Tawhīd. The happiness of a person’s heart depends upon its perfection, strength and increase.”

[The Keys to Happiness | Pg. 33]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“Since their creation, people have always been travelers,
‏
And they have no place to go,

Except in heaven or hell.”

THE COMMAND TO REFLECT UPON THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH

ALLĀH says,

قُلِ انظُرُواْ مَاذَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَارْضِ
Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and the earth."

ALLĀH, the Exalted, guides HIS servants to reflect upon His blessings.

ALLĀH, the Exalted, guides HIS servants to reflect upon HIS blessings. What ALLĀH has created in the heavens and the earth is part of the clear signs for those who possess correct understanding. From that which is in the heavens are the luminous stars, the firmaments, the moving planetary bodies, the sun and the moon. This also includes the night and day, their alternating, and their merging so that one is long and the other is short. Then they alternate (through the year) so that the long one becomes short and the short one becomes long. Likewise, from the signs in the heavens is the rising of the sun, its vastness, its beauty and its adornment.

Also, whatever rain that ALLĀH sends down from the heavens, thereby bringing the earth to life after its death, and causing various types of fruits, crops, flowers and plants to grow, is from its signs. Whatever ALLĀH creates in the earth from the various species of beasts, with their differing colors and benefits (for man), are signs. The mountains, plains, deserts, civilizations, structures and barren lands of the earth are signs.

Then there are the wonders of the sea and its waves. Yet, it still has been made subservient and submissive to those who travel upon its surface. It carries their ships, allowing them to traverse upon it with ease. This is all under the control of the Most Able; there is no GOD worthy of worship except HIM and there is no true Lord other than HIM.

{Tafsi‌r Ibn Kathīr}

Keep working on your heart. Try to replace the diseases with mushin acts. Don't let shaitan think that you're a lost cause. As long as Allah has given you life, He has given you respite to turn to Him. Seek His Help in purifying yourself 💗

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected.

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,.

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)].".

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "During the Mi'raj (the Night of Ascension), I saw a group of people who were scratching their chests and faces with their copper nails. I asked, 'Who are these people, O Jibril?' Jibril replied: 'These are the people who ate flesh of others (by backbiting) and trampled people's honour."'

“We search for happiness, while it exists on an abandoned shelf in a book sent down from the seventh heaven, in which there is healing and mercy.”

Allah does not wish to burden you 💗

يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلاَ يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُواْ الْعِدَّةَ

Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you.

Ibn Uthaymin:

“Always keep in mind the fact that Allāh wants you to be happy all the time, far from grief.”

[Sharh Bulugh al-Maram 3/532-533]

Only none of it was 'little' if we really ponder...
May Allah open our eyes more to His Blessings and Mercy upon us and grant us to be more humble and grateful.

✨Sa’eed ibn Jubayr (رحمه الله) said:

“… to continue in sin” i. e. that he prefers to sin and put off repenting,

so he says, “I will repent later, I will do good deeds later”

until death comes to him while he is at his lowest point and his worst deeds.”


💠So it is essential that we strive diligently to overcome the cycle of sin.


@AlTazdhkir

Like slandering Muslims?

‎ومن سرّح لسانه في أعراض المسلمين، واتبع عوراتهم أمسك الله لسانه عن الشهادة عند الموت

Ibn al-Jawzi said: Whoever sets his tongue free to slander and speak about the honor of the Muslims, and seeks their faults, Allāh will hold back his tongue from professing the Shahādah at the time of death!

FRIDAY REMINDERS 📖

Send Many Salutations upon the Prophet 📿💙

Narrated Aws ibn Aws;
The Prophet 📿 said:
Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he died, on it the last trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made, so invoke more blessings on me that day, for your blessings will be submitted to me. The people asked: Messenger of Allah, how can it be that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He replied: Allah, the Exalted, has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.
(Sunan Abi Dawud 1047)

📿 اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ ❁ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Dua in the Last Hour 🤲

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that;
The Messenger of Allah 🤍said:
"Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim slave who asks Allah سبحانه و تعالى for something but He will give it to him, so seek it in the last hour after 'Asr."

Little Muwahiddeen (Islamic studies and aqeeda book for children) by Al-Muttaqun

Download & share!

A very young sister of ours has been arrested for publishing, distributing and teaching this books to young kids.

What she had to say after her arrest was:

“All praise is to Allah that I gave out so many not long ago, they only found a few copies at my house.”

May Allah safeguard our Ukht D.T, protect her from all harm and evil, love her, pour sakinah upon her and free her from their clutches. [Don't share articles about her as they have revealed pictures of her without shari'i libas. Have ghayrah over your sister in Deen]

How about spiting the kuffar more and spreading this book around with a bit more intensity, yeah?

Allah says
"No calamity occurs on earth or within your own souls except that it is written in a record before We bring it into being" (57:22)

Imam Al-Hasan رحمه اللّه said:
"Every hardship between the heavens and the earth has been written in a record long before a single soul drew its first breath."

[Ibn Abi al-Dunya, Al-Faraj, p. 38]

@FleetingDunyah

‘Umar Ibn al-Khattāb (raḍiyAllāhu ‘anhu) said:

Assume the best about your brother (fellow Muslims; companion, spouse, friend, acquaintance, family).

[Abu Dawud, Kitaab az-Zuhd, article 89]

Ash-Sharh 94:6
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًا

Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).

There's so much going around the world that people aren't aware of. For example the genocide that's happening in Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon…etc!

Going to a Palestine event just for the pictures and then posting them on your SOCIALS won't help our Ummah!

Everything we post we have to imply it on our lives. Many people go to these event just to get more likes or followers on their socials and this wouldn't benefit our Ummah thats SUFFERING!!

Remember that we will be questioned about this on yawm al-Qiyamah!

Umm Salamah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No Muslim is afflicted with a calamity but that he should say what Allah has commanded him:

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Allah we will return. (2:156) O Allah, reward me in my affliction and replace it with something better than it.

If he does so, Allah will replace it with something better.”

Such a simple instruction and such a beautiful Promise. Do we believe our Lord?

📰 A Palestinian man has said he buried 117 members of his family after they were killed in Israeli attacks on Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.

The town has been under an Israeli siege and ground offensive for 27 days.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Mohammad Nabil Essa Baraka Abu Nasr explained that he is the sole adult survivor of his family, and that he was forced to retrieve and bury all his family members as civil defence teams could not access the area due to the intensity of Israeli bombardment.
