[Among the branches of faith related to iḥsān is:]

Despising disbelief, immorality, and disobedience, and rejecting the distressing things that Shayṭān hurls at humans through whisperings.

It branches off into feeling joy for good deeds and sorrow for bad deeds and not willingly giving up any part of one’s religion (al-shuḥḥ bi-l-dīn).

—Turjamān shuʿab al-īmān, Sirāj al-Dīn Abū Ḥafṣ ʿUmar bin Ruslān al-Bulqīnī (d805AH).

—Musa Furber

Thus, interpreting the hadith as addressing lies with grave consequences is consistent with the broader principles of Islamic law, which consider the severity of sin based on its harm and context. Claiming that any falsehood intended to amuse is a major sin contradicts our understanding of major sins, which are defined by their grave consequences, such as murder, perjury, and disobedience to parents."

Allahu A'lam

ومنهم ابن الوزير الصنعاني (ت840هـ) : حيث قال في كتابه (الروض الباسم : 2/ 440) خلال بيانه أن (المجاز) ليس كذبًا : " إن الكذب هو : ما قصد المتكلِّم به إيهامَ السامع ما ليس بصدق ، والمتجوِّز لم يقصد ذلك . وهذا هو الفرق بين الاستعارة والكذب ، كما ذكره أهل البيان" .

3- Al-Kafawi in Al-Kulliyat defined lying as:
"𝗧𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵."
ومنهم الكفوي في (الكليات) ، حيث قال : « الكذب : الإخبار عن الشيء بخلاف ما هو ، مع العلم به ، وقَصْدِ الحقيقة . فخرج بالأول : الجهل، وبالثاني : المجاز» .

Conclusion:

Untruth's are not considered 'lying', if the audience understands your true intent.

And even 'lies' are permissible if they serve a good purpose and remove harm.

Imam Abu Ahmad al-Karaji al-Qassab (d. ~360 AH) commented in his book Al-Nukat wal-Bayan:
"𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮'𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺, 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲. This supports the hadith: 'Lying is only permissible in three cases, one of which is reconciliation between people.' It also shows that using strategies to achieve rights or rectify matters is lawful."
ولذلك استنبط من هذه الآية الإمام السُّني أبو أحمد الكرَجي القصاب (المتوفى نحو سنة 360هـ) هذا الاستنباط ، وهو قوله في كتابه (النكت والبيان) : «حجة في جواز المعاريض، بل في إباحة الكذب فيما دعا إلى الصلاح والخير، ودفع الحرج فيه. وزوال المأثم في تكريره، وهو يؤيد حديث رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم: " لا يصلح الكذب إلا في ثلاث ، أحدها: في الإصلاح بين الناس " ، ودليل في أن الوصول إلى الحقوق وصلاح ذات البين مباح بالحيل» . انتهى كلامه .

Finally, the Context of the Hadith:
وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ بِالْحَدِيثِ لِيُضْحِكَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ فَيَكْذِبُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ
"𝗪𝗼𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵, 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗪𝗼𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗺! 𝗪𝗼𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗺!" (Tirmidhi 2315 - hassan).

Sh Haatim al-Awni explained:
وأما الحديث المسؤول عنه : فهو (أولا) لا يتجاوز درجة الحسن ؛ لأنه من حديث بهز بن حكيم عن أبيه عن جده . وثبوت لفظ الحديث الحسن دون درجة ثبوت لفظ الحديث الصحيح ، ولذلك لا يكاد يُعتمد عليه في الاستقلال بحكم لم يرد في غيره ، خاصة إن انفرد به ، وبالأخص إن خالف الأصول .
ولذلك إن قبلنا لفظ الحديث ، فلا بد من تنزيله على القصص الكاذبة التي قد يتوهم الناس صدقها ، ويكون في القصة أذية لمسلم بغيبة أو قذف أو التي تثير النعرات والفتن أو التي تتجاوز ذلك إلى السخرية بالله تعالى أو برسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم أو بحكم شرعي .
والذي يوجب مثل هذا التأويل ، فوق ما سبق من بيان معنى الكذب ، وأن الطرائف ليست كذبا أصلا : هو التنبه إلى أن الكذب منه ما هو من الصغائر ومنه ما هو الكبائر ، وليس كله من الكبائر ، وإنما يكبر بتعاظم مفسدته أو بغلبته على حديث المتكلّم على وجه الاستخفاف كاستخفاف مرتكب الكبيرة . والحديث المسؤول عنه قد تضمن وعيدا شديدا، مما يدل على أن المقصود بالكذب المتوعَّد عليه كذبٌ من كبائر الذنوب ، وكذب النكات (لو سميناه كذبا) وخلا عن مفاسد أذية المسلمين ونحوها من المفاسد ، لن يكون له مفسدة ظاهرة أصلا ، فضلا عن مفسدة عظيمة ، فلا يمكن أن يكون من الكبائر ، مما يُوجب تأويل الحديث على كذب من الكبائر ، دونما سواه. ولا يمكن أن يُفهم الحديث بعرضه على أصول الشرع إلا على هذا التأويل ؛ لأن ادعاء أن أي كذب بقصد الإضحاك كبيرة يخالف ما عرفناه من واقع الكبائر المتفق عليها أنها من الذنوب التي تعظم مفسدتها : كالقتل والعقوق وشهادة الزور .
"As for the hadith in question: First, it does not exceed the grade of hasan (acceptable), as it is narrated by Buhays ibn Hakim from his father, from his grandfather. A hasan hadith, while reliable, is not as robust in authenticity as a sahih (authentic) hadith. Therefore, it should not be the sole basis for deriving rulings, especially if it stands alone or contradicts established principles.

'Lying' to make people laugh:

All 'untruths' are not considered 'lies':

1- An example is the statement of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) in the Qur'an - when he broke all the idols and hung the axe on the neck of the biggest idol and said to the moshrikeen:
بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كَانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ
"𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 (𝗶𝗱𝗼𝗹𝘀) 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁. 𝗦𝗼 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸." (Qur'an 21:63)
This is not considered a lie, because Ibrahim's intent was to emphasize the inability of the idols to act or speak, not to claim an actual event. As Ibn Qutaybah mentioned, the statement made the idols' speech a condition for the action, which was impossible.

2- In the story of Yusuf (peace be upon him), his brothers were accused of theft:
فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمْ بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ السِّقَايَةَ فِي رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَارِقُونَ
"𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 (𝗬𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗳) 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗴. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁: '𝗢 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗻, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝘀!'" (Qur'an 12:70)
In reality, they had not stolen anything, but Yusuf (peace be upon him) used this tactic for a noble purpose revealed later in the story.
This is not considered 'lying'.

3- The angel sent to test the leper, bald man, and blind man in the famous hadith disguised himself and said:
رجل مسكين، تقطعت بي الحبال في سفري، فلا بلاغ اليوم إلا بالله ثم بك، أسألك بالذي أعطاك اللون الحسن، والجلد الحسن، والمال، بعيرا أتبلغ عليه في سفري
"𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿. 𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝘀𝗼 𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲."
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3464
Though the angel's statement did not reflect his reality, it served a divine purpose and caused no harm. Thus, not every statement contrary to reality qualifies as lying, especially if the intent is understood or justified.
وفي قصة الملك الذي بعثه الله تعالى إلى الرجال الثلاثة : الأقرع والأبرص والأعمى ، فتصور لكل واحد بصورته ، ثم قال له : « رجل مسكين، تقطعت بي الحبال في سفري، فلا بلاغ اليوم إلا بالله ثم بك، أسألك بالذي أعطاك اللون الحسن، والجلد الحسن، والمال، بعيرا أتبلغ عليه في سفري .. » ، إلى آخر الخبر ، وفيه خبرٌ مخالفٌ للواقع أخبر به ملَك من الملائكة! ما يبيّن أن الخبر المخالف للواقع (وهو الكذب) ، إن كان في عِلْمِ المخبِر أن السامع سيعلم بحقيقة الخبر ، وأنه لن يضره بخبره ذاك، فهو ليس من الكذب المحرَّم في شيء، بل تسميته بالكذب حينها توسع في الإطلاق ، مما يعني أنه ليس كل إخبار بخلاف الواقع كذبا بإطلاق .

So what is considered 'Lying'?

1- The jurist Abu Bakr al-Saydalani al-Shafi’i (d. 427 AH) explained in Nihayat al-Matlab (19/25) regarding poets exaggerating in praise:
"This is not considered lying because 𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵. 𝗣𝗼𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆; 𝘁𝗵𝘂𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘀."
الفقيه أبو بكر الصيدلاني الشافعي - مُحَمَّد بن دَاوُد بن مُحَمَّد الدَّاودِيّ - (ت427هـ) ، حيث قال عن خروج الشاعر إلى حد الكذب في وصفٍ أو مدح وإطراء : « هذا لا يلتحق بالكذب؛ فإن الكذب من يُخبر ويُري الكذبَ صدقًا، والشعر صناعة، وليس غرض الشاعر أن يُصدَّق في شعره، فليس إذن من الكذابين » . نهاية المطلب للجويني (19/ 25).

2- Ibn al-Wazir al-San’ani (d. 840 AH) stated in Al-Rawd al-Basim (2/440) when distinguishing metaphor from lying:
"𝗟𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀. This is the distinction between metaphor and lying, as noted by scholars of rhetoric."

Allah's Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

❝Guard yourself from the Hellfire, even with half of a date in charity. If one cannot find it, then with a kind word.❞

[Sahih al-Bukhãri 6540]

Extra marital affairs

A). Women.

A dedicated man cannot give his wife 24/7 attention or time. Don't let unemployed men make you feel like your husband is not putting in enough effort. It's usually only an unemployed man who is able to stay with a woman all day and all the time. He doesn't need to take care of your children, he doesn't need to pay all the bills, he just gives you praises on the selfies or videos you send him, your husband is outside earning hard for you. Do you think he is going to marry you after you take divorce from your husband?
Not at all madam!

B) Men.

A woman left her household just for you, you need to be caring, giving her attention and even do childish things with her, you can take your seriousness outside. But here you are, free mixing with your colleagues, doing khe khe kha kha, shaking hands with them and dating them in the name of hangout with friends.

Here is what you need to do.

1. Struggling to feed your children and parents.

K'ab bin Ajrah said:
قال : مر على النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - رجل ، فرأى أصحاب رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - من جلده ونشاطه ، فقالوا : يا رسول الله : لو كان هذا في سبيل الله ؟ ، فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : " إن كان خرج يسعى على ولده صغارا فهو في سبيل الله ، وإن كان خرج يسعى على أبوين شيخين كبيرين فهو في سبيل الله ، وإن كان يسعى على نفسه يعفها فهو في سبيل الله ، وإن كان خرج رياء ومفاخرة فهو في سبيل الشيطان " .
A man passed in front of Prophet peace be upon him, The companions saw his ability and activity and said: O Messenger of Allah, What If his activity is for the sake of Allah? He peace be upon him said: If he is struggling for his little children then it is for the sake of Allah, If he is struggling for his old parents then it is for the sake of Allah, And if he doing to show-off and being famous then it is for shaitan. [at-Tabrani fe al Awsat 6835, Saheeh al Jaam`e 1428]

2. Ibn Kathir said:

" وكان من أخلاقه صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه جميل العشرة، دائم البشر، يداعب أهله، ويتلطف بهم، ويوسعهم نفقته، ويضاحك نساءه،
It was the practice of the Messenger of Allah to be KIND, CHEERFUL, PLAYFUL with his wives, COMPASSIONATE, SPENDING on them and LAUGHING with them.

(Tafsir Ibn Kathir under 4 : 19)

3. Shaikh ibn Uthaymin رحمہ اللہ said:
بعض الناس ينفق على أهله، ولكنه لا يشعر بأنه يتقرب إلى الله بهذا الإنفاق، و لو جاءه مسكين و أعطاه ريالا واحدا يشعر بأنه متقرب إلى الله بهذه الصدقة، و لكن الصدقة الواجبة على الأهل أفضل و أكثر أجراً .
Some people spend on their families unknowingly that they're getting closeness to Allah through it, if a needy person come to them, they give him a Riyal thinking it is leading them closer to Allah however the wajib sadqa which is spent on family is more rewarding and virtuous than voluntary sadqa.

The Best And The Worst Places

A man asked, “Which places are worst?”

The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, “I will not know until I ask Gabriel.”

Then he ﷺ asked Gabriel, and he said, “I will not know until I ask Michael.”

Michael came, and he said, “The best places are the mosques, and the worst places are the markets.”

[Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 1599]

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ شَرٌّ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ جِبْرِيلَ فَسَأَلَ جِبْرِيلَ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ مِيكَائِيلَ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ خَيْرُ الْبِقَاعِ الْمَسَاجِدُ وَشَرُّهَا الأَسْوَاقُ

Virtues Of Reciting Surah Kahf On Fridays

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said:

“The person who recites Surah Kahf on Fridays, a nur will appear for him from below the arsh as high as the skies. This light will help him in the darkness of the day of resurrection . And all the sins which he may have committed from the last Friday till this Friday will be forgiven . ”

(Sharh Sifrus-Sa’aadah)

The ulama have written that this Hadith refers to minor sins because major sins are not forgiven without making taubah.

Sending Salat And Durood Upon Prophet ﷺ

• The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Of your best days is Friday. On it Adam was created; and on it his (soul) was taken; and on it is the blowing (of the Trumpet); and on it is the Swoon. Therefore, increase in sending your Salat upon me, for your salat upon me are presented to me.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah! And how will our Salat upon you be presented to you after you have perished?” He replied: “Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has prohibited the earth from (destroying) the bodies of the Prophets.”

[Narrated by Abu Dawud in his Sunan #1047, Ibn Khuzaimah #1733 and Ibn Hibban #910 in their respective Saheehs, and Hakim in Mustadrak 1/278 He said, It is authentic on the conditions of Bukhari and Zahabi agreed.]

• Based on this Imam Shafe’e used to say,

“I love to send plenty of salat upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) all the time and I love it more so on the day of Jumuah.”

[Kitabul Umm 1/546]

• Ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً

The closest of the people to me on the Day of Resurrection are those who most often invoked blessings upon me.

“The person who recites Surah Kahf on Fridays, a nur will appear for him from below the arsh as high as the skies. This light will help him in the darkness of the day of resurrection . And all the sins which he may have committed from the last Friday till this Friday will be forgiven . ”

Marry for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be obedient to Him alone in your marriage and your marriage will be blessed with rizq, righteous offsprings and all that is khayr.

Shaykh Ash-Shinqeeṭī رحمه الله said:

“The marriage through which Allah has promised to make a couple rich is the marriage with which a person intends to aid his Obedience Towards Allah.”

[أضواء البيان ٦/٢٤٣]

It’s important to seek the one who truly fears Allah in every matter in their life for marriage while you also do the same by being obedient to Allah alone in all of your affairs. May Allah make us righteous and grant us righteous spouses.

Marriage that revolves around the deen, spouses rights and safeguarding the commands of Allah will be blessed in ways you can’t imagine with rizq, tranquility and all goodness.

Be wary of who you marry and make smart decisions and always seek their deen and character and the rest will come with it إن شاء الله

If one doesn’t have the means to get married Allah will take care of him or her if they are sincere in wanting to get married.

Umar In Al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه said:

"I have never seen anything stranger than a man who does not seek richness through marriage, even though Allah has promised, as a result of it (i.e., marriage) what He has promised: "..if they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of His Bounty."

[Quran 24:32]

[Al-Durr Al-Manthoor, v.5, pps.80-81]

Other means to increase rizq is to do plenty of istighfar, safeguarding the salah and praying on time, having good relationship with your family, having children and fearing Allah and obeying His commands.

The success of the dunya and in the hereafter lies in obedience to Allah alone and striving hard by tying your camel and Allah will make things easy for you.

Question:

Assalamu Alaykum Sheikh which dua should we read when desire for commiting sin arises in us?

Answer:

Wa Alaikumus salaam

In moments when the desire to commit a sin arises, it is essential to seek refuge in Allah and ask for His protection and guidance. Several supplications (duas) and practices from the Quran and Hadith can help suppress sinful desires and strengthen one’s willpower.

Here are some duas you can read in such situations:

1. Seeking Refuge from Shaytan (Satan)

Reciting the following will protect you from the whispers of Shaytan, who encourages sinful desires:

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

A’udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim

“I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.”

2. Supplication of Protection

Reciting this dua will help protect you from evil inclinations:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا

Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min sharri nafsi wa min sharri kulli daabbatin anta aakhidhun binasiyatiha

“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil of every creature You have control over.”

3. Dua for Steadfastness

This dua was taught by the Prophet (peace be upon him) to seek firmness on the straight path and to avoid sins:

يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ

Ya Muqallibal-quloobi thabbit qalbi ‘ala deenik

“O Turner of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.”

4. Dua from Surah Al-Imran (3:8)

This is a Quranic supplication asking Allah to keep one on the straight path:

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Rabbana la tuzigh quloobana ba’da idh hadaytana wahab lana min ladunka rahmah, innaka Anta al-Wahhab

“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from Yourself. Indeed, You are the Bestower.”

5. Istighfar (Seeking Forgiveness)

Continuously making istighfar also helps cleanse the heart and distance one from sinful thoughts:

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ
Astaghfirullah

“I seek forgiveness from Allah.”

By engaging in these duas and reflecting on their meanings, as well as remembering Allah, your heart will be more inclined towards good and away from sin, inshaAllah. Regular recitation, seeking Allah’s protection, and staying in good company are also helpful in controlling sinful inclinations.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
