Sheikh 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Naasir al-Sa'di mentioned in his thematic tafsir:
[ ومن ترك شيئا لله عوضه الله خيرا منه ، ومن قدم هواه على طاعة مولاه فقد خسر دينه وتبع ذلك خسارة دنياه . ـ]
"Whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it for him with something better than that. But whoever prioritizes his own desires above obedience to his Master, then he has lost his deen and the loss of his dunya follows that."

Ideas are born in the quiet of Tahajjud, when the heart is honest and the world is asleep.
Openings arrive through Istighfar, when burdens are lifted and paths quietly realign.
And true barakah flows from Sadaqah, because what you give for Allah never truly leaves you.
Guidance comes when you pause for dua.
Strength grows when you stay patient in unseen struggles.
And ease finds you when your trust in Allah becomes deeper than your fear.

Who are those whom Allah loves?
Divine mercy is closely connected to the love that fills the hearts of Allah’s servants — those who sense His perfection, majesty, and beauty.
As Allah says:
“Say, [O Muhammad], if you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.”
The love of Allah is always linked with doing righteous deeds and avoiding corruption and wrongdoing.
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“Indeed, Allah loves those who are mindful of Him (the righteous).”
“Indeed, Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.”
“Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.”
“Allah does not love the corrupters.”
“Allah does not love the wrongdoers.”

Shaykh Muhammed bin Salih al-Uthaymeen (d.1421 A.H.) said:
‘Regarding the saying of Messenger –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– ‘and the prayer is light (Noor)’ i.e. that the obligatory and optional prayer is light, Noor in the heart, Noor on the face, Noor in the grave, Noor on the day of Hashr, because the hadeeth is absolute, and the one who experiences this will find that Noor.
If you prayed the prayer in reality, in that which you bring your heart to attention to, and your limbs to have Khushoo, you will feel that your heart has become enlightened and it has tasted delight, absolute delight, this is why the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said: ‘The sweetness/pleasure of my eyes has been placed in the prayer.’ [Ahmad]

Be careful not to become the reason someone turns to Allaah in pain, fear, or deep regret because of you.
Every tear they cry is seen by Him. Every broken prayer is heard.
You may forget what you did, but Allaah never misses the hurt done to His servants. What you cause in silence is never hidden from Him.
So choose kindness. Choose fairness. Because one day, every action will be answered before Him ﷻ

The only way to stop any pain in your life is to accept the fact that nothing is yours, nothing was yours, and nothing will ever be yours.
They are worldly attachments; given by Allah, belonging to Allah and returning back to Allah.

The Rectification of the Heart Through Its Attachment to Allah!
Whenever the heart becomes attached to a created being, it suffers. Allah ﷻ created this heart and designed it in such a way that it can never be truly sound except when it is attached to its Lord and Sovereign.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah says:
“The more the heart increases in love for Allah, the more it becomes devoted in servitude to Him; and the more it increases in servitude, the more it grows in love for Him and excels over all else.”

The Correct Understanding Of Tawakkul (To Depend/Rely Upon Allah) and Tawakkul Subsequent Actions:
Question: - I would like a detailed explanation so that I can correctly understand the following Hadith: - “Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.”
لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا
Answer: - This Hadith was narrated by

Question: - I would like a detailed explanation so that I can correctly understand the following Hadith: - “Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.”
لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا
Answer: - This Hadith was narrated by
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said:
لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا
“Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.” ” (At-Tirmithi no. 2344, Ibn Majah no.4I64, Ahmad 1/30,52, Ibn Hibban no. 2548 and Al-Hakim 4/318) “This Hadeeth is Hasan Sahih.”
The reality of Tawakkul (putting one's trust in Allah) is heartfelt, sincere reliance on Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) in bringing benefit and warding off harm, whether in the affairs of this life or the Hereafter.
The meaning of this Hadith is that if people, in their hearts, truly rely on Allah Alone and put all their trust in Him in bringing about benefit and warding off harm, while also adopting the helpful means, He will provide them with sustenance by the simplest of means, just as He provides birds with sustenance merely by their going out and coming back.
It is a kind of endeavor that shows its fruits with little effort put forth into the pursuit.
Thus, realizing Tawakkul does not contradict implementing the means that Allah (Exalted be He) has provided and the destiny, which He decreed, is based upon.
This is the Constant Law of Allah in the affairs of His Creation: He has commanded mankind to adopt the means along with His Command of putting total trust in Him. The physical effort in pursuit of means is obedience to Allah (Exalted be He), whereas reliance of the heart on Allah is Imaan in Him. Allah (Exalted be He) says:
وَعلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
So fear Allah. “And in Allah let believers put their Trust” [Ibrahim 14:11]
Tawakkul is mentioned here together with Taqwa (fear of offending Allah), which in this context stands for the duty of acting according to the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He).
Tawakkul without making use of the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He) is total incapacity, even if it is mixed with a sort of Tawakkul. People should not transform their Tawakkul into non-action, or regard their non-action as Tawakkul; rather, they should make their Tawakkul a part of the means, remembering that no end can ever be achieved unless they are all utilized.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.

Forwarded from Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah - Pearls of Wisdom
THE SECRETS BEHIND LENGTHENING OF FAJR PRAYER
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) mentioned:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) used to make the first Rak'ah longer than the second Rak'ah during Fajr and every prayer. Sometimes, he would lengthen the first Rak'ah until he no longer heard people's footsteps. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to lengthen Fajr more than any other prayer, because Fajr Prayer is witnessed by ALLĀH the Exalted and HIS angels. It was also said that the angels, who take shifts in succession by night and day, witness Fajr Prayer.
These two opinions rely on the difference whether ALLĀH'S descent lasts until the end of Fajr Prayer or until the break of dawn. There are narrations that indicate both meanings.
Also, since the number of Rak'ah in Fajr Prayer is less than in other prayers, the recitation of Qur'an during it was made longer to suffice for the lesser number of Rak'ah.
Also, Fajr Prayer is performed after people have slept and are rested, and before they go out to seek their livelihood and means of sustenance in this life.
Also, it is performed at a time when the hearing, the tongue and the heart are tranquil and not yet filled with busying affairs. In this state, one is able to comprehend the Qur'an and contemplate its meanings.
Further, prayer is the first foundation of actions ˹and Fajr is the first prayer performed during the day˺. This is why more attention is given to this prayer by making it longer.
These are wonderful secrets that are only known to those who have deeper knowledge in the secrets of this Shari'ah and its aims and wisdom. ALLĀH, Glorified and Exalted, is sought for each and every type of help."

⓶ When Ṭāwūs b. Kaysān [d. 106 AH] would pray ʿAṣr on Friday, he would face the qiblah and not speak to anyone until the sun would set.
⓷ When Mufaḍḍal b. Faḍālah [d. 181 AH] would pray ʿAṣr on Friday, he would seclude himself to a corner of the masjid. He would continuously make duʿā until the sun would set.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “There is an hour on Friday in which no Muslim would ask Allah for something good except that He would give it to him.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

*Between you and me...*
Sometimes when we hear about the suffering of the Prophets, peace be upon all of them, we may shake our heads in acknowledgment of the great struggle they had undergone and we think to ourselves that they maintained unmatched patience for Allah's sake, so, they deserved such noble statuses...
We shake our heads, but within ourselves, there's a feeling of "belittlement" of the magnitude of this suffering! We might even think that there are others whose suffering is greater than theirs.
Do you know why? The fact that it is long past... We reduce years to a few words: ‘The Prophet ﷺ called to Islam for 10 years in Makkah, but his people belied and abused him.’
Ten whole years with all their sorrows, pains and suffering are reduced to only a few words!
When one of us is slandered or insulted ONLINE, he remains troubled for the rest of the day!
Your Prophet ﷺ is better than you, his feelings were more sensitive, his abusers were worse, and the slander against him is more untruthful than the slander against you; besides, slander and insult did not reach him while he was sipping coffee behind a phone screen! But rather, was said directly to his face ﷺ, by a person who isn't even equal to a thread in his footwear, peace be upon him!
Do you know why else we occasionally "belittle" the suffering of the Prophet ﷺ?
If one of us were to be abused once: he is tolerant.
If twice: he maintains patience.
If thrice: he controls his temper and hopes for the reward from Allah...
By the fourth time: He loses patience, loses his temper, and he "spits all out", and would complain to the people about the one who wronged him; if in a gathering, he would relentlessly try to bring up the slander and injustice done to him and clear his name, while waiting for the opportunity to retaliate against the one who wronged him twofold.
Whereas ... the Prophet ﷺ experienced 10 years of suffering in Makkah, and never spoke about it! Nor did he convey it to us in the honorable hadiths!!! What we know of it, is only what the Qur'an has outlined in summary or what was narrated by those who saw him ﷺ during that period. He ﷺ didn't pour out his heart about it except to answer Aisha - May Allah be pleased with her - when she asked him about his suffering, so he ﷺ -privately- told her about the journey to Al-Ta'if and what he ﷺ had endured therein.
3500 days in Makkah... Every day enduring abuse, mockery, slander, belying, insults, threats... Allah's messenger ﷺ concealed all this, and stored (its reward) with his Lord the Exalted. He ﷺ didn't count it as a favor to us, nor did he ﷺ tell us about its details so that we may value his sacrifices...
Instead, he ﷺ busied himself with establishing, laying the foundation, and charting for us the way to Allah the Almighty so that we may be with him ﷺ in paradise... Not to mention the additional 10 years that he ﷺ suffered through the abuse of the hypocrites in Medinah... 20 years altogether.
That being said, frankly speaking, if one of us ever feels a belittlement towards the suffering of the Prophet ﷺ, then let him/her look in the mirror and say to himself: "shame on you"... and let him supplicate: O' Allah, reward your messenger ﷺ immensely on our behalf.
