For those currently travelling in the Gulf region, particularly around Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and neighbouring airspace and who have been impacted by sudden delays or travel disruptions…
Take a breath.
Uncertainty can stir anxiety. Especially when you’re away from home, with changing information and closed airspace. But this is where our faith becomes real.
Allah says:
فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظًا وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
So Allah is the Best Guardian, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.”
No airline ultimately protects us.
No government ultimately protects us.
No airspace ultimately protects us.
Allah does.
And He says:
قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا
“Say: Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has written for us. He is our Protector.”
If something is delayed, it is by decree.
If something is prevented, it is by wisdom.
It could be that Allah is holding you back from a harm you cannot see.
Sometimes we try to escape one discomfort, only to enter something worse and Allah, in His mercy, diverts us.
Right now, the most powerful response is not panic; it is returning to Him.
Guard your morning and evening adhkar. They are your shield.
Increase your dhikr.
Send salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ.
And repeat often:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ...
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief...
You are not where you are by accident.
You are not delayed by accident.
You are under the care of Al-Hafiz (The Guardian).
And Allah is the Best of Guardians.
May Allah decree the best outocome and deal swiftly with the wrongdoers - Aameen.

DUAA IN THE LAST PART OF THE NIGHT ✨
Narrated Amr bin Abasah as-Sulami (رضى الله عنه): I said: "O Messenger of Allah, which part of the night is the one in which (my supplication is) most likely to be heard (and responded to)?"
He (ﷺ) replied: "The last part of the night — so pray as much as you wish, for prayer (at this time) is witnessed and written (by the angels) until you pray the morning prayer (fajr)."

DO NOT SING THE QURAN,QURAN IN MELODY?-
Imam Malik said:
"I do not like reciting in melodies, neither in Ramadaan nor at other times, because it resembles singing, and it causes the Qur'an to be laughed at. It is said ‘this person is a better reciter than that person (the Quran becomes the subject of rivalry and entertainment).
It has reached me that the slave-girls are taught to recite like this as they are taught how to sing. Do you think this was the way Allah’s Messenger (saws) used to recite?"
[Al-Qayrawani, Kitab Al-Jami’ p166]
Sâlim b. 'Abdillah b. 'Umar b. Al-Khattab (ra) was asked to listen to someone leading the prayer. When he heard the recitation he turned back exclaiming:
"Singing! Singing!"
[Ibn Al-Jawzi, Al-Qussas wa Al-Mudhakkirin article 183]
It is reported that there was a man who used to lead the prayer in Madina. One night, he became euphoric (got carried away by emotion). Al-Qâsim b. Muhammad recited: "Verily it is a mighty and noble Book. Falsehood does not approach it, neither before it nor behind. It is a revelation from the Most Wise, Most Praiseworthy." [Al-Fussilat: 41, 42]
And he detested (the behavior of the reciter).
[Ibid article 184]
Ibn Dawud 'Abdullah b. Dawud b. 'Amir Al-Khuraybi was once asked by Bishr b. Al-Harith: 'If I pass by a man reciting, should I sit and listen? He asked, “Does he become euphoric (because of emotional recitation)?” Bishr replied, “Yes.” Ibn Dâwûd said, “He has shown his bid’ah, do not sit with him.”'
[Ibid article 186]
Imam Ahmad rahimahullah said: “This innovated recitation which is called Al-Alhan (melodious, musical recitation), I detest it.” He was very strict against it. He said, “I believe it resembles singing, and the Qur'an is to be preserved from this.”
[Ibid article 188]
o
After relating some of these traditions, Ibn Al-Jawzî states:
"Know that melodious musical recitation (Al-Alhan) is detested for a number of reasons, amongst others: (its reciters) merge letters that are not supposed to be merged, they extend vowels (madd) where there should be no extension, and they omit the hamzah and the doubling of consonants (tashdîd) just in order to preserve the melody. Also, this kind of recitation causes people to get emotionally carried away (al-tarb) and it distracts people from pondering the Quran.”

*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.

🌊 Between Fear and the Miracle | بين الخوف والمعجزة
When Prophet Musa ﷺ stood at the sea, his people panicked.
Behind them: an army.
In front of them: the ocean.
They cried:
إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
"We are surely overtaken!" (26:61)
But Musa عليه السلام said with certainty:
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
"No. Indeed, my Lord is with me; He will guide me." (26:62)
Notice something powerful:
The sea did not split immediately.
There was a pause.
A space between fear and the miracle.
That space is called توكُّل — trusting Allah when you see no way out.
Maybe you are standing in that space right now.
The sea hasn’t opened.
The path isn’t visible.
The pressure feels real.
But just because the water still looks solid
doesn’t mean it won’t part.
Hold your ground.
Trust Him.
Allah never abandons those who rely on Him —
even in the silence before the miracle.

There was a time — ten years ago — when things looked completely different.
What felt impossible… what felt blocked… what felt like it would never change…
Allah changed it.
By Allah, You alone are sufficient for us.
What once seemed unreachable, You made possible.
What the world thought could never happen, You showed them it could.
Oppression never lasts. Power never remains in one hand forever.
Allah turns the tides. Allah replaces people. Allah brings justice in ways we never imagine.
Alhamdulillah for witnessing what once seemed impossible become reality.
Alhamdulillah for the One who is always in control.

Hadith : Whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over
Narrated Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu Allah's Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: "The sun and the moon are two signs
amongst the signs of Allah and they do not eclipse because of the death of someone but Allah frightens His devotees with them."
Sahih Bukhari, Book 18, 158
Narrated Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu We were with Allah's Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam when the sun eclipsed. Allah's
Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-rakat prayer till the
sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the ProphetSallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of
someone's death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over.

“The Hour will not be established until two great groups fight each other, and there will be a great number of casualties between them, yet their claim will be the same.”

Don’t be amazed at the knowledge of someone who is able to quote from memory and bring out benefits from books if he doesn’t teach the basics to his young students
A real scholar is one who teaches the basics before the advanced knowledge, so stick to the one who benefits you, not just the one who amazes you.

Security First
You can't have prosperity without safety. Prophet Ibrahīm - 'alayi-s-salām - prayed for safety in the town before asking for substance, telling that security is a prerequisite for blessings a f growth in the community.
Without safety, economies struggle and people suffer; security is a big deal today.
He - 'alayi-s-salām - prayed, "And [mention] when Abraham said, My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits..."
I{وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَ ٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡ هَـٰذَا بَلَدًا ءَامِنࣰا وَٱرۡزُقۡ أَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَ ٰتِ...}
