You have been waiting. Waiting for the job. Waiting for the marriage. Waiting for the breakthrough. Waiting for things to finally fall into place. And some days it feels like nothing is moving. Like you have been stuck in the same place for too long.

But here is what you need to remember.

Yusuf AS spent years in a dark well and in prison. Then in a single moment Allah elevated him to a position of power that no one could have predicted. Years of waiting. One moment of divine decree.

That is how Allah works. Not always slowly and gradually. Sometimes suddenly. Sometimes overnight. Sometimes in ways that leave you speechless and in tears of gratitude.
Your situation is not permanent. Your struggle is not your destination. Allah has not forgotten you. He is simply preparing you.

And when He says it is time, nothing in this world can stop what He has written for you.

"Indeed, with hardship comes ease." — Ash Sharh 94:6

"And whoever relies upon Allah, then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose." — At Talaq 65:3

The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

“The Believers are like a single body. If the head is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted. If the eye is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted.”

Imam ash Shafi'i رحمه الله was asked: *“How do you seek knowledge?”*

He replied,

Like a mother frantically searching for her missing child and she has no other child.

—On War—

Things begin small —
& the one who starts a war is not
the one who burns in it.

War draws in even those who oppose it
like a mangy camel
makes the others sick.

Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh dear brothers and sisters,

Ramadan is slipping away from us.

Just a few days ago we welcomed this blessed month… and now it is almost leaving. Many of us started Ramadan with hopes, goals, and promises to ourselves. Now is the time to make the most of what remains.

These are the days of Dua. The days when hearts soften and when Allah is closest to those who call upon Him.

We are living in uncertain times. We do not know what tomorrow holds. But we know that Allah is Al-Mujib — the One who responds to every sincere call.

So do not let these precious days pass without turning to Him.

Make abundant Duas for:
• Yourself
• Your parents and family
• Your friends
• Those who have passed away
• And the entire Muslim Ummah

Ask Allah using the authentic supplications taught by our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

On this channel you will find:
• Authentic supplications for everyday situations
• Beautiful Quranic Duas

The Prophet ﷺ said:
"Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward similar to the one who does it."
— Sahih Muslim

May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our sins, and accept every Dua we raise to Him,
Aameen.

✒ Defend Your Brother’s Honor

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:

“Whoever defends the honor of his brother from being backbitten then it is (his) right from Allāh that he be FREED FROM FIRE.”

● [صحيح الترغيب والترهيب رقم الحديث ٢٨٤٧ ، صححه الألباني]

Translated By: Sameeullaah Sameeullaah (Aboo Maryamm)

Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Sāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: “Many people think that punishment is limited to one’s health, his wealth, or his children; however, having a sick and corrupted heart is truly the worst type of punishment.”

الشيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه الله: كثير من الناس يظنون أن العقوبة إنما تكون في الأمور الظاهرة كالأبدان والأموال والأولاد، والحقيقة أن العقوبة بمرض القلوب وفسادها أشد وأعظم من العقوبة بمثل تلك الأمور.
(أحكام من القرآن الكريم-1/87)

Why do we often see such lavish iftar tables during Ramadan, and isn’t it exhausting for the women of the house who spend the whole day cooking instead of focusing on worship? What is the real purpose of Ramadan, and what message are we giving the new generation?

The virtue of the last ten nights of Ramadan
فضل العشر الأواخر من رمضان https://youtu.be/kpVVIhn_dKE?si=VEgBfFzxN12hNjcv

Ibn Rajab said: "The one who misses the planting season cannot expect to reap the harvest." Ramadan is almost over. The last ten nights are the harvest season. Everything you've planted this month - the discipline, the prayers, the hunger - it all culminates now. Don't let the harvest pass you by.

🔥 Fortunetellers at your doorsteps:

Avoid apps or websites which pop up on Facebook and other social media saying : ❝ what is your destiny?❞ or ❝what you will be in the next ten years!❞

This is like approaching the fortunetellers which is Haraam.

🔥 Simply inquiring a fortuneteller (even if it is for fun) without believing in him will nullify our prayers for 40 days and believing in him is Major Kufr.

🌴🌴🌴

📕Allaah’s Messenger [sal-Allaahu alaihi wa sallam] said:

❝He who visits a diviner (Arraaf) and asks him about anything, his prayers extending to forty nights will not be accepted.❞

📚[Saheeh Muslim (5540)]

💢💢💢

📕Allaah’s Messenger [sal-Allaahu `alaihi wa sallam] also said:

❝If anyone goes to a fortuneteller and believes in what he says, he has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad.❞

📚[Sunan Ibn Maajan (639) and the wordings are his, Sunan al-Tirmidhee (135), and Sunan Abu Dawood (3904) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. In Sunan Abu Dawood, the wordings are: ❝he has nothing to do with what has been sent down to Muhammad ﷺ.❞]

🌴🌴🌴

🎓The Lajna said:

❝This means that those who go to fortunetellers to ask them anything, their Salaah shall not be accepted for forty nights but in case that they also believe them, then they are Kaafir.❞

📚[Faatawa Lajna (1/621)]

According to the Salafi fiqh position, Zakat al-Fitr must be given as food, not money, following the practice of the companions.

The evidence is the hadith of
Abdullah ibn Umar who said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ obligated Zakat al-Fitr as one saʿ of dates or one saʿ of barley upon every Muslim, free or slave, male or female, young or old.

Amount for one person

📏 1 Saʿ of food

1 Saʿ ≈ about 2.5 – 3 kg (5–6.5 lbs) of staple food such as:
• Dates
• Barley
• Wheat
• Rice
• Raisins
• Corn or other staple food of the land

Example for 1 person

Give about 3 kg (around 6 pounds) of a staple food.

When to give it
• Best time: 1–2 days before Eid
• Latest time: before the Eid prayer

If it is given after the Eid prayer, it becomes regular charity, not Zakat al-Fitr.

Who you must pay for

You pay for:
• Yourself
• Anyone you are financially responsible for (children, dependents)

⸻

Since you are in Atlanta, many people give a bag of rice (about 5–6 lbs) per person to fulfill the Sunnah amount.
Food Type
Approximate Amount
Rice
6 lbs (about 2.7 kg)
Dates
6 lbs
Barley
6 lbs
Raisins
6 lbs
Wheat
6 lbs
Corn / maize
6 lbs

This is based on the hadith reported by Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ obligated one Saʿ of food.

Who Receives It

It should go to poor Muslims so they can eat on the day of Eid.

Best Time to Give
• 1–2 days before Eid
• Allowed during the last part of Ramadan
• Must be before the Eid prayer

Intention

Make the intention in your heart that it is Zakat al-Fitr for yourself (or the person you are paying for).

Example

If you are giving for one person, you could give:
• 1 bag of rice (about 6 pounds) to a poor Muslim.

From the many blessings of Ramadān is that one increases in their love for the Qur'ān, whether by increasing in its recitation, increasing in pondering over its meanings, or increasing in listening to it.

And Allāh has blessed us with many reciters who recite the Qur’ān beautifully.

So it saddens the hearts to see how some Muslims turn towards these so-called "Islamic" anāsheed and these so-called "anāsheed artists," establishing gatherings and concerts that cause many to neglect the Qur'ān and abandon it. And even worse, those who lend their ears to that which corrupts the hearts- music.

أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَدْنَىٰ بِالَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ.
"Would you exchange that which is better for that which is inferior?"
[Sūrah al-Baqarah, verse no.61]

وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبِيثَ بِالطَّيِّبِ
"And do not exchange the impure for the pure."
[Qur’ān: Sūrah an-Nisā, verse no.2]

May Allāh make the Qur'ān the spring of our hearts, the light of our chests, the banisher of our worries and sadness, and the reliever of our anxieties.
