Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin (رحمه الله) said:

“O my brothers! The month of Ramadan has ended, but a believer’s worship only ends with his death.”

[Majaalis Shahr Ramadan, p. 86]

your money problems aren't financial… they're spiritual

the Quran literally gave you the formula:

• Surah Nuh 71:10-12: istighfar = "wealth and children and gardens and rivers"
• Surah Talaq 65:2-3: taqwa = "provision from where you never expected"
• Surah Ibrahim 14:7: gratitude = "if you're grateful I will INCREASE you"
• Surah Dhariyat 51:22: "and in the sky is your rizq and that which you are promised"

the blueprint was always in the Quran habibi

we just kept looking at LinkedIn instead

Before people of knowledge used to open 100’s of book before giving any fatwa.

Now we search it into Google and take the first option we see and give fatwa.

*Importance of Sincerity!*

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) mentioned the Prophet's Hadith ﷺ :

“A prostitute was forgiven by ALLAH, because when passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took of her shoe and draw out some water for it. So, ALLAH forgave her because of that.”

_Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) commented:
“This woman gave water to the dog on account of the sincere faith in ALLAH that resided in her heart, on that account ALLAH forgave her. Not every prostitute will be forgiven if she gives water to a dog. This indicates that actions vary according according to the degree of faith and sincerity that resides in the hearts. Certainly, whoever performs acts of worship without sincerity to ALLAH, will not gain rewards for them because they are worthless. Rather, whoever does this, will subject himself to tremendous consequences, even if the acts of worship were major, such as spending on righteous causes and fighting against the disbelivers.”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“The pain of what has passed cannot be removed by grieving over it, but only through:

1) Acceptance (i.e. being pleased with Allaah's Decree) (al-Ridhaa)

2) Gratitude (al-Hamd)

3) Patience (al-Sabr)

4) Faith in Predestination (al Eemaan-bil-Qadr)

5) and the saying of the slave:

“It is the decree of Allaah and what He Wills He Does” (قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ)"

Fasting Purifies The Heart From Cheating And Hatred

From Ibn Abbas [رضي الله عنه] who said that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

«صوم شهر الصبر وثلاثة أيام من كل شهر يذهبن وَحَرُ الصدور.»

❝Fasting the month of patience and three days from every month removes hatred, anxiety and whisperings from the hearts.❞

[Collected By Al-Bazzar | Sh. Al-Albaani: 'Hasan Saheeh' In Saheeh Targheeb, (No. 1032)

I can’t do this alone.
But Maryam (AS) carried her child alone.

I am afraid to fail.
But Hajar (AS) ran between Safa and Marwa with nothing but tawakkul.

No one believes in me.
But Aisha (RA) was falsely accused, and Allah Himself defended her.

I see no future.
But Yusuf (AS) lost everything, and Allah still made him a king.

I feel weak.
But Musa (AS) stood before the sea with an army behind him.

People laugh at me.
But Nuh (AS) was mocked for years while building the ark.

If Allah helped them through the impossible,
He can guide you through what you are facing too.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Mixing too much with people, wishful thinking, being attached to anything other than Allāh, eating one’s fill, and sleeping (to much).

These five are the greatest corrupters of the heart.”

When lies bring people together, the truth will eventually tear them apart.
Stay true to yourself-integrity always wins in the end.

Sadness, grief, pain, suffering, calamities, and trials are expiations for sins. Nothing afflicts a servant, not even a thorn prick, without it being an expiation for their sins.

If someone complains of a toothache or insomnia at night, these too are means of expiating sins.

If something afflicts you : do not say, 'If only I had done this or that.'

‎Instead say;

‎قدر الله وما شاء فعل
‎
'This is the decree of Allāh, and what He wills will happen.'

‎ الشيخ عبد الرزاق البدر

Sometimes Allah removes the noise of people so you can finally hear the direction of your own soul.

Yes, it hurts when life shifts and people are no longer the same… but maybe this pain isn’t a loss, it’s a turning point. Not everyone will understand your silence, your struggle, or your growth—and they’re not meant to. Because if they did, you might start walking their path instead of the one written just for you.

So let your tears fall… they are not weakness, they are release. But don’t let them drown your purpose. What you once dreamed of still waits for you—now it just needs your courage.

You’re not alone, you’re being realigned.
You’re not stuck, you’re being prepared.
And this phase… it’s not breaking you, it’s freeing you.

So rise gently… and when you’re ready—fly higher than your fears ever allowed.

Whoever Attaches to Something Will Be Left to It

Imām ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥasan رحمه الله said:

“His (i.e., the Nabī’s) statement:

مَنْ تَعَلَّقَ شَيْئاً وُكِلَ إِلَيْهِ
“ ‘Whoever attaches to something will be left to it,’ [transmitted by Aḥmad, al-Tirmidhī, Abū Dāwūd, and al-Ḥākim] – attachment can occur by way of the heart, and it can be by way of actions, and it can be by way of both, ‘Will be left to it,’ meaning that Allāh will leave him to the thing he attached to.

“Thus, whoever attaches himself to Allāh, places his needs with Him, turns to Him, and leaves his affair to Him will be sufficed by Him, He will make every distant thing near to him, and make every difficult thing easy for him, and whoever attaches himself to other than Him or finds comfort in his opinion, intellect, medicine, amulets, and the likes, will have Allāh leave him to it and abandon him. This is known by way of the texts and experience – Allāh, Most High, said:

وَمَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
“ ‘Whoever relies upon Allāh, then He is Sufficient for him.’ ”

Fatḥ al-Majīd (vol. 1, pg. 298)

Tr: Abū Hurayrah al-Birīṭānī

We are living in a time where evil is fully exposed, yet people still refuse to see it. And worse than that…it’s not ignorance, it’s acceptance. People don’t just tolerate evil anymore, they align themselves with it.

Major.. major...problem with the ummah today:

Worrying more about the 'duniya' for ourselves and..
Worrying more about the 'aakhirah' of other muslims!

Oh.. fulān is a hypocrite, oh 'allān is a kaafir... Oh... Oh..

Be Mindful Of Allah and He will Protect You

On the authority of Abul Abbas Abdullah bin Abbas (رضي الله عنه) who said:

One day I was behind the Prophet (ﷺ) [riding on the same mount] and he said,

"O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]:

Be mindful of Allah and Allah will protect you.

Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him in front of you.

If you ask, then ask Allah [alone];

and if you seek help, then seek help from Allah [alone].

And know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah had already prescribed for you.

And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah had already prescribed against you.

The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”

It was related by at-Tirmidhi, who said it was a good and sound hadeeth. Another narration, other than that of Tirmidhi, reads:

Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you.

Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in times of adversity.

And know that what has passed you by [and you have failed to attain] was not going to befall you,

and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by.

And know that
victory comes with patience,
relief with affliction,
and with hardship comes ease."

[40 Ḥadith Nawawi, Ḥadith 19]

At a point in life where you understand your struggles and literally your own. No one can share your pain or grief. This generally leaves you feeling isolated, helpless and alone . It's a fight against your emotions and getting on with life forcibly. Most of us have no choice in the matter of fighting battles no one else can relate to. Disheartening, but we have to accept the nature of our lives. People don't want to see the broken part of you, only the easy-fun-going part. When you become serious and speak you see people's real colours. I don't mind at all as I see it as my burden, as my burden alone. It's not anyone else's responsibility to make it better for you. It's allowing yourself to fight through it and get on with life for the sake of others. My religion is the only aspect that keeps me grounded and humble in my life. I would truly be lost. Alhamdullilah to Allah, allowing me to be a muslimah. Truly, I would be drowning in self-pity if hadn't had my relationship with Deen.

"Be #sincere in your aim and you will find the support of Allaah surrounding you"

— Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) [Al-Fawaa-id]
