If you're tested by Allāh then it doesn't always mean that you're a sinner.

Sometimes, Allāh tests His beloved one like He tested Ayyub, Nooh, Ibrahim, Yusuf, Mariyam & Aisha..

Yes, we should hide our misfortunes from the others so that they should not rejoice it.

A humble Muslim feel others pain while the Kadhabun and Fujjarun humiliate and hurt others by seeing someone in difficulty.

Some Kuffaar/Sinful Muslims may come to know about your misfortune and they may Laugh, but remember these test are from Allāh, even the Kuffaar of Quresh used make fun of the Prophet, eventually, Allāh gave him victory over them.

As Allāh said, the victory is for the believers. 🌱

The believer should focus on al-Inaabah in all situations

In the Sight of Allaah the worldly life is not even equal to the weight of a mosquitoe’s wing.

Some people strive to fulfill the rights of Allāh correctly but they harm His creation through their actions. (By lying, slandering, oppressing violating their honor, by searching others flaws, exposing someone's family issues etc) yet they consider themselves to be a righteous rectifier. Don't they know the Hadith of bankrupt?

A good Muslim is always afraid of Allāh. He focuses on his own mistakes, he remains silent most of the time out of fear of losing his good deeds due to his own tongue.

The way you treat others, it shows your own reflection. 🎯

[Beautiful Advice on Companionship & Solitude]

The Hanbali faqīh, Ibn ‘Abd al Qawī Al Mardāwī (d. 699 AH) said:

«وَفِي خَلْوَةِ الإِنْسَانِ بِالْعِلْمِ: أُنْسُهُ … وَيَسْلَمُ دِينُ الْمَرْءِ عِنْدَ التَّوَحُّدِ

“In a person’s solitude with knowledge lies his true solace, and his religion remains safeguarded when he embraces seclusion.

وَيَسْلَمُ مِنْ قَالٍ وَقِيلٍ، وَمِنْ أَذَى … جَلِيْسٍ، وَمِنْ وَاشٍ بَغِيْضٍ وَحُسَّدِ

He is protected from gossip and idle talk, as well as from the harm of troublesome companions, a spiteful tale-bearer, or an envious person

فَكُنْ حِلْسَ بَيْتٍ فَهُوَ سِتْرٌ لِعَوْرَةٍ … وَحِرْزُ الْفَتَى عَنْ كُلِّ غَاوٍ وَمُفْسِدِ

So remain a fixture in your home, as it conceals your faults and protects a young man from all deviant and corrupting influences.

وَخَيْرُ جَلِيْسِ الْمَرْءِ كُتْبٌ تُفِيْدُهُ … عُلُومًا وَآدَابًا، كَعَقْلٍ مُؤَيَّدِ

The best companions one can have are books that provide him with knowledge and noble manners, much like an intellect strengthened.

وَخَالِطْ إِذَا خَالَطْتَ: كُلَّ مُوَفَّقٍ … مِنَ الْعُلَمَا، أَهْلِ التُّقَى وَالتَّعَبُّدِ

And if you must interact with people, then choose to associate with each blessed one, whether they are scholars, pious individuals, or devoted worshipers.

يُفِيْدُكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ، وَيَنْهَاكَ عَنْ هَوًى … فَصَاحِبْهُ تُهْدَى مِنْ هُدَاهُ وَتُرْشَدِ

Such a companion will provide you with knowledge and restrain your whims; therefore, befriend him, and you will be guided by his advice and led in the right direction.

وَإِيَّاكَ: وَالْهَمَّازَ إِنْ قُمْتَ عَنْهُ … وَالْبَذِيَّ، فَإِنَّ الْمَرْءَ بِالْمَرْءِ يَقْتَدِي

Beware of the fault-finder when you leave his gathering, and avoid the foul-mouthed one, as a man tends to imitate his companions.

وَلاَ تَصْحَبِ الْحَمْقَى، فَذُو الْجَهْلِ إِنْ يَرُمْ … صَلاَحًا لأَمْرٍ يَا أَخَا الْحَزْمِ: يُفْسِدِ

Never associate with fools, for indeed an ignorant person, if he tries to fix a matter, O brother of prudence, will ruin it.

وَخَيْرُ مَقَامٍ قُمْتَ فِيْهِ وَخَصْلَةٍ … تَحَلَّيْتَهَا: ذِكْرُ الإِلَهِ بِمَسْجِدِ»

The highest position you can hold and the noblest trait you can possess is remembering Allah in a masjid.”

In summary: Ibn ʿAbd al-Qawī advises that being alone with knowledge brings true comfort and protects your faith. Solitude (at home and the masjid) keeps you away from gossip, tale-bearing, harm from bad companions, and envy, while concealing your faults.

He says books are the best companions, giving knowledge and refining character. When you do mix with people, choose the knowledgeable, the pious, and devoted worshippers, as they will teach you and advise you rightly.

He warns to avoid those who criticise others, speak foully, or spread tales, and to never keep company with fools, because you will imitate them, and fools often ruin what they try to fix.

Finally, he reminds us that the noblest act is remembering Allah in the masjid.

🗡 [Quiet Courage]

Muwwariq al-ʿIjlī – رحمه الله – said:

«الْمُتَمَسِّكُ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ إِذَا ‌جَبُنَ ‌النَّاسُ ‌عَنْهَا كَالْكَرِّ بَعْدَ الْفَرِّ.»

“The one who holds firmly to the obedience of Allah when people become too cowardly for it is like one who charges forward after others have fled.”
