— في هذه الليلة المبارك ليلة الجمعة نسألك يا رب 🤲

hasan al-basrī رحمه الله said to Mutarraf Ibn 'abdillāh: "advise your companions!"

he replied: "i am scared to say something to them that I do not practise myself."

hasan said: "may Allāh have mercy upon you! who is there amongst us who does everything he says?

this is how shaytān attains his objective, so that no one enjoins goodness and forbids evil."

[tafsīr al-qurtubī, 1/367]

من عرف شرف ما يطلب هان عليه ما يبذل

he who knows the status of what he seeks, it becomes easy for him

al-hasan al-basrī رحمه الله said,

“indeed those who came before you saw the quran as personal letters from their Lord, so they would ponder over it by night and yearn for it by day.”

[imam al-nawawī, al-tibyān fī adāb hamalat al-quran]

الله 🤍

💌 بَريد يوم الجُمعة:

- تذكير | ركعتي الضحى.
- تذكير | الصَلاة على رسُول الله محمد ﷺ.
- تذكير | قِراءة سُورة الكهَف.
- تذكير | توجَد ساعة اسِتجابة؛ فاغتنمها.

ولا تنسوني من دعواتكم 🤍

For Gaza…

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله: “Giving charity on Friday with regard to the rest of the week is the best day to do so. This is similar to the superiority of giving charity during Ramadan with regards to the rest of the months.”

من يرد ملك الجنان * فليدع عنه التواني
the one who aspires to win paradise … should leave off negligence

وليقم في ظلمة الليل * إلى نور القرآن
he should get up in the darkness of the night … to the light of the Qur’an

وليصل صومًا بصوم * إن هذا العيش فان
and should connect fast to fast … for this living is temporary

إنما العيش جوار الله * في دار الأمان
verily, the real living is next to Allah … in the house of tranquility

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون ❤️‍🩹

رحمه الله وغفر له وأكرمه بجنّات عدن اللهم انه ضيفك فاكرمه بكرمك وبعفوك وجنتك اللهم بشرها بروح وريحان ورب راض غير غضبان

‏" القلب إنما خُلق لأجل حب الله تعالى،
لا تُشتت قلبك في البحث عن حب وأمان وكمال عند غير الله فلن تجد، وسيبقى القلب يخذله البشر، وهم معذورون جميعا؛ لنقصهم وضعفهم وستبقى تتوجع بهم ، حتى تتيقن أن التعلق الحقيقي لا يصلح إلا لله وحده! ".

"مقتبس"

📖 Do not inform people regarding how much of the Qur’ān you have memorised. Do not tell them that you've solidified one Juzz, memorised a Hizb, and reviewed ten. Leave them to see for themselves the Qur’ān in you...

In your beautiful speech, in your calmness of mind, the chastity of your limbs and your heart, your gentle nature, your leniency, your tranquility and your dignity.

Your goal should not be for people to say “Hafidh of the Qur’an..”

Rather: “His character was that of the Qur’ān." ❤️

وليس كمُتسابق يُريد أن يَحفظ فقط ليُلقَّب بحامل القُرآن، تحرَّر من هذا اللَقب الدُنْيَويّ ولا تتسارع عليه القُرآن حَظ عظيم يستحقُ أن يكون رفيق الحياة ، فلا تتعجَّل بدون إتقان، ولا تُرتِّل بدون عَمل ، وكُن من الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ

don’t be like the racer who wishes to memorise so he can be called a “carrier of the quran”. free yourself from this worldly title & do not rush the quran. such a great goal deserves to be a companion for life. don’t rush without perfection, & don’t recite without application

ramadan mubarak 🌙🎈

Ibn Baz said:
“I do not know of anything specific for welcoming Ramadan except that a Muslim should welcome it with joy, happiness, and elation. [They should] thank Allah for reaching Ramadan successfully and making them among the living who compete in good deeds for reaching Ramadan is a great blessing from Allah.”

اللهم أهله علينا بالأمن والإيمان

Ibn al-Jawzi - may Allah have mercy on him - said:

“By Allah, if it were said to the people of the graves, ‘Wish!’”
they would wish for a day of Ramadan.

Al-Tabisrah (2/78).

وفقنا الله وإياكـم لصيامـه وقيامـه إيمانا واحتسابا

اللهم إنا نستودعك المسجد الأقصى، والمرابطين فيه، احفظهم بحفظك، وانصرهم وثبت أقدامهم
اللهم رد إلينا المسجد الاقصى رداً جميلاً
اللهم أنصر ضعفهم، ليس لهم سواك …❤️‍🩹

O Allah, we entrust you with Masjid Al-Aqsa, and those stationed in it, protect them with your protection, support them and make their feet firm.
O Allah, return Masjid Al-Aqsa to us a beautiful return.
O Allah, help their weakness, they have no one but You … ❤️‍🩹

— don’t forget to dedicate a special portion of your dua to your brothers and sisters in Palestine

Three hours every day in Ramadān that you should not waste - no matter the price!

- The hour just before Iftār: free up that time exclusively for Dua', for indeed the fasting person at the time of breaking has Dua' that will not be rejected.

- The last hour of the night, make it seclusion with yourself and Allah.

- The hour after Fajr Salah, this is when you sit down after Fajr in your place of prayer until sunrise (engage in Qur'ān/Dhikr/Dua').

If you are not pleased with your efforts in Ramadan thus far, change your situation! Every night Allah frees His slaves from the Hellfire, so strive to be from amongst them.

اللهم تقبَّل منا ما عملنا واغفر لتقصيرنا، وأعِنَّا على طاعتك، واجعلنا من عُتقاء النار يا أرحم الراحمين

‏﴿ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ﴾
‏
اللهم اجعل أجورنا في نهارها لا يُعد ودعواتنا في لياليها لا تُرد

Allah loves to hear the supplication of his servant and becomes angry when his servant doesn't ask him for his needs
