عن أم حبيب زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت:

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "كل كلام ابن آدم عليه لا له، إلا أمر بالمعروف، أو نهي عن منكر، أو ذكر الله".

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“Every word of the son of Adam is against him, except enjoining what is right, or forbidding what is wrong, or mentioning Allah.”

What are the best du'as I can make?

His pleasure.
To look at His Honorable Face.
Al-Firdaws; the highest level in Jannah.

‏اعملوا للآخرة، وتزودوا للآخرة، بكثرة الصلاة، والصيام، والصدقة، والصلة، والتلاوة، والذكر، والاستغفار، والدعاء، والنفقة، والبر والإحسان، والكلمة الطيبة، الدنيا قطرة فانية، والآخرة بحر عظيم لا نهاية له ‏قال النَّبي ﷺ: «واللَّهِ ما الدُّنيا في الآخرة إلَّا مِثلُ ما يَجعل أحَدُكُم إصبَعَهُ في اليَمِّ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ بمَ يرجعُ».

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎"If the one giving charity knew that his charity falls in the hand of Allāh before the hand of the poor, the delight of the one giving would be more than the delight of the one taking."

اللَّهُمَّ لكَ الحَمدُ كلهُ، اللَّهُمَّ لا قابضَ لما بسَطْتَ، ولَا باسطَ لما قبضتَ، ولا هادِيَ لما أضللت، ولا مضلَّ لمن هديتَ، ولا معطِيَ لما منعتَ، ولا مانعَ لما أعطَيتَ، ولا مُقَرِّبَ لما باعدتَ، ولا مُبَاعِدَ لما قَرَّبتَ، اللَّهُمَّ ابسط علينا من بركاتكَ ورحمَتِكَ وفضلِكَ ورزقكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إني أسألكَ النَّعيمَ المُقيمَ الذي لا يَحولُ ولا يَزولُ، اللَّهُمَّ إني أسألكَ النعيمَ يومَ العَيلَةِ، والأمنَ يومَ الخوفِ، اللَّهُمَّ إني عائذٌ بكَ من شر ما أعطَيتَنَا وشر ما منعتَنا، اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إليْنا الإيمَانَ وزيِّنهُ في قلوبنَا، وكرِّهْ إليْنَا الكُفرَ والفُسُوقَ والعِصيانَ، واجعَلنا من الرَّاشدينَ، اللَّهُمَّ توفَّنَا مُسلمينَ، وأحيِنَا مُسلمينَ، وألحقنَا بالصالِحينَ غيرَ خزايا ولا مفتونينَ، اللَّهُمَّ قاتلْ الكَفَرَةَ الذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ رُسُلكَ، ويَصُدُّونَ عن سَبيلكَ، واجعَل عَلَيهِم رجزَكَ وعَذَابكَ، اللَّهُمَّ قاتلْ الكَفَرَةَ الذِينَ أوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إلهَ الحَقِّ.

اللَّهُمَّ أصلِح لي ديني الذي هو عِصمَةُ أمرِي، وأصلِحْ لي دنيَايَ التي فيها معاشي، وأصلِح لي آخرتِي التي فيها معادِي واجعَلِ الحيَاةَ زِيادَةً لي في كلِّ خيْرٍ، واجعَلِ المَوتَ راحةً لي منْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ.

كـ العادة كل يوم جمعة

لا تنسو قراءة سورة الكهف لا تأخذ منكم نصف ساعة وشاركها للأجر


قال نبينا محمد ﷺ
(من قرأ سورةَ الكهفِ في يومِ الجمعةِ أضاء له من النورِ ما بين الجمُعَتَين)


َو قال نبينا محمد ﷺ
(مَن قَرأ حَرفًا مِن كِتابِ اللهِ فله حَسَنةٌ، والحَسَنةُ بعَشَرةِ أمثالِها، لا أقولُ {الم} حَرفٌ، ألِفٌ حَرفٌ، ولامٌ حَرفٌ، وميمٌ حَرفٌ)

مامن لسان يستغفر إلا فتحت له الدنيا بما فيها أستغفرك ربي وأتوب إليك.

“The winter night has grown long; blessed is the one who has excelled in their actions during it, and unfortunate is the one who has done wrong”

📖 Al-Hasan Al-Basri [رحمه الله] said:

"I learned that the road was lonely, and I had no companion to accompany me, so I memorised the Qur'ān."

[Siyar A`lam al-Nubala' 4/564]

During this last hour of يوم الجمعة pour your heart out to Allah, for it is an hour whereby our prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم informed us that our supplications are accepted.

Ask Allah for forgiveness, for guidance, for steadfastness. Ask Allah for jannah, and for protection of the hellfire. Ask Allah for whatever your heart desires, whatever it longs for, whatever it requires.

The door you deem to be closed, it is not difficult for Allah to open. The matter you deem to be impossible, it is not restricted for Allah. The dreams you have which seem so far fetched, it is not far fetched for the One who created you. So ask Him, and ask Him with certainty.

«سَيفتحُ اللهُ باباً كُنتَ تَحسبهُ
من شِدَّة اليأسِ لَم يُخلَق بِمفتاح.»

"Allah will open for you a door you thought due to the severity of your despair, was not created with a key."

اغتنموا ساعة الاستجابة واذكروني في دعواتكم.

"فمحبة الله تعالى ومعرفته ودوام ذكره والسكون إليه، والطمأنينة إليه، وإفراده بالحب والخوف والرجاء والتوكل والمعاملة بحيث يكون هو وحده المستولي على هموم العبد وعزماته وإرادته، هو جنة الدنيا والنعيم الذي لا يشبهه نعيم، وهو قوة عين المحبين، وحياة العارفين"

•ابن القيم

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." | @hifdhstatus

كان عمرو بن قيس رحمه الله إذا دخل شعبان أغلق تجارته، وتفرغ لقراءة القرآن؛ وكان يقول: طوبى لمن أصلح نفسه قبل رمضان.

If the month of sha’ban would arrive, Amir Bin Qais would close his business, and would devote himself to the recitation of the Quran. He would say, “Glad tidings to the one who rectifies himself before Ramadan.”

[لطائِف المعَارف لابن رجب، صـ ١٣٨]

Hafiz Ibn Rajab, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

"Since Sha'ban precedes Ramadan, the acts of worship that are made lawful in Ramadan are also made lawful in Sha'ban, such as fasting, reciting the Qur'an, etc. For this reason, be prepared to obey Allah in Ramadan."

"Those who prepare themselves for Ramadan by adhering to obedience and performing good deeds beforehand will receive Allah's assistance during Ramadan as a result of these virtuous actions. Those who engage in various forms of wrongdoing prior to Ramadan undoubtedly burden their hearts and souls, creating barriers that obstruct their ability to perform good deeds during Ramadan."

- Saleh Al Osaimi حفظه الله

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“There is a chaos in the heart that cannot be brought to order except by one turning to Allāh, and in one's heart is a loneliness that cannot be removed except by finding company with Allāh whilst alone, and in the heart [as well] is a sadness that cannot be distanced except by finding happiness with knowing Allāh.”

[Madārij as-Sālikeen]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Loving this worldly life hinders man from doing righteous deeds, which are the only things that will avail him in the Hereafter. The more one indulges in loving the worldly life, the more he refrains from doing righteous deeds.”

[The Way to Patience & Gratitude | Pg. 393-3]
