"If you are not able to provide assistance to your brother (in islam), then do not be stingy in supplicating for him."

sometimes we may encounter people going through hardship, but we may not be in a position to help them, if we cannot provide them our assistance, let us pray for them to Allah that Allah eases their matter and helps them and this is from sunnah, for we are a compassionate nation which shows mercy upon eachother❤️

‏"يتقلّب حال المرء بين قُرب من الله وأُنس، وبُعد عنه ووَحشة، ولكن طوبى لمن رُزق بنفسٍ لوّامة لا تطيق العصيان، فسرعان ما تضيق النفس عند معصيته، ولا تنشرح إلا بالتوبة"

"People’s condition fluctuates between closeness to Allah and comfort, and distance from Him and unease. However, blessed is the one who is endowed with a self-reproaching soul( Nafs ul lawammah) that cannot tolerate disobedience. Such a person’s soul quickly feels distressed when committing sin and finds relief only in repentance."

A handsome guy and a pretty girl will make a beautiful wedding,
but a faithful man and a pious woman will make a beautiful marriage!

{ يَهْدِي بِهِ اللَّهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهُ سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ وَيُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ }
Allah guides by it those who follow His pleasure to the ways of peace, and brings them out of darkness into the light by His permission, and guides them to a straight path
[ سورة المائدة : 16 ]

( يهدي به الله من اتبع رضوانه ) رضاه ،
(Allah guides those who seek His pleasure) meaning His approval,

( سبل السلام ) قيل : السلام هو الله عز وجل ،

وقيل : السلام هو السلامة ، كاللذاذ واللذاذة بمعنى واحد ، والمراد به طرق السلامة ،

«اللهم اهدنا وَسَدِّدْنا»

وقال رجل لإبراهيم بن أدهم: «قال الله تعالى: ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ [غافر: ٦٠]

A man said to Ibrahim ibn Adham: "Allah, the Almighty, said: ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you’" [Qur'an 40:60].

فما بالنا ندعوا فلا يستجاب لنا ؟! فقال له إبراهيم من أجل خمسة أشياء
"Why is it that when we call upon Allah, our prayers are not answered?"
Ibrahim replied, "This is due to five reasons."
قال: وما هي؟!
The man asked, "What are they?"

قال: "عرفتم الله فلم تؤدُّوا حقه، وقرأتم القرآن فلم تعملوا بما فيه، وقلتم : نحب الرسول الله وتركتم سنته، وقلتم : نلعن إبليس وأطعتموه، والخامسة: تركتم عيوبكم وأخذتم في عيوب الناس."
Ibrahim said:
"You have recognized Allah but have not fulfilled His rights.
You have read the Qur'an but have not acted upon its teachings.
You claim to love the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam but have abandoned his Sunnah. You curse Satan but obey him. And the fifth reason is that you focus on the faults of others while ignoring your own."
- تفسير سورة الغافر

"You need the Qur'an in your mornings and your evenings, in your departures and returns. You need Qur'an for ease in your affairs, tranquility, and companionship. You will not find a source of strength for your willpower like your daily recitation and constant listening to the Quran."

كل الناس سواسية في مقام واحد يوم القيامة إلا حافظ القرآن
"All the people would be equal in status on the Day of Judgement except for the one who memorized the Quran.

مع الملائكة .. مع السفرة الكرام البررة اللهم اجعلنا منهم
They will be with the angels, with the noble and righteous. O Allah, make us among them."

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,

"Shall I not inform you about your wives in Paradise?"

Notice that this refers to the wife whose commendable qualities and blessed conduct lead her to become one of your wives in Paradise.

He said: "Every loving and fertile woman, who, if she gets angry, or if wrong is done to her, or if her husband is angry with her—notice these three conditions:
if she gets angry,
if wrong is done to her,
or if her husband is angry with her—she says,

'This hand of mine is in yours; I will not close my eyes nor find peace in sleep until you are pleased with me.'"

This reflects her dedication to maintaining peace and fulfilling her duties, even in the face of disputes.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم emphasizes that she is aware of the significance of her actions before Allah and the responsibility she has in these matters.

Thus, it is important to recognize that obedience to Allah, who created her and commanded her, involves fulfilling these rights and duties. She should pray to Allah for a dignified and blessed life. Allah describes righteous women in the Quran as being "devoutly obedient" and "preservers of the unseen (affairs)."

A righteous wife is one who combines two qualities: the first relates to her connection with her Lord, and the second pertains to her devotion to maintaining her obligations and duties.

Being "devoutly obedient" means she is consistently performing acts of worship and adhering to obedience, while being a "preserver of the unseen" means she safeguards her husband’s property, honor, and rights.

Ultimately, this preservation is by the grace, facilitation, and assistance of Allah.

- الشيخ عبد الرزاق بدر

قال عز وجل: وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّى يُغْنِيَهُمُ اللهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ {النور:33}

قال القرطبي في تفسيره: "من تاقت نفسه إلى النكاح، فإن وجد الطَّول، فالمستحب له أن يتزوج، وإن لم يجد الطَّول؛ فعليه بالاستعفاف، ما أمكن، ولو بالصوم؛ فإن الصوم له وجاء."

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

“Let those who cannot find a match (or the means to marriage) keep themselves chaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty”
[Quran 24:33].

Al-Qurtubi commented in his tafsir:

“If one desires marriage and is financially able, it is recommended to marry. If he cannot afford it, he should maintain chastity as much as possible, even if through fasting, as fasting is a shield.”

قال الله تعالى :‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‏ ﴿وَإِذا قُرِئَ القُرآنُ فَاستَمِعوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتوا لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ ﴾

Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:
"And when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy."

الرحمة تصيب المستمع لكتاب الله ، فما بالك بمن يقرأ القرآن ، كم من الرحمات تنزل عليه وتغشاه.

Mercy descends upon the listener of Allah’s Book, so imagine how much more mercy falls upon the one who recites the Qur'an.

«كان الشيخ ابن عثيمين -رحمه الله- يوصِي بإنهاء الحزب اليومي من القرآن أول النهار، ليكون أثره وبركته على بقيّة اليوم، ولأنَّ الإنسان لا يدري ما يشغله»

"Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy on him, used to advise completing the daily portion of the Qur'an early during the day so that its effects and blessings last throughout the rest of the day, and because a person does not know what might distract them later."

لا يغفل من أراد الزواج عن نيات طيبة يؤجر عليها .
"One who seeks marriage should not overlook the good intentions for which they will be rewarded:

⁃ إمتثال أمر النبي ﷺ في النكاح .
Complying with the Prophet’s ﷺ guidance in marriage.

⁃ إعفاف نفسه وزوجه بالحلال .
Seeking to fulfill oneself and one's spouse through lawful means.

⁃ أن يخرج من صلبه من يوحد الله ويقيم دينه .
Raising children who worship Allah and uphold His religion.

⁃ تكثير أمة محمد ﷺ.
Increasing the followers of Muhammad ﷺ.

⁃ النفقة على زوجته وأولاده .
Providing financial support for one’s wife and children.

⁃ الصبر على تربية الأولاد وتوجيههم للخير .
Exercising patience in raising and guiding children towards goodness.

⁃ الدرجات بحسن الخلق وطيب العشرة .

Achieving higher ranks through good character and pleasant companionship."

«إذَا أردتَ شيئًا تُحِبُّه ، فَلا تعصِ اللّٰهَ فِي الوصُولِ إليهِ ؛حتَّىٰ لا يكونَ سببًا فِي حِرمانِكَ مِنهُ ، فإنَّ مَا عندَ اللّٰهِ لا يُدرَكُ بِمعَصيتِه»

"If you desire something you love, do not disobey Allah in reaching it, so that it does not become a reason for you to be deprived of it. For what is with Allah cannot be attained through disobedience."

The delight of the worshipper's eyes

Yazid al-Raqashi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"I do not know of anything more delightful to the eyes of the worshipper in this world than performing tahajjud in the darkness of the night. And I do not know of any pleasure in the gardens of paradise more delightful to the devout or more satisfying to their eyes than looking at the Majestic One when the veils are lifted and the Generous One is revealed to them."

[اختيار الأولى، ابن رجب (٩٠)]

وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ عَسَىٰ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودًا

لا تسمح لشخص انجذب إليك وإلى شخصيتك أن يدخل حياتك، ولا يغرك كثرة مديحه لك وانبهاره بك، فهو في الحقيقة لا يريدك كما هو أنت بل يريد الصورة الملائكية اللي يتخيلها عنك، وبمجرد اقتحامه لحياتك ورؤيته لشخصيتك العادية سيصدم بك وينقلب عليك، وكل شخص مهووس فيك هو مشروع عدو مستقبلي؛ فالعلاقات المتينة تبدأ من الجذر وليس من الزهر؛ حينما يراك كما أنت بعيوبك وأخطائك ويقرر الاستمرار معك؛ عندها تكون العلاقة متزنة.


ياسر الحزيمي

"Don't let someone who is attracted to you and your personality enter your life. Don't be deceived by their excessive praise and admiration for you, as they don't actually want you as you are but rather the idealized image they have of you. Once they invade your life and see your ordinary self, they may be shocked and turn against you. Anyone who is obsessed with you is a potential future enemy.

Strong relationships are built from the root, not just from the flowers. When they see you as you are, with your flaws and mistakes, and decide to stay with you, then the relationship is balanced."

— Yasir Al-Hazimi

أتَبكِي مِن فقدَان شَيء، وَأنت الََّذِي قُلت:
"Do you cry over your loss of something, while you are the one who said:

"وَاصرِف عَنِّي شَرُّ مَا قَضَيت."
'And turn away from me the evil of what you have decreed.'"
