جمال الوجه موروث الخصال فلا تفخر بإرثك في الجمال....
The beauty of the face is an inherited trait...So do not take pride in your inherited beauty...

سیبقی حسن صنعك حين تفنى ويدفن حسن وجهك في الرمال
The goodness of your actions will remain when you fade away, And your face is buried in the sands.

‏من أسرار قيام الليل أنه يعلمك الإنكسار بين يدي الله، وأنه من أعظم أسباب الثبات

"One of the secrets of night prayers is that it teaches you humility before Allah, and it is one of the greatest ways for attaining steadfastness."

كان سعيد بن المسيب إذا جاء الليل قال لنفسه: قومي يا مأوى كل شر.. ثم يصلي قيام الليل

"When night arrived, Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab would say to himself, 'Rise, O home of all evil,' and then he would pray the night prayer."

« الدنيا وضعت للبلاء فينبغي للعاقل أن يوطِّنَ نفسه على الصّبر »
"The world was created for trials, so the wise person should train themselves to be patient."

ابن الجوزي | صيد الخاطر (٣٩٣/١)

It is binding upon every Muslim to learn the Arabic language to the best of his capabilities, so he can bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and he can recite the book of Allah, say the different adhkaar that have been made obligatory upon him from the takbeer, the tasbeeh, the tasha’hud, and other forms of adhkaar.

احسن الظن بالله

"The phrase «Perhaps it is for the best» embodies both having good expectations of Allah and the comfort of submiting.
Imagine living in regret over something that you missed out on, but remember that everything that happens to a believer is for their good. Don't burden yourself with excessive thoughts about what has passed.

The treasures of Allah never run out (are infinite) and what is best is not limited to what you've missed.

Greater, more beautiful, and more perfect things may come your way if you keep good thoughts of Allah."

أتغلبك الدنيا وأنت الذي تحمل الآيات في صدرك؟!"

"Are you allowing the world to overcome you while you carry the verses (of Qur'an) within your heart?!"

« عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يَرۡحَمَكُمۡۚ وَإِنۡ عُدتُّمۡ عُدۡنَاۘ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا »
"Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you, but if you return (to your sins), We will return (to Our punishment). And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers." (17:08)

كم من محنةٍ خرج من رحمها مِنحة، فمَن اعتبر بالبلاء واتَّعظ، فتابَ وأناب، كان البلاءُ له رحمةً وخيرًا.

"How many trials have brought about a blessing? Whoever learns from the trial and is admonished, then repents and returns to Allah, the trial will be a mercy and goodness for him."

الإفساد طريقُ العقوبات، فمن عاد إلى إفساده عاد اللهُ إلى عقوبته، فهل من معتبر؟

"Corruption leads to punishment. Whoever returns to their corruption, Allah will return to punishing them. Is there anyone who takes heed?"

ليس عذابُ الدنيا خاتمةَ المطاف للمفسدين غيرِ التائبين، فهنالك نارٌ تنتظرهم فتحصُرهم، فلا يُفلِت منها أحد.

"The punishment of this world is not the final outcome for the unrepentant corruptors, there is a fire awaiting them that will surround them, and no one will escape from it."

"The supplications of Muslims for their oppressed brothers: it is a realization of Islamic brotherhood and a confirmation of the bonds of faith by recalling their suffering and seeking their victory.

Among the concise prayers reported from the Prophet is his saying:
اللهم انج المستضعفين من المومنين
'O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers.'

So include this in your prayers for them and strive to pray during the times when they are answered."

- الشيخ صالح العصيمي

بتسمعوا قرآن ؟
Do you listen to the Quran?

لو مش بتسمعوا قرآن » واللّه فايتكم كتير .. حاول متخليش يوم يعدي كده من غير ما تستمع لكلام اللّه.
if you don't listen to the Quran, you are missing out on a lot. Try not to let a day pass without listening to the words of Allah.

النبي ﷺ كان يحب أن يسمع القرآن من غيره..
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, loved to hear the Qur’an from others.

ووقت ما تحس إنك مضايق، مهموم، قسى قلبك، ... اقعد اسمع قرآن. يقينًا -برحمة اللّه ولطفه- قلبك هيسكن ويطمئن!
Whenever you feel upset, worried, or your heart is hard, sit and listen to the Quran. Certainly - by Allah's mercy and kindness - your heart will be at peace and reassured!

ملازمة القُرآن وعدم هجره؛ دليل بيّن على محبّته، فمن أحبّ شيئًا لزِمه كملازمة الصاحب لصاحبه،
Sticking to the Qur'an and not neglecting is a proof of your love for it, for whoever loves something, he sticks to it's companionship.

كذلك صاحب القرآن تمُر عليه الليالي والأيّام؛ لا يلبث إلا أن يرجع إلى كلام ربّه خالقه ومولاه،
Likewise the Companion of the Qur’an, nights and days pass by and It only takes a while for him to return to the words of his Lord, his Creator and Master,

كالذي فارق وطنه واغترب ثمّ عاد ليجد المأوى الذي يأويه،
like the one who left his homeland and estranged himself and then returned to find the shelter that shelters him,

والقرآن.. وطن القلب ونعيم الروح الأبدي
and the Qur’an is said to be " the homeland of the heart and the pleasure of the soul and the body"

«عفّةُ المرأة تبدأُ مِن ترك لفت النَّظرِ، وعِفةُ الرجلِ تبدأُ مِن غضِّ البَصرِ، وعفةُ القلبِ مِن تعظيمِ أوامرِ ربّ البشرِ».

"The chastity of a woman begins with avoiding attention, the chastity of a man begins with lowering his gaze, and the purity of the heart comes from honoring the commands of the Lord of mankind."

قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ:
Ahmad ibn Aasim said:

 مَنْ كَانَ بِاللَّهِ أَعْرَفَ كَانَ لَهُ أَخْوَفَ.
"Whoever knows Allah the most fears Him the most."

[مدارج السالكين (٣١٧/٣)]

ووجدك ضالا فهدى❤️

بعض آيات القرآن إن قرأتها تشعر أنها للتو نزلت؛ تحاكي واقعك، تثبتك، تشد من عزمك وإيمانك، الآيات لا تمل رغم اختلاف الزمان الذي نزل به إلا أنه يُحاكي النفس البشرية في كل مرة بسطوته، كل مرة يتجدد بذلك الإيمان، وعمق الصلة بالله، وفي كل مرة يرتقي صاحب القرآن منزلة غير التي كان بها.

Some verses of the Quran, when read, feel as if they were just revealed, they resonate with your reality, strengthen you, your determination and your Imaan. These verses remain captivating despite the passage of time, as they continually speak to the human soul with their profound impact.

Each time, they renew Imaan and deepen the connection to Allah, allowing the companion of the Qur'an to rise to a higher spiritual level than before.

"لكنَّ الجنَّةَ يا فتىٰ لا يكفِيها التمنِّي!"
