« 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!"

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Be pleased with everything that Allāh does with you. For indeed He does not prevent you except to give you. He does not test you except to protect and save you. He does not give you ill health except to cure you. He does not give you death except to give life to you.

So beware of not being pleased with Him even for the blink of an eye. Such that you fall in His eye.”

[Madārij as-Sālikīn | 2/208]

"And if we were to die and left behind,
Death would be a comfort to every living being,

but when we die, we will be resurrected.
and then would be asked about each and everything."

اللهم حاسبنا حسابا يسيرا...

قال النبي ﷺ: «ينزلُ ربُّنا تبارك وتعالى كل ليلةٍ إلى السَّماء الدُّنيا حين يبقى ثلث اللَّيل الآخرُ، يقولُ: من يدعُوني، فأستجيب له؟ من يسألُني فأعطيهُ؟ من يستغفرني فأغفر له؟»

أين الرجال الليل؟
أين الحسنُ وسفيانُ وفضيل؟
يا رجالَ الليل جدوا..رب داع لا يرد
ما يقوم الليل إلا من له عزم وجدُّ ..

قيام الليل عبادة تصل القلب بالله عزوجل، في وقت هدأت فيه الأصوات، ونامت العيون، وتقلب النُوّم على الفرش .
‏Qiyam al-Layl is an act of worship that connects the heart to Allah Almighty during a time when sounds have subsided, eyes are closed, and those asleep turn on their beds

قال أبو الدرداء رضي الله عنه: صلوا ركعتين في ظلم الليل لظلمة القبور .
Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
"Pray two units of prayer in the darkness of the night for the darkness of the graves."

"وصبرًا فالأمانِي مقبلات
‏تكادُ تكونُ عن قُرب تكادُ
‏أليس الفجر يخْرُج من ظَلام؟
‏ونورُ الصُّبح يسبقُهُ السَّوادُ!"

"وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ
ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ"

"And when My servants ask you about me, I am indeed near.
I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.."
