‏أنتَ صَالحٌ ما دُمتَ تُجاهدُ نفسَك علىٰ الصَّلاح،
You are righteous as long as you strive to rectify yourself.

مُحاولات الإستقامة لا تَصدُر من قلوبٍ فاسدة
Attempts at uprightness do not come from corrupt hearts.

إغتَنَمُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ
Take Advantage of Yawm Al Jumu'ah

كَثْرَةُ الصَّلَاَةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ :-
قال رسول ﷲ ﷺ :« أكثروا من الصلاة عليّ ليلة الجمعة و يوم الجمعة فإن صلاتكم معروضة عليّ » .
Increase in Sending Salutations upon the Prophet (ﷺ):
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Increase your prayers upon me on the night and day of Friday, for your prayers are presented to me."

الدُّعَاءُ :
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ، فَقَالَ :« فِيه سَاعَةٌ لا يُوَافِقها عَبْدٌ مُسلِمٌ، وَهُو قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي يسأَلُ اللَّه شَيْئًا، إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاه» .

The Dua :
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned the day of Friday, saying: "On it is an hour in which no Muslim servant stands to pray and asks Allah for something, except that He grants it to him."

سُورَةُ الْكَهْفِ :-
عن أبي سَعيدٍ الخُدريِّ عنِ النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم أنَّه قال :« مَن قَرَأَ سورةَ الكَهفِ يومَ الجُمُعةِ أضاءَ له من النورِ ما بَينَ الجُمُعتينِ » .

Surah Al-Kahf:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf on the day of Friday, it will illuminate him with light between this Friday and the next."

"Every achievement has a temporary pleasure...

Except for memorizing the Qur'an, for its pleasure is like Noor in the heart, Noor in this world, Noor in the grave, and Noor on the Sirat."

‏[شهرُ شعبانَ شهرُ القُرّاء]
The Month of Sha'ban is the Month of the Reciters

قال الإمامُ ابنُ رجبٍ:
Imam Ibn Rajab said:

"لمّا كان شعبانُ كالمقدّمةِ لرمضانَ؛ شُرعَ فيه ما يُشرعُ في رمضانَ مِنَ الصّيامِ وقراءةِ القرآنِ؛لِيَحصُلَ التّأهُّبُ لتلقّي رمضان وتَرْتاضَ النُّفوسُ بذلك على طاعةِ الرّحمنِ ...
"Since Sha'ban is like a preparatory period to Ramadan, it is prescribed to observe the practices of Ramadan during it, such as fasting and reading the Qur'an, in order to prepare oneself for the arrival of Ramadan and to train the soul in obedience to the Most Merciful...

وكان حبيبُ بنُ أبي ثابتٍ إذا دخل شعبانُ قال: هذا شهرُ القُرّاءِ"
And when Sha'ban would enter, Habib ibn Abi Thabit would say: 'This is the month of the reciters.'"

(لطائف المعارف) (ص٣١٩).

اللهم اجعل القرآن حجة لنا ولا تجعله حجة علينا ...
اللهم اجعلنا ممن يقرؤه فيرقى ولا تجعلنا ممن يقرؤه فيزل ويشقى...

‏"التوكّل قوّة؛ ولو جُمعت للمرء أشكال المواساة وألوانها فلن يجد شيئًا يمسح على قلبه ويقوّي أركان طمأنينته مثل تفويض أمره لله،
"Trust in Allah is the strength; even if all forms and colors of consolation were gathered for a person, they would not find anything that soothes their heart and strengthens their sense of tranquility like entrusting their affairs to Allah,

واستشعاره أنه في ظلال معيّة الله، وأن الله كافيه أمره"
Feeling that they are under His protection, and knowing that Allah will suffice them in their matters."

"Allah, the All-Hearing, who hears your supplication.
Allah, the Perfect, who rewards you for little deeds with much.
Allah, the Praiseworthy, to whom you praise and seek refuge in your fear!
Allah, the Source of Peace, to whom you have surrendered your soul!

And if you truly knew Allah, the Source of Peace, you would think well of Him and fill your heart with tranquility."

قال ابن القيم رحمه الله:
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

عندما تيأس من كُل شيء، وتتعلق باللَّه وحده بصِدق، وتَدعوه بيقين، فإنَّ الفرَج والتَّيسير يَأتِيك مِنْ حيْث لا تَحتَسِب..
"When you lose hope in everything and turn to Allah alone with sincerity, calling upon Him with yaqeen, relief and ease will come to you from where you least expect.

مَنْ ضاقت عليه الأسباب، وضاقت عليه نفسه،
Whoever finds that the means have become restricted, and their soul distressed,

وظنَّ أن لا ملجأ من الله إلاَّ إليه، لا يتخلَّف عنه الفرج والتَّيسير البتَّة.
and believes that there is no refuge from Allah except with Him, relief and ease will never fail to reach them."

الفوائد (٨٦)

When it comes to finding the righteous spouse, looking and searching for them comes secondary, the primary way is to make your self righteous and constant supplications to Allah سبحانه وتعالى because all affairs depends on his كن and he has a predetermined time for everything.

"ثم جئت على قدر يٰموسى"
"Then you came at the predetermined time oh Musa"

‏{ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ }
" And fear Allah, and Allah will teach you. And Allah is Knowing of all things."

وعد من الله تعالى بأن من اتقاه عَلَّمه
أي: يجعل في قلبه نورًا
يفهم به ما يُلقى إليه
[ القرطبي ]
A promise from Allah, the Exalted, that whoever fears Allah, He will teach him.
This means: He will place light in his heart, through which he will understand what is conveyed to him.
[Al-Qurtubi]


يعني أن الله ينير بصائر أهل التقوى فيفقهون في الدين، "من يرد الله به خيرا يفقهه في الدين" فبالتقوى يهيأ الله للإنسان حسن الفهم وحسن الإدراك فيفهم معاني القرآن ومعاني السنة طبعا يرجع إلى السنة يوفقه الله تبارك وتعالى، ومن توفيق الله له وتعليمه له أن يوفقه للأخذ بالسنة والفقه فيها وتدبر القرآن

This means that Allah enlightens the hearts of the people of taqwa (Allah-consciousness) so they understand the religion. As the Prophet said, "Whoever Allah wants good for, He gives him understanding of the religion."

Through taqwa, Allah grants the person good understanding and perception, allowing them to comprehend the meanings of the Quran and the Sunnah. Of course, they refer to the Sunnah, and Allah will guide them in doing so.
Part of Allah's guidance and teaching to them is granting them success in adhering to the Sunnah, understanding it, and reflecting on the Quran.

( أفلا يتدبرون القرآن أم على قلوب أقفالها )
“Do they not reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts?"

انما يوفى الصابرون أجرهم بغير حساب..

لا يوجد فرص ضائعة كل ما فاتك لم يكن لك

there are no missed opportunities everything you missed was not yours...

'lyad bin Himar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

"Allah has revealed to me that you should humble yourselves to one another. One should neither hold himself above another nor transgress against another."

[Muslim].

فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ أَنِّي لَا أضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى أي أجابهم
"So their Lord responded to them, 'I do not waste the work of any worker among you, whether male or female.'
This means He answered them.

قال الحسن : ما زالوا يقولون ربنا ربنا حتى استجاب لهم .
Al-Hasan said: They continued calling upon their lord saying, 'Our Lord, our Lord,' until He responded to them.

- Tafsir al qurtubi

اللهم سلمنا لرمضان وسلم رمضان لنا وتسلمه منا متقبلا يارب العالمين.

‏"يُخشى على الإنسان إذا عود نفسه التأخر في العبادة؛ أن يُبتلى بأن يؤخره الله عز وجل في جميع مواطن الخير".
"It is feared for a person that if he makes a habit of delaying his acts of worship, Allāh will put him to trial by delaying all that which is khair for him.."
- ابن عثيمين

Return back to the Qur'an.

‏﴿وقال الرسول يا رب إن قومي اتخذوا هذا القرآن مهجورا﴾ [الفرقان]
"And the Messenger said, 'O my Lord, indeed, my people have abandoned this Qur'an."
[Al-Furqan]


‏احذر أن تكون ممن اشتكى منه النبي ﷺ لربه
Beware of being among those whom the Prophet ﷺ complained about to his Lord."
