نصيحة من قلب مشفق .
A piece of advice from a compassionate heart:

لا تنتظر أن يبدأ رمضان لتجاهد في العبادة، لا بد أن تتدرج من الآن القلب يحتاج وقت ليتفرغ ويلين، والعقل يحتاج وقت ليصفى .
Don’t wait for Ramadan to start striving in worship. You need to gradually prepare from now. The heart needs time to focus and soften, and the mind needs time to clear.

ستخسر رمضان لو بدأت ۱ رمضان !
You will lose Ramadan if you wait until the 1st of Ramadan!

لذلك عود نفسك من الآن، ضم اثنين وخميس، قم الليل ولو بركعة اقرأ صفحات من القرآن، تصدق على مسكين، أكثر من ذكر الله ....
Therefore, train yourself from now—fast on Mondays and Thursdays, pray at night even if it's just one unit of prayer, read pages from the Quran, give charity to the needy, and increase your remembrance of Allah...

وقبل كل شي تخفف من دنياك
ليدخل رمضان وأنت مستعد بإذن الله .
And before everything, lighten the burdens of this world, so that when Ramadan arrives, you are prepared, with Allah’s permission.

and from his grace upon the believers is that nothing is ordained for them from the good or hardship except that there is good in it for them, when they are touched with ease, they are greatful and their reward are the rewards of the greatful, and when they are touched with hardship, and they are patient upon it, their rewards are the rewards of the patient and Allah سبحانه وتعلى says in surah az zumar

"Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account [i.e., limit]."

‘As you had been reading in this world’

Are you satisfied with your level and proficiency of recitation right now?

Are striving to perfect your recitation?

Are you taking the time to review the rules of Tajweed and ensuring you’re applying them correctly?

Recite with calmness and serenity. Reflect upon the meanings of that which you recite. Pay attention to, and preserve the rulings of Tajweed. Beautify your voice, don’t be excessive nor negligent.

May Allah make us among those who strive to preserve His book, ameen.

وإن غِبت فالدُّعاء وصيّة بيننَا.🍃🕊

"And if I am absent, Du'a is a vow between us."

« اعرف قدر لطفه بك، وحفظه لك، إنما نهاك عن المعاصي حماية لك وصيانة لا بخلاً منه عليك، وإنما أمرك بالطاعة رحمة وإحسانًا لا حاجة منه إليك »

"Recognize the value of His kindness towards you and His protection over you. He only prohibited you from sins as means of safeguarding and preserving you, not out of stinginess towards you. He only commanded you to obey Him as an act of mercy and benevolence, not because He has any need of you."

ابن القيم | بدائع الفوائد الفوائد (٢٣١/٣)

اللهم رمضان، وبُيوتك، والتراويح، والتهجّد، والقبول وحسن الختام والجنة يا رحمن!

"إنَّ خير الصاحب ما تهبُ عمرك له هو القرآن."
"The best companion you can dedicate your life to is the Quran."

قال امام الحسن البصري رَحمَهُ اللهُ: «إِنَّ الرَّجلَ إذا طلب القرآن والعلم اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لم يلبث أن يُرى ذلك في خُشُوعِهِ ، وزهده، وحلمه، وتواضعه.

Imam Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "When a person seeks the Quran and the knowledge of Allah, the Almighty, it won't be long before this is reflected in their humility, self descipline, forbearance, and modesty."

«آداب الحسن البصري ومواعظه» (ص ٩٤)

فإن قال قائل: فإذا كانت لي همة، ولم أرزق ما أطلب، فما الحيلة؟
"If someone says: 'If I have ambition, yet I have not received/been granted what I seek, what should I do?'

فالجواب: أنه إذا امتنع الرزق من نوع، لم يمتنع من نوع آخر، ثم من البعيد أن يرزقك همة، ولا يعينك
The answer is: If provision is withheld from one type/way, it will not be withheld from another. It is unlikely that He granted you ambition and does not assist you.

فانظر في حالك: فلعله أعطاك شيئًا ما شكرته، أو ابتلاك بشيء من الهوى ما صبرت عنه.
So examine your situation: perhaps He gave you something that you did not appreciate, or He tested you with a desire that you did not endure( could not have patience).

واعلم أنه ربما زوى عنك من لذات الدنيا كثيرًا ليؤثرك بلذات العلم، فإنك ضعيف، ربما لا تقوى على الجمع، فهو أعلم بما يصلحك.
And know that sometimes He withholds many of the pleasures of this world from you in order to give you the pleasures of knowledge. You are weak and might not be able to handle both. He knows best what is suitable for you."

- ابن القيم صيد الخاطر

"Whoever is inspired to pray, is also prompted to receive the response."

قال عبد الله بن مسعود -رضي الله عنه-:
Abdullah ibn Masood said ( May Allah be pleased with him) :

إنَّ أكبر آية في القرآن فرجًا:
The greatest Ayah in the Qur’an that provides relief is,

{ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا }.
"And Whoever fears Allah, he will make a way out for him."

- تفسير ابن كثير ( 400/4)

‏﴿ قَالُوا أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ﴾
"They said, 'Do you wonder at the decree of Allah?'

‏رحمة الله إذا تداركت الإنسان أدهَشته!
The mercy of Allah when it encompasses a person, it amazes him.🤍

الله ولىُ الذين امنوا
Allah is the protector of those who have faith. (٢:٢٥٧)

" الله أمان الخائفين
Allah is the peace for the fearful.

ومعاذ العائدين
the refuge for those who return to Him,

وغياث المستغيثين
and the help for those who seek assistance.

من التجأ إليه اطمأن، ومن عاذ به سكن
Whoever seeks refuge in Him finds peace, and whoever seeks His protection is granted comfort.

لا حصن أعظم من حصنه، ولا جند أقوى من جنده، غالب لا يغلب
There is no stronger fortress than His, nor any army mightier than His. He is the over-powering, and no one can defeat Him.

وعزيز لا يطلب
He is the mighty, and no one can overpower Him.

فيا فوز الواقفين ببابه اللائذين بجنابه.
So blessed are those who stand at His door, seeking his shelter."

- الشيخ د صالح العصيمي

{وَظَنُّوا أَنْ لَا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا إِلَيْهِ}
"And they thought that there is no refuge from Allah except to Him."

أي:
This means:
تيقنوا وعرفوا بحالهم، أنه لا ينجي من الشدائد، ويلجأ إليه، إلا الله وحده لا شريك له،
They were certain and aware of their situation, realizing that no one but Allah alone could save them from hardships and they could seek refuge in Him.

فانقطع تعلقهم بالمخلوقين، وتعلقوا بالله ربهم، وفروا منه إليه..
Thus, they cut off their reliance on the creation and turned to Allah, their Lord. They fled from Him to Him.

- السعدي

"الحسنات في ظلمة الليل أنواز يهتدي بها السائرون إلى الله، فمن كثرت حسناته فيه عظمت الأنوار التي تهديه."

"Good deeds in the darkness of the night are like lights that guide those who are walking towards Allah. So, the more good deeds a person has, the greater the lights that guide them."

- الشيخ صالح العصيمي

Why must we wait for misfortunes to remind us of Allah and bring us closer to Him?

Is He not worthy of heeding to without troubles reminding us to do so?

Is all that He favoured us with ie life, health, faith, safety, and happiness so insignificant that we don't bow our heads without material reasons.

Adjust the compass of your heart towards Him, then walk towards Him even if you have to crawl on your knees. You will arrive,

"for wherever you turn, there is the face of Allah."

- لانك الله❤️

Ibn Hajar رحمه الله said:

"Allah provides ways of escape for His allies when they are tested. However, the delay in this for some of them at certain times is a means of purification and an increase in their reward."

Increase in the obedience of Allah in the month if Sha'ban
Increase in the recitation of Qur'an in this month

من استعد لرمضان بالطاعة؛ أعين على ما فيه منها، ومن قدم بين يدي رمضان أنواع المعاصي والمحرمات؛ فإنه يضع على قلبه وروحه أثقالا تحول بينه وبين الطاعات في رمضان.

Whoever prepares for Ramadan through obedience will find help in performing acts of worship during it. But whoever approaches Ramadan with various sins and prohibitions, he burdens his heart and soul with weights that will obstruct him from acts of worship during Ramadan.
