بعضُ المعارِك لا يُغالبها إلا أن يحل الذكرُ محلَّ الفكر،
ذلك بأن إقرار العبد بفقره لربه هو أثمن ما يملك.
Some battles can only be won by replacing the thoughts with the rememberance of (Allah, the lord).
For the servant’s recognition of his poverty before his Lord is the most valuable thing he possesses.
﴿رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ﴾
“My Lord, indeed I am in desperate need of whatever good You send down to me.”
(Al-Qasas 28:24)

من أعظم أبواب الخير: الدلالة على الخير، فتعطَى مثل أجر فاعله، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من دعا إلى هدى كان له من الأجر مثل أجور من تبعه لا يُنقص ذلك من أجورهم شيئاً.
One of the greatest doors to goodness is guiding others to it, for you will be given a reward equal to that of the one who acts upon it. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward like the rewards of those who follow him, without that diminishing their rewards in the least.”
يا لفرحتك ويا لسعادتك يوم أن تأتي يوم القيامة، وترى أناسا قد اهتدوا وصلحت قلوبهم بسبب كتاب نافع دللتهم عليه فقرؤوه، أو مادة صوتية أو مرئية نافعة دللتهم عليها فانتفعوا بها.
How joyful and happy you will be on the Day of Judgment when you see people who were guided and whose hearts were reformed because of a beneficial book you pointed them to and they read it, or an audio or visual resource you recommended and they benefited from it.
إني لا أحصي من يخبرني أنه انتفع من أحد كتبي وأثر عليه بسبب نصيحة من أحد من الناس، أو لنشره خبرَ صدور كتاب لي.
I cannot count how many people have told me that they benefited from one of my books and were influenced by it because someone advised them about it or shared the news of its release.
نسأل الله أن يجعلنا ممن ينشر الخير والعلم النافع ويدل الناس عليه.
We ask Allah to make us among those who spread goodness and beneficial knowledge and guide others to it.

لا تخافي ولا تحزني
Why does Allah keep telling women in the Qur’an: “Do not be sad?"
Look closely…
These are not just random verses. These are divine hugs wrapped in words.
In Surah Al-Qasas:
"So that her eyes may be comforted and she may not grieve."(28:13)
In Surah Al-Ahzab:
"That their eyes may be comforted and they may not grieve.(33:51)
In Surah Maryam:
"Do not grieve."(19:24)
And again in Surah Al-Qasas:
"Do not fear and do not grieve."
(28:7)
Again and again…
Do not grieve. Do not be sad. Do not fear.
Why?
"Because your sadness is not small in the sight of your Lord."
Sadness in a woman isn't just an emotion—
It's a storm that shakes her soul,
affects her health,
weakens her body,
disturbs her sleep,
and sometimes breaks her spirit.
It can dim the sparkle in her eyes
and steal the strength from her heart.
And Allah—Ar-Rahman—knows this.
That’s why He speaks so gently to women in the Qur'an.
That’s why He says:
"Don’t grieve."
"Don’t be afraid."
"Let your eyes find peace."
Because He knows…
A woman’s sadness doesn’t stay in her tears.
It travels—
To her heartbeat,
To her womb,
To her hormones,
To her skin,
To her smile.
Allah doesn’t just protect her body.
He protects her emotions, her dignity, her peace.
That’s why even regarding mothers, He says:
"Don’t even say uff to them."
(Qur’an 17:23)
Because words hurt.
And her heart is delicate.
But her worth is monumental.
So if you’re a woman reading this—
With a storm inside your chest,
With eyes that cry silently at night—
Know this:
Your sadness matters to Allah.
Your tears are seen.
Your pain is recorded.
And your healing is written.
He repeats it not for Himself—
But so you remember:
You are not alone.
"Do not be sad."
May Allah heal every broken heart,
especially the hearts that break in silence. Ameen❤️

ساعة واحدة بتركيز خير من عدة ساعات بلا تركيز.. احرص في طلب العلم على الأوقات التي يكون فيها الذهن صافياً، والبال خالياً؛ حتى تركز في الطلب، وتحصل من العلم.. فإن التركيز في العلم يعني الاستمرار فيه والانتفاع، وعدمه يعني اليأس منه والانقطاع.. والعاقل مَنْ يسايس نفسه؛ لتقبل، لا لتنفر!
One focused hour is better than several hours without focus. Be keen to seek knowledge during times when your mind is clear and your heart is free, so you can focus and truly gain from it. For focus in seeking knowledge leads to consistency and benefit, while its absence leads to despair and quitting. The wise person is one who manages their soul to help it accept, not to make it repel.

The thief that steals our most precious treasure ⌛️
The thief that has prevented us from so much Khair
The thief that not only steals, but does so everyday
Oh Allah put barakah in our time, give us mental clarity and peace of mind
And protect us from the many many many trials of this thief. 🤲

Simple recitations that highlight the meanings of the Quran without being excessive are best.
My previous ustadh had mentioned once that it’s glaringly obvious when someone has studied maqaamat from their recitation & wallahi it’s true.
There’s no better beautification of one’s voice than tajweed and understanding of that which one recites.
From the hadeeth of Jabir رضي الله عنه، that the Prophet ﷺ said:
"إِنَّ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ صَوْتًا بِالْقُرْآنِ، الَّذِي إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُوهُ يَقْرَأُ، حَسِبْتُمُوهُ يَخْشَى اللَّهَ".
‘Among the people who recite the Quran with the most beautiful voices is the man who, when you hear him, you think that he fears Allah.’
[Sunan Ibn Majah 1339]
Graded Sahih by Imam Al-Albani رحمه الله

Chapter regarding the ways that bring about love for Allah and make it grow — and there are ten of them:
1. Reading the Qur’an thoughtfully and trying to understand its meanings and messages — like how someone studies a letter from a close friend to grasp what they’re really trying to say.
2. Getting closer to Allah by doing extra (voluntary) acts of worship after performing the faraidh. These extra acts help a person move from simply loving Allah to being loved by Him.
3. Always remembering Allah — with your words, your heart, your actions, and your inner state. How much you love Him depends on how much you remember Him.
4. Choosing what Allah loves over what you want, especially when desires are strong. And aiming for what pleases Him, even if it’s difficult.
5. Thinking deeply about Allah’s names and qualities, and learning about who He is. Moving your heart through the gardens of this knowledge. Anyone who truly knows Allah through His names, actions, and attributes will naturally love Him. That’s why those who deny or distort His names and attributes block people from reaching that love.
6. Noticing how kind and generous Allah has been to you — all His blessings, both the obvious and the hidden — because this naturally draws your heart to love Him.
7. One of the most powerful reasons: when your heart feels totally humble and broken in front of Him. This is a deep feeling that words can’t fully explain.
8. Spending time alone with Allah, especially during the last part of the night when He "descends" (as mentioned in Hadith) — to talk to Him, recite His words al Qur'an, and stand before Him with respect and humility. Then ending that time with asking for forgiveness and turning back to Him.
9. Being around people who truly love Allah, and picking up the best and most beautiful things from their words and actions — like picking the best fruits. Only speak when you know it’s beneficial, and that it will help you or others.
10. Staying away from anything that could come between your heart and Allah.
Through these ten things, those who love Allah reach higher levels of love and closeness to Him. And at the heart of all this are two key things: a heart that’s ready for this journey, and eyes that can see with insight.
