Do you know who those are whom Allah loves?
1. The doers of good (Al-Muhsinūn)
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴾
“Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.”
First: Excellence between the servant and his Lord — by perfecting the deeds Allah has commanded, performing them sincerely for His sake and in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. As the Prophet ﷺ said: “To worship Allah as if you see Him; and if you do not see Him, then indeed He sees you.”
Second: Excellence between the servant and people in all dealings — including doing work with perfection. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah loves that when one of you does a deed, he perfects it.”
It also includes fulfilling the rights of others: honoring parents, maintaining family ties, hosting guests, helping the poor, and all other rights.
2. The righteous (Al-Muttaqūn)
﴿ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ ﴾
“Indeed, Allah loves the righteous.”
The essence of taqwa is that a servant places a shield between himself and Allah’s غضب (anger) and punishment — by obeying Him and avoiding His disobedience.
And through these two qualities, a believer attains the honor of Allah’s companionship:
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ مُحْسِنُونَ ﴾
“Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who do good.”
3. The just (Al-Muqsiṭūn)
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ ﴾
“Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.”
They are the people of fairness — those who are just in judgment, with their families, and in positions of responsibility.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “The just will be upon pulpits of light on the Day of Resurrection — those who are just in their rulings, their families, and in what they are entrusted with.”
4. The constantly repentant (At-Tawwābūn)
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ ﴾
“Indeed, Allah loves those who constantly repent.”
They are those who frequently return to Allah. When they commit a sin, they remember Allah, feel remorse, repent quickly, seek forgiveness, and resolve not to return.
Even if they fall again, they repent again — and whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. The one who repents is like one who has no sin.
5. The purified (Al-Mutatahhirūn)
﴿ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ ﴾
“And He loves those who purify themselves.”
They purify themselves from sins and impurities — both outwardly and inwardly.
This includes physical cleanliness and spiritual purity: purifying the heart from attachment to other than Allah, and cleansing oneself from all forms of shirk and sin.
6. The patient (Aṣ-Ṣābirūn)
﴿ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴾
“And Allah loves the patient.”
Patience means restraining the self from despair, the tongue from complaint, and the limbs from actions that contradict patience.
It is of three types:
Patience in obedience
Patience in avoiding sin
Patience during hardship
The highest is patience in obedience to Allah — because it requires consistency and sincerity.
7. Those who rely upon Allah (Al-Mutawakkilūn)
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ ﴾
“Indeed, Allah loves those who rely upon Him.”
Tawakkul means placing true trust in Allah for all matters — seeking benefit and protection from harm — while believing that none gives or withholds except Him.
It is a sign of true faith and recognition of Allah’s greatness, and a deep expression of love for Him — and thus, Allah loves them.
8. Those who fight in His cause in ranks
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا ﴾
“Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in rows.”
They are united, strong, and firm — like a solid structure, standing together in discipline and courage for the sake of Allah.
This refers to striving in Allah’s cause with proper conditions and unity — not chaos or unjust conflict.
O Allah, make us among those about whom You said:
{ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ }
“He loves them, and they love Him.”

O Allah, make us among those about whom You said:
{ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ }
“He loves them, and they love Him.”
Luqman رضي الله عنه said to his son:
"O my son, if Shaytan comes to you from the direction of doubt and suspicion, then overcome him with certainty and sincere advice. If he comes to you from the direction of laziness and weariness, then overcome him by remembering the grave and the Resurrection. And if he comes to you from the direction of hope and fear, then tell him that this worldly life is something that will be departed from and left behind."
Al-Bidāyah wa'n-Nihāyah: 9/299

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
قال ابن القيم رحمه الله: إذ أَحَبَّ اللهُ عبدًا اصطَنعَه لنَفسِه، واجتَباهُ لمَحبَّتِه، واستَخلَصَهُ لعبادته، فشَغَلَ هَمَّهُ بِه، ولسانه بذِكره، وجَوارحه بخِدمته.
“When Allah loves a servant, He selects him for Himself, chooses him for His love, and devotes him to His worship. Then He occupies his concerns with Him, his tongue with His remembrance, and his limbs with His service.”
— Al-Fawā’id (p. 98)

Imam Abu Hazim Salamah bin Dinar رحمه الله was once asked:
“O Abu Hazim! Do you not see how much prices have increased (how expensive things have become)?”
He replied:
“Why are you worried about that? Indeed, the One (Allah) who provided for us during times of ease will also provide for us during times of hardship.”
(Hilyat al-Awliya 3/239)

(Hilyat al-Awliya 3/239)
Think about it: The provision (rizq) whose responsibility Allah Himself has taken, we are exhausting ourselves worrying about it.
Meanwhile, the matter of the Hereafter is extremely serious — it is where our eternal success or failure will be decided — yet we remain heedless of it.
Let us correct our priorities.

خمسين دعاء مما صحَّ من الأدعية الجامعة عن رسول الله ﷺ، ومما علّمه صحابته -رضي الله عنهم-، فإنها أبرك الأدعية وأنفعها وأجمعها، تجمع لك دنياك وآخرتك.
اقرؤوها بحضور قلوبكم، واغتنموا أوقات الاستجابة.
اقرؤوها بحضور قلوبكم، واغتنموا أوقات الاستجابة.
AL IMAAM ASH SHAYKH RABEE BIN HAADI رحيمه الله SAID:
"Indeed the meaning of steadfastness upon the sunnah, is steadfastness upon Islaam in its entirety: its foundations; its branches; the aqeedah and the manhaj.
We are steadfast upon it and cling tight to it until we meet Allah tabaaraka wa ta'aala."
AL-WASAAYA AL-MANHAJIYYAH PG. 7

Do you have a secret good deed with Allah?
Something that is only between you and Him?
Do you have any charity that you give secretly,
that no one knows except Allah?
There are stories that will not be revealed, except in your book of deeds when you meet Allah.
You truly deserve that, through this,
your status becomes higher near to Allah.
Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said :
By Allah, I have seen one who is abundant in praying, fasting, and exhibiting silence while displaying humility in himself and his dress. Yet the hearts [of the people] turn away from him, and his status amongst them is not all that! And I have seen one who attires himself in fancy clothes, does not perform an abundance of voluntary acts [of worship], nor does he make a show of humility, yet the hearts go one after another in feeling love for him. So I reflected on the reason [for this], and I realized it was because of those actions that are kept hidden from others.

We should have some hidden good deeds that no one knows about except Allah. When Allah rewards those deeds on the Day of Judgment in front of people, others will feel amazed and wish they had done the same, wondering what actions earned such a great reward.
The soul becomes restless and unsettled when it does not receive its portion, the remembrance of Allah and gatherings of knowledge.
How to maintain constant Dhikr:
1. Fulfilling Allah’s commands
First and foremost, Obligatory prayers, we must obey the commands of Allah. When the Mu’adhin calls “حي على الصلاح”, responding to it and establishing the prayer is a form of practical dhikr.
2. Staying away from the forbidden
True remembrance of Allah also includes refraining from what He has prohibited.
3. Following daily Sunnah supplications
From the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, we should adhere to the authentic supplications taught in the Sunnah, such as the duas for waking up, entering and leaving the bathroom, before and after eating, leaving and entering the house, going up and down, and before sleeping.
4. Regular prescribed adhkar
We should also maintain those forms of dhikr that have specific counts mentioned in the Sunnah, such as:
سبحان الله وبحمده (١٠٠ مره)
لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير (١٠٠ مره)
واكثر كذلك من السنة
And increase in other authentic adhkar mentioned in Sahih Ahadees
Rasoolullah ﷺ said:
“Shall I inform you of the best of your deeds, the purest in the sight of your Lord, the highest in your ranks, and better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks while they strike yours in battle?”
They said: “Yes.”
He ﷺ said: “The remembrance of Allah.”
(Tirmidhi: 3377)
The remembrance of Allah is one of the greatest sources of peace, strength, and true happiness in life.

From the virtues of being content with Allah’s decree
Abu Abdullah al-Barathi رحمه الله said:
“No one will come on the Day of Resurrection with a higher rank than those who remained pleased and content with the decree of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, in every situation of their lives.”
(Kitab ar-Ridaa an Allah bi Qada’ihi by Ibn Abi ad-Dunya, p. 59, narration no. 24)

“The easiest people to enter Paradise are women!”
Shaykh Al-Shanqeeti says:
“The easiest people to enter Paradise are women, and this is evident in the saying of the Prophet ﷺ:
If a woman: • performs her five daily prayers, • fasts her month (Ramadan), • guards her chastity, • and obeys her husband—
it will be said to her:
‘Enter Paradise through whichever of its gates you wish.’”
Do you see?
Nothing more is required of you than to perform the five daily prayers, fast the month of Ramadan, protect yourself from what is forbidden, uphold good Islamic manners, and obey your husband and seek his رضا (pleasure).
And the reward is not just Paradise—no!
Rather, on the Day of Judgment, as an honor and distinction for you, it will be said:
“Choose whichever gate you wish to enter Paradise from.”

Rasoolullah ﷺ said,
"In Paradise there is a street to which they would come every Friday.
The north wind will blow and would scatter fragrance on their faces and on their clothes and would add to their beauty and loveliness
Then they would go back to their family after having an added lustre to their beauty and loveliness, and their family would say to them: By Allah, you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us, and they would say: By Allah, you have also increased in beautyand loveliness after us."
[Muslim 2833]

Indeed, for provision (rizq) there is a worry, And indeed for the worry there is a Rabb. And indeed for the Rabb there is a door.
So stand at the door of your Rabb and call upon Him to relieve your worry and to make your provision good, and rejoice!
For indeed the Rabb is Generous and His giving is great.
So whoever calls upon Him, He gives him; and whoever seeks more from Him, He grants him.

Be mindful…
Today marks the beginning of the 1st of Dhul - Qadah, which is one of the sacred months.
Wronging oneself during these months is more severe and graver than at other times, and that happens in two ways:
- Neglecting what Allah has commanded of obedience.
- Committing what Allah has forbidden, such as associating partners with Him, disbelief, innovations, sins, and acts of disobedience

Distance from the Qur’ān is the first step to destruction of Īmān.
Every change starts slowly and gradually.
Reading less than usual…
Skipping revision to just recite, or vice versa…
Missing a day here and there…
Missing multiple days at a time…
Before you know it, the sweetness of Īmān no longer fills your heart. The night prayer begins to slip away. Sins have entered into your life and your time is consumed with them.
The Qur’ān grounds you in faith. It anchors you in Taqwā. It shields you from Munkar. It rejuvenates your soul. Don’t be shocked at the darkness which consumes you once you begin to distance yourself from the Kalām of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى.
Beware of pulling away from it, for how many shining stars did we witness becoming mere pebbles due to their abandonment of Allāh’s Book! How many righteous youth molted until we no longer recognized them due to their distance from the Qur’ān!
Indeed, the Messenger ﷺ said, “Verily, Allāh elevates some people by (virtue of) this Book and abases others." [Muslim]
Awaken yourself from the pits of heedlessness before you are forced awake. Truly, the one who does not take himself to account in this matter is in for a rude awakening.

﴿وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ﴾

من طرق الوصول لمحبة الله أن تحافظ على هذا الدعاء: اللهم إني أسالك حبك، وحُبَّ من يحبك، وحب عمل يقرِّبني إلى حبك.
“One of the ways to attain the love of Allah is to consistently make this supplication: O Allah, I ask You for Your love, the love of those who love You, and the love of deeds that bring me closer to Your love.”
كيف وصلوا إلى هذه المحبة؟! أرشدك الله إلى سِكَّة من السِّكك: لا يزال عبدي يتقرب إلي بالنوافل حتى أحبه.
“How did they reach this love?! May Allah guide you to one of its paths: My servant continues to draw near to Me through voluntary acts of worship until I love him.”

“How did they reach this love?! May Allah guide you to one of its paths: My servant continues to draw near to Me through voluntary acts of worship until I love him.”
قال القرطبي: أحبهم الله تعالى أولًا، ثم أحبوه، ومن شهد له محبوبه بالمحبة كانت محبته أتم.
“Al-Qurtubi said: Allah loved them first, then they loved Him; and whoever is affirmed in love by their Beloved, their love becomes more complete.”
أبشروا يا حبيبات، ففي الحديث أقسم النبي ﷺ — وهو الصادق المصدوق من غير قسم —: والله لا يُلقي الله حبيبه في النار.
“Rejoice, dear ones, for in the hadith the Prophet ﷺ—who is truthful and trustworthy even without swearing—said: By Allah, Allah does not cast His beloved into the Fire.”
“Indeed, Allah is amazed by a young person who has no inclination toward (sinful) desires.” — Hasan (good) hadith
The stage of youth is the time of strength and vitality in a person, and it is a period of trial with desires and impulses. If a young person overcomes their inclinations, restrains themselves through obedience to their Lord, and turns away from worldly sins, that is a sign of sincere faith and strong righteousness.
