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

Rasoolullah ﷺ Said
"Your Lord Tabārak Wa Ta'ālā says:
'O son of Ādam !! Set aside time for my worship, I will fill your heart with richness/contentment and fill your hands with provision, O son of Ādam !! Do not distance yourself from me or I will fill your heart with poverty and fill your hands with (unnecessary) work."
[خرجه الحاكم ٤/٣٦٢ وقال : صحيح الإسناد ، ووافقه الذهبي والألباني]

It is reported from Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that he said:
“I heard some supplications from Rasoolullah ﷺ which I will never abandon as long as I live. I heard Rasoolullah ﷺ saying:
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أُعْظِمُ شُكْرَكَ وَأُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَكَ وَأَتْبَعُ نَصِيحَتَكَ وَأَحْفَظُ وَصِيَّتَكَ
‘O Allah, make me among those who are grateful to You, who remember You often, who follow Your guidance, and who preserve Your commandments.'
(Musnad Ahmed 8087)

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﴾
“And those who believe are stronger in their love for Allah.”
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.”
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.

Each night Allah descends to the lowest heaven when the final third part of the night remains and He says, "Who calls upon Me so that I may answer him, who asks Me so that I may give him, who seeks my forgiveness so that I may forgive him?"

People will enter Paradise whose hearts are like the hearts of birds.
[Sahih Muslim 2480]
Paradise is the abode of everlasting bliss that never ends. It is the hope of every believer who strives for it—performing righteous deeds in this world and hoping for that Paradise through the mercy of Allah.
In this hadith, Rasoolullah ﷺ informs us about a group of people who will enter Paradise. He said:
“There will enter Paradise people whose hearts are like the hearts of birds.”
Meaning: their hearts are soft and delicate.
Some scholars said it refers to fear and awe, as birds are among the most fearful of creatures. It may indicate people whose hearts are filled with fear of Allah’s majesty and greatness.
It is also said that it refers to those who rely upon Allah (tawakkul), like birds who go out hungry in the morning and return full in the evening.
This hadith praises those who possess these qualities, and it may include all these meanings together, as there is no contradiction between them.

‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (رضي الله عنه) said:
“You are passing through the course of night and day with lifespans that are steadily decreasing, while your deeds are being preserved and death comes suddenly. Whoever sows good will soon harvest joy, and whoever sows evil will soon harvest regret. Every sower will reap what he has sown. The slow one will not be overtaken in his allotted share, nor will the eager attain what has not been decreed for him. Whoever is given good, it is Allah who has given it to him, and whoever is protected from evil, it is Allah who has protected him. The people of taqwā are leaders, and the scholars are guides, and sitting with them brings increase.”

Four things that bring Rizq
• Praying Qiyam ul lail.
• Seeking forgiveness abundantly at dawn.
• Being consistent in charity.
• Remembering Allah at the beginning and end of the day
Four things that prevent Rizq :
• Sleeping in the morning
• Neglecting prayer
• Laziness
• Betrayal / dishonesty
Rizq is not just wealth - it includes barakah, peace, health, and ease in life.

دعوات الثلث الأخير من الليل تصنع لك المستحيل بأمر الله! نصيحة؛ مهما عظُم همك وكربك وسقمك، لا تجعل هذا الوقت الثمين يمر كل ليلة دون دعاء وإلحاح! لا أقول جرّب، بل ادع الله كل ليلة بقلب موقن ووالله سترى كيف يُرتّب الله لك الأحداث والأسباب والأشخاص -لأجل يقينك الصادق-!
Prayers in the last third of the night can make the impossible happen by Allah’s command!
A piece of advice: no matter how great your worries, distress, or illness are, do not let this precious time pass every night without supplication and earnest الدعاء.
I am not saying “try it,” rather, call upon Allah every night with a heart full of certainty, and by Allah, you will see how He arranges events, causes, and people for you—because of your sincere faith.

من اليقين أن لا تُرضي الناس بسخط الله، ولا تحمد أحدًا على رزق الله، ولا تلوم أحدًا على ما لم يُؤتك الله؛
It is a sign of true certainty that you do not please people at the cost of angering Allah, that you do not praise anyone for what Allah has provided, and that you do not blame anyone for what Allah has not given you.
فإنَّ رزق الله لا يسوقه حرص حريص ولا يرده كراهة كاره.
For indeed, the provision of Allah is not driven by the eagerness of the eager, nor is it held back by the dislike of the disliker.
وإن الله بقسطه وحلمه وعدله جعل الروح والفرح في اليقين والرضا وجعل الهم والحزن في الشك والسخط.
And Allah, in His fairness, forbearance, and justice, has placed peace and joy in certainty and contentment, and has placed worry and sorrow in doubt and discontent.
