abū hurayrah (‏رضي الله عنه) said:

the first things that will be removed from this ummah are modesty and trustworthiness, so ask Allāh for them both.

- makārim al-akhlāq (178)

If you cannot get rid of it, at least get rid of social media. Let youtube be your source of entertainment if that’s what you’re searching for. Also, make sincere dua that Allah frees you from this attachment. You will see within a week, your desire to go back on these apps will go away bi’idhnillah.

Nothing feels better than feeling in control of how you use your time.

A reminder that helps a lot:

If we experience extreme regret after ramadan because of the time we wasted in that month, how extreme will the regret of wasted time be at the moment of death?

#shorts Why music is Haraam (Prohibited) in Islam? | Shaykh Saalih al Uthaymeen

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَشۡكُواْ بَثِّى وَحُزۡنِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَعۡلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

He said, "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah..”

Imām Al-Qurtubī states,
“The reality of Al-Bath (ألبث) [used here to mean grief] is what is cast on the people of those acts of destruction which are not able to be concealed, so calamities became termed as ‘Bath’.

Ibn ‘Abbās (رضي الله عنه) said, “bathaa is affliction or grief”. Al-Hasan al-Basrī (رحمه الله) said, “it means need”. And it is said that it means the most severe sorrow.

[Jāmi’ li-Ahkām Al-Qur’ān]
———
“Trials and tribulations are a means of purification for you. Successful are the ones who rely solely upon their Lord and remain steadfast and patient.

— Shaykh Mūsā Jibrīl ( حفظه الله)

ومن دلائل قدرة الله سبحانه وتعالى أنه يقلب الليل والنهار بمجيء أحدهما بعد الآخر، واختلافهما طولا وقِصَرًا، إن في ذلك لَدلالة يعتبر بها كل مَن له بصيرة.

«يوم الجمعة يوم عبادة، وهو في الأيام كشهر رمضان في الشهور، وساعة الإجابة فيه كليلة القدر في رمضان»
[ابن القيم - زاد المعاد "٣٩٨/١"]

"Friday is the day of worship, its comparison to others days like the comparison of the month of Ramadan to other months and the hour in it is like the Night of Decree in Ramadan."

(Zaad Al-Maad: 1/398)

لا تنسو قراءة الكهف فهي نور بين الجمعتين،
والصلاة على النبي ﷺ.
اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد.

do not forget to recite surat ul khaf for it is the light between the two fridays, and the supplications for the prophet ﷺ.

‏إنّ الصّلاة على النّبيّ عبادةٌ
أمرَ الإلـٰهُ بها العِباد دوامًا

فمُحمّدٌ خيرُ الأنامِ وخاتمٌ
للرُسلِ سمّاهُ الإلهُ إمامًا

فمنِ اهتدىٰ فلنفسهِ ومآلُهُ
جنّاتُ عدنٍ يستطيبُ مُقامًا

ومنِ ارتضى كُفـ،ـرًا فبئسَ مآلُهُ
قد خابَ سعيًا واستحقَّ أثامًا

Allah says in Sūrat Yusuf:

"Thus did We plot for Yusuf" Al Qur’an 12:76

Commenting on this, Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) wrote:

In the story of Yusuf, Allah draws our attention to the fact that for a believer who places his trust in Allah, if the created beings plot against him, then Allah will plot for him and support him independent of any ability or power of the person himself.

[Fatawa al-Kubra, Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah), 6/132]

Ibn al-Mu’taz رحمه الله:

“Leave off the minor & major sins, and this is having Taqwa!

And be as though you are walking on a land that is filled with thorns, so that you are careful with every move you make.

And do not take minor sins lightly, for the mountains are placed on small stones (ie. minor sins lead to major sins).”

[Jami’ al ‘Uloom wal-Hikam 1/402]

"صديق الإنسان ومحبه هو من سعى في عمارة آخرته وإن أدى ذلك إلى نقص في دنياه." | الأمام النووي رحمه الله في شرح مسلم.

"The (true) friend of a person and the one who really loves him is the one who strives towards building his hereafter, even if that may lead to a deficiency in his worldly life." | Imam an-Nawawi, Explanation of Sahih Muslim.

Al-Hasan said: “I saw ‘Uthmān sleeping in the mosque under a blanket and no one was with him while he was the Amīrul Mu’minīn (Leader of the Believers)”

A Muslim should be doing these acts every day:

- Praying 5x
- Praying Sunnah prayers
- Tahajjud
- Dhikr in the morning and evening
- Reading Qur’ān, pondering over its meaning
- Giving charity (even if little)
- Making abundant du’ā
- Self reflection and Tawbah
- Some form of seeking knowledge

Try to implement all of these in your daily life, even if it is only a little that you can do from it, it is better than nothing (except for 5 obligatory prayers, as they must be done in totality, no matter the circumstance)

حفظ القرآن: سهل يسير.
‏مراجعة المحفوظ:مناضلة وكفاح.
‏الاستمرار في المراجعة:ًجهاد نفس.
‏تثبيت الحفظ: هدف عظيم.
‏استرسال المحفوظ:نعمة عظيمة.

‏ستفرّ كلّ هذه الحياة بأشغالها وأتعابها، ويبقى لك ما أعطيت القرآن من وقتك وقلبك وعملك، سيبقى نورًا معك، سيبقى نورًا معك!

"إذا استقر حبُّ المعصية في القلب، بحثت النفس عن أسباب لإباحتها."

If the love of sin settles in the heart, the soul searches for reasons for its permissibility.

Ad-Dhahāk would cry at the end of the day and say:

"I don't know which of my deeds have been raised (to the heavens)."

[لطائف المعارف ١٢٧]

"as for the hereafter, the wealth wont benefit innit, but the light of the hearts, their secrets and their sincerity would."

﴿قَد أَفلَحَ المُؤمِنونَ ۝ الَّذينَ هُم في صَلاتِهِم خاشِعونَ﴾
‏"الصلاة إذا أنارت قلبك أنارت قبرك ، وإذا آنستك فوق الأرض آنستك تحتها "🤍
