يحبُّ الفتى طول البقاءِ كأنَّهُ
على ثِقةٍ أنَّ البقاءَ بقاءُ
إذا طوى يوماً طوى اليومَ بعضَهُ
ويطويه إن جَنَّ المساءُ مساءُ
زيادته في الجِسم نقصُ حياتهِ
وأنّى على نقص الحياة نماءُ

O mankind, fear your Lord and fear a Day when no father will avail his son, nor will a son avail his father at all. Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allāh by the Deceiver [i.e., Satan].

Indeed, Allāh [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Aware.

{ luqman :33-34 }

قال النبيّ ﷺ:
"إن لله ملائكةً سيَّاحين في الأرض،
يبلِّغوني‏ من أمتي السلام"

اللهمّ صل وسلم على من لا نبيَّ بَعده🤍.

’ if the heat of the summer hurts you, and so does the dryness of autumn, and the cold of winter, and the good time of spring distracts you, then when will you take knowledge?’

– قيمة الزمن عند العلماء, ص٢٦٤

’ and from the preservation of time in islam is the emphasis on earliness, and the desire for the muslim to start his work in the day energetic and good natured, full of determination, as the eagerness to benefit from the beginning of the day follows a strong desire to not waste everything else in vain’

ibn uthaymin (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“How often does one of us become better after a sin than he was before!?

A person often commits an error and falls into sin, and then finds his heart extremely saddened, and so he turns to Allaah, repenting to Him much, to the point that he keeps thinking about the sin, full of remorse, repenting continually!”

— Sharh al-Mumti’
[ beneficial knowledge ch. ]

Don’t say: I don’t have time for the Quran.
Say: The Quran isn’t from one of my (main) priorities.

من أدعياء النبي ﷺ: اللهم إنّي أعوذُ بكَ من علمٍ لا ينفع ومن قلبٍ لا يخشع ومن دعوةٍ لا يستجابُ لها

lately…

you might’ve missed your prayers or woken up late to them
you might’ve said something you didn’t want to say
you might’ve quarreled with a loved one over something minuscule
you’ve might’ve done something you shouldn’t have
you might’ve reacted harshly to someone
You might’ve broken a promise
You might’ve spoken to someone you shouldn’t have
you might’ve been tempted to dress a certain way you shouldn’t have
you might’ve gone to areas you shouldn’t have
you might’ve watched or listened to something you shouldn’t have
you might’ve not read the Quran as much as you could’ve have
you might’ve not benefitted from your time in good as you should’ve


…. and the list goes on. perhaps while reading this you might’ve reflected over what you have done, and yet there is so much that the scribes write that we don’t know of or forget.
ما يلفظ من قولٍ إلّا لديه رقيبٌ عتيد
Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it)

in these blessed hours of friday, make tawbah, seek forgiveness, turn that page around and don’t end the day without doing so. we have a Lord that is the Most Compassionate and Forgiving. Turn to Him.

He is the constant in a world that is not. He is the Eternal in a world that is not. His promise is true and His punishment is true. Jannah is true, and Jahannam is true. And He is always near to the one that calls out to Him.


وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.

Benefiting people is a blessing. Whoever fulfills a need of someone should not busy himself with waiting for people to thank him instead of thanking Allah for such a blessing. It’s from Allah’s blessing upon you to have made fulfilling people’s needs on your hands.

One of the best kinds of doing good is worshipping the Creator by praying at night, which is indicative of sincerity and of harmony between what is in the heart and the words one utters.

Hence Allah says: they — namely the doers of good used to sleep but little at night that is, their sleep at night was little. most of the night was spent in devotion to their Lord, by praying, reading Qur’an, remembering Allah, calling upon Him and beseeching Him.

and before dawn that is, the time just before dawn they would seek forgivenes from Allah

– tafsir si’di, سورة الذاريـٰت

لَن تَنَالُوا۟ ٱلْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ

فما كان أحب إلى المرء إذا تقرب به إلى الله تعالى كان أفضل له من غيره؛ وإن استويا في القيمة.
ابن تيمية: ٢ / ١٠٨.

‘By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness - here it means Allâh’s Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allâh’s Cause) of that which you love’
al-imran:92

- if a person draws closer to Allah with that (wealth/money) which is dearest to him, then that is best over anything else — even if they are equal in value.
ibn taymiyyah رحمه الله

Every time time your past sins come back to haunt you, and the shame that is still lingering from your mistakes overtakes you, and the shaytans whispers taunt you, remember the words of our beloved Prophet ﷺ

"التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له."

The one who repents from sin is like the one who did not sin.

And this is enough of an honour and praise for you, oh slave of Allah.

لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ

دليل على أن الكفار غير منعم عليهم في الدنيا؛ لأن حقيقة النعمة الخلوص من شوائب الضرر العاجلة والآجلة، ونعم الكفار مشوبة بالآلام والعقوبات، فصار كمن قدم بين يدي غيره حلاوة من عسل فيها السم، فهو وإن استلذ آكله لا يقال أنعم عليه؛ لأن فيه هلاك روحه.

القرطبي: ٥ / ٤٨١.

Ibn al-Qayyim said: “If Allaah intends good for the needy slave, He tests him with something in order to bring him down and to lower his neck in humiliation and to decrease his importance to himself.”
