ما أبعد السّماء وأقرب الله 🤍!

قال عليه الصلاة والسلام:
" أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد فأكثروا الدعاء ".

- صحيح مسلم

the prophet ﷺ said:
the slave is closest to his Lord when he is prostrating, so increase in making duā
— sahih muslim

أثر الصحبة الصالحة في زمننا هذا ليس بالهيِّن، وخاصَّة في ظلِّ تغير المبادئ والقيم وانتشار الفتن، أحيانًا المرء يخشى على نفسه من تلك الصوارف ولا يجد مُعينًا له بعد الله سوى لزوم الصحبة التي تُعينه في أمر دينه، ﴿واصبر نفسك مع الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي﴾، الصبر هنا عبادة. | ياسمين العنزي

If the world becomes corrupt and you see yourself mixing with people that increase you in evil and push you away from Allāh, then resort to loneliness.

[Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah), Sharh Riyadh as-Saliheen, 5/453]

"حُبُّ النبيِّ على الأنامِ فريضةٌ
لا تنسَ ذكرَ الهاشميِّ الأكرَمِ
إنَّ الصَّلاةَ على النبيِّ وسيلةٌ
فيها النَّجاةُ لكلِّ عَبدٍ مُسلِمِ
صَلُّوا على القمرِ المُنيرِ فإنهُ
نُورٌ تبدَّى في الغمامِ المُظلمِ ".

🤍 ﷺ

كان الإمام أحمد -رحمه الله- يقول : إذا ذكرتُ الموت هانّ عليَّ كُل أمر الدُّنيا، إِنَّما هو طعام دون طعام وشراب دون شراب، ولباس دون لباس، وإنها أيام قلائل..

a day in which you do not recite the Qurān is a day of wasted blessings. read, recite, memorise whenever and whatever you can.

Ibn `Abbas رضي الله عنه reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
He who does not memorize any part from the Qur'an, is like the ruined house.'

– منهج السلف في تزكية النفوس

الذي يداوم على الشكر، هو الذي لا يلهيه التكاثر
the person who is constant in giving thanks to Allah, is the one who is not distracted by worldly gain

— منهج السلف في تزكية النفوس

One who submits to someone with hatred is not worshiping him. And one who loves someone without submitting to him is likewise not worshiping him; this is like a man who loves his son and friends. Therefore, neither love nor submission alone are sufficient in worshiping Allah. Allah must be loved most by Al-'Abd and He must be the greatest of all in his sight. Nothing deserves complete love and submission except Allah. It is a futile love when anything has been loved for other than the sake of Allah. And whatever has been highly regarded without it being by the Command of Allah, its glorification is rejected.

'the carrier of the Qurān should be known by his night (praying) while the people are asleep, and by his day (fasting) while the people eat, and by his sadness while the people are happy, and by his crying while the people are laughing, and by his silence while the people chatter, and by his humility while the people are arrogant'
— ibn masud رضي الله عنه

May Allah honour us with the status of being ahlul Quran 🤍

أكثر ما يتقلّب على المؤمن نيّته في الأعمال الصالحة، وقد وردت الآثار المتواترة والمستفيضة عن الصحابة والتابعين أنهم ما جاهدوا شيئًا أشد عليهم من النية، ومما يعينك عليها كثرة الدعاء.. جاء عن عمر رضي الله عنه: "اللهم اجعل عملي كله صالحًا واجعله لوجهك خالصًا ولا تجعل لأحد فيه شيئًا".

translation: What turns against the believer most is his intention in righteous deeds, and the successive and extensive reports were reported from the Companions and the tabiin that they did not strive for anything more severe than their intention, and what helps you in that is the abundance in making duā.

it was reported from umar رضي الله عنه:
O Allah, make my deeds righteous, make them purely for Your sake, and do not let anyone else have a share of them

and the recitation of the kitab: following it and acting upon it, like ibn masud رضي الله عنه (when commenting on the verse ‘Those to whom We have given the Book recite it with its true recital' — al baqarah:121’) said:

They make lawful what it allows and they prohibit what it makes unlawful, and they believe in that which is ambiguous in it, and they act according to its rulings.
