‘Ataa’ said: “ „Ubayd ibn „Umayr and I entered upon Aa‟ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Ibn „Umayr said to her, „Tell us of the most amazing thing you saw on the part of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.‟ She wept and said, „He got up one night and said, “O „Aa‟ishah, leave me to worship my Lord.” I said, “By Allah, I love to be close to you, and I love what makes you happy.” So he got up and purified himself, then he stood and prayed. He kept weeping until his lap got wet, then he wept and kept weeping until the floor got wet. Bilaal came to tell him that it was time to pray, and when he saw him weeping, he said, “O Messenger of Allah, you are weeping when Allah has forgiven you all your past and future sins?” He said, “Should I not be a grateful slave? Tonight some aayaat have been revealed to me; woe to the one who recites them and does not think about what is in them: “ Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth...”


[Reported by Ibn Hibaan. He said in al-Silsilat al-Sahihah, no. 68: this is a jayyid isnaad]

لكل شيءٍ في هذه الحياة بريقٌ يلمعُ ثم ينطفئ، ويصبح شيئاً عاديًّا أو شبيهاً بالعاديِّ؛ إلَّا طاعة الله، فهي التي كلَّما جدَّدتها شعرت بلذتها، وكلما أقمتها وجدت متعتها، مثل النَّهر الجاري الذي لا تزيده الحركة إلَّا سلاسةً وصفاءً. | أ.محمد موسى

﴿وَلا تَستَوِي الحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ادفَع بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذي بَينَكَ وَبَينَهُ عَداوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَميمٌ﴾ [فصلت: ٣٤]
يقول تعالى: { وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ } أي: لا يستوي فعل الحسنات والطاعات لأجل رضا الله تعالى، ولا فعل السيئات والمعاصي التي تسخطه ولا ترضيه، ولا يستوي الإحسان إلى الخلق، ولا الإساءة إليهم، لا في ذاتها، ولا في وصفها، ولا في جزائها { هَلْ جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ }
ثم أمر بإحسان خاص، له موقع كبير، وهو الإحسان إلى من أساء إليك، فقال: { ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ } أي: فإذا أساء إليك مسيء من الخلق، خصوصًا من له حق كبير عليك، كالأقارب، والأصحاب، ونحوهم، إساءة بالقول أو بالفعل، فقابله بالإحسان إليه، فإن قطعك فَصلْهُ، وإن ظلمك، فاعف عنه، وإن تكلم فيك، غائبًا أو حاضرًا، فلا تقابله، بل اعف عنه، وعامله بالقول اللين. وإن هجرك، وترك خطابك، فَطيِّبْ له الكلام، وابذل له السلام، فإذا قابلت الإساءة بالإحسان، حصل فائدة عظيمة.
{ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ } أي: كأنه قريب شفيق.
(تفسير السعدي)

قوله (رحمه الله): "و سائر الناس هَمَجٌ لا خير فيهم" ، الذين لا يتعلمون ، ولا يعلمون ، ولا يقيمون دينهم ، هؤلاء همج لا خير فيهم،هؤلاء لا خير فيهم إذا ضيعوا دينهم، لا سيما لو ضيعوا الصلاة، قال تعالى ﴿فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعدِهِم خَلفٌ أَضاعُوا الصَّلاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَواتِ فَسَوفَ يَلقَونَ غَيًّا﴾ [مريم: ٥٩]

When he رحمه الله said: “And the rest of the people are savages in whom there is no good.” — meaning: those who do not learn, do not know, and do not establish / value their religion, they are savages in whom there is no good, especially if they forsake their prayer. Allah said in the quran:

« But there came after them successors [i.e., later generations] who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil*»

A man entered upon Umar رضي الله عنه seeking permission to sit with him during the mid-day (when it is extremely hot).

‘Umar رضي الله عنه made him wait for a long time (lit. prevented him) and then (finally spoke and) gave him permission and said:

“I slept missing my daily portion of the Quran (hizb) so I was making it up (that is why I did not respond to you).”

[Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (rahimahullah), 4782]

I served the Messenger of Allah ʿalayhi al-salam for ten years and he never said about something I did, "Why did you do it?" nor for something I failed to do, "Why did you not do it?" nor did he ever say about a thing, "I wish it was not so," nor about a thing that was not, "I wish it were so." If someone in the family blamed me he would say, "Leave him be, it was destined to be and it happened."

غدًا نلقى الأحبة ..

من علامات محبته ﷺ.. كثرة الشَّوق إلى لقائه، فكلُّ حبيب يحب لقاء حبيبه؛ وفي حديث الأشعريِّين عند قدومهم المدينة أنهم كانوا يرتجزون: "غدًا نلقى الأحبَّة، محمدًا وصحبَه".

’Allah is kind towards His slaves; He grants provision to whomever He wills, and He is the Strong, the Almighty’

Here Allah tells us of His kindness to His slaves, so that they may know Him, love Him, and seek His kindness and generosity Another shade of meaning of the word lateef (translated here as kind) indicates that He knows what is in their hearts and minds, which leads His slaves - especially the believers - to that which is good for them in a manner that they do not know or anticipate.

One aspect of His kindness to His believing slave is that He guides him to that which is good in ways that never cross his mind, by means of what He makes available to him of causes that lead him to that , such as creating in him the love of truth and submission to it, and His inspiring His noble angels to help the believers to be steadfast, and urge them to do good, and make truth fair-seeming in their hearts in order to motivate them to follow it.

Another aspect of His kindness is that He enjoins the believers to do communal acts of worship which strengthen their resolve and motivate them, and lead them to compete in doing good and seeking it and to follow one another’s example

A third aspect of His kindness is that He has made available to His slave every means that may form a barrier between him and sin, to the extent that if Allah knows that worldly gain, wealth, leadership and other things for which people compete in this world could cause His slave to turn away from obedience to Him or make him negligent or lead him into sin, He diverts it from him and restricts his provision.

ما في القلب لا يطَّلعُ عليه إلا رب العالمين ..

الشيخ عبدالرزاق البدر حفظه الله

« among the most harmful things for the servant is his inactivity and not having anything to do, for the nafs does not sit having nothing to do; rather, if one does not busy it with what benefits it, it will busy one with what harms it, and it is bound to do so. »

O  believers! Be mindful of Allah, and say what is right

al-ahzab: 70

The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked, "What deeds are loved most by Allah?" He said, "The most regular constant deeds even though they may be few." He added, 'Don't take upon yourselves, except the deeds which are within your ability."

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله wrote:

“The heart in its journey to Allah is like a bird. Love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings. When the head is healthy, then the two wings will fly well. When the head is cut off, the bird will die.”

one of the pious people once said:
“ I have never made dua to Allah between asr and Maghreb on the day of Friday except that Allah answered it for me until I became shy”

{ it is such a critical time for us muslims to be united and have the atrocities that are happening to our brothers and sisters in Palestine and other places in the world serve as a wake up call to the reality of this world and what is to come. we act as one body and when one part hurts, we all feel it. seek knowledge, improve your prayers, beautify your character. we should strive to become better muslims to help our brothers and sisters.

so don’t forget them in your dua today and everyday. May Allah grant them ease and raise their ranks in this world and the next ❤️‍🩹

قال الرافعي في وحي القلم:‏"دموع المظلومين هي في أعينهم دموعٌ، ولكنّها في يد الله صواعق، يضرب بها الظالم." صـ ١/٤٤٩.

The tears of the oppressed, in their eyes are tears but in the hand of Allah (it is) lightening with which strikes the oppressor.

the messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: if one of you wakes up physically healthy, feeling safe and secure within himself, it is as if he acquired the whole world.

Some women were known to prolong their prayer at night. When asked why, one of them replied, "It beautifies the face and I love to beautify mine."

— Ibn al-Qayyim, Rawḍah al-muḥibbīn, p. 270
