And I tried to rid my heart from sins,
But they were carved into my soul too.
Still He covers them so beautifully,
Although I have done nothing to deserve it.
I realised it has nothing to do with me.
It has something to do with his unconditional mercy.

Ibn al Jawzi رحمه الله said
"Be kind to those who are unkind to you,
conclude your affairs in private
and make people your acquaintances and not your friends."
[Saydil al-Khātir, pg. 953]
I noticed that for the past month, I have not really been thinking about giving sadqah, even 10 rupees is hard for me to give, and I am kind of avoiding encountering people in need, so I do not have to pay them anything and this behavior of mine is really the opposite of my personality. Reason: As per the situation, I do not have enough money, but still, during hard times, I don’t stop myself from giving Sadaqah, low or high, it depends The main reason I am thinking that is happening with me is because I have some expenses to handle like doing registration, then thinking about another business so there will be some expenses in the future where I will have to spend some money I am thinking about saving more then spending but that is really not my attitude And through this experience, now I understand that ulama has said right that “keep your expenses low so you do not have to think twice while spending to please Allah”. And I have learnt this from my current situation I am facing, and I have determined myself that I will not stop myself from giving charity irrespective of the situation, I can give less but not nothing because spending to please Allah is much better than spending nothing. I will also need to minimize my expenses, not now only but for the rest of my life, to keep dependency as minimal as possible so I do not have to think twice to give sadqah or helping someone.
This is the story of a man who survived a shipwreck.
He found himself alone on a deserted island. Every single day, he would look up to the sky and beg Allah, “Ya Allah, please send me help.”
Days passed. Then weeks passed. Nothing changed.
So he tried to survive. He gathered pieces of wood and slowly built a small shelter for himself - just something to feel safe, something to protect him. That shelter became everything to him.
One day, he went out searching for food.
When he came back, he saw his shelter on fire.
It was completely burning. Everything he had was gone.
He stood there watching it burn and said, “Ya Allah… even this? This was all I had.”
That night, he slept with a heavy heart, trying to understand why. He had already gone through so much… and now even the small place that gave him protection was taken away.
But the next morning, he woke up to a sound.
A ship.
A rescue ship coming toward him.
He couldn’t believe it.
He asked them, “How did you find me?”
They said, “We saw the smoke from your fire.”
SubhanAllah.
The fire he thought was his destruction… was actually his rescue.
Sometimes, when you reach your lowest point - when it feels like everything is gone - that very moment might be the beginning of your relief.
Allah is not punishing you. He is testing your heart.
Don't lose hope when things go wrong. Trust the One who sees the smoke when you only see the flames. ❤️🕊️
Imān is like a flame, it needs tending. If you become negligent of it, it begins to fade.
And when it fades, so does your strength to keep struggling for His sake.
So renew your faith with every day you’re given. Nurture it with dhîkr, with prayer, with the recitation of the Qur’ān, and with sincere repentance.
Make time to increase your awareness of your Creator!!
A man with Taqwa ♡
Imam Shuray رحمه الله said about his wife Zainab:
"I have seen men beating their women. May my right hand be paralyzed if I beat Zainab. Zainab is like a sun and other women are like stars, when the sun rises, other stars do not shine."
[Siyar Alam al-Nubala' 5/52]
Shaykh Muhammad Aman al-Jami said,
"Conveying knowledge is an obligation, which is an individual obligation in the current time, due to the significant amount of confusion, chaotic statements, deceptions, and different forms of misguidance which are present today."
▫️(Sharh Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah (p. 276)
❝ Anyone who isn’t moved by the suffering of Muslims today- their wars- their persecution and the attacks on their faith and doesn’t stand up for them, support them and resist their enemies is either numb at heart, lacking in zeal, weak in faith or simply doesn’t value his religion at all. ❞
—Shaykh Sulayman bin Nasir al Alwān فك الله أسره
Have mercy on the hungry, feed them, ya Rabb.. Make us among those who help them, ya Allah.. 💔
Islam warns strongly against arrogance, which is the root of many sins. Shaytan was cast out of Paradise because of arrogance. Even a tiny grain of it can block someone from entering Jannah.
Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said :
"Allah has not put your healing in that which He has forbidden for you."
[Al-Bukhari , Kitaab Al-Ashribah]
Behind great men stand great women
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (رحمه الله) said about his mother:
“My mother made me memorize the Qur’an when I was ten years old.
She would wake me up before Fajr, heat water for my wudu in the cold nights of Baghdad, and dress me up.
Then she would put on her khimar, cover herself with her hijab, and walk with me to the masjid — because our house was far and the path was dark!”
So what is the state of mothers today?
What is the meaning of our being a Muslim if we don’t sacrifice perpetually?
Sacrificing our little choices for a better gain in the Akhirah.
Sacrificing a habit or a desire that Allaah dislikes.
Sacrificing a part of sleep to stand in front of the Lord of Might جل وعلا
Sacrificing the ‘urge’ to be seen and covering for His sake.
Sacrificing your cravings and living with the minimum.
Sacrificing your wealth to give in His cause.
Sacrificing your wishes and desires for the future of the Ummah.
Sacrificing your home and family to go forth to build glory and to take the revenge for the cries of the oppressed.
Sacrificing your limbs to reclaim the Shahadah you proclaimed.
Sahabah sacrificed their entire lives, yet today we are reluctant to sacrifice our comforts, little or giant.
Sacrifice is a price that needs to be paid off in full to enter the same Jannah as that of Sahabah.
Being a Muslim comes with a lot of sacrifice — this is what your Deen demands from you.
The choice is yours. Will not take a step ahead?
It is wise not to pay attention to everything, and it is not necessary to have an opinion on every matter. Even if one does hold an opinion, it is not necessary to express it and if it must be expressed, then not in front of everyone.
