A Palestinian boy defies the Israeli forces on friday after they prevented him from praying in Al-Aqsa Mosque so he prayed in front of them on the asphalt.

From Anas who said:
“Indeed, there will be a people amongst you who will worship so much that the people will be amazed by them, and they themselves will be amazed by their own deeds. However, they will exit from the Dīn just like the arrow leaves the prey. ”
• Silsilah Ahadīth as-Sahīhah by Shaykh al Albanī, vol. 4/1895
[The ‘Religious’ insurgency of the Khawārij, p. 25. | Translated by ʾAbbas abu Yahya]
The one who accepts the acts of a people is associated with them, like the wife of Lut who was included with them, despite the fact that she didn’t engage in the abomination of sodomy.
Ibn Taymiyyah’s Fatawa (v. 5, p. 344)
Oh Allah ﷻ protect my heart from being attached to something that will not benefit me in my Akhira. آمين
Best advice I ever got was,
“in the case you feel like crying, hurry to make wudū, go to your prayer place in your room, cry to Allāh. Crying in front of others brings no benefit but in front of Allāh, He’s the One Who will grant you ease of heart and mind”
And remember those dark, lonely nights you spent crying, your heart was torn and your mind was troubled.
And you turned to this world for its comfort, and little did it help you, And you ran out of all options so you turned to Allāh, And here you are, standing and strong, And you thought (you forgetting about the troubles of the past) was from your own hard work and efforts,
But Allah was Al-Lateef (The Most Subtle), in dealing with your sadness.
I think you most people understand what I’m talking about, regardless of what caused your pain.
Wa Lakal Hamdu bil eemaan And all praise and thanks (be to Allah) for eemaan (faith)
Were it not for your faith, how would you have coped with those nights?
Increase in seeking Allaah’s forgiveness, for you don’t know when mercy will descend (upon you).
Hasan al-Basri, Lata'if al-Ma'arif (p. 232)
Ya Allāh, never allow my love for something to surpass my love for You.
Nothing good in life comes easy...
Anas bin Malik reported: “The Paradise is surrounded by hardships and the Hell-Fire is surrounded by temptations”
حُفَّتِ الْجَنَّةُ بِالْمَكَارِهِ وَحُفَّتِ النَّارُ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ
.
Ref: Sahih Muslim 2822 In-book ref: Book 53, Hadith 1 Web (English) ref: Book 40, Hadith 6778
.
“The scholars said: This beautiful analogy is from the exquisite, eloquent and comprehensive speech which was bestowed on the prophet (ﷺ). It means that nothing will help you to reach al-Jannah except going through hardships, and nothing will lead you to the Hell-fire except whims and desires. Both are veiled as described, so whoever tears down the veil will reach what is hidden behind it. So the veil of al-Jannah is torn down by going through hardships, and the veil of the Hell-fire is torn down by giving in to whims and desires. And hardships include striving in ‘ibaadah (worship) and persevering upon that, and sabr in the face of hardships, and restraining one’s anger, forgiving and having long-suffering (hilm), giving voluntary charity, having ihsaan (excellent behavior) with those who mistreat you, having sabr against desires, and so on.
And regarding the desires which surround the Hell-fire, and then it is clear that they are the forbidden desires such as intoxicants (khamr), illicit sexual relations (zinaa), gazing at non-mahram women, gossiping, playing musical instruments and so on…”
[Sharh al-Nawawi ‘alaa Muslim #2823]
O soul of mine, why do you insist on oppressing yourself?
“And a trustworthy person told me that Shaykh al-Islām, the leader of the da’wah in Najd (Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb), once said:
‘I saw some people sitting in the mosque with their Qurʾān’s, reciting and weeping. However, they didn’t enjoin the good if they saw it and they didn’t prevent evil if they saw it. I saw people sitting near them saying: ‘These are the source of benefit,’ and I said: ‘These are the source of disgrace.’ Someone heard me and said: ‘You can’t say they are a source of disgrace!’ So, I replied to him: ‘They are blind and mute.’
And this is supported by what some of the Salaf said:
‘The one who is silent about the truth is a silent devil, while the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil.’
So, if the one who compromises by remaining silent comes to know that he is from the most hated of people to Allāh even if he thinks he is good, he would speak openly. And if the one who seeks the approval and pleasure of people came to know that by not speaking out against their evil that those who fall into major sins are better with Allāh than him – even if he assumes himself to be religious – he would repent from his compromise and would retreat from it.
And if the one who is stingy with his tongue from openly proclaiming the command of Allāh came to know that he is a silent devil even if he fasts, prays, and is a zahid, he would do all that he could to avoid being similar to Shayṭtān.”
— Shaykh Hamad bin Abdu'l-‘Azīz al-‘Atīq, ad-Durar as-Saniyyah (8/75-79)
Let’s speak the truth in shAllah
‘O miserable one! You’re disobedient yet you see yourself as a good-doer.
You’re ignorant yet you see yourself as a scholar. You’re miserly yet you see yourself as a generous person.
You’re an idiot yet you see yourself as a sensible person. And your lifespan is short yet your hopes are prolonged’
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
"إِذَا أَحَبَّ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ.“
"If a man loves his brother, then let him inform him that he loves him.”
[Reported by Al-Bukhāri in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad]
Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullah) said:
“الحزن يُضعفُ القلب، ويُوهنُ العزمَ ويَضرُ الإرادة، ولا شيء أحب إلى الشيطان من حزن المؤمن، لذلك افرحوا واستبشروا وتفاءلوا، وأحسنوا الظن بالله، و ثقوا بما عند الله، وتوكلوا عليه، وستجدون السعادة والرضا.”
“Sadness weakens the heart, diminishes confidence and harms willpower, and there is nothing more beloved to the Shaytan than the sadness of a believer, so for this reason rejoice and be optimistic, think well of Allah, trust that which is with Allah and rely only upon him, and you will find happiness and contentment.”
When the Glorious Qur'an, and the Sunnah are abandoned, because it is thought that they are insufficient, and when human opinions, analogy, discretion, and the words of scholars are sought, people’s natures are corrupted, their hearts become dark, their understandings become confused, and their minds become distorted.
[Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Fawaa'id, p.74]
