Imam al-Shāfiʿī said:
“You will never be able to please everyone, rather rectify what is between you and Allāh and do not care about the people.”
—Manāqib ash-Shāfiʿī li-l-Bayhaqī 2/199
The Beauty Of Islam, and the emphasis of the importance of Loving your mother. Cherish her just as the prophet Muhammad ﷺ told you to cherish her. 🤍
May Allah bless and preserve all of our mothers, ameen ya rab.
Have you sinned the past year?
Are you going to sin next year?
Here is a fix for you:
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Fasting the Day of ‘Arafah, I hope from Allah that it expiates the sins of the year before it and the year after it.”
Eid Mubarak everybody! On this day, we commemorate the blessed day the Lord tested Abraham and ransomed his son with a great sacrifice.
Let us remember, there are no “Abrahamic Faiths”! This is indeed a foolish mockery of Abraham. There is but one Abrahamic faith, the faith of Abraham himself. Islam
“Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; he submitted in all uprightness and was not a polytheist.” Quran 3:67
Peace Be Upon Ibrāhim & his progeny.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
“Watermelon has a cleansing effect. It passes from the stomach faster than cucumber and gourd.
It should be eaten before food, and if it is eaten after food, it should be followed by something else; otherwise it may cause nausea and vomiting.
Some doctors have said that eating it before meals washes the stomach thoroughly and removes disease from its root.”
Zād al-Maʿād (3/175)
“The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the unbeliever.” - prophet Muhammad ﷺ reported by Abu hurayrah, Muslim 2956
as Muslims we do not have a fear of death
“I hate the idea of dying”
I hate the idea of living forever
Why would I want to reside on this earth for any longer than Allah has decreed?
Whether in the cause of Allah or by the passage of time or the failing of health or in an accident or whatever
We have seen Muslims show great composure and tawakkul and acceptance when facing death
I have shared before clips of Muslims doing just this
For example, The Saudi pilot reciting the kalimah before his plane slammed into the ground
Allah says, meaning,
“Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.” 3:185
"He grants wisdom to whoever He wills. And whoever is given wisdom has truly been given much good. But none will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason"
Qur'an 2:269
It’s another beautiful day not believing in a mythical dying rising saviour man-god who died on a stick and rose up three days later for my sins and eat his body and drink his blood for salvation.
How is yours going?
