And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect, And for those who fear Allah,He will make their path easy (At-Talaaq 2-3)

[Uncle K Esq @Supheey]

Bookmarked this since yesterday so I can finally come back to it with a detailed submission. So you’ve made some very good points especially dying a shahid and when one looks at the high status one attains with that type of death, it may be the best thing to go ahead and depart now. So there are multiple levels to this especially from the arifeen about their longing to meet Allah (SWT) and other points but since your question is a personal one, I’d say that I will prefer to live a hundred years(in good health o) before I pass and enter Jannah. Jannah is one of the greatest success a believer can attain(There’s something greater according to our tradition), but the journey to it also has immense value. Every additional day of life is another opportunity to worship Allah, seek His forgiveness, help His creation, give charity, acquire beneficial knowledge, raise righteous generations, and leave behind deeds whose rewards continue long after death. Although the destination remains the same, the rank in Jannah can continue to increase through a life filled with sincere worship and good deeds. This is why Sayyidna Rasoolillah described the best of people as those who live long and whose deeds are good. A long life is not a blessing because of its length alone, but because of what it allows a believer to accomplish for Allah. At the same time, a believer’s heart should always long to meet Allah and enter His Paradise. Yet Islam teaches us not to wish for death simply out of that longing. Rather, we entrust our lives to Allah and ask Him to keep us alive as long as life is better for us, and to take us when death is better for us. So in summary, I’ll want to live long to keep doing good deeds over a long period of time before I enter Jannah!

He said: "This is the outcome of the School of Imam Husain (A.S.)—the school of sacrifice. We prefer martyrdom to submission; that is the lesson Imam Husain taught us."

The Leader added that divine victory belongs to those who follow the path of Imam Husain (A.S.), Imam Ali (A.S.), the Messenger of Allah (S), and Imam al-Mahdi (ATFS). He affirmed that Imam al-Mahdi (ATFS) is their divinely appointed leader whose reappearance is certain, and that Islam will ultimately prevail throughout the world. He expressed confidence that the followers of this path will, by Allah's permission, rise from numerical weakness to strength and from humiliation to honour.

He also paid tribute to the twenty-one martyrs who lost their lives in the bomb attack targeting the Arba'een procession along the Kano axis in 1435 AH. Referring to those who continue to persecute believers, he declared:

"Whether you shoot at us or not, we shall never abandon our religious obligations."

Towards the conclusion of his address, the Leader criticised the country's leadership for what he described as its indifference to the lives and welfare of the people. Nevertheless, he expressed confidence that such a state of affairs would not endure.

He stated: "Do not be deceived into thinking that because we appear few today, we are insignificant. We represent the entire nation, and before long you will witness the whole nation standing with us. Insha'Allah, this is Allah's promise—that this religion shall be firmly established. Indeed, it is as though it has already been established."

The Leader concluded his address with prayers, asking Allah to grant all participants a safe journey back to their homes.

The programme commenced at approximately 10:00 a.m. with a Ma'atham recitation by Ittihadus Shu'ara. This was followed by display performances presented by Hurras and Intizar, while IM Production staged a dramatic reenactment of the tragedy of Karbala before the Leader (H) delivered his address. The event concluded later that afternoon.

Sheikh Zakzaky Declares the School of Imam Husain the Path to Justice, Dignity, Ultimate Victory

The Leader of the Islamic movement, His Eminence, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) delivered the closing address of this year's Arba'een commemoration of Imam Husain (A.S.) on Tuesday, 20 Safar 1448 AH, corresponding to 4 August 2026. The event was held at the Suleja Township Stadium, located on the outskirts of Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory Abuja.

In his address, Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H) reminded participants that the 20th of Safar marks the fortieth day after the martyrdom of Imam Husain (A.S.) members of his household, and his loyal companions. He explained that the observance of Arba'een has been an established Islamic tradition since 61 AH, when the distinguished Companion, Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (RA), became the first pilgrim to visit the grave of Imam Husain (A.S.) following the tragedy of Karbala. According to the Leader, Jabir stood at the grave, wept, and called upon his beloved Imam, despite knowing that no response would be heard.

The Leader (H) quoted a narration transmitted by Jabir (RA), in which the Messenger of Allah (S) said: "Whoever loves a people will be resurrected with them, and whoever loves the deeds of a people will share with them in their deeds.

He then declared: "Bear witness that we love Husain, we love the family of Husain, and we love the companions of Husain. We cherish them and their noble deeds, and we pray that Allah resurrects us in their company.

Reflecting on the annual Arba'een pilgrimage in Karbala, the Leader stressed the profound significance of the occasion, describing Arba'een as one of the defining characteristics of a true believer. He cited the well-known narration of Imam Hasan al-Askari (A.S.), which identifies the visitation (Ziyarat) of Imam Husain (A.S.) on Arba'een as one of the five distinguishing signs of a believer, explaining that this act of devotion may be performed either by physically visiting the shrine or by offering salutations from afar.

He further observed that the commemoration of Arba'een has grown into a global phenomenon, with believers across both the East and the West marking the occasion. He described this worldwide observance as a manifestation of preserving and reviving the legacy of the Ahlul Bayt (A.S.).

The Leader also recalled the historic sermon of Sayyida Zainab (A.S.) before Yazid, in which she proclaimed that he would never succeed in erasing the remembrance of the Ahlul Bayt (A.S.). He noted that, centuries later, Imam Husain (A.S.) continues to be remembered and honoured, while Yazid (LA) remains universally condemned.

He remarked: "If you are offended when the accursed are cursed, then you yourself are among the accursed. For no one is displeased by the condemnation of the accursed except the accursed themselves.

The Leader explained that Allah has appointed the Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) as the criterion by which truth is distinguished from falsehood. He reflected on Imam Husain's (A.S.) defining choice between submission to tyranny and martyrdom, emphasising that the Imam chose martyrdom over humiliation. Reaffirming the immortal declaration, Hayhāt Minnā al-Dhillah ("Far be it from us to accept humiliation"), he stressed that the followers of Imam Husain (A.S.) will never submit to oppression.

Shaikh Zakzaky stated: "Allah has honoured us and elevated our dignity; therefore, we shall never accept to live under the domination of the contemptible.

The Leader further stated that the School of Imam Husain (A.S.) has inspired generations with invaluable lessons of faith, sacrifice, and steadfastness. He cited the Islamic Revolution in Iran, forty-seven years ago, as one of the fruits of those teachings. Despite decades of sanctions and sustained external pressure, he noted, Iran has continued to grow stronger, developing the capacity to defend itself against its adversaries an achievement he described as a source of pride for Muslims.

[Lovers of RasoolAllah ﷺ @MawlidSufi]

We have nothing but Prophetic prayers (salawat). Prophetic prayers are our emblem. They're our cure, our elixir, our gaze, our intuition, our kohl, our beauty. Is there anything more resplendent than sending Salawat?

Obsessing over money will really eat into your soul, wallahi there are way more important things. Especially as a man.

Leave the hustle culture.

Work hard but enjoy the process and do the things you love and if money comes then welcome it and be grateful to Allah, and spend it on your family and in charity, and if it doesn’t and God has given you enough food and shelter, then also be grateful.

Life is way too short, we’re all on borrowed time.

Have a little time every day that's just yours. No phone. No interruptions. No expectations. Just you, doing whatever makes you feel at peace—reading, cooking, sitting in silence, going for a walk, or doing absolutely nothing.

[Item Inya Item @Healthwolf2]

Don't force feelings. Don't force love. Don't force involvement. Be you. Let people choose. And if they don't choose you, accept the answer with dignity. That's not rejection. That's redirection. Maturity knows the difference. And maturity sleeps well at night knowing no one was manipulated into staying. What stays on its own is the only thing worth having.

[Assim Alhakeem @Assimalhakeem]

A word of advice to our Muslim influencers and celebrities:

1- Life is short and it is a test as Allah stated in the Quran in many places.

2- Ali may Allah be pleased with him, the cousin of the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam and the 4th Caliph said:

And if we were to be set free after we die, then death would be a relief for everyone
The problem is that when we die, we are resurrected, and after that, we are questioned about every thing!

3- Fame is blinding and deafening. It makes
us lose our senses till wrong becomes right and sins become the norm in our lives. This is when we become "comfortably numb"!

4- Gaining likes and more followers is the sole objective in life to most our Muslim celebrities. They don’t care whether this pleases Allah or angers Him! Fame is quick sand that sucks you in with every move you make.

5- People may complement you for your charm, your beautiy or your art and to tell the truth, you might be gifted in all of that. The problem is: would all of that benefit you in your grave and on the day of judgment or would it only further your descent in hell?

5- Look at all the celebrities and influencers 20 or 30 years before you. Where are they now and where is their fame, charm and admirers?

They are all forgotten and only Allah knows what is happening to them in their graves as we speak.

6- It doesn’t matter what people say about you as there will always be people who adore you and people who hate your guts.

What really counts is: What does Allah say about you?

[محمد 🇮🇶🇮🇷 @ElR4fidhi]

"Surely, when the believer has a nightmare, he is forgiven of his sins. When his body becomes ill, his sins are forgiven."
- Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (as)

[smoothie @shedrinkswater]

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they speak of love, especially when they say they do not want it, or that having a partner will become a blockage to the life they are meant to build. More often than not, it is an ideology of love constructed from trauma, disappointment, fear, and the slow humiliation of believing that what they truly desire may never arrive.

Everyone wants love. At the end of the day, when the world has gone quiet and you are lying in your bed with nothing left to perform, to prove, to distract yourself with, the body still seeks warmth, connection, recognition, and the unbearable tenderness of being known by someone who chooses to stay. People deny this and call it freedom because they have started thinking that hopelessness is enlightenment.

Love does not block growth. Love reveals where growth is still required. It will not always arrive as softness, ease, and gilded reassurance. Sometimes it will come as confrontation, rupture, discomfort, patience, repair, and the excruciating demand to remain present with another human being when every wounded part of you wants to run. You have to stay long enough to discover what the love is trying to make of you.

The right love gives you a centre from which you can enter the world with greater courage. You become more free to explore, build, create, risk, and become, because you are no longer moving through life with that quiet, subterranean ache of wondering whether anyone truly loves you, or whether all your striving is only an elaborate attempt to distract yourself from the absence of home.

When you are loved properly, the question of what you are working so hard for begins to answer itself. You are building for a life that can hold love, protect it, honour it, and make it easier for both of you to exist inside the world.

Those who have truly loved know this intimately. Love is one of the most brutal, sacred, and transformative forces through which you truly grow.

Whoever wishes to dwell in the proximity of their Prophet, and the proximity of Ali and Fatima, must not neglect visiting Hussain (as).

Whether you meet someone yourself or through a traditional arrangement, only marry someone who is intellectually compatible with you. Someone you can genuinely be yourself around. Someone you'd be happy to raise children with. Someone you hope to enter Jannah with.

[Mahdi Rastani @mahdi_rastani]

Allah swears 11 times in surah al-Shams to say this:

"Indeed the one who purifies his soul is successful, and the one who corrupts it has failed."

That's what life is all about. The rest is distractions.

[Uncle K Esq @Supheey]

There’s nothing left unsaid. This week alone, we’ve seen videos from across the country that expose the dysfunctionality of Nigeria as a whole. I don’t believe the almajirai seen here, or those at Pellas’ wedding, are products of any state Government’s mass wedding programme or the result of a gateman having four wives. These are symptoms of deeper, long standing systemic failures that cut across the country.
