Abdullāh ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله عنه said:
If I had ten days left to live, and I knew that I would die by the end of them, and I had enough time to get married, I would get married, due to fear of temptation!

We are living in the era of fir'oun once again. but this time, it's not just one fir'oun, it's a system a world built on arrogance, injustice, and bloodshed!
The Prophet صللہ علیہ وسلم said;
"The Black Stone came down from Paradise, whiter than snow, but the sins of the children of Adam turned it black."
📚 [Al-Silsilah Al-Sahihah (2618)]
“When Muḥammad ibn Wāsi’ wanted to sleep, he would say to his family: ‘I place you in the care of Allah, for perhaps it may be my death from which I will not rise.’ And this was his habit whenever he wanted to sleep.”
[Jāmi’ al-‘Ulūm wa’l-Ḥikam, p. 716 ]
Reminder: Tomorrow is Monday. The Prophet ﷺ used to fast on Mondays.
Abū Qatāda al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه reported that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said:
It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.
[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1162e]
Yahya b. Mu'adh:
The Dunya [world] is worthless to its Lord [Allah], and yet it belongs to Him. So it’s not right that you value it so much, and it’s not even yours!
(Hilyat'l-Awliya’, 14549)
Shaykh al‑Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said:
“Whenever you become dependent on people, even for a drink of water, your value in their eyes decreases in proportion to your dependence on them.”
[Majmuʿ al‑Fatawa, 1/39]
Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه reported that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said:
If you were not to commit sins, Allah would have swept you out of existence and would have replaced you by another people who have committed sin, and then asked forgiveness from Allah, and He would have granted them pardon.
[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2748b]
(The point is not that a person never falls — every son of Ādam is a sinner. The point is that he keeps returning to Allah in sincere repentance and does not persist in the sin.)
Imam Ibn al-Qayim رحمه الله said :
"Know that the greatest of losses is for you to be preoccupied with one who will bring you nothing but a loss in your time with Allah."
Al-Wabil as-Sayyib, pg. 45
Things About Another Muslim That You Should Never Reveal
In Islam, protecting a person's dignity, privacy, and honor is an act of faith. Someone's trust, secrets, and mistakes are not yours to expose. Sometimes, the greatest kindness is to remain silent about what Allah has concealed.
1. Their hidden sins
Never expose someone's private sins simply to shame them, damage their reputation, or make yourself appear more righteous. If Allah has concealed their shortcomings, do not rush to uncover what has been hidden.
Reference: Sahih Muslim 2590
2. Their personal faults and weaknesses
If you discover someone's flaws through personal interactions, do not turn that knowledge into a weapon against them. Everyone has weaknesses, and nobody would want their own imperfections to become a source of humiliation.
Reference: Sahih Muslim 2699
3. Their secrets
When someone confides in you, they place their trust in your character. Do not betray that trust by sharing their secrets with others, even when doing so might earn you attention or sympathy.
Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 4868
4. The intimate details of a married couple's private life
The private matters between a husband and wife are a sacred trust. Revealing intimate details of their relationship to others is a serious violation of privacy and dignity.
Reference: Sahih Muslim 1437
5. Things you discover by spying on them
Do not invade someone's privacy by secretly searching for their mistakes, reading their private messages, or investigating matters that are none of your business. Islam teaches believers to avoid suspicion and spying.
Reference: Q 49:12
6. Their mistakes, just to embarrass them
Never bring up someone's mistakes in public merely to make them feel small. Correcting someone with sincerity and kindness is different from humiliating them in front of others. Your intention should be to help them improve, not to destroy their confidence.
Reference: Q 49:11
7. Their private conversations
A conversation shared in confidence should not become entertainment for others. Do not repeat someone's words, disclose their private discussions, or twist their statements to create conflict.
Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 4868
8. Family matters shared with you in confidence
When someone opens up about their family problems, they are often sharing something deeply personal. Do not turn their pain into gossip or use their family struggles as a topic of discussion with others. Honor the trust they have placed in you.
Reference: Q 23:8, concerning the fulfillment of trusts
9. Their secrets after an argument
Never use someone's vulnerabilities against them simply because your relationship has changed. The secrets they shared when they trusted you do not suddenly become yours to expose when you are angry. Your character is revealed not only by how you treat people you love, but also by how you treat those with whom you disagree.
Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 4868, concerning the seriousness of betrayal and the prohibition of harmful speech
10. Their flaws for entertainment or gossip
Someone else's pain should never become your entertainment. Do not mock their appearance, laugh at their struggles, or gather with others to discuss their shortcomings. A person's dignity does not become less valuable just because they are absent from the conversation.
Reference: Q 49:11–12
11. Unverified information about them
Never spread a rumor without verifying whether it is true. A single careless statement can destroy someone's reputation, damage relationships, and cause harm that cannot easily be undone. Verify information before speaking, and remain silent when you cannot establish the truth.
Reference: Q 49:6
12. Your suspicions about them, presented as facts
Having a suspicion does not mean you know the truth. Do not turn assumptions into accusations or convince others that your doubts are established facts. Give people the fairness you would hope to receive yourself.
Reference: Q 49:12
