يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَقُولُوا۟ قَوْلًۭا سَدِيدًۭا

[Xavier @xavierjp__]

Whatever harms befall me

Whatever humiliation I face in this life

Whatever calamities come my way

Whatever difficulties I face

They are all from myself

And whatever good comes my way

Whatever blessings I receive

Whatever and whoever of benefit enters my life

This is all from Allah

This is (part of) islam.

A religion of accountability

There is no palming off your difficulties to other people

There is only taking responsibility for your situation and what led you into it

Riding a bicycle fundamentally makes no sense.

Because you walk too slow, you use THE SAME LEGS to pedal the bike.

[Anas @TheCleanestFit]

To the young Muslim men, take this as a sincere advice from my heart to yours, a reminder first to myself and then to you.

I ask الله to grant us the success to act upon it and make it a source of benefit for us all.

First, do not let the anxieties of this world and Rizq consume you.

Your Rizq has been decreed by the One who created you.

You can run until you are breathless and exhaust every effort, yet you will never attain a single grain more than what الله has already written for you.

I am not telling you to abandon your worldly efforts, but I am warning you not to let this pursuit become your sole purpose.

Do not let the love of wealth and status take root in your heart, for it will surely take you away from the reason you were created.

Focus your ambition on the Pleasure of الله, and the world will come to you in due time without enslaving you.

Let your intention in seeking wealth be to remain independent of people and to spend in ways that please Him.

As in the hadith, how excellent is pure wealth in the hands of a righteous man.

And Money should be a shield and support for your Deen.

Second, and with all the gravity I can muster, I warn you: beware the Fitnah of women.

This is the warning of our Prophet ﷺ who said he left no Fitnah more harmful to men than this.

If you have the means to marry young, then do so without delay.

Protect your gaze, safeguard your chastity, and find your peace in whats Halal.

But if you cannot, then you must guard your heart with an iron will.

If you open this door prematurely, you risk drowning in a sea of desires that will strip you of your focus, your strength, and your honor.

Its a slow destruction that eats away at your youth and your devotion.

Stay away from places of temptation, lower your gaze, and do not even allow the wandering thoughts to settle in your mind.

Keep your eyes fixed on the Hereafter.

Remember that death is certain and that we are utterly powerless without the help of الله.

Turn to Him, admit your weakness, and seek His strength, for if we are left to our own devices for even a moment, we are ruined.

Put your trust in Him alone.

I ask الله to guide us and you to all that is good, to make you a fortress for this Ummah, and to grant you success in every field you enter.

May He raise your ambitions and make you a means of victory for this Deen.

And الله is predominant over His affairs, but most of the people do not know.

[Hunt @El_Hunto]

Many focus on Taraweeh, but forget the foundation.

The five daily prayers are obligatory
Pray them on time. Men in the masjid in congregation.

Taraweeh is Sunnah. Still it’s beautiful, rewarding, but optional.

Filling the masjid for Taraweeh, but missing Fajr or any other obligatory prayers is a serious mistake.

[Muhammed Ali @Chainless_Slave]

Weeks after the release of the Epstein files explicitly naming presidents & government officials, not a single large-scale protest has been witnessed in America, not even ONE!

Never again do we want to hear Americans lecture anyone about women’s rights, freedom, or human values.

[Xavier @xavierjp__]

And these lot expect me to be sympathetic when I hear US veterans are homeless or shooting themselves

“Would you care to donate to help take care of our veterans”

Naah you’re alright thanks

“2 minutes silence for our heroes”

Thanks for reminding me, now I’m gonna make as much noise possible

“We need to help veterans suffering with PTSD”

No we don’t, they deserve it. Every nightmare, every sleepless night, every mental breakdown, every failed marriage, they deserve it all and more

Bunch of war criminals who hide behind the “I was just following orders” gimmick like they aren’t sadistic sex pests who use gangr*pe and sex trafficking as a weapon of war

Day of judgement is gonna be long for them and I want a front row seat to watch their fate be decided and exacted

[Xavier @xavierjp__]

3 men face a tremendous trial

Loss of a job
Loss of wealth
Setback in career
Divorce
Bereavement
Anything along those lines

The first falls into despair and complains “oh Allah why would you do this to Me, what did I do to deserve this”

The second grits his teeth and bears the calamity with patience

The third is content and almost pleased with the calamity, as he sees in it, an opportunity to get closer to Allah.

Whether it be through:
- expiation of sins
- a means of him turning back to Allah after he forgot Allah
- a means of repentance

Either way

The first is sinful
The second is admirable
But the third… he is what we should all aim to be

[Ahmed #B2B🇦🇷 @MESSI10_8_]

تخيلوا ان حتى هذه الحالة جا الإسلام بشيء فيها

الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام التام الخالي من أي عيب أو نقص

[Xavier @xavierjp__]

“Islam needs to be reformed to fit the modern age”

No. It does not.

Our religion will remain as it has for 1400 years - unchanged, untainted and undistorted

What was permissible then is permissible now

What was impermissible then is impermissible now

What was truth then is truth now

What was falsehood then is falsehood now

We dot not change our religion to fit us

Rather, we change to fit our religion

سقطت حكومة الإمارات في امتحان نصرة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ومعاقبة المسيء إليه. دخل تومي روبينسون مبتسمًا وخرج مبتسمًا، بينما لو كانت الإساءة موجهة إلى محمد بن زايد لكان مصيره عنبر رقم 9 في سجن الوثبة أو ممكن حتى سجن الرزين.

[Dilly Hussain @DillyHussain88]

Congratulations to my Syrian brothers and sisters.

May Allah bless and preserve you all. Ameen.

The world forgot your struggle. They turned their backs on you. Superpowers and their proxies used your cause for their wicked and destructive agendas.

Hundreds of thousands were martyred, millions displaced, and entire cities reduced to rubble.

Yet against all odds, you persevered, remained steadfast, and fulfilled your covenant with Allah.

The land of Syria is blessed and honoured. Its people are blessed and honoured. It will remain so until Yawm al-Qiyama.

May Allah bless Syria’s martyrs, its widows, its orphans, its defenders, and its rebuilders. Ameen.

May Allah bring peace, security, and prosperity to Syria. Ameen.

[ابن خليل @ibnkhleel]

At the end of surah Yusuf, after everything he’d been through, Prophet Yusuf (alayhis salam) simply said:

إِنَّ رَبِّي لَطِيفٌ لِمَا يَشَاءُ

“My Lord is gentle (so subtle, so kind) in the way He brings about whatever He wills.”

And when you look at his life, you understand why he said it with such certainty.

-Thrown into a well by the very brothers who were supposed to protect him.

-Sold for a few coins in a land far from home.

-Falsely accused and dragged off to prison.

-Forgotten there, year after year, while the one person who could free him moved on with his life.

Every single moment looked like disaster.

Every door that closed seemed final.

Yet every single one of those moments was Allah moving him, step by step, toward something greater than he could have imagined: authority in a kingdom, reunion with his family, and the saving of nations from famine.

But here’s the part that hits deepest:

Allah wasn’t only raising Yusuf to a throne. He was polishing his heart.

-The well taught him detachment from the world.

-Slavery taught him humility.

-Prison taught him patience and complete reliance on Allah alone.

-Being forgotten taught him that only Allah never forgets.

By the time he stood in front of his brothers (the same ones who once wanted him gone), there was no anger in his voice, no desire for revenge, no trace of arrogance.

Just full of mercy and forgiveness.

That’s what the fire does when Allah is the One controlling the heat: it doesn’t burn you, it refines you.

So when you’re in your own well right now… when the door feels locked… when people have moved on and it seems like even your dua is forgotten… remember Yusuf (alayhis salam).

What feels like punishment might be preparation.

What feels like delay might be protection.

What feels like breaking might actually be the gentleness of Allah shaping you into someone who can carry the blessings He’s about to give without them destroying you.

He is Al-Lateef.
He works in ways softer than silk, quieter than breath, kinder than we can comprehend.

Trust Him.
You’re not stuck.
You’re being carried.

[AkhiTweet @AkhiTweet]

I find people like this man so hilarious.
They leave Islam, then make their whole personality about leaving islam, thus never really leaving the sphere of Islam at all, and spend the one life they have to live constantly discussing the very thing they supposedly left?

Go ‘enjoy’ the dunya and leave us alone you melon.

[Xavier @xavierjp__]

Doesn’t matter how badly things are going in your life

As a man

You still need to show up to your prayers
You still need to show up to work
You still need to show up to the gym
You still need to show up for your family

You pack up your troubles and bury them for the day whilst you take care of your responsibilities

You don’t let them spill over

You don’t bring your troubles to work

You don’t take them out on your family

You don’t use them as excuses to skip workouts

you deal with your issues privately, away from the public eye and without dragging others into your issues unnecessarily

Responsibilities require resilience

You see them through regardless of what’s going on in your head, heart or private life

[ابن خليل @ibnkhleel]

Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone more lost or restless than a religious person when they slip up or go through a phase of spiritual weakness.

Even if they had the whole world in their hands, they still wouldn’t feel real happiness or peace.

It just shows that nothing in this world can match the peace that comes from being close to Allah.

Islam Makhachev on how he’s going to raise his kids:

“I’ll be just as strict with my kids as my father was with me. Nowadays these psychologists say you shouldn’t yell at a kid. That you can’t slap them on the backside. They say it damages their psyche.

Are Khabib and I psychologically damaged? Both our fathers were very strict. It’s the other way around.”

Bikinis are soft core porn.

The inventor of the bikini, Louis Réard, couldn’t get any self respecting woman to model it for him, so the first woman to model the bikini was a stripper named Micheline Bernardini.

They were also illegal to wear in public until the 1960’s, because they were indecent.

These laws were good and right and we should do our best to reinstate them.
