“Indeed, Allah lets go astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns to Him. Those who believe and whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah. Surely, it is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts find rest.”
— Surah Ar-Ra'd [13:27–28]
'If you are grateful, I will surely bestow more favours on you; but if you are ungrateful, then know that My punishment is severe indeed.'
Q14 (Ibrahim): Verse 7
keep your tongue busy with dhikr, especially during the moments when you're waiting. waiting for your food, your ride, your appointment, or your turn can all become moments of worship.
We work hard to hoard things in this life.
The irony is that when we die, we won’t take anything with us except that which we had given!
Though charity seems to be for the poor, in reality it is for us.
A good word may please those whom we said it to, but it is actually for us as well.
When we mend a broken heart and make them feel better, we are benefiting ourselves.
Those who work relentlessly to serve others and give them a helping hand, they are making their affairs easy on the Day of Judgment.
Allah says:”If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to them [i.e., yourselves]." 17:7
This is Sheikh Farouk Ramadan.
Yesterday afternoon, he and his family were attacked by settler-terrorists on their own land. Farouk managed to disarm one of the attackers. He took the settler's rifle and shot and killed two terrorists in a clear act of self-defence.
In response, Israeli soldiers murdered him and three of his family members. Israeli government and media portrays him as the terrorist, and the actual terrorists as the victims.
Don't let them push this narrative. Farouk had the full legal and moral right to resist against the genocidal terrorists who invaded his land.
Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. And the disbelievers become prideful of the pleasures of this worldly life. But the life of this world, compared to the Hereafter, is nothing but a fleeting enjoyment.
Q13 (Ar-Rad): Verse 26
O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and fairest resolution.
Q4 (An-Nisa): Verse 59
trust Allah completely, and watch Him provide for you from sources you never imagined, unexpected doors, hidden opportunities leave you in awe, tawakkul is the key
Whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam. But whoever He wills to leave astray, He makes their chest tight and constricted as if they were climbing up into the sky.
Q6 (al-An'am): Verse 125
