Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.
Our venerable Shaykh and father, who had great virtue over the people, His Eminence Shaykh ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh Āl al-Shaykh, the Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has passed away.
O Allah, forgive Shaykh ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz, raise his rank among the rightly guided, grant good succession among his descendants, forgive us and him, O Lord of the worlds, expand his grave for him and fill it with light.
When you wake up, don't immediately use your phone. Drink water and make wudhu. Pray for fajr no matter how unintentionally late you were. Then sit on your prayer mat after salah and make a lot of dua. Read the Qur-an for at least 10 minutes. Do these every morning, and you will be mentally, physically, and spiritually lively, healthy, and happy, Insha'Allah. May Allah help us eradicate our laziness.
Ameen.
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
One of the righteous women used to pray the night prayer a lot. She was asked about that, so she said:
"Indeed, the night prayer beautifies the face. And I would like my face to be beautified.
📚 Rawdhat ul-Muhibbeen, 1/321
Imam al-Qurtubi رحمه الله said:
"A person should be gentle when he speaks to people and maintain a cheerful face with both the pious and the impious."
[Tafsir al-Qurtubi, 2 :38 ]
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
“Always keep yourself optimistic, for whatever Allah Wills will happen. Be joyful, cheerful, and open-hearted, for the world ahead of you is vast, and the path is open. This is what is good.”
[Sharh Riyadh al-Saliheen 4/87]
The daughter of Abdullah Ibn Masud رضي الله عنه approached him and she was still a young girl. He then hugged her tightly, and said to her:
Welcome, O my shield from the fire.
[مكارم الأخلاق 634]
Imam al-Qurtubi رحمه الله said:
Shyness lies in the eyes. The girl who stares at men and distributes her glances to the passerby, will lose something of her beauty.

The Salaf were with the Qurʾān the way we are with our phones today, always connected, always engaged.
Imagine checking the Qur’ān as often as you check your notifications, You unlock your phone 100 times a day…
But how often do you open Kitābullāh?
O heedless one, Wake up!
Oh Allah, be with every child in Gaza who wakes up to destruction and sleeps in fear. Fill their hearts with hope, and write for them a future filled with safety, love, and light. Grant them strength, resilience, and the comfort of knowing they are not forgotten, never alone.
Ibn Hajar said:
“Among the miracles of the Qur’an is that the one who recites it never tires of repeating it, and the one who listens to it never finds it distasteful. In fact, with frequent repetition, it only increases in freshness and sweetness.”
[Fath al-Bari 9/7]
Lower your gaze, not just from the opposite gender but also Lower your gaze from the faults of others.
Lower your gaze from that which does not concern you.
Lower your gaze from that which people want hidden.
Lower your gaze from that which makes you angry.
