Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun, I lost my mother yesterday Friday 18th October 2024.
Indeed to Allah (SWT) belongs what He takes & to Him belongs what He gives & there is a set time by Him for everything.
May Allah in his infinite mercy forgive and grant her Al-JannatulFirdaus
No one will know what you’re truly experiencing. Your situation and the depths of pain. No one can possibly know or understand except Allah. He knows your pain. He is always there, reaching out to pull you out of the pit of despair.
The loss of a child is painful..but knowing your 2 year old is alive and in the hands of heartless bastards is even more painful. It’s the raining season and they’re in the bushes,with or without food,where do they sleep. Hasbunallah wa ni’imal wakeel. Allah ya wadatar mana 🥹
If someone's sins or a difficult experience become public and our first reaction is to mock them or use it to feel superior, then perhaps we need humility. Today it is them; tomorrow it could be us. Humans make mistakes, and if Allah wills, they will learn and grow.
A very scary Hadīth that all of us must internalise:
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Whoever has wronged his brother in regard to his honor or anything else should seek his forgiveness today, before there will be neither dinar nor dirham. If he has good deeds, some of them will be taken from him in proportion to the wrong he committed. And if he has no good deeds, some of the sins of the one he wronged will be taken and placed upon him.”
— al-Bukhari
It’s fascinating how something can enter your life without permission. You didn’t expect it, but somehow it arrives as a delight. For a while, it feels like a gift. Then, slowly, the wonder fades. What once made your heart rise begins to feel ordinary, almost invisible.
Or perhaps you lose it.
And suddenly, you’re wounded by its absence, even though you have no less than what you began with. You were whole before it came, yet its departure makes you feel diminished.
That is the illusion of this dunya.
It deludes your heart into depending on what was always passing. A blessing comes into your life, and very quickly, it stops feeling like a gift and starts feeling like something you’re owed.
That is the deception of this dunya, we forget what it is: something worthless, too insignificant to please the soul, though we keep expecting it to.
So when Allah takes something away, you may experience pain, but there is a hidden blessing.
It teaches that whatever can leave you never deserved your heart, and by removing it Allah, in His mercy, reorients us back to Him again.
Pardon me, but this is one of the wisdoms behind why Islam is so strict regarding walā and attachment. People often underestimate what love, reverence, admiration, and loyalty can make a human being do.
The remarkable thing about the team goes merely beyond the tactics, because obviously, sitting beneath those tactics is so much affection, trust, reverence, and an almost unquestioning willingness to sacrifice for a person they believe in. Once the heart settles upon someone with sufficient admiration, actions that once seemed burdensome begin to feel natural.
This is also why īmān precedes and sustains ibādah. Islam does not begin by demanding worship from you before introducing you to The One being worshipped. It repeatedly calls you to know Allah: His Names, His Attributes, His Power, His Mercy, His Wisdom, His Knowledge of every affair concerning you.
When a servant truly knows Allah (or even anyone they love so much enough), ‘worshipping’ them ceases to feel like a collection of movements and restrictions. And this is because reverence gives birth to love, and love gives birth to willingness, and willingness gives birth to obedience. The limbs merely follow where the heart has already gone. Tawheed, then, is not simply a theological doctrine—that's too limited. It is the foundation upon which every act of worship stands. The stronger one's knowledge of Allah is, the stronger one's attachment to Him is; and the stronger one's attachment to Him is, the easier obedience becomes is.
Perhaps this is why the soul continues to wander through sins, distractions, achievements, pleasures, and every other substitute it can find, yet still senses an absence within itself. There is a space in the heart that was profoundly fashioned for the remembrance of Allah. Nothing occupies it quite like dhikr, and nothing settles it quite like nearness to Him.
May Allah grant us closeness to Him.
Please retweet, it serves as help too.
Alhamdulilah.
Though her delivery came with complications, she was discharged yesterday after spending several days in the hospital.
We have cleared all her medical bills, including the CS, which totalled ₦350,000.
However, the mother and her newborn are still in dire need of support.
They currently have no food, baby clothes, or other basic necessities.
The mother is asthmatic and has a heart condition. She was running a small business, but she exhausted her capital while trying to manage this situation.
Please, any contribution will go a long way. Your ₦100 or ₦200 can make a real difference. No amount is too small.
Thank you so much.

My young Muslim brother,
There is no Fitnah more dangerous to men than the Fitnah of women, and in our time its severity has multiplied beyond measure.
So beware of it with the absolute utmost caution.
Lower your gaze, protect your thoughts, and distance yourself from the places and causes that awaken temptation.
If الله opens the door of marriage for you, even if you are at the very start of your youth, then hasten to it, if not, then hold fast to fasting, as our Prophet ﷺ instructed.
By الله, my brother, if you don't avoid this fitnah and instead open the door to it, it'll not stop at a glance or a moment of desire.
It'll consume your Deen and dunya.
It'll drag you into the slavery of your own desires until your dignity is diminished, your resolve weakened, your ambition destroyed, and your youth slips away while you chase one craving after another.
The one who cannot control his desires becomes controlled by them.
So take hold of yourself before your desires take hold of you.
Fight your nafs, Discipline it, and seek الله's help constantly.
Fill your time with what benefits you in your Deen and dunya, keep yourself busy with Ilm, worship, beneficial goals, and righteous company.
Don't leave empty doors through which Shaytan may enter.
I ask الله to grant us and you chastity, taqwa, protection, and steadfastness.
I ask Him to bless you with righteous wives who help you upon His obedience.
I ask Him to open for you the doors of rizq and barakah, to make the dunya come to you humbled rather than making you run after it, to make His pleasure your greatest concern, to suffice you regarding the affairs of this dunya, and to keep your heart attached to the Hereafter until you meet Him.
