The more you learn, the more you realize you know almost nothing. Even much of what you think you know—you don’t know as you think you do. And the more you’ll revere the scholars, past and present. Only a fool could be impressed with himself in their shadow.
REMINDER: Observing the "Islamic New Year" with special supplications, congratulations, or the likes of what the non-Muslims do of resolutions, repentance, and the feeling of a "fresh start", etc. is all BID'AH (blameworthy innovation), unknown to the noble companions who were far better role models of repentance & rectification than those who add things into Allah's perfect religion today.
Remember the constant reminder of our Prophet (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace):
كل بدعة ضلالة وكل ضلالة في النار
"Every bid'ah is misguidance; all misguidance leads to Hell."
May Allah make us from the best of His worshippers in holding to the Sunnah of His Prophet & in shunning innovations added into His religion.

Gratitude brings about an increase in blessings, while seeking forgiveness repels afflictions and calamities.

"Spend and Don't Count" - A Beautiful Hadith on Generosity
Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr said: The Prophet ﷺ told me:
"Spend, and do not count, lest Allāh count against you; and do not hoard, lest Allāh withhold from you."
[Agreed upon - al-Bukhārī and Muslim]
What Do These Words Mean?
"Do not count" - Don't keep track of every penny you give. If you start tallying it up, it might feel like a lot and you'll stop giving. If you don't count what you give, Allāh won't "count" what He gives you either.
"Do not hoard" - Don't stash your money away out of fear that it will run out.
"Do not tie up" - Don't keep your purse strings tightly shut. Let wealth flow out of your hands freely.
The Lesson
The scholars said: this hadith is encouraging us to give generously and warning us against holding on to wealth too tightly - because that is one of the biggest reasons blessings dry up.
The simple principle is: the less you obsess over what you give, the more Allāh will give you back. Whoever trusts that Allāh is his Provider should give freely without overthinking it.
And charity doesn't shrink your wealth - it grows it. But whoever is stingy, counts every dirham, and hoards what he has, Allāh will withhold His blessing from that wealth.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:
همة ترقيه وعلم يبصره ويهديه
“The completion of a person is only attained through these two qualities:
Determination that advances and elevates him.
Knowledge that gives him insight and guides him.”
Miftah Dar Al-Sa’ādah (1/125)
Don't complain about gas prices!
A brother in Ethiopia just told me that they currently wait hours or even days for gas. Yes, sleeping in vehicles overnight in line to get gas.
And of course its not cheap either!
Consider those in more difficult situations than you & be grateful!
May Allah grant us all ease & not make these worldly matters our biggest concerns!
نعيش في دولة الإمارات بنعمة من الله وفضل، ثم بقيادة راشدة، وحكام أمناء، ثم برجال أمنٍ سهروا لننام، وتيقظوا لنطمئن، وبذلوا أعمارهم درعًا يحمي الديار والعباد.
فليس الأمن صدفة، ولا الاستقرار عارضًا؛ بل هو ثمرةُ توفيق الله لعيونٍ لا تنام، وعقولٍ لا تغفل، وقلوبٍ صدقت في الحماية والرعاية.
حفظ الله الإمارات، وأدام عليها نعمة الأمن، وجزى رجالها خيرا.
