I hope you prayed Raka'atanul Fajr,
If you couldn't, then pray Salatul Duha.
If you couldn't, then pray the four rak'ahs before Zuhr.
If you couldn't, then pray the two rak'ahs after Zuhr.
If you couldn't, then pray the two rak'ahs after Maghrib.
If you couldn't, then pray the two rak'ahs after Isha.
If you couldn't, then pray shafai and witr.
If you couldn't, then wake up at night and pray at least two rak'ah of Tahajjud.
If you couldn't, then pray at least one rak'ah of witr.
If you can't, then fast on Mondays and Thursdays.
If you can't, then fast only Mondays, or only Thursdays.
If you can't, then frequently give out in charity.
If you can, then do all.
Just don't let a day go by without doing a voluntary act of worship.
-If your strength is in Nawafil prayers, then hold onto it while learning to adopt other voluntary acts of worship.
-If your strength is in voluntary fasting, then hold onto it while learning to adopt other voluntary acts of worship.
-If your strength is in spending in charity, then hold onto it while learning to adopt other voluntary acts of worship.
May Allah grant us the strength and willingness to be able to do more acts of worship for His sake.
May Allah bring us closer to Him.
May Allah heal what is broken in us, grant our silent wishes, and make them khair for us.
May Allah have mercy on the deceased Muslims and make Jannah our final destination without reckoning.
May Allah reward our parents with goodness and bless them with good health and prosperity.
May Allah provide the unmarried ones with the best of spouses and make them excellent for each other.
May Allah provide the childless with children that will be blessings to both them and the entire Ummah.
And to you reading this, may Allah bless you with the best of both worlds... 🤲
Point of correction, we Muslims don’t pray because of worldly needs alone. And asking what a billionaire is still praying for shows a big misunderstanding of what prayer means in Islam. Salah is about submission, gratitude, and acknowledging our status as servants of the Almighty.
Wealth cannot not buy you a pass out of your obligations to the Creator. A rich man needs forgiveness, peace of mind, good health, and a favorable standing in the hereafter just like anyone else.
On that prayer mat, your net worth is zero. In fact, some of the ordinary persons behind him, might hold a higher status in the sight of the Almighty.
So, Dangote is sitting there as a servant of Allah fulfilling his ultimate purpose of why he is on earth in the first place.
Allah knows best.
The first time I experienced cherry blossom season in Korea, I finally understood the hype. Parks, streets, and campuses suddenly look completely different for a short period of time.
Everyone goes outside to take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere before the flowers disappear again. It feels peaceful and exciting at the same time.
What should I do during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah?

How I Make Dry Pap Without a Dehydrator or Oven, (i mean no gas and no electricity just the natural way)
This post is for those who keep asking how to preserve pap without a freezer or fridge, and for those who don’t have constant light in their area. This method is very simple and affordable
Step 1: Prepare the pap (the normal way)
Soak your grains for 3 days to ferment.
Grind and filter.
Allow it to settle, then transfer into pap bags.
Place heavy objects on top to drain out excess water.
You can use any pap combination you like: Single grain, Two grains, Three or more grains
I personally used my fortified pap recipe, which I’ve already shared in the post below.
Step 2: Cut and sun-dry
Once the pap is well drained (as shown in the picture), cut the wet pap into smaller pieces.
Arrange them on a clean trays. Take the trays outside to sun-dry….. cover with net to prevent flys, you can use the net you use in filtering the pap.
NOTE: Do not place trays on bare ground.
Raise them on a table, stool, bricks, or rack to prevent dust, sand, insects, or dirt from entering.
Step 3: Dry completely
Turn the pap pieces occasionally for even drying.
Dry until the pap is stone-dry and hard.
Mine took 2 full days to dry completely under the sun.
Step 4: Grind the dried pap into smooth powder using a commercial engine or grinder.
Allow the pap powder to cool completely before packaging.
Step 5: Package in airtight containers or sealed nylon and Store
This method helps you:
Preserve pap without electricity
Reduce waste
Produce pap that lasts longer
Make pap in bulk for home or business
With this method, you can easily prepare pap for babies without needing a freezer, fridge, or electricity ⚡️. Just reconstitute with clean water and cook fresh whenever needed
I hope this helps someone today 🥰

A friend of mine lost someone very close to her yesterday.
She told me they buried her the same day, according to Islamic rites.
When she came back, she couldn’t keep quiet…
She sat down and started telling me everything.
She said when they lowered her friend into the grave, nothing went with him.
Not even a pin.
She was placed on her right side, inside a narrow space… so tight, no extra inch.
My friend said as they covered her with planks and the first sand touched it, something hit her deeply.
She stood there watching…
Sand after sand…
The grave getting darker…
Yet her friend did not move.
Did not speak.
Did not complain.
“That was when it dawned on me,” she said,
“That this is truly the end of this life.”
She told me his heart was heavy, but instead of crying, his mind was questioning everything.
“If this is how we all end,” she asked me,
“why are we chasing what we cannot take with us?”
“Why hurting people?”
“Why doing wrong just to make money?”
“Why living like this world is forever?”
Then she said something that I cannot forget:
“As we were leaving, they told us to dig another grave… to replace the one we just used.”
She paused… then looked at me and said,
“That grave is already waiting…
And the person that will enter it is somewhere on this earth right now — walking, laughing, planning… not knowing their place is ready.”
Since she told me this, I have not been the same.
Indeed… every soul shall taste death.
So before that moment comes,
return to your Creator.may Allah forgive all the departed Muslim and may we end well
Islam is the first & only religion that gave women the right to keep their own name after marriage. No forced surname.
Islam honored mothers 3 times before fathers: “Your mother, your mother, your mother, then your father.” Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Yet people call Islam misogynistic
Please read for yourselves before repeating lies
Just Imagine a woman with bilateral cuts on both sides after childbirth.
She lay under the needle for over 40 minutes, getting stitched up because both sides had to be repaired.
I was there the entire time.
Blood everywhere. Pain everywhere. Tears everywhere.
She held my hands so tight from the pain that I completely lost feeling in my fingers.
And then some f$$lish man will still open his mouth to ask: “What do women even bring to the table?”
OR say nonsense like: “It’s not manly for a man to help his wife with chores meant for women.”
After watching a woman tear her body open to bring life; after seeing pain you can’t Google, read, or imagine….any man who still thinks love, care, and partnership reduce his masculinity is a certified Ode!
If this experience doesn’t humble you as a man, NOTHING EVER WILL (not even the death of a loved one).
PARACETAMOL vs IBUPROFEN vs DICLOFENAC
9 times out of 10, people completely abuse OTC medications.
From taking 4 tablets of paracetamol at once, to mixing ibuprofen and Diclofenac like it’s normal 🤦🏼♀️
How do we fix this?
What are the consequences of abuse?👇🏻
NEVER USE A PUFFY TOMATO PASTE!!!
Read this and share 🙏🙏
Have you ever seen a sachet of tomato paste swelling and looking puffy just like this in the picture ?
One thing you must understand that, it contains toxins which are harmful and should never be consumed.
