[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

QalbFeed is run by Muslims, for Muslims.

Reminders for ourselves first, shared in the hope that they benefit you too.

Feed your qalb, not just your feed.

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“Free your tongue so that it may engage in the remembrance of Allah. But if you cannot do that, then at least restrain it from backbiting.”

Leaving a haram relationship may hurt, but staying in it won’t bring you closer to Allah.

Never be afraid to give something up for His sake. He can replace it with something better and provide for you from where you never expected.

Qur’an 65:2–3

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@dabke036 @Subhi4073568451 @AnalyticalTaymi Then be consistent and call Ibn Taymiyyah a mubtadiʿ for deviating from the majority of Ahl al-Sunnah on a matter of ʿaqīdah. If you apply that label to the Ashʿarīs and Māturīdīs, why should he be exempt?

[Mohammed Hijab @mohammed_hijab]

@IbnalIskandar Did Prophet Yusuf AS become an apostate when he joined the non-Muslim government of the King mentioned in the Quran ?

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

He did affirm the eternity of Hell in several writings. But that doesn't erase his later work, Fanāʾ al-Nār, written during his final imprisonment, where he argued in favour of Hell eventually ceasing to exist.

The question isn't whether he ever affirmed its eternity, but whether he maintained that position until his death.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

That's a false dichotomy. The Ashʿaris and Maturidis used reason to defend revelation, not replace it. Simply claiming that Ibn Taymiyyah followed the Salaf doesn't prove his position was correct. Allah explicitly states that the inhabitants of Hell will abide therein forever (Qur'an 4:169). So where is your evidence that his interpretation represents the consensus of the Salaf?

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

The Arabic word khāliq can also refer to someone who shapes or fashions something from existing materials.

Humans can create things in that sense, but they cannot bring something into existence from nothing.

Allah alone creates in the absolute sense. That is why He is called “the best of creators” (Qur’an 23:14).

How many other creators can bring something into existence from nothing? Not a single one.

The word you’re looking for is Al-Badīʿ (ٱلْبَدِيع), the Originator.

Humans create from what already exists. Allah creates without any pre-existing material or model.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

Allah isn't comparing Himself to humans. He's reminding us that no matter how carefully we plan, nothing happens unless He wills it.

For example, you can plan a journey down to the smallest detail, but if Allah wills otherwise, your plans won't succeed. The point isn't comparison, but that Allah's will is above ours.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@Subhi4073568451 @AnalyticalTaymi Having narrations doesn't automatically make an interpretation correct. This is a matter of ʿaqīdah in which he departed from the overwhelming majority of the Ummah. Why is he given a pass for that, while other scholars are criticized for much less?

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@Hadithoftheday Allah doesn't just tell us to be grateful. He promises to give us more.

Repost and recite

“If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor].”

— Qur’an 14:7

Sometimes, the key to receiving more is appreciating what you already have.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@AlMosahf “Tie your camel and put your trust in Allah.”

— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

@poco4loco @AllahGreatQuran Everyone

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@poco4loco @AllahGreatQuran It’s not a direct quote from the Qur’an. But Allah says in 8:30 that He is the best of planners, and in 2:216 that Allah knows while we do not. That’s the meaning behind the post, not His exact words.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

You don’t need another Islamic reminder.

You need to act on the ones you’ve already saved.

And I’m reminding myself before anyone else.

May Allah make us among those who practice what they preach.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

Went looking for an empty room to pray at uni today.

Walked in, saw this on the floor, and instantly knew which way the Qiblah was.

Looks like another Muslim had the same idea before me 😂

Alhamdulillah.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@Al__Quraan Ameen. May Allah never let the blessings of this dunya make us forget our purpose in the akhirah.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@Al__Quraan Ameen. Forgiveness doesn't mean giving someone permission to hurt you again. Even a kind heart needs boundaries.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@aiishadahir And knowing this should bring so much peace to our hearts. Do your part, trust Allah, and stop fearing what people can take away from you.

[QalbFeed @QalbFeed]

@Al__Quraan It’s hard to let go of something you made so much du’a for. May Allah give us the patience to move forward, even before we understand why it didn’t work out.
