🛑Friends influence one another with regard to attitude and manners, and the one with the stronger character will have a greater impact on the one with the weaker character. Therefore Islam urges us to keep company with righteous people, and warns against keeping company with evil people.

It was narrated from Abu Musa al-Ash`ari (ra) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The likeness of a good companion and a bad companion is that of one who carries musk and one who works the bellows. With the carrier of musk, either he will give you some or you will buy some from him, or you will notice a good smell from him; as for the one who works the bellows, either he will burn your clothes or you will notice a bad smell from him.” [Narrated by al-Bukhari, 5534; Muslim, 2628].

Al-Qadi `Iyyad (ra) said: This indicates that one should avoid mixing with bad people and avoid sitting with evil people, innovators and backbiters, because all of these people will have an influence on the one who mixes with them. And Islam urges us to mix with righteous people and acquire knowledge, good manners, good attitudes and praiseworthy characteristics from them.

[End quote from Ikmal al-Mu`allim, 8/108]

الأصحاب يؤثر بعضهم في أخلاق بعض، والقوي يسحب الضعيف إلى طباعه، فلهذا حث الشرع على ملازمة صحبة أهل التقوى وحذر من صحبة أهل السوء.

عن أَبِي مُوسَى الأشعري رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَ��َيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : ( مَثَلُ الجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالسَّوْءِ، كَحَامِلِ المِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الكِيرِ، فَحَامِلُ المِسْكِ : إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً، وَنَافِخُ الكِيرِ : إِمَّا أَنْ يَحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً ) رواه البخاري (5534) ومسلم (2628) .

قال القاضي عياض رحمه الله تعالى: " فيه تجنب خلطاء السوء ومجالسة الأشرار وأهل البدع والمغتابين للناس؛ لأن جميع هؤلاء ينفذ أثرهم إلى جليسهم، والحض على مجالسة أهل الخير وتلقى العلم والأدب، وحسن الهدى والأخلاق الحميدة " انتهى من " اكمال المعلم" (8 / 108).

✅The role of a true (rabbani) scholar is to devote his life to spreading what he has of knowledge that Allah has enabled him to acquire, and teach what he knows to the people, take care of them, educate them and reform their attitude on the basis of that.

In addition to that, and perhaps more importantly than that, his role is to set an example of how to put the knowledge that Allah has enabled him to acquire into practice, to the extent that the people will see in him a real-life embodiment of the knowledge that they are learning.

🛑What did Ibn Kathir (ra) say about Bidah (innovated action in Islam)?

✅Ibn Kathir (ra) said: “Ahl As-Sunnah wal-Jama‘ah consider any action or word that is not proven from the Companions to be an innovation (Bid`ah), because if it were something good, they would have done it before us. They did not omit any good attribute but they hastened to do it or attain it.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 7/278-279)

قال الحافظ ابن كثير رحمه الله: " أهل السنة والجماعة يقولون في كل فعل وقول لم يثبت عن الصحابة: هو بدعة؛ لأنه لو كان خيرا لسبقونا إليه، لأنهم لم يتركوا خصلة من خصال الخير إلا وقد بادروا إليها. " انتهى من "تفسير ابن كثير".

🛑Regarding Musical Instruments:

“Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (ra) said: The view of the four Imams is that all kinds of musical instruments are haram. It was reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and elsewhere that the Prophet (ﷺ) said that there would be among his ummah those who would allow zina, silk, alcohol and musical instruments, and he said that they would be transformed into monkeys and pigs… None of the followers of the imams mentioned any dispute concerning the matter of music. (al-Majmu’, 11/576).

قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله : " مذهب الأئمة الأربعة أن آلات اللهو كلها حرام ، ثبت في صحيح البخاري وغيره أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أخبر أنه سيكون من أمته من يستحل الحر والحرير والخمر والمعازف ، وذكر أنهم يمسخون قردة وخنازير ، .. ولم يذكر أحد من أتباع الأئمة في آلات اللهو نزاعا" (المجموع 11/576) ”

🛑Do you wish to increase your provisions (rizq)? There are some means of increasing rizq that are prescribed in Islam. These include:

𝟏) 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐟𝐚𝐫 (𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬): Allah, may He be exalted, says: “I said (to them): Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance; And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” [Nuh 71:10-12]

𝟐) 𝐔𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Al-Bukhari (2067) and Muslim (2557) narrated from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever would like his provision to be increased and his life to be extended , should uphold the ties of kinship.” An-Nawawi said: “The term ‘His provision to be increased’ means to be expanded and made abundant or, it was said, to be blessed (Barakah).”

𝟑) ���𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐞��𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: Allah, may He be Exalted, says: “Say: Truly, my Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills of His slaves, and (also) restricts (it) for him, and whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allah’s Cause), He will replace it. And He is the Best of providers.” [Saba’ 34:39]

Muslim (2588) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Charity does not decrease wealth.” An-Nawawi said: “The scholars mentioned two meanings of this Hadith, one of which is that (the wealth) will be blessed (as a result of giving charity ) and harm will be warded off from it, so the apparent decrease will be compensated for by means of hidden blessing. This is something that is well known from experience. The second is that even if it appears to be decreased outwardly, there will be compensation for that in the reward that result from it, and it will be increased manifold.”

𝟒) 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥 ��𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐦: Allah, may He be exalted, says: “And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine.” [At-Talaq 65:2-3]

𝟓) 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐚𝐣𝐣 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧, following one with the other: At-Tirmidhi (810) narrated that Abdullah ibn Masud said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Make the Hajj and `Umrah follow each other closely, for they remove poverty and sins as the bellows removes the dross of iron, gold and silver, and an accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise.” (It was classed as authentic by Al-Albani)

𝟔) 𝐃𝐮𝐚 (𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧): It was narrated by Ibn Majah (925) from Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say, after he said the Salam at the end of Fajr prayer: “Allahumma inni as’aluka `ilman nafi`an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa `amalan mutaqabbalan (O Allah, I ask you for beneficial knowledge, good (lawful) provision, and accepted good deeds).” (Classed as authentic by Al-Albani in Sahih Ibn Majah)

If you knew how quickly people forget you after your death, you will never live a life to please anyone except Allah Almighty!

[Sunnah Web @sunnahweb101]

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The upper hand is better than the lower hand.” The upper hand is the one that gives, while the lower hand is the one that receives.

Islam promotes dignity, hard work, and self-reliance. A believer should strive to work, earn a lawful livelihood, and aim to be among those who support others rather than rely on them. If someone is genuinely in difficulty, seeking assistance is allowed and there is no blame in real need.

However, asking, demanding, or putting pressure on people while one is able to work is not in accordance with the Sunnah.

Turn to Allah first. Use the lawful means available to you. Protect your dignity.

🌿 Your Children Are Either Your Sadaqah… Or Your Trial

Raising children is not easy. It is tiring, emotionally heavy, and sometimes heartbreaking. Many parents suffer deep pain because of the behavior of their own children.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله explains a profound reality: “Whoever neglects teaching his child what benefits him and leaves him without guidance has done him the worst possible injustice. And most children are corrupted because of their parents — due to neglect and failure to teach them the obligations of the religion.” (Tuhfat al-Mawdud bi Aḥkam al-Mawlud)

“They ruined them when they were young, so they neither benefited themselves when grown, nor benefited their parents.” (Tuhfat al-Mawdud)

⚖️ Example of Two Fathers:

When Maqatil bin Sulayman was asked to advise Amir al-Muminin Mansur, He said:

“Listen, O Commander of the Faithful! ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz had eleven sons, and he left behind only eighteen dinars. Of these, five dinars were used for his shroud and four dinars to purchase his grave, and the rest were given among his sons. And Hisham ibn ʿAbd al-Malik also had eleven boys — when he died, he left ten lakh (1,000,000) dinars for each boy.

By Allah, O Commander of the Faithful, I saw one son of ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz giving 100 horses in charity for the sake of Allah, and I saw a son of Ḥisham begging in the marketplaces.” (Narrated in historical works of Zuhd and Tārikh)

🕊️ What Did ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz Leave for His Children?

He said: “I left for them the taqwa (fear) of Allah. If they are righteous, then Allah takes care of the righteous. And if they are not, I do not want to leave them wealth by which they disobey Allah.” (Reported in books of Siyar and Zuhd)

🤲 Make This Dua Daily:

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
“Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and our children comfort of the eyes and make us leaders of the righteous.” (Qur’ān 25:74)

✅Remember, children are not fixed by money. They are fixed by dua, taqwa, and parents returning to Allah.

🛑 Imam Ahmed (ra) Regarding Music:-
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: With regard to the view of Imam Ahmed, his son ‘Abd-Allah said: "I asked my father about singing. He said: Singing makes hypocrisy grow in the heart; I do not like it. Then he mentioned the words of Malik: the evildoers (fasiqs) among us do that". [Ighathat al-Lahfan]

قال ابن القيم رحمه الله : " وأما م��هب الإمام أحمد فقال عبد الله ابنه : سألت أبي عن الغناء فقال : الغناء ينبت النفاق بالقلب ، لا يعجبني ، ثم ذكر قول مالك : إنما يفعله عندنا الفساق" [إغاثة اللهفان]

🛑Imam Malik (ra) Regarding Music:-
Imam Malik was asked about playing the drum or flute, if a person happens to hear the sound and enjoy it whilst he is walking or sitting. He said: "He should get up if he finds that he enjoys it, unless he is sitting down for a need or is unable to get up. If he is on the road, he should either go back or move on". [al-Jami’ by al-Qayrawani, 262]. He said: “The only people who do things like that (that is enjoy music), in our view, are fasiqs.” [Tafsir al-Qurtubi, 14/55]

وسئل الإمام مالك رحمه الله عن ضرب الطبل والمزمار ، ينالك سماعه وتجد له لذة في طريق أو مجلس ؟ قال : فليقم إذا التذ لذلك ، إلا أن يكون جلس لحاجة ، أو لا يقدر أن يقوم ، وأما الطريق فليرجع أو يتقدم . [ الجامع للقيرواني 262] ، وقال رحمه الله : إنما يفعله عندنا الفساق [ تفسير القرطبي 14/55]

🛑Abu Hanifah (ra) Regarding MUSIC:

Ibn al-Qayyim said: "The madhhab of Abu Hanifah is the strictest in this regard, and his comments are among the harshest. His companions clearly stated that it is haram to listen to all musical instruments such as the flute and the drum, even tapping a stick. They stated that it is a sin which implies that a person is a fasiq (rebellious evil doer) whose testimony should be rejected. They went further than that and said that listening to music is fisq (rebellion, evildoing) and enjoying it is kufr (disbelief). These are their words...". [Ighathat al-Lahfan, 1/425]

قال ابن القيم رحمه الله : "مذهب أبي حنيفة في ذلك من أشد المذاهب ، وقوله فيه من أغلظ الأقوال ، وقد صرح أصحابه بتحريم سماع الملاهي كلها كالمزمار والدف ، حتى الضرب بالقضيب ، وصرحوا بأنه معصية يوجب الفسق وترد بها الشهادة ، وأبلغ من ذلك أنهم قالوا : أن السماع فسق والتلذذ به كفر ، هذا لفظهم ،.."

💔Life is short and unpredictable.

In just a blink, everything can change.
A life can be gone, and we are left holding memories, silence, and regrets.

None of us truly knows what tomorrow carries. And that is exactly why we must learn to release ego, anger, and misunderstandings. The small issues we cling to—between family, friends, or colleagues—are never worth the pain they create.

There is no problem that cannot be solved with a calm mind and a sincere conversation. Most conflicts fade away the moment we sit together, speak gently, and try to understand the heart of the other person.

Life is too short for grudges.
Too short for creating distances between loved ones.
Too short to carry anger when a simple “I’m sorry” could bring peace.

Let us value the people around us while we still have them.
Let us speak kindly, forgive quickly, and mend what is broken whenever possible.
Because at the end of the day, nothing holds more weight than the relationships we nurture.

✅The Prophet ﷺ said: “The gates of Paradise are opened on Mondays and Thursdays, and Allah forgives every servant who does not associate anything with Him— except the one who has a grudge against his brother. It is said: Delay these two until they make peace.” (Sahih Muslim)

✅The Prophet ﷺ said: “Do not hate one another, do not envy one another, do not turn your backs on one another, but be servants of Allah as brothers. It is not lawful for a Muslim to forsake his brother for more than three days.” (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

Cherish your loved ones.
Tomorrow is never promised.
