*The Prophet ﷺ said:*
If anyone says after each obligatory Salah
SubhanAllah × 33 — “Glory be to Allah.”
Alhamdulillah × 33 — “All praise is for Allah.”
Allahu Akbar × 33 — “Allah is the Greatest.”
and says to complete a hundred:
Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamd, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shay’in qadīr x 1 –There is no deity except Allah, Alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him is all praise, and He is over everything powerful
his sins will be forgiven even If these are as abundant as the foam of the sea
📚 Sahih Muslim 597a
Are you always unhappy & discontented? If you are, check for these symptoms. Are you always criticising others; quick to condemn people or comparing yourself with others? Quit all that & feel the difference.
Don’t worry about being popular and loved by the masses. If you choose to get closer to the Almighty and live a life of obedience, you’ll find yourself walking alone mostly. It may seem daunting and frightening at times. But don’t worry. He’s your Guide and Protector.
Let’s be honest. You were waiting for that apology. It never came. Don’t be upset. Don’t focus on it. Let it go. Don’t let it consume you. Let the Almighty take care of things. Healing begins when you can accept that and move on with peace in your heart.
For every pain you endure,
For every fear that grips your heart,
For every worry that keeps you awake at night,
For every loss that you grieve over,
For anything & everything that you can’t handle, leave it to the Lord of the Worlds. He’s the best disposer of our affairs.
Almighty. Grant us Your Mercy, relieve our fears & anxieties, remove our distress & let peace reign in our hearts. Bestow upon those suffering, patience & wisdom. May You always be our guiding light and the beacon of hope in our lives. Aameen.
Do your deeds sincerely for the Sake of Almighty Allah. He will reward you. No matter how small it is. Repent sincerely for your misdeeds and He will forgive you. That’s how Merciful He is.
Take heed when the Almighty exposes someone’s intention towards you. He has done it for a reason. Some will act like they care about you but behind your back, it’s a different story. They may even speak ill of you. But don’t worry. The truth will always come out.
Anas b. Malik (RA) reported: The Paradise is surrounded by hardships and the Hell-Fire is surrounded by temptations.
(Sahih Muslim Book 40, Hadith 6778)
Almighty. Keep us steadfast, enduring the trials You send our way. Grant us a soft heart, always content with Your Decree. Grant us sincerity, success & protect us from harm. Aameen
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When anyone of you performs ablution and does it well, then he comes to the mosque for no other purpose than prayer, he does not take one step but Allah will raise him one degree (in status) thereby, and remove one sin from him thereby, until he enters the mosque.'"
(Sunan Ibn Majah 281, Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 281)
There’s a silver lining to every hardship. Nothing that the Almighty sends your way is bad. At times, being let down by someone can be the direct cause for you to dig deep in yourself, finding your own strength. You learn to depend only on the One who made you. No one else matters.
Abu Huraira (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: He who believes in Allah and the Hereafter, if he witnesses any matter he should talk in good terms about it or keep quiet. Act kindly towards woman, for woman is created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you attempt to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, its crookedness will remain there. So act kindly towards women.
(Sahih Muslim 1468a, Book 17, Hadith 80)
I am getting messages from a growing number who have done aesthetic surgery; nose jobs, fillers, botox etc saying that they deeply regret their actions. Many slide into depression and even have suicidal thoughts. Learn to love yourself the way you are. Don't do anything major unless you really have a defect.
Abu Hurairah (RA) said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: ‘Be frequent in saying: “There is no might or power except by Allah, (La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah).” For verily, it is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise.’”
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3601, Vol. 6, Book 46, Hadith 3601)
