you think you are not being punished for your sins, yet you have been deprived of Qiyām Layl, your daily portion of the Qur’an, and the goodness of these blessed 10 days.
you have been deprived of nawaafil, sadaqah and it's difficult for you to even repeat the takbeer.
your heart has been sealed but you are unaware because you're not afflicted in your worldly affairs.
punishment, sometimes, is being deprived from worshipping Allāh.
As long as your spouse isn't treating you unjustly, there's no better spouse than them out there. Don't be deceived by the aesthetics and whispers of your imagination.
That a stranger is kind to you in a way your spouse has never been doesn't make your spouse any less worthy. 👍
Random but if you can afford it, please invest in your sleep life too. Quality orthopaedic mattress, memory pillow, neat bedsheet, well ventilated room and lots more!
I like money. I like the lifestyle money affords me. I like the things that happen when I give money away. I like money.
Oh Allah, increase me in abundant wealth and money.
Bismillah
Please read and digest this thread; it will be helpful to you as a Muslim so that you won't "sleep on the bicycle."
I just want to inform you that Laylatul-Qadr can fall not only on odd nights but that, most of the time, it actually falls on even nights.
Let's begin by citing the hadiths that establish the significance of this blessed night for Muslims. There are about ten hadiths that I can recall regarding Laylatul-Qadr. The majority state that the Night of Majesty should be sought in the last ten days of Ramadan.
On the authority of Aisha:
كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يجاور في العشر الأواخر من رمضان، ويقول: تحروا ليلة القدر في العشر الأواخر من رمضان،
The Messenger of Allah used to observe i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan and would say: "Seek Laylatul-Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan."
On the authority of Abu Hurairah:
أريت ليلة القدر، ثم أيقظني بعض أهلي فنسيتها، فالتمسوها في العشر الغوابر
"I was shown Laylatul-Qadr, then one of my family members woke me up, and I forgot it. So, seek it in the last remaining ten nights."
Let’s suffice ourselves with these two hadiths for now.
The reason we were commanded to search for this night is due to a dispute that occurred between two men, causing them to raise their voices in the presence of the Prophet. This is evident in another hadith narrated by Ubadah ibn Samit.
خرج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ليخبرنا بليلة القدر، فتهاحى رجلان من المسلمين، فقال: خرجت لأخبركم بليلة القدر، فتهاحى فلان وفلان؛ فرفعت
"The Prophet came out to inform us about Laylatul-Qadr, but two men from among the Muslims were quarreling. So he said: 'I came out to inform you about Laylatul-Qadr, but so-and-so and so-and-so disputed, and it was lifted.'"
For students of Arabic language, the verb used for "Quarreling" in this Hadith was derived from the Arabic word for "beards" which could be translated that the two men were dragging their beards—according the explanation of some scholars.
Since we are to seek Laylatul-Qadr within the last ten days, particularly on odd nights, it is necessary to consider the total number of days in Ramadan.
If Ramadan is 29 days, then the last ten days will begin on the 19th night.
If Ramadan is 30 days, then the last ten days will begin on the 20th night.
Many Muslims focus solely on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th nights for increased acts of worship. However, if Ramadan happens to be 29 days, this approach may lead to missing Laylatul-Qadr altogether.
Additionally, in a hadith reported by Ubadah and some other companions, the Prophet said:
فالتمسوها في التاسعة والسابعة والخامسة
"Seek it on the 9th, 7th, and 5th (of the last ten nights)."
This hadith instructs us to seek Laylatul-Qadr on the 9th, 7th, and 5th of the last ten days. There is no specific hadith that explicitly states it falls on the 21st, 23rd, 27th etc.
By calculation:
If Ramadan is 29 days and we start counting the last ten days from the 20th night, then:
The 22nd night will be the 3rd night of the last ten days.
The 24th night will be the 5th.
The 26th night will be the 7th.
Looking at it from this angle, the laylatul-Qadr will fall on an even night in the month of Ramadan.
Many people have spent years unaware of this due to the widespread misconception that Laylatul-Qadr only falls on the 21st, 23rd, or 27th nights.
Another intriguing point is that the majority of Ramadans we observe are 29-day months. In fact, the standard lunar calendar follows this, while having a 30-day Ramadan is the exception.
So, do not be selective about which nights you dedicate to worship during the last ten days. This might be your last Ramadan, and it might be mine too.
Share this message far and wide. May Allah accept our heartfelt prayers. Ameen.
muslim to muslim,
before you go to bed every day, do hisaab. contemplate on the day you had; the good, the bad, the wrongs. thank Allāh, do istighfār and make amends where necessary. in that moment of reflection, make plans for the next day. you can do this while lying in bed, or after witr.
don't be that person who just lives as the days come. a productive muslim does not live on vibes. reflect, plan, act. rinse, repeat. call yourself to account before you're called to account.
For Those People Who Slander &Backbite The Learned Scholars They Should Know That The Punishment They'll Be Giving On The Day Of Qiyammah Would Be Their Finger Nails Made Of Copper Used In Scratching Their Faces

By Allah, what is yours will come to you. It'll never go to someone else. What is not yours will never stay. Trust Allah like your life depends on it coz your life actually depends on it. Trust Allah with full trust.
People look at you in a different way that may depress you or make you happy.
Some may see you as a bad person while others see you as the perfect one.
There are those who may not see you at all!
Only Allah sees you for who truely are.
So devote your entire life for Him.
If Imam Jubril J, writes 1.5 million words (deliberate exaggeration pls 😂)
I'll read all word for word, when I'm done reading it, I'd then ask myself "did I read all of these" 😂
You won't even know you have read till the final full stop.
May Allah preserve you upon Khair.
Love is to be seen
Love is to be known
Love is to be heard
Love is to consider
Love isn't about flowers and texts, it's about being understood when you're quiet.
Real love sees your mess and still calls it art
True love is not a feeling. It’s recognition. It's an action.
Whatever your parents/guardians/alfa/ustadh taught you about Islam as a child, you need to study again as an adult to learn, unlearn and relearn.
Many of us are still on the path that we are because of what we saw these people on.
There is a whole lot to unpack & pack.
Ya Rabb, if there's anything of my sins, transgressions, negligence and disobedience that causes a barrier for my du'as not to be accepted, I seek your forgiveness and pardon in removing the barrier by your mercy. You are the most merciful, the best pardoner.
