The Significance Of Seeking Guidance From Allaah In All Our Affairs: The statement of the great companion Jaabir Ibn `Abdullaah رضي الله عنهما that the Prophet ﷺ used to teach them the way of doing al-Istikhaarah in all matters, just as he taught them a Surah from the Qur’aan, highlights the emphasis that the Prophet ﷺ placed on seeking Allaah’s guidance in all our affairs. Allaah تعالى said: ﴿وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ اللَّهِ﴾ And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, without guidance from Allaah? Who could be more misguided than someone who had the chance to seek guidance from Allaah and seek the straight path that leads to happiness both in this world and the Hereafter, but instead chooses ignorance, depends on his own understanding, and follows his desires? Is there anyone more misguided than such a person? The significance of this Duaa is also understood from the perspective that the Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate to Allaah تعالى for guidance in the night prayers in Duaa Qunoot in Witr, saying: اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ “O Allaah, guide me among those whom You have guided.” Moreover, even in the daily prayers, the Believers continually seek Allaah’s guidance, particularly in Surah Al-Faatiḥah, where they recite: ﴿اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ﴾ Guide us to the straight path This plea for guidance is echoed in the Du`aa al-Istikhaarah, a specific supplication taught by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for seeking Allaah’s guidance in making decisions. By engaging in al-Istikhaarah, we adhere to a Sunnah and cultivate our trust in Allaah’s Supreme Wisdom.

Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) reported that Rasoolullah ﷺ said: Allah, the Exalted, said: “I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves, and My servant will have what he asks for. When the servant says: الحمد لله رب العالمين Allah says: ‘My servant has praised Me.’ When he says: الرحمان الحريم Allah says: ‘My servant has extolled Me.’ When he says: مالك يوم الدين Allah says: ‘My servant has glorified Me.’ And when he says: ايّاك نعبد وايّاك نستعين Allah says: ‘This is between Me and My servant, and My servant will have what he asks. When he says: اهدنا الصّراط المستقيم، صراط الذين انعمت عليهم، غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضّآلّين Allah says: ‘This is for My servant, and My servant will have what he has asked for. [Sahih Muslim - 395]

One of the poets said: A complete man is one with two things:

• a beard on his face. • a wife at home.

[Wahy al-Qalam, p. 314]

• ‏قال ابن القيم رحمه الله: ‏القلب لا يطمئِنُّ إلاَّ بالإيمان واليقين، ولا سبيل إلى حصول الإيمان واليقـين إلاَّ من القرآن. The heart finds peace only through faith and certainty and these come only from the Qur’an.

Pre-dawn is the best time to earn rewards just like the early morning is the best time to earn a living. السحر أفضل أوقات كسب الأجور، كما أن البكور أفضل أوقات كسب الأرزاق Sheikh Abdel Aziz AlTarefe (May Allah free him)

•• ​Among the subtle and insightful accounts mentioned is that a man asked Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the prayer in Mina—meaning, why was it shortened? Ibn Umar asked him: "Have you heard of Muhammad ﷺ?!" ​The man replied: "Yes, and I believed in him." ​Ibn Umar said: "Then indeed, he used to pray two Rak'ahs in Mina." — [Musnad Ahmad 5240] ​This is how true submission and following (the Prophet) should be. It is sufficient for you to know that the Prophet ﷺ used to do so, and at that point, you have no choice but to do as he did.

Better for him than three large, fat, pregnant she-camels: عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أيحب أحدكم إذا رجع إلى أهله أن يجد فيه ثلاث خَلِفَاتٍ عِظَامِ سِمَانٍ؟» قلنا: نعم، قال: «فثلاث آيات يقرأ بهن أحدكم في صلاته خيرٌ له من ثلاث خلفات عظام سمان».   [صحيح] - [رواه مسلم] Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Would any one of you like to find three large, fat, pregnant she-camels when he returns to his family?" We said: 'Yes.' He said: "Three verses that one of you recites in his prayer are better for him than three large, fat, pregnant she-camels."   [Sahih/Authentic. - (Muslim)]

​Day 1: " It’s just my hand. I’ll post the photo." ​Day 2: "They’re just small details, what harm could it do?" ​Day 3: "It’s fine, as long as my face isn’t showing." ​Day 4: "Besides, I’m not wearing makeup/adornment, so it’s fine to post my photos." ​Ending: "Only... for Dawa (religious outreach) reasons, of course!" ​ "How many times... have you lied to yourself?" #Fear_Allah my sister

•• ​A friend asked his friend: "Which is better: working from home for a salary of 1,000 Riyals, or working outside the home for a salary of 27,000 Riyals?" ​He laughed and said: "Definitely outside the home." ​The first one replied: "It's the same with 'your prayer at home versus your prayer at the mosque'.." ​Worth reflecting upon..

•• ​If Allah wills a matter, it will be, even if intellect and logic reject it, even if all the inhabitants of the Earth oppose it, even if all means to it cease to exist, or if everything stands in its way. ​If Allah wills a matter, none can avert it. ​{ His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.} ​And how many a need seemed like a mirage, yet Allah willed for it to be fulfilled, and so it came to pass. ​

°° أنَّ رجلًا قال يا رسولَ اللهِ أَجْعَلُ ثُلُثَ صَلاتِي عليكَ؟ قال: نَعَمْ إنْ شِئْتَ . قال : الثُّلُثَيْنِ ؟ قال : نَعَمْ . قال : فَصَلاتِي كلَّها ؟ قال رسولُ اللهِ : إذا يَكْفيكَ اللهُ ما أَهَمَّكَ من أَمْرِ دُنْياكَ وآخِرَتِكَ . صحيح الترغيب الصفحة أو الرقم : 1671

Rasoolullah ﷺ was asked: A man said: Ya Rasoolullah ﷺ, should I dedicate one-third of my supplication to sending Salat upon you?’ He ﷺ said: ‘Yes, if you wish. He asked: ‘Then two-thirds?’ He ﷺ said: ‘Yes.’ He then said: ‘Then all of my supplication?’ Rasoolullah ﷺ replied: Then Allah will suffice you in all that concerns you from the matters of your worldly life and your Hereafter.

اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد.

Allah says in surah al-A'raf: [وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا] Allah has the most beautiful names so call on Him by them. [180] Commenting on this, al-Qurtubi wrote: [قوله تعالى : فادعوه بها أي اطلبوا منه بأسمائه ; فيطلب بكل اسم ما يليق به ، تقول : يا رحيم ارحمني ، يا حكيم احكم لي ، يا رازق ارزقني ، يا هاد اهدني ، يا فتاح افتح لي ، يا تواب تب علي ; هكذا] "So call on Him by them" - i.e. seek your needs from Him through His names, asking for each thing with a fitting name. For example, you can say, "O Raheem, have mercy on me," or "O Hakeem, judge in my favor," or "O Raziq, provide for me," or "O Hadi, guide me," or "O Fattah, open things up for me," or "O Tawwab, forgive me," and so on. [Jaami' li-Ahkam al-Qur'an 7/292]

•• ‏قال ابن باز -رحمه الله-: لا شك أن الإكثار من ذكر الله والاستغفار والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ﷺ من أعظم الأسباب في طمأنينة القلوب وراحتها، ‏وفي السكون إلى الله -سبحانه وتعالى- والأنس به سبحانه، وزوال الوحشة والذبذبة والحيرة. ‏ • مجموع الفتاوى (٢٠٩/١١). اللهم صلّ وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد ..

Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "Undoubtedly, frequently mentioning Allah, seeking forgiveness, and sending prayers and blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are among the greatest factors in bringing peace and tranquility to the hearts. Furthermore, finding solace in Allah, the Exalted, and feeling closeness to Him, leads to the elimination of loneliness, anxiety, and confusion." • Majmu' al-Fatawa (11/209).
