self-reflection 🕊

2nd night of Tarawih 🎀 Tonight, as the imam recited: “Inna Allaha ma‘a as-sabireen.” Indeed, Allah is with the patient. (2:153) And suddenly… it felt personal. With the mother who is silently struggling. With the sister healing from heartbreak. With the one fighting her own nafs. With the one trying to stay consistent in salah. Allah is with the patient. Not just watching. Not just testing. But with. Ya Allah, make us from the "sabireen" The ones who stay. The ones who trust. The ones who hold on even when it’s hard. If You are with us, we have everything we need. 🤍

🌧️ اللهم صيبا نافعا اللهم صيبا نافعا اللهم صيبا نافعا

selamat berbuka everyone!

Allah says in Surah Al Hadid (57:20) that the life of this world is nothing but play, distraction, adornment, boasting & competition in wealth & children, fleeting, like rain that impresses, then dries and turns to dust. Fasting for 13 hours, only to feel full after 10 minutes, mirrors this reality perfectly. We anticipate, we endure hunger & thirst, we imagine satisfaction & yet the pleasure fades almost as soon as it arrives. What we waited all day for settles briefly, then disappears. Ramadan exposes the illusion gently but clearly, the dunya promises fullness but delivers emptiness just as fast. Through fasting, Allah trains our hearts to detach, to realise that if food cannot satisfy us for long, then neither will wealth, status, attention, or comfort. What truly nourishes is not what enters the stomach, but what settles in the heart, sincerity, patience, restraint & closeness to Him. The dunya fades quickly, only what is done for Allah remains.

Fasting in Ramaḍān Whilst Leaving Off the Prayers | Sh. Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn Raḥimahullāh [Q]: What is the ruling on one who fasts in Ramaḍān while leaving off the prayers? [A]: The one who fasts while leaving off the prayers, then his fasting will not benefit him. It will not be accepted from him and he has not removed the obligation [of fasting] from himself [i.e. his fasting will not be counted]. Rather, he is not requested to fast as long as he leaves off the prayers because the one who does not establish the prayers is like the Jew or Christian, what if a Jew or Christian fasted, will it be accepted from them? It will not! So we say to this individual: Repent to Allāh, establish the prayers and fast. Indeed Allāh accepts the repentance of the repentant one. ● [فتاوى في الصيام، الكتاب: ٤٨]

☔️ while we enjoy the breeze from the wind, let’s not forget to recite the du’a when it is raining! (+ especially during this blessed month of Ramadan ✨) du’a when 🌧️: اللّهُمَّ صَيِّـباً نافِـعاً Allahumma shoyibban nafi’a O Allah, make it a beneficial rain! Sahih Bukhari 1032.

Ramādhan Mubaarak, from all of the admins of Self-Reflection to all of you! 🌙 may this month bring you baraqah, peace and tranquility, in sya allah! 💚 im so excited for sahurr!

i started watching his talks videos, and genuinely it brings me closer to Him. i still remember the early stages of learning more about my own religion, Islam. that hijrah journey back in 2020. his videos were the one that drove me to be more into Islamic knowledge too, although his tone might sound aggressive and harsh but wallah, it will make you open up your eyes! and indeed, all those statements that he mentioned, is something for us to ponder upon.
