self-reflection 🕊

Allah has planned it beautifully, so wait patiently.

don’t overthink. it was Qadr of Allah and it was the best for you, that’s all you need to know.

The greatest virtue of repentance and seeking forgiveness is earning Allahs love. Allah says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوّابينَ وَيُحِبُّ المُتَطَهِّرينَ Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves. (Surat Al-Baqarah:222)

Ibn Taymiyah once wrote: [ما رأيت شيئاً يغذي العقل والروح ويحفظ الـجسم ويضمن السعادة أكثـر من إدامة النظر فـي كتاب الله تعـالى] I have never seen anything which nourishes the intellect and soul, preserves the body, and ensures happiness more than consistently reading from Allah's Book. [Majmoo' al-Fatawa 7/493]

What is your condition with the Qur’an? Is it sitting on your shelf, collecting dust? Or is it the companion you turn to every day for guidance, comfort, and light? Sayyidina Uthman ibn Affan once said he would feel ashamed if even a single day passed without opening and reading from the Mushaf (the physical Qur’an). And on the Day of Judgment, the Prophet Muhammad 🌻 will stand before Allah and complain about a group of his Ummah, as mentioned in the Qur'an:

“The Messenger has cried, “O my Lord! My people have indeed received this Quran with neglect.” (Surah Al-Furqan, 25:30)

Let us not be among those the Prophet will speak about on that day. Instead, let’s strive to open the Qur’an daily, recite its verses, reflect on its meanings, and let it transform our hearts. It’s never too late to rekindle our relationship with the Book of Allah.

🌧️ du’a when raining: اللّهُمَّ صَيِّـباً نافِـعاً Allahumma shoyibban nafi’a O Allah, make it a beneficial rain! Sahih Bukhari 1032. it’s the best time to make your du’as! don’t forget to send your selawat to Rasulullah ﷺ! @selfreflectionforummah

real eyes realise that the day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit. sabr and tawakkul behind the effort will always make the fruit worth the wait.

Allah has written your story beautifully, so relax and rest your heart and trust Allah.

Friday Sunnah Reminders 🤍📿 We all know how special Jumaah (Friday) is in our Deen but we need reminders from time to time to recall the magnanimity of this golden day. Friday is no average day for Muslims. It has the honor of being called ‘best day of the week’ by the best person to ever exist- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. 1. Send extra selawat to Rasulullah Rasulullah ﷺ said : “The person closest to me on the Day of Resurrection is the one who sent the most Selawat upon me.” 🖤 [ Sunan Al-Tirmidhi 484 ] 2. Read Surah Al-Kahfi We can read: A. The first 10 Ayahs of Surah Al-Kahf B. The last 10 Ayahs of Surah Al-Kahf C. Both A and B D. Ideally, the complete Surah Al-Kahf. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever reads Surah Al-Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays.” [ Narrated by al-Haakim; Grade Sahih by al-Albaani ] 3. Mandi Jumaat [ Jumaah Shower ] Abu Sa’id Al-Khudr reports: I testify that Allah’s Messenger said, ‘The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim who has attained the age of puberty and also cleaning of teeth with Siwak and using perfume, if available’. [ Sahih Bukhari ] 4. Use Fragance & New Piece of Clothings. “Put on your adornment on every occasion of prayer” [ Surat al-A’raf 7: 31 ] 5. Berdoa to Allah [ Send supplications to Allah ] 6. Trimming your nails Abu Hurayrah R.A. reported that ‘Five are the demonstrations of fitrah (nature/ instinct): 1. circumcision, 2. evacuating the hair underneath the navel, 3. trimming the mustache, 4. trimming the nails, and 5. culling the hair under the arms.’ 7. Make lots of Dua between Asr & Maghrib “There is a special hour on Friday, during which all prayers are accepted and answered by Allah, all Glory and Praise be to Him. This is part of the blessings that Allah has blessed this day with, over all the other days of the week. “On this day there is a time when no Muslim stands and prays, asking Allah for something, but Allah will grant him it” – and he gestured with his hands to indicate how short that time is. [ Bukhari and Muslim ] Ibn Al-Qayyim said that this golden hour is to be found in the time after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib Azan (end of day): “Friday has twelve hours (or part of it). There is one hour during which if a Muslim asks Allah anything, Allah will give it to him, so find it during the last hour after Asr.” [ Abu Dawud & An-Nasai ] Let’s do the virtues of Friday together! insha allah, if you can’t do everything, it’s okayy, don’t leave everything out okayy 🤍 may Allah ease your affairs. 🕊 MD. @selfreflectionforummah

bagaimanapun prosesnya, ingatlah semuanya sudah ditakdirkan untuk kamu.

صبر nothing is by accident. everything has been written.

talk to Allah and tell Him your problem, because only Allah can solve them.

oh Allah, please forgive me for worrying while knowing you always make a way.

In his explanation of surah al-Israa' [17], al-haafidh ibn Kathir wrote: ‎[ وقوله ( ويرجون رحمته ويخافون عذابه ) : لا تتم العبادة إلا بالخوف والرجاء فبالخوف ينكف عن المناهي وبالرجاء ينبعث على الطاعات ] Allah's statement: ‎[وَيَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَيَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُ] "... they hope for Allah's mercy and fear His punishment ..." (57) Worship cannot be made complete without both fear and hope, for fear restrains one from the forbidden matters while hope motivates him to perform acts of obedience." [Tafsir ibn Kathir 5/89]

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen mentioned the following while explaining his introductory text on the foundations of Tafsir: [للقسم فائدتان: الأول بيان عظمة المقسم به . الثانية بيان أهمية المقسم عليه . ولهذا لا يجوز للمخلوق أن يحلف بغير الله عز وجل. ـ] An oath conveys two things: 1) It shows the greatness of the thing that is being used to make the oath 2) It shows the importance of the what the oath is being made about Because of this it is not permissible for any created being to swear by anything other than Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. [Sharh Usool al-Tafsir pg 221]

whatever Allah takes away, He brings it back ten times better.

jangan pernah lelah untuk memperbaiki diri

dont lose yourself in a world that is not permanent.
