Ramblings of Souls

تَقَبَّلَ اللّهُ مِنَّا وَ مِنْكُمْ The End Of Ramaḍān Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī رحمه الله said these lines of poetry upon completion of Ramaḍān: • Oh you, who your Lord has freed from the Fire, be warned of returning to the servitude of the wretched after being freed! • Will your Lord distance you from the Fire, while you seek to become nearer to it?! He (Allāh) saved you from it, while you seek to throw yourself in it, and don’t care to protect yourself from it! • If mercy is shown to the good-doers, then the wrong-doer should not despair from it, and if forgiveness is shown to those who have piety, then one who has wronged himself will not be deprived of it. ● [لطائف المعارف]

Our Lord has commanded that Eid should be a day of celebration, and that it's a sign from the signs of Islaam. Seek refuge in Allah from being amongst those who grieve on this day. Don't be of those who despair of His mercy سبحانه وتعالى. Verily, we worship a Lord that has promised to give victory to Islaam and Muslims and has promised to revenge us in dunya and akhirah. Rejoice that He has guided you to Tawheed, and He has chosen you as His slaves. Rejoice for by Allah, the only one that put us through trials is the only one that can make that same trial vanish within a blink of an eye. سمعنا واطعنا We hear, and we obey! This should be on every believers tongue, deeply rooted in his heart. Do not be swayed by trials and tribulation. While Islaam has allowed us to mourn and grieve, it should only be done to draw us closer to Allah. To seek His help, humbling ourselves, admitting to our mistakes and shortcomings while knowing that Allah is more merciful to us than ourselves. This is the essence of Tawheed ;  doing what He has commanded, despite what we are going through and in the face of every adversity. That is how we make the word of Allah the highest, and this is how we achieve His pleasure in shaa Allah. قال الله تعالى ؛ ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى ٱلْقُلُوبِ (That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols [i.e., rites] of Allāh - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts) May Allah heal our hearts and cool our eyes with what He has promised us. May we live to see another Ramadaan and Allah has changed our condition to the best of conditions. #staysteadfast Whispers - همسات

"Mother, we were sentenced to death. Forgive us and put your trust in Allah." Three Uzbeks who killed Israeli Rabbi Tzvi Kogan in the UAE called their families and said they would be executed. Three Uzbeks were captured in Türkiye and extradited to the UAE. https://x.com/doamuslims/status/1905953461729976458?s=46&t=zS1tuN3hqlJnPdWO6rzhcg

Do not be a Ramadani. Be an Imaani, Ihsaani, Rabbaani – that is exactly what we are trying to get at. Ramadan dies and the days die, but the Lord of Ramadan and the days never dies! —Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibrīl حفظه الله تعالى [Gems of Ramadan 28- Saying Goodbye To Ramadan Pardon and Forgive]

⚠️The Concept Of "Secret Friend" For Sharing Gifts Is Prohibited For Several Reasons. ⬆️In case the gifts are of different value (cost) ⬆️Prohibited because it is a type of gambling (items with different values) ⁽¹⁾ ⬆️In case the gifts are of the same value ⬆️Prohibited because it is an imitation of kuffar. (It's origin is from a concept known as secret-santa) ⁽²⁾ ⬆️A gift is given in hope for a gift (the islamic concept of sincerity in gifting is lost) ⁽³⁾ ⬆️Gifting something in exchange of another comes under "sale". Sale is not valid without prior knowledge of items being exchanged for each other. ⁽⁴⁾ ⬆️Every individual are forced to spend a set value (even if they dislike it or regardless of their capacity) ~ Galandān 🖋 Notes: [1] IslamQA Fatwā no.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Prisons, As Ramadan draws to a close, we want to take a moment to send you our heartfelt wishes for peace, blessings, and strength. Despite the challenges you face in prisons, your resilience and faith continue to inspire us all. This holy month has been a time of spiritual growth for all of us. Though you may be physically separated from your loved ones and community, please know that you are not forgotten. Your dedication to your faith and your perseverance in the face of adversity are a testament to your inner strength and courage. As Eid al-Fitr approaches, may you find solace in the knowledge that Allah is with you, guiding you through every trial and hardship just like He guided all those who followed the path of hijr@h and jih@d in the past. May the joy of Eid fill your hearts with hope, and may the blessings of Ramadan carry you through the days ahead. May this Ramadan be the last Ramadan away from your loved ones and may Allah reunite you with them before the next Ramadan arrives. On this joyous occasion, let us remember the importance of compassion, forgiveness, and unity. Despite our circumstances, let us embrace the spirit of Eid by reaching out to one another with kindness and generosity. Remember, dear sisters and brothers, that you are not alone there. We stand in solidarity with you, praying for your well-being and advocating for your rights. May Allah grant you patience, courage, and freedom from oppression.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The first batch to enter Paradise will appear like the moon of a night that it is full, they do not spit, nor do their noses run, nor do they defecate. Their vessels are of gold, their combs are of silver and gold, their perfume is of Aluwwah, and their sweat is musk. Each one of them has two wives, so beautiful that the marrow of their shins can be seen through the flesh. There is no differing among them nor mutual hatred, and their hearts are like the heart of one man, and they glorify Allah morning and evening." [Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2537] @FadingShadow

Do you ever see or smell someone who smells very horrible – you look at him and he in unkempt, untidy, dishevelled and dirty. You see him and you cannot look at him or stand his smell. Suddenly, he takes a shower, combs his hair and puts on cologne, and then immediately after his makeover he heads to a sump of waste and takes a dive into it. That is the one who Allah cleaned from sins, and right after Ramadan he walks into the sump of sins. Did you ever see a weak man or woman who is yellow and pale, because they caught some kind of illness or disease. He was about to die and he went to the hospital for that illness. They do therapy on him, they give him medicine or whatever it may be, and he comes back to life a strong and healthy person, free of his illness. What if he walks out of that hospital and goes right back to that which the doctor told him caused the illness that he had? You are a healthy person with the Imaanic therapy of Ramadhaan, so do not let the disease of sins make you hazel and weak after Ramadan. —Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibrīl حفظه الله تعالى [Gems of Ramadan 28- Saying Goodbye To Ramadan Pardon and Forgive]

The days passed by and they passed by faster than anyone expected. It is as if we just gathered here yesterday talking about how one shackles his inclinations the day the Shaytaan gets shackled, and today this is our farewell Khaatirah. That is Ramadan and that is the days of one’s life – they pass by and what you get out of them is your deeds for you or your sins against you. Glory and congratulations to those who Ramadan leaves with a white clean register – one that will make one proud when he stands before Allah سبحانه و تعالى. Congratulations to those whose tears generously flowed over their cheeks in humility and reverence, enjoying the special bond between them and Allah سبحانه و تعالى. Blessed be those who purified themselves with deeds – those who honoured and elevated their souls with nearness to Allah. That is the way to honour and cure your soul. How privileged is he who leaves Ramadan with a new relationship with Allah – renewed vows, firm promises, a clean slate and fresh resolutions. —Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibrīl حفظه الله تعالى [Gems of Ramadan 28- Saying Goodbye To Ramadan Pardon and Forgive]

Whoever abandons (the recitation of) the Qu’ran, would have abandoned treating sickness and seeking healing through it. [Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullah), al-Fawaa’id, pg. 156]

📰 The streets of Khartoum erupted in celebration on Tuesday after the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) declared the city free from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. Following intense street battles, the SAF officially announced its control over Khartoum, sparking jubilant scenes among those who remained in the city. Mohamed Obaid, 40, from Nile East - a former RSF stronghold - described the terror of survival under occupation. “I stayed indoors for days without food, too afraid to step outside,” he recounted to Middle East Eye. “I don’t even want to remember those days. You could die at any moment for no reason. “If you managed to reach a Starlink shop to exchange money, you’d find RSF fighters running the place, seizing 30 percent of your cash for no reason. They controlled all supplies and sold them at outrageous prices.” 🔗 https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/sudanese-jubilant-after-army-retakes-khartoum-rsf-militia?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social_traffic
