Today, they may praise you, love you, defend you, and speak highly of you. Tomorrow, one mistake, one sentence, one action that displeases them can make them forget everything they once admired about you.
That is the nature of people's approval.
It is temporary. It changes with moods, opinions, circumstances, and expectations. If you build your life around being admired by people, you will spend your life protecting an image that was never truly yours.
So don't live for people's izzat.
Live for Allah.
Allah knows the deed that nobody saw.
He knows the tears you hid from everyone.
He knows the sin you committed and the tawbah you made afterwards.
He knows the struggle behind your obedience.
He knows what is in your heart when nobody understands you.
And when you fall, your story does not have to end there.
A sin does not mean you must remain a sinner. A mistake does not mean you are permanently ruined. Return to Allah. Repent sincerely. Correct yourself. Keep walking.
People may reduce you to your worst moment.
Allah opens the door of tawbah for you.
So don't chase a reputation with people at the expense of your relationship with Allah.
If people praise you, remain humble.
If they criticize you, examine yourself.
If they abandon you, don't abandon Allah.
Because the approval of people is a mirage.
The pleasure of Allah is what remains.
Mahmud Yahya

| 3 | When Intellectualism Becomes an Inferiority Complex
Read Kafka. Read Nietzsche. Read Dostoevsky. Read European philosophers, artists, poets, and intellectuals. There is nothing inherently wrong with studying them.
But ask yourself an uncomfortable question:
Why do some Muslims have endless time to read Western intellectuals... yet have no time to study the great scholars of Islam?
They can quote Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kafka — in English, on Instagram, X, status and present themselves as deeply intellectual.
But ask them:
▪️ Have you read Imam al-Shafi'i?
▪️ Have you studied Ibn Taymiyyah?
▪️ Have you read Imam al-Ghazali?
▪️ Have you studied Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani?
▪️ Have you read Ibn al-Qayyim?
Often, the answer is silence.
This is not an argument against reading Western thinkers. It is an argument against losing our intellectual priorities.
An entire library fits inside your phone. The problem is no longer access to knowledge — it's knowing which knowledge deserves priority.
The Prophet ﷺ taught us to ask:
اللهم إني أسألك علماً نافعاً
"O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge."
Before filling your mind with the philosophies and theories of the world, ask yourself:
✦ Have I read the Qur'an with its meaning?
✦ Have I studied its tafsir?
✦ Have I studied the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ?
✦ Do I know the basic fiqh of Taharah and Salah?
✦ Do I understand the essential rulings of Zakah?
✦ Do I even know the importance of Takbirat al-Ihram?
These are not obscure questions. These are the foundations of our religion.
Yet a person can discuss Dostoevsky's themes and speak confidently about European philosophy — while remaining ignorant of the basic knowledge required to worship Allah correctly.
What kind of intellectual achievement is that?
The question was never: _should_ Muslims read Western philosophers? The real question is: what comes first?
Learn your Deen. Understand the Qur'an. Study the Sunnah. Learn the Seerah. Understand Aqeedah, Fiqh, and worship. Read the scholars of Islam.
Then broaden your horizons.
A Muslim should not need Nietzsche to feel intellectual, Kafka to appear cultured, or Dostoevsky to demonstrate depth. Our own heritage contains giants whose works shaped centuries of scholarship.
The problem isn't reading others. The problem is knowing everyone except our own scholars, quoting everyone except our own tradition.
That is not intellectualism. Sometimes, it is an inferiority complex wearing the clothes of intellectualism.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Connect yourself to your Lord first. Build the foundations first. *Then* read the world.
Knowledge should not merely make you sound intelligent — it should make you a better servant of Allah. And that is the knowledge worth pursuing. | 72 |

| 6 | Hum samajhte the ke laayegi farāghat ta‘leem
Kya khabar thi ke chala aayega ilhād bhi saath.
We thought education would bring economic freedom;
Who knew that atheism would come along with it too?
Look at Kerala, People of Kerala have proudly spoken about Kerala's literacy rate and educational achievements. The most educated state. “
One of the highest literacy rates. Degrees, universities, professional careers, modern education.
But we must ask a more important question:
What kind of Muslims is this education producing?
If education is accompanied by the abandonment of Islamic identity, the glorification of secularism, the rise of feminism, and the normalisation of practices that Islam does not accept, then why should Muslims blindly celebrate it as progress?
Look at what is increasingly visible in schools and colleges.
Muslim girls participating in and proudly celebrating Onam and other Hindu festivals, dancing in college and school programmes alongside others, sharing those celebrations publicly, and presenting all of this as a symbol of being modern, progressive and educated.
And then comes the strange part:
A Muslim woman may put a scarf over her head and call it hijab, while abandoning the modesty and principles that hijab actually represents.
She may proudly participate in cultural practices that have no place in Islamic religious identity.
This is not the education Muslims should be proud of.
What is the benefit of knowing Shakespeare, mathematics, engineering, medicine or political science if a person becomes ignorant of her own dīn?
What is the benefit of a university degree if it teaches a Muslim to be embarrassed by Islam?
What is the value of worldly sophistication if it comes at the cost of religious commitment?
A woman who has little or no worldly education but knows Allah, observes her salah, preserves her modesty, protects her household, raises her children upon Islam and refuses to compromise her dīn for social approval is far more superior than these filths.
If worldly education produces arrogance, secularism, shamelessness and contempt for Islamic values, then the dust beneath the feet of the woman who preserved her dīn is more precious than the degrees of the one who sacrificed her principles for social acceptance.
The problem is not education. The problem is education without īmān.
Muslims must stop confusing literacy with guidance, degrees with wisdom, and modernity with progress.
We need educated Muslims who know the world without forgetting Allah.
Because if a Muslim becomes highly educated but gradually loses her attachment to Islam, what exactly are we celebrating?
A degree can make you successful in the eyes of society.
Only īmān and taqwā give you honour in the sight of Allah.
Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.
(Qur'an 49:13) | 75 |
| 7 | A curious pattern has emerged among some so-called Islamic intellectuals and organizations.
Feminists ask: Why does Islam keep women at home?
And the response is: No, no, Islam does not really confine women to the home. Look at these few Muslim women who were nurses, scholars, traders, or participated in public affairs.
But why accept the feminist framing in the first place?
Why must a woman devoted to her home be presented as an “extreme”?
Staying at home, raising children, serving the family, and building a righteous Muslim household are not inherently oppression. They are legitimate and highly honoured responsibilities in Islam.
Allah says: And remain in your homes.
Qur'an 33:33
And the Prophet ﷺ said: The woman is a shepherd over her husband's house and his children, and she is responsible for them.
Bukhari & Muslim
Yes, Muslim women historically participated in medicine, scholarship, commerce, and other activities. But cherry-picking a limited number of exceptional examples does not erase the centrality of the home and motherhood in Islamic family life.
And ask these organizations a simple question:
Where are the women whose life's work was raising righteous children, preserving a Muslim household, and nurturing the next generation?
Why are speakers repeatedly selected from women with degrees, professions, publications, and public careers?
Because apparently, a woman needs a professional title before her contribution becomes intellectually interesting.
This is where “soft feminism” can enter Islamic discourse: not by openly rejecting Islam, but by accepting the feminist premise that a woman needs a public role to prove that she is not oppressed.
No.
A Muslim woman does not need to apologize for being devoted to her home.
The home is not a prison. It is where the next generation of the Ummah is formed.
And perhaps the more important question is not: How many women entered the battlefield?
but: Who raised the men and women who entered it? | 71 |
| 8 | A woman, no matter how far she rises in the world, whether she becomes a scientist, doctor, engineer, teacher, astronaut, or reaches the moon itself, cannot be considered to have fully fulfilled her role as a woman if she is neglecting the responsibility of managing her home and nurturing her children.
No professional achievement, academic qualification, or worldly position can compensate for the neglect of the responsibilities Allah has placed upon her within the family.
The Qur'an and Sunnah establish that the household carries serious responsibilities, and that women have a responsibility toward their homes and families. The Prophet ﷺ said:
وَالْمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ عَلَى بَيْتِ بَعْلِهَا وَوَلَدِهِ وَهِيَ مَسْئُولَةٌ عَنْهُمْ
The woman is a shepherd over her husband's house and children, and she is responsible for them.
(Sahih Muslim)
Therefore, motherhood, child-rearing, and maintaining the family are not inferior occupations that a woman must abandon in order to become “successful.” They are serious responsibilities and, when fulfilled sincerely, can be among the greatest forms of service to Islam and society.
None of these worldly professions is inherently what determines her worth before Allah. What matters is whether she fulfils the obligations and responsibilities Allah has entrusted to her.
Success is ultimately measured by obedience to Allah and fulfilment of one's obligations, not by how high one climbs in the professional world. | 69 |

| 10 | Rabi al-Awwal has begun
This is the month in which the best of creation, our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ entered this world. It is the perfect time to reconnect with his life, his struggles, his mercy, his patience, and his love for his Ummah.
This month, set a target: complete at least one Seerah book. Any book that brings you closer to understanding the life of Rasulullah ﷺ.
Why? Because studying Seerah is not just knowledge it is ‘Ibādah. It is an act of worship that brings immense reward. Every page you read about him صلى الله عليه وسلم is a step towards loving him more, and loving him is part of our faith.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
"None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than his parents, his children, and all of mankind."
Umar Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه once admitted that he loved the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم more than anyone except himself. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, Not until I am more beloved to you than your own self.
Later, Umar رضي الله عنه said, “Now you are dearer to me than my own self.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم responded: “Now you have attained true faith.”
Every gathering, every sitting, and every effort we spend talking, reading, and learning about Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم is a gathering of Dhikr, a gathering where angels surround us, mercy descends, and our names are mentioned in better gatherings above the heavens.
This Rabi al-Awwal, let’s not let the month pass without reviving our love for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Start small, but start sincerely. Open a Seerah book today, read a few pages daily, and complete it by the end of this blessed month.
May Allah fill our hearts with true love for His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, allow us to follow his Sunnah, and gather us with him in the highest gardens of Jannah. | 164 |

| 12 | Gems of Friday Series - 1
Steadfastness (الثبات على الدين)
The greatest blessing a believer can receive is to remain steadfast upon Islam until death. Success is not judged by how a person begins life, but by how they end it: dying upon tawhid (the oneness of Allah), iman (faith), and the Sunnah.
Fear Allah and remain steadfast. Allah commands the believers:
Fear Allah as He truly deserves to be feared, and do not die except as Muslims." (Qur'an 3:102)
The greatest calamity is losing one's religion, not losing wealth or family. The Prophet ﷺ frequently supplicated: O Allah, do not make our religion the object of our greatest calamity.
Hearts need Allah's protection. Even the Prophet ﷺ often prayed: O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.
Steadfastness is achieved through practical means:
•Constant recitation, reflection, and implementation of the Qur'an.
•Sincere du'a asking Allah for firmness.
•Keeping the company of righteous people.
•Learning from the Prophets and the righteous predecessors (Salaf).
•Holding firmly to the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Avoiding innovations, sinful environments, doubts, temptations, and gatherings that mock Allah's religion.
Remaining united with the Muslim community and avoiding division.
Trials will increase over time. As people become further removed from the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ, doubts, temptations, and distractions become more widespread. This makes steadfastness even more valuable.
Patience during times of fitnah carries immense reward, remaining firm upon one's religion in times of widespread trials is like holding a burning ember, and that those who persevere may receive the reward of fifty of the Prophet's Companions for comparable deeds.
The best ending is to die upon tawhid and the Sunnah. The imam reminded the congregation that the greatest honor Allah grants His servant is to conclude life with sincere faith and submission.
Every Muslim to make preserving their faith their highest priority. In a world filled with doubts, desires, distractions, and trials, the path to steadfastness is to cling to the Qur'an, follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, keep righteous company, avoid sources of misguidance, and constantly ask Allah to keep the heart firm until death.

•Don't Forget to recite Surah Kahf | 152 |
| 14 | Be quick to forgive, slow to expose.
Every human being makes mistakes. If Allah has concealed someone's faults, do not make it your mission to expose them for entertainment, gossip, or humiliation.
Allah says: Let them pardon and overlook. Would you not love that Allah should forgive you?
(Qur'an 24:22)
The believer should be at the forefront of:
Forgiving people's mistakes
Concealing their faults
Advising them privately
Hoping for their guidance, not their disgrace
The Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever conceals the fault of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter.
(Sahih Muslim)
He ﷺ also said: The Most Merciful shows mercy to those who are merciful. Show mercy to those on the earth, and the One above the heavens will show mercy to you.
(Jami' al-Tirmidhi)
Be careful not to rush to expose others. Today you may be pointing at someone else's mistakes, but tomorrow you may be tested with your own.
The Prophet ﷺ warned: Whoever pursues the faults of his Muslim brother, Allah will pursue his faults. And if Allah pursues a person's faults, He will expose him even if he is inside his home.
(Jami' al-Tirmidhi)
Remember:
• If you are merciful to Allah's servants, Allah will be merciful to you.
• If you conceal others, Allah will conceal you.
• If you rush to expose people, do not feel secure from your own faults being exposed.
So seek Allah's mercy by showing mercy to His creation. The Day will come when every one of us will desperately need Allah's forgiveness.

| 15 | Allah commands the believers in surah al-Nisa':
[وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۚ لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبُوا ۖ وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبْنَ ۚ وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِن فَضْلِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا]
And wish not for the things in which Allah has made some of you to excel others. For men is a share of what they have earned, and for women is a share of what they have earned. And ask Allah of His bounty. Surely, Allah is Ever All-Knower of everything. [32]
In his tafsir of this ayah, sheikh Faysal Aal Mubarak wrote: Ibn 'Abbaas said: No man should wish by saying, "Woe is me, if only I had the wealth and family of so-and-so!" Allah forbade doing that. Instead, a person should ask Allah for His bounty.
Ibn Sireen said: You have been forbidden from idle wishing and instead directed to something better than that - "And ask Allah of His bounty. Surely, Allah is Ever All-Knower of everything."
[Tawfiq al-Rahman 1/261] | 132 |
| 16 | Allah is With the Broken Heart
There are wounds that no eye can see.
A smile may conceal them. A voice may hide them. But Allah knows every crack in every heart.
The broken heart is never abandoned by Allah. It is often the closest heart to Him, because it has nowhere else to turn.
﴿مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ﴾
“No calamity befalls, but by the Leave (i.e. Decision and Qadar) of Allah, and whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart.”
— [Surah At-Taghabun 64:11]
When Allah guides the heart, He does not always remove the trial. Rather, He fills the heart with certainty, tranquility, and reliance upon Him.
The heart is not a small part of you, it is the king of your body.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Verily, in the body there is a piece of flesh which, if it is sound, the whole body is sound; and if it is corrupted, the whole body is corrupted. Verily, it is the heart.”
— Bukhārī & Muslim
Guard your heart more than you guard your wealth.
Do not allow hatred, jealousy, envy, rancor, or revenge to settle within it.
The people of Paradise are those whose hearts are purified.
Allah says:
﴿وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ﴾
“And We shall remove from their breasts any deep feeling of bitterness (that they may have), (so they will be like) brothers facing each other on thrones.”
— [Surah Al-Hijr 15:47]
A heart filled with Allah has no room for the diseases that destroy souls.
Perhaps your wings feel broken today.
Perhaps you feel exhausted from carrying burdens no one knows except Allah.
Do not think your brokenness distances you from your Lord. It may be the very reason you are nearest to Him.
Allah does not look at your appearance or your possessions.
He looks at your heart.
And Allah praises those who truly benefit from His reminders:
﴿إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُۥ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّمْعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ﴾
“Verily, therein is indeed a reminder for him who has a heart or gives ear while he is heedful.”
— [Surah Qāf 50:37]
Your heart may be wounded, but do not let it become hard.
A broken heart that turns to Allah is far more beloved than a proud heart that feels no need of Him.
Keep returning to Allah.
He is the One who mends what no one else can mend.
May Allah heal every broken heart, purify our hearts from every disease, fill them with īmān, contentment, sincerity and love for Him, and make us among the people of Paradise whose hearts are free from hatred, envy and rancor. Āmīn.
— Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allaah, send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
Remember to keep the ummah in your prayers. The sick, the needy, the orphans, mujahideen and the prisoners.
(May Allah hasten their release)
•Don't Forget to recite Surah Kahf | 170 |
| 20 | "We follow only the Qur'an and Sunnah."
At first, this sounds correct. But the real question is:
Whose understanding of the Qur'an and Sunnah?
The Qur'an and Sunnah are not understood according to our personal opinions or desires. They are understood through the way taught by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to his Companions, then conveyed by the Companions to the Tabi'in, then to the Tabi' al-Tabi'in, and then preserved and explained by the great Imams of this Ummah.
The path is clear:
The Prophet ﷺ → The Companions → The Tabi'in → The Tabi' al-Tabi'in → The great Imams of Islam.
Whoever merely says, "I follow only the Qur'an and Sunnah," without referring to the understanding of the righteous early generations (al-Salaf al-Salih), leaves the door open to interpreting the religion according to personal reasoning.
The correct approach is not simply to claim adherence to the Qur'an and Sunnah, but to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah as they were understood and practiced by the Prophet ﷺ and the earliest generations of this Ummah.
"The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them." (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
May Allah guide us to the truth and keep us firm upon the path of the Prophet ﷺ and his righteous predecessors. | 202 |
