Unfolded Guidance

اخف حسناتك كما تخفي سيئاتك Hide your good deeds as you hide your sins.

It weighs heavily on the believer to mourn the people of Islam, while being unable to ward off what has befallen them. His pain is alleviated by his knowledge that the judgment belongs to Allāh, and He is All-Aware of His servants. His wrath cannot be averted from the wrongdoing people, and the whip of His wrath befalls by His wisdom, Glory be to Him. He has an appointed time for it. So he supplicates for relief for the afflicted, and strives with what he is capable of to defend the stricken. شيخنا: صالح بن عبد الله العصيمي (حفظه الله تعالى)

O soul, it is but days’ worth of patience whose period is as long as a dream O soul, give up the worldly life and leave it, because [real] life is ahead — Imām Al-Shāfi’ī رحمه الله [Captured Thoughts by Imām Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله pg. 942]

اللَّهُمَّ انْصُرْ أَهْلَ غَزَّةَ نَصْرًا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ يُغْنِيهِمْ عَنْ نَصْرٍ مِنْ سِواكَ ، Ya Allāh, grant victory to the people of Gaza with a victory from Yourself that makes them not need victory from anyone else. اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ شُهَداءَهُمْ وَاشْفِ جَرْحاهُمْ وَارْبُطْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْزِلِ السَّكِينَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، Ya Allāh, accept their martyrs, heal their wounded, strengthen their hearts, and bestow tranquility upon them اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنا فِي الْيَهُودِ الْمُحْتَلِّينَ عَجائِبَ قُدْرَتِكَ وَفَجْأَةَ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعَ سَخَطِكَ ، اللَّهُمَّ اهْزِمْهُمْ وَزَلْزِلْهُمْ . Ya Allāh, show us through the occupying Jews the wonders of Your power, the suddenness of Your wrath, and the fullness of Your anger. Ya Allāh, defeat them and shake them. اللهم إنَّا لا نملك لِـ غزة إلَّا الدعاء ؛ يا ربِّ لا ترُدَّ لنا دُعاء ولا تُخَيِّب لنا رجاء وأنت أرحمُ الراحمين Ya Allāh , we have nothing for Gaza except prayers. Ya Rabb, do not reject our prayers, and do not disappoint our hopes, for You are the Most Merciful of the merciful. آمين يا رب

how strange is man, who persistently runs away from his Rabb's decree as if he can find anything better than it.

🎙شيخ عبد الرزاق البدر حفظه الله

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَـٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِى ٱتَّخَذُواْ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مَهۡجُورً۬ا And the Messenger (ﷺ) will say, "O my Lord! Indeed, my people have taken this Qur'an as (a thing) abandoned (i.e., avoiding it, not listening to or understanding it, not living by it, or prefering something else over it. [Surah al Furqaan : 30]

At the end of Ramadan, we all think: "If only I had done more!" So imagine the regret at the end of our lives.
