Jannah is Our Dream

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said: "Whoever wants to be the richest of people, let him trust what's in Allah's Hand more than his own." [Ibn Taymiyyah's Fatawa v13,p321]

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah Rahimahullah; "If a person wakes up and goes to sleep with their only concern being Allah, then He will take care of all their needs and free them from all their worries. He will empty their heart so it can be filled with love for Him; He will free their tongue to be used in His remembrance, and He will make their limbs act in obedience to Him." [Al-Fawaid p.121]

Imam Bukhaari (May Allah have mercy upon him) The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said "May Allah cause his face to shine, the man who hears a Hadith from us and conveys it" [Ibn Majah] There were around 400 scholars of Hadith in Samarqand, and they all gathered together to try to cause Muhammad bin Isma’il al-Bukhari رحمه الله to make a mistake. So, in order to test him, they mixed the chains of hadeeth from Sham with the chains of Iraq, and the chains of Iraq with the chains of Sham, and the chains of the Haram with the chains of Yemen. With all of this, they were unable to cause him to make a single mistake.” [Hadi as-Sari]

SIGNS OF A PURE AND HEALTHY HEART Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: ● "One considers himself as belonging to the next world and not this world. He is a stranger in this world anxious to reach his abode in the Hereafter ● One continues to be upset with himself anytime he commits a sin until he finally and completely repents to ALLĀH ● One is more upset and unhappy if he misses his daily recitation of the Qur’an and dhikr, than if he had lost his wealth ● One finds greater pleasure worshiping ALLĀH than any pleasure in eating and drinking ● One's worries and concerns about this world leave him whenever he begins his formal prayers ● One's only concern and worries are about ALLĀH and doing deeds only for HIS sake ● One is more concerned and stingy about wasting time than a greedy person is with respect to his wealth ● One is more concerned about the correctness of his deeds than with the performance of the deeds themselves" 📖 Ighātha al-Lahfā (1/70-73)

Stay true to your Fitrah (pure soul). Act with Ikhlas (sincerity) and do not be swayed by the opinions of people; their praise cannot benefit you and their criticism cannot harm you without the will of Allāh.

The one who betrays the oppressed is a partner of the oppressor. Most oppressors, if it wasn’t for silence they would not have oppressed. خاذل المظلوم شريك مع الظالم، فأكثر الظالمين لولا السكوت ما ظلموا

Imam Awzaa'i رحمه الله said, “A time will come upon the people in which the least to be found would be: A friendly brother or a Halal Dirham or an action from the Sunnah.” [الزهد للإمام أحمد ٩٦٤]

Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “The Salaf (rıghteous predecessors) disliked that one sleeps between the times of Fajr and sunrise because it is the time of gain and the distribution of provision and blessings (by Allah).” 📚(Madaarij As-Saalikeen (457/1))

‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضي الله عنه said, "The world is an abode for whom (in reality) there is no abode, a wealth for one who has no wealth and the one who has no intelligence gathers it.” [Kitab az-Zuhd of Imam Ahmad, 883]

Sheikh al-‘Uthaymeen Rahimahullah said; A person should bear this in mind while praying the Fajr prayer. "And it is that the angels entrusted with protecting the children of Adam are gathered together in this prayer." 📚 [Sharh al-Kaafi’ah al-Shaafi’ah 85/2]

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah” [ar-Ra‘d 13:11] ‘Ikrimah narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that he said: “They guard him by the Command of Allah” – this refers to angels who protect him from in front and from behind, but when the decree of Allah comes, they step back." Mujaahid said: "There is no person who does not have an angel appointed over him, to protect him whilst he sleeps and when he is awake from the jinn, humans and vermin, so none of them come towards him, intending him ill, but the angel says: Get back – except for something that Allah decrees is to reach him, then it befalls him." [Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 4/438]

Every time you recite the Quran and your eyes fall upon the name “Allah”, stop for a moment and repeat that aayah. Repeat it again and again. Within those aayaat lies a cure for a heart that has been polluted by this world, by its temptations and evil desires. Every mention of Allah in the Quran is a reminder and a calling back to your origin and purpose. The more you repeat His Name, the more your heart is washed and revived. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: الدنيا ملعونة ملعون ما فيها إلا ذكر الله وما والاه وعالِماً ومتعلماً “This worldly life is cursed, and everything in it is cursed, except the remembrance of Allah, and what relates to it, and a scholar, and a student of knowledge.” So when you come across the Name “Allah”, you are in the midst of that very remembrance that the Prophet ﷺ described as the only thing blessed in this world.

Before blaming them for a mistake, ask yourself whether you gave them enough guidance. Before demanding good character from your children, demonstrate it through your own behaviour. 📢 Let us protect our children through awareness, not rumours; through guidance, not humiliation; and through responsibility, not neglect. May Allah guide our families, protect our children, strengthen our moral values, and help us raise a generation that combines knowledge with character. Ameen.

Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever sees an evil action, he must change it with his hand. If he is not able to do so, then he must change it with his tongue. If he is not able to do so then he must change it with his heart..." (صحيح مسلم ٤٩)

Many today cling to their wealth, pretending they are poor when asked for help, yet spending freely on luxuries branded items, entertainment, and expensive holidays. Some even give charity or Zakāt only to show off on social media, seeking praise from people instead of Allāh. The Qur’ān warns against this hypocrisy: those who promise to give if blessed, but when Allāh provides, they become stingy and turn away. Such behavior plants hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they meet Allāh. Their wealth and children, which they boast of, may become a means of punishment rather than blessing. Wealth is a trust, not a display. Hiding behind excuses while living in extravagance only exposes hypocrisy. True righteousness is to give sincerely for Allāh’s sake, whether in abundance or little, without showing off. Sūrah At-Tawbah Verses 75-85 Shaykh Munīr As-Saʿdī

Prophet صللہ علیہ وسلم said; "My Ummah will have no punishment in the next world, but it's punishment in this world will be trials, earthquakes and being killed." 📚 (سنن أبي داود ٤٢٧٨)

The best example whom the Muslim can follow and in whose footsteps he can walk is صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ the Prophet Allah عَزَّوَجَلٌ says: {There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often} [al-Ahzab 33:21]. Ibn Katheer رحمة الله said: This verse is the basis for following the example of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم in his words and deeds and in all situations.

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه اللّٰه 𝗌𝖺𝗂𝖽: “The just amongst men is the one who informs of an affair the way it is; He neither adds to it and becomes a liar, nor does he subtract from it and becomes a concealer.” 📖 Majmu’ al-Fatawa 20/84

Sufyaan ath-Thawri: "If someone invites you to meet with him, and you fear that he will corrupt your heart and your religion, then do not answer to his invitation." [Biography of Sufyaan ath-Thawree, p. 144]

The Cure for the Madness Around Us Abū Muslim al-Khawlānī رحمه الله used to remember Allah frequently. A man once saw him engaged in dhikr and asked: “Is this man mad?” Abū Muslim heard him and replied: “This is not madness, my son. Rather, this is the cure for madness!” — Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Wābil al-Ṣayyib What a powerful answer. In a world filled with noise, anxiety, distractions, desires, and endless demands on the heart, dhikr is not an escape from reality—it is what keeps the heart grounded within it. ﴿أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ﴾ “Surely, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” [Qur’an 13:28] Sometimes what looks excessive to others may be exactly the medicine your heart needs. Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah.
