Jannah is Our Dream

When Alexander the Great was on his deathbed, he reportedly gave his army three strange instructions. First, let the best doctors carry his coffin. Why? To show that when death comes, even the greatest physicians in the world are powerless. Second, let his hands hang outside the coffin. To show everyone that you can spend your entire life chasing power and wealth, but you leave this world with nothing. And third, scatter his wealth along the road to his grave. Gold. Treasures. Everything he conquered. Let everyone see it. Because none of it could follow him. Alexander conquered one of the largest empires the ancient world had ever seen. Yet in the end, he took nothing with him. That might be the greatest reminder of all: Build your life. Build your wealth. Build your legacy. Just never forget that you don’t own any of it forever.

Sufyan ath-Thawri (رحمة الله) said: "Innovations are more beloved to shaitan than sin, since a sin may be repented from but an innovation is not repented from. This is because the innovator believes he is doing something good and therefore sees no need to repent." He also said: "…so cling to the original state of affairs." (meaning the way of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions.) 📚: Sharh Usool I’tiqaad of al-Laalikaaee no.238 | Al-Hilya 6/376.

The time between #Fajr and #Sunrise: 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 Allaah).” (Madaarij As-Saalikeen (457/1)) "The cure of the heart is found in 5 elements: Reading Qurān and reflecting upon it, having an empty stomach (eating less), Qīyam Al Layl (Night prayer), Supplication #prior to #sunrise, and the company of the righteous" - Ibrahīm Al Qawās. رحمه الله.

Allah afflicts one of the Muslim countries to test the Islam of the rest of the countries, are they alive or dead? Because the Ummah is like a body; if one part does not feel the pain of another then it is either drugged or dead. يبتلي الله بلداً من بلدان المسلمين ليختبر إسلام بقيّة البلدان أحي أم ميّت، لأن الأمة كالجسد إذا لم يتألم عضو لعضو فهو مخدّر أو ميّت

Every time you give for the sake of Allah it’s not a loss it’s an investment in barakah You may not always see it in numbers But you’ll feel it in peace In contentment In doors that open In needs that are met before you even ask ⠀ Sadaqah doesn’t decrease your wealth. It multiplies it in ways only Allah can measure. ⠀ Even the smallest act of giving is seen by Him None of it is wasted ⠀ Keep giving, and keep trusting Because what Allah gives in return is always better ⠀ The Prophet ﷺ said: “Charity does not decrease wealth.” [Sahih Muslim 2588] ⠀

Pakistani dramas. Next level propaganda and programming of young girls for Radical feminist ideas: 1- Women MUST do EVERYTHING a man can, to prove their worth. 2- A truly brave and empowered woman is the self made woman who travelled all alone to a foreign country for further education and now serving in a multinational. 3- Men and women should freely mixup as there is absolutely no difference between them and this is necessary for being similar to a man. 4- “Good men” are those who have absolutely no problem in their womenfolk doing whatever they want, dressing however they want, and facilitate them in doing WHATEVER they want. Everyone else is an insecure and toxic man. 5- Pakistani culture and family system is the worst in the world and every father is a conservative male chauvinist who has subjugated his wife all her life. Sometimes the propaganda is so funny and cheap, it reminds of the Bollywood propaganda against Pakistani Muslims when they show a Muslim character with surma in eyes, white topi on head, rumaal on shoulder and “Salam bhaijaan” and “adaab mamu jaan”.

Islam teaches the poor three powerful things: 1- Accept Allah’s decree with patience and recognise that Allah may place wisdom and benefit in something a person initially dislikes: وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ “Perhaps you dislike something while it is good for you.” (Surah Al-Baqarah: 216). This does not mean sitting around doing nothing. Ask Allah to remove your poverty and take the halal means Allah has provided: work, learn, strive, and pursue suitable opportunities. True tawakkul is trusting Allah while taking action. This protects a person from depending on people, strengthens them, and fights laziness. 2- Do not envy what others have. Allah says: وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ… وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِن فَضْلِهِ “Do not wish for what Allah has given some of you over others… rather, ask Allah from His bounty.” Someone else’s wealth does not reduce what Allah can give you. 3- Learn contentment and live wisely. Sometimes the problem is not only how much you earn, but how you manage what Allah has already given you. A small income with wise spending can go a long way. You will find many poor people who live with moderation and contentment who are more at ease than wealthy people obsessed with increasing their wealth. And in the end, true poverty is not having little. True poverty is the poverty of the heart, when a person is never satisfied, always comparing, always wanting more. And true richness is not having a lot. True richness is the richness of the heart, when a person is content with what Allah has decreed, grateful for what He has given, and trusts Him for what is yet to come. A person may own very little and still be rich. And a person may own everything and still feel poor.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “People whose hearts are like the hearts of birds will enter Paradise.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (2840)] Imām al-Nawawī رحمه الله commented: “It is said to mean those who rely upon Allāh, or those who have soft hearts.” ● [Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn (1/45)]

Speaking the truth isn't always gentle sometimes it hurts people, sometimes it makes things uncomfortable but in Islam, truth was never meant to be sugar-coated. We're taught to stand by what's right even when it costs us approval, because pleasing people means nothing if it comes at the expense of honesty. Truth builds integrity, protects the soul, and keeps us aligned with Allah, even when others don't like hearing it.

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said: ‎“And if Allāh assigns you to serve a purpose, He will prepare you for it.” ‎[Sayd al-Khateer | 299/862]

STAGES OF HUMAN LIFE Dunya: 60-70 years Barzakh: thousands of years Day of Judgment: 50,000 years Akhirah: that which has no end Think carefully and prioritize correctly!

How stupid are we, that we give up our actual life(Ākhira) , for a mere delusion (Dunyā), because we think we are missing out on something سبحان الله Imagine how will we feel on Yawm al-Qiyāmah when we see others enter Jannah. Will the enjoyments of this dunyā then be worth it?

TRUE BEAUTY Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [رحمه الله] said: “For how many were there that were not of handsome appearance, however through the performance of righteous deeds his beauty and attractiveness intensified until that became manifest upon his appearance.” [Al-Istiqaamah, (1/364) | Translated By Abū Haatim M. Farooq]

WHO CELEBRATED THE BIRTHDAY OF THE PROPHET OF ALLAH ﷺ ▪︎Did Allah سبحانه وتعال command it? ▪︎Did the Prophet ﷺ himself do it? ▪︎Did the four Khulafha do it? ▪︎Did the ten Asha'rul Mubash'shireen do it? ▪︎Did the Umm'hathul Mumineen do it? ▪︎Did grandchildren Hassen and Hussein do it? ▪︎Did the Sahabah at Farewell Hajj do it? ▪︎Did any of the Tabi'oon do it. ▪︎Did any of the Atba-Tabi'oon do it? ▪︎Did the four imams of the madhabs do it? ▪︎Did the six imams of Hadeeth do it? None of the above celebrated the birthday of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ.Then who introduced this reprehensible innovation??? FATHIMID SHIA The Fathimid Shia introduced it, we wish to say this quite catagorically: Those who celebrate the supposed birthday of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ are in reality following the bid'ah of the Shia. The very people who used horrible, nasty and atrocious terms and language to describe the Sahabah and Umm'hathul Mumineen, those who believe that the Qur'an is incomplete, those who believe that their imams know the unseen and more. Atleast now O Sunni will you desist in engaging in this sinful innovation AL IHSAAN CENTRE.

"How did you have that much discipline in your weight loss diet?" : I always think of this hadith The Prophet ﷺ said: “A human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat a few morsels that keep his back straight. If he must eat more, then one-third for food, one-third for drink, and one-third for air.” — Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi 2380 I don't make food my way of satisfaction, my entertainment when I'm bored, or my emotional support when I feel empty. I only see it now as a fuel to my body. Do not starve yourself, but also do not over eat. Look into prophetic ways of maintaining a healthy weight In sha Allah it should help.

🌟Due to their ignorance🌟 Earlier a statement of Shaikh Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله was posted on how oppression and ignorance are root of every evil. Here is another example of how people oppress themselves out of ignorance: وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا وَاللَّـهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّـهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ {And when they commit a Faahishah (i.e. every kind of evil and immoral deed), they say: "We found our fathers doing it, and Allaah has commanded us of it." Say: "Nay, Allaah never commands of Faahishah. DO YOU SAY OF ALLAAH WHAT YOU KNOW NOT?} 📚 [ Surah al-Araaf (7): 28] 💢💢💢 🎓Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said: ❝Many Muslims see good deeds as evil and evil deeds as good and acts of Sunnah as Bidah while Bidah are regarded as Sunnah due to their ignorance and negligence of Islaamic teachings, morals and deeds. إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون (Truly, to Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return).❞ [Majmoo al-Fataawaa of Shaikh Ibn Baaz (5/192)]

Abu Dharr reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, instruct me.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I advise you to be mindful of Allah Almighty, for it will beautify all of your affairs.” I said, “Tell me more.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “You must recite the Quran and remember Allah Almighty, for you will be mentioned in heaven and you will have light upon earth.” I said, “Tell me more.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “You must observe long periods of silence, for it will drive away Satan and help you in the matter of your religion.” I said, “Tell me more.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Beware of too much laughter, for it will deaden the heart and take away the light on your face.” I said, “Tell me more.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Do not fear the blame of any critic in the matter of Allah.” Source: Shu’ab al-Imān 4582 Grade: Sahih li gharyi (authentic due to external evidence) according to Al-Albani

Musa عليه السلام only had a stick. Yunus عليه السلام had nothing but a Dua. Nuh عليه السلام built a wooden ark with nails, while the whole world was drowning. Their means were simple, but their certainty in Allah was powerful. It was never about the resources. It was always about the Tawakul (reliance upon Allah). No matter how weak you feel or how limited your options seem, keep your heart tied to Allah. Like Musa عليه السلام said when trapped between the sea and Pharaoh: إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ “Indeed, my Lord is with me, and He will guide me.” (Surah Ash-Shuaraa:62).

Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allāh have mercy on him, said: “Seek out your heart in three places: when listening to the Quran, in the gatherings of remembrance, and when in privacy, and if you do not find it in these places, then ask Allaah to grant you a heart for verily, you do not have one.” [Fawaaidul-Fawaaid, p. 479.]

Praise can be a Test. Dislike being praised. Praise is dangerous, it creeps into your heart and poisons your ikhlas without you even realizing. Dont seek it, dont enjoy it, and dont let it grow. When people praise you, remind yourself: “These are not my virtues. Whatever good they see in me is nothing but the favour of Allah. And what they don’t see, my faults, are only hidden by His mercy.” Dont be fooled by kind words. Had Allāh exposed even a glimpse of your inner self, the very people who praise you would turn away in disgust. What they admire is not you, its what Allah has concealed. So when praise comes your way, dont smile in pride, tremble in gratitude. Not because people think highly of you, but because your reality is still veiled. Stay humble. Stay hidden. Seek acceptance from Allāh, not from people.
