Reflections For Myself

Qatādah ibn Di'amah رحمه الله said: باب من العلم يحفظه الرجل لصلاح نفسه وصلاح من بعده، أفضل من عبادة حول "A portion of knowledge that a person memorises for his own betterment and for the welfare of others, is better than offering (voluntary) ibādah for a year." [مسند ابن الجعد]

Of course, you are scared. But that thing you've been on the fence about? Do it anyway So often we get caught up in our fears and anxieties, the what ifs and the maybes, that we don’t take the opportunities that are right in front of us. Be it having a hard conversation, quitting your job, taking on a new one or moving to a new place...just do it. Being afraid is okay, but do it anyway.

“The body without Qur’an is a tomb” When you have no Qur’an, your soul dies. Your body becomes a walking talking tomb for your dead soul. So what’s your relationship with the Qur’an? [@ beardedfella_____ ]

"Comparison is the thief of joy" [Theodore Roosevelt] Reality is, each of us has been bestowed with blessings from Allāh. Our blessings maybe different.

This week is mental health awareness week It is important to take care of your mental health and look out for the mental wellbeing of others. If you are worried or feel down, seek help and remember, people with mental illness do get better with the right help and support.

Words from Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Ibn Uthaymīn رحمه الله

Words From Shaykh-ul-Ḥādith Mawlānā Salīm Dhorat حفظه الله: - People who are older and widowed should marry again, because they need companionship. - It is good for the children to encourage their parent to get re-married. There are certain things that a husband/wife can only discuss with their spouse, and not their children. - When someone gets re-married, it does not mean that they have forgotten their first spouse. Rather, the first spouse who has passed away is happy that their spouse has re-married, and isn't spending their life in sadness over their passing. [@ _AbdurRaahman]

CALLING ALL SINNERS. Note: A Copula is a pronoun that comes between a predicate and subject in English Grammar. In Arabic Grammar it is the same as well as emphasising the subject.

Every soul will taste death. The elderly, the young, the rich, the poor, the humble and the arrogant. If this is everyone’s end, then glad tidings to the ones who have found Allāh ﷻ and spent their lives striving to perfect their worship to Allāh ﷻ, to call to the truth and to benefit mankind.
