Enjoining what is right and forbidden what is wrong is a great act of worship.

Shaytan Hates the Happy Marriage! Imām Ibn al-Qayyim (Raḥmatu ’llāhi ‘alay-hi)  said: This bond between the husband & wife is from the most beloved of affairs to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ, so it is from the most hated of affairs to the enemy of Allāh (Shaytan).

💡Rawdatul-Muhibeen

قال الإمام أحمد بن حنبل رحمه الله تعالى: " من ترك الوتر عمدًا فهو رجل سـوء ". Imām Ahmad bin Hambal رحمه الله تعالى said: "Whoever leaves witr intentionally is a bad man." 📚:درء تعارض العقل والنّقل(٨/٦٧)

يَقُولُ الإِمَامُ الحَسَنُ البَصْرِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: «تفقدوا الحلاوة في ثلاث: في الصلاة ، وفي القرآن، وفي الذكر ، فإن وجدتموها فامضوا، وأبشروا، فإن لم تجدوها، فاعلم أنَّ بابَكَ مُغلَقُ ». Hasan Al-Basri رحمه الله said: "Check for sweetness in three things: in prayer, in the Quran, and in remembrance of Allah. If you find it, continue and rejoice. If you do not find it, know that your door is closed." يقول الشيخ السعدي رحمه الله: حقيق بها وحري ألا تطمئن لشيء سوى ذكره سبحانه، فإنَّه لا شيء ألذ للقلوب، ولا أشهى، ولا أحلى من محبة خالقها، والأنس به ومعرفته، وعلى قدر معرفتها بالله، ومحبتها له، يكون ذكرها له. As Sadi said: "It is truly fitting and worthy that one should not find peace in anything except in His remembrance, for there is nothing sweeter for the hearts, nor more delightful, nor more enjoyable than the love of its Creator, and finding comfort in Him and knowing Him. To the extent of one's knowledge of Allah and love for Him, will be the extent of their remembrance of Him." «تفسير السعدي» (ص ٤١٧).

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali reports that some of the salaf used to say: When I am afflicted with a calamity, I praise Allah four times:  I praise Allah for it not being worse than it is,  I praise Allah that He provided me with the ability to bear it patiently,  I praise Him for granting me the accord to say, ‘Verily to Allah do we belong and to Him do we return’,  and I praise Him for not making the tribulation in my religion. [Majmoo’ al-Rasaa’il Ibn Rajab vol. 3 p. 155]

Our role models were never just trends. Khadijah رضي الله عنها ran a successful business and supported the Prophet ﷺ Aisha رضي الله عنها taught half our Deen to the Sahaba Nusaybah رضي الله عنها defended the Prophet ﷺ on the battlefield of Uhud This is the legacy of a Muslim woman. Strong. Knowledgeable. Fearless. Islam never limited women. It empowered them to be leaders, learners, and protectors of the Deen. رضي الله عنهن Who do our daughters look up to today?

"من السنّة أن تتخذو كنية لأنفسكم حتَّى وأن لم تكونوا متزوجين/متزوجات" "It is from the Sunnah to adopt a Kunyah (teknonym) for yourselves even if you are not married." ​ "مَا كُنيتك؟ ​"What is your Kunyah?

​" Stick to this remembrance day and night, and remember that there is a great difference between taking your time with it and feeling it, versus rushing and having a distracted mind while repeating it. 👌" ​ "How strange it is for someone who knocks on the door of his Lord every day a hundred times with 'There is no God but Allah alone, with no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things' and then thinks it will not be opened for him?" ​

​ "We have neglected so many palm trees! The Prophet said: 'Glory be to Allah the Almighty and with His praise, a palm tree is planted for him in Paradise.' The view of these worldly palm trees is beautiful, so what about the beauty of the palm trees of Paradise?! O Allah, grant us Paradise and its bounties 💚"

He is One and He has no partner with Him; His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent),' he will have a reward equivalent to that for emancipating ten slaves, a hundred good deeds will be recorded to his credit, hundred of his sins will be blotted out from his scroll, and he will be safeguarded against the devil on that day till the evening; and no one will exceed him in doing more excellent good deeds except someone who has recited these words more often than him. And he who utters: 'Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)' one hundred times a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

​« الْوَاجِبُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمَةِ أَنْ تَكُونَ مُؤَثِّرَةً وَأَلَّا تَتَأَثَّرَ بِغَيْرِهَا ، فَأُولَئِكَ أَتْبَاعُ كُلِّ نَاعِقٍ ، وَأَنْتِ دَاعِيَةٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُؤَثِّرِي عَلَى الْمُجْتَمَعِ وَلَا تَتَأَثَّرِي بِالْمُجْتَمَعِ. » — الشيخ مقبل الوادعي رحمه الله ​ ​"It is mandatory upon a Muslim woman to be influential and not to be negatively influenced by others; for those [who are easily influenced] follow every caller. As a caller to Allah, you should influence society rather than let society influence you." — Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi'i (may Allah have mercy on him)
