👫 appreciate the feelings of loneliness, where you do not need to care abt anyone’s feelings, you just need to care about yours and that is what that matters. sometimes, loneliness is just what you needed.

Tears well up and longing overwhelms our hearts, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ…

Let us not confine our love and remembrance of you only to the blessed month of Rabi‘ul Awwal. Continue sending salutations upon Nabi Muhammad ﷺ throughout the year. Continue nurturing love for him ﷺ in our hearts. Continue learning about his noble life and seerah. Continue attending gatherings of knowledge where his ﷺ light is remembered. Continue reading As-Syamā’il al-Muḥammadiyyah to emulate the beautiful character and noble qualities of our beloved Prophet ﷺ. Let today be the moment we strive to attain His (Allah’s) love. Let today be the turning point where we leave behind our bad habits and walk towards goodness. As a reminder from Deputy Mufti, Ustaz Dr Izal Mustafa from yesterday’s Majlis mawlid, we must truly understand what it means to love Rasulullah ﷺ. Love is not only in words but in actions. It is to follow, to obey, to defend, and to embody his teachings in every corner of our lives. Love is to feel pain when his Sunnah is abandoned, and joy when his Sunnah is revived. Love is to remember him in our solitude, to cry in longing for his presence, and to yearn to be in his blessed company on the Day of Judgment. Why must we love him? Because it was through him that Allah guided us from darkness to light, from ignorance to faith, from despair to hope. He ﷺ cried for us even before we were born, praying for his ummah through the nights while his feet swelled in prayer. He ﷺ endured hunger, hardship, insults, and battles, not for himself, but so that you and I could say La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah today. If not for his sacrifices, we would not know Allah, nor the sweetness of Islam, nor the path to Jannah. For those who are just beginning their hijrah—do not feel overwhelmed. Every step you take towards Allah and His Messenger ﷺ is witnessed by the angels. Even if you stumble, even if you fall, as long as you keep moving forward, Allah’s mercy will embrace you. Remember , love for Rasulullah ﷺ begins with small, consistent actions: a simple salawat on your lips, a quiet dua in the night, learning a single Sunnah and practicing it with sincerity. Over time, that love will grow until it fills your heart. True love is proven through sacrifice—sacrificing our ego, our desires, and our old habits for the sake of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. It means choosing modesty over vanity, patience over anger, honesty over deceit, and kindness over cruelty. It means carrying his ﷺ teachings in our daily lives, so that when people see us, they are reminded of the beauty of Islam. So let us ask ourselves sincerely—have we truly loved him? If we claim to love, let us prove it with our hearts, our tongues, and our actions. And may Allah make us among those who are resurrected under his banner, Al-Liwā’ al-Ḥamd, drinking from his blessed hands at the Ḥawḍ al-Kawthar, never to thirst again. 🤲🏻 O Allah, grant us the love of Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the love of those who love him, and the love of every deed that brings us closer to his love. O Allah, do not deprive us of his intercession, nor of gazing upon his noble face, nor of sitting under his banner on the Day of Judgment. O Allah, make us of the people of his Sunnah, those who hold firm to his way, those who yearn for him, and those who will be gathered with him in the gardens of bliss with his family and companions. O Allah, deliver our greetings to him, and let him receive from us a thousand prayers and a thousand salutations, O Lord of the worlds. اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين

Friday Sunnah Reminders 🤍📿 We all know how special Jumaah (Friday) is in our Deen but we need reminders from time to time to recall the magnanimity of this golden day. Friday is no average day for Muslims. It has the honor of being called ‘best day of the week’ by the best person to ever exist- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. 1. Send extra selawat to Rasulullah Rasulullah ﷺ said : “The person closest to me on the Day of Resurrection is the one who sent the most Selawat upon me.” 🖤 [ Sunan Al-Tirmidhi 484 ] 2. Read Surah Al-Kahfi We can read: A. The first 10 Ayahs of Surah Al-Kahf B. The last 10 Ayahs of Surah Al-Kahf C. Both A and B D. Ideally, the complete Surah Al-Kahf. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever reads Surah Al-Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays.” [ Narrated by al-Haakim; Grade Sahih by al-Albaani ] 3. Mandi Jumaat [ Jumaah Shower ] Abu Sa’id Al-Khudr reports: I testify that Allah’s Messenger said, ‘The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim who has attained the age of puberty and also cleaning of teeth with Siwak and using perfume, if available’. [ Sahih Bukhari ] 4. Use Fragance & New Piece of Clothings. “Put on your adornment on every occasion of prayer” [ Surat al-A’raf 7: 31 ] 5. Berdoa to Allah [ Send supplications to Allah ] 6. Trimming your nails Abu Hurayrah R.A. reported that ‘Five are the demonstrations of fitrah (nature/ instinct): 1. circumcision, 2. evacuating the hair underneath the navel, 3. trimming the mustache, 4. trimming the nails, and 5. culling the hair under the arms.’ 7. Make lots of Dua between Asr & Maghrib “There is a special hour on Friday, during which all prayers are accepted and answered by Allah, all Glory and Praise be to Him. This is part of the blessings that Allah has blessed this day with, over all the other days of the week. “On this day there is a time when no Muslim stands and prays, asking Allah for something, but Allah will grant him it” – and he gestured with his hands to indicate how short that time is. [ Bukhari and Muslim ] Ibn Al-Qayyim said that this golden hour is to be found in the time after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib Azan (end of day): “Friday has twelve hours (or part of it). There is one hour during which if a Muslim asks Allah anything, Allah will give it to him, so find it during the last hour after Asr.” [ Abu Dawud & An-Nasai ] Let’s do the virtues of Friday together! insha allah, if you can’t do everything, it’s okayy, don’t leave everything out okay. may Allah ease your affairs. 🕊 MD. @selfreflectionforummah

Salam Maulidur Rasul ! 💚

Bismillah, Are you thinking of someone right now? that person you love for the sake of Allah? What does it truly mean to love someone for the sake of Allah? It is not simply about casual conversations or reminding one another to pray. It is not about saying, “As long as we maintain a halal distance, we’re fine,” or seeing each other occasionally while still remembering Allah. No. As long as there is no marriage bond, such a relationship remains impermissible. So, what does it really mean? It means stepping back, no matter how much you want them in your life. It means cutting off unnecessary contact, refraining from communication, and not meeting for the time being. Why? Because if you truly love someone for the sake of Allah, you would never want them or yourself to be led towards sin or the Hellfire. Among the seven types of people who will be under the Shade of Allah on the Day of Judgement are two people who love one another purely for His sake. ✨ Your priority now should be Allah. He is the Best of Planners. If the person you love is truly meant for you, Allah will never separate the two of you. Focus on your worship (‘ibadah) and your efforts (ikhtiar). Focus on yourself and your relationship with your Creator first. May we all Istiqomah in striving for Allah’s pleasure, mercy, and forgiveness. Āmīn Yā Rabb al-‘Ālamīn.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: “He who alleviates the suffering of a brother out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his suffering from the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection…” (Muslim 2699)

🥥 do not be emotionally attached to a person, do know that whatever happens, there will be a time where they will leave you, either by separation or by death. Qadrullah.

"You may feel alone, but you've never been abandoned." People pull away, Plans change. Rooms feel empty. But Allah? He stays. Always. Even in the loneliest moments, He surrounds you with mercy. You're never truly by yourself, you're just being drawn to the One who never leaves.

Allah never allow pain without a purpose 🤍 Every hardship carries wisdom, even if it is hidden from our eyes. Allah reminds us: “For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.” (Surah Ash-Sharh 94:5-6). Trials are a way for our sins to be forgiven, our hearts to be purified, and our ranks to be raised in the Hereafter. What we see as pain may, in reality, be Allah’s mercy guiding us, and preparing us for something greater. 🤍

“Carilah ilmu seakan-akan tiada hari esok, dan carilah akhirat seakan-akan akhirat itu esok.”

قمر قمر # قمر سيدنا النّبيّ قمر Moon, oh moon # The likeness of our Prophet is like the moon وجميل وجميل # وجميل سيدنا النّبيّ وجميل And beautiful, oh so beautiful # And beautiful, our master the Prophet, beautiful 🌙
