Reflections For Myself

Be mindful of Allāh ﷻ and he will protect you عَنْ أَبِي العَبَّاسِ، عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: ʿAbdullāh Ibn ʿ Abbās narrated: كُنْتُ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْماً فَقَالَ: One day, I was behind the Prophet ﷺ so he said to me: «يَا غُلَامُ! إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ: “O young man! I am going to teach you some words: احْفَظْ اللَّهَ يَحْفَظْكَ، Be mindful of Allāh and He will protect you احْفَظْ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَكَ، Be mindful of Allāh and you will find Him before you إِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلْ اللَّهَ، If you ask then ask of Allāh وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ، If you seek aid then seek aid in Allāh وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوْ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ، Know that if the entire Ummah were to gather in order to benefit you with something, لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ، they could not benefit you with anything except that Allāh has written for you. وَإِنِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِشَيْءٍ، And if the entire Ummah were to gather in order to harm you with something, لَمْ يَضُرُّوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ، they could not harm you with anything except with what Allāh has written against you. رُفِعَتْ الْأَقْلَامُ، The pen has been lifted وَجَفَّتْ الصُّحُفُ» and the pages have dried.” [رواه الترمذي، وقال: حديث حسن صحيح]

You are strong, worthy, loved for who you are. Never lose that.

[Shaykh Fakhr al-Din Qabawah] ʿUmar Ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه: “We are a people whom Allāh ﷻ has honoured through Islam, if we seek honour elsewhere, Allāh ﷻ shall humiliate us.”

ft. Shaykh Fakhr al-Din Qabawah Umar b. al-Khattab: “We are a people whom Allah has honoured through Islam, if we seek honour elsewhere, Allah shall humiliate us.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said: “Overall, the planning of Allāh for you is certainly better than the plans you have set for your own self. He may avert what you wish to test you, so show Him the good patience you have and then you will see what will please your heart.” (Captured Thoughts p. 464, Saydil al-Khātir)

Manhood In Islām

Trust Allāh ﷻ to open the right door for you at the right time.

We don’t need to be perfect in this world, but we need to be sincere in our efforts, renewing our intentions and reminding ourselves of the ultimate goal

Your value is in your abilities, good deeds, manners, and contributions to society. Do not feel grief over that which has passed you by in life but be content with what Allāh has given you. Remind yourself of Paradise, which is as wide as the Heavens and the Earth. lf you’re hungry in this world, if you are sad, ill or oppressed, remember the eternal bliss of Paradise. lf you do, then your losses are really profits and the hardships you face are really gifts. The most wise of people are those who work for the Hereafter, because it is better and everlasting. The most foolish of mankind are those who see this world as their eternal abode – in it reside all of their hopes. You will find such people to be the most grief-stricken of all when faced with calamity. They will be the most affected by worldly loss simply because they see nothing beyond the insignificant lives that they lead. The happiness of Paradise will be absolute. So why do we not contemplate this fact? Paradise is our destination – and we ask Allāh سبحانه و تعالى for the highest of Paradise. سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ “Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.” [Qur’ān, Sūrah Ra’d (13), verse 24] (@siblingsofilm)

Most Scholars of the early generations were poor; needless it is to say, then, that they did not have beautiful houses or nice cars. Yet, despite this, they led fruitful lives, and they benefited mankind, not by some miracle, but because they used all that they were given, and spent their time in the correct way. Hence they were blessed in their lives, their time, and their talents. On the contrary, there are many people who have been bestowed with wealth, children, and all forms of blessings, yet these blessings have been the very reason for their misery and ruin. They deviated from what their inborn instincts were telling them, namely, that material things are not everything. If you’re a seeker of happiness, be satisfied with what Allāh has favoured you with. Certain educators go further than this by saying that you should imagine being contented with even less than you actually have now. Your value is in your abilities, good deeds, manners, and contributions to society. Do not feel grief over that which has passed you by in life but be content with what Allāh has given you.

Salih al-Dimashqi رحمه الله said you his son: { O my son, if a day passes in which your religion, body, wealth, and family are all safe ... then increase in your thanks to Allāh ﷻ. ‎For how many people in that same day will have lost their religion, been afflicted ... with disease, become bankrupt and lost their family members, whilst you enjoy Allāh’s safety. } [Sīyar a’lam al-Nubala 3/222]
