💕ISLAMIC THINKING💕

"وعسَى الَّذِي أَهْدَى لِيُوسُفَ أهلَهُ وأعَزَّهُ فِي السِّجْنِ وَهُوَ غَرِيبُ أَنْ يستجِيبَ لنَا فيجْمع شملنَا فَاللهُ رَبُّ العَالَمِينَ .. قَرِيبُ"

"May He who guided Joseph to his family,and honored him in prison, though he was a stranger,answer our prayers and reunite us. For Allah is the Lord of the worlds, and He is near."

I truly believe that every one of you has beautiful days ahead. And when I say I believe that better days are coming for you, I don’t say it with doubt. I say it with certainty in Allah’s might, His mercy, and His promise. I truly believe that the One who brought you this far will never abandon you.

لن أكون مثل أغلب البشر ولكن سأكون مثل الشجر ترميني بالحجر .. وأرميك بأحسن الثمر 🎀

I won't be like most humans, but I will be like a tree. You throw stones at me.. and I'll throw the best fruits at you

•• من تعلق بالله وعليه توكل ، لا ملّ ولا قلّ ولا ضّل ولا ذلّ ، اللهم أني وكلت أمري إليك كُلهِ.

He who relies on Allah and entrusts his affairs to Him, free from arrogance, stinginess, misguidance, or humiliation. O Allah, I entrust all my affairs to You.

- يقول الشيخ الشنقيطي -رَحِمَه الله-: «والله لَن تَجد مَكروبًا ولا مَنكوبًا لَزِمَ أذكَار الصّباح والمسَاء؛ إلا جعَل الله لَه مِن بَين أطبَاق الدُنيا فرَجًا ومخرَجًا». • أذكَارُكُم يَارعاكُم الله.

Sheikh Al-Shanqiti -may Allah have mercy on him- said: "By Allah, you will not find anyone who is distressed or afflicted who consistently recites the morning and evening remembrances, except that Allah will provide them with relief and a solution from among the blessings of this world." • May Allah protect us and grant us blessings through your remembrances.

«قد يُعسِّر الله سبحانه وتعالى عليك أمرًا لكي تلجأ إليه، وتتضرع وتنكسر بين يديه؛ "Allah, Glory be to Him, the Most High, may make a matter difficult for you so that you may turn to Him, supplicate with humility, and feel broken before Him. فهو سبحانه يحب أن يرى عبده خاضعًا له، يدعوه بعينٍ فائضة بالدموع، وقلبٍ موقنٍ بالإجابة.. For He, Glory be to Him, loves to see His servant submitting to Him—calling upon Him with eyes overflowing with tears and a heart certain of the response. فما ردَّ الله عبدًا انكسر على بابه، بل يستجيب له ويجبره». Allah never turns away a servant who comes broken to His door; rather, He responds to them and mends their heart."

​"Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth?" (Surah An-Naml, 27:62)

​ (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi: 16/193):

​"Allah Almighty has guaranteed to respond to the desperate person when they call upon Him, and He has stated this about Himself. The reason for this is that desperation drives a person to seek refuge in Him with absolute sincerity, completely detaching the heart from everything else. In the sight of Allah, sincerity holds a profound status and protection—whether it comes from a believer or a disbeliever, an obedient person or a sinner."

•• الفتن إن اشتدت كالبحر تتحير العقول عن أسباب النجاة وأعظمها دعاء الله قال حذيفة ليأتين على الناس زمان لا ينجو فيه إلا من دعا كدعاء الغريق...

When tribulations intensify, they are like an ocean; the minds become confused concerning the means of survival, and the greatest of them is du'a. Hudhayfah said, "A time will come for the people wherein none will survive except he who prays like the du'a of one drowning."

•• الخلوة مع الله، لذَّة وملجأ ومُستراح من لا يعرف الخلوة مع ربه فاته جنَّة الدُّنيا. #قيام_الليل_شرف_المؤمن

Spending time alone with Allah is a delight, a refuge, and a respite. Those who do not know how to spend time alone with their  Lord have missed out on the paradise of this world. #Night_prayer_is_an_honor_for_the_believer

•• إن طال صبرك، فاعلم أن الله لا يُضيع صبر الصابرين، وأن عوضه إذا أتى أنسى القلب كل ما مضى. فأحسن الظن بربك، واطمئن؛ فما خاب قلبٌ وثق بالله، ولا تأخر جبره إلا ليأتي في الوقت الذي يليق بكرمه. نسأل الله أن يجبر خاطرك، ويُرضي قلبك، ويقر عينك بما تتمنى، ويعوّضك خيرًا حتى ترضى.

If you have been patient, know that Allah does not waste the patience of those who are patient, and that when the reward comes, it will erase everything that has passed from your heart. So, have good faith in your Lord, and be at peace; for no heart that trusts in Allah has ever been disappointed, and no healing is delayed except so that it may come at a time worthy of His generosity. We ask Allah to mend your heart, to please your soul, to fulfill your desires, and to compensate you with goodness until you are content.

•• "في النفوسِ قلقٌ لا يفنى إلَّا بالتمعُّن في ألطافِ الله ، وفي القلوبِ كربٌ لا يبعُد إلَّا باليقين التآم بسعةِ رحمة الرحمن ، وفي الأيام ضرباتٌ مؤلمة وألآم مُتفرقة لا يُكمِّدها إلَّا الأُنس بالدُعاء والطمأنينة بالمُناجاة .. لا هلاك لقلبٍ غمره اليقين بأنَّ الله سيُدبِّره أحسنَ تدبير ."

There is anxiety in the hearts that can only be dispelled by reflecting on the blessings of Allah, and there is distress in the souls that can only be alleviated by the certainty of being embraced by the vast mercy of the Most Merciful. There are painful blows and scattered pains in life that can only be soothed by finding solace in prayer and peace in supplication. «There is no destruction for a heart that is filled with the certainty that Allah will manage its affairs in the best possible way.»

• بينَك وبين الفائزينَ جبلُ الهوى، نزلوا بين يديهِ ونزلْتَ خَلْفَهُ؛ فاطْوِ فَضْلَ منزل تَلْحَقْ بالقوم.

كتاب الفوائد لابن القيم رحمه الله

"Between you and the victorious ones is the mountain of whim (desire). They settled in front of it, whereas you settled behind it; so traverse the remaining distance of your station, and you will catch up with the people." — From the book "Al-Fawa'id" (The Book of Benefits) by Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said: ‎“Enough as a punishment for sins is that it prevents you from worshipping Allāh, ‎even if you wanted to.” ‎[ad-Daa’ wad Dawaa’ | Pg. 87]

•• من أعظم أسباب الطمأنينة: صدق التوكل على الله سبحانه ! ‏قال معروف الكرخي -رحمه الله-: توكل على الله حتى يكون هو مُعَلمك، ‏ومُؤنسك، وموضع شكواك، فإن الناس، لا ينفعونك ولا يضرونك ولا يعطونك. • شعب الإيمان (٤٧٢/٢).

One of the greatest sources of peace of mind is sincere reliance on Allah Almighty! Ma'ruf al-Karkhi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Rely on Allah until He becomes your teacher, your companion, and the one to whom you turn with your complaints. For people cannot benefit you, harm you, or give to you."

Q: when someone asks me are you Salafi?

‏ قال أبو حازم: ‏«‏كل نعمة لا تقرب من اللّٰه عز وجل فهي بلية‏» صفة الصفوة (١٥٧/٢)

Abu Hazam said: ‏“‏Every blessing that does not bring one closer to Allah, the Almighty, is a calamity‏” The Characteristics of the Excellent (157/2)

From the Wonders of Sadaqah — “Treat Your Sick and Ailing Ones With Charity” A man once came to Imam ‘Abdullah Ibn Mubarak (rahimahullah) seeking advice about an ulcer that had appeared in his knee seven years ago. He had tried various treatments and asked doctors but did not benefit from it; so ibn al-Mubarak said to him: "Go and dig a well in a place where there is a need for water (for the people). For I am hopeful that water will spring up there and the bleeding will stop.” So he did that and he was cured (by the mercy of Allah). [Siyar ‘A’laam an-Nubalaa’, 8/407] Treating the Evil Eye (‘Ayn) and Envious Eye (Hasadd) Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah): No. 8. Charity and charitable deeds (food, water, clothing, necessities) must be done as much as possible (in abundance) for (doing) this has a wonderful affect in warding off (ongoing or impending) calamity, and (it works in) warding off the evil eye or the envious eye (that which has already taken affect or the one that may take affect will be prevented). [Bada’ie al-Fawaed, 2/238-245]

Shaykh Abdirashid Ali Sufi's advice: 🟤For the Huffadh: - Do not leave off your wird of the Qur’an ever! - Do not let a week pass by without completing a khatmah. - If you are extremely busy, complete a khatmah every 10 days. 🟤For the students who are memorising the Qur’an: - Strive to give the Qur’an its due time. People may ask what’s the easiest method to memorise the Qur’an? - The easiest way to memorise is to give the Qur’an its due time! You are in the best and happiest journey of your life, this journey of memorising the Qur’an. The recitation and repetition of the Qur’an never leaves your tongue, no matter where you are. 🟤Abandon your phones when memorising. - Suffice with the Mushaf. 🟤The remainder of the Muslims: - Do not neglect the Qur’an! - At the very least, recite 1 Juz a day. - Finish a khatmah monthly. It is feared that those who abandon the recitation of the Qur’an come under this verse:

{وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا} {And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur’an as [a thing] abandoned."} Al-Furqan: 30
