self-reflection 🕊

من ظنّ بالله خيرا، فلن يخيّب الله ظنّه. ومن شكر الله على نعمة ، زاده الله من فضله. ومن توكّل على الله فهو حسبه. Whoever thinks well of Allah, Allah will never disappoint them. Whoever is grateful to Allah for a blessing, Allah will increase them in His favor. Whoever puts their trust in Allah, He will be sufficient for them.

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSM4Hfk7c bismillah! let’s watch this video to know some of the mistakes we do not realize we have been doing in our wudhu’.

du’a when raining: اللّهُمَّ صَيِّـباً نافِـعاً Allahumma shoyibban nafi’a O Allah, make it a beneficial rain! Sahih Bukhari 1032.

🪴 why are we so happy in Ramadan? because we’re busy doing what we were created for.

🪫 “you talk as if you have no problems, how do you seem so calm?” it’s ironic how i am always often seen giving advice but i myself couldn’t take in my own advice. giving out advices is easier than going through it. despite all this hardships, i am still trying my best to become a better version of myself. i rarely open up my feelings to anyone, so when i do, you do know that it has overtook me. ironic how an advisor is in need of an advice for his own self. i am just a human being with so many flaws that Allah has perfectly covered, i am not someone who is pious, never ever get close to that. but i’m trying my best to make both my parents & family proud. seeing them happy would instantly make myself so much better. oh Allah, guide me through this journey of life, and ease my heart, in the process of finding myself again.

my mini sahur ponderings and may this benefit you all inshaallah 💞 fasting is easy but controlling our desires/nafs ? its not. its still a struggle to some. Ramadhan made me realize that our biggest enemy is not shaitan, but our own nafs. The fact that we know shaitan is locked up during this month of Ramadhan, yet we still give in to our desires, proves this. It's true.. shaitan's role is simply to whisper to us, but it's our nafs that ultimately drives us to act on those impulses. On the day of judgement, Humans are going to blame the shaitan for this and for that. but do u know what the shaitan is going to reply? that their job is to only whisper and that he does not possess the ability to compel anyone to do wrong And we humans acted it upon our own desires and we are responsible for our own choices and actions.

Reference; Surah Ibrahim verse 22

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 okayy 🤍 may Allah ease your affairs. 🕊 MD. @selfreflectionforummah

Mashaa Allah, the first Friday of Ramadan! May Allah (SWT) accept all our silent prayers, forgive our sins, and open the doors of happiness and peace for us all. Ameen, Ya Rabb!

Disetiap perjuangan, Allah membentuk kepribadianmu menjadi lebih tabah. Disetiap kesulitan, Allah mengukirmu menjadi manusia yang lebih baik. Disetiap tantangan, Allah menjadikanmu orang yang lebih kuat. Disetiap aliran air mata yang mengalir, Allah menjadikanmu pribadi yang lebih lembut. Setiap kesulitan kesulitan yang kamu lalui memiliki tujuan yang jelas, percayalah kepada Allah dan percaya terhadap prosesnya. Allah bersamamu disepanjang perjalanan kehidupanmu.

Assalamualaikum wr wb, Alhamdullilah we made it to the first Friday of Ramadhan ! Don't forget to make dua, increase supplications and read Surahtul Al-khaf today 🤍

In this life, you will be tested. As a believer, you are not free from trials. These trials may come through family, love, wealth, health, or any other aspect of life. But remember, these tests are not meant to break you, but they are meant to elevate you. Allah tests those He loves, and through patience and faith, you draw closer to Him. The Mukminin faces hardships with imān, knowing that every struggle is an opportunity to grow in faith and be rewarded. Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wassalam said:

“When Allah loves a servant, He tests him.” (Tirmidhi)

One day, you will look back on your time in this world and be grateful for the moments when you endured your hard days with patience. On Yawm ul- Hasrah (Day of Regret) those who lived heedlessly will wished that they had been tested more so they could have earned greater rewards. But for the Mukminin, every difficulty endured with patience is a step closer to Jannah. So embrace your trials with faith, knowing that with every hardship, there is ease, and with every struggle, there is reward.

𝟭𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗮𝗿 🍽️ 10 minutes before iftar is not a time to be staring at the meal , fighting over food or drinks desperately and filling up your plate just in case someone takes more .10 minutes before iftar is a time of humbling yourself infront of Allah swt and asking him to accept everything that you have done throughout the day . The Prophet Muhammad saw said " There are three whose dua is not rejected : a just ruler , the fasting person when he breaks his fast and the prayer of the opressed person " [ At Tirmidhi ] It is a golden period where Allah swt grants the wishes of those who call out to him so seek forgiveness and pour your heart out to the almighty .

The reason we hasten our prayer and fail to make time for du’a is that, deep down, we still think we are self-sufficient. But in reality, it is Allah who suffices us. Allah is Al-Ghaniyy (The Self-Sufficient, Free of Need). He is not in need of us, but we are in absolute need of Him. Ask Him for anything, even the impossible. Because when we turn to Him for what seems beyond our reach, it is a proof of our faith in His power. It is proof that we believe in Al-Qadir (The All-Powerful), the One for whom nothing is impossible. This Ramadhan, let go of your ego. Turn to Allah and ask for what your heart longs for, but above all, ask for His pleasure. As human beings, we chase after many things, yet we often forget that it is only through His Redha that we can enter Jannah. Seek Him first, and everything else will fall into place.
