Whoever wishes Allaah سبحانه وتعالى to answer his supplications must first demonstrate active obedience to Him, as Allaah تعالى said: ﴿وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ﴾ ❝{And when My servants ask you, (O Muhammad ﷺ), concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me (by obedience) and believe in Me that they may be (rightly) guided.}❞ [1] فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي ❝{So let them respond to Me}❞: This phrase is a call to action, not just making Duaa, but by living in obedience to Allaah. Duaa is not just about asking, it’s also about responding to Allaah through obedience and trust. The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝When anyone of you makes Duaa, let him start by glorifying his Lord and praising Him, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, then let him pray for whatever he wants.❞ [3] In another Hadeeth; Umar narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Duaa is detained between the heavens and the earth and no part of it is taken up until you send blessings upon your Prophet.❞ [4] Indeed, ever Duaa is accepted as long as the one supplicating follows these steps: ➡️ First: Start the Duaa by praising Allaah and praying upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. ➡️ Second: Do not consume what was earned unlawfully. ➡️ Third: Avoid sins and disobedience. ➡️ Fourth: but not the last: Do not make a Duaa which is Haraam in itself (like asking for breaking up of family ties). If anyone follows these simple steps, then their Duaa is will be answered, for Allaah تعالى said: ❝{I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me}❞ [1] And He تعالى also said: ❝{Invoke Me, I will respond to your (invocation)}❞ [2] Allaah loves to be praised, so one should begin the supplication by glorifying Allaah, praising Him, thanking Him for His numerous blessings and favors, and expressing one's need for Him at all times. The wisdom behind performing these is to send forth good deeds before supplicating. 📑 NOTES: [1] Surah al-Baqarah (2): 186 [2] Surah Ghaafir (40): 60 [3] Sunan Abu Dawood (1481) and Tirmidhee (3477) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee [4] Tirmidhee (486) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee

💥Repel the Fitnah (turmoil) with al-Taqwa and Tawbah: 🌴🌴🌴 💢Talq bin Habeeb said: “Fear (and repel) the Fitnah with al-Taqwaa (by Fearing Allaah).” It was said to him: Beautify (and explain) to us al-Taqwaa. He said: “That you obey Allaah upon light (and guidance) from Him, while hoping for Mercy from Allaah; and that you abandon disobedience to Allaah, upon light from Him, while fearing the punishment from Allaah.” 📚[Minhaaj al-Sunnah of Ibn Taymiyyah (4/529)] 🌴🌴🌴 💢Abu Maalik said: When al-Hasan (al-Basree) was asked: Won’t you revolt (against the ruler), so as to bring about the (desired) change? He replied saying: “Verily! Allaah brings about the change with (sincere) repentance (that which is) not attained with the sword.” 📚[Tabaqaat al-Kubraa (7/127)]

Those who speak ill of the Sahaabah speak ill about Allaah and His Messenger. For verily, Allaah and His Messenger ﷺ were pleased with them; but these evildoers are not. The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Do not revile my Companions, for if any one of you spent gold equal to Uhud (in Allaah's Cause), it would not be equal to a Mudd or even a half Mudd spent by one of them.❞ 📚 [Saheehain] Imaam al-Nasaa’ee رحمه الله was asked about Muaawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyaan رضي الله عنهما. He replied: ❝Islaam is like a house with a door. The door of Islaam are the Sahaabah. Whoever speaks ill of the Sahaabah seeks but to harm Islaam, just like one who knocks on a door to enter a house. As for Muaawiyah, whoever speaks ill of him seeks to find a way to speak ill of other Sahaabah.❞ 📚 [Tahdheeb al-Kamaal, vol. 1 p. 338-339] Abu Zur`ah said: ❝If you see a man seeking to belittle anyone amongst the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ, then know that he is a Zindeeq (heretic). This is because, according to us, the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ is true and the Qur’aan is true. And the only ones who brought this Qur’aan and the Sunan to us are the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger. They only wish to disparage and demolish our witnesses so that they can nullify the Book and the Sunnah, whereas they are more deserving of being disparaged, for they are the Zanaadiqah (heretics).❞ 📚 [Taareekh Baghdaad (38/132)] The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝May Allaah bestow His Mercy on Moosa, for he was harmed with more than this, yet he remained patient.❞ 📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree] And we have been instructed by Allaah to seek forgiveness for the Companions and those who have preceded us in righteousness, as Allaah تعالى mentioned: وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ { And those who came after them (i.e., after the Muhaajiroon and the Ansaar) say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.} 📚 [Surah al-Hashr (59):10]

⚡How civilizations are destroyed? 👉In our age, three means are being utilized to bring about the downfall of the Ummah. 1️⃣. Attacking the family structure. 2️⃣. Attacking the education system. 3️⃣. Replacing the role models. ☆☆☆ 🌟1️⃣. Attacking the family structure: One of the most damaging ways to weaken the family is to devalue parenthood itself. By diminishing the essential role parents play in raising, nurturing, and caring for their children, “they” seek to cultivate a culture that portrays parents as ignorant, outdated, incompetent, or little more than servants to their children. Fathers are reduced to the caricature of the mindless breadwinner—valued primarily for what they provide materially—while mothers are pressured to view homemaking, caregiving, and the responsibilities of raising children as inferior, outdated, or even shameful. When parenthood is portrayed as a lesser role rather than recognized as one of the most consequential responsibilities a person can undertake, society risks undermining the very institution that shapes its next generation. Devaluing parents does not merely diminish individuals; it weakens the foundation of the family and, ultimately, the social fabric built upon it. Whereas the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Surely! Every one of you is a guardian and is responsible for those under his care. The Imaam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for it. Surely, every one of you is a guardian and responsible for those under his care.❞ 📚 [Saheehain] ☆☆☆ 🌟2️⃣. Attacking the education system: A key tactic being used to undermine, weaken, and dismantle the education system is eroding the status of teachers, undermining their authority, and diminishing their importance in society. By lowering their status and devaluing their contributions, society fosters an environment where even students lose respect for those entrusted with their education. Once the teacher’s authority is stripped away, the classroom becomes weakened, discipline deteriorates, and the very institution responsible for transmitting knowledge, values, and wisdom to future generations is put at risk. To mock a teacher is to disrespect the knowledge and wisdom the teacher represents. Whoever ridicules a teacher ultimately ridicules the knowledge, learning, and values that the teacher strives to pass on to others. Whoever mocks the teacher's art… Mocks the wisdom they impart. The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, for the Prophets did not leave behind Dinar or Dirham; rather, they left behind knowledge. So, whoever takes it has taken a great share.❞ 📚[Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan al-Tirmidhee, and Sunan Ibn Maajah] ☆☆☆ 🌟3️⃣. Replacing the role models: To further advance their agenda, “they” seek to undermine the role models of this Ummah, from the Prophets and Messengers to the Companions and the righteous Salaf. “They” attack their character, diminish their status, speak ill of them, and seek to strip them of the honor and respect they command. By casting doubt on their integrity, wisdom, and legacy, they try to sever the connection between people and those who have been entrusted with conveying, preserving, and embodying the truth. For when the role models of a people are discredited, dishonored, and diminished in the eyes of the next generation, fewer voices remain for them to trust, follow, and emulate. 🚫 Syed Qutub, in his book al-Tasweer al-Fanni, referred to Moosa عليه السلام as someone “who is an example of being impulsive, hot-tempered, and emotional.” 🚫 Maududi said that Yusuf عليه السلام eventually wanted to become a dictator and went on to compare him to Mussolini. [Tafheemaat] 🚫 The Shias curse the Major Companions like Abu Bakr, Umar, Aaishah, and many others رضي الله عنهم اجمعين.

After receiving guidance, the best supplication one can make is to ask Allaah for firmness upon the Deen. For Ibraaheem عليه السلام had supplicated, saying: وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَـٰذَا الْبَلَدَ آمِنًا وَاجْنُبْنِي وَبَنِيَّ أَن نَّعْبُدَ الْأَصْنَامَ {And (remember) when Ibraaheem said: “O my Lord! Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.”} 📚 [Surah Ibraaheem (14): 35] Ibraaheem عليه السلام was concerned about himself worshiping idols, despite being the one who broke and shattered them with his own hands. As a result, he faced punishment and humiliation from his people, all for the sake of Allaah. Yet, he continues to supplicate, saying: وَاجْنُبْنِى وَبَنِىَّ أَن نَّعْبُدَ الاٌّصْنَام {(O Allaah!) …and keep me and my sons away from worshiping idols} 📚 [Surah Ibraaheem (14): 35] He did not say, “I am now saved.” Instead, he asked Allaah to protect him and his sons from idol worship. A person should always fear their Lord. How many guided individuals have strayed? How many have deviated from the Straight Path? How many Believers have become Kaafir and apostates? Conversely, how many deviants have been guided by Allah? And how many Kuffaar have embraced Islam? Truly, all matters are in the Hands of Allah; He guides whom He wills. Anas رضي الله عنه narrated: Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ used to say quite frequently: اللَّهُمَّ ثبت قلبي على دينك ❝O Turner of the heart, keep me steadfast in your religion.❞ A man said: “O Allaah’s Messenger: We do affirm Faith in you and in that which you have been sent with. (Despite this) you entertain fear about us.” He ﷺ replied: ❝Yes! Verily the hearts are between two Fingers from the Fingers of Allaah, and He turns them as He تعالى likes.❞ 📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2140, 3522), Sunan Ibn Majaah (3834), and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh Al-Albaanee] `Abdullaah Ibn `Amr Ibn al-`Aas narrated that he heard Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ supplicate, saying: ❝Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Aadam are between the two fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate Lord (al-Rahmaan) - as one heart. He تعالى turns that to any (direction) He likes.❞ Then Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ supplicated, saying: اللَّهُمَّ مُصَرِّفَ الْقُلُوبِ صَرِّفْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ ❝O Allaah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts toward Your obedience.❞ 📚 [Saheeh Muslim]

🌟 *The Prophet ﷺ used to seek Allaah’s help in thanking Him:* ✅ The following two narrations teach an important lesson: we cannot truly thank Allaah without His assistance. Even our ability to remember Him, be grateful to Him, and worship Him properly comes from Him alone. That is why the Prophet ﷺ sought Allaah's help in thanking Him and taught his companions to do the same. 👉 It was narrated from Ibn Abbaas رضي الله عنهما that the Prophet ﷺ used to say in his supplication: رَبِّ أَعِنِّي وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ، وَانْصُرْنِي وَلَا تَنْصُرْ عَلَيَّ، وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلَا تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ، وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرِ الْهُدَى لِي، وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ، رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَكَّارًا، لَكَ ذَكَّارًا، لَكَ رَهَّابًا، لَكَ مُطِيعًا، إِلَيْكَ مُخْبِتًا، إِلَيْكَ أَوَّاهًا مُنِيبًا، رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِي، وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي، وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي، وَاهْدِ قَلْبِي، وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي، وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي، وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِي ❝“Rabbi! Ainnee wa laa tuin alayya, wansurni wa laa tansur alayya, wamkurlee wa laa tamkur alayya, wahdinee wa yassiril-hudaa lee, wansurnee alaa man bagha alayya. Rabbi-jalnee laka shakkaraa, laka dhakkaraa, laka rahhaba, laka mutiaa, ilayka mukhbitaa, ilayka awwahan muneeba. Rabbi! Taqabbal tawbatee, waghsil hawbatee wa ajib dawatee, wahdi qalbee, wa saddid lisaanee, wa thabbit hujjatee, waslul sakheemata qalbee” (O Lord! Help me and do not help others against me, support me and do not support others against me, plan for me and do not plan against me, guide me and make guidance easy for me, and help me against those who wrong me. O Lord! Make me grateful to You, make me remember You much, make me fearful of You, obedient to You, humble before You, and turning to You. O Lord! Accept my repentance and wash away my sins, answer my supplication, guide my heart, make my tongue speak the truth, make my proof firm, and remove resentment from my heart).❞ (One of the narrators) Abul-Hasan At-Tanafisi said: I said to Wakee: “Shall I say it in the Qunut of Witr?” He said: “Yes.” 📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (1510), Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3551), Sunan Ibn Maajah (3830) and the wording is his, al-Adab al-Mufrad (664, 665), and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee] 🌴🌴🌴 👉 And he ﷺ taught his companions how to seek Allaah’s help in thanking Him: He ﷺ said: ❝O Muaadh! By Allaah, I love you, so I advise you to never forget to recite at the end of every prayer (before the Tasleem): اللّهُـمَّ أَعِـنِّي عَلـى ذِكْـرِكَ ، وَشُكْـرِك ، وَحُسْـنِ عِبـادَتِـك “Allaahumma ainnee alaa dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni `ibaadatika” (O Allaah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner.)❞ 📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (1522), Sunan al-Nasaa’ee (1303), al-Adab al-Mufrad (690) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

🌟 Show Gratitude To Allaah, And He Will Preserve And Increase His Blessings Upon You: Be grateful to Allaah for every blessing He has given you. Recognize His favors, thank Him sincerely, and utilize His blessings in ways that are pleasing to Him. 👉 What the phrase means: 1️⃣ “Be Grateful To Allaah”: Acknowledge in your heart that every blessing comes from Allaah, praise Him with your tongue, and use those blessings in ways that please Him. 2️⃣ “To Preserve The Blessings”: Gratitude acts like a “rope” that ties down blessings, so they do not slip away; ingratitude (Kufr al-Nimah) is a cause for blessings to be removed. 🌴🌴🌴 👉 Expressing gratitude to Allaah (Shukr) is not only a religious obligation, but also an explicit condition set in the Qur’aan for preserving and increasing your blessings. Allaah تعالى said: وَاشْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ {And be grateful for the favor of Allaah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship} 📚 [Surah al-Nahl (16): 114] Allaah تعالى also said: وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ {And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you (in favor); but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.”} 📚 [Surah Ibraaheem (14):7] As a sign of gratitude, the Prophet ﷺ used to worship Allaah at night until his feet would get swollen. Narrated Aaishah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ used to offer prayer at night (for such a long time) that his feet would become swollen. I said: “O Allaah's Messenger ﷺ! Why do you do it since Allaah has forgiven you your faults of the past and those to follow?” He ﷺ said: ❝Shouldn't I love to be a thankful slave (of Allaah)?❞ When he became old, he prayed while sitting, but if he wanted to perform a bowing, he would get up, recite (some other verses), and then perform the bowing 📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (4837) and the wording is his, and Saheeh Muslim (2820). This is also reported in the Saheehain on the authority of al-Mugheerah رضي الله عنه 🌴🌴🌴 👉 True Gratitude Is Practiced Through Three Integrated Layers: 1️⃣ Gratitude Of The Heart (Shukr Bil-Qalb): Recognizing inwardly that every single blessing - your health, provision, guidance, safety, and loved ones - comes entirely from Allaah, not solely through your own effort or intellect. 2️⃣ Gratitude Of The Tongue (Shukr Bil-Lisaan): Keeping your tongue moist with authentic remembrance and praise, frequently saying Alhamdulillaah (Praise be to Allaah), Subhaan-Allaah, and acknowledging His favors when speaking to others without arrogance. 3️⃣ Gratitude Of The Limbs (Shukr Bil-Jawaarih): Using the very blessings Allaah has given you in ways that please Him. Expressing gratitude for wealth means giving charity (Sadaqah); gratitude for health means standing in prayer and helping others; gratitude for knowledge means teaching it. 🌴🌴🌴 👉 Key Acts To Preserve Your Blessings: 1️⃣ Perform Morning & Evening Adhkaar: Consistently reciting the daily remembrances protects existing favors from sudden loss or harm. 2️⃣ Avoid Using Blessings In Disobedience: The fastest way to lose a blessing is to employ it in a manner that transgresses Allaah's boundaries. 3️⃣ Share With Those In Need: Giving from what you have been granted acts as an ongoing shield and lock for those blessings. 4️⃣ Offer Sujood Al-Shukr: Perform a prostration of gratitude whenever you receive good news or are saved from a hardship.

⚡ Those who have lost their job, upon them is the Salaah*: وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ {And seek (Allaah’s) help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allaah]} 📚 [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 45] *[Including Istighfaar, Tawbah, Taqwa, Tawakkul, Du`aa etc.] ⚡ Those who have lost their wives, upon them is Fasting: Allaah's Messenger ﷺ said: ❝O young men! Whoever among you can afford to marry, should get married, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.❞ 📚 [Saheehain] ⚡ And mid all these troubles, those with small children, should reflect on their sins and blame no one but themselves: أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ لَهُ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَأَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَهُ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَاءُ فَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَارٌ فِيهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّـهُ لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ {Would any of you wish to have a garden with date-palms and vines, with rivers flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruits for him therein, while he is stricken with old age, and his children are weak (not able to look after themselves), then it (the garden) is struck with a fiery whirlwind containing fire, so that it is burnt? Thus does Allaah make clear His Aayaat (proofs, evidences) to you that you may give thought.} 📚 [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 266]

👉 The Salaf and Good Manners in asking questions. بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد 🎓 Yunus bin Ubaid narrated that Maimoon Ibn Mihraan said: ❝Showing affection to others represents half the understanding, and polite manners in asking questions constitute half the knowledge.❞ 🎓 Sad Ibn Ibraaheem narrated that Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said: ❝No one inquired about an issue from me, but I interpreted (from his questions) whether he was a person of understanding or not.❞ 🎓 Imaam Maalik رحمه الله narrated that when someone visited Zaid Ibn Aslam to ask questions, and he (the questioner) mixed up (the questions), he would say to him: ❝Go and (first) learn how to ask (questions). When you have done so, then ask.❞ 📚[al-Faqeeh wal-Mutafaqqih of al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee (2/63-65)]

💠 Supplications Are A Test Of Your Faith The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Indeed, supplication is worship.❞ 📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan al-Tirmidhee, and Sunan Ibn Maajah, and grade as "Saheeh" by Shaikhal-Albaanee] 🌴🌴🌴 In the Qur'aan, Allaah تعالى mentioned that Shaitaan supplicated to Him, requesting for a very long life, saying: قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ‎ {He (Shaitaan) said: “My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.”} 📚 [Surah al-Hijr (15): 36] 👉 If Shaitaan can supplicate, then what is preventing you from supplicating to Allaah? Then Allaah تعالى responded to his request, saying: قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ {He said: “You are of those reprieved.”} 📚 [Surah al-Hijr (15): 37] 👉 When Allaah answered Shaitaan's request, then what makes you think Allaah will not respond to yours? 🌴🌴🌴 🚫 Shaitaan received what he asked for but causes us to feel despair of Allaah’s Mercy. 🚫 Shaitaan wants us to give up on this beautiful `Ibaadah. 🚫 Allaah تعالى loves when you supplicate to Him, but Shaitaan doesn't want you to do that. 🚫 Allaah dislikes when people neglect to supplicate to Him, and this is exactly what Shaitaan desires. 🌴🌴🌴 The Prophet ﷺ said that Allaah تعالى responds to the supplications as long as one is not hasty. The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝The invocation of anyone of you is granted (by Allaah) if he does not show impatience (by saying, “I invoked Allaah but my request has not been granted).❞ 📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (6340) and Saheeh Muslim (4922)] 🌴🌴🌴 👉 You do not tests Allaah; instead, Allaah tests you through your supplications. 👉 Supplications serve as a measure of your Faith. 👉 Supplications serve as a measure of your determination and resolution. 👉 Supplications serve as a measure of your trust in Allaah’s decisions and your dependence on Him.

For them Allaah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allaah Forgiving and Merciful.} 📚 [Surah al-Furqaan (25):70] 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝘁 ﷺ said: ❝Verily, (the rewards of) the deeds are decided by the last actions (deeds).❞ 📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (6493, 6607)]

💥 When you teach the Deen, you have to warn against that which opposes it: ✔1) When you teach Tawheed, you have to warn against shirk and its different types. ✔2) When you teach the Sunnah, you have to warn against Bid`ah and its different ways. ✔3) When you teach the Haqq (Truth), you have to warn against the Baatil (falsehood) and its different forms. ✔4) And when you teach the Qur’aan, you have to teach all of the above. 🌴🌴🌴 🔵Don’t you teach people about Wudhu (ablution) and its nullifiers? 🔵Don’t you teach them about Salaah and its nullifiers? 🔴If you don't, then you might just end up wasting your time and their time as well. How can people know the truth from the falsehood or the right from the wrong if you don’t make it clear to them? 🌴🌴🌴 🌟When we say the Shahaadah, لا إله إلا الله, we are first taught to negate the worship of every other “god” besides Allaah, and then we are to affirm that worship is only for Allaah alone. 🌴🌴🌴 📕Narrated Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamaan رضي الله عنه: “The people used to ask Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) about good, but I used to ask him about evil FOR FEAR THAT IT MIGHT OVERTAKE ME.” 📑 [Saheehain] 🌴🌴🌴 🌟This is Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamaan رضي الله عنه with whom the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم trusted his secrets but even then he feared for himself that he might fall into the Fitnah. If warning against evil was not necessary, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would not have felt the need to answer his questions. 🌴🌴🌴 🌟If the Sahaabah felt the need to have their doubts clarified, then what about us⁉ 🌟🌟🌟 And Allaah is the One who grants success.

💠 Themes Of Surah Al-Kahf https://ilm4all.blogspot.com/2026/07/themes-of-surah-al-kahf.html

💠 From the conditions of sincere repentance: 👉. If the sin is between you and Allaah: 1️⃣ Regretting for your past 2️⃣ Quitting from the present evil activities 3️⃣ Resolving not to commit in the future 👉. If the sin is between you and another person: 1️⃣ All of the above 2️⃣ Returning the rights to the rightful owners 📚 [Tafseer Ibn Katheer (Paraphrased) Surah al-Tahreem (66):8] 📑 Note: 👉 Returning the rights to the rightful owners (steps to be taken): 1️⃣ First and foremost, return the property/wealth to the rightful owner if he is alive 2️⃣ If he has passed away, then to his inheritors 3️⃣ If one tried hard but could not locate the person or his next of kin, then give it away in charity on his behalf. 🚫 One cannot give away someone else's wealth in charity without trying to locate the person or asking his permission.

💠 Did We Not Give You Lives Long Enough❓️ https://youtu.be/C29h3FIgxFs?si=95klqYiy__tF0mkp

🚫 And part of hiding your bad deeds is hiding what you did in the past, or what or who you were in the past. A lot of people have adopted this culture from the Kuffaar, that after becoming Muslims or after having repented, they go around telling people about their past lives, and the evil deeds that they used to do back then, “I used to drink”, “I used to do drugs”, “I dated”, “I had many girlfriends”, “I had many boyfriends” etc. When you have become a Muslim, or after you have repented, you do not need to clarify, or give justification, or to confess to anyone. After repenting or after becoming a Muslim, your evil deeds are effaced, so don’t give a rope to the people to judge you based on your past after you have repented sincerely. 🌴🌴🌴 We ask Allaah تعالى to make us among His righteous servants – who Fear Him openly and secretly, and in gatherings and in seclusions.

🔥 Fear Allaah in the Unseen and do not publicize your bad deeds: 👉 Whatever sins you might have committed while in seclusion, then let it remain hidden, and do not inform anyone about it nor publicize it. Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: I heard Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ saying: ❝All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujaahireen (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people). An example of such disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allaah screens it from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says: “O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday”, though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes Allaah’s screen from himself.❞ 📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (6069) and Saheeh Muslim (2990)] Thereafter, seek Allaah’s help in becoming righteous and an obedient slave of Allaah, and do righteous deeds which will help in effacing the bad deeds, as Allaah تعالى said: وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ ۚ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ذِكْرَىٰ لِلذَّاكِرِينَ {And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night [i.e., the five compulsory Salaah]. Indeed, good deeds remove with evil deeds. That is a reminder for those who are mindful (and accept the advice).} 📚 [Surah Hood (11): 114] 👉 And do Istighfaar consistently and continuously, and seek Allaah’s Forgiveness and Mercy, so, that He تعالى forgives your sins which you did – openly or secretly. And supplicate to Allaah, as the Prophet ﷺ had taught: اللَّهُمَّ إني أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ Allaahumma innee as-aluka khashyataka fil-ghaibi wash-shahaadah ❝O Allaah, cause me to fear You in secret and in public❞ 📚 [Sunan al-Nasaa’ee (1305, 1306) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee] 🎓And as al-Imaam al-Shaafiee رحمه الله said: ❝The hardest of things to do are three: 1️⃣. Generosity (giving charity) even in poverty. 2️⃣. Piety in seclusion. 3️⃣. Speaking the truth in the presence of those from whom you hope (for a favor) and from whom you fear (retaliation).❞ 📚 [Al-Fawaaid al-Akhbaar of Ibn Hikmaan (13) and Taareekh Damishq of Ibn Asaakir. In Jaami al-Uloom wal-Hikam (18/2/478) with the wording: “The most honorable acts are three” (and the rest is the same] Know that Allaah تعالى is al-`Adheem (Most Great) and al-Kareem (Most Generous). So, while in seclusion if you leave off doing something bad – though you had the ability to do it – but you left it for the sake of Allaah and out of the fear of His punishment, Allaah تعالى will raise your status and honor you, because you feared Allaah in the unseen (i.e., in this world before meeting Him in the Hereafter), and fearing Allaah in the unseen is a great achievement and high rank which very few achieve. And Allaah has promised a great reward for those who fear Him in the unseen, as Allaah تعالى said: وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ‎*‏ هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ ‎*‏ مَّنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمَٰنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُّنِيبٍ * ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ ‎*‏ لَهُم مَّا يَشَاءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ {And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqoon (pious). (It will be said): “This is what you were promised, - (it is) for those oft-returning (to Allaah) in sincere repentance, and those who preserve their covenant with Allaah (by obeying Him in all what He has ordered, and worship none but Allaah Alone). Those who feared the Most Beneficent (Allaah) in the Ghaib (unseen): (i.e., in this worldly life before seeing and meeting Him), and brought a heart turned in repentance (free from Shirk). Enter it (the Jannah) in peace. This is the Day of Eternity (and no death). They will have whatever they wish therein, and We have more (for them, i.e., a glance at the All-Mighty, All-Majestic).”} 📚 [Surah Qaaf (50): 31-35]
