Among the means of tranquility and happiness for the Salaf was: That they did not attach great importance to worldly life. They derived this from the Qur’an: {And the worldly life is not but the enjoyment of delusion.} - Sh. Ahmed Al Khalil

من أسباب الطمأنينة والسعادة عند السلف: أنهم لا يعظمون الدنيا وأخذوا هذا من القرآن: {وما الحياة الدنيا إلا متاع الغرور} (قناة د. أحمد بن محمد الخليل العلمية) (t.me/alkhalil_1)

♦ So Be Steadfast Ibn Taymiyah wrote: والمؤمن مأمور عند المصائب أن يصبر ويسلم، وعند الذنوب أن يستغفر ويتوب، قال الله تعالى: (فاصبر إن وعد الله حق واستغفر لذنبك) فأمره بالصبر على المصائب، والاستغفار من المعائب The believer has been commanded to be patient and submit when afflicted and to seek forgiveness and repent when he sins. Allah said:

فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ So be steadfast. Allah’s promise is surely true. And seek forgiveness for your sins. [40:55]

So Allah commanded him to be patient in the face of afflictions and to seek forgiveness for his shortcomings. [al-Furqan pg 135]

Enough honor for you is that you are a slave of Allah and enough pride for you is that Allah is your Lord. [Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (rahimahillāh), On Honor and Pride, al-Fawā’id, 1/33]

أكثِروا من الصَّلاة على النبي ﷺ ♡ اللَّهُمَّ صَلٌِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيد

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said: ‎Whoever keeps himself busy seeking Allah instead of himself, Allah will save him from himself, and whoever keeps himself busy with Allah more than people, Allah will save him from people. ‎[al-Fawaa’id, pg. 174]

📖Recite by Night, Conquer by Day After the Battle of Qadisiyyah (15 AH), Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas sent a letter to 'Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, relaying to him the good news of the victory. In the letter, he mentioned: 'Sa'd b. Ubayd the Reciter was martyred, and so-and-so, and so-and so was martyred, and men amongst the Muslims who are only known to Allah; He surely knows them... When night would fall, they would recite the Qur'ān like the buzzing of the bees; and during the day, they were lions unlike any other.' Life With Allah ♥️

قال الإمام ابن القيم رحمه الله: «من صدق توكُّلُهُ على الله في حصول شيءٍ ناله» [مدارج السالكين.] “Whoever truly trusts in Allaah in attaining something, he attains it.”

⭐️ You might find one seeking knowledge in their old age and reaching a level in knowledge that a young, intelligent person does not attain, that is because the older one turned to Allah and persistently begged for knowledge, so Allah granted him what He did not grant the younger one. ⭐️ The greatest way of acquiring knowledge is asking Allah for it. How often this meaning is absent from the minds of many when attending a lesson or memorizing a text. Whoever is guided to this way, will have things facilitated for them in ways not available to others. ⭐️ قد تجد من طلب العلم في كبر سنه ويبلغ في العلم مرتبة لم يبلغها الذكي الصغير، لأن الكبير أقبل على الله وألح في سؤال العلم فآتاه الله مالم يؤت الصغير. ⭐️ أعظم أسباب العلم سؤال الله العلم. وكم يغيب هذا المعنى عن أذهان كثيرين عند حضور درس أو حفظ متن، ومن وفق لهذا السبب تيسر له مالم يتهيأ لغيره.

🌿 Friday Reminder Ubayy ibn Kaʿb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "...I said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'Should I devote all of my supplication to sending prayers upon you?' He ﷺ replied: 'Then your worries will be taken care of, and your sins will be forgiven." "Your worries will be taken care of, and your sins will be forgiven." This reward encompasses every part of a person's life: - Sins relate to the past. - Worries concern the future. Thus, by Allah's permission, you attain success in both this world and the Hereafter. Today is Friday, the best day of the week. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to send abundant prayers and peace upon him on this blessed day, saying: "Send abundant blessings upon me on Friday." Do not let this day pass except that your tongue is moist with sending prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد

The Dua : Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned the day of Friday, saying: "On it is an hour in which no Muslim servant stands to pray and asks Allah for something, except that He grants it to him." سُورَةُ الْكَهْفِ :- عن أبي سَعيدٍ الخُدريِّ عنِ النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم أنَّه قال :« مَن قَرَأَ سورةَ الكَهفِ يومَ الجُمُعةِ أضاءَ له من النورِ ما بَينَ الجُمُعتينِ » . Surah Al-Kahf: Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf on the day of Friday, it will illuminate him with light between this Friday and the next."
