WISDOMS


“Do not fall into despair if blessings come late, even though you keep asking for them, because Allah has promised to heed prayers. Yet the wish to be granted will be granted because He wishes it for you, not because you wish it for yourself.”

Ibn `Ata’ Allah al-Iskandari


★ Tremendous Reward On Dua for Invocation for entering a market/mall ★

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, If anyone says on entering the market,

"None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He brings life and He causes death, and He is living and does not die. In His Hand is all good, and He is Able to do all things."

Allah will record for him a million good deeds, obliterate from him a million evil deeds, raise him a million degrees, and build him a house in Paradise.

There are four types of oceans. Passions are the ocean of sins, the self (nafs) is the ocean of lust, death is the ocean of life, and the grave is the ocean of distress.

“What you desire is what YOU want, what you have is what ALLAH wants.”
~ Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan

How can you lay claim to faith, when you have no patience at all. Surely you must have heard the saying of the prophet, peace and blessings be upon him “patience is to faith, as the head is to the body”.

- Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani


Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said: "The worst people in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the double faced people who appear to some people with one face and to other people with another face." (Sahih Al Bukhari Vol. 8, Hadith No. 7179)

Hadith's, Quotes and Positive Sayings

"Through our hearts ALLAH hears more than we say, He answers more than we ask, He gives more than we desire, Expect GREAT things from ALLAH." ♥

Inshaa Allah.. Alhamdulilah ♥

The Prophet Muhammad ṣalAllāhu 'alayhi wa sallam said,

“Make a lot of sajdah (i.e. make a lot of prayer), because for every time you make a prostration to Allāh, your rank is raised and your sin is forgiven.”
[Reported by Sahih Muslim]


Life has many difficulties but we move on with it. Giving up has nothing to do with what we were created for.
"Indeed after difficulty comes ease..." Al Quran

"Every time your head touches the ground in prayer, remember it is to teach you to put down your ego." -Sheikh Abu Sa'eed
Masnoon Islamic duaas

"Some people leave off du'a thinking that their requests will never be fulfilled, or thinking that their affliction or hardship will not be removed. But who still keeps supplicating? The one who thinks well of Allah. What does that mean? It's not what may be initially understood which is that Allah is Merciful and that's it. This isn't enough. Thinking well of Allah is to first know that Allah is able to do all things, and then to know that Allah is the Most Merciful. The key to thinking well of Allah is to know that nothing on earth or in the heavens can stop Allah from doing what He wishes."

– Sh. Salih al-Maghamisi

Are you furious because people are accusing you of things you never did, they are backbiting you and your family, they are making fun of you, or they are trying to hurt you in various ways?
Be patient. Do not complain. Forgive them. Be kind to them. I know it is hard, but...

Prophet Muhammad salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam said,

"If a man is wronged by someone, and he keeps quiet for the sake of Allah, Allah helps him strongly."
Reported by Ahmed

Ibn 'Umar narrated that Allaah's Messenger (salaAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "He who dies as an evil-gossiper, who backbites, and calls others by offensive nick names, will be given a sign on the Day of Resurrection, that Allaah will brand him (like a beast) on his face from both sides of the mouth." (Ibn Abu Hatim et al., and Majma' az-Zawai'd.)

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "Who is the most excellent among the Muslims?'' He said, "One from whose tongue and hands the other Muslims are safe.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

"The believer is not one who abuses, nor a person who curses, nor is he obscene or vulgar" Al-Adaab al-Mufrad (pg 116) also in As-Saheeh al-Musnad (24/2)



Crying does not nullify beautiful patience. It does not mean that you don’t have patience. In fact, the opposite is true. When you’re crying and supplicating to Allâh, it is as if you are saying you have no one else but Allah. It is an indication of your ikhlas and tawhid – you are not asking anyone else but Allâh. Prophet Ya’qub (alyhissalam) cried and cried until he lost his sight. He was not just patient, he was beautifully patient and his patience was beautiful. It is a complete patience in that he turned to Allâh alone in his calamity. :')

Masnoon Islamic duaas


Prophet Muhammad salAllahu 'alayhi wasallam said,

"Do not try to pry into the private affairs of other people, nor go after the secret affairs of other people. Do not find fault with others. Do not undo the business dealings of others. Do not be jealous of one another. Do not have grudge against others. Do not indulge in backbiting. All people should live like brothers."

Reported by Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim
Khalid ibn Ma’dan:

"There is not a person except he has four eyes: two in his head with which he sees the matters of this worldly life, and two in his heart with which he looks to the matters of the hereafter. So if Allah wants good for his servant, He opens his heart's eyes, and so he perceives what he has been promised in the unseen world. Thus he is saved from the unseen [punishment] through the unseen (reward for the obedient)."

(Al-Dhahabi, Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala' 4/543)





"When you feel lonely, recall how Adam (as) felt when he was sent to this earth alone.

When you can’t see any logic in what’s going on, and questions arise, recall Nūḥ (as) who built the biggest ship on dry land without questioning.

When you find your parents opposing you (in dīn), recall Ibrāhīm (as) who was thrown into a blazing fire by his father.

When you are hurt by your own, recall Yūsuf (as) who was betrayed by his own brothers.

When you are ill and your whole body cries with pain, recall Ayyūb (as) who was so sick that insects would eat from his sick decaying body.

When you’re stuck, and cannot find a way out, recall Yūnus (as) who was stuck inside the belly of a whale.

When you’re mocked, abused, and taunted by your own, just because you adopted dīn over dunyā, recall Muḥammad (saw) who faced much worse."

“I would love to have already met my Lord had it not been for three blessings in this world,
1) to prostrate my forehead on the ground before Him;
2) to sit in gathering that favor the good word, which is like opting for the better of dates on a platter;
3) for the opportunity to fight in His cause, to proclaim His word, and to establish His religion on earth”
— Umar ibn Al-Khattab (radiAllaahu anhu)

“When you do good, praise Allaah, and when you fail, then ask for His forgiveness.”
— Ali ibn Abi Talib (radiAllaahu anhu)

When you remember Allah, clouds of worry and fear are driven away, and mountain that make up your problems are blown away

Allah's decisions are 100% correct, though we don't understand at that moment. Keep trusting Him, He will bring the best for you.

Life is like driving a car. It’s okay to look behind sometimes but keep looking straight because life goes on.

Would you rather shed your fat or shed your sins?

Perhaps both!

Repent whilst working out..

But make sure you're in the right environment.

“Patience is more than holding back tears & screams. It is acceptance of Allah’s Will when difficult & trusting Him in what’s to come.
How many hours have spent in front of the TV? How many hours have you spent striving to have your sins forgiven and become closer to Allah?? No seriously do the math? Scary isn't it!! Now think how it will fell to see that on the day of Judgment!

“Don’t ask for death. It’s coming whether you want it or not. Ask instead for life in obedience of Allah and alleviation of all hardships in this life and the next.”

Your heart prays for what it desires.
And Allah answers its prayer with what is better for it...
you may become sad for not getting what you desired but be certain that what Allah chose for you is better than what you wanted for yourself ♥

“Tears are prayers too. They travel to Allah when we can’t speak”
Be strong enough to let go and patient enough to wait for what you deserve .

Allah has a plan for you

“Things aren’t always as they seem. The Mother of Musa (Alayhi Salam) Umm Musa was told to throw her son in the river, Yusuf (Alayhi Salam) was left for dead in a well, Maryam (radiallahu anha) delivered a child alone, Aisha (radiallahu anha) was accused of a terrible sin, Yunus (Alayhi Salam) was swallowed by a whale, Ibrahim (alayhi salam) was thrown in the fire, Muhammad (Salalahu Alayhi wa Salam) lost the love of his life Khadija (radiallahu anha), and Umm Salamah (radiallahu anha) thought no one could be better than Abu Salamah (radiallahu anhu); Yet look at how it turned out for them in the end.
So don’t worry, Allah has a plan for you.”


Even the sadness of the Muslim benefits him&reduces his sins.So, don't despair
"Sabr (patience) and shukr (gratitude) go together.

When you're not patient, you start complaining. And the fact you're complaining is the sign that you're not grateful

“Keep praying for what it is you seek. Impossibility and possibility are merely concepts of your mind, to Allah nothing is impossible.”


Choose your friends wisely... Fake friends are no different than shadows, they stick around during your brightest moments, but disappear during your darkest hours.



This is a message for every sister :
 

Who got married but doesn't have children: dears
sister, know that Aysha (radhyaAllahu ‘anha) got
married to Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) in a very young age but she has never had
children.  


who was divorced: dear sister, the 2 daughters of Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) got
divorced even though they are the daughters of the
messenger of Allah!
Who got married and is didn't get pregnant yet :
remember dear, the first wife and mother of believers Khadijah (radhyaAllahu ‘anha) got married to
Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam)
when she was 40 years old and she got 6 children
but saidatina Aysha (radhyaAllahu ‘anha) didn't has
children from him (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) even
though she was so young. 

So there is absolutely a Divine Wisdom behind that.
who didn't get married yet and afraid of what
people may say about her: don’t worry dear sister,
marriage is Rizq
from Allah and HE will surely grant it to when HE wills
it and not when you want it. 


Don’t care of what people may say about you, remember that Maryam
(‘alaiha salam) never got married and she is the only
woman who has a whole Surah with her name!
So if not having a husband is a defect, she wouldn't
has been mentioned in Qur’an!

 
Not getting married is not a flaw or a defect but not maintaining chastity is :
The real defect is that a woman doesn't preserve her
purity and chastity.
be patient and be sure that Allah will reward you
greatly for your patience
at the end this Dunya is not about men or getting married but about submitting your will peacefully to
Allah and accept what ever HE decrees for you .

Understanding Problems and Hardships: 1- The biggest problem you will have in your life is the refusal to learn from your problems.2- A problem that brings you closer to Allah is better than a blessing that take you away from Him. The one that got you to it is the one that will get your through it :)3- Every problem has a purpose. If you can identify the purpose of your problem, you will find the solution to your problem. 4-The problems in your life are what made you the refined and great person you are today.

ASK & BEG ALLAH ••►"The time of breaking the fast is a time when du’aa’s are answered, because it is the end of an act of worship, and because a person is usually at his weakest when breaking his fast. The greater a person’s sense of helplessness and weakness is, the closer he is to humility before Allaah."
(Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen)

✦▬THE RANKING OF A PERSON WHO REPENTS▬✦
There was once a butcher who fell in love with the daughter of his neighbors. One day, the girl's parents sent her on an errand to the neighboring town. Seeing that she was alone, the butcher follwed her until she reached a seculeded place, where he made his presence known to her. When he tried to seduce her, the girl said, "Do not do so! Indeed, I love you even more than you love me, but I fear Allah."
The butcher's jaws dropped and he said in self-reproach, "You fear Allah and I don't!" He left her alone and repented for his intentions.
On his way back, he became extremely thirsty. He soon came across a Prophet from the Prophets of the Children of Israel. Noticing the expression on the butcher's face, the Prophet asked, "What is the matter with you?"
"Extreme thirst," said the butcher.
"Let us go supplicate to Allah for rain."
"I have no good deed that makes my supplication worthy of being answered," said the butcher.
"Then let me invoke Allah while you say 'Ameen' to my invocations," said the Prophet.
He then began to supplicate, and the butcher said, 'Ameen,' after each of the supplications.
Suddenly, a cloud appeared, rain fell from it into the nearby town, after which it approached the two men. Wherever the butcher walked, the cloud followed after him, instead of hovering over the Prophet.
"You claim that you have no good deeds," said the Prophet. "Yet despite the fact that it was I who suplicated while you said 'ameen' the cloud shaded the city and then it 
followed you. What is your story?"
The butcher the told him what happened with his neighbor's daughter.
"One who repents to Allah has a ranking that no other person can achieve," said the Prophet.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
By Nasiera Hardy Slamdien

The best friend you can ever have is a friend who does not always agree with everything you say. You need someone with a different world view, who sees things differently, and is not afraid to speak their mind, even if it opposes your viewpoint.You are in bad company, if you do not have someone who has to guts to put you straight, when you are going off track. A true friend will tell you the truth, even if it hurts, they will not allow you to continue down a path which will destroy you. if you have friends who just let you do whatever you like and never correct you when you are wrong, you don't have friends, you have enemies.Even in a love relationship, the Almighty will always pair you with someone with a different world view to stretch you and grow you. You do not need a "Yes man/woman" in your life. You need someone with the guts to tell you straight to your face when you go astray. It will be like medicine, it will not taste good, but it will be good for you. True leaders, don't surround themselves with cheerleaders, they surround themselves with coaches.

"If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely."
(Qu'ran 3:160)

"If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely."
(Qu'ran 3:160)

Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa'ad (RA): that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'Two will not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being called, and at the time of the rain'. [Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah]

'Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls' [reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469]. 

The time of the rain is a time of mercy from Allah (SWT) so, one should take advantage of this time when Allah (SWT) is having mercy on His slaves.

The likeness of those who takes protectors other than Allah is the likeness of a spider who builds a house, but verily, the frailest of the houses is the spider's house - if they but knew (29:41)

Hazrat Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) as saying: "The worst of lies is to pretend to have seen something which he has not seen.''
[Al-Bukhari Book 09, Chapter 87, Hadith # 167].

"No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that." Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W)
(Sahih Al Bukhari vol 7, Book 70, Hadith Number 545)


"Beware of jealousy, for verily it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood." [Abu Dawood]
‘Whosoever chooses to follow guidance, follows it for his own good; whosoever goes astray, goes astray to his own loss.’
(Qur'an al-Isra’ 17: 15)


It was narrated from Mu’adh bin Jabal that the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ took his hand and said: “O Mu’adh, by Allah I love you, by Allah I love you.”
Then he said, “I advise you, O Mu’adh, do not fail following every prayer to say: O Allah help me to remember You, thank You and worship You properly.” اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ ، وَشُكْرِكَ ، وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ (Allahumma a-inni ala dhikrika shukrika wa husni ibadatika)
Narrated by Abu Dawud (1522) and al-Nasai (1303)


It was narrated that Faddalah ibn ‘Ubayd said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard a man making dua after his prayer, but he did not send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “This man is in a hurry.” Then he called him and said to him or to someone else: “When any one of you has finished praying (and makes dua), let him start by praising Allah, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then after that let him ask for whatever he wants.” Al-Albani said: it is a saheeh hadeeth. (See: Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 2765.

★ The Prophet (S) said: Take advantage of five matters before five other matters:
1) Your youth before you become old,
2) Your health before you fall sick,
3) Your richness before you become poor,
4) Your free time before you become busy,
5) Your life before your death.
(Musnad Ahmad)


The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "When the son of Adam dies, all his deeds come to an end, except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge or a righteous son who will pray for him."

“Make the most of five things before five others: LIFE before death, HEALTH before sickness, FREE TIME before becoming busy, YOUTH before old age, and WEALTH before poverty.” [Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 1077.


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Save yourself from hellfire by giving even half a date-fruit in charity."
[Bukhari Volume 2, Hadith 498]

Abdullah Ibn Mas'oud(ra) reported that the Prophet(saw) said, "On the Day of Rising, the feet of the son of Adam will not move until he has been questioned about five things: on how he spent his life; on what he did with his youth; on how he acquired his wealth; on how he spent it; and on how he acted on what he knew."{At-Tirmidhi, 9/253, who classified it as hasan sahih.}



Allah says: O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and you would then seek My forgiveness, I would forgive you. [Hadith Qudsi No. 34; Related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound]

Abu Al-Darda’ said •► Make Du’aa to Allah in your days of comfort, in hopes that He may answer your prayers in days of difficulties.
[Ahmad in 'Al-Zuhd', P. 135, Abu Nu'aim in Al-Hiliya, 1/225]

We tend to forget Allah when everything is seemingly wonderful. When our familes are well, our job and income is great, and our health is just fine. But, we have forgotten that these blessings should only motivate us to draw closer to our Creator.
Allah says •► "And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication." [41:52]

Let's NOT be of those who rely on du’aa only when they encounter hardship, sickness, or when afflicted with a calamity. But once Allah resolves their problems and removes the difficulty, they soon return to their former state of forgetting Him.
Let's be of the strong believers who remain close to Allah in 
hardship and in ease!
"If you don’t have the ability to compete with the pious in righteous deeds, compete with sinners in seeking Allāh’s forgiveness."

When problems are so big and your strength is no
longer enough to carry them, don't give up!
Because, Where your strength ends,
The Grace of ALLAH begins!!


Al-Nawawi said:
The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “And no one humbles himself before Allaah but Allaah will raise him (in status).” [Sahih Muslim, 16/141, Kitab al-birr wa'l-silah wa'-adab, bab istihbab al-'afu wa'l-tawadu'.]

The superiority of good character:
Abu Darda (radiyAllaahu 'anhu) relates that the Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, “Nothing is heavier in the scales of a believer on the Day of Judgement than his good behaviour. Allah detests a person who is obscene and shameless”. [Tirmidhi 3/244, in Abwab al-birr, bab husn al-khalq. He said it is a hasan sahih hadith]

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) saying." By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day." (Bukhari)



Life of sin makes one guilty, uneasy and stressful while a life of obedience makes one innocent, relaxed & empowered. You make the choice. (Sheikh Yusuf Badat)

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Allah is pleased with His slave who says Alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah) when he takes a morsel of food and drinks a draught of water." [Muslim] 

Narrated Um Kulthum bint `Uqba: That she heard Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) saying, "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar." (Bukhari) 

“Whoever provides food for breaking of the fast for a fasting person receives the reward of the fasting person, without the reward of the fasting person being reduced in any way.” [Tirmidhi & Ibn Majah]

Sahl bin Sa`d: The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "In Jannah there is a gate which is called Ar-Raiyan through which only those who observe Saum (fasting) will enter on the Day of Resurrection. None else will enter through it. It will be called out, "Where are those who observe fasting?'' So they will stand up and proceed towards it. When the last of them will have entered, the gate will be closed and then no one will enter through that gate.'' [Muslim] 

"Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. [Surat Ar-Ra'd 13:11] 

If Allah can take away something you never imagined losing,
then He can replace it by something you never imagined owning

Aisha narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The most hated person with Allah is the most quarrelsome person.” [Bukhari]

If Prophet Yunus can remember Allah in the belly of a whale then I'm sure we can all remember Allah when we're at home, at work, driving or doing whatever we're doing when we're awake.
