 *Stolen Blessings* [[----Part 6----]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم In the relentless rush of modern life, our inner dialogue often sounds like this: "Let me just finish this work," "Let me sleep a little more," "Let me quickly attend to this, then I will pray." We treat the Swalah as a flexible item on our to-do list, something to be fitted in when convenient. The truth, as established by the Quran and the Sunnah, is that deliberately delaying an obligatory prayer beyond its prescribed time is a major sin that incurs the wrath of Allah and severs the very connection through which His blessings flow. Think of it like this: you can have the most advanced, powerful car in the world, filled with fuel. But if the engine is disconnected from the wheels, all that power and fuel are useless. The engine will roar, but the car will not move. In this analogy, our hard work and resources are the fuel and the engine. Allah's blessing is the drivetrain...

You have plans after work, or are excited for the weekend._ _*But there will be Fridays where you need Kahf. Because it will hit you.*_ ⚡ There is a part in Surah Kahf where Khidr is destroying a boat. Damaging it. Breaking it apart. ★ And this boat belongs to a group of poor individuals. People who are just getting by and need this boat for their livelihood, to fish and to travel, perhaps even to live in it. Musa (A.S) asks Khidr – why? How on earth does that make sense?⁉️ _Imagine that you are that poor person, with a boat. And it is destroyed. And you wonder to Allah – why?_ _I am in need of this promotion, this grade, this job, this...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE WRONG IN THE ACT By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 29, 1447 (17-April-2026) Following the guidance of the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) in both his actions and his abstentions is a defining quality of a true believer. Allāh makes this clear when He says: “Indeed in the Messenger of Allāh (Muḥammad ﷺ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the meeting with) Allāh and the Last Day.” [Sūrah Al-Aḥzāb (33): 21] This establishes a simple and firm principle: whatever the Prophet (ﷺ) practiced, we should practice; and whatever he left, we should leave. Allāh further emphasizes this by saying: “And whatsoever the Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it), and fear Allāh. Verily, Allāh is Severe in punishment.” [Sūrah Al-Ḥashr (59): 7]  Despite this clear guidance, a common practice is observed in some Masājid where the Imām and congregation collectively engage in Du’ā‘ aloud immediately after the obligatory Ṣalāt, includ...

 Muslims Till Death: 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` Thursday 16 April 2027/15th Shawwal 1447 AH ` * *OVERCOME BY COMPASSION AND CONCERN*   On one occasion, ‘Umar bin ‘Abdil ‘Azeez (rahimahullah) sent an emissary to the ruler of Rome. After the emissary had concluded his mission with the ruler, he left his court and began to roam around. While roaming, he passed by a place where he could hear a man reciting the Quraan Majeed and grinding grain. He thus approached the man and greeted him with salaam two or three times, but the man did not reply to his salaam.   Finally, the man replied to his salaam and asked, “How is it that someone is making salaam to me in this land? (i.e. how is it that a Muslim is present here?)” The emissary then explained to the man that he was the emissary of ‘Umar bin ‘Abdil ‘Azeez (rahimahullah), sent to the ruler of Rome.   The emissary then asked the man regarding his condition and what he was doing in the land of Ro...

When I reached home, I found a fire burning. I threw my garment into the fire. The next day when I went to Rasûlullâh (ﷺ), he inquired, ‘where is that sheet?’ I told him what I had done with it. He remarked, “You could have given it to one of the ladies in your house. Women are permitted to wear clothes of that colour.” Hadhrat Abdullah bin Amr Ibnul Aas (رضي الله عنه) was so much perturbed at Rasûlullâh (ﷺ)'s displeasure that he did not hesitate to avail of the first opportunity of doing away with the sheet that caused the displeasure.

 *Stolen Blessing* [[----Part 5----]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم There was an old man called Habib. The sweet, red dates from Old Man Habib’s orchard were the greatest. They were not like other dates; they were impossibly plump, with a honeyed richness that could sweeten a whole month’s bitterness. His people believed the angels themselves watered his trees. Habib was a man of unwavering devotion. His charity was as quiet and constant as the dawn. Habib would say "My orchard is for all the community, not a possession.” But his son, Tariq, saw it differently. He saw not a gift, but a wasted opportunity. “We could be rich, Father!” he’d argue, watching the merchant caravans pass by. “We sell these dates for pennies while others grow fat on inferior fruit. This is not piety, it is foolishness!” Habib would simply shake his head. “Allah’s balance is perfect, my son. Do not tip the scales with greed.” When Habib passed away, the entire village mourned. Tariq, now in poss...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE PERFECT LIFE OF JANNAH By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 27, 1447 (15-April-2026) Sleep is often described as a form of partial death. As Allāh says: “It is He, Who takes your souls by night (when you are asleep)…” [Sūrah Al-An’ām (6): 60] Yet in Jannah (Paradise), sleep will not exist, because death itself will no longer exist. The life of the Hereafter is complete and perfect—free from worry, hardship, pain, or illness. In such a flawless state, there will be no need for rest or sleep. Jābir Ibn ‘Abdullāh (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: “O Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), do the people of Paradise sleep?” The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Sleep is the brother of death, and the people of Paradise do not sleep.” [al-Mu’jam al-Awsaṭ liṭ-Ṭabarānī 919] Even more remarkable is that the people of Jannah will be free from bodily needs such as urination and defecation. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “The firs...

 Muslims Till Death: 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *The Spirit of Generosity* Sayyiduna Hakeem bin Hizaam (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) is a Sahaabi of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) who was blessed with an extraordinarily long life – he passed away at the age of one hundred and twenty! Another unique aspect of his life is that he was born inside the Ka’bah! He was among the leaders of the Quraish and was regarded to be wise and intelligent. When the leaders of the Quraish would enter Daarun Nadwah (the place of council) in order to hold meetings and discuss the affairs of Makkah Mukarramah and its people, then only those people who were forty years of age or older were allowed to participate in the discussion and give their suggestions. However, Sayyiduna Hakeem (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was an exception to this rule. On account of his wisdom and intelligence, he was admitted into Daarun Nadwah at the age of fifteen! Among his many good qualities, one quality t...

 *True Message* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم It doesn't mean that someone who frequently remembers or talk about death is ready to or will die soon. Also, it doesn't mean that someone who completely forgets about or talk about death will not die soon. What matters most is living in this world 🌎 as a someone who have not completely lost focus on the journey he or she have embarked on. This reminds me, A brother visited one of the graveyards and narrated a story of what he saw on the sign-board of that graveyard while entering the graveyard and while going out of the graveyard. Honestly speaking, the messages on that graveyard sign-board should touch every Muslim who have an ATOM of fear of Allah (swt). Yes. Guess what anybody entering and or going out of that particular graveyard will read on the graveyard sign-board: *"We were once like you"* *"You will soon be like us"* 😢😢 Anyone who have ever visited a graveyard for any reason will affirm t...

 FAJR REMINDER: WHATEVER WE WANT… By: Umm Affān Shawwāl 26, 1447 (14-April-2026) The disbelievers have long made it a habit to test the Messengers and the believers, seeking to challenge the truth of Islām. Yet, how can one truly test a man who is taught by Allāh and granted knowledge far beyond human understanding? Thawbān (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that a Jewish rabbi once came to question the Prophet (ﷺ) about certain matters. The Jew asked: “What will be presented to them (i.e. the people of Jannah) first when they enter Paradise? He said: “Caudate lobe of whale liver.” He said: “What food will be given to them after that? He said: “The bull of Paradise, which used to graze along its edge, will be slaughtered for them.” He said: “What will their drink be?” He said: “From a spring there that is called Salsabīl.” [Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim 315] Indeed, Jannah (Paradise) is a place of pure enjoyment, where its people will delight in eating and drinking without hardship or limitation. Allāh s...

BismilLah.  CONTEXT / BACKGROUND OF THE SUURAH: Suurah Al-A‘la was revealed in Makkah early in the Prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It came at a time when: The message of Islam was still new and being rejected by many in Makkah. The Prophet ﷺ was being reassured and strengthened. The focus was on Tawheed (Oneness of ALLAH), revelation, and accountability.  This Suurah emphasizes on: Glorifying ALLAH Azzawajal,  Trusting in divine revelation, The success of those who purify themselves, A reminder that guidance has always been sent before (e.g., scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa). Verse 1 سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High. Commentary: ALLAH Azzawajal commands us to declare HIS perfection, HE is above all نقص (imperfection). This includes saying SubḥānAllāh and living in a way that hono...
