Abu Said Al-Khudri narrated, “A man heard another man reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas repeatedly. He went to the Prophet and informed him, thinking that the recitation of this Surah alone was not enough. Allah’s Apostle replied, 'By him in whose hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Quran."

Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 60, Hadith 493

إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا

Some pains in life cannot be alleviated by the warmth of others, nor by their eloquence in comforting us. These pains were created to bring us closer to Allah, so we may prostrate and draw near to Him. They were created to reveal that within our hearts, there are fragments that no one has the power to mend except Allah, whispering to us in our pain with the voice of certainty: 'No one possesses comfort but Allah.'

He takes care of your affairs while everything around you is filled with misfortune, and when all hands around you disappear. We need only to mend our relationship with Allah for life to blossom into a spring of happiness for us.

Have no fear, for Allah is with us. [9:40]

# Warning ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said :

"From among my followers, there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful." ( all of these are forbidden)

?: Sahih Bukhari 5590

NOTE : Silk  is haraam for men only not for women (Sunan an-Nasa'i 5148). The rest of the things – zina, alcohol, and music – is haraam for both. Wallahu alam!

Taqwa is the key to success
Allah, may He be Glorified and Exalted, has commanded us to fear Him (Taqwa) , and He has told us that Taqwa is the key to success and prosperity in this world and the hereafter, as He, may He be Glorified and Exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

{O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]} [Al `Imran 3:102]

{And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and fears Allah and is conscious of Him - it is those who are the attainers.} [An-Nur 24:52]

And He tells us that He, may He be Glorified, is with those who fear Him:

{Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.} [An-Nahl 16:128]

They are those who will attain salvation and success in this world and the hereafter, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

{And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allah.} [Fussilat 41:18]

{Then We will save those who feared Allah} [Maryam 19:72]

{Indeed, for the righteous is attainment.} [An-Naba’ 78:31].

The righteous among the believers are the allies or close friends of Allah:

{Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve,

Those who believed and were fearing Allah.} [Yunus 10:62-63]

And there are many similar verses.

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“How could I not to love the One who imparted me with my senses and bestowed on me knowledge I enjoy!?

The appreciation of knowledge and the means by which I grasp knowledge surpasses all other tangible enjoyments for, indeed, He is the One who taught me, created my awareness, and guided me to what I have grasped.”

[Captured Thoughts | Pg. 140]

“Those who were born in a storm do not fear the wind.”

“Shaytan can never have access to your heart unless you give him the keys.”

The world is not for us, and we are not for the world, we are all for Allah.
To Him we belong and to Him we shall return.
