الله أكبر: قيامك مع الإمام في صلاة التراويح يعدل قيام ليلة كاملة ولو كنت على فراشك نائم Allahu Akbar: Praying Taraweeh with the imam is equal to praying the entire night, even if you are asleep in your bed

Which is better to do when Ramadan starts: to begin a new completion or to continue your current completion of the Qur’an? أيهما أفضل لمن دخل عليه شهر رمضان: أن يبدأ بختمة جديدة أم يكمل ختمته من قراءة القرآن؟

الموت يأتي بغتة Death comes suddenly

A remarkable story mentioned by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him): He رحمه الله said: “I was told by someone I trust that a man used to prevent his wife from giving charity to any poor person who knocked at their door. One day, a poor man knocked and said that he had no clothes to protect him from the cold. The wife felt compassion for him and gave him a cloak and three dates. Meanwhile, her husband was sleeping in the mosque. He saw in a dream that the Day of Resurrection had begun, and the people were in a great turmoil, intense heat, and a blazing sun. Then he saw a cloak shading his head, but it had three holes in it. He then saw three dates come and fill those holes. He was astonished and woke up frightened. He told his wife about the dream, and she understood that the dream was connected to the cloak she had given in charity and the three dates. She said to him: ‘Such and such happened.’ He replied: ‘Do not turn away any poor person after today.’ So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, admonished this man. This is in accordance with the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: “Every person will be under the shade of his charity on the Day of Resurrection until Allah judges between the people.” Reference: 📗 شرح كتاب الرقائق من صحيح البخاري وشرح عقيدة أهل السنة والجماعة، للشيخ ابن عثيمين (صـ: 6)

Even a tiny space in Paradise, the size of a whip, is better than the entire world and everything in it - Dr. Saleh as-Saleh [Audio | Text] alhamdulillah, the audio clip fully transcribed abdurrahman.org/2018/07/05/a-s… via @AbdurRahmanOrg

The Imam of Masjid An-Nabawi, Sheikh Khalid Al-Muhanna, said: “Taking sins lightly, even small ones, destroys good deeds, and the truly bankrupt is the one who wronged people despite his worship.”

Lowering the Gaze & the Sweetness of Iman - Shaykh Abdussalam al Shuwayir حفظه الله youtube.com/watch?v=qzyStw… [4 min] abdurrahman.org/2025/08/22/low… The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “O youth, whoever amongst you is able to get married, then get married”. And this shows us the emphasis of performing this action and it is from the affairs that are pleasing to Allah. Indeed, it helps lower the gaze and protects the private parts. Lowering the gaze, O noble brothers, is from the affairs that Allah commanded us with in His Book. Allah says addressing the men: “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts.” (Al-Nur: 30) Then He addresses the women and says: “Tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts.” (Al-Nur:31) This lowering of the gaze is from the affairs that has a place in the heart. Due to this Allah (ﷻ) coupled the lowering of the gaze with the action of the heart. Allah said: “Allah knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal.” (Al-Ghafir:19) Therefore, you might be walking with your friend and you might look at something while he doesn’t know what you are looking at. And perhaps you might sneak a glance at something that is prohibited and he doesn’t know what it is you are looking at. Therefore, it is stated in the Hadith that is with Ahmad and al-Hakim, the Hadith of Ibn Mas’ud, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever lowers his gaze from what Allah prohibits, while he is able to look at it, wanting what is with Allah (ﷻ), He will place in his heart the sweetness of Iman”. And the people of knowledge say that the reason for the sweetness of Iman, after the Tawhid of Allah (ﷻ) and making one’s worship sincerely for Him, by freeing the heart from being attached to other than Him, is giving concern to those acts of worship done in secret. Therefore, an individual will not find an act of worship whereby he tastes the sweetness of Iman like the night prayer and spending in secret because only Allah (ﷻ) knows when one spends his wealth in secret. And wealth possesses sweetness and love in the heart. And from them is lowering the gaze and restraint. During these times, lowering the gaze has become from the difficult affairs. An individual can be in his home with the doors closed and curtains drawn. And no one knows anything about him except Allah (ﷻ). Then he looks at his phone or at the screen in front of him. So he is looking at matters that are prohibited that no one else can see. However, if he remembers what is with Allah (ﷻ), and then he lowers his gaze hoping for what is with Allah (ﷻ), then let him rejoice because he will taste the sweetness of Iman. This is what the Prophet (ﷺ) said. Many people say: I heard that Sufyan said that ‘there is a tremendous sweetness in seeking knowledge’, but I don’t experience it. And I heard that Ibrahim Ibn Adh’ham said that ‘there is a pleasure in the night prayer, if the children of the kings knew, they would fight us for it with their swords’, but I don’t experience it. And I heard that Abdullah Ibn Zubayr said that when he would stand for his prayer, he would be so preoccupied with his worship that he wouldn’t know who was beside him, to the extent that a hornet would come to him and sting him several times and he still wouldn’t move. Then he would say: I was preoccupied from it. And in the Sunan of Abi Dawud, one of the companions would be shot by an arrow and he didn’t break his prayer saying: I was reading a Surah that is more beloved to me than the worldly life and all that is in it. These affairs benefitted these people, but we don’t experience in our hearts what they experienced, due to two reasons that I mentioned to you earlier which is the issue of the actions of the heart, being attached to Allah (ﷻ), from negating partners and making one’s worship sincere. And from the types of making one’s worship sincerely for Allah is the sincerity of the actions of the heart. So you don’t rely upon, nor seek aid from, nor hope from, nor fear except Allah (ﷻ). And the second affair is giving concern to the acts of worship that are done in secret. And the Shaykh Taqi al-Din has a priceless statement regarding the acts of worship done in secret that he included in his book al-Istiqamah. And how it is that everyone has a door regarding acts of worship done in secret opened for him that are not opened for others. Therefore, giving concern to the acts of worship done in secret is important, in agreement to the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ): Indeed, it helps lower the gaze… Along with striving against the soul, the individual takes the means and from them is marriage.

The happy one is the one who steers clear from the Fitan - Shaykh Abdurrazzaq al Badr حفظه الله youtu.be/eeUkm3DnY-w [4 min]

⚠️Many Students Seek Knowledge for Different Reasons⚠️ Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, wrote: “Many students of knowledge do not seek knowledge except for the attainment of leadership or wealth - and for each person is that which he intended. As for the people of knowledge and religion - those who are truly its people - they seek it for the benefit it brings them, and because of their need for it in this world and the Hereafter. That is why you find the people who truly benefit from it purifying their souls through it, aiming in it to follow the truth, not to follow desires. They tread in it the path of justice and fairness, love it and find delight in it, love its abundance and the abundance of its people, and their ambitions are stirred to act upon it and upon what it necessitates and entails. This is unlike the one who has not tasted its sweetness, and whose goal is nothing but wealth or leadership - for if that came to him through another path, he would take it, and perhaps even prefer it if it were easier for him.” [Minhaajus-Sunnah, 8/210]

Life is a test and we always need to remember gratitude to Allah in every situation. No matter how many challenges, you may have had in your marriage or with your children… So many people never get to experience marriage at all… Or never get to have children at all… So despite whatever difficulties we may go through, our situation is still so much better than maybe tens of millions or hundreds of millions of other people. But the affair of the believer is ALWAYS good: if they are harmed and their patient, then that is what’s good for them, and if they get what makes them happy and they are thankful, then that is what’s good for them; and this tremendous virtue is only for a Believer…
