Eid makes me happy, but what makes me even happier is seeing my Muslim brothers happy. And still, the joy isn’t complete We ask الله to complete it by relieving the suffering of our oppressed brothers, lifting their hardship, and freeing the prisoners. And we ask Him not to deprive us of the greater joy, the joy of entering His Jannah, the joy of His pleasure, and being reunited there with those we love. May الله keep your hearts at ease in this life and the next. تقبَّل الله منَّا ومنكم Eid mubarak to all of you I love you for the sake of الله.

@TheCleanestFit 'absolutely nothing, yet capable of everything' Allah Humma Barik

What's one thing you learnt about yourself this month?

Its a Sunnah to adorn yourself with your best clothes for the day of Eid, But the sisters must be careful not to confuse this with the display of beauty in front of non-Mahrams. Do not let the first day after Ramadan be the day you invite the haram back into your life through Tabarruj or free-mixing with male cousins and relatives who aren't your Mahrams. Fear الله and maintain your Hijab. Realize that your beauty and your honor lie in your Haya and your concealment. May الله protect you, preserve your honor, and increase you in Haya and devotion.

Abu Bakr al-Siddiq رضي الله عنه is the best of men after the Prophets and Messengers. Umar رضي الله عنه said if the Iman of all people of eart were placed on one side of a scale and the Iman of Abu Bakr on the other, the scale of Abu Bakr would outweigh them all. Look at the iron resolve of this man when the Arabs apostatized after the death of the Prophet ﷺ and refused to pay the Zakat. He declared: "By الله, if they withhold from me even a piece of rope that they used to give to the Messenger of الله, I will fight them for it." When Umar, tried to counsel him toward leniency and diplomacy to win the people over, Abu Bakr’s responded saying: "Were you a giant in Jahiliyyah and now a weakling in Islam? The Revelation has ceased and the Deen has been perfected. Shall the Deen be diminished while I am still alive?" What an incredible Himmah. What a mountain of a man. He carried the weight of the entire Ummah and the Deen on his shoulders saying: "Shall the Deen be diminished while I am still alive?" If only you could see us today, O Siddiq. The Deen is being dismantled piece by piece, knot by knot. The blood of the Muslims has become the cheapest blood on earth to our enemies. The sanctities and honors of the believers are violated day and night. Yet, the resolve of the youth is too pathetic to rise for their Deen. The war on Islam hasn't woken them The rivers of blood and the piles of limbs haven't moved them The screams of the chaste women haven't shaken them out of their stupor. Their concerns are no different from those of cattle, obsessed only with their stomachs and their desires. Where are the men who carry the burning concern for this Deen? Where are those who move to support the oppressed and defend the honor of the Muslims? We ask الله to bring us back to Him in a beautiful return, and to use us for His sake and not replace us.

The mark of a man with intellect is that he never rushes into a matter just for the immediate gratification of the moment. Acting on impulse for a fleeting high is the behavior of children. A man of reason looks at the long-term consequence. He bypasses what looks like "sweetness" right now to avoid the bitter pain that will inevitably follow it. He embraces what looks like hardship and bitterness today because he knows thats where the real bliss and happiness are harvested later. If you live like this and you are sincere, you win in this world and the Next. You have to prioritize the Eternal over the immediate. You have to have the Sabr to abandon sins and low desires just to earn the pleasure of Ar-Rahman. You have to have the Sabr to push through acts of worship and drawing closer to Him, because the prize is a Jannah as wide as the heavens and the earth. Don't be in a rush for pleasures that are nothing but the seeds of future sorrow. Be in a rush for the good deeds. What an incredible trade, and what a magnificent profit you gain from the Most Appreciative (Ash-Shakur), who multiplies your smallest effort seven-hundred-fold and more. May الله grant us and you the success to choose what lasts over what fades.

For the believer: "Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but الله Alone) saying (to them): Salamun 'Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of (the good) which you used to do (in the world)."[ النحل: 32] For the Kafir: "And if you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelieve (at death), they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): "Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire."[ الأنفال: 50]

the death of the believer is not like that of the disbeliever

Just as you were able to hold yourself back from sin in Ramadan, then know you can do it after Ramadan by the help of الله. And just as Ramadan passed in the blink of an eye, your life will pass the same way. So be patient. This dunya will end, and the reward of patience is a Jannah as vast as the heavens and the earth, abiding in it forever. So don't sell an eternal life in a Garden that wide for a fleeting desire that leaves behind nothing but regret, humiliation, and punishment.

فإِن تَسأَلَنّي كَيفَ أَنتَ فَإِنَّني صَبورٌ عَلى رَيبِ الزَمانِ صَعيبُ حَريصٌ عَلى أَن لا يُرى بي كَآبَةٌ فَيشمُتُ عادٍ أَو يُساءَ حَبيبُ

If you were to ask me how I am, then indeed I am patient upon the hardships of time, resolute. Eager that no sadness be seen in me, lest an enemy rejoice, or a beloved be distressed. — ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib رضي الله عنه

Imam Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said: "O month of Ramadan, be gentle in your passing, for the tears of the lovers are flowing, and their hearts from the pain of parting are tearing asunder. Perhaps a moment of farewell may extinguish the fires of longing that have scorched the soul. Perhaps an hour of repentance and renunciation may mend what has been torn of our fasting. Perhaps one who was severed from the caravan of the accepted may yet catch up. Perhaps the prisoner of sins may be set free. Perhaps the one deserving of the Fire may be emancipated. Perhaps the mercy of المولى may be granted to the sinner, guiding him to success." [Laṭā’if al-Ma‘ārif]

The Western Kafir woman is caught in a vice between two types of exploitation. One who wants to sell her as a product and another who wants to use her as a target. Both see her through the lens of utility On one side, the "liberals" are arguably the most predatory because they’ve commodified her soul under the guise of "freedom. They convince her that stripping away her modesty is "empowerment," only so they can commodify her body for advertisements, entertainment, and a trillion-dollar industry. They benefit from her being "free" because a woman without a protector is a woman who is easier to exploit, tax, and market to. They convinced her to tear down her own fortress and then charged her for the privilege of standing out in the cold. Then you have this "manosphere" side, men who claim to hate the degeneracy the first side created. They insult women, belittle them, and call them "useless," yet simultaneously using them for clicks, "panels," or pimping them out for profit. This is exactly why we see so many women flocking to Islam. They are waking up to the fact that the "freedom" they were promised is just modern-day slavery. In Islam, a woman is a protected pearl. We honor our women by providing for them and protecting their sanctity, as الله commanded.

@ADAM7H اللهم آمين

inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un Lost one of my friends in a terrible accident in Thailand. May Allah provide his family with sabr and strength during this tough time.

Its reported that Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān رضي الله عنه heard a man saying: “O الله, destroy the hypocrites.” So Ḥudhayfah said: “O son of my brother, if the hypocrites were to perish, you would feel lonely in your streets from the scarcity of those who walk them.” Tafsīr Ibn al-Qayyim, 2/8.

@AyresRinato Akhi, you must revere the words of الله and not use them like its a musical instrument to entertain your ears. We listen to the Quran to ponder its verses and act upon whats in it.

The peak of enslavement for the modern Western woman is that they've turned her into a mere commodity to be displayed and consumed, then programmed her to believe this degradation is the pinnacle of her "freedom." And سبحان الله, when you read about the free women and what freedom actually meant to them, the gulf between a woman of noble dignity and one who has humiliation flowing through her veins becomes clear. Look at Hind bint ‘Utbah. When she was giving her pledge to the Prophet ﷺ and he stipulated that women must not steal or commit Zina, she was shocked. She asked, "O Messenger of الله, does a free woman ever commit Zina?" To her, that was impossible! For a free woman, Zina is a descent into filth and servitude, it is a loss of self-worth that strips her of her status as a "free" woman. Contrast this with the Hadith in Sahih Bukhari where a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and offered herself to him in marriage. The daughter of Anas ibn Malik, who was watching, exclaimed in shock, "How little is her modesty! What a disgrace! What a disgrace!" Anas corrected her, saying, "She is better than you, she desired the Prophet ﷺ and offered herself to him." Observe the Fitrah of the daughter of Anas. She was scandalized by a woman offering herself to the noblest of creation in a Halal and honorable way. If that was her reaction to a Halal proposal, imagine how she would look upon a woman who throws herself into the filth of Zina and Haram. Thats the perspective of a free woman with a sound, uncorrupted Fitrah. We ask الله to protect the Muslim women, to grant them chastity, and to shield them from every Haram. May He make them truly free, pure, pious, and firm upon their Deen.

@qalam_writes Ameen wa iyyak Akhi

@TheCleanestFit Ameen, thank you dear brother. May Allah bless you immensely.

During these last few days of Ramadan, would highly appreciate if you guys could pray for Allah to heal my injury. Both my legs have been injured for well over a year, and simple things like walking can be very painful, Alhamdulilah. May Allah bless you all!

@stethonomad Kind

@laythmoves @Sunnahakh1 I think you are right, my brother. I researched and found that most hadith scholars considered this hadith weak, except for Al-Albani, who considered it 'حسن'. I should have checked more before sharing it. May الله forgive me and reward you on my behalf.

@TheCleanestFit @Sunnahakh1 I dont think this is authentic

ALLĀH INSTRUCTS ANGELS HOW TO RECORD DEEDS Allah says to the angels: إِذَا أَرَادَ عَبْدِي أَنْ يَعْمَلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا تَكْتُبُوهَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَعْمَلَهَا If my servant intends a bad deed, do not record it unless he does it فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا بِمِثْلِهَا
