Don be surprised when a famous Quran recitor is actually a hypocrite! He’s not the first nor the last..the Khawarij and Daesh can be proud of what he recited in his song! The Holy Prophet (s) famously said: ‘How many a reciter of the Qur’an, while the Qur’an curses him.” (Mustadrak Al-Wasa’il, 4/249) Imam Sadiq (a) is reported to have said: ‘A reciter who reads the Qur’an in order to gain favor with rulers and elevate himself over people — he is among the people of the Hell. And a reciter who reads the Qur’an, memorises its letters but neglects its limits (and laws) — he is also among the people of the Fire.’ (Al-Khisal p.143) Don’t listen to his recitations.

The Tawaboon: those who frequently repent. In Arabic, the term denotes regular practice..which means they err frequently too! But Allah (swt) did not say in the Quran that He will accept them only, or just forgive them, or overlook their mistakes and that’s it. He said He loves them! He loves them not to encourage sinning, but for Shaitan not to cause them despair! Whilst our sins are big, His mercy is greater! إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ Indeed Allah loves the penitent Holy Quran 2:222

@malhilli The link to dua is not working….

4 easy and highly rewarding things to do EVERY DAY during #Shaban (as recommended by the Ahlulbayt): 1. Ask Allah (swt) for forgiveness by saying 70 times: أستغفر الله و اسأله التوبة (I seek forgiveness of Allah and I am repentant, beseeching Him.) 2. Say 70 times: اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ ٱلرَحْمٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٱلْحَيُّ   ٱلْقَيُّوْمُ  وَاتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ I seek forgiveness of Allah who “There is no god save He”, the Beneficent, the Merciful; the Ever living, the Eternal, and I turn repentant to Him 3. Give sadaqa (charity) 4. Recite as many times salawat, but especially this dua: duas.org/mobile/shaaban…

Month of Shaban Daily Checklist

Interesting Advice from Ayatollah Sistani: Question: In some Islamic countries, the government allocates a monthly salary to congregational prayer leaders in mosques, and some of them are Shiʿa clerics. What is your esteemed opinion regarding this matter? Answer: We advise the believers (may Allah, Exalted be He, grant them honor) not to pray behind one who receives a government salary. This is not meant as criticism of him nor as a challenge to his integrity or justice, but rather so that these positions—and the stances of those who hold them—remain completely safeguarded from any possible government interference, even in the days to come. sistani.org/arabic/qa/02756

We are now in the Great Month of #Rajab Let’s remember this: 🔸 It’s one of the 4 Sacred حرم months 🔸 It’s named after one of the rivers in Paradise, whiter than milk & sweeter than honey 🔸 In narrations it’s called: Month of Allah 🔸 One of it’s names is اصب: which means: God’s mercy is poured this month on people 🔸Fasting is highly recommended in this month, esp. Mondays & Thursdays & 13-15th days 🔸Seek Forgiveness in this month: Say 70 times in morning and night with remorse: أستغفر الله و اتوب اليه 🔸Give Sadaqa (Charity) throughout 🔸Recite the daily dua ‘Ya man arjuhu..’

‘Sheikh, I don’t like going to Mosques! Is that a problem?’ ‘Yes. Listen to what Imam Sadiq (a) is reported to have said how Allah (swt) has chosen every location of every mosque: ‘It is narrated from Ibn Abī ʿUmayr…who said: I said to Abū ʿAbdillāh (Al-Sadiq): “I dislike praying in mosques.” He replied: “Do not dislike it, for there is no mosque that was built except upon the grave of a Prophet or the successor of a Prophet who was killed, and a sprinkling of his blood reached that place. Allah loves that He be remembered there. So perform the obligatory and recommended prayers there, and make up whatever prayers you have missed there.’ Alkafi, vol.3 p.370 Let’s not neglect our places of worship.

What do we expect from people? You post Islamic advice online, they call you ‘too religious’! You stay silent, they call you a ‘coward’. You work hard at your job, they say ‘he runs after money’. You don’t work, they call you ‘lazy’! The satisfaction of people is a goal that can never be attained! Instead, look for something better. Much bigger. A guarantee for true success. The pleasure that truly matters: Be special with God! وَكَانَ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَجِيهًا '..and he was distinguished in Allah’s sight.' Holy Quran 33:69
