“I take Allah’s Refuge from being among Al-Jahilun

Dua from the Quran

(2:67) And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: “Verily, Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow.” They said, “Do you make fun of us?” He said, 

“I take Allah’s Refuge from being among Al-Jahilun (the ignorants or the foolish).”

live as long as you want, for you will die. Love whomever you want...

Jibreel came to me and said: O Muhammad, live as long as you want, for you will die. Love whomever you want, for you will leave him. Do whatever you want for you will be requited for it. Remember that the believer’s honour is his praying at night, and his pride is his being independent of people.

Darkness in your heart..


Imam Abu'l-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi:

“If you find a darkness in your heart after you sinned , know then that in your heart there is light, because of this light you felt the darkness.” 

(Rowdathul Muhibeen, 2/112).

The Dajjal hadith...


The fitnah of the Dajjaal will be the greatest fitnah from the time Allaah created Adam until the Hour begins. This will be because of the mighty miracles that Allaah will create with him, which will dazzle people’s minds and amaze them.


The word “Dajjaal” became a title given to the lying, one-eyed, false messiah. The Dajjaal is so called because he will conceal his kufr from the people by lying to them, deceiving them and confusing them. 


According to the hadeeth of Umaamah al-Baahili (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said of the Dajjaal: “Part of his fitnah will be that he will say to a Bedouin, Do you think that if I resurrect your father and mother for you that you will testify that I am your lord?’ He will say, ‘Yes.’ So two devils will appear to him in the image of his father and mother, saying, ‘O my son, follow him for he is your lord.’” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, no. 4067. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani, Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, hadeeth 7752). 


the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Dajjaal will come to this pond in Marriqanaat – a valley in Madeenah – and most of those who go out to him will be women, until a man will come to his mother in law, his mother, his daughter, his sister and his aunt, and will tie them up strongly for fear that they will go out to him.” (Narrated by Ahmad, no. 5099) 

Hudhayfah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The Dajjaal will be one-eyed, blind or defective in his left eye, with thick hair. He will have with him a paradise and a hell, but his hell will be a paradise and his paradise will be a hell.’” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 5222). 

According to the hadeeth of Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No Prophet was sent but he warned his people about the one-eyed liar. He is one-eyed, but your Lord is not one-eyed, and between his eyes will be written ‘kaafir.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 6598). According to another report: “Written between his eyes will be ‘kaaf faa’ raa’.’” (Muslim, no. 5219) According to a report narrated by Hudhayfah, “This will be read by every believer, literate or illiterate.” (Muslim, no. 5223).

"I" The Prophet said, "I saw over thirty angels competing....


Narrated Rifa'a bin Rafi AzZuraqi:

One day we were praying behind the Prophet. When he raised his head from bowing, he said, "Sami'a-l-lahu Liman hamida." A man behind him said, "Rabbana walaka-l hamd hamdan Kathiran taiyiban mubarakan fihi" (O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and blessed praises). When the Prophet completed the prayer, he asked, "Who has said these words?" The man replied, "I" The Prophet said, "I saw over thirty angels competing to write it first." The Prophet rose (from bowing) and stood straight till all the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position.

Sahih al-Bukhari Book 12 Hadith 764

Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will....


Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah).
17:36

...The (only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali..


(12:101) ...The (only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali (Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian, etc.) in this world and in the Hereafter, cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and join me with the righteous.

rain hadith ..


anan (b.Malik) reported: It rained upon us as we were with the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam).

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) removed his cloth (from a part of his body) till the rain fell on it.
We said : Messenger of Allah, why do you do this?
He said: "It is because it (the rainfall) has just come from The Exalted Lord."

-Sahih Muslim: Book 4: 1960


Therefore this is a sunnah!
*However of course women must be careful not to expose themselves to non-mahram men

SubhanAllah...Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “The command to glorify Him (by saying Subhan Allaah) also implies declaring Him to be above every fault and shortcoming, and affirming the attributes of perfection for Him. Tasbeeh implies declaring Him to be above any fault and venerating Him, and veneration implies affirming praiseworthy attributes for which He is praised, and that implies declaring Him to be above any faults, praising Him, magnifying Him and affirming His Oneness.”

Reminding of Allahs Blessing by the springing of Water...


Reminding of Allahs Blessing by the springing of Water...

Surah Al-Mulk/ The Sovereignty

Reminding of Allahs Blessing by the springing of Water and the Threat of It being taken away Demonstrating how merciful He is to His creatures,

Allah says;
"Say: "Tell me! If your water were to sink away...'' [67:30]
- meaning, if it were to go away, disappearing into the lowest depths of the earth, then it would not be reachable with iron axes nor strong arms. `Gha'ir' (sinking) as used here in the Ayah, is the opposite of springing forth. This is why Allah says,
"who then can supply you with flowing water" [67:30]
- meaning, springing forth, flowing, running upon the face of the earth. This means that no one is able to do this except Allah. So, it is merely out of His favor and His grace that He causes water to spring forth for you, and He makes it run to the various regions of the earth in an amount that is suitable for the needs of servants, be it little or abundant. So Allah's is all the praise and thanks. 


Let's try to remember and thank Allah for giving us the huge blessing of water, alhamdulilah!
Guide us so we are grateful to You and always be pleased with us, Ameen


Allah knows Every Matter, whether Small or Big

Allah knows Every Matter, whether Small or Big, and He rewards Each according to His or Her Deeds

Allah asserts that He is the King and Owner of the heavens and earth and that He is independent of the need for anyone. He is the authority over His creation and rules them with justice. He created the creation in truth,
"that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good, with what is best." [53:31]
- He recompenses each according to his or her deeds, good for good and evil for evil.


May Allah make us do lots of good and protect us from evil Ameen
