"A believer does not get bitten from the same pit twice." Prophet Muhammad pbuh
"The Almighty does not have mercy upon the one who has no mercy upon people."
Prophet Muhammad pbuh
"Seize five before five:
Your youth before old age.
Your wealth before poverty.
Your health before illness.
Your free time before occupation.
Your life before death."
Prophet Muhammad pbuh

React sensibly...
When people try to instigate us through their
actions or words, by reacting typically we allow them to control us
& to succeed in their dirty plans.
Some people study typical reactions of others, then do whatever it takes to get them into the corner they want to & cunningly but convincingly blame them.
To avoid being controlled by others, react sensibly rather than typically, no matter what is said or done.
Think very hard before saying or doing anything & remember, you do not have to react or respond to everything the way people want you to.

Be sincere...
For as long as you are sincere & would like to learn, no question is silly or stupid.
Choose the correct words, time, place & person and ask whatever you would like to know.
Also, don't laugh or scoff at those asking questions. They will learn whilst you might be left behind.

Facts of life...
I have just learned that some people have so
much going on in their lives that due to their sadness they can't smile.
Try anyway. It helps.
I don't understand why some people never have a friendly expression on their faces let alone a smile. You make the change please.
"If they are not pleased with the Almighty, don't expect them to be pleased with you. "
A sign of the hour is when the innocent are considered guilty & the guilty considered innocent. Be alert.
"Do not spoil what you HAVE by desiring what you don't HAVE, for what you HAVE is desired by many around the world who don't HAVE."
The Shariah is in place to protect the life, the brain, the wealth, the lineage & the faith for everyone. The five basics.

Make the time...
Overworking oneself is very destructive if it is made a habit & can cause significant mental, physical & social damage.
It can also destroy family ties, break up marriages, result in loss of children to drugs etc.
Of what use are those earnings when things around us are crumbling.
Take a break with the family for a weekend. Make the time for those closest to you & spend the money you have earned on them!

Things do not HAVE to be perfect!
Being a perfectionist & expecting others
to be the same can sometimes result in the breakup of a marriage, the
disintegration of a family & much more.
We must realize that every person has his or her own style, ways & habits. Not everybody will be able to do what we want as we want it & the way we do it.
As children grow we can help improve them if we are gentle & tactful when correcting them. Being critical of everything a child or family member does can create disastrous complexes within them.
Things do not HAVE to be perfect!
For as long as it is not a sin, the trial is sufficient & we must adjust too!

Wise words...
"Whenever you are alone, remind yourself that the Almighty has sent everybody away so that it's only you and Him."
"Always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them."
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, but it only saps today of all joy, so do your best, trust in the Almighty & don't worry, be happy.

The great test...
The test of the rich is how humble they remain
as they gain wealth & how grateful they are to the Almighty who is
the sole Owner of all wealth.
This gratitude is displayed by increasing acts of worship, obeying commands & abstaining from prohibitions.
The humility is gauged by the attitude towards fellow human beings, the manner of spending, the ability to fight off the urge to have a say in everything, dominate & control solely due to the amount of wealth we have.
This test ends either when we become poor once again or when we die leaving behind whatever we had amassed for our heirs to fight over in most cases.
Beware of the dangers of this great test!

O' Allah, I Love You So Much...
The Almighty gives us so much without us
asking, so if He doesn't give what we ARE asking for He knows it's
better for us not to have it.
When the Almighty has given us the means to achieve something, then prayer on its own without the effort, proves lack of understanding.
The damage done by actions or utterances in a fit of rage can be detrimental so strive to control your temper.
Your dress includes your character & your behaviour speaks volumes about your dressing so dress decent in every aspect of the word.
Reach out to the distressed as best as you can. One day when in distress the world will reach out to you.
Three categories of people we should pray for today & everyday. The deceased, the sickly & the distressed.
Call out to the Almighty Alone & He will meet your needs. His Help is very close & He is even closer.
For the sinful, piety is a step away & for the pious, becoming sinful is a step away too, so don't underestimate Satan's plan.

Ameen...
Before performing Sal'ah (prayer) have you ever thought that:
While you are listening to Adhan, the Compeller of heaven and earth is calling you to meet Him?
While you are making Wudu, you are preparing yourself to meet The KING of all the Kings?
While you are on the road to go to the Masjid or going to your prayer mat , you are responding the call of ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), the Great Lord of the Mighty Throne !
While you are making Takbirat al Ihram, you are standing between the hands of you Creator The Authoritative
While you are reciting Sura'h Al Fatiha, you are in a private and intimate conversation with Your Lord, The All Hearing, The All Knowing
While you are performing the gestures of Sal'ah, Angels (whose number is known only by ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)), are still in ruku and others are still in sujud for thousands of years!
While you are in sujud, you are in the greatest and the most beautiful place: near to your Lord, The One and Only !!
While you are making tasleem (salams at the end of prayer), the most beautiful feeling that you can have in that moment is that you can’t wait the next sal'ah to meet your Lord The Most Compassionate, The Merciful !!
Oh ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) grant persons who read this the highest level of Jann'ah, and save them from hell fire, Allah Humma Aa'meen
Da'wah ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)

Warnings About Missing the Fajr Prayer
The Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:
Taken from Islamic Teachings For Women in FB
Wise words... Subhanallah...
When a bend of sin turns you away from the
Almighty, straighten the wheel quickly with repentance & you will
find Him waiting for you with forgiveness.
Prove Your Love Daily
What’s the
point of trying to impress the women of the world and send them gifts
with messages, emails, phone calls, cards, roses etc when the wife you
chose and the “Queen” who bore your children is ignored. She deserves
all that and more!
How can one day be set aside for love when the year has 365+ days? It’s a cheap way to run away from responsibility and abuse women. A daily sacrifice is required to prove love, and the sweetest of statements which should be reflected in our behaviour should be routinely repeated – but to those who really deserve them!
The most deserving of our kindness, love and affection throughout our lives are our spouses, children, parents, siblings & family before everyone else. Don’t jump the gun by going further at the expense of those closer.
Did you know that many homes are broken on Valentines over a rose! Where did it comes from, why was it sent, why was it not sent etc. What a great deception.
Blessed are those who are conscious of their Maker for indeed a true believer is transparent & avoids all sinful hidden private secret relations that only add stress in life after the short excitement.
Let’s not be from those who “Fought-in February”

Gentle reminders...
Gentle reminders from Mufti Ismail Menk...
If you are trying to be steadfast & Satan whispers, be assured that you are heading in the right direction so don't fall for his attempts.
"The book that you will be surprised to read although you authored it is your own book of deeds on the day of Judgement so author it well."
If we enjoy causing pain to others, remember it won't be enjoyable when pain returns to us one day.
Be mindful of how you praise people, for exceeding the limits in praise can affect your relation with the Owner of all Praise.
People are good but Satan is bad. Fight the devil within to begin with & see how many solutions you find.

Do your best and let God do the rest...
A gentle reminder from Mufti Ismail Menk. May this reminder help others as much as it helps me to stay on the right path, Amiiin.
***
When things do not go exactly the way we wanted, when we do not achieve what we have tried so hard to achieve or when we feel so let down by others, then always know that for as long as we have faith and trust in the Almighty, He definitely has something better in store for us, has saved us from a calamity or disaster that would have been in our path or has elevated our status through surrendering to His decree.
We are not considered believers until we are pleased with the Decisions of the Almighty.
This will save us from much anxiety and depression.
Try your best and leave the rest to Him.
