Hajj and Umrah

Life is chaotic. I need a two week reset in Madina. 🥺

Kssowkssmkb

Can we normalizing being pleased with Allahs Delay and take it as a good sign?????

💔 HOW DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER YOU WHEN YOU DIE?

Dear brothers and sisters, please take a moment and reflect on this question.

When your time in this Dunyā comes to an end, what will people remember you for?

📌 Will they remember you for:

• -The lies you told?
• -The jokes you made at the expense of others?
• -The oppression and injustice you committed?
• -The hypocrisy you displayed?

Or will they remember you for something that genuinely benefited them?

📌 Will they remember you because:

• -You used your wealth to provide food, clean water, clothing, and shelter for those in need?
• -You helped someone pay their medical bills when they had nowhere else to turn?
• -You supported orphans, widows, and struggling families?
• -You taught people beneficial knowledge and reminded them of Allah?
• -You made someone's difficult life a little easier, seeking only the pleasure of Allah?

💔 THINK ABOUT IT.

If people remember you for your lies and hurtful jokes, they may laugh about them after your death. Some may even forget your jokes and come up with new ones.

If people remember you for your oppression and hypocrisy, you may leave behind hearts that are wounded rather than people who remember you with goodness.

But if you were someone who helped others sincerely for the sake of Allah, perhaps someone you helped will remember you in their Duʿā.

Perhaps a family will still have food because of what you provided. Perhaps a child will receive an education because you supported them. Perhaps someone will remember the beneficial knowledge you taught them and continue practising it.

And even after you die, the reward of certain good deeds can continue.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”

📖 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1631

Dear Muslim,

you will not remain in this world forever. Your wealth, status, popularity, and position will eventually be left behind.

So, while you are still alive, ask yourself:

Am I making life better for people, or am I leaving pain in their hearts?

Am I using my tongue to spread lies, or to speak the truth?

Am I using my wealth only for myself, or am I also helping those who are struggling?

Am I chasing people's attention, or am I seeking the pleasure of Allah?

Remember, we cannot guarantee that everyone will speak well of us after we die. Nor can we know the final judgement Allah will make about us. But we can strive to leave behind beneficial deeds, treat people justly, seek forgiveness when we wrong them, and sincerely repent to Allah.

LIVE SO THAT YOUR GOOD DEEDS OUTLIVE YOU.

May Allah make us people whose lives benefit others, whose tongues speak truth, whose wealth serves good causes, and whose deeds continue to bring benefit after death.

May Allah forgive our shortcomings, accept our sincere deeds, and grant us a beautiful ending.

Āmīn, Yā Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn. 🤲🏽

WHEN ALLAH GIVES YOU THE POWER TO HELP OTHERS, PLEASE DO NOT WASTE THAT OPPORTUNITY.

Dear brothers and sisters,

When you are in a position to make life easier for others, please do so.

Yes, it is your wealth. You worked for it, and you have the right to manage it responsibly. But remember, you have choices.

You can choose to:

• -Spend your wealth wisely.
• -Avoid extravagance and unnecessary luxury.
• -Help the poor and those struggling in silence.
• -Support orphans, widows, and needy families.
• -Give Ṣadaqah and spend fī sabīlillāh sincerely for the sake of Allah.

REMEMBER THIS REALITY:

The wealth you spend in charity for Allah’s sake is a good deed you have sent ahead for your Hereafter, by Allah’s permission.

But the wealth you keep will not remain yours forever. One day, you will leave this Dunyā, and what you accumulated may become an inheritance for those who survive you.

You can spend your entire life accumulating wealth, only to leave it behind when your time is over.

So, why not use some of what Allah has entrusted to you to benefit others while you are still alive?

Allah ﷻ says:

لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ

“Never will you attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love.”

📖 Qur’an 3:92

Dear Muslim,

you do not have to be a billionaire before you can help someone. Even a small, sincere act of charity can mean a great deal to someone who is struggling.

Do not wait until you have everything before you start giving. And do not spend so much on worldly pleasures that you forget those who need your help.

May Allah make us generous without extravagance, wealthy without arrogance, and among those who use their blessings to please Him. May He accept our Ṣadaqah and make it a source of reward for us in the Hereafter.

Āmīn. 🤲🏽

EARN LAWFULLY. SPEND WISELY. GIVE SINCERELY.

AND SEND GOOD DEEDS AHEAD BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD.

IMAGINE STANDING BEFORE ALLAH ON THE DAY OF QIYĀMAH, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT YOUR DEEDS WERE NOT DONE SINCERELY FOR HIM.

Dear brothers and sisters, this is a reminder we all need.

You prayed, but who were you trying to impress?

You gave Ṣadaqah, but were you hoping people would praise you?

You recited the Qur’an, but was your intention to seek Allah’s pleasure or to make people admire your voice?

You posted Islamic reminders, but were you hoping to benefit others or simply increase your followers and reputation?

You helped the poor, but did you secretly want people to see you as generous?

THIS IS THE DANGER OF RIYĀ’ — SHOWING OFF IN WORSHIP.

You may impress thousands of people on this earth, but you cannot deceive Allah, who knows what is hidden in your heart.

The Prophet ﷺ said that Allah is free of all need of partners, and whoever performs a deed associating someone else with Him in it will be left with that deed and its association.

📖 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2985

And Allah ﷻ says:☝️

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ ۝ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ ۝ الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ

“So woe to those who pray, [but] who are heedless of their prayer — those who make show [of their deeds].”

📖 Qur’an 107:4–6

Imagine how painful it would be to arrive on the Day of Judgment, hoping for a great reward, only to discover that your intention was corrupted by the desire for people's admiration.

DO NOT LIVE FOR THE PRAISE OF PEOPLE AND FORGET THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH.

Before you perform a good deed, examine your intention.

While doing it, keep your heart sincere.

After doing it, ask Allah to accept it.

Do good deeds in public when there is benefit in doing so, and do good deeds in private that nobody knows about except Allah.

And remember: being seen doing a good deed does not automatically mean you are showing off. What matters is your intention. If you struggle with thoughts of showing off, do not abandon good deeds; renew your intention and keep striving for sincerity.

PURIFY YOUR INTENTIONS.
DO YOUR DEEDS FĪSABĪLILLĀH FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH NOT FOR FAME, PRAISE, FOLLOWERS, OR RECOGNITION.

May Allah protect us from hidden and open ri yā’, purify our hearts, accept our righteous deeds, and make our private and public actions sincerely for His sake.

Āmīn, Yā Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn. 🤲🏽

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO DO GOOD DEEDS. SEEK TO DO THEM SINCERELY FOR ALLAH.

It will be heartbreaking when on the day of Qiyamah (judgement ) you think you’ve done so many good deeds, but they’re rejected because of Riyah (Show off).

Purify your intentions, do your acts fisabilillah, not bc you want recognition or something.

A REMINDER ABOUT ṢADAQAH: WHAT YOU GIVE FOR ALLAH IS NEVER A WASTE.

Dear brothers and sisters, let us reflect on where our wealth truly goes.

💰 THE MONEY YOU GIVE IN ṢADAQAH FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH IS LIKE A DEPOSIT FOR YOUR HEREAFTER.

You may think you are losing money when you give to the poor, feed the hungry, support an orphan, help someone in hardship, or contribute to a beneficial cause.

But remember: what you give sincerely for Allah is not lost with Him.

Allah ﷻ says:☝️☝️☝️

مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً

“Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over?”

📖 Qur’an 2:245

And Allah ﷻ says:☝️☝️

مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّائَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills.”

📖 Qur’an 2:261

ONE DAY, YOU WILL LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND.

Your money, your house, your cars, your clothes, your business, and everything you worked so hard to accumulate will eventually pass into other people's hands.

You will not take your bank balance into your grave.

But the righteous deeds you sincerely sent ahead may benefit you in the Hereafter by Allah's mercy.

The Prophet ﷺ said that when a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for them.

📖 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1631

Imagine standing before Allah and seeing the reward of charity you gave secretly, the food you provided to someone who was hungry, or the help you offered to someone in need.

You may wish you had given more while you still had the opportunity.

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU BECOME RICH BEFORE YOU GIVE ṢADAQAH.

Give according to your means. Even a small, sincere act of charity matters. Do not neglect your own essential responsibilities or the rights of those who depend on you, but do not let greed prevent you from helping others.

And remember: give sincerely for Allah, not for praise, attention, or recognition from people.

THE WEALTH YOU LEAVE BEHIND WILL BELONG TO THOSE WHO INHERIT IT. THE GOOD DEEDS YOU SEND AHEAD ARE WHAT YOU HOPE TO FIND IN YOUR RECORD.

May Allah accept our Ṣadaqah, purify our wealth, provide for those in need, bless our lawful earnings, and make our charity a source of reward for us in the Hereafter.

Āmīn, Yā Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn.

A REMINDER TO MYSELF AND EVERYONE LISTENING 🕌🤲🏽

When Allah places you in a position where you can make life easier for others, please do so. Don’t wait until someone begs you. Don’t wait until their situation becomes worse before you show kindness.

It is your wealth, but remember that wealth is a test from Allah. You have choices to make:

• -Spend wisely, not recklessly.
• -Avoid extravagance and unnecessary waste.
• -Help the poor, the needy, orphans, widows, and those struggling silently.
• -Give Sadaqah sincerely, seeking only the pleasure of Allah.
• -Never look down on someone simply because they have less than you.

Allah says:

﴿لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ﴾

“Never will you attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love.”

📖 Surah Aal ‘Imran 3:92

Think about it: the money you spend on yourself will eventually run out. The wealth you leave behind will pass to your heirs. But the sincere charity you give for the sake of Allah is a deed you can hope to find in your record on the Day of Judgment.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

«اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ»

“Protect yourselves from the Fire, even if by giving half a date in charity.”

📚 Sahih al-Bukhari 1417; Sahih Muslim 1016

SubhanAllah!

You don’t have to be a millionaire to help someone. Sometimes, a small amount of money, a meal, a kind word, or helping someone through a difficult situation can make a difference.

My brothers and sisters, life is temporary. One day, our hands will no longer be able to give, our accounts will no longer be under our control, and the wealth we worked so hard to collect will be left behind.

So, while Allah has given you the ability to help, help sincerely. Don’t give just to be praised, to go viral, or to make people admire you. Give for the sake of Allah, whether people see it or never know about it.

🤲🏽 May Allah make us generous without extravagance, humble when we have wealth, patient when we have little, and sincere in everything we give. May He accept our Sadaqah and make it a means of reward for us in this life and the Hereafter. Ameen.

This reminder is for me before it is for anyone else. Allah knows best.
