Islam

Not everyone woke up today with:

• Another chance to repent
• Another prayer to pray
• Another page of Qur’an to read
• Another du’a to make
• Another day to do good

Don’t waste what others wish they had.

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in GOD from Satan, the accursed.

"وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا"

"And the Messenger will say, "O LORD, indeed my people have taken this Koran as abandoned."

Bukhari and co. ❌️ - contains contradictions & lies.

Quran ✅️ - no contradictions, is full truth and GOD’S guidance.

Practice of Appreciation and Gratitude

Surah An-Nahl (16:78): "And Allah has brought you out of the wombs of your mothers knowing nothing, and He gave you hearing and sight and hearts that you might give thanks."

​Surah Al-Mu'minun (23:78): "And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful." (This is a rhetorical command/reminder to be grateful).

​Surah Al-Mulk (67:23): "Say, 'It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., minds]; little are you grateful.'"

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:172): "O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship."

Surah An-Nahl (16:114): "So eat of the [lawful and] good food which Allah has provided for you. And be grateful for the favor of Allah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship."

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:152): "So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me."

​Surah Luqman (31:12): "...'Be grateful to Allah.' And whoever is grateful is grateful for [the benefit of] his own soul..."

​Surah Az-Zumar (39:66): "Rather, worship [only] Allah and be among the grateful."

​Surah Saba (34:13): "Work, O family of David, in gratitude." (This commands gratitude through the medium of action).

Isn't fascinating to see how the spiritual instruction to be grateful aligns with what neuroscience is now uncovering. Allah's focus on "being among the grateful" and the scientific findings on neuroplasticity suggest that gratitude is not just a passive feeling, but an active practice that fundamentally changes how an individual perceives and experiences the world. By framing it as a command, encourages a deliberate, conscious discipline. In neuroscience, this is referred to as "intentional focus." When you consciously choose to look for, acknowledge, or "work" in gratitude, you are bypassing the brain's default, often pessimistic, settings. Over time, you aren't just feeling better—you are structurally becoming a more grateful person.

Poor village men seem to manage multiple wives fine but men who make $60,000 a year here in the states say they can’t afford to take care of more than one.

I don’t care about money.
I would like to have 40 kids and 300 grandkids. To help fill the earth with good people who know Allah.
Inshallah. This is my dream.

How Character Shapes Faith

Anas bin Malik رضي الله عنه reports that Rasúlullãh ﷺ said,

“A person’s Iman (faith) is not upright until his heart is upright, and his heart is not upright until his tongue is upright.”

[Musnad Ahmad]

"What did Bukhari say?"

The prophet urinated while standing and in another, he squatted.

Is this respectful?

To the people that trust sources that discuss the toilet habits of a blessed prophet, do they stop to wonder whether they'd like their own toilet habits recorded and distributed?

More importantly, how relevant is this information to one's relgious guidance and salvation?

"So woe to those who write the book with their own hands, then say, "This is from GOD," to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn." (Quran 2:79)

Contradictions & Lies: Bukhari and co. ❌️
GOD'S guidance: Quran ✅️

"In the eyes of the right person, you are enough."
