Hajj and Umrah

Every sincere du’a is on its way to the Kun Faya Kun of ALLAH. Very soon it will arrive. And what He decides is always better than what we imagine.

Always remember that :
Surah Ya-Sin | سورة يس

Your rizq will find its way to you."
وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
"And He will provide for him from where he does not expect."
Qur'an 65:3

I want to go to Mecca someday, O Allah

🌙 ASSALAAMU ALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WABARAKATUH, DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

A gentle reminder about the beauty and blessings of SUNNAH FASTING. ❤️

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged voluntary fasting, particularly on Mondays and Thursdays.

📖 ALLAH SWT SAYS IN THE QUR'AN:

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:183)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

Translation:
"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain Taqwa (God-consciousness)."

🌿 SOME SUNNAH FASTING DAYS INCLUDE:

1. Mondays and Thursdays.
2. The 13th, 14th and 15th of every Islamic month (Ayyamul Bidh).
3. Six days of Shawwal.
4. The Day of Arafah (for those not performing Hajj).
5. The Day of Ashura.

Remember, fasting is not only about staying away from food and drink. It is also about purifying our hearts, controlling our desires, guarding our tongues, practising patience and drawing closer to Allah SWT.

🤲 DU'A:

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنَّا عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

Allahumma a'inna ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibadatik.

"O Allah, help us to remember You, thank You and worship You in the best manner."

May Allah SWT accept our voluntary fasts, forgive our shortcomings, strengthen our Imaan and grant us sincerity in all our acts of worship.

May we never forget that even the smallest act of worship, done sincerely for Allah, carries immense reward.

JAZAKUMULLAHU KHAYRAN. ❤️

ASSALAAMU ALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WABARAKATUH.

Years back,

• You can easily identify a Muslim from a non muslim.

• Largely by📌📌

• -Mode of dressing
• -Manners

• Today, that’s no more!📌📌📌

• Muslim Men❌❌

• -have punks
• -smoke whatever
• -gamble

• Muslim Women❌❌

• -wear whatever
• -twerk
• -expose whatever

Because they’re civilized.

STOP TAKING OFFENCE WHEN PEOPLE UNFOLLOW YOU.

If the things you post, share or like on social media go against someone's values or could negatively affect their Deen, do not automatically feel offended when they decide to unfollow you.

Sometimes, what you post may expose someone to something impermissible, weaken their modesty or even encourage them towards sin, whether you realise it or not.

Remember, having a social media platform does not mean you should post everything that comes to mind.

We need to have Hayā’ (modesty and a sense of shame before Allāh), both online and offline.

If someone decides to unfollow you because they do not want to expose themselves to certain content, respect their decision.

You are not entitled to someone's attention, followership or audience.

📌 And there is something else we must learn:

• -How to advise one another with wisdom, sincerity and good manners.
• -How to accept sincere advice without immediately becoming defensive.
• -How to distinguish genuine advice from personal attacks.
• -How to examine our own actions before criticising others.
• -How to correct ourselves instead of always looking for faults in other people.

Not every correction is an attack. Sometimes, someone is reminding you of something you have overlooked.

And when advice is given correctly, do not allow pride to prevent you from benefiting from it.

Your social media following is not more important than your relationship with Allāh. Your popularity is not worth compromising someone's Deen or your own.

May Allāh grant us Hayā’, sincerity, wisdom and humility. May He correct our affairs, purify our intentions, guide our actions and make us among those who accept the truth even when it goes against their desires.

Āmīn.

Wallāhu a‘lam.

WICKEDNESS HAS NO GENDER. IT IS A MATTER OF CHARACTER.

I noticed that a sister I knew had been posting her pictures back to back on social media.

Honestly, I wondered whether she was trying to get someone's attention or whether something was going on.

It never crossed my mind that she might have been divorced.

So I sent her a simple message:❌ ❌

"sister , you're doing well o 😂❤️. Hope all is well at home?"

That was when she broke the news to me.

SubhanAllah! 😔💔

I honestly did not see that coming.

It got me thinking.

How many people do we see smiling, posting beautiful pictures, dressing well and appearing happy on social media, without having the slightest idea of the battles they are fighting behind closed doors?

We see their pictures, but we do not see their tears.

We see their smiles, but we do not know their struggles.

We see what they choose to share, but we have no idea what they are going through privately.

And then I asked myself another question:

Should I conclude that men are wicked because of what one man may have done to a woman?

Or should I remind myself that one person's actions should never become a reason to condemn an entire gender?

The truth is, wickedness has no gender.

A man can destroy a woman's peace, just as a woman can destroy a man's peace.

Neither men nor women are automatically innocent or guilty. Good character is not exclusive to one gender, and bad character is not exclusive to the other.

Marriage is not a small responsibility.

It requires patience, understanding, sacrifice, emotional maturity, communication, mercy and, above all, the fear of Allah.

Love alone is not enough when respect, trust, kindness and responsibility are missing.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:☝️☝️

"The best of you are those who are best to their wives."

📖 Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1162📖

And we must remember that marriage is an Amanah. A spouse is not someone you should emotionally, physically or psychologically abuse.

Another important matter:📌📌

let us stop mocking divorced people, gossiping about their situations or treating divorce as though it automatically means someone has failed in life.

Sometimes, leaving a harmful marriage is a difficult decision that requires tremendous courage.

Marriage is a blessing, but suffering in silence should never become the price someone is forced to pay just to protect their reputation.

My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, we do not know the full story behind another person's pain.

So instead of judging, make du'a for them.

Instead of spreading their private matters, protect their dignity.

Instead of immediately asking, "What did she do wrong?" or "What did he do wrong?", remember that you may not know the truth of what happened.

Allah says:☝️☝️☝️☝️

"Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice."

📖 Qur'an 4:58📖

May Allah protect our homes, guide our spouses, soften our hearts, teach us to fulfil our marital responsibilities and grant those experiencing marital difficulties the wisdom and strength to make the right decisions.

May Allah heal those who have been hurt, comfort those who are suffering silently, and grant righteous spouses to those seeking marriage.

Ameen, Ya Rabb. 🤲🏽

Because at the end of the day, the goal is not simply to get married.

The goal is to build a home where both people feel safe, respected, valued, appreciated and loved — a home where Allah is remembered and His limits are respected.

LET ME ASK YOU:

Should we condemn an entire gender because of the actions of certain individuals, or should we agree that wickedness is a matter of character, not gender?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Wallahu A'lam.

Jannah is not a word to throw around just to catch cruise on social media.

It is the home we pray Allah grants us after death,

the place our hearts long for, and the reward we hope for in the Hereafter.

Let’s be mindful of how we speak about it.

Not everything deserves to become a joke for likes & engagement.

May Allah forgive our shortcomings, guide our tongues, & make us among the people of Jannah.

Ameen. 🤲🏽

Remember,

we joke about many things in this life,

but may Allah never let us joke our way out of the Hereafter

MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ISLAM,

WAKE UP!

Sometimes, I wonder how much useless knowledge we consume, how much time we waste, and how emotionally invested we become in things that will mean absolutely nothing when we are lying beneath the earth.

WAKE UP, O UMMAH!

You scroll past reminders about Allah. You ignore posts about the Hereafter. You show little interest in advice about protecting your Iman.

But let someone teach you how to trend on TikTok through dancing, or announce the latest drama from real housewives, love/romantic /kiss ,etc more and suddenly, everybody is interested.

Tell me, what exactly are we giving our attention to?

How can a Muslim become so emotionally attached to entertainment in which sins are openly displayed, forbidden things are normalised, and disobedience to Allah becomes a source of amusement?

And for what?

A winner's title? A prize? A few weeks of entertainment?

What have we gained if our hearts become comfortable with what displeases Allah?

We know the names of celebrities. We know their relationships, arguments, scandals, victories and personal affairs.

But how many of us are learning the Qur'an with that same enthusiasm?

How many of us are studying our religion, increasing our knowledge of the Sunnah, and preparing for the day when our wealth, followers, fame and worldly achievements will no longer benefit us?

Wallahi, this Dunya is temporary.

One day, the phone you use to follow every trend will be in somebody else's hands.

The social media account you struggle to grow will remain behind.

The programmes you cannot afford to miss will continue without you.

But your appointment with Allah is coming, and nobody can stand before Him on your behalf.

So ask yourself:📌

📌 What knowledge will benefit me in my grave?

📌 What entertainment will benefit me when I stand before Allah?

📌 How much of my precious time have I invested in things that bring me closer to Him?

📌 If my life ended today, would I be pleased with how I spent it?

My dear brothers and sisters,

I am not saying we should never enjoy permissible things in life.

I am saying that we must never become so consumed by this world that we forget the One who created us.

Allah says:☝️☝️☝️

"And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason?"

📖 Qur'an 6:32📖

Please, let us wake up before the Angel of Death comes to take us away.

Not every trending topic deserves your attention.

Not every programme deserves your support.

Not everything that entertains your eyes is good for your soul.

And not everything that occupies your time is worth your time.

Remember:📌📌 the question is not whether you know what is happening in the world. The question is whether you are preparing for what will happen after you leave it.

May Allah soften our hearts, guide our choices, protect our Iman, forgive our shortcomings and grant us the wisdom to distinguish between what entertains us temporarily and what benefits us eternally.

YA ALLAH, do not allow us to become so attached to this Dunya that we forget to prepare for our meeting with You. Let our final words be La ilaha illa Allah, and grant us a beautiful ending. Ameen.

The greatest tragedy is not leaving this world without knowing everything.

It is leaving this world having spent our precious time learning everything except what would benefit us in the Hereafter.

Wallahu A'lam.
