Oh Allah heal me and my parents

WHEN YOU NEED ALLAH, BUT FORGET HIM

You carry a Muslim name.

You say “I am a Muslim.”

But do you pray?

Do you remember Allah when everything is going well?

Or do you only remember Him when you need something?

When you need help…

When you are sick…

When you are in danger…

When your plans are falling apart…

Suddenly your hands go up:

“Ya Allah, help me.”

But where was Allah in your life when everything was comfortable?

Where was your ṣalāh?

Where was your Qur'an?

Where was your dhikr?

Where was your repentance?

My brother, my sister, Allah was never absent.

You were the one who became distant.

Allah tells us:

«“So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.”
Qur'an 2:152»

Allah has given us guidance.

The Qur'an is available.

The Sunnah is available.

Scholars and teachers remind us.

People advise us.

But sometimes we become angry when someone tells us the truth.

We insult the person.

We say, “Don't judge me.”

We say, “It's my life.”

We say, “Everyone does it.”

But when hardship comes, we run back to Allah.

When death approaches, we will not be able to negotiate with it.

☝️ Allah describes the regret of people when death arrives:

“My Lord, send me back so that I may do righteousness in what I left behind.”

📚📖 Qur'an 23:99–100📚📖

But there will be no returning to this dunya.

So don't wait until your final moments to suddenly become serious about Allah.

Don't wait until the grave.

Don't wait until the Day of Qiyāmah.

Don't wait until you see Jahannam and wish for another chance.

You have the chance now.

Repent now.

Pray now.

Leave the sins you know you need to leave.

Stop following what Allah has prohibited.

Increase your good deeds.

Open the Qur'an.

Learn your religion.

And if you fall, repent and return.

Don't allow Shayṭān to convince you that because you have sinned, you are beyond Allah's mercy.

And don't put your hope in anyone besides Allah.

Your wealth cannot save you.

Your popularity cannot save you.

Your ancestors cannot save you.

Jinn cannot save you.

False gods cannot save you.

Your followers cannot save you.

Nobody can carry your sins for you.

Allah says:

«“And every person will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.”
Qur'an 19:95»

One day, you will stand before Allah.

Not with your friends.

Not with your followers.

Not with your social-media audience.

Alone.

So be smart while you still have time.

You cannot choose when death comes.

You cannot negotiate with the Angel of Death.

You cannot ask for one more year when your appointed time has arrived.

And when this dunya ends, everything we were fighting over—money, status, beauty, fame, arguments, possessions—will be left behind.

Your family will grieve.

Your friends will grieve.

People may make duʿāʾ for you.

But eventually, life will continue for those who remain.

You will be the one facing what you sent ahead.

So don't live as though this world is your permanent home.

You were given a temporary life and an eternal destination.

Choose your destination while you still have the opportunity to choose your actions.

May Allah awaken our hearts before death awakens us.

May He forgive our sins, bring us back to ṣalāh, protect us from Jahannam, make us firm upon His obedience, and grant us a beautiful ending.

Āmīn, yā Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn. 🤲🏽

Wallāhu Aʿlam.

ASALAMUALIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WABARAKATUHU, GOOD DAY EVERYONE.

May Allah gides us and all of you ameen 🧡

I have everything I need in life, except a life partner to share it all with.

In Islam, character (akhlaq) and religion (deen) are emphasized when considering a potential husband or wife because marriage is intended to be a long-term partnership built on faith, trust, kindness, responsibility and good treatment—not simply attraction, wealth or social status.

1. The Prophet ﷺ explicitly emphasized religion and character

The Prophet ﷺ said regarding choosing a husband:

“If there comes to you one whose religion and character you are pleased with, then marry him.”
— Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi 1084

This is a particularly important principle for evaluating a prospective man. A person’s deen and character affect how he is likely to treat his wife, fulfil responsibilities and conduct himself when difficulties arise.

There is also a well-known hadith concerning choosing a wife:

“A woman is married for four things: her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So marry the one who is religious…”
— Sahih al-Bukhari 5090; Sahih Muslim 1466

The point is not that beauty, compatibility or financial circumstances are irrelevant. Rather, religion should not be sacrificed for those other considerations.

2. Religion influences how someone treats their spouse

Someone who sincerely fears Allah understands that marriage involves rights and responsibilities before Allah. This can encourage:

• honesty rather than deception
• kindness rather than cruelty
• patience during disagreements
• fulfilling promises
• respecting the other person’s rights
• avoiding ظلم (injustice)
• maintaining trust and modesty
• seeking reconciliation when problems occur
• treating one’s spouse with dignity

Allah says:

“And live with them in kindness.”
— Qur’an 4:19

3. Character becomes particularly important after the initial attraction

Physical attraction can be important in marriage, but it naturally changes over time. A person’s character becomes part of everyday married life.

You will experience how someone behaves when they are:

• stressed
• disappointed
• angry
• financially pressured
• confronted with disagreement
• dealing with family problems
• required to compromise

Therefore, good character is not merely about someone being pleasant during the early stages of communication. It is about how they consistently conduct themselves.

4. Islam does not require ignoring compatibility

Choosing someone based on religion and character does not mean that everything else should be ignored.

A prospective couple should also reasonably consider:

religion + character + compatibility + attraction + communication + circumstances + expectations about family and living arrangements.

For example, two people might both be practising Muslims but have completely different expectations concerning where they will live, children, finances, employment, family involvement or responsibilities. Those matters should be discussed before marriage.

5. The underlying principle

The Qur’an says:

“Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.”
— Qur’an 49:13

So Islamic marriage is not supposed to be based primarily on wealth, nationality, ethnicity, appearance or social status. Those things can be considered, but taqwa, deen and good character have a special importance.

Therefore in practical terms, when considering a potential husband or wife, a useful question is:

“Is this person someone who sincerely fears Allah and is likely to treat their spouse with kindness, honesty, mercy, respect and fairness?”

That is much closer to the Islamic principle than simply asking whether the person is attractive, wealthy, highly educated or from a particular background.

Iblis said that he would mislead and tempt human beings:

“Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path. Then I will come to them from before them, from behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them grateful.”
— Qur’an 7:16–17

He also said:

“I will surely take an appointed portion of Your servants. And I will surely mislead them, and I will arouse in them false desires…”
— Qur’an 4:118–119

And in Qur’an 15:39–40, Iblis says:

“My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make disobedience attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all, except Your chosen servants among them.”

Iblis did not make a promise to Allah in the sense of making a righteous pledge or covenant. Rather, he declared his intention and challenge to mislead humanity. Allah allowed him a period of respite, but also made clear that Iblis would have no authority over Allah’s sincere servants.

Allah says:

“Indeed, My servants—you have no authority over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.”
— Qur’an 15:42

I am interested to know reverts thoughts on this.

Do you prioritize memorising the Quran, properly pronouncing the Quran, or understanding the meaning of the Quran?
