Hajj and Umrah

If someone's helping you get married and they ask you to post your photographs on social media so men can see you or so that the potential men can see who you are when they search you up, remove them from your rishta hunting process.

No Muslimah should be asked to post her photographs online even in hijaab when she doesn't want to.

You will filter out a lot of creeps when you don't do this.

A solid Muslim brother will respect you for having no photographs online instead of hunting you on socials and selecting you on the basis of photographs you have posted.

Either I am getting old and cranky or this duniya is becoming really ajeeb.

I am really old school. Want to see a sister for marriage visit her home with your family.

Because once you share a photograph on whatsapp or via an email you don't know how many people are going to see it and where it's going to end up.

Or have some trustworthy middle person who has your photograph and can show it to the guy and his family without forwarding it to them.

Many Muslim families don't care about you and forward your photograph to anyone and everyone.

Even Muslim men do this.

They forward it to their friends.

It's a scary world.

Posting pics online for the world to see so you can bag a proposal?! HAYYLLLL NOOOO.

Never compromise deen, modesty and your standards to get married.

THE BEAUTY OF SURAH AS-SAFFAT

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Surah As-Saffat is a beautiful reminder that Allah ﷻ is the only One worthy of worship. It strengthens our faith by showing the certainty of the Resurrection, the reward of the righteous, and the consequences for those who reject the truth.

One of the most moving lessons is the story of Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام) and his son Isma'il (عليه السلام). Their complete submission to Allah teaches us what true tawakkul (trust in Allah) and obedience look like. When Allah tests us, He also provides relief and rewards sincere patience.

The surah also reminds us of the stories of Prophets Nuh, Musa, Harun, Ilyas, Lut, and Yunus (عليهم السلام). Despite facing rejection, hardship, and trials, they remained steadfast in calling people to Allah. Their stories teach us never to lose hope in Allah's mercy and never to give up on doing what is right.

A powerful message repeated throughout the surah is:

«"Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good."»

This repetition reassures every believer that no act of sincerity, patience, or worship is ever lost with Allah. Every hardship endured for His sake has a reward.

Lessons We Can Take

• -Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) is the foundation of our faith.
• -Obedience to Allah always comes before our personal desires.
• -Every trial is an opportunity to draw closer to Allah.
• -Patience and steadfastness lead to Allah's help and honor.
• -The stories of the Prophets are timeless guidance for every believer.
• -Jannah is a true promise for those who believe and do righteous deeds.
• -We should place our trust in Allah's wisdom, even when we do not understand His decree.

May Allah ﷻ make us among those who listen to His words, act upon them sincerely, remain steadfast upon the truth, and are gathered with the righteous in Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen. 🤲

Good morning my frinds❤❤❤

If your faith were made visible as light today, how brightly would it shine? And what could you do, quietly and sincerely, to make it glow stronger?

Tonight, when the darkness settles, remember that the exact same God who splits the night open to bring the morning sun is ready to split open whatever darkness you are facing in your life. We don't need to fear the knots; we just need to trust the One who unties them

May Allah, The Lord of Dawn, split open any darkness we are facing in our lives and fill it with his light, guidance, and peace.May we all be under his divine protection.

Allahumma Amiiin 🤲🏽🤲🏽🤍

Have you ever had a dream in which Allah showed you a warning, a sign, good news, or an upcoming event?

Ya Raab - please give us your blessings to never miss fajr & isha prayers. 💞 🌹 💞

I am indeed not good, but I am trying to be good. 😊

Allah is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO incredible 💗✨🫠

The Journey Home
They say the pilgrimage ends when you leave Makkah.
But perhaps...
that is where the real journey begins.
The real journey is waking up for Fajr when no one is beside you.
It is lowering your gaze when no one would have known.
It is choosing forgiveness over pride.
It is remembering Allah in the ordinary moments, just as you remembered Him in the sacred ones.
Anyone can miss Makkah.
But the pilgrim's greatest prayer is this:
"Ya Allah, don't let me leave Makkah behind when I return home."
Perhaps an accepted Hajj or Umrah is not measured by how many days you spent in the sacred land...
but by how many days the sacred land continues to live in your heart.
Because the journey to Makkah has an ending.
But the journey to Allah never does.
