يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَاَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُوْنَ ۚۖ
O believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn away from him while you hear ˹his call˺.
—Surah Anfal [8:20]
Narrated `Abdullah, I asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ;
"Which deed is the dearest to Allāh ﷻ?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents" I again asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, 'To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's ﷻ cause." `Abdullah added, "I asked only that much and if I had asked more, the Prophet ﷺ would have told me more."
—Sahih al-Bukhari 527
The Prophet ﷺ said : "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the afternoons, and during the last hours of the nights."
—Sahih al-Bukhari 39
• Make religion easy for you
• Practice Mindfulness and Gratitude
• Make morning/evening azkars your best friend.
• Don't become an extremist
"He who indulges in excess will not benefit from it."
—Prophet Idris عليه السلام
وَلَوْلَاۤ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ قُلْتُمْ مَّا يَكُوْنُ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهٰذَا ۖ سُبْحٰنَكَ هٰذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيْمٌ
"If only you had said upon hearing it, “How can we speak about such a thing! Glory be to You ˹O Lord˺! This is a heinous slander!"
[24:16]
This goes to any negative thing we hear or say about people! Negativity doesn't have to come in categories. To put it simply, it is a plague which erases your good deeds instantly. So why plunge into gossiping and backbiting when it's gonna hurt you both in dunya and aakhirah. How can you face Allāh ﷻ? Why even bother discussing people? As said, "Great minds discuss ideas" , so instead of stockpiling sins, we should aspire to discuss Allāh ﷻ, His gifted Deen, Jannah and Hereafter, Dreams, Goals, informative knowledge, food for thoughts, new ideas, about your day, your reflections etc. If this job seems arduous, then embrace silence. A golden key to unlock every door of possible rewards.
Indeed in the remembrance of Allāh ﷻ, the peace of every creature relies. I have noticed that whenever I keep my heart and mouth moist in the remembrance of my Lord— my anguish, worries and anxiety rolls over as if it never existed in the first place. Not that the problem has forever wiped its existence, and not that it is impossible for my Rabb to make it happen, but the way I approach it now changes the entire plot.
أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللّٰهَ
أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللّٰهَ
أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللّٰهَ
Keep repeating this dhikr like a chant. Ask for forgiveness whenever you can. Acknowledge that all human beings are born to err, and our Lord ﷻ loves to forgive us. Indeed, he is Al Gafoor.
This world isn't permanent. These worries aren't permanent. These moments of happiness aren't permanent. These sorrows aren't permanent. These achievements aren't permanent. These sicknesses aren't permanent. These failures aren't permanent. Your life isn't permanent. My life isn't permanent.
You know what is permanent? The unlimited mercy of Allāh ﷻ. The Throne of Allāh ﷻ. The Forgiving attribute of Allāh ﷻ. The immeasurable love of Allāh ﷻ. That out of all the creation of this universe, we are his favorites. That we are created in our best mould by the One and Only Fashioner. Al Mussawir.
So, close that distance between your face and the ground and completely submit yourself into His ﷻ will and decree. Your life is going to change for the best. And In Sha Allah, your Hereafter will thank you for this change.
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and the hope of reward will be forgiven his previous sins.”
—Sunan Ibn Majah 1641
Now who doesn't want their sins to be forgiven? To be one of the residents of Jannah. To reside under the shadows of trees, to enjoy the flowing rivers. For us to attain the biggest success of this world and the Hereafter which is undoubtedly Jannah, it is essential to work for it. This longanimity of fasts, insatiable thirst, will all be rewarded in the best way possible. May Allāh ﷻ allow us to be the one entering "Rayyan" —one of the eight gates of Heaven for the people who observed fasts only for the sake of Allāh ﷻ.
It was narrated that 'Aishah (R.A) said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَ عُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ
"O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done yet."
—Sunan an-Nasa'i 5526
One of the greatest virtues of praying Taraweeh in the mosque, behind the Imam.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
"Whoever prays Qiyam with the Imam until he finishes, Allah (SWT) will record for him the Qiyam of a (whole) night."
—Sunan an-Nasa'i 1605
SubhanAllah! Indeed, Allāh ﷻ is THE MERCIFUL.
Hazrat Ali (رضي الله عنه) reported:
A slave who had made a contract with his master to pay for his freedom, came to me and said: "I am unable to fulfill my obligation, so help me." He said to him: "Shall I not teach you a supplication which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me? It will surely prove so effective that if you have a debt as large as a huge mountain, Allah will surely pay it for you. Say:
اللّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَأغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّن سِوَاكَ
"(O Allah! Grant me enough of what You make lawful so that I may dispense with what You make unlawful, and enable me by Your Grace to dispense with all but You)."
—Riyad as-Salihin 1486
Anytime you see a goodness in me, it's all because of the MERCY of Allāh ﷻ that He ﷻ has chosen me to be committing these acts. Whether it's patience, kindness, steadfastness, intelligence, good character, justice— the list goes on. It's always Allah's mercy. It's the only truth. Any achievement you see of mine is already decreed by Allāh ﷻ. Nothing is in my hand and nothing will be. Even the choice of my Sajdah is already been decided by my Lord ﷻ up there. Subsequently, it opens a new door of gratitude since nothing could ever be possible without Him ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ the Lord of the WORLDS. Not just the life which is born on earth, the lives of the millions of worlds which are incomprehensible to our limited mind. Yet, Allah ﷻ is the most Merciful towards me! It's very good to be reminded of your position and humble yourself before "Al-Malik".
If a heart becomes attached to anything other than Allah, Allah makes him dependent on what he is attached to. And he will be betrayed by it.❞
— Ibn Al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh)
Ya Allāh ﷻ, please make me dependant on YOU only. You're my Rabb, my Lord, my Peace. Don't make me walk on any road that takes me farther away from you, leaving me all astray. Make me independent of everything. You, your love, your nearness, your promises suffice me.
We all as Muslims try our best to pray the five obligatory Salahs! Now as important that is, we must strive to attain a deeper connection with Allāh ﷻ in our prayers by knowing the meaning of our utterances. So here is the translation of the DUA which we begin our prayer with.
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ
“Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You.”
Let's be mindful of our duas, recitation in our prayers. In Sha Allah, Allāh ﷻ will be pleased with our efforts.
اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِيْ مُكِبًّا عَلٰي وَجْهِهٖۤ اَهْدٰۤي اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
"Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?"
—Al-Mulk 67:22
Narrated `Aisha رضي الله عنها:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan."
—Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 32, Hadith 4

Teringatlah sebuah kisah yang dulu saya pernah menjadi seorang santri di salah satu Sekolah Islam. Dimana, masa remaja saya dibentuk pada saat menjadi santri itu. Menjadi santri yang selalu dituntun oleh Ustadz yang selalu kami hormati. Namun, sampai saat ini saya tidak pernah mengetahui kenapa Ustadz tersebut memilih pergi dari pondok kami.
Ada sebuah nasehat yang selalu saya ingat ditulis oleh beliau pada buku diary saya. Diary yang isinya penuh dengan luapan perasaan saya kepada seorang ikhwan. Ternyata, beliau sangat kecewa membaca isi diary saya. Ditulislah oleh beliau salah satu nasehat yang membuat saya tersadar bahwa diri saya sangat berharga daripada perasaan kepada manusia yang tak disukai Allah. Beliau menulis:
"Wahai anandaku, engkau adalah perhiasan dunia yang setiap lelaki menyukai dan ingin mendapatkannya"
Ditulislah sebuah hadits oleh beliau:
"Addunya mata'un, wa khairi mata'iha, al mar'atus salihah."
Artinya: “Dunia adalah perhiasan, dan sebaik-baik perhiasan dunia adalah isteri yang shalihah.”
Lalu dilanjutkan oleh beliau:
"Jadilah seorang wanita yang solehah, sesuai dengan nama mu "Zahra" yang berarti bunga, Jadilah setangkai bunga yang cantik tetapi tidak mudah dirusak dan ketika disentuh lelaki, akan menancapkan duri yang dimiliki bunga tersebut, dalam bahasa arab: وردة السواقة (Wardah Assawaqah)"
Lalu, diakhir kata ditulis lagi oleh beliau:
"Nasehat ini ditulis oleh seorang Ustadz yang selalu tak didengar"
Kemudian, saya membaca isi tulisan tersebut dengan teman sekamar saya. Kami terharu. Sampai sekarang saya selalu ingat akan hadits tersebut.
Abdul will give you nothing. You are a fag. You have spent your whole life trying to find your identity, to feel useful and worth it. But what separates being a useful man to a useless man is whether you like big hairy, horny Arab men with gigantic brown cocks...
The white cock is shrinking. Brown dick is growing at record speeds. serve Arab cock with your white mouth, show them how much it means to be infidel. let them fuck your brains out, make you dumb and horny all the time...
