🙏 faisons recours à nos actions passées repentons nous, imaginons la première nuit dans la tombe,le premier jour dans la tombe, c'est inévitable, un jour sera notre tour, c'est une réalité indéniable, la vie d'ici bas n'est qu'une jouissance éphémère, n'oublions pas la dernière demeure, personne ne sait jamais à quand son tour, aujourd'hui, demain, lendemain... Personne ne le sait.

⏰ Un petit rappel ( la vie dans la tombe)

The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become once you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for and worth fighting for!

Beautiful Saying...

Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"Truly in the heart there is a sadness that cannot be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that cannot be filled except with the love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness.

And verily, for everything that a slaves loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him."

★The Wisdom of Not Hastily Judging the Fate of the Deceased★

Dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

Today, we reflect upon a profoundly meaningful hadith reported by Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him. This hadith teaches us a precious lesson about how to consider the fate of the deceased and not hastily judge their ultimate destination, whether it be Paradise or Hell.

Anas ibn Malik narrates that when a companion passed away, a man stepped forward and exclaimed, "Rejoice in the Paradise that awaits you!" This statement was filled with certainty regarding the divine reward reserved for the deceased. However, the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, responded with profound wisdom, saying, "How do you know? Perhaps he said something insignificant or showed miserliness towards something that would not cause him any loss?"

This response from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reminds us of an important lesson in modesty and humility. It urges us to refrain from making definitive judgments about the fate of souls after their departure from this world. Only Allah, the Almighty, is the Sovereign who holds the power to decide the eternal fate of His servants.

This hadith also reminds us of the importance of caution in our words and actions. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) highlighted the possibility that the deceased may have uttered inconsequential words or displayed miserliness towards something that would have had no bearing on their future reward. This reminds us that even small actions and seemingly insignificant words can be taken into account by Allah, and thus we must be mindful of our actions and words at all times.

This hadith also warns us against spiritual arrogance and considering ourselves as judges of someone's final destiny. Only Allah knows the depths of each individual's heart, as well as their true intentions and actions. We cannot claim to know what transpires between a person and their Lord, and therefore we must avoid making categorical statements about the ultimate fate of a person after their death.

However, this does not mean that we should not be aware of the good deeds performed by our believing brothers and sisters. On the contrary, we should encourage and appreciate the good actions we witness around us. But we must do so with humility and bear in mind that the final decision rests solely with Allah.

This hadith also reminds us of the importance of hope in the mercy of Allah. Even though we cannot claim to know the final destiny of a person, we can certainly be filled with hope and confidence in Allah's infinite mercy towards His servants. If we see individuals performing good deeds and following the path of righteousness, we can be optimistic about their reward in the hereafter. This strengthens our faith and encourages us to persevere in our own efforts to please Allah.

In conclusion, this hadith reminds us to be cautious in our judgments concerning the fate of the deceased. We should not hastily declare someone as destined for Paradise or Hell. Only Allah knows the truth, and He is the ultimate Judge. We must also be aware of our own actions and words, as even the smallest things can hold significance in the eyes of Allah. Lastly, we must maintain hope in Allah's mercy and be optimistic about the reward reserved for those who follow the path of righteousness.

May Allah guide us on the straight path, grant us His forgiveness and mercy, and allow us to attain Paradise. Ameen.

And Allah knows best.

Some persons from the Ansar asked for (something) from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he gave them. They again asked him for (something), and he gave them. Then he said: 'whatever of good that I have, I would never hoard it from any of you. (Remember) whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him content, and whoever tries to make due, Allah will suffice him. And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and more encompassing than patience."

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) spoke about sins and their consequences in various hadiths (sayings). Here are a few teachings related to sins:

1. The Prophet emphasized that all humans are prone to sinning but encouraged repentance and seeking forgiveness from Allah. He said, "By Allah, I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him more than seventy times a day" (Sahih al-Bukhari).

2. The Prophet advised against persistently committing sins and warned of their cumulative effect. He said, "Beware of minor sins, for they gather upon a man until they destroy him" (Sunan Ibn Majah).

3. The Prophet highlighted the importance of avoiding major sins and their severe consequences. He stated, "The five daily prayers, Friday prayer to the next Friday prayer, and the fast of Ramadan to the next Ramadan expiate the sins committed between them as long as major sins are avoided" (Sahih Muslim).

4. The Prophet also emphasized the significance of striving to improve one's character and actions. He said, "I have been sent to perfect good character" (Musnad Ahmad).

It's important to note that the Prophet Muhammad's teachings on sins encompassed various aspects, including repentance, seeking forgiveness, avoiding major sins, and developing good character. These teachings serve as guidance for Muslims to lead a righteous life and seek spiritual growth.

*BEING SERIOUS ABOUT THE RELIGION*
➖➖➖
*Between Fear And Hope*
➖➖➖

Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه used to say _"I wish I was like this bird, from tree to tree, then I die and there is nothing for me and nothing against me"_
He was scared!

The saying goes

*المؤمن بين الخوف و الرجاء*

_The believer is between fear and hope._
But we have forgotten fear, and have become drunk with hope.
This has led to the leniency and lax attitude with the rulings of Allah ﷻ.
_
But look at the best examples of this Ummah after Muhammad ﷺ and let us remind ourselves of what fearing Allah ﷻ means!
_
For we, people who aren't guaranteed Jannah, feel safe in our houses and in our cars to sin or to be people in heedlessness...
While Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه was promised Jannah, yet he was worried for himself to the extent, he would wish to be a bird.
_
Umar رضي الله عنه, the one who Allah ﷻ agreed with via revelation on many occasions,
The one who the Shaytaan fled from and took another street.
The one who was Al Farooq,
He used to grab his beard and say _"Woe to you oh Ibn Al Khattab! If you met Allah."_
He had two lines on his face from his intense crying!
_
So how are we feeling safe,
How are we void of the fear of Allah ﷻ!
_
When Allah ﷻ commands us to have Taqwa, and praises those who do!
But we are averse to it, thinking it is restrictive!

*وَ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَ اعلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ مَعَ المُتَّقِين*

_And have Taqwa of Allah and know that Allah is with those who have Taqwa._
[2:194]
_
We are so lax, we resemble those who will be thrown in the fire

*الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُم لَهوًا وَ لَعِبًا*

_Those who took their religion as play and amusement!_
[7:51]
_
Those are the ones who disobeyed Allah ﷻ, didn't fear him or his command!
_
May Allah ﷻ protect us and keep us steadfast upon His deen.
*آمِيْن*

📌 Virtues of Remembering Allah

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَؓ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالي: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَنِي فَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلأٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فيِ مَلأٍ خَيْرٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعاً وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعاً تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعاً وَإِنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً.

رواه البخاري باب قول الله تعالي ويحذركم الله نفسه:٦/٢٦٩٤, طبع دار ابن كثير بيروت

Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi narrated that Allah Ta'ala says: I treat My slave according to his expectations from Me. I am with him when he remembers Me; and if he remembers Me in his heart, I remember him in My heart; and if he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a better and nobler gathering (of angels). If he comes closer to Me by one span, I go closer to him an arm's length; if he comes towards Me an arm's length, I go towards him two-arm's length; and if he comes to Me walking, I run to him.

(Bukhari)

Note: When a person strives to get closer to Allah through good deeds, then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala turns towards His slave with much more attention, mercy and help.

📌Virtues of Remembering Allah

٧٢- عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِؓ رَفَعَهُ إِلَي النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: مَا عَمِلَ آدَمِيٌّ عَمَلاً أَنْجَي لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ تَعَالي قِيلَ: وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فيِ سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فيِ سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَّضْرِبَ بِسَيْفِهِ حَتَّي يَنْقَطِعَ.

رواه الطبراني في الصغير والاوسط ورجالهما رجال الصحيح مجمع الزوائد:١٠/٧١

Jabir ibn Abdullah Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: No deed of a man is more calculated to save him from Allah's Punishment than the remembrance of Allah. It was asked: Not even fighting in the path of Allah? He replied: Not even fighting in the path of Allah, except the one who fights bravely with his sword till it breaks.
