The Muslim Neighbor

05/22/2026

Assalamu Alaikum/Peace Be Unto You!
My dear sisters and brothers:

*Sometimes the hardest test in practicing Islam isn’t society… it’s the people closest to us.

For many, this is a daily test…
* A revert facing resistance at home
* A Muslim surrounded by family who don’t value the Deen
* Loved ones pulling you away from practicing sincerely
And the pain runs deeper when you worry about their Akhirah. 💭

So how should you respond?

Look at the example of Prophet Ibrahim/ Abraham peace be upon him (عليه السلام). ✨

Despite his father’s harsh rejection, he (عليه السلام) spoke with gentleness:

“O my dear father…”

And when his father refused the truth, he (عليه السلام) simply replied:

“Peace be upon you.”

This is great character. 🌟

He didn't express anger or harshness.

He only practiced patience and dignity.

Allah reminds us in the Quran:

“Respond ˹to evil˺ with what is best, then the one you are in a feud with will be like a close friend.” (41:34)

*Remember…guidance is in Allah’s hands.

Our role is to:

✨ Stay firm on our Deen
✨ Show patience and kindness
✨ Reflect Islam through our character

Because oftentimes, it’s not arguments that guide people… it’s how we carry ourselves..

**May Allah Almighty always forgive, protect, bless and guide us and our Ummah and our loved ones and shower us with His mercy, and make us a means of goodness for them all, Aameen! 🤲🏼

**May Almighty Allah always bless, guide & protect us and our brothers & sisters in Palestine & ALL the oppressed, and grant them food, shelter, health & happiness & protect their Homeland! Aameen! May Allah force an end to the Oppression and Wars and grant HIS Justice & His Jannatul Firdaus without reckoning, Aameen❤️

My dear sisters and brothers:
Here’s a great reminder of some of the most basic rules and rights we must provide to each other as told to us by the last Prophet sent by Allah God Almighty;
Muhammad S.A.W. Peace Be Upon Him!
Let us always love and obey and pray to The Almighty Creator Allah ALONE, and strive to obey all the Original Teachings of His Prophets, especially those of Muhammad peace be upon him which were all preserved by The Almighty!
May Allah always forgive, protect, bless and guide us, our families and our Ummah and guide all mankind to His straight and correct Path/Islam, Aameen! ❤️

My dear sisters and brothers:

Do you want to stay away from sin… but keep slipping again and again? 💭

You’re not alone.

Falling short is part of being human.

But the real danger is this: sinning… then not growing from it. 💔

So how do we actually protect ourselves?

Not just by “trying harder”... but by knowing Allah better. ✨

The more we understand His power, mercy, and constant watch over us … the harder it becomes to disobey Him.

Because sin doesn’t just come from weak will, it also comes from a weak connection with Allah.

Therefore, we must strengthen that connection:

📖 Recite & Reflect on the Quran and its meaning
🎧 Learn about Allah’s names and attributes
🤲🏼 Remember Him often throughout the day!

When our heart truly knows and is connected to Allah, walking away from sin becomes easier.

*And repenting/returning to Him becomes natural. ♥️

**May Allah God Almighty always forgive, protect, bless and guide us and our families and our Ummah and help us to always work to strengthen our connection to Him Allah God Almighty through our prayers/salah, Quran recitation/reading/implementing, duas, dhikr, contemplation and doing deeds that are pleasing to Him! Aameen ❤️

**May Almighty Allah always bless, guide & protect us and our brothers & sisters in Palestine & ALL the oppressed, and grant them food, shelter, health & happiness & protect their Homeland! Aameen! May Allah force an end to the Oppression and Wars and grant HIS Justice & His Jannatul Firdaus without reckoning, Aameen❤️

My dear sisters and brothers:

*What if Allah’s anger outweighed His mercy? 💭

**The Prophet ﷺ said:

"When Allah completed the creation, He wrote in His Book which is with Him on His Throne, ‘My Mercy overpowers My Anger.’"

(Sahih al-Bukhari 3194)

Subhan Allah. 🤍

If this wasn’t true, where would we be?

We all sin.

We all fall short.

Yet Allah allows one sincere Tawbah to erase a lifetime of mistakes!!!. ✨

Think about it… Can WE forgive others that easily??

**But Allah not only forgives… He replaces sins with reward and draws us closer! Alhamdo Lillah!

My dear brothers and sisters, this mercy isn’t meant to be taken lightly.

It’s an invitation.
Return to Him.
Turn back… again and again.

Because a Lord this Merciful deserves more than words of gratitude…

***He Allah SubhanawatuAllah
deserves our total obedience. ♥️

My dear sisters and brothers:

Allah Almighty swears by many things in the blessed Quran. The sun. The night. Time itself..

**And in Surah Al-Fajr, Allah swears by ten nights.

"By the dawn. And by the ten nights." (Quran 89:1-2)

Many scholars of Tafseer agree that these are the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. The days are so significant that Allah chose to swear by them in His book.

The blessed Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him ﷺ confirmed their status: "There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days." The companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Not even Struggle/Jihad in the cause of Allah?" He ﷺ replied: "Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back." (Sunan Ibn Majah 1727)

*Ten days. The greatest days of the entire year for good deeds! Greater in reward than every other day including days spent in the most demanding sacrifice a person can make.

*And they have just begun.

Brothers and sisters, many of us let these days pass the way we let most days pass — carried along by routine, vaguely aware that something significant is happening but never stopping to benefit from it.

*This year, make a decision TODAY…Not a complicated plan. Just an intention.

*What will we do differently in these ten days? What will we give more of — our time, our Dhikr, our prayers, charity, our presence with Allah?

*Let us decide now because these precious days will not come back! We may not get this blessed opportunity again…Let us them count In shaa Allah!!!

**May Allah Almighty always forgive, protect, bless, guide and accept all our sacrifices, our good efforts and good deeds from us, our families and our Ummah and grant us His forgiveness His mercy and His best rewards!!!! Aameen!!! 🤲🏼 ❤️

**May Almighty Allah always bless, guide & protect us and our brothers & sisters in Palestine & ALL the oppressed, and grant them food, shelter, health & happiness & protect their Homeland! Aameen! May Allah force an end to the Oppression and Wars and grant HIS Justice & His Jannatul Firdaus without reckoning, Aameen❤️

Assalamu Alaikum/Peace Be Unto You!
My dear sisters and brothers:

How often do you feel inspired to do some good… but delay acting on it? 💭

We tell ourselves: “I’ll do it later.”

But later often never comes..

The companions were different.

When Abu Talha (رضي الله عنه) heard:

“By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love.” (Quran 3:92)

He didn’t wait.

He immediately gave his most beloved garden for Allah’s sake. 🌱

No hesitation. No delay.

That’s what made the companions so beloved in Allah’s eyes.

They didn’t just recite: “We listen and obey.”They proved it with their actions.

Friends we may not give everything… but we can sacrifice some of our dear possessions and our time for Allah.

Even a small, consistent charity especially in these next 10 blessed days of Dhul Hijjah:

✨ Purifies our heart
✨ Protects us from harm
✨ Brings us lasting rewards!
In shaa Allah ❤️

**May Allah Almighty always forgive, bless, protect and guide us and our families and our Ummah to give generously as often as we can especially in these 10 days of Dhul Hijjah to help the poor and desperately needy sisters, children and brothers in the Ummah; May Allah accept all our prayers, Duas, our sacrifice/Qurbani and all our good deeds and efforts to obey Him and please Him! Aameen! 🤲🏼 ❤️

**May Almighty Allah always bless, guide & protect us and our brothers & sisters in Palestine & ALL the oppressed, and grant them food, shelter, health & happiness & protect their Homeland! Aameen! May Allah force an end to the Oppression and Wars and grant HIS Justice & His Jannatul Firdaus without reckoning, Aameen❤️

My dear sisters and brothers:

Al ANBAA:

Eid Al Adha will be on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, 1447 A.H., which may be Wednesday, May 27, 2026, according to the calendar.
This is to be confirmed by the
sighting of the new moon to start the month of Dhul Hijjah.
Please join us to look for the new moon today/tonight In shaa Allah!!!

Have a great Eid Al Adha!!!

To commemorate The Great Sacrifice, of Eid Al Adha, Muslims all over the world are called upon to emulate the complete submission to the Will of Allah, as was demonstrated by the Prophet Abraham/Ibraheem, Alayhis Salaam, and his first begotten son, Ismaeel, Alayhis Salaam.

*Our service of sacrifice is for Allah. As a result, we sacrifice the healthiest and the best of the herd.
Give the needy their due. Remember that one third of the Sacrifice meat is suggested for the needy. It is okay to give more if we so wish.
Sadaqah is also always a great act of Ibaadah.

"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Allah, does good and follows the ways of Ibraheem, the true in faith? For Allah did take Ibraheem for a friend".
Al Quran 4:125

"Behold, verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear nor shall they grieve".
Al Quran 10: 62

Ibraheem, Alayhis Salaam, was a true believer. He symbolized piety - a great model and example for all times. We should read up about him in Al Qur'an and the Ahadith. There are many lessons in the life-stories of him and his family.
It is wise to educate the children on matters of our Deen. The lives and experiences of the Prophet Ibraheem, Alayhis Salaam, and his family are truly inspiring and instructive for us today.

If we use the Islamic calendar as our fiscal year, then all Zakaah obligations should be fully satisfied by the end of Dhul Hijjah - the end of this year 1447 A.H.

It is recommended to fast on the first nine days of Dhul Hijjah.
If not, we should at least, fast on the ninth day. The the Day of Arafat..

Our brothers and sisters will be at Arafat seeking the Mercy of Allah. They will be there making Dua, praying standing, sitting and prostrating on behalf of themselves, their families, relatives and us in the Ummah. We fast the day in solidarity with them. It is the Sunnah to fast on this day.

The days of both Eids are our most festive times. We eat, drink and we remember Allah God Almighty Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. We should celebrate and give gifts to the children and the elderly and each other In shaa Allah.

Despite the great turmoil and oppression and the noises of the world, we must be patient; persevere in prayers; and solidify our faith. Our Lord loves when we are patient and have faith in Him, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Let us love each other for the sake of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and pray for each other and pray for the Ummah In shaa Allah! ❤️

*May Allah Almighty always forgive, protect, bless and guide us and our families to take advantage of these first 10 blessed and precious days of Dhul Hijjah..the best 10 days of the year for doing extra worship to our Lord Almighty and doing acts of kindness and of course our sacrifices on the 10th, the day of Eid ul Adha and the following 2 days In shaa Allah. May Allah accept all our worship, service and sacrifice, Aameen!
🤲🏼 🤲🏼 🤲🏼 ❤️

**May Almighty Allah always bless, guide & protect us and our brothers & sisters in Palestine & ALL the oppressed, and grant them food, shelter, health & happiness & protect their Homeland! Aameen! May Allah force an end to the Oppression and Wars and grant HIS Justice & His Jannatul Firdaus without reckoning, Aameen❤️

My dear sisters and brothers:

Inspiring words:

🌿 Sawdah bint Zam’ah (R.A.) — A Life of Sacrifice and Simplicity 🤍🕊️

Sawdah bint Zam’ah (R.A.) was one of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him (SAW)…

A woman of patience.
A woman of strength.
A woman of sacrifice.

She accepted Islam in its early days — when being Muslim meant facing hardship.

She migrated to Abyssinia with her husband, leaving behind her home for the sake of Allah.

📖 Al-Tabaqat al-Kubra — Ibn Sa’d

💔 A life of struggle.

Her husband later passed away… leaving her alone.

At a time when Muslims were weak and vulnerable.

Then came a moment of mercy.

After the death of Khadijah (R.A.), the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) married Sawdah (R.A.).

She became among the first Mothers of the Believers.

A home once filled with grief… now filled with honor.

🤍 A simple life.

Sawdah (R.A.) was known for her simplicity, humor, and kind heart.

She was not attached to the dunya/world.

She lived a humble life… content with little.

🌿 A Unique Sacrifice:

As she grew older, Sawdah (R.A.) feared that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) might divorce her.

Not because of dislike…

But because she was older.

So she made a remarkable decision.

She gave her turn (night) to Aisha (R.A.) — willingly.

Just so she could remain the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in this life and the next.

📖 Sahih al-Bukhari (5212)
📖 Sahih Muslim (1463)

💛 A sacrifice out of love.

Not for dunya.

But for the akhirah/hereafter.

She chose closeness to the Prophet (SAW)… over her own rights.

SubhanAllah!

🌿 Her Character:

She was known for her generosity and charity.

She gave freely for the sake of Allah.

She lived simply… and died simply.

But her life was filled with sincerity.

📖 Al-Isabah — Ibn Hajar

---

🌿 Think about it:

How many people give up their rights…
For the sake of something greater?

This was her قلب.

This was her Iman..

---

🌿 Lessons for Us:

💛 True love is sacrifice
💛 Detach from dunya, attach to akhirah
💛 Simplicity is قوة, not weakness
💛 Sincerity raises our rank with Allah Almighty!!!

My dear sisters and brothers:

**Victory only comes with the Will of Allah!!!
Quran: 48:27
Truly did Allah fulfil the vision for His Messenger: ye shall enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah wills, with minds secure, heads shaved, hair cut short, and without fear. For He knew what ye knew not, and He granted, besides this, a speedy victory.

48:28
It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion: and enough is Allah for a Witness.

48:29
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah (God Almighty) and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Torah / Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.

48:14
To Allah God Almighty belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills: but Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

**May Allah Almighty always forgive, protect, bless and guide us and our families and our Ummah and protect all those who face oppression and aggression from the bullies & oppressors of the world and grant Justice to all the oppressed! Aameen! 🤲🏼

**May Almighty Allah always bless, guide & protect us and our brothers & sisters in Palestine & ALL the oppressed, and grant them food, shelter, health & happiness & protect their Homeland! Aameen! May Allah force an end to the Oppression and Wars and grant HIS Justice & His Jannatul Firdaus without reckoning, Aameen❤️

My dear sisters and brothers:

**Allah SWT is the Creator God Almighty! The Eternal, The Absolute! The Most Merciful! The Almighty Creator Allah tells us in His Final Revelation The Preserved Quran, revealed to His Final Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, which confirms the the Original Old Testament, the Original Psalms of David and the Original New Testament:

Quran:
3:8
8. “Our Lord, do not cause our hearts to swerve after You have guided us, and bestow on us mercy from Your presence; You are the Giver.”

Quran:
14:19-31
19. Do you not see that Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wills, He can do away with you, and bring a new creation.
20. And that is not difficult for Allah.
21. They will emerge before Allah altogether. The weak will say to those who were proud, “We were your followers, can you protect us at all against God’s punishment?” They will say, “Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you. It is the same for us; whether we mourn, or are patient; there is no asylum for us.”
22. And Satan will say, when the issue is settled, “Allah has promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you, and you answered me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your aid, nor can you come to my aid. I reject your associating with me in the past. The wrongdoers will have a torment most painful.”
23. But those who believed and did good deeds will be admitted into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to remain therein forever, by leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: “Peace.”
24. Do you not see how Allah presents a parable? A good word is like a good tree—its root is firm, and its branches are in the sky.
25. It yields its fruits every season by the will of its Lord. Allah presents the parables to the people, so that they may reflect.
26. And the parable of a bad word is that of a bad tree—it is uprooted from the ground; it has no stability.
27. Allah gives firmness to those who believe, with the firm word, in this life, and in the Hereafter. And Allah leads the wicked astray. Allah does whatever He wills.
28. Have you not seen those who exchanged the blessing of Allah with blasphemy, and landed their people into the house of perdition?
29. Hell—they will roast in it. What a miserable settlement.
30. And they set up rivals to Allah, in order to lead away from His path. Say, “Enjoy yourselves; your destination is the Fire.”
31. Tell My servants who have believed to perform the prayers, and to give from what We have given them, (help the poor and needy) secretly and publicly, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading nor friendship.

**May Allah Almighty always forgive, protect, bless and guide us and our families, the poor, needy and the oppressed and guide our Ummah to the best understanding and implementation of His Quran, Aameen! ❤️

**May Almighty Allah always bless, guide & protect us and our brothers & sisters in Palestine & ALL the oppressed, and grant them food, shelter, health & happiness & protect their Homeland! Aameen! May Allah force an end to the Oppression and unjust Wars and grant HIS Justice & His Jannatul Firdaus without reckoning, Aameen❤️

**Do you want to stay away from sin… but keep slipping again and again? 💭

You’re not alone..it happens to the best of us!

Falling short is part of being human.

But the real danger is this: sinning… then not growing and learning from it. 💔

So how do we actually protect ourselves?

Not just by “trying harder”... but by knowing Allah Almighty better. ✨

The more we understand His power, mercy, and constant watch over us … the harder it becomes to disobey Him.

Therefore, let us all strengthen that connection:

Friends, when our heart truly knows Allah, walking away from sin becomes much easier!

And returning to Him becomes natural. ♥️

**May Allah Almighty always forgive, protect, bless and guide us and our families and our Ummah and protect us from shaitan/satan, and keep us away from all forms of sins against our own souls and sins/actions that hurt others..
and guide us all to regret, repent and to return to Him when we sin..Aameen 🤲🏼
