بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم If Allāh wants something doing, His plans for it are meticulous. You cannot give hidāyah (guidance) to whomsoever you love and wish to; it is only Allāh that grants hidā Allāh knows what the chests conceal and what they expose.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم People thought the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was too ‘normal’ and ‘down to earth’ to be a prophet. They judged comparing him to a king. The inheritors of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم should also be ‘down to earth’ and not cut off from the people, unlike the kings…

بسم الله الرحمين الرحيم Be thankful to Allāh just like Sulaymān عليه السلام The mark of a person working for Allāh is that he/she cannot be tempted away from the work through wealth.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Eat ḥalāl only. Read this du‘ā regularly: رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ ‘My Rabb, I seek refuge in You from the strokes of the Shayāṭīn (devils), and my Rabb! I seek refuge in You even from their coming near me.’ The sinners will plead for…

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Day of Qiyāmah will be one full of horrors. We don’t even realise some of the things around us to be blessings. Every one of Allāh’s creation is subservient to Allāh, except the human. Whoever revers the symbols of Allāh does so out of the Allāh-consciousness within his heart. Shayṭān…

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Day of Reckoning is drawing closer while we are still wandering in neglect. Ask the people who know if you yourself don’t know.
