💬 I came across this quote:

❝Sometimes, the most sincere prayers are found in the hospitals.❞

Sadly, this has become the state of a lot of Muslims. Only when their loved ones are sick that they start supplicating sincerely and earnestly. Then they start bargaining with Allaah. “O Allaah! Save my child, and I will do such-and-such.” “O Allaah! Save my father, and I will feed the poor.”

Like the Kuffaar, who, when they were at sea, and the waves became strong and they feared drowning, they would sincerely supplicate to Allaah to save them. Otherwise, they did not bother.

This reminds about the Prophet’s ﷺ warning that the first thing that will be raised from this Ummah is Khushoo`.

The Messenger ﷺ said:
أول شيء يرفع من هذه الأمة الخشوع حتى لا ترى فيها خاشعا
❝The very first thing to be raised from this Ummah is Khushoo` (awe, fear of Allaah) until there is not a single person in it with khushoo`.❞
📚 [Saheeh al-Jaami` (2569) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

He ﷺ also said:
أوَّلُ ما يُرْفَعُ مِنَ الناسِ الخشوعُ
❝The first thing to be raised from the people is Khushoo`.❞
📚 [Saheeh al-Jaami` (2576) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

When we say “TO PRAY WITH KHUSHOO`” it means to perform the Ṣalaah with complete submission, devotion, humility, tranquility (a state of peace and calmness, free from worldly distractions), in the state of being god-fearing. We lack this badly, except those whom Allaah has mercy upon.

🔥 The Complainers:

1️⃣ A lot of people start complaining if the Imaam exceeds 45 mins while leading Taraaweeh. But these same people will have no issues in running for 90 mins while playing football, or exercising for more than an hour in the gym.

2️⃣ A lot of us can't spare 15 mins a day to recite the Qur’aan, while we have no issues in scrolling for hours on our phone.

3️⃣ A lot of people will fill the stadiums, but they won't fill the Masaajid.

4️⃣ They have time to watch movies in theaters, and shows on TVs, but no time or enthusiasm to learn the basics of their Deen.

⚡️ It's all about mind over matters:

The mental willpower can control physical and emotional limitations. By controlling thoughts and reactions, one can overcome pain, or difficult situations.

“If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.” But if you start nitpicking, then the routine becomes a burden, the easy becomes difficult, and the achievable becomes impossible.

👉 Last year (1446H), I came across an uncle, may Allaah preserve him upon goodness, who completed the recitation of the Qur’aan 11 times in Ramaḍhaan. He would recite the Qur’aan from Asr till Maghrib. Then after Maghrib till Ishaa. Then after Taraaweeh till Qiyaam al-Layl. The only time I saw him pause was at Iftaar time. Even between Adhaan and Iqaamah he would be reciting the Qur’aan.

👉 Then I saw couple of brothers who, in the last 10 nights, stood in prayers for hours every night. Each of their two Raka`ah prayer would be an hour long, with long Qiyaam, long Rukoo`, and long Sujood.

They reminded of the Ḥadeeth of Ḥuthaifah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet ﷺ prayed Surah al-Baqarah, aal-`Imraan, and al-Nisaa' in one night. And his ﷺ Rukoo` ans Sujood were as long as his Qiyaam. [See Saheeh Muslim]

*1. Stop saying *“what if”**

what if they leave?
what if I fail?
what if I mess everything?

Replace ’what if’ with
قَدَّرَ الله وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ
Allah decreed it, and whatever He wills, He does.

Shaytan loves hypothetical disasters. He keeps you in fear so you never move forward.

*2. Stop complaining*
Complaining rewires your brain towards negativity. It trains your heart to focus on what’s missing instead of what present.

If you keep speaking lack, you’ll start seeing lack everywhere. If you speak gratitude, Allah promises to increase you.

Say الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ instead.

*3. Stop rehearsing disasters*
When you constantly replay the worst-case scenario, you train your heart to fear the creation more than the Creator.

That’s how anxiety becomes a habits. Stop predicting pain that doesn’t exist yet.

Your job is effort. Allah’s job is outcome.

*4. The 10-second waswas rule.*
You have 10 seconds to decide:
Is this thought pulling me closer to Allah or away from Him?

Not every thought deserves your attention. Most are just passing shadows.

When it hits, say:
أعوذُ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ

*5. Stop comparing your life.*
Comparison makes you feels behind even when you’re blessed.

Nothing steals peace faster than measuring your life against someone else’s.

Your tests, your timing, your rizq, it’s all written specifically for you.

He taught that when your mind feels restless or overwhelmed, you should turn your thoughts into dhikr (remembrance of Allah).

One powerful example is this du’a:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَال
Transliteration:
Allahumma inni Auzubika Minal Hammi Wal Hazan wal Ajzi Wal Kasali, wal Bukhli wal Jubni, wa Dhalai d-Dayni wa Ghalabatir-Rijaal

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief, from weakness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, and from the burden of debts and being overpowered by men. (Bukhari)

May Allah Ta'ala grant us the tawfeeq to be of those who put our Tawakkul in Him Ta'ala , آمــــــــــين آمــــــــــين آمــــــــــين يا رب العالمين

Marriage was never meant to be the union of two perfect people.

It is often two wounded hearts
trying to love each other
while carrying histories they did not choose,
fears they do not fully understand,
and pain they sometimes struggle to explain.

But Islam teaches us something powerful:

Your wounds are not permission
to wound others.

Allah says:

“And speak to people good words.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:83)

Even in pain.
Even in anger.
Even when misunderstood.

Because sometimes,
you can win the argument
and slowly lose the heart Allah entrusted to you.

And wallahi,
many marriages are not destroyed by lack of love
but by unhealed pain speaking too loudly.

Not every frustration needs to become fire.
Not every hurt needs to become humiliation.
Not every disagreement needs to end with someone feeling unloved.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“The strong person is not the one who overcomes people by strength, but the one who controls himself while in anger.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

Control.

Not silence.
Not suppression.
But restraint for the sake of Allah.

Because words matter.

A tongue can become mercy…
or destruction.

One sentence can soften a heart for years.
Another can leave wounds that remain long after the apology.

So before speaking, ask yourself:

Will these words bring us closer to Allah and each other…
or push us further apart?

Beloved husband, beloved wife
you are not enemies.

Shaytan wants you to believe you are.

He wants every disagreement to become a battlefield of pride.
He wants softness replaced with ego,
understanding replaced with blame,
and mercy replaced with the desperate need to “win.”

But marriage is not “me versus you.”

It is both of you
protecting the love Allah placed between your hearts.

Allah describes marriage as:

“And He placed between you affection and mercy.”
(Surah Ar-Rum 30:21)

Mercy.

Not perfection.

Mercy means:
“I know you are struggling… and I will still choose gentleness.”

Mercy means:
“I could expose your weakness, but I will protect your dignity.”

Mercy means:
“I refuse to let my pain turn me into someone cruel.”

Sometimes you need wudu before words.
Sometimes you need sujood before confrontation.
Sometimes you need to calm your heart
before speaking from a storm inside you.

Because not every emotion deserves immediate expression.
Some emotions need healing first.

Dear soul,
you can be hurt
without turning your spouse into the villain.

And you can speak your truth
without setting fire to the home you prayed Allah would bless.

The Prophet ﷺ was never vulgar, cruel, or harsh in speech.
And the closest hearts to Allah
are often the softest in character.

So love each other with taqwa.

Apologize quickly.
Forgive sincerely.
Lower your pride.
Raise your mercy.

And when conflict comes
…and it will
do not ask:

“How do I defeat them?”

Ask:

“How do we protect what Allah gave us?”

Because the most beautiful marriages
are not the ones without hardship

they are the ones where two imperfect people
keep returning to mercy
for the sake of Allah.

And that kind of love…
is the kind that reaches Jannah.

Ya Allah,

Place mercy between our hearts.
Teach us to speak with gentleness even when hurt.
Protect our tongues from cruelty and our hearts from pride.

Ya Rabb, do not let Shaytan make us enemies to one another.
Make us garments for each other
covering faults, bringing comfort, and protecting dignity.

Grant us the love that softens anger, the patience that survives hardship, and the sincerity that keeps returning to You.

Ya Allah, if we are wounded, let us heal without destroying each other.
If we are angry, let us remember You before we speak.
If we are struggling, let our marriage become a path back to Your mercy
not away from it.

And let our love be filled with sakinah in this dunyaand reunion in Jannah.

Allaahumma Aameen ❤️

Imagine this weak creature growing up only to kill, burn, loot, and act tyrannically, arguing about the existence of the Creator or objecting to the rulings of Allah in His Book or the Sunnah of His Messenger.

He may even reach such arrogance and pride that he becomes disobedient to his parents!

Forgetting the one who stayed awake for his sake, who cried for his pain, and who prayed for him in the darkness of the night, repaying kindness with neglect, ingratitude, and perhaps even abuse and insults.

"Does man not see that We created him from a drop of sperm-yet he becomes a clear adversary?" (Qur'an 36:77)

May Allah reward everyone who reads and helps spread this.

It happens every day. Often we know of the person who has fallen into its clutches and at times we don’t! Most view it merely as a cycle of life which is inevitable, as a result they fail to heed the message it delivers. Our pious predecessors used to say that if a person cannot learn a lesson from the Janaazah that leaves before him then nothing in life would teach him a lesson for this is by far life’s greatest and most powerful lesson. This is nothing but the lesson of DEATH that we are talking about here which is delivered more frequently these days than before.

Once a pilot of the air force narrated a personal experience of a lifetime: one that shook his imagination to the core and transformed his subsequent behaviour in life completely. He recounted:

"On a routine flight, the engine of my aircraft developed some complications which I was unable to locate and correct. Frantic messages to the control tower were not proving too helpful. Very soon the plane was accelerating towards the ground in a deathly nose-dive. I got frightingly convinced that my very few moments of life were fast ticking away. As death was staring at me with horribly lustful eyes, I could see the `performance' of my life flashing across my mind in those very last few seconds of my survival. I was a terrified and an ashamed witness to my own misdeeds. I could see no one around to soothe and comfort me---none of those assuring and reassuring heroes, friends, and relatives who used to help avoid the discomforting question of death and its consequences. The ordeal was terrible; the chances of survival nil!

It was a new life for me when I was miraculously survived the crash: It was incredible indeed. I forced my way out of the cockpit with some minor injuries and the most important message I could possibly learn: Life is too precious to be wasted in the meaningless pursuits of self-gratification. Thereafter, my attitude has undergone a complete transformation. Now I try to make sure that I learn about the Religion of Allah Ta’ala as much as I can and practise it sincerely. I hope my Gracious Creator forgives my shameful past when my unavoidable day of meeting Him would suddenly arrive."

All of us may not experience a near-death before the real one. We do, however, receive enough reminders of death in the news of the departure of others. There are only two options with us: either to sincerely prepare for the ultimate by submitting to the Message of Allah Ta’ala or to avoid contemplating the idea of death until it actually arrives. The consequence of the first choice will be lasting happiness in the future; the second option may result in an uncertain pleasure in the present existence, but will result in a definite disaster in the next one. The choice is ours!

We can view death as merely a cycle of life and let it have no impact on our lives or we can view it in the way it is meant to- more than a cycle of life, a message that no matter who we are or what our worldly successes and achievements and accomplishments are, one day it will all come to an end, sometimes even abruptly without a warning! Death would render all our worldly achievements and successes invalid and bring us to the harsh reality of what a truly meaningful life in the sight of our Creator Allah Ta’ala is! The Qur’aan and hadeeth are replete with this warning. Suratut Takaasur does a fine job at delivering this message even clearer!

Are the countless Janaazas before our eyes not empirical enough or do we require more to prove this?

Can we still live life with the attitude of wanton of a teenager when death and its most powerful message is all around us?

Assallamu alaikum warahmatullah

Sisters, Whenever your husband is returning home, the moment he enters the house, as a wife, halt whatever you are doing immediately:

-If you are on a call, end it.
-If you are surfing the net, drop the phone.
-If you are on a chat, suspend it.
-If you have visitors, leave them and walk up to your husband.
-Whatever chore you are doing, abandon it, if it can't be abandoned, say something positive.
-If you are in an online live event, suspend it.
-If you are watching TV, abandon it.

For indeed, your husband is your king and if a king enters his palace, it's not befitting that he shouldn't be welcomed, so hurry up to welcome your king, collect his brief case/load, sit him down, switch on the fan/AC for him, clean the sweat on his forehead, collect his car/bike keys from him and place them on the table, remove his shoes and socks, prepare the bathroom for his bath and serve his meal.

Brothers, Whenever your wife is returning home from work or the market too, whatever it is you are doing, suspend it if possible:

-Collect the load from her.
-Give her a warm hug.
-Give her a kiss or a peck.
-Shake hands with her.
-Remove her Hijab or Niqab.

For indeed, the Prophet salallahu alayhi wassalam used to welcome even His daughter Fatima radiAllahu anha by walking up to meet her, kissing her and making her sit in his place.

All these and more will make your wife feel relieved and cherished, it will make her forget the stress she passed through out there.

It's an act of disregard for your husband to return home, and you keep doing whatever you are doing, for you never can tell what he passed throughout there while hustling for the family.

As long as we refuse to implement these 'little' things in our lives, many marriages will not stand the test of time, for its the combination of stones that makes a mountain and droplets of water makes an ocean.

May our homes be rectified. Aameen 🤲🤲

Habibi, when you are in love with the right person, you are not scared of the future, because your love brings you closer to Allāh ﷻ, not away from Him.

A righteous woman is not a burden; she is a comfort, a place where a man finds peace after the battles of life.
And a righteous man is not harsh; he is a shelter, a place where a woman feels safe, valued, and at ease.

True love is when two hearts meet upon obedience to Allāh ﷻ, not just emotions, but purpose, patience, and mercy.

May Allāh ﷻ grant every single brother and sister a spouse who will comfort their hearts, strengthen their īmān, and walk with them towards Jannah. 🤲

Assallamu alaikum warahmatullah

The Day of Judgement (Yawm al-Qiyāmah) is the day when every soul will stand before Allah alone no friends no family no status just you and your deeds.

It will begin when the trumpet is blown by the angel and everything in the heavens and earth will come to an end.

Then it will be blown again and all of mankind from Prophet Adam to the last person will be brought back to life.

People will stand in a vast plain waiting in fear. The sun will be brought close and everyone will sweat according to their deeds. Some will be in shade while others will struggle in distress.

Then the records of deeds will be given:some in their right hand these are the successful ones and some in their left hand may Allah protect us.

Every small and big action will be accounted for. Nothing will be hidden. Even what you thought was forgotten will be shown.

The bridge *(Ṣirāṭ)* will be placed over Hellfire sharp and thin. Everyone must cross it. Some will pass quickly and some will fall.

Then comes the final destination:Jannah (Paradise) for those who believed and did good and Hell Jahanam punishment for those who rejected and did evil.

May Allah Count Us Among The People Of Jannah.

After the people cross the Ṣirāṭ,the matter does not end there. There is a place of waiting where rights between people will be settled every injustice,every hurt every wrong word.This is not about big crimes alone; even the small things people ignore in this life will be brought forward.

If you took someone’s right it won’t be paid back with money that day. It will be paid with your good deeds. And if your good deeds finish before justice is completed then their sins will be placed on you. Imagine standing there thinking you did enough… then watching your good deeds being taken one by one.

People who laughed at others hurt others oppressed others or spoke carelessly will realize that nothing truly disappeared. Everything was being preserved for this moment.

Then there will be people whose faces are shining bright calm and full of peace. And there will be others whose faces are darkened with fear regret, and humiliation. Not because of how they looked in life but because of what they carried in their hearts and actions.

There will be a moment when some people will recognize others:

A mother will see her child… but she will not run to them.
A brother will see his sister… but he will turn away.
A best friend will see his friend… but he will say nothing.

Not because they don’t care but because everyone is overwhelmed with their own accountability.

There will also be those who thought they were doing good in this life but their intentions were not sincere. Their actions will not carry weight. And there will be those whose small quiet,sincere deeds unknown to people will suddenly become heavy and save them.

Some people will be stopped before entering Jannah not because they are doomed but because they still need purification. And some will be forgiven in ways no one expected. Because Allah’s mercy is beyond what we can imagine.

And then… there will be a moment that is greater than everything:

For the people of Jannah, after they enter after the joy after the peace Allah will remove the veil, and they will see Him. That moment will be greater than Jannah itself. Every struggle every patience, every tear in this life will suddenly feel worth it.

And for those who turned away… the greatest loss will not only be punishment, but that they will be veiled from their Lord.

⸻❤️‍🩹👇

Now think about this deeply:

Every time you are alone and choose to do good instead of wrong…Every time you hold yourself back from a sin Every time you remember Allah quietly…

You are actually preparing for that Day.

And every time someone ignores Allah delays repentance or says “later”…they are also preparing but for something they may not be able to bear.

After all of this when the people of Jannah begin to settle something deep will happen inside them. They will start to remember their life in this world not with pain but with clarity.

They will remember moments when they almost gave up…
moments when they were tested…moments when they chose patience over anger…
and they will realize that those small struggles were the reason they are here.

Some will say:“Allah saved me from a sin I really wanted… and that saved me today.”
Others will remember a single sincere du‘ā they made in the night, when no one heard them…and they will see its result now.

And then there will be a feeling that cannot be described a complete removal of pain from the heart. No jealousy no sadness no fear. Even the people who had difficult lives in this world will feel as if they never suffered at all.

Meanwhile on the other side, the people of the Fire will begin to realize something heavy:

That many of the things they chased…the attention the pride the temporary enjoyment…were never worth it.

They will remember warnings they ignored.Advice they laughed at.Moments they could have changed but didn’t.

And the most painful part is not just punishment…it is regret that has no end.

They will wish for another chance not to become rich not to become famous but just to go back and do one sincere good deed. But that door is closed forever.

There will also be people who will stand at a place between Jannah and Hell looking at both. When they look at Jannah they will feel hope. When they look at Hell they will feel fear. And Allah out of His mercy will decide their final place.

And then a moment will come where death itself will be brought forward and it will be ended. No more death. No more second chances. Just eternity.

For the people of Jannah:
Eternal peace.
Eternal happiness.
No end.

For others:
A reality they cannot escape.

Now bring it back to yourself…

Right now you are alive.
Right now you can still choose.Right now, your record is still being written.

You can still pray.
You can still change.
You can still leave something for the sake of Allah.

Because once that Day begins…there is no “later”.

A deep reminder to carry:

You are not just living your life…you are writing your ending.

So don’t let temporary desires make you forget an eternal reality.

May Allah make your heart firm your intentions pure, your deeds accepted, and your place among the people of Jannah 🤲❤️‍🩹

Assallamu alaikum warahmatullah

Sayyiduna Mustawrid bin Shaddaad (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that he heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mention, “ *By Allah! The (shortness of the life of this) world, compared to the (eternal life of the) Aakhirah, is like the example of one of you dipping this finger of his into the water of the ocean (saying this, Rasulullah [sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam] indicated to his index finger). (On removing the finger from the water,) he should look at how much water remains on it (i.e. the miniscule amount of water that remains on the finger is like the life of the dunya, which is absolutely insignificant compared to the vastness of the ocean which is like the life of the Aakhirah).* ” (Saheeh Muslim #7197)

If a person has to submerge his finger into the ocean and thereafter remove it from the water, he will find that only a very small amount of water will remain on his finger, equivalent to perhaps one or two drops at most. Such is the minuteness of a drop of water (0.05ml) that it takes 20 000 drops of water to fill just one litre!
In comparison to this insignificant amount of water is the vast water of the ocean. It is said that the ocean covers approximately 70% of the earth’s surface, and though the exact amount of water in the ocean cannot be accurately calculated, the ocean is approximated to contain 1.336 sextillion litres of water. If one million is one with six zeros written after it, then one sextillion is one with twenty-one zeros written after it!

It should be borne in mind that the example in the abovementioned hadeeth is merely for the sake of highlighting the insignificance and worthlessness of this dunya in comparison to the vastness and greatness of the Aakhirah. Hence, the reality is that the vastness and greatness of the Aakhirah, compared to the dunya, is even greater than the vastness of the ocean compared to a drop of water.

When we ponder over this hadeeth, we realize that the purpose of this hadeeth is to create the enthusiasm and yearning in our hearts to strive for the Aakhirah and the magnificent bounties of Jannah. If a person spends his entire life caught up in the rat race, hankering after the dunya and pining after the latest phones, best holidays, and most palatial homes, then even if he acquires all that he aspired for, it will be like a paltry drop of water.

On the contrary, if a person strives for the Hereafter, by ensuring that he fulfils the rights owed to Allah Ta‘ala at all times (such as salaah, fasting, etc.) as well as the rights owed to people (e.g. serving one’s parents, etc), and he also refrains from all sins and causing harm to people, then though he may live a short life, in this concise period he will earn bounties even more vast than the ocean.

Whenever we are bedazzled by the dunya, and become entranced by its glitter and glamour, then we should bring this hadeeth to mind. We should remind ourselves that the dunya that we are pining for is not even a drop in the ocean compared to what Allah Ta‘ala has in store for us in the Hereafter.

Insha-Allah, if we think in this way, we will begin to acquire the quality of zuhd (disinterest in the dunya), and this will assist us to refrain from the sin of israaf (extravagance and wastefulness), and will also assist us to inculcate the sunnah of simplicity in our lives.

May Allah Ta‘ala bless us to truly understand the worthlessness of this world, and may He create the true yearning for the Aakhirah in our hearts, aameen

Assallamu alaikum warahmatullah


The average day is 24 hours long. If we are being generous, the total time you spend on sexual intimacy may be 30 minutes in a day. So, what will you do with the remaining hours? That depends on the kind of person you marry.

Marriage goes far beyond sexual gratification, body physiques, and fulfilling fantasies. While these things may enhance physical pleasure, they are not the foundation upon which a strong marriage is built.

From the earliest days of marriage, couples have had to face real-life challenges like rent, affording transportation, managing pregnancies, paying for children’s education, and being there for each other as companions, friends, advisors, and supporters. If you marry someone who is lazy, inactive, or lacks ambition, you will regret it in the long run, especially if your initial attraction was purely physical. Why? Because physical attraction only lasts so long.

After a few years, the novelty of looks will wear off, and you will be left with the inner qualities of the person you married. If those qualities are lacking, you will feel drained and disillusioned.

Understand, I am not trying to scare you out of marriage. On the contrary, I want to wake you up to the reality of what marriage entails, especially in an era where we have many irresponsible men who fail to live up to their duties.

My message is simple: be prepared. Stand up, find a means of livelihood, and work hard. You don’t need millions to start with, but you do need dedication and a plan. From day one, aim to be a caring, responsible, and attentive husband and father.

And remember, choose a spouse you truly love, someone you’re willing to stand by through thick and thin.


Marriage is far more than a daily sexual marathon; it’s a journey filled with responsibilities, love, trials, and growth. Prepare for all of it, and, with Allah’s help, you will thrive.

Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

*"Then verily the reality of Tawhīd is: That we worship ALLĀH alone.*

*So ˹this means˺:*

*None is called upon except HIM.*

*None is truly revered except HIM.*

*None is truly feared except HIM.*

*None is truly relied upon except HIM.*

*And the religion (all of our acts of obedience) should be for none except HIM, not for anyone from the creation.*

*And that we should neither take the angels nor the prophets as Lords.*

*So how can Imams, shuyūkh, scholars, kings and other than them ˹be taken as Lords˺?!*

*And the messenger (ﷺ) is the conveyor from ALLĀH, ˹conveying˺ HIS commands and prohibitions.*

*So none of the creation is to be shown complete obedience except HIM."*

1. Sleeping in the Morning

If you still sleep at 7AM, 8AM, or 9AM with zero cash flow and no system running; you’re not broke, you’re committed to poverty.

Morning hours are your richest hours.

Poor people waste it.

Wealthy people use it to dominate.

2. Sleeping Too Much

If you’re sleeping more than 7 hours and still can’t pay rent, you’re not resting, you’re hiding.

Too much sleep when your bank account is empty is a symptom of emotional escapism and laziness disguised as fatigue.

3. Eating Too Much

You don’t have emergency savings but you eat like royalty.

When you eat more than you build, you’re funding your stomach, not your future.

Discipline is what separates hunger from starvation.

4. Too Much Sex

Sex is free. But the time, energy, distraction, and spiritual depletion it causes when overindulged, is expensive.

If you’re broke and sex is your top priority, you’re literally wasting the little power you have left.

5. Living to Impress

Buying clothes, gadgets, and data to appear okay while your soul is screaming for help.

Poor people care too much about perception, rich people care about results.

6. Over-Spiritualizing Everything

You fast and pray, but refuse to learn how money works.

You bind demons, but won’t bind your bad habits.

God is not your business partner.

He is your Creator.

He blesses the works of your hands, not your daydreams.

8. Hanging Around Broke-Minded Friends

If all your friends are broke and comfortable with it, run.

You will never rise above the thinking of your circle.

9. Overthinking Everything

You over-research, over-question, and over-delay.

While you're thinking, someone else is earning.

The result? You become a smart broke person.

10. Fear of Selling

You think selling is begging.

You’d rather suffer in silence than promote your own product, skill, or idea.

Newsflash: No one will feed your children for you.

To your success and beyond

I have heard many people complain about strong urges, about masturbation, and about falling into "dirty plays."

But the truth is this...if you can find a single, right-minded, healthy adult from the age of 18 and above who says they don’t feel these urges, then that person is not being honest with you.

These feelings are natural. Allah Himself placed them inside us.

What makes the difference is not whether you feel them or not, but how you handle them...how you allow them to guide or misguide you.

The scary part is this..the more you feed these desires with sins, with trespassing, and with mistakes, the stronger and more restless they come back.

It becomes a cycle that never ends.

Most of the time, those with the heaviest urges are people who have already tasted it before, through pornography, through "rough plays", through fornication, through secret relationships, or even through abuse when they were young.

Once the taste enters, it calls you back again and again.

But listen, my brother, my sister...that can never be an excuse for immorality. It cannot be an excuse for sin.

Because you are not the only one who feels it.

Everyone feels it. The difference is this..Will your urges conquer your morality, or will your morality conquer your urges?

The solution is only one: do not feed them outside of marriage. Don’t even taste it. Don’t test it. Don’t try it “just once.”

Because once you do, it only grows worse.

So, what do you do?

Don’t look at filthy images or X-rated videos.

Don’t touch your private parts unnecessarily.

Don’t feed yourself with songs, stories, or conversations that stir desires.

Don’t seek unnecessary closeness with the opposite gender.

Don’t enter places where your weakness will be exposed.

I cannot name them all. But at the root of everything is one thing: the fear of Allah.

By Allah, taqwa will protect you more than anything else.

But look at how people deceive themselves. Many claim they fear Allah with their tongues.

But if you look closer, some only fear shame, not Allah.

And when shame feels far away, they repeat the sin.

True fear of Allah is not after the fall. It is before the fall.

When your desires burn hot… when your chest is restless… don’t surrender to the urge. Open the Qur’an.
m
Let it fill your ears. Read its meanings. Remind yourself of Jannah and Jahannam, of the consequences of zina, and of Allah’s mercy for those who restrain themselves.

Because the moment you willingly walk into sin, with your eyes, with your heart, with your hands...at that moment, your fear of Allah has left you, and you are left with yourself and Shaytan.

Now hear this carefully...these urges are not a punishment. Even when they feel unbearable, they are not punishments.

They are tests. They are training. They are signs of growth.

Picture a young woman who has felt these urges for years but restrained herself. She lowered her gaze. She avoided temptations. She guarded her heart. Then one day, Allah blesses her with a man who did the same, a man who saved himself, who lowered his gaze, who avoided sins, and who saved his heart only for what is halal.

Imagine their first innocent night together as husband and wife.

It is pure. It is fresh. It is beautiful. There is no fear, no shame, no regret. It is love made halal, desire made safe, and intimacy made rewarding and driving.

Compare that to the one who wasted their desires in haram... who played around, who experimented, and who fell into sins before marriage. That person has stolen from their own future. The sweetness of the first time? Gone. The innocence? Gone. The anticipation? Wasted.

What remains is guilt, scars, regret, and the weight of sin.


This is why the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

“Whoever guarantees me what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I will guarantee for him Paradise.”

So no, your urges are not curses. They are blessings when handled right. They are divine gifts. They are raw energy placed in you by Allah.

Misused, they destroy. Controlled, they lift you higher.

They can be your ladder to Jannah, or your chain to Jahannam.

Without them, marriage would not be sweet. Families would not be built.

Humanity itself would vanish. Allah placed them in you for a reason: to lead you to marriage, to reproduction, to family, and to love. But He gave you a shield to guard them: patience.

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

“O young people, whoever among you can afford marriage, let him marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. And whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for fasting will be a shield for him.”

So do not think you are cursed. Do not think you are abnormal. You are human. You are being tested.

And your patience today will be your sweetness tomorrow.

When Allah finally brings you that halal love... that husband, that wife, you will look back and say: The wait was worth it.

Every second of resistance was not wasted. It was written. It was witnessed. It will be rewarded.

So hold on. Guard yourself. Fear Allah before you fall. And remember... Jannah is worth more than a few minutes of desire.

We asked a simple question, and the answers were loud…
Not from statistics, but from real hearts.

Marriages today are not just failing because of “problems”…
They are failing because the foundation itself is weak.

Many entered marriage without truly understanding it through the lens of the deen.
Some had the appearance of righteousness, but lacked the character to sustain love, mercy, and patience.

Some didn’t prepare emotionally, spiritually, or financially.
Others walked in with unrealistic expectations, shaped by culture, pressure, or fantasy… not reality.

And then comes the silent destroyer:
Poor communication.

He doesn’t express.
She feels unheard.
Both are hurting… but no one is truly listening.

Trust begins to crack.
Patience wears thin.
Small misunderstandings grow into heavy distance.

And sometimes…
It’s the interference of others.
Or choosing beauty over character.
Money over deen.
Feelings over responsibility.

Then love fades…
Not because it was never there,
But because it was never protected.

Marriage in Islam was never meant to be a battlefield.
It was meant to be a place of sukoon a refuge for two souls helping each other reach Jannah.

But that only happens when there is:
• Sincere intention for Allah
• Knowledge before action
• Patience during trials
• Mercy in disagreements
• And effort… even when it’s hard

A successful marriage is not built on perfection.
It is built on two people who are willing to grow, forgive, and return to Allah again and again.

May Allah heal broken homes, guide our hearts, and grant us marriages filled with barakah, mercy, and true companionship. Ameen 🤍

New Scam Method!

30 minutes can financially ruin your life.

This is not an ordinary phone scam — it is far more dangerous.

The scammers don’t want your money, your password, or your trust.

They only want your kindness.

Recently, a new “help-seeking scam” has surfaced in malls, metro stations, marketplaces, and public places.

The scammers are usually well-dressed middle-aged or elderly individuals.

They may say they don’t know how to use their phone, that they need to check their pension or subsidy or that they pressed the wrong page by mistake, and they ask you to help operate their phone.


*The dangerous part:*

When you take the phone in your hand, it is often already on a video call, or screen recording and facial recognition permissions are enabled.

Someone on the other side is watching you. You think you are helping, but your biometric data is being collected.

This is not a normal scam. It is an AI biometric identity scam.

They don’t want your money. They want you.
If you touch the phone (fingerprint), read out numbers or verification codes (voice), or look at the screen while speaking or using the phone (facial movement), your three main biometric identifiers — fingerprint, voice, and face — can be stolen.
Modern AI can create a near-perfect digital clone of you.


What happens next is frightening.

Scammers can use your digital clone to apply for online loans, consumer financing, credit cash-outs, and automatically pass face and voice verification.

Within 30 minutes, all the loan amount you are eligible for could be exhausted.
When you receive bank notifications, you realize that your money hasn’t disappeared — instead, you are drowning in debt, possibly millions of nairas.

*Remember these 3 rules:*

1.Never help strangers operate their phone.

2.Do not touch, click, look at, or read anything aloud — even if they say, “Just one click.”

3.Unknown video calls: Immediately disconnect the call. Never cooperate with requests to look into the camera and speak.

Share this message with elderly people, children, and kind-hearted friends. Scammers are now targeting good people.

*Final reminder:*
Never think, “I won’t be that unlucky,” or “I am smart enough not to fall for this scam.”

That very confidence and kindness are what scammers exploit.


*Please share this message.*

One extra share means one less victim!...

If a man and a woman both work, and the house depends on the income of the both of them to survive, then unless the activities of the home is split between them just as the bills, the woman will be doing way more than the man in that equation. Way more in a way that will sooner than later create resentment and a loss of respect and consideration.

Look at it this way:

You wake up in the morning as a man, get dressed, get served breakfast, and off you go to work. Your wife wakes up, has to prepare breakfast, get the kids ready for school, then goes to work. She runs the home shift first, then goes to work.

In the evening after a hard day's job you cant wait to get home and "rest". For most women in this working arrangement, there is no "rest" for coming home from work. They come back to the second home shift to get things to work at home. Fix dinner, sort the kids and all.

Rinse, repeat! Rinse, repeat! Gradually it saps interest in the marriage out of her as she becomes a shadow of herself.

How do we solve this?

1. The home should have no need for her income. That way, working is for just herself. So the extra burden from work, she can not in good conscience blame you or the marriage for it. The world may have shifted from this but this is the idea around the man being the sole provider. If a woman is to give her best to the home, she cant be burdened with the task of providing for the house because then she will be forced to take on two roles; a part of the man's and all of her's.

2. Just as she is supporting your role as a provider, you have to ACTIVELY support her in her responsibilities in the home front. Actively here means, this is not the support you give occasionally as you deem fit. Just as her financial support to your house is something she does even when it is uncomfortable, you will have to jettison your "African mentality" or "Alpha male" disposition and split the responsibilities of the home front too just as you split those of financial responsibility.

The problem with option 2 above is that unlike financial responsibility that can be ever so easily split between a husband and a wife, that of the home front isnt so. Certain roles in the house are biologically gender assigned. You can take on doing the dishes and cooking food, but can you take over pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and motherly care? Now imagine if a woman has to fend for the home and still be engaged in these harrowing tasks that only a woman can give!

This is why I have a hypothesis that forcing women to become providers, especially in an unfair arrangement that it usually turns out to be, steals from their femininity and moulds them to act more like men, with tough hearts that are more imposing than they are subtle. Do you know why more and more women are losing respect for men in today's world? Because they have been forced to take on the roles of men while being expected to do theirs, and they are doing both, even if imperfectly, while some men still fail at even what is left of theirs that they are expected to take.

What is even worse is the absence of acknowledgement and appreciation because some men fear that acknowledging their wife does more for the home than he does will make him lose her regards for him so he feigns ignorance.

In the end, she looks at the man who is supposed to be her husband and realises, financially he isn't up and doing, emotionally he is absent, and in some even more unfortunate cases, sexually he is also missing in action. Then she begins to wonder "what exactly am I supposed to respect"?

For starters, please don't raise sons thay will want to split bills with their wives. It is the genesis of many problems we are having today in marriage.

Islam is a religion of peace!
Islam teaches love and kindness!
Muslims are peace loving people!

Look around you, the Muslims that surround you are the epitome of humanity, they're accommodating, loving and respectful.

The version of Islam that you read in the media is nothing but propaganda and lies.

The false narratives are coined to taint the image of Islam because they found out that the impeccable teachings of the religion do not suit their corrupt lifestyle.

Are you a Muslim?

Come on, do some bragging

I could remember the first time I saw it happen.

A child who once listened to his parents began to ignore them. Advice that used to matter suddenly felt like noise to him. Yet the same child would sit attentively when a friend spoke, or quickly follow the influence of outsiders.

Nothing about the child changed overnight.

Something shifted in the relationship.

As a parent, you must understand this clearly.

"The fastest way to lose your child is disconnection.

And disconnection often begins in small, repeated moments.

When a child speaks and is constantly dismissed, they learn to stop coming to you. When they are only corrected but rarely understood, they begin to hide parts of themselves.
When fear replaces comfort, they start looking for safety elsewhere.

Eventually, someone else becomes the one who listens. And whoever listens, leads.

I've met parents who believe authority alone will keep their child close. It won’t. Authority without connection creates silence, not loyalty.

If your child feels judged every time they open up, they will edit themselves around you. If they feel unheard, they will find someone who hears them. If they feel controlled but not understood, they will seek freedom in the voices of others.

And today, “outsiders” are not just friends. They are on phones, in videos, in social media, shaping your child’s thinking quietly.

So what keeps a child anchored to you?

Presence.

Not just being in the same house, but being available.

Listening.

Let them finish. Let them express, even when you disagree.

Respect.

Speak to them in a way that preserves their dignity.

Trust.

Guide them without making them feel like suspects.

Your child does not expect perfection from you. They expect to feel safe with you.

If they find that safety elsewhere, you will slowly lose your voice in their life.

But if they find it in you, even when the whole world speaks, your voice will still be the one that matters most.

I pray we never marry a man who performs love before marriage but withdraws kindness after the nikah.

The man who floods you with sweet words, promises the world, and makes you feel chosen only to slowly become someone else once the door of marriage closes behind you.

A man who knew how to speak softly before marriage but forgets gentleness once you become his wife.

A man who knew how to pursue you, but never learned how to protect your heart.

Because love is not proven in the excitement of pursuit.
Love is proven in responsibility.

Real love is not the man who impresses you before marriage, it is the man who honors you after marriage.

The one who remembers that the woman beside him left her home, her comfort, and sometimes even her safety, trusting that he would be her peace.

Marriage is not where kindness should end.
Marriage is where it should begin.

A righteous man does not become colder after marriage; he becomes more mindful, more protective, more gentle because now he carries an amanah (trust) from Allah.

A woman should not feel safer before marriage than she does inside it.

A husband should not be the reason a woman's light fades.

Instead, he should be the one who guards it, nurtures it, and thanks Allah for it.

And dear sister, if Allah writes marriage for you, may it be with a man who fears Allah in how he speaks to you, how he treats you, and how he protects your heart.

A man whose character stays the same not just during the chase, but throughout the life you build together.

Because the most beautiful love is the one that grows stronger after marriage, not weaker.

May we never be deceived by temporary sweetness, and may Allah grant us spouses whose love is rooted in taqwa.

Ya Allah, grant us spouses who fear You in how they treat us.
Grant us marriages filled with mercy, gentleness, and sincerity.
Protect our hearts from those who pretend to love but harm us after commitment.
And bless us with partners who lead us closer to You, not away from You.

Ameen.
