The Prophet ﷺ said:
'And if Musa (alayhi as-salam) were alive, he would not be able to do anything except to follow me.'
The status of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is unparalleled. He is the best of creation, chosen by Allah for unique roles in this world and the Hereafter.
Allah honored our Prophet ﷺ with this esteemed status, a rank that remains unparalleled until the Day of Resurrection.
Wudu and Ghusl are essential for maintaining ritual cleanliness before Salah.
Without them, our prayers are not accepted.
Let’s make sure we perform these acts of purification properly.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Recite Surat Al-Ikhlas and Al-Mu'awwidhatain (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas) three times at dawn and dusk. It will suffice you in all respects.” [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]
Let’s include these surahs in our morning and evening routine.
While the angel Jibril (A.S) was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he heard a sound above him. He looked up and said:
"This is a gate that has been opened in heaven today. It was never opened before."
Then Angel then came down through that gate. Jibril remarked:
"This is an angel who has come down to earth. He never came down before."
The angel greeted them and said:
"Rejoice with two lights given to you. Such lights were not given to any Prophet before you. These lights are: Fatihatul-Kitab (Surat Al-Fatihah) and the concluding verses of Surat Al-Baqarah. You will never recite a word from them without being given the blessings it contains."
This hadith highlights and emphasizes the unique and powerful blessings of these two parts of the Quran and the guidance they provide to those who recite them.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever says سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ one hundred times a day, will have his sins forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.”
(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Let’s commit to this daily dhikr for forgiveness.
Are you striving for the highest levels in Jannah?
Aim High: Always aspire for the highest levels in Jannah and be steadfast in your righteous actions.
Allah says:
"وَسارِعوا إِلى مَغفِرَةٍ مِن رَبِّكُم وَجَنَّةٍ عَرضُهَا السَّماواتُ وَالأَرضُ أُعِدَّت لِلمُتَّقينَ"
"And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden [i.e., Paradise] as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous." (Āli ‘Imrān: 133)
Allah encourages us to hasten towards good deeds, aiming for the highest ranks in Jannah. Let’s have high hopes for Allah’s blessings and mercy and take consistent steps toward achieving them.
In the evening, the Prophet ﷺ would say:
أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ , وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ , لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
Let’s end our day with dua and gratitude.
"The foundation of every act of worship is Niyyah," as the Prophet ﷺ said:
'إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ'
'Verily actions are by intentions' (Sahih al-Bukhari 1).
#Muslim #Dawah #Allah #Quran #Sabr #Sheikh #Mufti #Student #Knowledge #Musliminspiration #Salam #AssalamuAlaykum
Our beloved Prophet ﷺ said,
“There is not one of you but that his place in Paradise and Hellfire has already been written.”
They said, “Ya Rasulullah, shall we not depend upon that alone?”
The Prophet said, “No, proceed with deeds, for everyone will find it easy to do such deeds that will lead him to his destined place.”
He then recited:
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ (5) وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ (6) فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ (7) وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
(8) وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ (9) فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ (10)
"As for those who give and are righteous, they will have an easy time. But as for those who are stingy and consider themselves above it, they will have a difficult time." [Surah Al-Layl 92:5-10]
Allahu Akbar! 🌿

How many times have we said 'thank you' to our parents?
Allah, سبحانه وتعالى, says in the Quran:
(وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ)
“And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents…” [31:14].
This command is so pivotal that scholars like Al-Qurtubi said, "After the Creator, those most deserving of our respect and kindness are our parents."
Let’s remember to show our gratitude and love to them every day.

When you pray, face the Kaaba in Mecca:
فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ
"So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram."
Facing the Qiblah unites us as one Ummah in our worship.

What happens when our faith feels overshadowed by the trials of life?
The Prophet ﷺ painted a vivid image: “There is no heart that does not have clouds like the clouds that cover the moon.
When the cloud covers it, it is dark, and when the cloud moves away it shines.” (Classed as sahih by Al-Albani)
Like the moon obscured by clouds, our hearts sometimes get clouded by doubts or sins. But with effort and Allah's guidance, these clouds can be cleared.
Scholar Sufyaan al-Thawri, may Allah have mercy on him, aptly stated that iman is beyond mere words. It's what firmly resides in the heart and is reflected in our actions.
Let’s strive to clear the clouds and let our faith shine brightly.

In the morning, the Prophet ﷺ would say:
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا , وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا , وَبِكَ نَحْيَا , وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ , وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ.
In the evening, he would say:
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا , وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا , وَبِكَ نَحْيَا , وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ , وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ.
Let’s make these duas a part of our daily routine.

Whoever says
حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ، عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
seven times in the morning and evening, Allah will suffice him against all that concerns him.
Let’s place our trust in Allah with this powerful dhikr.

Allah becomes your best friend.
No more loneliness.
No more confusion.
No more worry.
When we have confidence in Allah’s Plan for us,
full Iman—
And that makes us WANT to worship Allah even more.
We yearn for our next prayer - after all, who doesn’t look forward to connecting with their best friend?
Are you truly making the most of your time to grow closer to Allah?
Value Your Time: Every moment is an opportunity to strengthen your iman and deepen your connection with Allah.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death." (Narrated by Al-Hakim and authenticated by Al-Albani)
Let’s seize these precious moments to enrich our faith and live with true purpose.
Every time we pray, we engage in a conversation with Allah, and He responds to our words.
Let’s be present and mindful during Salah, knowing that Allah is listening and responding.
Believers hold every prophet and messenger in high regard, affirming their truthfulness and righteousness. They do not differentiate by believing in some and rejecting others. Allah SWT says in the Quran:
لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ
'We make no distinction between any of His messengers.'
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:285)
However, it is important to recognize that prophets hold different levels in the sight of Allah.
This variation in rank is part of divine wisdom, with certain prophets being given special honors, such as those known as the 'Ulul Azm,' the resolute ones among the prophets.
Allah says:
"أَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ"
"And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience]." (Al-Baqarah 2:43)
This verse emphasizes the importance of prayer, giving zakah, and the power of worshiping together in unity and obedience to Allah.
Think about a time when everyone will be judged. The ones who were too proud will be brought down to size. And that’s when it really counts.
So, shouldn't we all check ourselves and try to get rid of any pride we might be holding onto?
Allah says:
حافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ
"Observe the [five obligatory] prayers—especially the middle prayer—and stand in true devotion to Allah."
Taking care of our prayer times, purity, and intentions is crucial.
Have you ever thought about the importance of your intentions?
Have Sincere Intention: Turn to Allah both inwardly and outwardly. Remember, the sole purpose of worship is for Allah:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
"And I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56].
Be aware of your inner dialogue, especially when you're doing good deeds. Ensure that you're doing them for the sake of Allah only, not to impress those around you. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Actions are judged by intention.”
Let's strive to purify our hearts and worship with sincerity.

In the morning, the Prophet ﷺ would say:
أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ , لاَ إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ , لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
Let’s start our day with praise and remembrance of Allah.
#Muslim #Dawah #Allah #Quran #Sabr #Sheikh #Mufti #Student #Knowledge #Musliminspiration #Salam #AssalamuAlaykum
Remember that what really matters is being good inside and following that up with righteous actions. Understand that true superiority lies in taqwa, God consciousness and piety,
As Allah swt said:
Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.
[al-Hujuraat 49:13]
#Muslim #Dawah #Allah #Quran #Sabr #Sheikh #Mufti #Student #Knowledge #Musliminspiration #Salam #AssalamuAlaykum
Have you ever wondered how to deepen your connection with Allah?
Revive your iman: The best way to receive guidance from Allah is by engaging in worship and righteous deeds to rekindle the faith in your heart. Allah says:
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ يهديهم ربهم بإيمانهم
Indeed, those who believe and do good will be guided by Allah through their faith. [Yunus:9]
To receive Allah's guidance, start by acting upon what you already know:
🕌 If you're not praying, start.
🛑 If you're backbiting, stop.
💰 Give a little bit of your wealth to charity.
🤝 Help others in your community.
The more good deeds you do, the more Allah will guide you to even better ones. Let’s strive to amplify our devotion and grow closer to Allah.

Allah says, “Every act of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting; it is for Me, and I will reward it.”
This means that unlike other acts of worship, the reward for fasting is unlimited in its quantity.
#Muslim #Dawah #Allah #Quran #Sabr #Sheikh #Mufti #Student #Knowledge #Musliminspiration #Salam #AssalamuAlaykum
The Prophet ﷺ emphasized that
'لاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ صَلَاةً بِغَيْرِ طُهُورٍ' –
'Allah does not accept any prayer without purification' (Sahih al-Bukhari 6954).
Let’s ensure we are ritually clean before Salah to maintain its sanctity.

The Quran advises us,
"يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ"
"O Children of Adam! Take your adornment at every masjid" (Al-A'raf 7:31).
Our attire for Salah reflects our reverence.
Let’s ensure we are appropriately dressed to maintain the sanctity of our worship
