Allaah does not close a door at a servant - out of His (Divine) Wisdom...
Except that He opens for him (another) door - out of His (infinite) Mercy

⚡️Worldly competition = destruction in the Deen
In the Saheehain it is reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“By Allaah, it is not poverty that I fear for you, but I fear that this world will be opened up with its wealth for you as it was opened to those before you; and you begin to vie with one another over it as they did and eventually it will ruin you as it ruined them.”
***
🎓Ibn Hajar [rahimahu-llaah] said:
“From this Hadeeth we learn that competition in worldly gains leads one towards destruction in (his) Deen.”

💠 Dhikr: Definition, Types, And Mentioning Some Of The Mistakes That A Lot Of People Do

⚡️The purpose of Khashyah (Fear) and Dhikr (Allaah's remembrance)
🎓Sa`eed Ibn Jubair رحمه الله said:
❝Khashyah (Fear) is: that you fear Allaah so much so that this fear prevents you from committing sins. This is (true) Khashyah (Fear).
And the Dhikr (Remembrance) is: to obey Allaah تعالى. Whoever obeys Allaah تعالى has remembered Him; and whoever disobeys Him has not remembered Him even if he does a lot Tasbeeh* and recites (a lot of) Qur’aan.”
📚[al-Hilyah (4/276)]
*Tasbeeh refers to saying: Suh-haan Allaah (Glory be to Allaah) and all other words said in the praise of Allaah
Like the one who supplicates, becomes impatient, and gives up supplication when he sees that his Duaa is not being answered. This is from having bad thoughts about Allaah.
aa:
Remember:
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
{We have certainly created man into hardship.}
3️⃣ Gentleness and Deliberateness:
Being gentle in the affairs and not being hasty helps one get through the difficult times.
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said to Ashaj Abdul-Qais رضي الله عنه, ❝You possess two qualities that Allaah loves. These are clemency and tolerance.❞
📚 [Saheeh Muslim]
And when Allaah تعالى described his Prophet, Ibraaheem عليه السلام: He تعالى said:
إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَأَوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ
{Indeed Ibraaheem was compassionate and forbearing}
📚[Surah Tawbah (9): 114]
There is nothing like forbearance which helps a person get pass through such difficult days.
4️⃣ Be in the company of the righteous:
Be with those who help one in the remembrance of Allaah, remind of the promises of Allaah, and guide when mistaken, console when feeling low and dejected. For Allaah تعالى said:
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
{We have certainly created man into hardship.}
The companionship of the righteous is like being in the garden filled with beautiful flowers and pleasant smell.
5️⃣ Making earnest Du
There is nothing like Duaa which strengthens the broken heart. Du
aa helps in removing the distress and anxiety. One should make best use of the time and utilize it in making a lot of Duaa, specially those Du
aa which are to be said during sorrow and anxiety.
(لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ)
(اللَّهُ، اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا)
And other such Du`aas which have been mentioned in the authentic Hadeeth.
Be Nice To Everyone,
For The Moment Will Come To Say The Goodbyes,
And That Time Is Not Fixed.
Part #1
All of us have read and are aware of the Ahaadeeth about the one who commits suicide, as reported in the Saheehain and others:
The one who killed himself by stabbing, will keep stabbing himself in the Hellfire.
The one who killed himself by consuming poison, will be sipping on poison in the Hellfire.
The one who killed himself by throwing himself off the cliff, will keep falling in the Hellfire.
⚡️So, if this is the punishment of the one who kills himself, then how much more severe will the punishment of those who kill others❓️ Those who kill others with guns and bullets! Those who kill others by dropping bombs on them!
If the explosions of bombs can bring down buildings, then how much mores severe it will be for him in whose face the sparks of Hellfire will explode❓️
As Allaah تعالى mentioned:
إِنَّهَا تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ * كَأَنَّهُ جِمَالَتٌ صُفْرٌ
{Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, as if they were yellowish [black] camels.}
📚[Surah al-Mursalaat (77): 32-33]
The size of these sparks will be as huge as castles, and they would have shapes like camels.
And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that the Fire of Hell will be seventy times more severe than that the fire of earth.

They mentioned about repentance to Ibn Abbaas and he recited this Verse: ❝{And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell}❞ [Surah al-Nisaa’ (4): 93]

💠Introduction To Hisnul-Muslim
(By The Author)
Indeed, all praise is for Allaah (alone). We praise Him and seek His Help. We seek His forgiveness and we seek refuge in Him from the evil of our own souls and the evil consequences of our wicked deed. Whomever He guides shall never go astray, and whomever He allows to stray shall never find guidance. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah, alone, Who has no partner, And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. May Allaah praise him, and may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him and upon his family and his Companions and upon all those who follow them in righteousness until the Day of Judgment.
This book [1] is an abridgment of my earlier work entitled:
الذكر والدعاء والعلاج بالرقى من الكتاب والسنة
Al-Dhikr wad-Duaa wal-
Ilaaj bir-Ruqaa minal-Kitaab was-Sunnah [2]
In order to make it small and easily portable, I have chosen only the section on words of remembrance for this abridgment. To achieve this, I only mentioned the text of the words of remembrance instead of the entire Hadeeth. I also limited myself to mentioning only one or two reference from the original book for each Hadeeth. Whoever would like to know about the Companion who related a particular Hadeeth, or more information about where it is recorded, should refer to the original work [mentioned above].
I ask Allaah, the Glorious, the Mighty, by His beautiful Names and by His sublime Attributes to accept this as having been done sincerely for His sake alone. I ask Him to bring me its benefits during my lifetime and after my death. May those who read it, those who print it, or have had any role in its distribution, benefit from it also. Surely, He, the Glorified, is Capable if all things. May the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and upon his family and Companions, and whoever follows them in righteousness till the Day of Judgment.

▪ This is from the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ regarding the ethics of sitting in a gathering, that a person should not be preoccupied with something which distracts him from the gathering or his guests for a long time.

♻️The Pillars of Ibaadah are three:
ah worship Allaah based on love, hope, and fear. They pray to Allaah out of love for Him and to seek His pleasure, they abandon sins out of fear of Him and His punishment, and they repent to Him full of hope that He will accept their repentance and admit them into Jannah.
1️⃣ Love
2️⃣ Hope
3️⃣ Fear

Allaah تعالى mentions about Zakariyyah عليه السلام and his family:
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا ۖ وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ

(2) and supplicate to Us in hope (hoping for Allaah's Mercy, seeking His bounties and all the good things that are with Him)
(3) and fear (fearing His wrath and punishment, fearing the Hell-fire),
(4) and they were to Us humbly submissive.}
📚 [Surah al-Anbiyaa (21): 90]
PART #1
THE FALASTEENIANS RE-VISITNG THE PAST:
We do not praise anyone above and before Allaah, but one cannot deny the fact that our brother and sisters in Falasteen (Palestine) – their males and their females, their young and their elderly – all of them have shown and taught us how true believers live in face of calamities. They are teaching the live examples in patience and endurance. They have taught us what “accepting Allaah’s Decree and being pleased with it” means through their shouts for الحمد لله (al-hamdulillaah) even when injured, or losing a limb, or at the death of their relatives.
Allaah تعالى has made the brothers and sisters in Falasteen as means of awakening the Ummah. Through them, Allaah تعالى guided many of those who were heedless and ignorant. Through them, Allaah تعالى generated the love of Islaam in the hearts of many of those who are not Muslims.
Even though the Qur’aan was revealed 1,400 years ago, and Surah al-Ahzaab was revealed about a particular battle, yet if one re-reads the following Aayaat, one would find that our brothers and sister in Falasteen are reliving them:
وَلَمَّا رَأَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْأَحْزَابَ قَالُوا هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَصَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ۚ وَمَا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّا إِيمَانًا وَتَسْلِيمًا ﴿٢٢﴾
{And when the Believers saw Al-Ahzaab (the Confederates), they said: "This is what Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) had promised us, and Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) had spoken the truth, and it only added to their faith and to their submissiveness (to Allaah)}
مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ ۖ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا ﴿٢٣﴾
{Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allaah [i.e. they have gone out for Jihaad, and showed not their backs to the disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed [i.e. they never proved treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allaah] in the least}
لِّيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِن شَاءَ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ﴿٢٤﴾
{That Allaah may reward the men of truth for their truth (i.e. for their patience at the accomplishment of that which they covenanted with Allaah), and punish the hypocrites if He (تعالى) wills or accept their repentance (by turning to them in Mercy). Verily, Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful}

WITH SABR COMES VICTORY:
وَرَدَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا خَيْرًا ۚ وَكَفَى اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتَالَ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا ﴿٢٥﴾
{And Allaah drove back those who disbelieved in their rage, they gained no advantage (booty, etc.). And sufficient was Allaah for the believers in battle (and helped them by sending against the disbelievers a severe wind and troops of angels). And Allaah is Ever All-Strong, All-Mighty}
وَأَنزَلَ الَّذِينَ ظَاهَرُوهُم مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِن صَيَاصِيهِمْ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ فَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ وَتَأْسِرُونَ فَرِيقًا ﴿٢٦﴾
{And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers), Allaah brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives}
وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَارَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَئُوهَا ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا ﴿٢٧﴾
{And He (تعالى) caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allaah is Able to do all things}
[Surah al-Ahzaab (33): 22-27]
May Allaah forgive our brothers and sisters in Falasteen and have mercy on them!
May Allaah accept their dead among the martyrs!
May Allaah strengthen those who are alive!
May Allaah heal those who are wounded!
al-Baraa' رضي الله عنه said: I saw Allaah's Messenger ﷺ on the day (of the battle) of the Trench (al-Ahzaab) carrying earth till the hair of his chest were covered with dust. He was reciting the following poetry of `Abdullaah (Ibn Rawaahah):
"O Allaah, were it not for You, We would not have been guided...
...Nor would have we given in charity, nor would have we prayed.
So, please send tranquility upon us...
...And make our feet firm when we meet the enemy.
For indeed the enemies have rebelled against us...
...Yet if they want to put us in affliction, (i.e. want to fight against us) we would not (flee but withstand them)."
The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his voice while reciting these lines of poetry.
📚 [Saheehain]
Some people come into your life as a blessing…
While others come into your life as a lesson.
So, safeguard the blessing, and learn from the lesson.
﴿ وَلَوۡلَا دَفۡعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعۡضَهُم بِبَعۡضٍ۬ لَّفَسَدَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ ﴾
{And if Allaah did not check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief.}

Explanation Of Hisn Al-Muslim: Dhikr, Its Meaning & Types

💠 Removing the doubt: Did Abu Hurairah take knowledge from Shaitaan
🔗https://ilm4all.blogspot.com/2014/10/removing-doubts-did-abu-hurairah-take_15.html
The sweetness of `Ibaadah (worship) is felt when it is accompanied by love, hope, fear, willingness (of the body) and eagerness (of the soul) - and this helps in boosting the Imaan (Faith). Those who wake up for the night prayers are the best examples.
Otherwise, there are many who worship carelessly or out of coercion - and this may or may not help in increasing the Imaan.
💠 Hardships and means to get through them
Allaah تعالى said:
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
{We have certainly created man into hardship.}
📚[Surah al-Balad (90): 4]
🎓Al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer رحمه الله mentioned in his Tafseer:
Ibn Abi Najih and Jurayj reported from Ata, from Ibn
Abbas concerning the phrase in Kabad', "He was created while in hardship. Don't you see him'' Then he mentioned his birth and the sprouting of his teeth. Mujahid said,
id bin Jubayr said,
﴿ فِى كَبَدٍ ﴾
(in Kabad.) "A drop of sperm, then a clot, then a lump of flesh, enduring in his creation.'' Mujahid then said, "This is similar to Allah's statement,
﴿ حَمَلَتۡهُ أُمُّهُ ۥ كُرۡهً۬ا وَوَضَعَتۡهُ كُرۡهً۬اۖ ﴾
(His mother bears him with hardship. And she brings him forth with hardship.) (46:15) and she breast-feeds him with hardship, and his livelihood is a hardship. So he endures all of this.'' Sa
﴿ لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ ﴾
(Verily, We have created man in Kabad.) "In hardship and seeking livelihood.'' `Ikrimah said, "In hardship and long-suffering.'' Qatadah said, "In difficulty.'' It is reported from Al-Hasan that he said, "Enduring the hardships of the worldly life and the severity of the Hereafter.”
📚[Tafseer Ibn Katheer – Darussalam]
💢💢💢
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
{We have certainly created man into hardship.}
📚[Surah al-Balad (90): 4]
🌟Things that help one get through these difficulties:
1️⃣ Having Yaqeen
Hardship while seeking livelihood, hardship in controlling of his desires, hardship in fulfilling the Commands of Allaah, and the earth, vast as it is, becomes straitened for the person, and the horrors of the Day of Judgment.
A man is always in one of these two states:
i) If he lives long, he grieves at the loss of the loved ones,
ii) and if he does not live long, then he is grieved upon.
And while he is in between these two states, he sees the days and situations changing around him and in his family. There are days of sorrow and then there are days of happiness. The state keeps rotating, for nothing remains constant in this world. His Yaqeen increases in the statement of Allaah: {We have certainly created man into hardship}. And this boost’s and strengthens the Imaan of the Believer to be patient in his days of hardship, and to increase in acts of obedience to Allaah, and to seek Allaah’s forgiveness, and seek means to be nearer to Allaah. Sins put a distance between the Creator and the creation, and obedience brings one closer to Allaah. And hardships are a constant reminder that our stay on this earth is temporary, and that there is no relieve, and there is no rest, and there is no ultimate happiness, except in the Hereafter, after we receive the records of our deeds in our right hand, after we have crossed the bridge over the Hell-Fire and it is behind us, and after we have entered the Jannah, AND ON THE DAY WHEN WE MEET OUR LORD AND HE IS PLEASED WITH US.
There is no relief for a Believer except on the Day when he meets his Lord. Apart from this, there is no real or permanent happiness in this worldly life.
2️⃣ Avoid the death before the real death:
The second thing that help a person in getting through these difficulties is to know that what has passed you by (and you have failed to attain) was not going to befall you, and what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And as the Prophet ﷺ had said: ❝The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.❞
This does not mean that we give up hope or surrender to misery. It means that we should not grieve on what has passed, and we should not be anxious for what is to come. And if anything is bothering you, then seek Allaah’s help through Sabr (patience), Salaah (prayers), and Adhkaar (Allaah’s remembrance).
It is not from intelligence, nor from wisdom that the grief about what has passed should make a person abandon hope. Similarly, it is not from intelligence, nor from wisdom to anticipate the future and abandon worship. This is death before the real death.
6️⃣It was narrated that Abu `Imraan Al-Jawnee said: Jundab said: So and so told me that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
❝The slain will bring his killer on the Day of Resurrection (to Allaah) and will say: Ask him why he killed me. He will say: I killed him defending the kingdom of so and so.❞ Jundab said: “So be careful (what you fight for).”
📚[Sunan al-Nasa’ee (3998) and graded as “Saheeh al-Isnaad” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
🌴🌴🌴
7️⃣Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
❝Whoever attacks my Ummah (indiscriminately) killing the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his promise made with those who have been given a pledge of security - he has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him.❞
📚[Saheeh Muslim (4555)]
Never give up hope of Allaah's Mercy even if Allaah prevents from you the things that you love.
Nor be discontent with what has been Decreed for you.
Nor feel sad if something is taken away from you.
Remember, that He تعالى had said:
(وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ)
{But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you}
📚 [Surah al-Baqarah]
And He تعالى also said:
(حَتَّىٰ إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا جَاءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّيَ مَن نَّشَاءُ ۖ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ)
{[They continued] until, when the messengers despaired and were certain that they had been denied, there came to them Our victory, and whoever We willed was saved. And Our punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals.}
📚 [Surah Yusuf]
May Allaah guide us towards beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.
Indeed there is a difference between `Ilm (knowledge) and Hikmah (wisdom). Not everyone who has knowledge is guided.
A person may have knowledge, but he does what he has been prohibited from doing, and neglects what he has been commanded to do. Such a person is void of guidance.
Then there is a person who has knowledge of the Arabic language, but engages in translating fabricated and weak Ahaadeeth and spreads them amongst the masses; while leaving the many authentic Ahaadeeth which have not yet been translated. Such a person is void of wisdom.
نسأل الله العفو والعافية
🌟 When a woman is reformed, the whole house is reformed
Allaah تعالى says:
يَا نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ ۚ إِنِ اتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا ﴿٣٢﴾ وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ﴿٣٣﴾ وَاذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلَىٰ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ لَطِيفًا خَبِيرًا ﴿٣٤﴾
{O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allaah and fear Him), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery, etc.) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.
And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As-Salaah, and give Zakaah and obey Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah wishes only to remove al-Rijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet ﷺ), and to purify you with a thorough purification.
And remember (O you the members of the Prophet's family, the Graces of your Lord), that which is recited in your houses of the Verses of Allaah and Al-Hikmah (i.e. Prophet's Sunnah legal ways, etc. so give your thanks to Allaah and glorify His Praises for this Qur’aan and the Sunnah). Verily, Allaah is Ever Most Courteous, Well Acquainted with all things.}

The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝The woman is Awrah (she should be concealed and be covered up properly), for when she goes out the Shaitaan looks at her (and seeks to tempt her).❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (1173) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. See al-Saheehah (2688)]

👉 Meaning: The basic idea is to lift up the eyes to look at something. Here it is explained as meaning either that the devil makes her attractive to men, or that the Shaitaan looks at her to seduce her and to seduce people by her. The woman should veil from strangers. When she goes out uncovered, it will create problems for herself and for others.
A woman, even if she is veiled, in the mind of a man, she will still be a female; so how much more seducing she will be when she is uncovered?!
Therefore, we should remember one thing! Allaah تعالى has given her the ability to reform. And when she reforms, she can reform those around her by Allaah’s permission.
If she is reformed, then the whole house will be reformed, even if the one in charge of the house is evil like Fir`aun (Pharoah)!
And if she is corrupt, then the whole house will be corrupted, even if the one in charge of the house is a righteous person! The righteousness of her husband may not benefit her even if he were a Prophet!
Allaah تعالى says:
ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا امْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَامْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ ۖ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَقِيلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدَّاخِلِينَ
{Allaah presents an example for those who disbelieve, the wife of Nooh and the wife of Loot. They were under two of our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed their (husbands by rejecting their doctrine) so they [Nooh and Loot] did not benefit them against Allaah, and it was said: "Enter the Fire along with those who enter!"}

May Allaah feed those who are hungry and quench the thirst of those who are thirsty!
May Allaah provide shelter for those who lost their homes!
May Allaah rectify their situation and make them victorious!
May Allaah give them an upper hand over their enemies!
May Allaah humiliate the enemies of Islaam and Muslims!
May Allaah defeat the Jews and those who aid them like how He aided the Believers against the Ahzaab (the Mushriks) and the Jews that took their sides against the Believers!
May Allaah free the land of Falasteen, and Masjid al-Aqsaa especially from the occupation of the treacherous Jews, indeed they have crossed all bounds!
May Allaah unite the Muslims upon Tawheed and Sunnah, and may He unite them against their enemies!
May Allaah safeguard us against Fitan, the apparent and the hidden!
May Allaah bring back the glory and honor for Islaam and Muslims!
