*WHICH OF THE FAVOUR WILL YOU DENY*

Which of the Favours of Your Lord will you Deny?

Ibn al-Dunya mentioned that the Prophet Dawud (Alayhis-Salaam) asked Allaah; "What is the least of your blessings?.”Allaah revealed to him, "O Dawud, take a breath." Dawud did so, and Allaah told him: "That is the least of My Blessings on you.”
[Extracted from the book 'Patience and Gratitude' by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah]

In the quest of fulfilling our desires, are we overlooking and taking for granted the little blessings and favours in our life like security, fresh air, food, clean water, and good health!

Didn't the Messenger of Allaah said: "Whoever among you wakes up in the morning secured in his dwelling, healthy in his body, having his food for the day, then it is as if the world has been gathered for him." [Sahih al-Jami]

Shouldn't you reflect upon this verse,
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
“Which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?
[Surat Ar-Rahman (55:13)]

*DON'T SKIP NAWAFIL DU'HA*

May Allah accept it from you and us. Aameen

KINDLY READ AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET

*DANGER OF ASSUMPTION*
====================
A few months ago, I was invited to a programme at a school as the Guest Speaker.

When I entered the auditorium, I saw some guests I knew sitting at one corner. I went up to them and started to greet them one after the other.

I shook their hands, even with the ones I didn’t know, until I got to one guest. I didn’t know him, and when I extended my hand, he ignored it. After a few seconds, I withdrew my hand. All my thoughts were, “What arrant nonsense?” I kept asking myself that question. I felt very embarrassed and angry—embarrassed for myself and angry at the man.

What was he feeling like? I thought. All those other guests accepted my greeting, and to my knowledge, I hadn’t done anything wrong. I gave him a very scornful look, greeted the remaining guests, and went to take a seat.

Even after I sat down, I was still upset. I kept stealing glances at the guest to see how he would react to other people.

And then I saw it… He was blind! His eyes were open, but he couldn’t see at all. The other guests who came to greet him had to touch him first and then take his hand if they wanted to shake hands with him.

To my great surprise, he turned out to be my hidden protégé who deeply appreciated my lectures. I never knew he had come purposely because his wife informed him I would be the guest speaker for that year’s programme. In fact, he was waiting to hear someone mention my name so he could stand and hug me.

When I heard this, my embarrassment tripled. I felt stupid—very stupid. I was still angry, but this time, angry at myself. I couldn’t even say a word to him until I got to the podium. My speech for that programme changed from “Recovery” to “The Danger of Assumption.”

Assumption Kills Like Poison
1. We Assume Instead of Validating
• Someone doesn’t pick our calls, we assume they’re avoiding us.
• Someone doesn’t give us money, we assume they’re stingy and wicked.
• Someone doesn’t call, hang out, or visit us as they usually do, we assume they no longer care.
We never pause to consider that they might be going through challenges.

2. Life is Diverse
The issues of life are different for everyone. The person who promised you money might have encountered a financial crisis. The person who didn’t pick your call might have been in a meeting or too busy to respond.

*Key Lessons*
• Benefit of the Doubt: Make excuses for others.
• Verification Over Assumption: Always validate your thoughts before reacting.
• Immaturity Shows in Offence: Picking offence at every perceived wrong is childish and counterproductive.

*Examples:*
• Someone didn’t invite you to their wedding—you pick offence.
• They didn’t wish you a happy birthday—you pick offence.
• They didn’t like your Facebook post—you pick offence.

*Remember*
• Everyone has battles you’re unaware of.
• The people you need help from also need help themselves.
• Not everything is personal or intentional.
• Sometimes, people are just busy with their lives and struggles.

*Grow Above Offences*
• Manage disappointment and maintain relationships.
• Save yourself unnecessary grudges and preserve friendships you may need in the future.
• Learn to grow above, with, and despite offences.

*You will finish well.*

Salaam allaikum

*LONELINESS AND ISOLATION*

One of the saddest things about modern life is the utter loneliness and isolation.

People barely get married anymore, and of those who do get married, many end up divorced.

And of those who do stay married, many decide not to have kids.

And of those who do have kids, many decide to send the kids off somewhere (daycare, nursery, babysitters, schools) and go somewhere else themselves (elective job to chase dreams, etc).

At night, when finally everyone has returned home from daycare or school or work, everyone in the family is addicted to their electronics.

Kids on their tablets and adults on their phones.

We barely look up at one another to make eye contact anymore.

The family is broken, truncated, scattered.

Each individual is alone, wrapped in his or her own bubble, floating like a single atom alone through time and space.

Is it any wonder so many are depressed and anxious, adults and children alike?

We were not meant to live like this.

*🏷️ Important Reminder for All Mothers with Young Children at Home*

It is a harsh reality that many mothers, in an attempt to keep their children occupied or calm, turn to mobile phones, even when their children are very young, sometimes in the earliest stages of life. However, this practice can lead to significant long-term consequences that can harm the child’s development.

The exposure of infants and young children to mobile phones, particularly when used excessively, exposes them to inappropriate content and influences that can distort their values, thoughts, and behaviors. The overwhelming presence of mobile devices in their formative years can introduce them to environments filled with negative influences, such as violence, immorality, and unrealistic portrayals of life. This early exposure not only shapes their perceptions in a harmful way but can also foster a sense of detachment from real-world interactions and human connections.

Furthermore, constant screen exposure at such an early age can hinder the development of essential skills like attention span, communication abilities, and emotional regulation. Studies have shown that excessive screen time can also contribute to cognitive delays, poor sleep patterns, and difficulties with emotional control, which can severely affect a child's growth and academic performance later in life.

Mothers, it is essential to be mindful of the tools we provide for our children's development. While mobile devices and technology have their place in education and entertainment, they must be used with caution, especially for young children. The mind of a child is like a sponge, absorbing everything they see and hear. As caretakers, we must ensure that the content they are exposed to supports their well-being and contributes positively to their character formation.

In the spirit of nurturing and protecting your children, I urge you to consider the impact of early exposure to mobile phones. Prioritize interactive, nurturing activities that promote healthy social, cognitive, and emotional development. Your children’s future is shaped by the choices you make today. Let’s protect them from distractions and dangers that might hinder their true potential.

Assalamualaikum warahamatullah wabarakatuh

*MARRIED COUPLES COUNSELING*

The word DIVORCE.. is not something couples should joke with especially the husband. Most couples have ended their marriage long time but they don't know.. they are committing adultery thinking they are married couples.

And some words are not good to use as a couple no matter how hurt you are, if only you love your partner.. learn how to control your heart.

🔷A man divorced his wife 3 times.. so she was packing her things to her father's house and the husband realized the action he took was not good, so he beg her to forgive him and stay.

If it was you and I, we will forgive the man and stay.. but the wife told him, she was raised in an Islamic home.. she can't stay because there is no marriage between them again.. the wife went to her father's house, despite the love she has for him.. she can't disobey Allah.

She has to marry another man and if the man divorce her, then her ex husband can have her back.

NB: we don't joke with Divorce.

On the day of judgement you will be questioned for everything You've done.

Do you not know the fact that you will be questioned for what you used to do?

Now Let’s Imagine Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala saying this to you
You are the one who used to listen to music, you are the one who used to make videos using music promoting it to thousands of people, you are the one who used to share video which has music in it even though you knew I made it haram for you.

Don't u know that Allah is watching you? And angels are recording sins for you while u are busy listing to music?

Don't u know that whoever listens to a music that was shared by u, sins would be recorded for u even after your death.

Don't u know u would be severely dealt with in ur graves if u die without repenting?

Aren't you Afraid of Allah's torment?

If u were to put just a finger of yours into the fire of this world, how would u feel?
U would definitely feel a severe pain in which u won't even want to wish it on your enemy.

So what makes u think you can survive the punishment of Hell whose fire is thousands times hotter than the one in this world?

Do not let the Shaytaan deceive u ohh brothers and sisters in Islam.

Repent sincerely to Allah and stop that act before death strikes.

Do not procrastinate in doing so cause u do not have the guarantee of seeing tomorrow.

May Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala continue to guide and forgive us.

And again listing to Islamic songs that contains musical instruments are totally prohibited.

Thursday Sunnah fasting Reminder, Remind others to also fast for more blessings.

The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."
Qur'an: 2-285

*THE PROHIBITION OF JOINING ATHEIST SECTS AND IGNORANT PARTIES*
➖➖➖
*EPISODE 2️⃣*
➖➖➖
Joining the parties of ignorance and racist nationalism constitutes apostasy too, for Islam rejects racism and nationalism, and other schisms of ignorance.
Allāh (ﷻ) says:

Translation of the meaning
“O mankind! We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily, the most honorable among you in the sight of Allāh is he who is the most righteous among you.”

[Al-Hujuraat 49:13]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“He who promotes nationalism is not one of us, neither the one who fights for the sake of nationalism, nor the one who is passionate for nationalism.”

(Saheeh Muslim 1513)

He (ﷺ) also said:

“Allāh has removed from you the zeal of ignorance, and the boasting of family lineage. People are either a pious believer, or a miserable impious. Mankind are the sons of Adam, and Adam is created from soil. No preference of an Arab over non Arab except by righteousness.”

(At-Tirmidhi 3955)

Such partisanships divide Muslims, while Allāh (ﷻ) commands them to unite, and help one another in causes of good deeds and righteousness, and He (ﷻ) forbids division and discord.

Allāh, Glory be to Him, wants us to be one party, that is, the prosperous party of Allāh (ﷻ). But the Muslim world has succumbed to blood ties, citizenship and nationalism and believe in it as an established fact, and inescapable reality after Europe raided it politically and culturally. Its people rush frantically to revive such schisms which Islam squashed. They revived its slogans, praising them and taking pride in its era, which preceded Islam; an era which Islam insists on calling it ignorance.

Allāh (ﷻ) has favored the Muslims by relieving them from such schisms and encouraged them to be grateful for such grace. It is natural for a believer to mention a thing which is related to ignorance whether it belonged to an age far or near from Islam, with resentment, hatred, and repulsion. Would a tortured prisoner who is released remember the days of incarceration torture and humiliation without shuddering, or would the recuperating person who suffered longterm ailment remember those days without turning pail? It should be known that such partisanships are only a torment to which Allāh (ﷻ) subjects those who turn away from His laws and rejects His deen.

Allāh (ﷻ) says:

Translation of the meaning.
“Say, 'He has power to send punishment upon you from above you, or from beneath your feet, or to confound you by splitting you into sects and make you taste the violence of one another.”

[Al-An'am 6:65]

See how Allāh (ﷻ) expounds the signs in various ways that they may understand. Zeal for partisanship causes rejecting the truth which is in the hands of the others. Such as the Jews who refused the truth as Allāh (ﷻ) describes them saying:

Translation of the meaning
“And when it is said to them: 'Believe in what Allāh has sent down,' they say: 'We believe in what was sent down to us;' and they disbelieve in what was sent down after that, yet is the Truth, fulfilling that which is with them.”

[Al-Baqarah 2:91]

Their case is similar to the case of the people of Ignorance (the pagans) who rejected the truth which was brought to them by the Messenger of Allāh (ﷻ) out of their passionate adherence to their forefathers, The Partisan zealots want to make their partisanships as a substitute to Islam with which Allāh (ﷻ) has favored mankind.

May Allāh (ﷻ) make it easy for us to understand and follow His religion.

*THE PROHIBITION OF JOINING ATHEIST SECTS AND IGNORANT PARTIES*
➖➖➖
*EPISODE 1️⃣*
➖➖➖
Joining atheist sects and groups like Communism, Secularism, Capitalism, and other forms of disbelief is considered apostasy. For a person who claims to be a Muslim to associate with such groups would indicate grave hypocrisy. These hypocrites portray themselves as Muslims publicly, while harbouring disbelief in their hearts, as Allāh (ﷻ) describes them:

Translation of the meaning
“And when they meet those who believe, they say: 'We believe;' but when they are alone with their leaders, they say: 'We are certainly with you; we are only mocking."

[Al-Baqarah 2:14]

These deceitful hypocrites have dual faces—one to face the believers and another to face their atheist companions. They possess two tongues—one for the Muslims and another to convey their true intentions. Allāh (ﷻ) states:

Translation of the meaning
“Those (hypocrites) who wait and watch about you; if you gain a victory from Allāh, they say: 'Were we not with you?' But if the disbelievers gain success, they say (to them): 'Did we not gain mastery over you and did we not protect you from the believers?' Allāh will judge between you (all) on the Day of Resurrection. And never will Allāh grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers."

[An-Nisa' 4:141]

They turn away from the Book and the Sunnah, mocking those who adhere to these divine sources of guidance. They refuse to submit themselves to the revealed knowledge, indulging in their delusions and increasing in evil and arrogance as Allāh (ﷻ) said in Al-Baqarah 2:14 above. .

Furthermore, Allāh (ﷻ) says:

Translation of the meaning
“Allāh mocks them, and increases their deviation to wander blindly."

[Al-Baqarah 2:15]

Allāh (ﷻ) commands His slaves to adhere to the company of the truthful:

Translation of the meaning
“O you who believe, fear Allāh and be with the truthful."

[At-Taubah 9:119]

These atheist sects contradict one another as they are founded on falsehood. Communism denies the existence of the Creator and opposes heavenly religions. Those who live without a creed and deny established truths lack rationality. Secularism, on the other hand, embraces materialism, viewing life as merely animalistic existence. Capitalism's primary objective is the accumulation of wealth, regardless of means, unbound by lawful or merciful considerations for the poor and needy. Its economic foundations rest upon usury, which opposes Allāh (ﷻ) and His Messenger (ﷺ), leading to the destruction of both nations and individuals and draining the resources of impoverished nations.

No rational person, let alone a believer, would willingly subject themselves to systems lacking reason, religion, and a clear purpose in life. These ideologies have infiltrated Muslim countries, resulting in the loss of many who have strayed from the true faith and grown up under the influence of such ideologies.

To be continued, إن شاء الله.

May Allāh (ﷻ) make us steadfast in His religion.

*TAWHEED AND ISTIGHFAAR*

🌿Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah [رحمه الله] said:

❝The state and matter of Istighfaar amongst the people of Tawheed and its connection with the testimony of La ilaha ila Allaah is firmly established.

From the first of them until the last of them and from the last of them to the first of them. From high to low.

The comprehensiveness of the state and matter of Tawheed and Istighfaar applies to all of the creation and they in relation to these situations are of different grades to Allaah. Every person having a grade which is known.

Therefore, the testimony of La ilaha ila Allaah [none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah] with truthfulness and certainty eliminates all of Shirk, a small and a large amount, that which is done mistakenly and intentionally, the first of it and the last of it, that done secretly and openly. That which appears upon all of its characteristics, that which it hides and its intricate details.

Istighfaar wipes out that which remains from its affects, it wipes out sin which is from the branches of Shirk. Indeed all sins are from the branches of Shirk.

So Tawheed eliminates the foundation of Shirk, and Istighfaar wipes out its branches.

*«فأبلغ الثناء قول: لا إله إلا الله.»*

The most expressive praise is the statement of La ilaha ila Allaah.

*«وأبلغ الدعاء قول: أستغفر الله.»*

The most expressive of Dua is the statement of Astaghfirullaah [I seek forgiveness from Allaah].❞
