Fact-Check: Reports on social media claiming Saudi Arabia has banned all photography inside Masjid al Haram and the Masjid an Nabawi for next year's Hajj are false. No official source has announced such a policy.

"Do they not look at the camel – how it has been created?"
(Surah Al-Ghashiyah 88:17

The Camel – An Astonishing Creature

Ability to Drink Both Fresh and Salty Water:

A camel's kidneys filter out excess salt from salty water, making it drinkable. The extra salt is then expelled through urine.

Eating Thorny Bushes Without Harm:

A camel’s saliva is thick and has special properties that help soften thorns. Additionally, its lips and the inner structure of its mouth are tough and strong, allowing it to chew thorny plants with ease.

Protective Double Eyelids:

Camels have two layers of eyelids—one thin and transparent, the other thick and fleshy. During sandstorms, a camel closes its transparent eyelids to prevent sand from entering its eyes while still being able to see. Its long and dense eyelashes also protect the eyes from dust and sand.

Ability to Control Body Temperature:

A camel can regulate its body temperature according to its needs, increasing or decreasing it as required.

This is why the Qur’an states:
"Do they not look at the camel – how it has been created?"
(Surah Al-Ghashiyah 88:17)

SubhanAllah! What an incredible design, and what a magnificent Creator!

*What’s the difference between Maghfirah (مغفرة ) and 'Afuw (عفو )?*

*Maghfirah*: is for Allah to forgive you for the sin but the sin will still be registered on your book of deeds. Maghfirah is Allah’s forgiveness for your sin but on the Judgment Day it will be written on your record, Allah will ask you about it but HE won’t punish you because of it

*'Afuw*: is for Allah to forgive you for the sin and delete it from your book of deeds as if it did not happen. ‘Afuw is Allah’s pardon for your sin, it will be completely erased from your record and Allah won’t ask you about it on Judgement day

*This is why our Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that, this is the best Duaa to make on Laylatul Qadr:*

*"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee"*
(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi)

*O Allah, You are The One Who pardons greatly, and You love to pardon, so pardon me.)"*

So make sure you read this dua all the time and as much as you can. Make it one of your daily athkaar.
Imagine that you are standing on the day of Judgment being held accountable for your deeds, and you're not guaranteed your entry to Jannah.

*Suddenly you find that you have mountains of Hasanat (rewards) in your record*

Do you know from where these mountains of rewards come from?

Because in the Dunya you kept saying : *”SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi SubhanAllah al ‘Adhim”*

_Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:_ *"Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, they are loved by Al Rahman, (The Most Merciful. One):*
سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ الْعَظِيمِ - *SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi, Subhan-Allahi 'l-`adheem (Glory be to Allah, and Praise, Glory be to Allah, the Supreme)"*
(📚Bukhari , Muslim)

Can you imagine how much your reward will be multiplied if you share this information about the virtue of this remembrance with your friends and they keep saying it *(SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi SubhanAllah Al Adheem)* because you guided them to do good?

*Be the One Who Guides Others to Good Deeds.*

Allah will test you in 3 ways :

1. Allah will give you what you want immediately & test your "GRATITUDE"

2. Allah will give you what you want with a little delay & tests your "PATIENCE"

3. Allah doesn't give you what you want & tests your "FAITH"

Ramadan Day 21

Be kind, or remain silent. We are evil if we judge people on things they have no control over such as; height, nose, lips, stutter, weight, illness or disability. We have no idea what people are going through or have gone through. Before we mock someone.
We have remind ourself of this verse:" Laqad khalaqnal insaana fee ahsani taqweem.

" Verily, We created man of the best stature (mould),
[ Qur'an - 95:4 ]

Mocking the creation is indirectly mocking the creator.
May Allah SWT forgive us all.

Istighfār (seeking forgiveness) before dawn is better (than at other times):

{ وَبِالأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ }
“And in the hours before dawn they would seek forgiveness.” [Al-Dhāriyāt 51:18]

As for tasbīḥ (glorifying Allah), its virtue is equal in both night and day:

{ فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ }
“So glorify Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning.” [Al-Rūm 30:17]

الاستغفار بالأسحار أفضل الأذكار (وبالأسحار هم يستغفرون) وأما التسبيح فيستوي فضله ليلاً ونهاراً (فسبحان الله حين تمسون وحين تصبحون)

When your heart feels restless, remember that; verily in the remembrance of Allah, do heart's find peace.”

Each day, each one of us can make a real difference in someone else's life with our good intentions and kindness...
It doesn't take much more than your effort of encouragement, positivity, patience, and understanding. So simple yet meaningful and effective...
So go on and be the light that shines and lifts someone up...
