Innee Abdallah إني عبد الله
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And say: 'My Rubb!
Increase me in knowledge.'' (20:114)
« لا أعلم بعد النبوة درجة أفضل من بث العلم »
"I do not know a better degree after the prophethood than broadcasting knowledge."
Operating as usual
Honestly! As bitter as it might be to listen to, not everyone who looks pious in the house is on sunnah, they havetere secrets cult. The speaker is really speaking the truth, One has to understand Tawheed in depth. "Nawāqid al-Islam".
The concept of "Nawāqid al-Islam" refers to the things that nullify one's Islam, essentially the actions or beliefs that can take a person out of the fold of Islam. This concept is discussed in several classical and contemporary Islamic texts, often focusing on matters of creed (`aqeedah`) and actions that lead to apostasy.
One of the most referenced works on this topic is the book “Nawāqid al-Islam” by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. This book outlines ten primary nullifiers of Islam, such as:
1. Associating partners with Allah (shirk).
2. Engaging in sorcery or magic.
3. Believing that guidance other than that of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is better.
4. Hating something that the Prophet brought.(Sunnah)
5. Mocking anything from the religion.
6. Supporting non-believers against Muslims in a way that shows loyalty to their cause.
These points focus on preserving the integrity of faith and avoiding actions or beliefs that contradict the core principles of Islam.
Hold on to your Salah, because if you lose that, you will lose everything...
~ Umar ibn al Khattab (ra)
Ibn 'Abbas (RA) narrated: "I was behind the Prophet (ﷺ) one day when he said: 'O boy! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah's aid. Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are dried.'"
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Book 37, Hadith 2706)
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
O community of people, who believed by their tongue, and belief did not enter their hearts!
Do not back-bite Muslims, and do not search for their faults, for if anyone searches for their faults, Allah will search for his fault, and if Allah searches for the fault of anyone, He humiliates him (even if he hides) in his house.
[Sunan Abi Dawud 4880]

The Elevated Status of the Quran: A Divine Gift to Humanity
Anything associated with the Quran is elevated by Allah. The Angel Jibril brought the Quran and thus became the best of angels. The Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (SAW), making him the best of all prophets and messengers. The Quran was revealed to the Muslims, who then became the best of nations. The Quran was revealed in Ramadan, making it the best of months, and in the Night of Laylatul Qadr, making it the best of nights.
If you are connected with the Quran, you will become the best of people. By Allah, if the Quran is part of your day, your day will be the best of days.
"Indeed, this Quran guides to that which is most just and right. And this Quran gives good news to those who believe in it and do righteous deeds, and act in accordance with it, that they shall have a great reward."
Do not overlook the Quran.
Embracing Diverse Professions in Islam: A Holistic Approach to Personal and Community Growth
Islam, as a comprehensive way of life, encourages its followers to pursue knowledge and excellence in various fields. The study of Islam is a noble and essential pursuit, providing guidance on spiritual and moral matters. However, it does not preclude specialization in other professions and skill work. Engaging in careers such as Medicine, Business, Banking and Finance, Accountancy, Law, Military, Police, Immigration, Intelligence, Cookery, Business Management, Mathematics, Science, Technology
,Engineering, Welding, Journalism, Photography, Videography, Graphic Design, Mechanics, Driving, Sharia, Farming and Agriculture, Estate Development, Building, Electrical Installation, Community Work, Gardening, Hospitality, International Relations, Diplomacy, Politics, Government, Commerce, Public Health, Market Vending, and Teaching, among others, is both encouraged and necessary for the holistic development of individuals and society.
Islamic Perspective on Professional and Skill Development
Islam places a strong emphasis on the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of society. The Qur'an and Hadith offer guidance on the importance of diverse skills and professions:
1. Pursuit of Knowledge: The Qur'an emphasizes the value of knowledge. Allah says in Surah Al-Mujadila (58:11):
> "Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees."
This verse highlights the esteemed position of knowledge seekers, irrespective of their field of study.
2. Variety in Skills and Professions: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also encouraged the acquisition of diverse skills. He said:
> "The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others." (Al-Mu'jam Al-Awsat, 5787)
To support the argument with more Islamic references, we can delve deeper into the Qur'an, Hadith, and Islamic scholarship:

Hadith
1. Encouragement of Work:
- The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "It is better for one of you to take his rope and gather firewood and carry it on his back (to earn his living) rather than to beg from someone, whether he gives him something or not." (Bukhari, 2074)
- This Hadith emphasizes the dignity of earning a living through hard work, regardless of the profession, as long as it is halal (permissible).
2. Avoidance of Haram:

Scholarly Opinions

2. Ibn Khaldun:
- Ibn Khaldun, a prominent Islamic scholar and historian, highlighted the significance of economic activities, agriculture, and craftsmanship in building a prosperous society in his seminal work "Muqaddimah."
Modern Interpretations
Contemporary Islamic scholars continue to emphasize the need for Muslims to engage in a wide range of professions:
1. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi:
- In his book "The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam," Al-Qaradawi discusses the importance of lawful earnings and the avoidance of haram, especially in business and professional practices.

IF YOU WANT ALLAH TO BLESS YOU COMMAND YOUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY TO PTAY
In Surah Taha, Allah commands believers to enjoin prayer upon their family and children
وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ
And command prayer upon your children and family and be patience on it. We ask of you no sustenance, but it is We who sustain you. The good ending is that for righteousness
(Quran 20:132)
This verse emphasizes the importance of commanding one's family to perform Salah (prayer) and assures that sustenance comes from Allah, with righteousness leading to the best outcome.
So if you want Allah to bless you please command your children and family to pray.
