Hadith
Assalamualaikum everyone, please take note of this hadeeth…
It was narrated that Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
I said: O Messenger of Allah, I send a great deal of blessings upon you; how much of my du‘aa’ should be sending blessings upon you? He said: “Whatever you wish.” I said: One quarter? He said: “Whatever you wish, and if you do more, that will be better for you.” I said: One half? He said: “Whatever you wish and if you do more, that will be better for you.” I said: Two thirds? He said: “Whatever you wish and if you do more, that will be better for you.” I said: I will make all of my du‘aa’ for you. He said: “Then your concerns will be taken care of and your sins will be forgiven.”

The 5 characteristics of the Adult saint
Imam asSuyooti (may Allah shower His mercy upon him) mentioned that there are 5
characteristics found in children; that if present in adults; would make them (the adults) saints.
The 5 special characteristics of children that adults should adopt are as follows:
1. They do not worry about their provisions (sustenance).
2. When sick; they do not complain about their Creator.
3. They eat their meals as a group (not alone).
4. When they are in fear; their eyes flow with tears.
5. When they quarrel; they rush to make peace.

Description of Jannah…
“And if you ask about its rivers, then there are rivers of milk who’s taste does not change, and rivers of wine that is delicious to those who drink it, and rivers of honey that is pure, and rivers of water that is fresh.”
Shaikh Sajid Umar
The Ant’s Rule Book of Life.
There is a reason an entire Surah in the Qur’an has been named after the ant! Subhanallah.
Shaikh Sajid Umar
Beware Of The Hardened Heart
“The slave is not afflicted with a punishment greater than the hardening of the heart and being distant from Allah. For the Fire was created to melt the hardened heart. The most distant heart from Allah is the heart which is hardened. If the heart becomes hardened, the eye becomes dry.” Ibn Al-Qayyim
Shaikh Sajid Umar
When Fitan Strikes
When fitan strikes; the true character and values that people possess become manifest. When you being attacked; don’t be surprised if some of the closest to you will choose to sit on the fence, or even side with the fitan & throw you under the bus, in order to protect themselves.
Being principled is a virtue, and we sadly live in an age of decreasing virtues…
Irrespective; we make note of the realities, never lose hope, and never let the values of others define who we are.
May Allah grant us all better than we dream in both worlds. Ameen.
Shaikh Sajid Umar
Parenting tip…
Parenting advice.
In my time working with parents & children, I’ve come to realise & learn that the transfer of *trust* creates value in our parenting abilities.
Make your children trust you, and I mean really trust you; and *value* will be born in your relationship with them.
Think of adding *value* to their lives before *possessions* and you will begin to raise leaders, instead of children.
May Allah bless us and bless our children. Ameen.

Sajid Umar
