Don’t do things to be famous, rather do things that bring about diligent value to your life and the lives of others around you.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allah loves the servant who is pious, independent (of others) and hidden (from the people).”
Reported by Imam Muslim from the hadeeth of Aamir bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him).

These 3 images prove that it isn’t necessary to verbally command action, for it is in your actions, that those under your care will be lead!
Act now, for no matter who you are; there are those waiting for you to lead!
Al-Hasan al-Basri رحمه الله said,
‘Indeed those who came before you saw the Qur’an as personal letters from their Lord. So they would ponder over it by night and yearn for it by day.’

A pertinent message I received today, along with the attached picture….
…
These sheets of cloths are shrouds (Kafan) that people used to bring to Makkah to wash with Zamzam, and then leave it to dry in the sun.
It’s seldom practised today, but we’ve heard many stories of how back in time people used to acquire their own
shroud/kafan,
store it in a particular place and emphasize it often to their family!
It’s a reminder that we all have to live our best, prepare for a time when we will no longer be here, and hope to achieve a Husn al-Khatima –
a good end at the time of death. Ameen.

“If your intention is one of these three, do not seek knowledge: To shame the ignorant, or to argue with the Fuqahaa’ (scholars), or to cause people to turn their faces in your direction. Intend with your actions and words that which is with Allaah, for indeed that which is with Allaah shall remain and everything else shall perish.”
Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him).

Don’t just look at the sun and the moon. Rather keep moving as they both do, for in ACTION do our dreams evolve into REALITIES.
Shaikh Sajid Umar
Money is supposed to be kept in the sun so that you can be in the shade…
Ponder over the above statement…
Today, unfortunately, we see some people hold so tight onto their money that they would rather keep it in their pocket than buy the essentials required to boost the quality of their lives!
They would rather honour their money than honour themselves!
Money is a means to many things; one of them being a more convinient life.
Buy what you need, don’t be extravagant, and don’t keep your money in the shade at the expense of your life in the sun!
May Allah bless us all and our wealth. Ameen.
Your brother,
Sajid Umar
I dream of children growing up to be great men and women, not worthless beings.
Which trajectory are you or your children upon?
Ponder over this…
In one of the houses of Madinah, ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allaah be pleased with him, was sitting with a group of his companions. He asked them: “Make a wish”, one of them said, “I wish to have as much gold as would fill this whole house, so that I could spend it in Allah’s way”; then again ‘Umar asked: “Make a wish”, another man said, “I wished that this house was full of jewels and pearls so that I could spend it all in Allah’s way and charity for the sake of Allaah”; ‘Umar asked for the third time: “Make a wish”, his companions said: “We don’t know what to say, O leader of the believers”; Thereupon ‘Umar said, “I wish that this house was full of men like Abu ‘Ubaydah Ibn Al-Jarraah, Mu’aadh bin Jabal and Saalim who works for Abu Hudhayfah, in order to use them to spread the word of Allaah”.
There is a reason an entire Surah in the Qur’an has been named after the ant! Subhanallah.

Assalamualaikum everyone. I share with you a narration of hope and motivation!
May Allah Almighty accept the Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam’s) dua for us and gather us with Him in Alfirdaus. Ameen!
A’ishah (radi Allahu anha) narrated “Once, when I saw the Prophet in a good mood, I said to him: “O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah for me!” So, he said: “O Allah! Forgive ‘A’ishah her past and future sins, what she has hidden, as well as what she has made apparent.” So, I began smiling, to the point that my head fell into the lap of the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa salam) out of joy. The Messenger of Allah said to me: “Does my supplication make you happy?” I replied: “And how can your supplication not make me happy?” He then said: “By Allah, it is the supplication that I make for my Ummah in every prayer.”
(This narration was considered as authentic by Sh. AlAlbaani (may Allah shower His mercy. Upon him)
