The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

“Whoever performs ablution (wudū) perfectly, as ordained by Allāh, the Exalted, the obligatory prayers will serve as an expiation for the sins committed between them.“

📓-[Reported by Muslim]

[haqqahreminders]

ومن تمام حُسْنِ الظَّنِّ باللهِ أنْ يستقرَّ في قلبِكَ أنَّه لا خيرَ لكَ في شيءٍ مُنِعْتَ عنه، وأنَّ رحمةَ اللهِ بالحِرمان لا تقِلُّ عن رحمته بالعطاء

Among the perfection of having a good opinion of Allāh is to firmly believe in your heart that there is no good for you in anything you are deprived of, and that Allāh's mercy in withholding is no less than His mercy in granting.

[haqqahreminders]

مع الوقت ستعرف حكمة اللّٰه في كل ما حدث لك

With time, you will come to know the wisdom of Allah in everything that has happened to you

ستعرف أنه كان أرحم بك من نفسك

You will come to realise that He has been more merciful to you than your own self.

Al Wadood🤎

Ibn Taymiyyah رَحِمَهُ الله said:

If Allah wills goodness for a servant,He inspires him to pray to Him (du’a) and seek His help; making it (his du’a and reliance upon Him) the means through which the good he has decreed for him (to come to pass).

📓-[Iqtida al-Sirat al-Mustaqim, 2/229, Maktabah Shamela Version]

[haqqahreminders]

سيأتي على قلبك فترة أثقل مِن الجبال، ليس لتكتئب، بل لتَسجُد وتقترب.

‎A time will come upon your heart that is heavier than mountains, not to make you depressed, but to make you prostrate and draw nearer.

Allāh Protects His Believing Servants From The Trials Of This World And The Hereafter

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن الله تعالى ليحمي عبده المؤمن من الدنيا وهو يحبه ، كما تحمون مريضكم الطعام والشراب تخافون عليه

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

“Verily Allāh Ta'ālā protects His believing servant from the (wealth and share) of the Dunyā out of His love for him just like you protect your sick from (too much) food and drink out of fear (of harm) for him.”

Concerning the ayah:

إِنَّ الْحَسَنَتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ

Indeed, good deeds erase bad deeds — [Sūrah Hūd, 114]

The great Imām Ata bin Yasar said concerning the ayah:

“Among the good deeds are:

Subhan Allāh,

Alhamdulillāh,

La ilaha illa Allāh ,

Allāhu Akbar and

La hawla wa la quwwata illāh bi-llāh

and these are the everlasting good deeds.”

The virtue of Dhikr!

Some poor people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:

“The wealthy people will get higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment, and they offer prayer like us and observe fast as we do. They have more money by which they perform the Hajj and Umrah, fight and struggle in Allāh's Cause and give in charity.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Shall I not tell you a thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the same.

Say Subhan Allāh, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar 33x each after every (compulsory) prayer.”

📓— [Sahih Bukhari 843 | Sahih Muslim 595 & 1347]

A righteous woman (wife) does not come due to your efforts rather she is a provision (gift) that is handed over to the one who fears his Lord.

📓-[Ahkām al-Qur’ān, 1/536]

[haqqahreminders]

Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) says:

{أَنِ ٱشۡكُرۡ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَيۡكَ}

“give thanks to Me and to your parents.”

The Sound Of The Qur’aan vs The Sound of Music

Ibn al-Qayyim رَحِمَهُ الله said:

The sound of the Qur’aan: soothes souls, gives them tranquillity and causes them to be calm…

The sound of music: causes the souls to become instigated, excited and causes it unease and causes it to become disturbed and agitated.

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Nāṣir al-Siʿdī رَحِمَهُ الله said:

In marriage one feels unparalleled joy. In marriage there is a special type of mercy that you won't find elsewhere.

📓— [Taysir al-Karīm al-Rahman]

[haqqahreminders]

Ibn al-Qayyim رَحِمَهُ الله said:

One of the means of finding tranquillity is to always remember Him (do continuous Dhikr) in all situations and in all places, for Dhikr has an amazing impact in bringing tranquillity and a sense of joy (to the heart), and neglecting it has a great impact in causing a sense of distress, anxiety and pain.
