-13- The Way to Happiness. الطريق إلى السعادة. ▫️▫️▫️

​"There is a hidden blessing called: 'Outside the Realm of Competition.' It means living without being consumed by proving anything to anyone; you simply don't care to look the prettiest, the wealthiest, or the luckiest. You remain content with the blessings Allah has bestowed upon you, striving only to be better than who you were yesterday—not better than others. ​For when you step outside the realm of competition, you enter the circle of tranquility. True happiness is not born from outshining others, but from contentment with what Allah has decreed for you."

A man once asked the Salaf: “How much Qur’an should we read?” He replied: “Equivalent to the amount of happiness you are looking for.” Majmu al- Fatawa (7/493) 🤍

•• ​«ليبلغَنَّ هذا الأمرُ ما بلغَ الليلُ والنهارُ ولا يتركُ اللهُ بيتَ مدرٍ ولا وبرٍ إلا أدخله اللهُ هذا الدينَ بعزِّ عزيزٍ أو بذلِّ ذليلٍ عزًّا يعزُّ اللهُ به الإسلامَ وأهلَه وذلاً يذلُّ اللهُ به الكفرَ» ​ ​"This matter (Islam) will surely reach as far as the night and the day reach. Allah will not leave a house of clay or hair [i.e., urban or rural] except that He will cause this religion to enter it, with the honor of the honorable or the humiliation of the humbled—an honor by which Allah honors Islam and its people, and a humiliation by which Allah humbles disbelief." SubhanAllah 🤍

A bedouin asked Imam al-Sha'bi, "Did Iblis have a wife?" al-Sha'bi said, "Yes. The bedouin asked, "What is the proof for that?" al-Sha'bi said, "It is Allah's statement: "Do you take him and his offspring as allies besides Me?" [al-Kahf 50]" The bedouin asked, "What is her name?" al-Sha'bi replied, "That is one wedding I wasn't present for!" [Siyar A'lam al-Nubala' 4/312]

A Muslim reflects upon Allah’s wonderful creation and how He makes things easy for His servants, one aspect of which is the care all creatures give to their young until they grow up and become self-reliant. Glory be to the One Who created them and showed kindness to them as He provided them with that kind of help despite their total powerlessness.

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا﴾ : - يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك أستغيث Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, birahmatika astagheeth O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help - رب اغفر لي Rabbi ighfir li My Lord, forgive me - اللهم اهدني وسددني Allahumma ihdini wa saddidni O Allah, guide me and make my path straight - اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min al-hammi wal-hazan O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and sorrow - اللهم إني أسألك العفو والعافية Allahumma inni as'aluka al-'afwa wal-'afiyah O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being - اللهم ثبت قلبي على دينك Allahumma thabbit qalbi 'ala deenik O Allah, make my heart firm upon Your religion - اللهم إني أعوذ بك من شر نفسي Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min sharri nafsi O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul ..

"There is no power and no strength except with Allah"- it is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise..! Makhoul said: Whoever says: “La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, wa la manja min Allahi illa ilayh” لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ مَنْجَى مِنَ اللهِ إِلاَّ إِلَيْهِ “There is no power and no strength except with Allah, and there is no escape from Allah except to Him” -Allah will remove from him seventy doors of harm, the least of which is poverty. [Narrated by At-Tirmidhi]

Bakr ibn ‘Abdullāh al-Muzanī (رحمه الله) said: رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ قُوَّةً فَأَعْمَلَ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ، أَوْ قَصَرَ بِهِ ضَعْفٌ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ فِي مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ “May Allah have mercy on a servant whom Allah has blessed with strength, so he uses it in obedience to Allah; or if weakness prevents him from doing much, he does not use it in disobedience to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.” Al-Zuhd by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (1833)

مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ وَمَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلاَّ حَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever relieves a Muslim of some worldly distress, Allah will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will conceal him (his faults) in this world and the Day of Resurrection. And whoever relives the burden from a destitute person, Allah will relieve him in this world and the next. Allah will help His slave so long as His slave helps his brother. Whoever follows a path in pursuit of knowledge, Allah will make easy fro him a path to paradise. No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and teaching it to one another, but the angels will surround them, tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will envelop them and Allah will mention them to those who are with Him. And whoever is hindered because of his bad deeds, his lineage will be of no avail to him.'  Grade: Sahih (Darussalam) Reference : Sunan Ibn Majah 225

لا تدري هذه التأخيرات المكتوبه ماذا تُخبي لك من الأقدار ، لا تدري ما الحكمة الإلآهيةُ منها، علاوةً على انها خِيره ، هي ايضًا تحمل تباشير مُبهجه... You do not know what these written delays are hiding for you in terms of destiny. You do not know the divine wisdom behind them. Besides being a blessing, they also carry joyful tidings. لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ - do not despair of Allah’s mercy,

لا اله الا الله...
