Back in Al-Madiinah, the Prophet (PBUH) was talking peacefully and contentedly with his Companions when he suddenly stopped talking. He closed his eyes a little, then opened them. A gleam flashed from them, yet it was tinged with sadness and compassion. He looked around sadly and said, "Zaid took the standard and fought until he was martyred." He was silent for a while, then continued, "Ja'far grasped it and fought until he was martyred. Then 'Abd Allah Ibn Rawaahah grasped it and fought until he was martyred." He was silent for a while, then his eyes sparkled with elation, tranquility, longing, and joy as he said, "They were all raised to Paradise." What a glorious journey it must have been! What a happy succession! They all marched to conquer; they all were raised up to Paradise. The best salute to immortalize their memory rests in the Prophet's words: "They were raised up to await me in Paradise." 🔠🔡 🔠🔡  🔠🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔣🔣

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄'🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Do you ever catch yourself explaining a decision nobody even questioned? You say no, then immediately give five reasons why. You share an opinion, then add disclaimers just in case someone takes it the wrong way. You prepare your defence before anyone has even accused you of anything. Sometimes that habit started much earlier than you realise. Maybe your words were constantly twisted, your intentions were questioned, or you had to explain yourself just to avoid conflict. Eventually, overexplaining became something you did automatically. But you don’t have to carry that into every conversation. There are people who will hear what you said without searching for another meaning. There are people who won’t require a full explanation every time you make a choice. Islam teaches us sincerity and clarity in our words. You can speak with both without constantly trying to control how everyone interprets you. Say what you mean with kindness. Explain when an explanation is genuinely needed. And slowly become comfortable with letting a simple answer remain simple. “ليس عليك أن تبرر كل اختيار حتى يكون مقبولًا.” “You don’t have to justify every choice for it to be accepted.”

The first commander, Zaid Ibn Haarithah, was struck down, winning glorious martyrdom. The second in command was Ja'far Ibn Abi Taalib, who was overjoyed to be martyred. Abd Allah took over the command and grabbed the standard from Ja'far's failing arms. The fight reached the peak of ferocity. The smaller army was indistinct amidst the waves of the mighty hosts of Heraclius. When Ibn Rawaahah was a soldier, he attacked heedlessly and confidently. But now the command placed great responsibilities for the army's safety on his shoulders. It seemed that, for a moment, he was overtaken by hesitation and dread, yet he instantly shook off those apprehensions, summoned his innate fearlessness, and cried out, "O my soul, you look as if you were afraid to cross the way that leads to Paradise. O my soul, I took an oath to fight. O my soul, death is inevitable, so you had better be martyred. Now I will experience the inevitability of death. What you have cared for so long is finally yours. So go ahead, for if you follow these two heroes, you will be guided to the way of Paradise." He meant the two heroes who had preceded him in martyrdom, Zaid and Ja'far. He darted into the Roman armies, fiercely and ruthlessly. Were it not for a previous ordainment from Allah that he was to be martyred on that day, he would have annihilated the fighting hosts. But destiny called, and he was martyred. His body was struck down, yet his pure, valiant spirit was raised to the heavens. His most precious wish finally came true, so that, "When people pass by my grave, they will say: By Allah, you are the most righteous warrior." 🔠🔡 🔠🔡  🔠🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔣🔣

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄'🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 I’m going to ask you something I’m pretty sure you’ve never asked yourself before. Have you ever stopped in the middle of being angry and asked yourself what you’re actually hurt about? Sometimes anger is carrying something much deeper. The relationship you thought would last. The apology you never received. The version of your life you thought you’d have by now. The disappointment you kept telling yourself wasn’t a big deal. When sadness has nowhere to go, it can start showing up differently. And Islam gives us permission to grieve. The Prophet SAW cried through loss while remaining deeply anchored in Allah. Feeling grief never took away from his strength or his faith. So the next time your anger feels heavier than the situation in front of you, sit with it for a moment and ask: “What am I actually grieving?” You might find that your heart has been trying to mourn something you never gave it permission to feel.

His perpetual slogan was these lines of poetry: “O my soul, death is inevitable, so it is better for you to be martyred.” He shouted at the disbelievers in every battle, “O disbelievers, get out of my way. My Prophet (PBUH) has all the excellent qualities.” The Battle of Mu’tah started, and, as we have mentioned, he was the third of the commanders after Zaid and Ja‘far. Ibn Rawaahah (May Allah be pleased with him) stood there as the army was about to leave Al-Madiinah and recited: “I truly ask the Most Beneficent’s forgiveness and a mortal stroke of a sword that will strike me down, foaming, or a mortal stab with a spear by a stubborn disbeliever that will make my liver and intestines show out of my body, so that when people pass by my grave, they will say: ‘By Allah, you are the most righteous warrior.’” Indeed, a stroke or a stab that would convey him into the world of rewarded martyrs was his utmost wish. The army marched towards Mu’tah. When the Muslims saw their enemies, they estimated them at 200,000, for they saw endless waves of warriors. The Muslims glanced back at their small group and were stunned. Some of them suggested, “Let us send a message to the Prophet (PBUH) to tell him of the enormity of the enemy that surpassed all our expectations, so he will either order us to wait for reinforcements or to pierce through the enemy lines.” However, Ibn Rawaahah stood amidst the lines of the army and said: “O my people, by Allah, we do not fight our enemies with numbers, strength, or equipment, but rather with this religion which Allah has honored us with. So go right ahead: it is either one of two equally good options, victory or martyrdom.” The Muslims, who were lesser in number and greater in faith, cried out, “By Allah, you spoke the truth.” The smaller army broke through the mighty host of 200,000 warriors in terrible and cruel fighting. 🔠🔡 🔠🔡  🔠🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔣🔣

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄'🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 What if your inner child doesn’t need more love from you? What if they need to finally feel safe? A child can grow up knowing they’re loved and still spend years watching people’s moods, preparing for reactions, or wondering when something will suddenly change. That child grows up, but those habits can stay. You still brace yourself when someone’s tone changes. You struggle to relax when everything is going well. You expect good things to suddenly disappear. Healing your inner child means slowly giving them what they couldn’t rely on before: consistency, stability, honesty, and a safe place to land. Show up for yourself consistently. Keep the promises you make to yourself. Build a life where peace doesn’t constantly feel like it’s about to be taken away. And let your relationship with Allah become the anchor underneath it all, the One your heart can always return to. Your inner child doesn’t only need to hear, “You are loved.” Sometimes they need to hear: “You’re safe now. You don’t have to keep preparing for what comes next.”

'Abd Allah answered, "First I think about its subject matter, then I recite." He immediately recited: O the good descendants of Al-Haashim, Allah raised you to a high station Of which you are worthy above all mankind. My intuition made me realize at once Your excelling nature, Contrary to the disbelievers' belief in you. If you asked some of them for support and help, They would turn you down. May Allah establish the good that descends On you firmly And bestow victory upon you as He did to Muusaa. The Prophet (PBUH) was elated and said, "I hope that Allah will make your feet firm, too." When the Prophet was circumambulating the Ka'bah during the compensatory 'Umrah, Ibn Rawaahah recited to him: Were it not for Allah, we would not have been Guided to the Right Path, nor charitable, Nor able to perform our prayers. So descend, peace of mind and reassurance, On us and establish our feet firmly When we meet our enemy In combat. If our oppressors tried to spread Affliction and trial, unrest, among us, We will not give them way. Muslims reiterated his graceful lines. The active poet was saddened when the glorious verse descended, saying: ﴿وَٱلشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُونَ ۝٢٢٤﴾ “As for poets, they are followed ˹merely˺ by deviants.” (Ash-Shu'araa' 26:224) But soon he was contented to hear another verse saying: ﴿إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْ ۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ ۝٢٢٧﴾ “Except those who believe, do good, remember Allah often, and ˹poetically˺ avenge ˹the believers˺ after being wrongfully slandered. The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet.” (Ash-Shu'araa' 26:227) 🔠🔡 🔠🔡  🔠🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔣🔣

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄'🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Do you actually want people to be honest with you? Or do you only want honesty when it agrees with you? It’s easy to say, “Tell me the truth.” It becomes much harder when the truth points toward something you need to change. Sometimes the person challenging you isn’t attacking you. They may be showing you something about yourself that comfort never could. Islam places enormous value on truthfulness, and that includes being willing to hear the truth when it’s uncomfortable. So pay attention to your first reaction when someone gives you honest feedback. Do you immediately defend yourself? Explain everything away? Decide they’re being negative? Or can you sit with it long enough to ask: “Is there something here I need to learn?” You don’t have to agree with every criticism you receive. But if every person who challenges you becomes the problem, eventually you have to consider the common denominator. “من صدق مع نفسه، استطاع أن ينمو.” “Whoever is honest with themselves is able to grow.”

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄'🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Have you ever wondered why you can finally be safe… And still feel anxious? Your life changed. The danger passed. The room is quiet. But your heart is still waiting for something to go wrong. If you’ve lived through seasons of tension, fear, or unpredictability, your nervous system doesn’t immediately recognize that life is different now. It keeps looking over its shoulder. It keeps preparing for a battle that already ended. And that’s why healing takes patience. Not because you’re doing anything wrong. Because your body is learning something it hasn’t known for a long time: Safety. The Qur’an reminds us, ”أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ” “Surely, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (13:28) So if your heart still feels unsettled in places that are finally peaceful, be gentle with yourself. You’ve survived. Now your heart is learning how to rest. 🤍

'Abd Allah Ibn Rawaahah was one of those representatives who ushered Islam into Al-Madiinah and paved the way for the Hijrah, which was considered an excellent springboard for Allah's religion, Islam. 'Abd Allah was also one of the great seventy-three of the Ansaar who gave the Prophet (PBUH) the Second Pledge of 'Aqabah in the following year. After the Prophet (PBUH) and his Companions emigrated and settled in Al-Madiinah, 'Abd Allah Ibn Rawaahah was the most active Muslim of the Ansaar who strove to support the thriving religion. He was also the most alert Muslim to the plots of 'Abd Allah Ibn Ubaiy, whom the people of Al-Madiinah were about to crown king before the Muslims arrived. He never got over the bitterness he felt for losing the chance of his lifetime to become a king. Therefore, he used his craftiness to weave deceitful plots against Islam, while 'Abd Allah Ibn Rawaahah kept on tracing and detecting this craftiness with remarkable insight that frustrated most of Ibn Ubaiy's maneuvers and plots. Ibn Rawaahah (May Allah be pleased with him) was a scribe at a time when writing was not prevalent. He was a poet. His poetry flowed with admirable fluency and strength. Ever since his Islam, he devoted his poetic genius to its service. The Prophet (PBUH) always admired his poetry, asking him to recite more of it. One day, as he was sitting among his Companions, 'Abd Allah Ibn Rawaahah joined them, so the Prophet (PBUH) asked him, "How do you compose a poem?" 'Abd Allah answered, "First I think about its subject matter, then I recite." 🔠🔡 🔠🔡  🔠🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔡🔣🔣
