‼️Avoid committing sins during these months‼️
💢 Firstly:
*️⃣ The month of Rajab is one of the sacred months of which Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says (interpretation of the meaning):
💠 “Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36]
💎 The sacred months are: Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram.
💠 Imam Bukhaari (4662) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah as-siddiq (Rady'Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa Sallam) said:
💢 “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha’baan.
⛔️ These months are called sacred for two reasons:
🅰️ Because fighting therein is forbidden unless initiated by the enemy
🅱️ Because transgression of the sacred limits therein is worse than at other times.
💠 Hence Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has forbidden us to commit sins during these months, as He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says (interpretation of the meaning):
‼️“wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36]
⛔️ Sins are forbidden at all times, yet in these blessed months, the prohibition becomes even more serious and deserving of caution.
💠 Al-Sa’di (Rahimahu'Allah) said (p. 373):
*️⃣ In the phrase “wrong not yourselves therein”, the pronoun may be understood as referring to twelve months.
‼️ Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) states that He has made them a measure of time for His slaves, which they may use for worshipping Him, and thank Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) for His blessings, and they serve the interests of His slaves, so beware of wronging yourselves therein.
🔊The pronoun may also be understood as referring to the four sacred months, and this forbids them to wrong themselves in those months in particular, as well as it being forbidden to do wrong at all times, because it is more forbidden at this time, but it is worse at this time than at others.

🔰Whatever we do, let us pray for the insight to recognize our own faults, hypocrisy, and shortcomings. Let’s always keep this in mind—never become so focused on pointing out others’ flaws that we forget we, too, have wounds that need healing.

‼️Having same Aqeedah is stronger than sharing same blood.
💥Indeed, the bond of shared Aqeedah weaves hearts together in a way that surpasses even the ties of blood. While family connections link us in this world, the unity of creed binds souls with an eternal purpose, rooted in the love of Allah subhanahu wa taala and His Messenger ﷺ.
🤝 It is a bond built on imaan, nurtured by loyalty to the truth, and crowned by striving for the same Hereafter. Such a connection transcends lineage and stands firm even when blood relations may falter, for its foundation is the light of tawheed and the guidance of revelation.
💠The Messenger of Alläh صلى الله عليه وسلم reported to have said:
‼️"The Muslim is the brother of his fellow-Muslim. He does not wrong him, let him down or despise him."‼️

‼️Imagine if a day was to come where you were unable to use your fingers to turn the pages of your Mus'haf (Qur'ān).
‼️Why is it so hard to imagine?
‼️Do not wait for the day of regret rather use them right now while you are able to do so.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ يَهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا
💎"Verily, this Qur'ān guides to that which is most just and right and gives glad tidings to the believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a great reward (Paradise)."

‼️10TH MUHARRAM‼️
‼️It is a day in which Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) forgave an entire people.
💠Imam Tirmidhi (Rahimahu'Allah) relates that the Prophet (ﷺ) reported to have said to a man:
‼️“If you want to fast a month after Ramadan, then fast Muharram, for it has a day in which Allah forgave an entire people, and He turns to others in repentance in.”
[Tirmidhi | 841]
💠Hāfiz Ibn Hajr (Rahimahu'Allah) said:
🔰Fasting ʿĀshūrā is of three levels:
🚮 The lowest is to fast it alone (10th Muharram).
2️⃣ Above this is to fast the 9th along with it.
3️⃣Above that is to fast the 9th and the 11th along with it. And Allāh knows best (i.e., all three days 9th, 10th and 11th of Muharram).
[al-Fath, (4/246) | Hāfiz Ibn Hajr (Rahimahullah)]
💢There are three levels of fasting ʿĀshūrā.
🔰The most complete is to fast a day before it and a day after it.
🔰After this is to fast (only) the 9th and the 10th, and the majority of Aḥādīth (are found to support this).
🔰Lastly, to fast the 10th by itself.

🔰TEN BEGGARS CAN SLEEP ON ONE RUG, BUT TWO KINGS FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN ONE COUNTRY.
💠If human kings cannot share authority, how could there be more than One True God ruling the heavens and the earth?
💥Allah alone is the King of kings, the Only Sovereign, without any partner or rival. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all, worthy of all worship.

🔰Do not confine your prayers to the limits of your own understanding. Remember, Allah's power is limitless, so let your du'as reflect boundless hope and infinite trust in His ability.
💠Imam Ibn Qayyim, Rahimahu'Allah, said:
💥“Friday is a day of worship and it in comparison to the rest of the days of the week is like Ramadan is to the rest of the months.
🔰And the hour of the acceptance of the du’a therein is like the night of Qadr is in the month of Ramadan.”

📢 Don't forget to fast on Saturday the 5th of July, the day of Ashura.
💠According to the hadith narrated by Imam Muslim, the Prophet ﷺ said:
🔰"I hope from Allah that fasting on the day of Ashura will expiate the sins of the previous year."
🍃 So whoever's fast is accepted, Allah the Most High, by His Grace and Mercy, will forgive the sins of the past year. This is a tremendous opportunity not to be missed.

💥inviting people towards truth‼️
🔰Islam must be accompanied by good character and kind manners.
💢 Sometimes, people do not reject the truth, rather they reject our portrayal of the truth which may not be presented in the best way.
💥Inviting people to the truth is a noble and essential mission, but the way we present it can make all the difference.
☝️Islam teaches not only correct beliefs but also emphasizes excellent character and kind manners. Often, people do not turn away from the truth itself, but from the harsh, insensitive, or unwise way it is delivered.
🔰Therefore, our words should be supported by sincerity, patience, and gentleness, so that the beauty of the truth shines through without being clouded by our personal shortcomings.
