💠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.”
[ Zaad al-maad | 1/398 ]

📢 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.

💠Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
🌷"كثرة الذنوب مع صحة التوحيد خيرٌ من قلة الذنوب مع فساد التوحيد"
‼️"Having many sins with correct Tawhīd is better than having less sins with corrupt Tawhīd."
[al-Istiqāmah 1/466]
--------------------
💥 This timeless wisdom is a profound reminder of the supreme value of pure Tawhid, the oneness of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala). Even if a person falls into many sins, as long as their belief in Allah's oneness remains intact, the door of repentance remains open and hope remains. However corrupted Tawhid severs the very root of iman, rendering every good deed fragile and void.
🌿 True success lies in safeguarding Tawhid, for it is the heart of Islam and the key to salvation. Sins may be forgiven through sincere repentance, but shirk and corrupt beliefs endanger the soul at its core. Let us strive to preserve our Tawhid, turning back to Allah (subḥanahu wa ta'ala) with humbled hearts and genuine remorse for our shortcomings.

🔥Be wary of innovations surrounding the day of Ashura.
⚠️ Sadly, some deviant people engage in practices that have no foundation whatsoever in the Qur’an or the authentic Sunnah. Among these misguided acts are celebrating the day as a festival,
🔥beating their faces,
🔥tearing their clothes,
🔥striking themselves with swords,
🔥and shedding their own blood in frenzied rituals.
🚫Such practices have no legitimate connection to the true spirit of Ashura; they are mere innovations and harmful deviations. In fact the enemies of Islam seize upon these shocking displays to distort and malign the Imaan!

💢☝No deity except Allah; La-ilaha illallah"
💢as an Arab with the knowledge of his language understood it:
💢☝no sovereignty except Allah's,
💢☝no law except from Allah,
💢☝and no authority of one man over another,

🔰The 'grouping' of men which Islam proclaims is based on this Imaan alone, the faith in which all peoples of any race or color-Arabs, Romans or Persians, are equal under the banner of Allah. And this is the way.

☝️La ilaha illallah : no deity except Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) declares no sovereignty but His, no law but His, and no human supremacy over another. Islam unites people of every race under this faith, equal before their Creator (subhanahu wa ta'ala) bound by true freedom and brotherhood.

‼️We blame the world for its faults, yet the true flaws lie within ourselves. The world itself is not to blame; rather, we are filled with imperfections. We mock the world without cause, but if others were to speak of us, we would be equally worthy of mockery.
♨️A wolf does not devour the flesh of its own kind, yet we knowingly consume each other's flesh. We disguise ourselves in sheep's clothing to mislead people, but woe to any wild creature that crosses our path!
🔥We have reduced religion to empty rituals and appearances, thereby deceiving those who judge us by what they see."

💠 A Heart That Bleeds for the Ummah 💠
🍃Abu ubayd al-asqalaani (Rahimahu'Allah) said:
💥“i have not seen abu ubaydah al-khawas laugh for forty years.
‼️It was said to him: “why don’t you laught”
‼️he said: how can i laugh while a muslim still imprisoned by the mushrikeen?!
[sifat as-safwah, 2/416]
🔊The words of Abu Ubaydah al-Khawwās (Rahimahu'Allah), who refrained from laughter for forty years out of sorrow for a single Muslim imprisoned by the mushrikeen, reveal a heart deeply connected to the suffering of his Ummah. He could not enjoy the sweetness of this world while his fellow believers languished in chains.
🔰This is not simply a story of asceticism, it is a wake-up call. It reminds us of the high rank of those whose hearts beat in rhythm with the pain of the oppressed and the forgotten. These are people whom Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) loves, and who carry in their hearts the weight of this Ummah's wounds.
💠It has been narrated by Saeed through his chain from Hibban bin Jabalah, that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said:
‼️“Indeed it is obligatory upon the Muslims to free their captives or to pay their ransoms.”
💠 Ibn Qudamah Al-Hanbali said: It is obligatory to pay the ransom money for the Muslim prisoners, if it is possible. (Al-Mughni 9/228)
‼️This was also said by Umar bin Abdul-Aziz, Imam Malik and Ishaq.
💠It has been narrated from Ibn Zubair that he asked Al-Hassan bin Ali about freeing the prisoners. Al-Hassan replied:
🔊“It is obligatory upon the entire Earth on which he was fighting.”🌎
💔 So let's reflect: How many of us have wept for our brothers and sisters imprisoned unjustly? How many have acted even in the smallest way to help, to raise awareness, to donate, or to pray sincerely?
💢Let not our comforts blind us to their pain. Let our hearts be like the righteous: alive, empathetic, and burdened with the duty Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has placed upon us.
🤲 O Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala), free our prisoners, grant them steadfastness, and awaken this Ummah from its heedlessness.

Nothing repels the extremely worldly Hardships as does the Tawhīd!
🍃 The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said,
"The supplication of Jonah, Dhul Nun (Yunus عليه السلام) when he called upon Allāh inside the belly of the whale was this, 'There is no God but You, glory be to You for I have certainly been among the wrongdoers,' (21:87).
Verily, a Muslim never supplicates for anything with it but that Allāh will answer him."
📖 Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3505
🍃Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
"Nothing repels the extreme worldly hardships as does Tawheed, this is why the supplication for distress and anxiety is with Tawheed.
A distressed person does not make duʿā' with the supplication of Prophet Yūnus, except that Allāh drives away his distress and anxiety with Tawheed.
There is nothing more gruesome for the distressed person than Shirk, and there is nothing that can rescue you from it except Tawheed. It is the place of refuge for the creation, its shelter, its fortress and its means of (seeking) aid."
