🌅 Instead of saying the adhkar upon waking, you scroll through Reels and check Instagram. And guess what? Parents’ WhatsApp is still unread. You post a Qur’an clip, then keep checking who viewed it.
When you pray, it feels like someone rushing not to miss a flight. By the end of the day, you’re left wondering why the sweetness of Iman isn’t there.

When you end up in it, you’ll surely be pleased with what it has kept for you.”

Abu Dawud said:
I entered Karaz Al-Harithi and found him crying, so I said,
“What makes you cry?”
He said: “I did not read my portion of the Qur’an yesterday, and I think it is due to a sin I committed.”

How You Accidentally Raise Entitled Children
You love your child.
You’d do anything for them.
But here’s the truth most parents don’t want to hear:
Sometimes, without even knowing it, you’re teaching your child lessons that will hurt them later.
Not because you don’t care.
But because love can sometimes get misguided.
The kind of love that protects so much… it weakens.
The kind of love that gives so much… it takes away.
And one day, you look around and realize… you’ve raised a child who feels the world owes them everything.
So, how does this happen? And how can you fix it?
(1) Shielding Them From Every Challenge
“If it’s too hard, I’ll do it for you.”
You hate seeing your child struggle.
Their tears break you.
Their frustration makes you want to fix everything for them.
So you step in.
You tie the shoelaces.
You finish the homework.
You solve the fight.
But while it feels like love, it teaches them something dangerous:
“When life gets hard, someone else will always save me.”
Instead of stepping in, coach them through it.
Say:
“I know this is tough, but I believe you can figure it out. Let’s try one more time.”
Struggle isn’t a failure.
It’s their training ground for life.
(2) Making Them the Center of the World
“Let’s cancel our plans because you don’t feel like going.”
Your child matters deeply.
But when everything — plans, schedules, decisions — constantly revolves around their moods,
you quietly teach them to expect the same treatment from the world.
And the world won’t bend to their feelings.
So teach them gently, now.
Instead of giving in, say:
“I know you don’t feel like it, but sometimes we do things even when it’s not fun — because it’s important.”
Love them fiercely,
but don’t let them believe they’re the flower and everyone else just wants to admire them.
(3) Excusing Bad Behavior
“Oh, he’s just tired.”
“All kids act this way.”
It’s easier to explain away bad behavior than to confront it.
But every excuse whispers to your child:
“My actions don’t have consequences.”
And when they grow up believing that, life will hit them — hard.
Be kind, but be clear:
“I understand you’re upset. But you’re still responsible for how you act.”
Discipline isn’t always about punishment.
It’s about guidance.
(4) Rewarding Everything With “Stuff”
“You finished your homework? Let’s get ice cream.”
When every good deed earns a prize,
your child stops finding joy in doing the right thing,
they just chase the next treat.
And when the rewards stop?
So does their effort.
Instead, celebrate with words, not things.
A hug. A smile. A simple, “BārakAllāhu fīkum!” or “I’m proud of you.”
Help them value growth, not gifts.
Parenting isn’t about perfection.
You’ll mess up — and that’s okay.
But you can shift your approach starting today.
An entitled child isn’t just a you problem.
It’s a future society problem.
One day, your child will be someone’s neighbor.
Someone’s co-worker.
Someone’s spouse.
Someone’s parent.
The habits you nurture today will ripple outward for years to come.
So, love your child enough to let them struggle sometimes,
to say no when it matters,
to help them understand that life won’t always revolve around them.
Because one day, when the world tests them, they’ll stand strong —
not because you cleared the path for them, but because you taught them how to walk it.

Cause of Destruction of Nations
Shaykh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said:
True destruction only comes when people abandon what Allah has commanded or commit what He has forbidden. When people neglect their obligations and instead become preoccupied with worldly affairs that distract them from faith, they bring ruin upon themselves. In this life, they suffer humiliation: the enemy overpowers them, seizes their lives, their children, and their wealth, drives them away from their religion, and leaves them powerless—not only unable to live by their faith, but even unable to properly manage their worldly affairs. Their motivation for religion fades, and even their beliefs become corrupted.
Allah the Most High says:
“They will continue to fight you until they turn you away from your religion if they are able. And whoever among you turns away from his religion and dies as a disbeliever—their deeds will come to nothing in this world and the Hereafter, and they are the companions of the Fire, to remain therein forever.” (Qur’an 2:217)
This shows the great harm that befalls any nation that refuses to fight its enemies—whether Muslim or not. Every nation that abandons fighting (its enemies) perishes in the end, as its enemies seize control of its people and its wealth. Neglecting jihad leads to ruin in this world, as we see with our own eyes, and in the Hereafter it results in the torment of the Fire.

Great Opportunity for Seekers of Knowledge!

It does not suffice a Talibul ilm to be specialised in one science only. To attain an elevated stature, he should balance his comprehension of other disciplines as well, since each of them is connected to the other. Knowledge of all these
sciences is needed for him to become adept in all areas.

Surely we belong to Allah and surely we will all return back to Him. إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
It has reached us the news of the death of the grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Shaykh Abdul-Aziz Ali Shaykh. He was the successor to ibn Baaz رحمهم الله.
This is a tremendous loss.
The Shaykh would come to Taif every summer to accept scholars and students to receive their questions and research. He would give the Arafah Khutbah every year during Hajj at one point.
He made Hajj around 45 times and made hajj on behalf of scholars who never did it in the past like: Nawawi, Ibn Hazm, Al-Humaydi and others.
May Allah forgive him and grant him al-Firdous al-Ala...
إن العين لتدمع وإن القلب ليحزن وإنا على فراقكم لمحزونون ولا نقول إلا ما يرضي ربنا ... إنّا لله وإنّا إليهِ رَاجعُون اللهم آجرنا في مصيبتنا واخلف لنا خيرا منها

Abandoning the Witr Prayer

Is the Follower excused for following the Mistake of a Scholar?
“And know that Allah, the Exalted, may cause some of the sincere ones to fall into an error as a trial for others: will they follow the truth and leave his statement, or will they be deceived by his virtue and eminence? As for him, he is excused—indeed, rewarded—for his ijtihād, his good intention, and his lack of negligence. But whoever follows him, being deluded by his greatness without paying attention to the genuine proofs from the Book of Allah, the Exalted, and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, then he is not excused; rather, he is in great danger.”
