COMPLAINT TO ALLAH IS WORSHIP
💥💥💥🗯💥💥💥
..✍️ El-imam Ibn Mukhtar Isalekoto

Complaint to Allah is worship. It shows that rather than allow a trial that you’re faced with to destroy you, you take your suffering to Allah because He is the only one who can relieve you of that suffering.

Almighty Allah says in Surah Yusuf, Verse 86:

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

“He [Yakub] said: I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah, and I know from Allah what you do not know.” - (Quran 12:86)

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: (‎ﷺ) said, “Whoever is afflicted by a pressing need and complains to people, his need will never be satisfied. Whoever is afflicted by a pressing need and complains to Allah, eventually Allah will provide for him, sooner or later.” Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2326.

May Almighty Allah ease our affairs🤲

ENVY IS ONE OF THE EVIL HABITS THAT ISLAM FORBIDS AMONG THE MANKIND.
..✍️ By: El-imam Ibn Mukhtar Isalekoto

An envious person is as dangerous as the Shayton. He or she can cause both spiritual and physical harm to the person he or she envies. That's why Allah swt commanded us to seek refuge in Him against the envious.

The Noble Quran says;

(ومن شر حاسد إذاحسد)

"And from the evil plots of the envious when he envies".

Envy is to hate to see your brother or others progressing in life and you are not. Or whenever you see someone in good material appearance it pains you and wish if that person didn't have such good things. An envious person is like someone who wants to tell Allah swt what to do or not do. Who deserves what and doesn't deserve it. It's a kind of disbelieve. It can send a person to the Hell fire if he or she didn't repent and died with envy.

But there are two instances when envy is permitted in Islam. It's actually not envy, but the prophet (saw) used the word envy to described that situation which is wanting what someone has. In Arabic its called (الغبطة). Not envy in its real sense. But to have what someone has but not pray against that person.

In Hadith the prophet (saw) said:

لا حسدَ إلا على اثنتينِ رجلٌ آتاه اللهُ مالًا فهو ينفقُ منه آناءَ الليلِ وآناءَ النهارِ ورجلٌ آتاه اللهُ القرآنَ فهو يقومُ به آناءَ الليلِ وآناءَ النهارِ
خلاصة حكم المحدث : إسناده صحيح

"Envy is not permitted but in two situations. A person whom Allah swt blessed with the knowledge of the Quran and he recites it and teaches it day and night. And a person whom Allah swt blessed with wealth and he spends it (meaningfully) day and night"

What the Hadith means is, it's allowed to envy someone who is knowledgeable and you want to be like him to benefit yourself and the society. Or whom Allah blessed with riches and you want to be rich like him or her, and also do good deeds like that person. To help yourself, your family members and to spend your wealth in the cause of ALLAH swt.

May Allah swt grant us our wishes and remove envy from our hearts. And also protect us from an envious people and their evil acts Bi'znillah Tahallah🤲

THE ISLAMIC STAND ON SUPERSTITIONS
➖➖➖
REFUTATIONS OF SUPERSTITIONS BASED ON THE QUR'AN AND SUNNAH
➖➖➖

Superstitions are mere intuition in believing what is not actually true or in existence, and of course it is a form of shirk (polytheism); one of the greatest sins in Islam, since it means believing something might cause a bad luck or bring about a good luck, or believing an incidence as being an evil omen.

As the Prophet (saw) said: Taking omens is polytheism; taking omens is polytheism. He said it three times. Every one of us has some, but Allāh removes it by trust (in Him).

(Graded as sahih by Al-Albani in sunan Abi Dawud 3910)

Apart from Allāh, His Prophet (saw) and the pious predecessors, there's nobody or anything else to believe in or learn from.

Allāh tells us in the Holy Qur'an;

فَإِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَسَنَةُ قَالُواْ لَنَا هَٰذِهِۦۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُواْ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَٰٓئِرُهُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

But when good [i.e., provision] came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allāh, but most of them do not know. (Al-A'raf 7:131)

It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet (saw) said: “There is no ‘adwa (transmission of infectious disease without the permission of Allāh) and no tiyarah (superstitious belief in bird omens), but I like optimism. They said, “What is optimism?” He (saw) said, “A good word.”
(Sahih al-Bukhaari 5776).

From the evidences above, a good Muslim would believe that superstitions are totally prohibited in Islam, as it causes nothing but more harm and destruction in a person's life. Some superstitious beliefs in our society include;

1️⃣ Facing a shoe upside down causes poverty.

2️⃣ Sweeping the floor during the evening brings bad luck – something important might get lost.

3️⃣ When a black cat horizontally crosses the path of some people going on a journey, the journey will be fruitless and as such, they should cancel.

4️⃣ Calling someone a witch or a wizard because he/she is aged.

And Allāh knows best….

FASTING ALERT
➖➖➖
8 DAYS OF FASTING
➖➖➖

All dates mentioned are in accordance with the counting of the Sultan of Sokoto, Nigeria. Consult with your local scholars for the dates in your country as there might be variations.

➖➖➖
1️⃣ Thursday 3rd of July (8th of Muharram)- Sunnah Fasting

➖➖➖
2️⃣ Friday 4th ofJuly (9th of Muharram) - Day of Tasu'a (a day before Ashoora).

➖➖➖
3️⃣ Saturday 5th of July (10th of Muharram) – Day of Ashoora.

_(There are differences of opinion amongst the scholars on taking up voluntary fasting on Saturdays - this has been reported in several sahih hadiths, that it is haram to do so).

➖➖➖
4️⃣ Sunday 6th of July (11th of Muharram) - Day after Ashoora.

➖➖➖
5️⃣ Monday 7th of July (12th of Muharram) - Sunnah fasting

➖➖➖
6️⃣ Tuesday 8th July (13th Muharram) - First of the white days/sunnah fasting.

➖➖➖
7️⃣ Wednesday 9th July (14th Muharram) – Second of the white days.

➖➖➖
8️⃣ Thursday 10th July (15th Muharram) – Third of the white days/ Sunnah Fasting

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “ ...And fasting the day of ‘Ashoora,’ I hope Allāh will expiate thereby for the year that came before it.”_ [Saheeh Muslim, 1162]

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “The best fast after Ramadan is in the month of Allāh; Muharram.”_[Saheeh Muslim 1982]

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Deeds are shown (to Allāh) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting.” [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 747; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1041]

Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayaam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.”

[Narrated by al-Nasaa’i (2420); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1040)]

NOTE: These are not compulsory fasts. So, if you are unable to fast all of the days, you can do as much as you are able to.

It is highly recommended that you prioritize the day of Ashoora as well as the day before and/or after (if you're able to).

You can also share this message. Perhaps one will fast because of your reminder.

"One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer”_[Saheeh Muslim vol.3, no.4665]

May Allāh make it easy for us, and may He grant us the rewards.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME:
➖➖➖
Being a Productive Muslim
➖➖➖

Almighty Allāh says

وَالعَصْرِ

By time

إِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ

Surely Mankind is in Loss [103:1-2]

Almighty Allāh swears by the time, that mankind is at a loss!

Because time can never increase for a person, it is only ever decreasing.

Death doesn't stop because the guy is on life support.
And if a person defies death somehow, then the appointed time for him has not come yet.

We are younger and we are stronger and we should make use of this,

Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه narrates that Prophet ﷺ said "Take advantage of five matters before five other matters:

1️⃣. Your youth, before you become old;

2️⃣. Your health, before you fall sick;

3️⃣. Your richness, before you become poor;

4️⃣. Your free time before you become busy;

5️⃣. Your life, before your death.”

[Musnad Imam Ahmad]

We should heed this Prophetic Advice, because life is indeed short!

Almighty Allāh describes the life of a person as stages

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقاً عَن طَبقٍ

You shall certainly enter stage after stage. [84:19]

Ikrimah رضي الله عنه said

"Stage after stage. Weaned after he was breast feeding, and an old man after he was a young man."

Al Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله said

"Stage after stage. Ease after difficulty, difficulty after ease, wealth after poverty, poverty after wealth, health after sickness, and sickness after health."

And Almighty Allāh also describes the temporary nature of this Dunya,

وَلَلاٌّخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الاٍّولَى

And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present. [93:4]

Meaning, the abode of the Hereafter is better for you than this current abode. For this reason the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to be the most abstinent of the people concerning the worldly things, and he was the greatest of them in his disregard for worldly matters.

What we learn is that the Life in Dunya is Short!
And the hereafter is eternal!

And earning a good abode means working hard.
Not wasting time sitting idle.

Learn your Deen!
Even if it means reading the Tafseer of one Ayah.

The time for playing is gone!

Forget the girls/boys, forget the fast cars, forget the adulation of wealth, submit to Almighty Allāh and use your life wisely!

May Almighty Allāh make us among those who utilise their time in the most beneficial manner.

آمين

20/06/2025

TODAY IS FRIDAY (JUMA'AT)...

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FIVE BEFORE FIVE:

Let’s thank Allah for the countless blessings that He has bestowed upon us before it’s too late.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “There are two blessings which many people lose (They are): Health and free time for doing good. [Bukhari]

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Take benefit of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death” (Narrated by Ibn Abbas and reported by Al Hakim)

🔘 YOUR YOUTH:
When we are young we have strength, enthusiasm and drive and putting those advantages in the path of Allah raises the individual levels.

The Prophet ﷺ has told us that a young person who grew up with the worship of Allah, will be among the seven who are granted shade by Allah when there no shade but His. (Bukhari)

🔘 YOUR HEALTH:
No one can guarantee what tomorrow will bring. Our health is a blessing from Allah that we tend to take for granted.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whosoever begins the day feeling family security and good health; and possessing provision for his day is as though he possessed the whole world.” [At- Tirmidhi].

🔘 YOUR WEALTH:
We should all have some part of our wealth to invest in the hereafter. Helping the needy, providing for orphans etc. all these secure a spot for us in Jannah.

Allah has promised us that he will repay us more than whatever sum of money we spend for His sake:

Almighty Allah says in Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 245:

مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً وَاللَّهُ يَقْبِضُ وَيَبْسُطُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

"Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned." (Quran 2:245)

“The feet of the son of Adam shall not move from before his Lord on the Day of Judgement, until he is asked about five things one of which is his wealth and how he earned it and spent it upon… (Al-Tirmidhi)

🔘 YOUR FREE TIME:
Wasting time on idle things is not recommended in Islam. We should try to always fill our free time in the remembering Allah and being productive.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said;
“There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) Health and free time for doing good.” (Bukhari)

🔘 YOUR LIFE BEFORE DEATH:
We are all going to die, It is an inevitable truth. And how we spend this life in Dunya (this world) determines our life in the hereafter.

Almighty Allah says in Surah As-Sajda, Verse 12:

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰ إِذِ الْمُجْرِمُونَ نَاكِسُو رُءُوسِهِمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ رَبَّنَا أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَارْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ

“If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], “Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain.” (Quran 32:12)

May Allah bless us with all five so we can work harder to please Him Bi'znillah 🤲

As today is another juma'at, remember to send many salat to the best of mankind, Muhammad (saw).

اللهم صلي على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما بركة على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد🤲🤲🤲

WHEN FRIENDS TURN INTO ENEMIES
➖➖➖
Importance Of Good Companionship
➖➖➖

Allāh says about Qiyamah,

ٱلْأَخِلَّآءُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

Close friends will be enemies to one another on that Day, except the righteous, [43:67]

Meaning, every friendship that exists for a purpose other than for the sake of Allāh will turn to enmity on the Day of Resurrection, except for that which is for the sake of Allāh, which will last forever.

The good friends will intercede for their friends, who they see are being punished!

Isn't this reason enough to surround yourself with the good company, company of the righteous?

The regret of those who didn't, they will cry out!

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

And nobody has misguided us except the criminals,

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

now we have no intercessors,

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍۢ

Nor a close friend. [26:99-101]

Meaning, they'll be stuck in punishment regretful and woeful that they have no righteous friend, no good friend that could have taken them out of Jahannam!

Why?

They took the people who were bad influences, who didn't believe in Allāh, who committed sins openly and invited towards it as close friends!

Another cry of regret from these people is mentioned in Surah Furqan,

يَٰوَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِى لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًۭ

Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as an intimate friend!

لَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِى عَنِ ٱلذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَنِى

He indeed led me astray from the Reminder after it had come to me [25:28]

So look at your close circles, what types of discussions occur,
What types of actions occur,

Do they gather with the intention to please Allāh, or do they act and displease Him?

Abu Musa (رضي الله عنه) reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: “Verily, the parable of good company and a bad company is only that of a seller of musk and a blacksmith. The seller of musk will give you some perfume, you will buy some, or you will notice a good smell. As for the blacksmith, he will burn your clothes or you will notice a bad smell.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 1995, Sahih Muslim 2628]

You will be enemies, blaming each other for the collective actions you did and you will collectively be punished!

Except those whom Allāh has mercy on and forgives!

So repent to Allāh constantly and reflect!

May Allāh grant us righteous friends and grant us goodness both in this life and the hereafter.

آمين

YOU WEREN'T CREATED WITHOUT PURPOSE
➖➖➖
Worship Allāh Alone
➖➖➖

Allāh says;

أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ عَبَثًۭا

Did you think that We had created you uselessly,

Meaning 'did you think that you were created in vain, with no purpose, with nothing required of you and no wisdom on Our part'

"in play'' means to play and amuse yourselves, like the animals were created, who have no reward or punishment. We have been created to worship Allāh and carry out His commands.

وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ

and that you would not be brought back to Us [23:115]

This is as Allāh says:

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

Does man think that he will be left neglected [75:36]

فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ

So Exalted be Allāh, the True King.

means, sanctified be He above the idea that He should create anything in vain, for He is the True King Who is far above doing such a thing.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ

So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne. [23:116]

You weren't created except to worship Allāh, so then what will become of us when we prioritise over Allāh and His worship?

As Allāh says;

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

And I did not create Jinn and man except to worship me [51:56]

So the next time you neglect Fajr in Jama'ah,

The next time you neglect Isha in Jama'ah.

The next time you neglect your recitation of Qur'an,

Neglect your Tawbah, your Shukr of Allāh.

Remember that Allāh doesn't need your Ibadah, and that you need Him.

Remember that Allāh is al Khaliq and Al Musawwir, and He could take away your legs and eyes just as easily as you misused them.

Remember Allāh is Al Raziq and could cause you to lose your beloved job which makes you miss Salah!

Remember that Allāh is Muqallib al Qulub, and could replace you as a muslim before you know it.

Wallahi, our purpose in life is to worship Allāh alone and we will die and we will be returned to Allāh one day.

Are you prepared for it...?
