“Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.”


'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud said:I heard the Messenger of God (saws) say: Whoever reads Surah al Waqi'ah every night will never be stricken by poverty and whoever reads it in the morning will never fear impoverishment

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Luqman al-Hakim made his will and counselled his son, saying, "My son! Sit with the learned men and keep close to them. Allah gives life to the hearts with the light of wisdom as Allah gives life to the dead earth with the abundant rain of the sky."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said that he heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, "Shall I tell you what is better than much prayer and sadaqa?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Mending discord. And beware of hatred - it strips you (of your deen)."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ali ibn Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Part of the excellence of a man's Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him."
· A woman who gives birth gets the reward of 70 years of salaat (prayer) and fasting. For each vein that feels pain, Allah SWT gives her the reward of one accepted hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah).
· When a woman is pregnant with a child, all the angels will make Istighfar (repentance) on her behalf. Allah SWT will, for each day of her pregnancy, write for her 1000 good deeds and erase from her 1000 bad deeds.

Shaykh Hazim Abu Ghazaleh: "Tahajjud is a madrassah"

The words of Shaykh Abu'l Hassan ash-Shadhili~"If you desire to look towards Allah with the eyes of faith and firm belief at all times, then be thankful for His favors, and be content with His Decrees. Whatever favor you have is from Allah. Then, whenever evil touches you, call upon Him. If... you desire it to turn away from you, or yourself to turn away from it, worship Allah lovingly, not bargaining with Him, but knowingly, with due respect and modesty."

Ibn 'Ata'illah: "One of the signs of relying on one's own deeds is the loss of hope when a downfall occurs."

Ibn 'Ata'illah: "Do not keep company with anyone whose state does not inspire you and whose speech does not lead you to Allah."

Imam al-Ghazali: "An example of the way He is benevolent towards His servants is His giving them more than they need and His demanding of them less than they are capable of."

"The goodness and righteousness of the early Muslims of this community was a result of their asceticism and certainty; the destruction and ruin of the last of this community will be the result of their miserliness and high hopes of this world's life." Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

The Noble Qur'an - Al-Mu'minun 23:8-11 Those who are faithfully true to their trusts and to their covenants; And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) prayers (at their fixed stated hours). These are indeed the in...heritors. Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever.

Abdul Qadir Jilani: "Do not lose hope in adversity and complain that God singled you out for punishment, remitting others guilty of worse sins. Your present state could very well be His intent to elevate your spiritual station; or He could just ......be testing your faith. Everyday that you persevere, you grow closer to perfection. Thus your present despair may be beginning of an infinite blessing

"Anger corrupts faith as vinegar corrupts honey." Imam Ja'far Sadiq (as)

“Say: O my servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy Of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”. - Qur’an, 39:53

"The pillars of disbelief are four: desire, fear, resentment and anger" Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

"We have enjoined man to respect his parents; his mother bears him with fainting after fainting, while his weaning takes two years. Thank Me as well as your parents; towards Me lies the goal" (The Qur'an 31:14)

"The Creator does not have mercy on the one who does not show mercy to people."

If someone reflects on the details of the branches [of knowledge], a moment of reflection is worth more than a year of worship. If someone reflects for a moment on the true significance of the worship incumbent upon him, that is worth more than seve...nty years of worship. If someone reflects for a moment on intimate knowledge of Allah (Exalted is He), that is worth more than a thousand years of worship.

Ibn 'Ata'illah: "Do not keep company with anyone whose state does not inspire you and whose speech does not lead you to Allah."

Amazing 3 year old boy memorized the whole Holy Quran

"Never mock any creature of Allah, for it might be beloved to He who created it."- a Moroccan proverb.

Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people. (Surah Yusuf 12:87)

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ali ibn Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Part of the excellence of a man's Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him."
