We will continue to rectify ourselves whenever needed, for indeed, TRUTH is more beloved to us than anything. Shaykh Rabī’ Al Madkhali حفظه الله said: "If you find me making mistakes or oppressive in an affair — I am ready (to retract). By Allah I’ll accept from a student in secondary or primary school. I will accept his advice." [Tah’dheer min Al-Fitan p. 90]

Subhan’Allah… some people are truly inspiring. I still remember the early days of my journey towards the Deen. After Allah, it was certain people-people I’ve never even met who helped strengthen me in ways I can’t even explain. Just seeing their commitment to Deen… the way they turned back to Allah with sincerity & repentance, way they lived with devotion… it touched something deep. It gaves hope when I needed it most. It gave me the push I needed to begin (& keep learning). Truly, some ppl are just healing, without even knowing it. Without a single interaction. They’re miles away, some of them don’t even know you exist but their light still reaches you, all by the will of Allah سبحانه و تعالى. Just witnessing their dedication, behavior & stories of transformation, It inspires you to grow, to hold on tighter to your faith, and to keep moving forward no matter how heavy the journey feels. I genuinely wish them well and always keep them in duas—along with all those who, in some way, played a role in my way on this noble path. May Allah سبحانه و تعالى forgive those brothers & sisters, & accept their efforts, & grant them Paradise without any questions or punishment. Ameen.

SubḥānAllāh, the early generations of Muslims (Salaf) used to hide their good deeds the way we hide our sins. They feared that their sincerity might be affected by pride or showing off. But today,almost every act of worship becomes a public display & Announcements. Whether it’s Ḥajj, ʿUmrah, fasting, or charity. or we often bring those in conversations or gatherings just to get attention. Don’t you fear Allah? Don’t you fear that your deeds might be destroyed because of this? Social media has made this fitnah even worse, desire to be seen doing religious acts. *What should be between us and Allah becomes content.* Wallahu Al mustan We forget that riyāʼ (showing off) is a hidden form of shirk — a silent destroyer of good deeds. It’s dangerous, and many fall into it without even realizing. This isn’t about worldly matter, that’s a separate thing. Here, we’re talking about our Deen & ʿibādah (worship). Yes, sometimes sharing information or reminder is important, but much of what we see today goes beyond that. And what’s even sadder is when some people do it under the label of “dawah” Aʿūdhu billāh that makes it worse. May Allah سبحانه و تعالى protect our hearts, purify our intentions, and make our deeds sincere — done only for His sake. May He save us from the fitnah of fame & deception of the online world. Āmīn

لا تقل رأيت ولم تره Do not say “I saw” when you did not see وسمعت ولم تسمعه or say “I heard” when you did not hear وعلمت ولم تعلمه or say “I know” when you do not know فإن الله سائلك عن ذلك كله for verily Allah will question you about all of that.

It’s a good sign if you're using WhatsApp to: • Share (any) beneficial knowledge • Encourage others to improve & do good • Give sincere advice to believers • clarify (show) the beauty of Islam • Share authentic clips of scholars • Spread positivity, patience, and hope It’s a bad sign if you're using it to: • Troll, mock, or belittle others • Gossip or spread rumors in groups • Expose others’ faults or sins • Waste time on pointless arguments • Turn da’wah into drama • Share songs, memes, or cringe videos Use WhatsApp to build, not break. Let’s share beneficial knowledge—whether about deen Or duniya.

For some people, the only explanation that you can find for their behaviour is: في قلوبهم مرض فزادهم الله مرضا ولهم عذاب أليم بما كانوا يكذبون "In their hearts is a disease and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies." (Surah al-Baqara: 10)

Imam ash-Shafi'ee - Poetry on how to respond to Fool: "The fools speak to me with all vulgarity *So I hate to respond likewise in turn. they increase in their evil, so I increase in my patience"* Like an incense that becomes more fragrant when burned. So when the fool speaks do not respond, the strongest rebuttal is lack of acknowledgment. If you address him he finds comfort, but if you ignore him he remains paralyzed In another narration Imam ash-Shafi'i said: "If a fool speaks, do not answer him. The best answer to him is silence. If you answer him, it will only loosen his tongue. If you leave him, he will die of sadness." Also ash-Shafi'i said: "A humiliation of knowledge is to argue with everyone who tries to argue with you, and to speak with everyone who tries to speak with you." "Manaqib ash-Shafi'i", 2/151,

Imām Ibn Qudāmah (d.620AH) رحمه الله stated: "The Salaf used to love those who informed them of their shortcomings and mistakes. *And as for us now, the most hated of the people to us are those who inform us of our mistakes and shortcomings."* [Minhaaj al-Qaasideen(p.196)] Humble yourself

Take a moment today to make sincere dua for every Muslim woman who wears niqab & stays covered (fully), even in this intense heat, under burning sun, & through overwhelming humidity. Of course, it’s not an easy thing to do yet they choose to uphold their modesty for the sake of Allah عز وجل alone. Quietly, Consistently, without seeking attention or praise from anyone, except Allah عز وجل, Subhan'Allah. *These are the noble daughters, sisters, wives, mothers — the blessed Muslimahs.* May Allah عز وجل grant them strength & ease their every step, increase their reward & patience, keep them firm on this noble path. May He grant them shade on the Day when there is no shade but His, and surround them with His mercy in both this life and the next. Ameen.
