Why People Failed Themselves

People fail in this life and the next because they are often drawn to worldly life. They are drawn to worldly life because of its immediate pleasures, material comforts, and fleeting joys. Pursuing wealth, status, and entertainment can be intoxicating, making it easy to forget the temporary nature of this life. 

Allah reminds us in the Quran: “And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason?” (Surah Al An’am 6:32). 

This Ayah calls us to reflect and prioritize what truly matters—eternal success in the Hereafter. Those who fear Allah and live with purpose understand that this life is a test, and the real reward lies with Him in the next life.

Recipe for Success

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Recipe for Success

The recipe for success is built upon faith, righteous actions, sincerity, justice, patience, and reliance on Allah. 

Allah swears, "By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. (Surah al-Asr 103:1-3). 

True success is not measured by worldly gains alone but by steadfastness in worship, good character, and striving for the Hereafter. Trusting Allah’s plan, maintaining sincerity in deeds, justice, and persevering through trials ensure spiritual and worldly success. 

Allah reminds us, "...And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect..." (Surah at-Talaq 65:2-3).

Virtues of the 15th Night of Sha'ban

Virtues of the 15th Night of Sha'ban

The 15th Night of Sha`ban is one of the greatest nights of the year.`Ata’ bin Yasar said that after Laylat al-Qadr there is no night better than the Fifteenth Night of Sha`ban. Its greatness is due to the divine gifts that are bestowed during it.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah gazes at His creation on the fifteenth night of Sha`ban and then forgives all His slaves except for two types of people: those who attribute partners to Allah and those who have rancor for their fellow Muslims.” (ibn Majah) 

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When this night comes, we should spend it in prayer and fast the following day, because truly Allah calls out to His slaves from sunset until dawn: “Is there anyone seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone seeking provision from Me so I may provide for him? Is there anyone suffering so I may relieve his suffering?”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Our Lord, Blessed and Exalted, descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains and says: ‘Who is calling upon Me, so I may answer him? Who is asking from Me, so I may give him? Who is seeking My forgiveness, so I may forgive him?’” (Bukhari & Muslim)

May Allah forgive all our sins, remove any evil in our hearts, and grant us Ramadhan in the best states. Aameen.

Building Momentum for Ramadhan

Building Momentum for Ramadhan

Sha'ban is a blessed month that serves as a preparation for Ramadhan, allowing us to build momentum in worship and devotion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) increased his fasting during Sha'ban, and one of the best ways to follow his Sunnah is by fasting on the White Days (13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month). 

These voluntary fasts help purify the heart, increase taqwa, and make the transition into Ramadhan easier. Use this time to strengthen your connection with the Quran, engage in dhikr, and seek forgiveness. 

May Allah grant us barakah in Sha'ban and allow us to reach Ramadhan in the best state. Aameen.
