Seeking Knowledge to argue, show off or attract attention

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that:

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever seeks knowledge in order to argue with the foolish, or to show off before the scholars, or to attract people's attention, will be in Hell." [Sunan  ibn Majah]

Set Lofty Goals For Ramadhan

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ

“The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.” 

[Quran, Al Baqarah 2:185]

Ramadhan is our opportunity to set lofty goals that bring us closer to Allah. For those of you aspiring to memorize the Quran, this Ramadhan is a perfect time to start or deepen your journey with the Book of Allah. It's a time when the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would intensify their engagement with the Quran, through recitation, reflection, and memorization.

Be Good People

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Abdallah b. ‘Umar told of God’s messenger taking him by the shoulders and saying, ‘‘Be in the world as though you were a stranger or one who is passing through.” Ibn ‘Umar used to say, “In the evening do not expect to see the morning and in the morning do not expect to see the evening, but take something when in health to serve you in time of illness and something in your life to serve you in your death.” Bukhari transmitted it.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَنْكِبِي فَقَالَ: «كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ» . وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرِ الصَّبَاحَ وَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرِ الْمَسَاءَ وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ لِمَرَضِكَ وَمِنْ حياتك لموتك. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Adorn yourself with the traits of someone the Prophet (ﷺ) loves, Muadh ibn Jabal

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Adorn yourself with the traits of someone the Prophet (ﷺ) loves, Muadh ibn Jabal

The Prophet (ﷺ) held the hand of Muadh and said, “I really love you...” The scholars said the reason why the Prophet loves Muadh because of his knowledge of the religion (fiqh) and his Quran. 

The People of the Quran are Allah’s family (figurative) and the chosen ones among the servants of Allah. When the Prophet (ﷺ) loves you, you are loved by Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) says, “I swear by Allah, Allah does not throw those He loves into hell.” We  are desperately in need of the love of Allah. If you truly love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ), do not fall short in saying this after each prayer.

اللّهُـمَّ أَعِـنِّي عَلـى ذِكْـرِكَ وَشُكْـرِك ، وَحُسْـنِ عِبـادَتِـك

Allāhumma ‘a`innī `alā dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa ḥusni `ibādatik. 

O Allah, help me to remember You, to give You thanks, and to perform Your worship in the best manner.
