.: ADVICE: What Is A Truly Blessed Marriage?

Allah knows best.

A blessed marriage is not really one that has lots of intimacy, physical love, a dozen kids or a wealthy, grandiose and materialistic lifestyle.

A blessed marriage in Islam is one in which:

1) The religious wife guides her husband to Heaven for Allah’s sake
2) The religious husband guides his wife to Heaven for Allah’s sake
3) Both the husband and wife guide one another to Heaven for Allah’s
sake

… so that both husband and wife, out of true love for each other, will be together forever and for eternity in Heaven, near Allah and His beloved Messengers and Prophets and among the best of Allah’s servants and friends.


May Allah make us an eternal gift and blessing to our beloved Muslim spouses, May Allah grant each Muslim a righteous and Allah-fearing and truly loving spouse, and May Allah make us among Allah’s friends whom Allah will be Proud to welcome in Heaven near Him and His Messengers, especially the Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

.: ADVICE: The Number Of People You've Befriended Doesn't Really Show That You're A Good Muslim

Allah knows best.

On the Day of Judgment, Allah may not ask you about the number of people you’ve befriended or how many people you were close friends with -while you may be asked about how many people you’ve spoken to and informed about the Truth Islam, and if you did your job as a Muslim, in being a good and true Muslim who conveyed Allah's Message (Islam) and treated Allah’s servants with mercy and justice, and in accordance to the Sunnah/beautiful tradition of the Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam.

.: ADVICE: Be Good At Doing Good Deeds And Avoiding Bad Deeds

 

For Allah’s Sake, never underestimate yourself. If you are not good at doing many good deeds, then at least be good (excel) at avoiding sins and evil deeds.

Good deeds that are done for Allah’s sake and sincere belief in Allah lead to Heaven, while staying away from evil deeds may be a good protection from entering Hell. Both -performing good deeds for Allah’s sake and staying away from Allah’s prohibitions- can insha-Allah be a great means to enter Heaven.

Some good deeds you, as a Muslim, must do: Praying to Allah every day and night, saying our du’as/supplications and remembering Allah everyday, fulfilling the five pillars of Islam and six pillars of Iman (faith), enjoining good deeds and forbidding evil deeds, introducing or teaching Islam to others, taking care of our parents and developing the good Islamic character and morals the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam beautifully had etc.

Some bad deeds / sins you should avoid: Deliberately missing one’s obligatory salahs/prayers, making fun of the religious and God-fearing Muslims, listening to dirty songs and watching porn, making it a habit to backbite and spread gossip, frequently telling lies, separating Muslim friends and loved ones from each other, breaking family ties/relations, having unlawful premarital relationships, flirting/gazing or unnecessarily staring at non-Mahrams, stealing, being unforgiving and obnoxiously arrogant, frequently imitating the lifestyles of those whom Allah hates or staying away from the Sunnah/tradition of the Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam etc.

May Allah make us Muslims among His friends whom He (Allah) loves and will welcome in Heaven near Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Ameen.

.: ADVICE: Speak At The Right Time And Be Silent At The Right Time = WISDOM

Allah knows best.

For Allah’s sake, if you want to be a good Muslim servant, always speak only what is right at the right time and remain silent at the time silence is more beneficial and more rewarding than speaking up.

One of the ways to anger Shaytan (in order to please Allah) is to do the opposite of what Shaytan wants us to do, such as in: Saying good things or speaking at the right time (when enjoining good deeds and forbidding evil deeds) and in being quiet at a time Shaytan wants you to speak.

To please Allah:
1) Be Allah’s friend
2) obey Allah’s commands, do whatever Allah loves
3) love whatever and whomever Allah loves.

To displease shaytan:
1) Ignore shaytan’s insinuations/evil whisperings to commit sin
2) do what shaytan does not want you to do and do not do what shaytan wants you to do
3) hate whom shaytan loves and love whom shaytan hates

May Allah make us Muslims among those righteous Muslims whom Allah loves and would love to meet in Heaven with Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘laihi wa sallam. Ameen.

.: ADVICE: Who Are The True Muslims?

Allah the Most Glorious and Most Merciful
said in the Noble Qur'an:

The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination." [Qur'an Surat Al-Baqara | Verse 285 ]

Allah knows best.

The true Muslim believers, when they hear a command from Allah and the Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam (such as to let the beard grow and trim one’s mustache for the Muslim brothers and for the Muslim sisters to wear the full hijaab and faceveil/niqaab when going outside) they say “we hear (Allah’s commands) and we obey (Allah’s commands).” SubhanAllah and Masha-Allah :)

May Allah make us among those Muslims who obey Allah and who are loved by Allah always so that Allah would love to have us with Him and His beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam in Heaven. Ameen.

.: ADVICE: Two Kinds Of People God Makes You Meet -The Lessons And The Tests From Allah

2 Kinds Of People That Allah Makes You Meet:

1) People who are a test from God (Allah): To check your Imaan (Faith) and how them you will treat,
to see if through them you can win Allah’s Love (through doing good to them or regarding them for Allah's sake) or if you will be left with defeat (through committing evil against them such as stealing from them, damaging their belongings, refusing to forgive them when they ask you for your forgiveness etc.).

2) People who are sent to you as lessons;
Through them Allah can teach,
Through them you can learn a lot,
Through their good or bad examples that Allah makes you see.

Allah knows best.

Do well and try your best
in all of Allah’s tests,
for Allah’s sake,
and for Allah’s sake be the best example
you can be.

.: ADVICE: Jealousy Is A Shaytanic Quality. Avoid Jealousy.

3 Secrets to
not being jealous of a fellow Muslim:

1) As a Muslim, like for your Muslim what you would like for yourself. Would you like it if a friend was jealous of your achievements? So don't be jealous of them just as you don't want your friends to be jealous of you :) 2) Know that Allah gives what He wills to whom He wills, and always with Wisdom. Allah always knows what is best. 3) What Allah gives to others can always be a test -to see if that Muslim passes Allah's test through thanking Allah more and through doing more good deeds to prove their gratitude or if they fail Allah's test through selfishness, arrogance and ingratitude. 

1 Secret to not being jealous of a non-Muslim's material things:

 There really is no reason why we Muslims should envy an unbeliever whose ultimate destination is Hell (unless Allah has Mercy on them and guides them back to Islam). As long as you're Muslim then you're better than the non-Muslim. And as long as you're a true Muslim friend of Allah who is righteous and tries your best to implement Allah's rules, then you are insha-Allah way better than that sinning Muslim. It's all about one's faith/Imaan.  Every one is equal to Allah, what makes us better than the other is in our faith/Imaan and sincere good deeds for Allah's sake :) Allah knows best :)

.: ADVICE: Beware Of The Du'as Of The Oppressed Muslim

Allah knows best. 

SubhanAllah, if there was something that could change one's destiny for better or for worse it is the Du'a/sincere supplication to Allah. This is why you (Muslim or non-Muslim) should be very careful with regards to your dealings with a Muslim.

There is no barrier between Allah and the du'as/supplications of a Muslim who has been mistreated unjustly by a sinner, evildoer or unbeliever. Beware of the du'as of the oppressed lest their du'as against you will be answered.

.: Allah Can Always Answer The Du'as Of His Righteous Muslim Servants

It was narrated that Allah's Messenger Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:

"Allah (the Almighty and Most Majestic) said: 'Whosoever shows enmity to someone (a righteous Muslim) devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him (example: praying the daily salahs at their times etc.), and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him (example of supererogatory deeds: praying Sunnah Dhuha, salatul Witr and Tahajjud, fasting on Mondays and Thursdays etc.). When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.'"

Allah knows best.

Be careful of mistreating or trying to disrespect any righteous Muslim friend of Allah, lest that pious Muslim's du'as against their oppressors/evildoers will be answered, for there is no barrier between Allah and the du'as of the unjustly mistreated Muslims -even the du'as of 'Muslim sinners' can be answered, now how much more if the one supplicating the du'as/prayers happens to be one of Allah's closest friends whom Allah loves and whose good du'as Allah the All-Able and Most Just always answers?

To that ever-lying falsely arrogant and proudly insecure atheist and unbeliever who loves to bark at Muslims day and night (they know who they are): Take a good look at yourself, if you find yourself not being inspired by any Islamic teaching or advice, then perhaps Allah the One and Only True God and King has answered the du'as of the Muslim you mistreated. It could be that the Muslim prayed that you (the evildoing unbeliever would be destined to dwell in Hell for eternity, hence your misguidance and inability to see the Truth of Islam) A curse like that is a terrible curse indeed, to be far away from the true religion Islam, and to be far away from Allah's Light and Mercy.

Allah knows best.

.: ADVICE: Good Deeds Lead To Heaven; Bad Deeds Lead To Hell

Allah, the Almighty and the Most Glorious King of all self-proclaimed ‘kings’ said in the Noble Qur’an: “On the Day (of Judgment) when every person will be confronted with all the good he has done, and all the evil he has done, he will wish that there were a great distance between him and his evil.”

(Qur’an Surat Al-Imran, Verse 30)


Good deeds for Allah’s sake lead to Heaven/Paradise.

Evil deeds and disbelief lead to the Hellfire.

will be clearly distinguished from the unbelievers, losers and liars.

.: ADVICE: Don't Be Unjust. Allah The Most Just Hates Injustice.

God (Allah) is Just. Allah hates injustice.

There may be no such thing as “Karma” in Islam but there is always such thing as Allah’s Justice, Allah’s reward for those Muslims who do good and Allah’s swift punishment for those who do evil by choice and/or out of arrogance.

If you do good to a Muslim for Allah’s sake, Allah will insha-Allah reward you and thank you for it -if not in this world then in the Hereafter/on Judgment Day.

And if you do evil to a Muslim, Allah may have to punish you for your crime and wrongdoing -if Allah does not punish you (to the evildoer, sinner or unbeliever) in this world then Allah can teach you your lesson on Judgment Day.

.: ADVICE: Muslims Don't Celebrate "New Year's"

In Islam
There is no such thing as “New Year’s Resolutions”
Nor celebrating the coming of a new year.
Every day, for a Muslim,
is always a day for improvement
and betterment in our Imaan/faith,
knowledge of our religion Islam,
practice of our religion Islam,
in our good manners and dealings with others,
in enjoining good deeds
and forbidding evil deeds
and in being closer to Allah
and being better and stronger Muslims
than we were before.
for Allah’s Sake Alone.
Allah knows best.
