Musa (AS) didn't look at the sea, he looked at his Rabb, and that is the whole lesson, because tawakkul is not about looking at your problem and finding a way through it, it is about looking at the One who owns the problem and trusting that He already has a way through it.

When Musa (AS) stood with the sea in front of him and Fir'awn's army closing in behind him, there was no logical exit, no plan that could have worked, no human strategy that made sense, and yet he didn't calculate his way out, he didn't panic into a solution, he looked at his Rabb and stood firm, and then Allah gave the sea a command, not Musa (AS).

Allah, because Musa (AS) understood that he was never the one in control to begin with, and sometimes Allah brings you to exactly that kind of place on purpose, a place where your planning runs out, where your options disappear, where every door you could have opened yourself is closed, not to punish you but to teach you the one lesson that comfort never could, that the only real support you ever had was Him.

So when you find yourself in a place where nothing is working and no path is visible, don't look harder at the sea, look at your Rabb, because the same Allah who split the water for Musa (AS) is fully capable of making a way through whatever is standing in front of you right now 🤍

If someone tells you that they started becoming close to their religion because of you and the things you say and have been posting. Is this considered Dawah?

Because I love encouraging Muslim brothers and sisters and advising them and they always tell me about how they used to be distant from the religion and got closer to it because of what I have said and shown them. I feel really happy about it ))

The biggest downfall of Muslim men came when they became too comfortable with people disrespecting their women. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) sent an entire army because someone lifted a woman's veil.

Salam. I've seen people saying this a lot. I just want to know if this is true. I thought in Jannah we won't remember bad things so we weren't remember those that have gone to hell and are not in Jannah with the believers.

If someone you love is being punished in Hell for their crimes done against others. How would a believer have the power to put a stop to this?

A lady close to me has had an issue with her husband recently because she was cussing at him and his parents. He basically beat or slapped her. And then my mother said to me that it's justified because she was showing disrespect and Islam allows it.

I've just been confused on what to think about it. I understand both sides. And it's like they're tryna make me pick sides. Because the woman who was beat said it was Unjust but my mother says it was Fair and she had to learn her lesson.

I mean if your parents had "abused" you or treated you with tough love growing up. You felt upset by it in the moment. Would you hold onto that grudge? Do you think on the Day of Judgment you'd ask for their good deeds or forgive them?

For me personally, I would forgive them because I don't want to see my family in Hellfire if there good deeds were to run out because of me, I would feel bad. Also everyone will be with their family in Jannah too so I want my family there ✌🏻

Muslims must follow Allah and His Messenger right away, without delay, fear, or hesitation, even when it is hard or unpopular. True faith means obeying God's commands and avoiding what He forbids without caring what other people think.

“It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision.” [al-Ahzab 33:36]

Muslims should not look at how small or great the sin is, rather he should look at the greatness and might of the One Whom he is disobeying, for He is the Most Great, the Most High; He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment, and His punishment is severe and painful and humiliating.

A sin may appear insignificant in the eyes of a person when before Allah it is serious, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“…you counted it a little thing, while with Allah it was very great.” [al-Nur 24:15]

This matter is as some of the scholars said:

“Do not look at the smallness of the sin, rather look at the One Whom you are disobeying.”

A Muslim who sins is still a Muslim. Bad acts do not make someone leave Islam unless they completely reject the faith. In the afterlife, God may punish or forgive them. If they go to Hell, they will not stay there forever. No one knows their final fate except God. No one knows for sure if a woman who does not wear a hijab will go to Hell. A woman who obeys God and wears the hijab can hope to enter Paradise and be saved from Hell.

It is strange when a good woman prays, fasts, and avoids bad things, but does not wear a hijab. Her good acts show she loves good. She is close to doing right. She should wear the hijab as God asks, ignore bad excuses, and resist family pressure.

She should ignore critics and avoid following bad trends that focus on showing off. Instead, she must control her desires, stay modest, and wear the hijab to obey Allah and protect herself from being treated as an object. As the Quran states in Surah al-Nur 24:31, women should “not to show off their adornment,” and in Surah al-Ahzab 33:33, it commands them “and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As Salah (Iqamat as Salah), and give Zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger.”

Waking up for Fajr is hard.

Living with the guilt of missing it is harder.

Choose your hard.

Raising righteous children is hard.

Watching your children grow up without the Dīn is harder.

Choose your hard.

Lowering your gaze is hard.

Protecting your heart from the consequences of what you chose to look at is harder.

Choose your hard.

Leaving what is haram is hard.

Living with the consequences of disobeying Allah is harder.

Choose your hard.

Being consistent in Salah is hard.

Standing before Allah with neglected prayers is harder.

Choose your hard.

Seeking knowledge is hard.

Remaining ignorant of the Dīn is harder.

Choose your hard.

Being a good role model is hard.

Watching those who look up to you follow the wrong example is harder.

Choose your hard.

Life will always have its struggles. You don't get to choose whether life is hard. But you can choose which struggle you are willing to bear. Choose the hardship that brings you closer to Allah, not the one that takes you further from Him.

Choose wisely.

Choose for the sake of Allah.

There's not much specifically mentioned for Muslimahs in Jannah. Everyone has different desires and I'm wondering what other Muslimahs want in Jannah. Our Almighty has said We will get whatever we desire. Idc what muslim men say, most Muslimahs don't want the same thing. We will enter Jannah with pure hearts but the same personality. We won't be erased completely like believers assume.

It says we will be the most beautiful to our Husbands. We will also get fine silk clothing. Pearl jewelry. Some may not find this stuff appealing. Genuinely curious who doesn't. I mean I'm not too bothered by the materialistic things 😭

You shouldn't be scared of dying. You should be scared of what you take with you to the Grave. There are many people who do good things in this life. What we know about what the righteous get in the grave makes it easier for us. It's comforting. In this life, the righteous earned their peaceful grave through sincere faith, regular prayers, honesty, kindness to family and neighbors, and helping the poor; conversely, those who face severe punishment in the grave spent their lives in disbelief, arrogance, spreading gossip (Namimah), cheating, neglecting daily prayers, and harming others without ever seeking forgiveness.

When the righteous person is placed in the grave, two angels named Munkar and Nakir arrive to ask three fundamental questions. Because of the believer's firm faith during life, Allah makes the answers flow effortlessly.

Immediately following the successful questioning, a voice from the heavens commands that the believer be treated with the hospitality of Paradise. While a grave looks like a narrow, confined space to the living, its spiritual reality for the righteous is completely transformed. The grave physically expands as far as the eye can see (often described as seventy cubits in width and length). The darkness is entirely erased, and the grave is illuminated with an internal, divine light.

The angels tell the believer to sleep peacefully, described in Hadiths as "the sleep of a bridegroom" whom no one wakes except the person most beloved to them. Twice a day, the believer is shown their ultimate seat in Paradise. They are also shown the seat in Hellfire they would have occupied had they been wicked, filling them with deep gratitude for Allah's mercy.

A beautiful, pleasant-smelling person wearing elegant clothing will come to sit with the righteous believer in the grave. When the believer asks, "Who are you? Your face brings goodness," the companion will reply: "I am your righteous deeds." This manifestation stays to comfort and keep the believer company until the Day of Resurrection.

The experience of a wicked or unrighteous person in the grave (Barzakh) is the exact opposite of the righteous. It is described as a place of immense regret, darkness, and constriction.

The two angels, Munkar and Nakir, ask the three fundamental questions ("Who is your Lord?", "What is your religion?", "Who is this man?"). The unrighteous person will be unable to answer, only saying in terror, "Ah, ah, I do not know."

A voice commands that the person be furnished with bedding from Hellfire and clothed in garments of fire. A window opens to Hell, letting in its scorching heat and poisonous winds.

The grave physically narrows and constricts, pressing in on the body until the ribs interlace. Twice a day, the person is shown their final, terrifying seat in Hellfire, causing them to cry out in dread, "O Lord, do not establish the Hour!" The person's evil deeds take the form of an ugly, foul-smelling, terrifying creature that sits with them, bringing constant torment and psychological distress.

So many believers get tested with trials.

Not everyone has a good/bad family. Allah Almighty has chosen for every believer a family that may cause them difficulties or happiness and we must be patient and we must understand that our Lord doesn't burden us with what we can't bear. Also be grateful for your family too. Inshallah everything will be fine, there will be no hatred and souls will become pure in Jannah when you reunite.

Some people have been given good and bad looks. Looks can deceive a lot of people. Pretty privilege is a real thing. I've known so many good looking people get away with things. A lot of people have wished they would have been good looking but remember that our looks could also be used a trial. Every insult you get from someone who doesn't see you as attractive. You will get rewarded and their good deeds will go to you on the Day of Judgment. They will absolutely regret even saying that to you then because everyone will try and be greedy with their deeds then. Allah the Almighty sees our heart not our looks.

Mental health is a trial for some of us too. Many struggle with depression and anxiety. Some have illnesses and disabilities. May Allah help us all. Its a struggle getting through to another day but we make it with Almighty's help.

Lots of people struggle with poverty. Growing up poor has taught me to be humble so I'm definitely grateful to my Allah for this trial. I consider myself blessed if I even have clean water daily. Look at our brothers and sisters around the world who struggle. May Allah reward them with Jannah Al Firdaus. Its so sad how people have all this money but don't give to the needy. I love that zakaat is mandatory in Islam. Our religion is so so beautiful!

Sometimes our duas don't get granted straight away. Allah tests us with sabr. Its not because He hates you. Allah the Almighty is just reminding us that no matter what happens and no matter what we get we always keep faith in Him! Nobody will ever love us the way our Lord does.

I genuinely think people who struggle with it should work on themselves and get better instead of jumping in a relationship. A marriage won't fix your problem. I know I've done what was right and informed people who have proposed to me about me but they didn't even seem to care. The guys genuinely had this "I can fix you" and "I can handle it" attitude.

I pray for all my brothers and sisters that struggle with Illness and Mental Health. It's really hard for some of us 🙏

I've seen many muslims who may be practing or not blame other people for why they are distancing themselves from the Religion. All I have to say is actually build a connection to the Almighty if you're a muslim and focus on your deen. Not every muslim you know will be good or bad. If someone who holds you accountable of reminds you of your deen is enough to push you away from your faith, then you really need to work on yourself.

Remember on the Day of Judgment. You will stand alone. Not even family will defend you. If you've missed your prayers due to someone saying something to you. You will be the person who will be held accountable and affected by this. Why risk losing your home in Jannah because of how other muslims behaved with you?

A lot of muslims have abused and spread slander about me. Will that push me away from my Almighty? Absolutely not. It only encourages me to stay on my faith. I'm not going to lose the risk of being in Jannah because of someone else. Everything unjust that has happened to you because of someone will be sorted out on the Day. If people want to make assumptions about me they can. They will only lose their good deeds by spreading misinformation. Don't think I'm the one losing out on anything.

Why are you choosing to disobey the Almighty? Do you not fear the consequences? Does this relationship make you less closer to Allah?

Why have you not told your parents about this person? Are you ashamed? Are you not ready for marriage? How does it feel hiding something as big as this from your family?

If your love is intense, do you think your "partner" would die for you? Do you think you would want to join them in Hellfire?
