As the blessed month of Ramadan approaches, take a moment to reflect: Have you made up your missed fasts? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) taught us through the example of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that women who missed fasting due to menstruation are commanded to make up those days, but not the prayers (Bukhari).Allah’s mercy is vast, and He rewards those who strive to fulfill their duties, even if delayed. Make up your missed fasts with sincerity and faith, whether immediately after Ramadan or whenever you are able. The Prophet’s guidance shows us the path to purification and spiritual growth through patience and perseverance.Remember that Allah says in the Quran: "And whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer—those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed." (Surah An-Nisa 4:124)If you are delayed in making up the fasts without a valid excuse, some scholars recommend expiation by feeding a poor person for each day, but the key is to return to the fasts with a repentant heart and strive for Allah’s pleasure. May this Ramadan bring you closeness to Allah and acceptance of your efforts.Seek His forgiveness and make your fasts a means to cleanse your soul and renew your faith.

          hey, as-salamu alaykum. 
          i miss yaaa. how are you? 

Be careful that your good intentions don’t blind you to your own self-sabotaging tendencies.
          
          When we focus on our good intentions, we often convince ourselves that we are “good people.”
          Thus, we stop questioning how we are showing up and treating others, because “my heart was in the right place.”
          
          For example, we “just want to help others.”
          But in doing so—without carefully considering how—we might overcommit, neglect boundaries, or even burn out.
          As a result, we begin to resent the very people we were hoping to support.
          
          Remember: your good intentions don’t cancel the impact of your unexamined patterns.
          It’s not okay to avoid conflict, only to explode when the resentment boils over—under the excuse of “keeping the peace.”
          
          True sincerity means noticing when your pure aims clash with your habits.
          Growth starts when we question not just what we meant, but what we did.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu. Just wanted to knw...  Are u a part of any tafseer group?

"Amid the rush of daily life, there lies a quiet beauty in the act of prayer. From an objective lens, Islam's five daily prayers invite us to pause: a deliberate break—five times a day—that doesn’t ask for hours but only a few mindful minutes.In today's world, we often hear about mindfulness, digital detoxes, and the importance of taking personal pauses. But centuries ago, Islam embedded this wisdom into a spiritual rhythm. Imagine: five times a day, the believer steps away from the noise, reconnecting purposefully with their Creator and themselves.This pause is not merely a spiritual ritual; it becomes a profound lesson in time management, discipline, and prioritization. It reminds us to value moments of stillness, to nurture the soul amid worldly responsibilities, and to safeguard our hearts from distractions.The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'When the time for a prescribed prayer comes, if any Muslim performs ablution well and offers his prayer with humility and bowing, it will be an expiation for his past sins as long as he has not committed a major sin. And this applies for all times.' (Sahih Bukhari)�The Qur’an beautifully reminds: 'Indeed, prayer should deter one from indecency and wickedness.' (Qur’an 29:45)
           Thus, these daily prayers are not only a means to spiritual connection, but a shield for the soul and a beacon guiding us to personal growth and inner peace. In every prostration, there is renewal, in every pause, there is strength.Let’s cherish the discipline and tranquility of Salah—a divine meditation for the heart, mind, and soul."

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
          
          “The five prayers, Friday to Friday, and Ramadan to Ramadan will be expiation for the sins between them, so long as major sins are avoided.”
          
          Sahih Muslim 233
          
          
          Don’t forget to recite Surah Al-Kahf on every Friday.

Asa'lamualaikum 
          I love ur reminders and books there so amazing.
          May Allah bless and Guide u always

I love your reminders 

We all carry moments of regret — words we shouldn’t have said, opportunities we missed, wrongs we wish we could undo.
          
          In those moments, the whisper of “if only…” weighs heavily on our hearts.
          
          Qadarullāhu wa mā shā’a faʿal — “It is the decree of Allah, and He does what He wills.”
          
          The Prophet ﷺ said:
          “Be keen on what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not give up. If something befalls you, do not say: ‘If only I had done such and such.’ Rather say: ‘It is the decree of Allah, and He does what He wills.’ For indeed, ‘if only’ opens the door to Shayṭān.” (Muslim, 2664)
          
          Regret becomes a trap when it leads to hopelessness. Islam teaches us to take accountability — but not to drown in endless “what ifs.”
          
          Instead, we move forward with tawakkul. We repent. We reflect. We trust Allah, and we keep going.
          
          How often do we say:
          “If only I had made a better choice. If only I had gotten that job. If only I had passed my exams. If only I had taken that opportunity when I had the chance…”
          
          But regret is one of Shayṭān’s tools. He wants us stuck in the past, replaying our mistakes, second-guessing our decisions, and believing it’s too late to move forward.
          
          And Allah ﷻ reminds us in the Qur’an:
          “Perhaps you dislike something, but it is good for you. And perhaps you love something, but it is bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:216)
          
          Maybe what you regret was actually protecting you from something harmful. Maybe that missed opportunity wasn’t written for you because Allah has something better planned. Maybe the time you thought was wasted taught you a lesson you desperately needed.
          
          Sometimes, what we need most is not a change in circumstances, but a shift in perspective.
          
          So instead of saying “if only I had…” say:
          Qadarullāhu wa mā shā’a faʿal.
          
          Your past does not define you.
          What you choose to do now — does.

✨ The Weight of Saying Wallahi
          
          In our times, a troubling trend has spread — the casual and excessive use of the word "Wallahi" in everyday speech. For some, it has become nothing more than a filler word, a way to emphasize a point, or even to sound "cool." But do we realize the seriousness of invoking Allah’s name so lightly?
          
          Wallahi (والله) means: "By Allah." It is not slang, nor just a phrase — it is an oath, and oaths upon Allah are sacred.
          
          
          ---
          
          Allah ﷻ reminds us in the Qur’an:
          
          > "And do not make your oaths by Allah an excuse for not doing good and fearing Allah and making peace among people. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."
          (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:224)
          
          This verse shows us that swearing by Allah is not to be taken as a plaything. It carries responsibility.
          
          
          ---
          The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
          
          > “Whoever swears by Allah, let him speak the truth; and whoever is asked to swear by Allah, let him be content. Whoever does not, is not from Allah.”
          (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi – authentic)
          
          
          
          And in another hadith:
          
          > “Do not swear by your fathers. Whoever swears, let him swear by Allah, or remain silent.”
          (Bukhari, Muslim)
          
          
          
          If even swearing by anything other than Allah was prohibited, how much more careful should we be when we do swear by Allah’s name?
          
          
          A false oath is so severe that it "drowns" a person in sin. Imagine then, when people throw Wallahi into casual talk without thought, how close they come to this danger.
          
           A Reminder for Us
          
          Saying Wallahi is not a joke, not for exaggeration, not to prove trivial matters. It is an act of worship when done truthfully, and a grave sin when misused.
          
          The next time our tongues are about to say Wallahi — let us pause. Ask: Am I really invoking Allah’s name? Am I speaking the truth? Or am I just saying it out of habit?
          
          So either we mean it, or we keep quiet. That silence is safer for our iman.
          
          May Allah ﷻ protect our tongues from misuse, keep us truthful in our oaths, and honor His name as it deserves to be honored.
