| Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings to the strangers.

Oh Allah, Your allies are strong, Your praise is glorified, Your names are sanctified. Oh Allah, Your command cannot be repelled, and Your armies cannot be defeated. Oh Allah, return Masjid Al-Aqsa to the Muslims, and bestow on us a prayer in it before we die. Oh Allah, rectify the affairs of Muslim in Palestine and in every other place, Oh Lord of Majesty and Bounty.
A Servant of Allah.
Oh Allah, break free the shackles of our prisoners and the prisoners of the Muslims. Return them safely back to the loving arms of their families. Oh Allah, they are in urgent need of Your Mercy. So, send them Your Mercies, Oh The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
A Servant of Allah.
The intelligent person’s tongue is behind his heart: when he wants to speak, he first thinks. If his words will be in his favour, he says them, and if they will be against him, he does not speak. And the ignorant person’s heart is behind his tongue: when he merely thinks of saying something, he says it, whether it is for or against him.

When Allah gives us ‘NO’ for an answer, keep in mind that there is a much greater ‘YES’ behind it. His ‘NO’ is not a ‘REJECTION’, but more a ‘REDIRECTION’.
A Servant of Allah.
Be careful if you are about to make a woman cry, because Allah counts her tears. A woman was created from a man’s rib. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior over, but from his side to be equal. Under his arms to be protected, and next to his heart to be loved.

It is like a baby who is afraid of a stranger, he runs to seek the protection of his mother, and such is the Faithful who runs towards Allah in prayer. The fact of making sajdah to Allah gives him tranquility and relief.

When the Holy Prophet was in great difficulty, he performed prayers. Why? Because prayers is a great blessing of Allah. In each difficult moment, to worship Allah is like seeking the protection of Allah. The person who is under the blessings of Allah is protected and has nothing to fear in this World (dunya), nor beyond the Herafter (akhirah). Prayers are the principles of the Prophets and good people and they performed prayer each time they encountered difficulties.

This World is a prison for the Believer and the best of deeds in prison is to have patience and to overcome one’s anger. The Believer has no country in this World, indeed his country lies in the Hereafter.

Oh Allah! Forgive My Grandfather, bestow mercy upon him, pardon him, accord him a noble provision and make his grave spacious, wash him with water, snow and hail, purify him from sins as You have purified the white garment from soiling, give him a better abode in place of his present one, and a better family in exchange of his present one, and a better spouse in place of his present wife; admit him to Paradise and protect from the trial in the grave and punishment in the Hell. Ameen!
A Servant Of Allah.
It is never about how you were raised by your caretakers in this World. But instead, it has always been about how you will be raised by Allah, in the Hereafter.

He who has nothing, has Allah. He who has Allah, has everything.

A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he does not wrong him nor does he forsake him when he is in need; whosoever is fulfilling the needs of his brother, Allah is fulfilling his needs.

If somebody reproaches you and makes you feel ashamed of any of you defects, do not make him feel ashamed of any of his defects.

The word shams (sun) is feminine, and qamar (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no light; it radiates the brillance of the sun. So, when we shine as Men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our Women. May Allah be pleased with them.
A Servant of Allah.
So beware of this land (the dunya) that is falling down and is misleading and deceiving, being decorated by its deceit and having eluded (others) by its delusion, and having killed its people with its hopes. It looks forward with anticipation towards the one who proposes to it for marriage. Hence it becomes like the unveiled bride - all the eyes are looking towards it, and the souls are in love with it, and the hearts are captivated by it.
A Servant of Allah.
