Are you guilty of deriving pleasure from the misfortune of others? Something bad happens to someone else and you’re secretly happy. Be careful. It shows a poisonous heart which will get worse if you don’t check it. Empathize, be kind and show compassion instead.

Ramadan symbolises positive change. The fact that our diets change dramatically signals the change that our souls are going through as a result. By depriving our stomachs of food, it gives a chance for our souls to be nourished with Quran, Dhikr & ibadah (worship)

Even the greatest of deeds can be of no benefit if the hearts are sick; if the hearts are corrupt; if the hearts are laced with envy, pride, jealousy, hatred etc. So pay close attention to the state of your heart because everything you do flows from it.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Verily, the best people to Allah are those who are first to greet with peace.”

‎Defeat the ego and be the best possible Muslim you can be.

Dr. Omar Suleiman (Twitter)

What others gain from being petty & cruel, is nothing compared to what Allāh will give you for being kind & compassionate. So choose ur behaviour wisely.

We live in a selfish world today. Every man for himself. But don’t be selfish with your prayer. Pray for your friends, your family, loved ones, as well as those you don’t know. Remember, you may think it’s not much but your sincere prayer could change someone’s situation.

In this pick & mix age order and principles are seen as madness, hence Islam is unappealing. That is until we realise how much in need we are of order and principles.

It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder (the Qur’an), and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.

Indeed, We sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ among the groups of early peoples,

but no messenger ever came to them without being mocked.

This is how We allow disbelief ˹to steep˺ into the hearts of the wicked.

They would not believe in this ˹Quran˺ despite the ˹many˺ examples of those ˹destroyed˺ before.

And even if We opened for them a gate to heaven, through which they continued to ascend,

still they would say, “Our eyes have truly been dazzled! In fact, we must have been bewitched.

Al-Qur’an, Chapter 15 (Al-Hijr), Verses 9 to 15

Do you not see that Allah gently drives the clouds, then joins them together, piling them up into masses, from which you see raindrops come forth? And He sends down from the sky mountains ˹of clouds˺ loaded with hail, pouring it on whoever He wills and averting it from whoever He wills. The flash of the clouds’ lightning nearly takes away eyesight.

Allah alternates the day and night. Surely in this is a lesson for people of insight.

And Allah has created from water every living creature. Some of them crawl on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.

We have indeed sent down revelations clarifying ˹the truth˺. But Allah ˹only˺ guides whoever He wills to the Straight Path.

The Holy Quran – Chapter 24 (Al-Noor, The Light) – Verses 43-46 – Translation: Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
