Hukum thah nafs ko marne ka, afsoos ke logon ne zameer ko hi maar diya. A small halal income is better than a large haram income, halal struggle is better than haram enjoyment. May Allah Grant us Halal income. Ameen


Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: "Rush to do good deeds. A Fitnah will occur that is like a portion of the dark night, morning will come upon a man as a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the evening, and evening will come upon a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the morning. One of them will sell his religion for goods of the world." [Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2195]


People stop eating salt for fear of blood pressure and stop eating sweet for fear of diabetes but they do not stop eating haram food for fear of Hellfire. Ya Allah grant us with Halal and distance our hearts from Haram Ameen.


Focus on Hereafter

‘Abdur-Rahman bin Aban bin ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan narrated that his father said: “Zaid bin Thabit departed from Marwan at mid-day. I said: ‘He has not sent him out at this time of the day except for something he asked.’ So I asked him, and he said: ‘He asked me about some things we heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Whoever is focused only on this world, Allah will confound his affairs and make him fear poverty constantly, and he will not get anything of this world except that which has been decreed for him. Whoever is focused on the Hereafter, Allah will settle his affairs for him and make him feel content with his lot, and his provision and worldly gains will undoubtedly come to him.” [Sunan Ibn Majah 4105]


Hasan Al Basri (rahimahullah) said: “O son of Adam! Sell this life for the next and you win both of them. Sell the next life for this and you lose both of them.”


The enjoyment of this world is temporary, The permanent enjoyment is in only in Jannah.
