IF SHAYṬĀN CAN MAKE YOU TO LOSE HOPE, THEN HE HAS WON

Iblīs has no hope.

He loves to cause this type of feeling in Bani Ādam as well. Shayṭān loves to convince a person that there is no hope for them and that they are not good enough to worship Allāh.
A person may try to take a few steps to Allāh, & Shayṭān will say, “You are not worthy. How dare you! Didn’t you commit this sin & that one?”

Shayṭān wants that you give up hope in the Mercy of Allāh

But as long as Allāh has given you breath to breathe and a conscious mind,
then you have not hit rock bottom.

You have the chance to repent and come back to Allāh.

Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri narrates in the Musnad of Imam Aḥmad that the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

“Iblīs said, ‘I swear by Your Honor, my Lord, that as long as Your
servants have souls in their bodies, I will continue to mislead them.’

Allāh said, “By My Honor, Grandioseness, and Loftiness, I will continue to forgive my servants as long as they seek My forgiveness.’”

Shayṭān will continue to misguide people and will succeed.
We all make mistakes and it is bound to happen, but Allāh will continue to forgive us as long as we seek His forgiveness.

One of the best ways to protect yourself from the traps and tricks of Shayṭān is to constantly seek forgiveness of Allāh.

May Allah forgive us our sins.
Curled from the Nasihahs of Saad Tasleem.

DON'T GO A DAY WITHOUT RECITING THE GLORIOUS QUR'AN, YOU WILL NEED THE REWARD IN YOUR GRAVE OR ON THE D-DAY

Do you know that a page of the Glorious Qur'an contains an average of 585 letters? Do you know the reward you receive for reciting every single letter? ImageImageImage
Ibn Mas‘ood (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

“Whoever recites a harf of the Book of Allah will have one hasanah for it, & each hasanah brings a tenfold reward. I do not say that Alif- Laam- Meem is a harf; rather alif is a harf, laam is a harf & meem is a harf.”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani (RH) in Saheeh Sunan at-Tirmidhi.

Do not go a whole day without reciting even a page of the Glorious Qur'an. Make it a habit, even if it is from your phone, take 2 to 3 mins after your Salaat & recite a portion of the Qur'an. You will need it.

Some of you are so dull to think that we are supporting @MBuhari or the @PoliceNG. Am I immuned to the rascality of the Police or SARS? Am I safe from the bad governance in Nig? If anything, the two politicians I respect most are those I constantly criticize. Check my history. Image
But what we are saying is, we see deeper than you do, on many things. Come for my PhD, you will only look foolish because you can't have something like that 🤪. We see where the #EndSARS protest is taking some opportunity seekers & we are alerting you. Yes #endsars and Swat.
Those of you taking this opportunity to begin a process of destabilising the nation are long exposed. They can't hide under a legitimate protest to seek political relevance or plant their ethnic agenda. You are exposed before you even go further.

Daily Hadith: 26th Safar 1442 (13th October 2020)

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said:

"Whoever believes in Allah and His Apostle, offer prayer perfectly and fasts the month of Ramadan,
will rightfully be granted Paradise by Allah, no matter whether he fights
in Allah's Cause or remains in the land where he is born."

The people said, "O Allah's Apostle ! Shall we acquaint the people with the is good news?"

He said:
"Paradise has one-hundred grades which Allah has reserved for the
Mujahidin who fight in His Cause, and the distance between each of two grades is like the distance between the Heaven and the Earth. So, when you ask Allah (for something), ask for Al-Firdaus

WHEN YOU ISOLATE YOURSELF, YOU ARE AN EASIER PREY FOR SHAYTAAN

Shayṭān loves to isolate people because he knows he can get you when you are alone.

A person dealing with low iman may feel like they need to spend time on themselves by themselves.

Like the poet said:
"Sometimes I feel like the righteous
Are too righteous for my heart,
So I avoid them like I avoid,
The devils in the dark...

But when you isolate yourself, you open up the door to Shayṭān"

Shayṭān will convince them that they are not worthy to be around
religious people or people with high iman.

The Prophet (SAW) said, “observe Salat in congregation, for the wolf eats up a solitary sheep that stays far from the flock” (Abu Dawood, 547)

The more people you add, the further away Shayṭān gets.

WHEN SHAYTAN WANTS A HUG, HE CHOOSES A HOME BREAKER AMONG THE DEVILS

The Prophet (SAW) said:

“Iblīs places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension); those who are nearer to him in rank are the ones who are most notorious in creating dissension.
One of them says, ‘I did such-&-such.’

And [Iblīs] says, ‘You have done nothing.’

Then another one comes forth and say:

‘I did not leave so-and-so until I caused dissension between him and his wife'

Iblīs then comes close to him and says ‘Yes, you [have done well]!’”
Al-A‘mash added:

“He then embraces him.”
[Muslim]

The consequences of a broken home are potentially enormous just as we see today in our society. Thus, it is something that Shaytan specifically targets & is so pleased with that he embraces the devil that causes it.

@gimbakakanda is an unfortunate alarmist, full of some inherent bitterness from God-knows-where. I have never read anywhere where it is said that an "Arewa culture" means every tribe must be seen as a Hausa. How many of us are actually Hausa by tribe? And even if we are, so what?
I know for one, my origin is Kukawa in present Borno state, a lineage we have traced through my Kusfa grandparent. Though my parent were all born in Kaduna, & we all have adopted Hausa as a tribe, what is a big deal about a tribe? Who says your tribe defines how special you are?
But I understand one thing about this fragrant little life of a boy, he has a pain he might have inherited from somewhere, & he uses every single opportunity to express how his small mind can't accept the fact that what he & his likes think about an ideology or a person doesn't
