There was once a man who was madly in love with his wife even though they had been together for more than 10 years, when he was asked what it was about her that he was all praise, he said:
"Ever since we got married, to my aggravation, she never stopped asking me to perform my prayers. Year after year passed by but I did not give two hoots about what she said, but on our 10th wedding anniversary,
I asked her what she wanted as her gift and she simply told that my best gift to her would be if I started to pray. I could not deny it to her this time and now as a result,
I am very regular with them. She is the one who is responsible for this pleasant change in my life and I love her for it. In fact, I just cannot believe that I have wasted so many years of my life without them"
☛ Narrated Abu Huraira (May Allah Pleased with Him) narrated that: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “A woman is married for four things, i.e.,
1. Her wealth. 2. Her family status 3. Her beauty and 4. Her religion
So you should marry the religious woman otherwise you will be a loser.
[Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 27]

Living in the 21st century has its perks. Media is now accessible within the tip of our fingers by Social Media sites. Alhamdulillāh, through the power of Social Media we get the latest updates of any news that is important to the society.
But like any other thing, it has its cons. Social Media is addictive, the youth today spends most of their time through social media. As muslims, we have to understand that in our borrowed time in this dunya, every second counts.
We have to understand that our only purpose in this dunya is to please Allāh, nothing else. Wasted time is something that is not taken lightly in Islam, each second of our existence will be questioned on the Day of Judgement.
We learn from an early age the importance of addressing people with respect and by the titles they've earned or are given.
We know this is important in every setting whether it is with family, at school, or in our professional lives.
Even when we address people in writing, be they known to us or complete strangers, we are careful to address them by their given titles or names.
This is basic courtesy that in sha Allah most of us know and comply with without much thought.
What excuse then do we have when we omit the salawat from the Prophet's ﷺ name when we speak of him or when we hear his name being uttered in our presence?
They got married after a beautiful love story, and after two weeks the husband woke up to go to work. He went to the bathroom to wash his face, and in the mirror he saw his face full of drawings of different colors.
His wife was young, childish, and had an innocent heart. She scribbled on his face as he was sleeping, and she did so with a great love, that they would laugh about it in the morning.
The husband washed his face while upset, and went to the kitchen to drink the coffee which he usually does every morning. He did not find the coffee, and he became more upset, and went to her.
She smiled because she thought he would laugh at her, and say something romantic.
When you say you are doing something for the sake of Allah remember you need to do it with the best possible attitude.
And not with an angry face or as a favour to Allah.
Allah is in zero need of any favours from us. And we are in every possible need of Allah.
Next time you do something or say you are doing something feesabeelillah make sure its filled with ihsan/sincerity/like you can see Allah or like Allah can see you, happiness and a humbleness that Allah deserves from His slaves.
"Ihsan" is at the root of all things. The one who is sincere to Allah will find that Allah will always facilitate their affairs and multiply and grant barakah to their efforts. They will flourish as a result of their sincerity.
“Be careful where you get marriage advice. If someone doesn't love marriage, doesn't love Allah, doesn't love you and your spouse, they will not consistently give you healthy advice.”
Our knowledge is limited. But Allah’s knowledge is unlimited.
You might think you want something right now, but Allah knows better when it is right time to give it to you. Perhaps He didn't give it to you at that time because it would bring you more harm than good. Perhaps He wanted to test you and had you been patient with the test,
