Forever And A Day

We think we'll live forever and a day, and we continue on our merry way not worrying about the sins of the past. Not even casting a second glance.

We continue walking this risky path, never pondering "how long will all this last??"
Do we really think all these pleasures will remain for infinity. We have been warned all of this is temporary.

Soon a new day will dawn, dunya and everything we own will perish. So don't lose yourself in the adornments of the fast sinking ship known as the world.

Don't walk with pride on this land because one day soon our bones will be mingling with the sand. Think yourself superior to none, our deeds determine our rank and Allah alone will pass judgment.

The Ummah has gone astray, everyone's in disarray. Continuously obeying shaitaans whispers, repeatedly falling into his traps.

Our lives are crumbling before our eyes, yet we are doing nothing to stop this decline. Strangers in our own religion. Oblivious to every obligation.
In the past Muslims were stronger, fearing no one but Allah, they fearlessly defended our Deen. Conquering not only armies but millions of hearts with their beautiful character and undying devotion.

People of now seem to lack Emotion.
Do we ever sit and ponder... Our sins could be the reason for all this destruction. So much oppression and killing, so many earthquakes and flooding, hurricanes, tornados and tsunamis, just some of the punishments raining down in various countries.

We think we can fix all this with a display picture or a tweet. Rarely sparing a prayer for those oppressed and suffering, not ever sacrificing our sleep to plead with Allah to forgive us and always keep the Ummah safe.

We're not willing to change our lives, not willing to sacrifice for our Deen.

Our souls have been darkened by our continues sinning, and our hearts and minds blinded by desire and greed.

We have sight yet we cannot see, all of Allah's bounties, all of his beautiful creations.
The sun, the moon and the magnificent blue sea. Just some of the miracles surrounding thee.

We have ears but we dont hear or reply to Adhaan nor do we acknowledge the lectures given by the learned.
We have legs but dont use them to walk to Salaah.
We have eyes but when last have we used them to read Quraan?
All of these are bounties from your most merciful Lord.
Bounties upon bounties upon bounties.
Even though we've done nothing to deserve it.

We follow the western way blindly, never questioning there ridiculous ways or anything they say, following countless trends.
And we continue pretending we'll live forever and a day.

We say we yearn for Jannah, but we fail to direct our heart towards our sustainer.
Don't we realise, Jannah is not free it has to be earned.

Its not yet to late to start changing your ways, start banking rewards for the hereafter.

Never lose hope, and holds firm to the rope of Allah, His mercy encompasses all.
Loosen your hold on dunya, strive to perform actions thats will build you palaces in Jannah.

Pray that on the day of Qiyaamah, Jahannam rejects you and Jannah calls out to you.
Pray that Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم intercedes for you, and beckons you to drink from
Al-Kauthar.

Proclaim your Shahaadah.
Perform you Salaah.
Give Zakaah.
Fast in Ramadhan.
And go for hajj if u have means.

Never stop trying to strengthen your Imaan.
Never stop striving for the status of Mu'min.
Embrace your Deen fully, let it be seen on you wherever you may go.
Have full Yaqeen in Allah and soon you will be reclining on beautiful thrones, dining on the finest foods, enjoying entrancing views as Kings and Queens in Jannah!

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and do not show mercy on us, surely we are of the losers."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good.

آمين يارب العالمين

I Wish You Knew... (Author Unknown)

I Wish You Knew
 
Recently I’ve just been hearing about the moral degeneration of our society and how many of the things we do or believe stem from ignorance. So I thought I’d pen down all the things I wish people knew. Dont just read this but ponder over it too. Please share with your loved ones, friends, contacts etc because I wish they knew too…

I wish you knew that rizq is predetermined by Allah so that you would stop chasing wealth.

I wish you knew that haraam relationships can never lead to happiness and bliss.

I wish you knew the sweetness of waiting rather than engaging in zina before marriage.

I wish you knew that you should hide your sins for Allah dislikes us broadcasting our sins.

I wish that you knew that it’s NOT ok to watch 50 shades of grey.

I wish that you knew that giving in charity does not diminish your funds, it earns you good deeds which is the currency of the hereafter.

I wish you knew the importance of bringing your children up with good morals and values and not letting them run wild.

I wish that you knew that your success and your wealth are not a direct result of how hard you work or what degree you have, it is a blessing bestowed on you by Allah. If He willed you could lose it in an instant.

I wish that you knew that intentionally missing a salaah can leave you out of the fold of Islam, so that you would not let them pile up.

I wish that you knew how privileged you are and how badly people out there suffer.

I wish that you knew that when you leave the house without a scarf on you are no longer safe from Allah’s punishment.

I wish that you knew that peace is to be found in the remembrance of Allah.

I wish that you knew that trials and hardships don’t mean that Allah doesnt love you or listen to you, instead they are tests from Allah that are meant to purge you of your sins.

I wish that you knew that the harder your test, the greater Allah’s love is for you.

I wish that you knew how music affects you, how it hardens your heart and how dangerous it really is.

I wish that you knew that swearing does not make you cool, it earns you sins.

I wish that you knew that having a new car or a beautiful house doesn’t mean that you’re successful.

I wish that you knew that a man who has no protective jealousy over the women in his family and lets them leave the house displaying their beauty will never enter Jannah.

I wish that you knew that when people point out your wrongs and advise you to do good they’re not judging you. They only want to help you.

I wish that you knew that money can’t buy you Jannah.

I wish that you knew that you will leave behind all of your possessions and take only your deeds to the grave.

I wish that you knew that even if we were to bury you with all your wealth it would not benefit you.

I wish that you knew that the poor will enter Jannah before the rich do.

I wish that you knew that this world is temporary so you wouldn’t get too comfortable here.

I wish that you knew that death does not discriminate against age, wealth, health or gender.

I wish that you knew how fortunate you are to be Muslim instead of adopting the lifestyle of the disbelievers.

I wish that you knew the beauty of Islam and the beauty behind Allah’s commands.

I wish you knew ....

Clouded Emotion

We always trying to copy one another
One trying to better the other.
Everyone so focused on gaining worldly success they willing to put down their brothers and sisters in the process.

Friend turning on Friend.
Family turning on Family.
All because of one emotion.. JEALOUSY.

It clouds the mind and kills the heart leaving you thoughtless and emotionless not caring who you hurt.
You desire what others have and you become malicious and hateful instead of acknowledging your own countless bounties and being grateful.

You become greedy no longer bothering about the needy. Buying things that are unnecessary, hoping it will make you happy, but all these things still leave you feeling empty, lonely devoid of tranquility.

Because wordly things can't bring you true joy, you were blinded by emotion, you failed to realise that everything they have is only due to Allahs infinite generosity.

You thought success and contentment to be in cash and kind, you allowed these thoughts to overtake your mind.

How could you forget that Rizq comes only from Ar-Razaaq!

Now you've awoken from your trance and everything is different at a second glance.

Your infatuation has abated, you look around and asses your situation and you find your eyes fill with tears of repentance, now you've finally noticed your own abundance of sustenance.

Your heart is filled with gratitude and your jealous attitude falls away like a wilted flower flying away from a tree.

And new buds begin to blossom.

Your life becomes happier.
You've walked the road of redemption and the road you now tread is one of contentment.

The Time To Change Is NOW!


Oh Ummah of Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم..
When are we gonna stop all of our wrongs?
Next week? Next month? Next year?
No! Then it might be to late.

We have to STOP TODAY ! NOW!
STOP watching movies NOW!
STOP listening to music NOW!
STOP going out dressed inappropriately NOW!
STOP backbiting NOW!
STOP picking out others faults NOW!
STOP mingling with members of the opposite gender NOW!
STOP! STOP! STOP NOW!

We claim that we love Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, yet we dont ever follow his way!
We don't follow His sunnah! We don't read Quraan! We don't strive to follow His example!
Our actions contradict his lifestyle and what He ﷺ taught in every way!
Do you call that love ???
I don't!!

Yes we LOVE celebrities,sports stars and famous people. We strive to be like them, look like them, walk like them, talk like them and live like them..
We wish they knew who we are, but they don't.
And even if they did they don't care about us.

My Habib Muhammad ﷺ cried for YOU and I, He used to cry so much that His mubarak beard used to be soaked with tears. And He used to stand so long in Salaah pleading to Allah for us that His mubarak feet used to swell.
 "Ummati, Ummati.. My Ummah, My Ummah"
That was His concern.
He Loves YOU and I.
He wants to be with us in Jannah.
On the day of Qiyaamah when every single Prophet (A.S) and every human being will be saying "Ya Rabbi Nafsi Nafsi, Oh Allah Save me, Save Me"

He صلى الله عليه وسلم will say"Ya Rabbi Ummati Ummati, Oh Allah My Ummah, My Ummah"
Yet we still choose the ways of Kuffar. Do we want to be with them in Jahannam???
Because we will be raised with those who we love on the day of Qiyaamah, and it seems that we love them and their ways more than our own Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم and our Deen.

But it is not to late to change.
Change NOW!
Make a firm intention that you are going to change for the better today.
Even if you start slowly, removing small sinful actions from your life one at a time.
Start implementing small Sunnahs one at a time.
Spend more time with Allah conscious people and people who constantly remind you of Allah.
Distance yourself from people who encourage you to indulge in sinful acts.
Listen to Inspirational Islamic talks.

Don't worry about what people will say, or what they will think. Do this for yourself.
To make your Dunya, Qabr and Aakhirah better.
Turn to Allah and repent sincerely, cry to your Lord.
He is waiting for you!
He is waiting to Forgive you!
Turn to him sincerely. Humbly.
It doesn't matter how much you might have sinned! Allah is willing to forgive you if you jst turn to Him!
Follow the Sunnah of Muhammad Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم..
Build a strong connection with Allah

Leave the Kaafir culture behind.
Leave their way of dressing behind.
Leave their way of living behind.
Leave their way of speaking behind.
Leave everything of theirs behind.
And start following the way taught by Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم!
This is the way of success.
The way of happiness.
The way of peace.

Allah give us all the ability to practice upon what has been written.
May he forgive our sins and accept our efforts.
Aameen.

Surah Ambiya: Verse 107:
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

And We have not sent you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) but as a mercy to the worlds.

Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 14:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْخِلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ

Surely Allah will cause those who believe and do good deeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, surely Allah does what He pleases.

Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 104:
وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful.

Surah Ash-Shuara, Verse 83:
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good.

Truth in Time: By Naseera binte Ismaeel™

Oh, how quick time flies by
It's Friday, It's Monday
Oh, it's another week gone by
Then a month
Then an annum
One year...
Two years...
What have we done?
Moments in tears
Moments of joy
All memories passed by
Forgotten words
Forgotten actions
Marking the world of a passerby
Life is but a moment in time
In the everlasting next life
just a memory...
Our current actions determining our destination
A destination we hope will be
Joy and blissful eternity ...

Emerging From My Shell

Imprisoned by my own dark thoughts.
It seems like a tunnel with no exit or light at the end. Like a dark cloud without a silver lining.

I'm holding myself back with regrets of things already passed, and worrying of things yet to occur. I seem to be colouring my life in black and white. To scared to get out of my comfort zone or explore.

I'm living in a shell, and i keep closing it tighter and retreating further.
Trying to keep pain and sorrow out.
I'm trying so hard to protect myself,
i havnt realised i have actually trapped myself.

Now I've become so comfortable in my shell, that i don't want to leave it.
I want to remin clamped between its musty walls, wallowing in my thoughts, wandering along its narrow passages aimlessly. It's become the place i call home, everything else seems foreign to me.

I need to start chipping away at these walls before they close in and suffocate me.
I need to get out and start living life.

But I've bee in this shell so long that the real world scares me now. I dont know if i can fit in anymore. I'll feel alien, out of place, like i don't belong.
Thats how i always feel, and i end up crawling back into my shell and i don't emerge again for days or weeks sometimes even months.

I always wonder what i need to do to fit in.
I've been trying so hard to be like everyone else, trying to imitate others, trying to hard to be someone I'm not. Only now do I realise i don't have to fit in, I don't WANT to fit in.

I just want to be happy with myself.
And as long as i do those things that are pleasing to Allah what people say doesn't matter.

Now that i have acknowledged this fact maybe I'll finally be able to rid myself of this shell.
I have to leave it behind along with all my grief sorrows and fears, and i have to stop my tears.

I have to emerge a different person.
I have to stop trying to please people and strive to please Allah alone.
I have to stop relying on people and rely only on Allah.
Because Allah never leaves me or lets me down.

Now that i have realised this, i can come out of my musty shell, and i don't ever have to return.
As long as i follow these few simple rules in my life i will remain happy and content not matter what trials i face or what life throws at me, i will remain strong.

Its time to add some colour to my life.
Its time to emerge from my shell!

With Your Name

Your words are the medication that cures my aching heart.

It is what repairs me everytime i break.

The sweetness of your words removes all bitterness from my heart and soul,
and it cures my ears of all the harsh words it hears.
Verily in your remembrance does my heart find rest.

Every time I think i cannot go on anymore, I remember that your plan is the best plan, and i find myself calming down.

Everytime i find myself plagued by sin, i remember that you are Ar-Rahmaan and Ar-Rahim and i turn to you in supplication.

Not once did your words ever fail to comfort me, or bring contentment to my conflicted soul.

You are the glue that keeps me from crumbling.

I disobey your commands blatantly but still your Rahmah remains.

I fall into Shaitans traps repeatedly but still You always hear my every plea.

You are the only light in this world that is dark.

And your words are roses in a world full of thorns.

Your promises are the only ones that remain true when every other is empty.

The sound of your words causes screaming babies to quite down
And it causes the most tough man to collapse in tears.

Just by taking your name I can conquer fears I never thought I could, and i am able to do things I never thought I would.

Its with your name I awake in the morning and it is with your name that I go to sleep in the evening.

Your words obliterates my fears and fills me with hope.

You are المؤمن - The Giver of Peace
You are المهيمن - The Giver of Protection
You are السميع - The All Hearing
You are البر - One who treats with kindness
You are اللطيف - The knower of inner most Secrets.
You are الرزاق - The Sustainer
You are الحفيظ - The Protector

You are My Allah
And I am your humble, struggling slave.

Your Words are the Qur'aan.
The final scripture, sent to the best of mankind Muhammad Mustafa صلى الله عليه وسلم.
A mercy unto mankind.

He is my Nabi, he is my Habib صلى الله عليه وسلم.

And i praise and thank You (SWT) for making me a Muslim from among his Ummah.

I supplicate to thee
To make me steadfast in my Deen.
To forgive my sins.
To grant me the strength to fight my nafs(desires).
To always keep me on Siratul Mustaqeem(The Straight Path) .
And to make me a means of guiding others.

Ameen Ya Rabbal Alameen.

The Power Of Words

Sometimes words flow from my mouth like how water flows from a spring, freely and without hesitation.
Yet at others times i am so silent one might think i am mute.

Sometimes I feel like no amount of words will be able to describe how i feel and no amount of ink will be sufficient to write out my thoughts.
Yet at other times my paper remains without words for days.

Sometimes the emotions and thoughts swirling through my mind and heart are in perfect harmony, and i am easily able to weave them into a perfect pattern of words.
Yet at other times it is so jumbled and incoherent that even the most skilled writer will not be able to make sense of it.

Sometimes the words that spill from my pen are of pure ecstasy and bliss. Yet at other times they are of sadness, pain and longing.

Sometimes a few words can capture my feelings perfectly and at other times i feel like a million words will not be enough.

Often i find myself getting lost in words, yet at others times i am at a loss for words.

Its amazing how much emotion ink can portray.

Words are my sanctuary. Writing is my way of escaping from reality.

With writing i am able to express my every fear and hope. My every dream and my ever joy.

Words properly woven have the ability to inspire and motivate they also have the ability to degrade and depress.
So be sure to use your words wisely, whether written or spoken.

Words can make us or Words can break us.

Words can heal or they can scar.
I pray that my words (spoken and written) inspire and soothe. For it breaks my heart to think my words could be the reason someone is sad or despondent.

If you have been given the ability to give expression to the pen.
Make sure you use it for good and not for harming others by insulting and name calling.

If u have been gifted with the ability to speak in public make sure you do not spread lies and cause disunity.

Think before using your words (written and spoken), because the wounds inflicted by words often go deeper and take longer to heal then wounds inflicted by swords.

Only the recipient of the words knows how deep the words might have cut or how wonderfully they might have healed an old scar.

Words are a very powerful weapon so do not brandish it carelessly.

Sometimes words are a blessing (when used for good) and other times they are a curse (when used to harm).

Words (spoken & written) have the ability to start wars, they also have the ability to end them.

Words can Allure you.
Words can captivate you.
Words can Beguile you.
Words can Distract you.
Words can cause Happiness.
And Words can cause Sadness.

Words have the power to do all of the above and so much more yet it is said that
"the most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them".

Even though we think we know so much about words, writing and speech, in reality it is still a mystery and there is so much that remains unsolved.
So much we have yet to discover about its use.

Even though I feel as if i can go on writing about words forever I still don't think i will ever be able to scratch the surface of its true essence.

The Fault In Ourselves

We think we are the best, better than all the rest

We seem to be in daze, unable to differentiate through the haze of what is good and bad, and in our lives we continue to accommodate that which  has been forbidden.

We seem to have removed the word modesty from our vocabulary and now nudity has become all too common.

And yet we wonder about every calamity that befalls us.

It is us who have brought Allah's wrath,
with our reckless ways.
Yet we seem clueless.

Our Nabi's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) sunnah we have neglected, and the way of his enemy we have selected.

Our role models are no longer Sahabah or The Pious, rather it is Actors, Sports stars, Singers and Fashion Designers.

We claim to be intelligent and smart, yet at every juncture in our life we are choosing the wrong path.

We are never ready to Don Hijab or grow a beard, we'll do these things when we're older perhaps? We seem to have forgotten there's no guarantee that we will live till we are Twenty let alone Sixty.

We have time to study huge books on biology and psychology, but reciting Qur'aan has become a thing of the past.

We can spend hours catching up on Books and Movies, yet when it is time for Salaah we are too tired.

And we hardly make time for dua unless we are struck with a calamity.
(Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return. Surah Ar-Room, Verse 41)

We never stop to assess the impact our negligence has on our daily lives, we just don't seem to notice the lack of real Happiness and Tranquility.
If Allah is not the center of our focus how do we expect to achieve Serenity?

Dancing and parties have become a norm, and in participating we see no wrong.

We fall asleep with songs blasting in our ears, and we seem to have no fears.

We scoff when told to change and repent because "YOLO" is now the latest trend.

We spend thousands on all kinds of useless items , yet we hardly give charity because suddenly we don't have enough money.

We are quick to point out everyones faults, but we never contemplate over nor correct our own.

We are never satisfied with anything , we are always dwelling on what could've been.
When will  we start appreciating instead of complaining?

We crave attention and praise and reject any sort of correction because we think we ARE perfection.

Profanity has become a normality.
Politeness has become a formality.

We let our desires blind us.
And we fulfill all of Shaitans whispers.

Our brains it seems have been drained of common sense.

And we perceive the ways of the west
to be the best.

We celebrate what they celebrate (Birthdays, Valentines day etc) and we mourn when they mourn (for celebrities etc),
Its time we stop and think this through, for do we wish to be raised with them on Judgment Day too?

Our lives have become nothing but amusement and play and we seem to have forgotten about the Day of Resurrection and Reckoning.

Our minds are polluted,
not once do we stop and contemplate on all the wrong we have done.

Our path seems to be heading to Jahannam yet we claim to be seeking Jannah?!

Never forget your final abode, six feet down in the ground alone and covered with sand.

As scary as the thought may seem,
it's the only guarantee in this life.
Death knows no age or time,
Our souls will depart in the blink of an eye.

So be cautious which path you tread for one will lead to Eternal Happiness and the other to Eternal Misery.

What If

What if?

What if i keep saying I'm not ready, when actually i really am.

What if i keep saying no when the answer is actually yes.

What if i keep saying i can't when really, i can.

What if i keep saying I'm fine, when in reality I'm not.

What if i keep denying everything I feel because I'm scared no one will care.

What if i keep saying the opposite of what's true because i don't want to bother another with my problems.

What If?

What if i keep picking myself up every time i fail, when all I want to do is stay down and cry.

What if I look calm when I'm actually a storm.

What if I say I'm over it when actually its all i think about.

What if?

What if we are all telling lies to protect ourselves.

What if we are afraid to let another in.

What if we let down our guard once in awhile and let someone help us deal with the turmoil inside.

What if we are surprised and we find somebody like us, or somebody willing to be by our side.

What if we don't have to weather our storms alone.

What if all we need is someone to hold our hand through the wind and the rain.

What if we find someone who will show us light when all we see is darkness, and a rainbow when all we see is rain.

What if we find someone who will show us the sun behind the clouds, and the roses instead of the thorns.

And what if one day we stop talking in riddles and start talking whole truths again.

What if one day we are able to come out of our cages and express ourselves freely.

Oh what if.

The Best Kind of Husband

I finally figured out what kind of man makes the best husband (I won't say perfect, because no human being on the face of earth is perfect).

A man who has genuine love and fear of Allah.

A man who loves Rasulullah ﷺ, and follows his Sunnahs.

A man who loves the Qur'aan.

A man who reads about Sahaabah and pious people rather then sports players and actors.

A man who wakes up in the dead of night to pray tahajjud.

A man whose focus is not attaining Dunya but rather ultimately attaining Jannah and the pleasure of Allah.

Do you know why this man will make an Amazing husband?

Because he will look after you in the best way possible because he knows he is answerable to Allah if he mistreats you.

And he knows that Nabi ﷺ treated his wives with utmost care. And that He Nabi ﷺ said something to the effect that
"the most perfect believer in faith is the one whose character is finest and who is kindest to his wife. (Tirmidhi & Imam Majah) "

This kind of man will help you with household chores not because you asked or because he feels obliged, he will help you simply because it is Sunnah.

This kind of man will not lose his temper easily, and if he does he will stay out of your way until he cools down.

Because he knows that
"A moment of patience in a moment of anger can save a thousand moments of regret - (Ali Ibn Abi-Talib R.A) "

And he also knows that Nabi ﷺ said something to the effect that.
" A strong person is not the good wrestler, rather the strong person is the one who controls himself when he is angry- (Bukhari) "

He will not rebuke you if you do something he doesn't like, he will tell you where you went wrong, because he knows getting angry or irritated at you won't solve the problem, but keeping a calm head and addressing it will.

He won't sulk or be upset when you point out any of his bad habits, he knows you only trying to make him a  better person and he will do his best to rectify them.

He will lower his gaze, never looking at strange women, and you will always be most beautiful to him.

He will buy you gifts because Nabi ﷺ said something to the effect that
"Exchange gifts and increase affection amongst yourselves."

He will listen to you and advise you whenever needed.

When you have children he will be patient with them, and he will help you raise them, for he knows that they are an Amaanah sent by Allah.

He will remind you of Allah when you go through any difficulty, when you see no light at the end of the tunnel he never wavers in his Faith/Yaqeen because Allah has promised that
"Verily After every hardship, there is ease" (Qur'aan 94:6)
And he knows that Allah never breaks his promises.

He will not be lazy, or miserly etc.
And he will constantly seek protection from these things by reading the dua taught to us by Nabi ﷺ
"O'Allah i seek refuge in you from distress and grief, and i seek refuge with you from miserliness and cowardice, and i seek refuge in you from the burden of debt and from being overpowered by men"(Bukhari)

He will be fun and have a sense of humor as well, he'd practice on what Nabi ﷺ used to do - play and have light hearted moments with his wives.

Umar bin Khattab رضي الله عنه Said "A man should be like a child with his wife, happy and easy going. But if she needs him he should act like a man."

He will be handsome, because of his Sunnah beard, and he'll have the radiance of Imaan on his face.

He will be all of the above and so much more.

He will definitely be the best husband any women could dream of simply because of his love for Allah, Muhammad ﷺ and the Qur'aan Karim.

You can call me crazy or a dreamer but i  am sure of it that men like this exist.

But you know why we don't find them?

Because we are not woman who Follow Allah and his Rasool ﷺ.

We do not love the Qur'aan.

And because we think that that the perfect husband is someone who is rich, modern and Handsome.

Girls nowdays don't worry to find out if the guy is a good practicing Muslim or if his a Haafidh, but rather they have to find out if he's a Doctor, engineer, CA etc.

If we change our focus on ourselves then Allah will send for us these kind of Amazing husbands.

And for those of you who are already married, my advice is the same.

Change yourselves first, add into your life qualities of the Sahaabiyah, and go back to Qur'aan and Sunnah and you will see Allah will put it in your  husbands heart to change as well.

The key to a happy life and a happy marriage is very simple yet effective, we complicate it.
And we look for happiness and peace in all the wrong places.

If we go back to basics, and start following Allahs commandments we will all live simpler happier lifes.

Insha'Allah.

آمين يارب العالمين
