HADITH OF THE DAY
وعنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "كل أمتي معافًى إلا المجاهرين، وإن من المجاهرة أن يعمل الرجل بالليل عملاً، ثم يصبح وقد ستره الله عليه فيقول: يا فلان عملت البارحة كذا وكذا، وقد بات يستره ربه، ويصبح يكشف ستر الله عنه" ((متفق عليه)) .
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Every one of my followers will be forgiven except those who expose (openly) their wrongdoings. An example of this is that of a man who commits a sin at night which Allah has covered for him, and in the morning, he would say (to people): "I committed such and such sin last night,' while Allah had kept it a secret. During the night Allah has covered it up but in the morning he tears up the cover provided by Allah Himself."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Mercy And Not Vengeance
Anyone can repay pain with pain. The Sunnah teaches something greater.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was attacked, wounded, and his blessed face was injured at Uhud. Yet his response wasn't revenge.
It was du'ā.
«اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ»
«"O Allah, forgive my people, for they do not know."»
Abu Ḥātim (رحمه الله) said:
«يَعْنِي هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ لَمَّا شُجَّ وَجْهُهُ»
«"The Prophet said this supplication during the battle of Uhud when they slashed his face."»
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 985 — Ṣaḥīḥ
His mission never changed. He was sent as a mercy to the worlds, not a collector of grudges.
Imam al-Nawawī commented:
«فِيهِ مَا كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْحِلْمِ وَالتَّصَبُّرِ وَالْعَفْوِ وَالشَّفَقَةِ عَلَى قَوْمِهِمْ وَدُعَائِهِمْ لَهُمْ بِالْهِدَايَةِ وَالْغُفْرَانِ وَعُذْرِهِمْ فِي جِنَايَتِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ»
«"In this tradition is what the Prophet practiced of forbearance, patience, forgiveness, and compassion for his people, his supplication for them to receive guidance and to be forgiven, and for them to be excused for their sins as they did not know."»
Source: Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (12/150)
Mercy isn't the absence of strength. It's strength under Allah's command.
*AllaahuI Musta'aan*

The Response From Allāh
When Allah Responded to the Complaint of a Woman in Sūrah al-Mujādilah: A Timeless Lesson from Khawlah bint Thaʿlabah!
My dear brothers and sisters, there are moments in life when a person feels that no one truly hears him. He may carry a burden too heavy to describe, a grief too deep for words, or a pain that even those closest to him cannot fully comprehend. Yet the believer possesses a certainty that transforms every hardship: there is never a moment in which his Lord does not hear him.
Reflect upon the moving story of Khawlah bint Thaʿlabah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated by the Mother of the Believers, ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and authenticated by Imam al-Albānī in Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Mājah (no. 1691). After spending her youth with her husband, bearing him children and dedicating her life to him, he pronounced ẓihār upon her (a pre-Islamic practice whereby a husband declared his wife to be like the back of his mother, thereby treating her as unlawful for him like his mother).
With a heart weighed down by sorrow, she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, pouring out her distress before him and saying, “O Messenger of Allah, he consumed my youth, and I bore him many children. Then, when my age advanced and I could no longer bear children, he pronounced ẓihār upon me.” Finding no refuge except her Lord, she repeatedly turned her complaint to Him, saying, “O Allah, I complain to You.”
This conversation took place inside the house of the Prophet ﷺ. The Mother of the Believers, ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her), was present nearby. Despite being within the same house and close enough to hear Khawlah’s voice, some of her words escaped ʿĀʾishah because of how softly she spoke. Yet the words that escaped the hearing of the one nearest to her were heard in their entirety by Allah, the Lord above the seven heavens. Before Khawlah had even finished her complaint, Jibrīl descended with revelation:
﴿قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ﴾
“Indeed, Allah has heard the statement of she who disputes with you concerning her husband and complains to Allah. And Allah hears the dialogue between you both. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer.” (Sūrah al-Mujādilah, 58:1)
Witnessing this remarkable event, ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) exclaimed:
«تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي وَسِعَ سَمْعُهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، إِنِّي لَأَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ خَوْلَةَ بِنْتِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، وَيَخْفَى عَلَيَّ بَعْضُهُ»
“Blessed is the One whose hearing encompasses all things. Indeed, I could hear the speech of Khawlah bint Thaʿlabah, yet some of her words were hidden from me.”
How profound is this lesson for every believer. If Allah heard the quiet complaint of a distressed woman inside a house in Madinah and preserved it forever in His Book, then what of your supplication? What of the duʿāʾ you whisper in the depths of the night? What of the tears that fall when no eye sees you? What of the plea that never leaves your lips but remains imprisoned within your heart? Allah hears it all. No voice is too low, no language too unfamiliar, no sorrow too hidden, and no servant too insignificant for His perfect hearing.
Therefore, fill your heart with certainty in Allah’s beautiful Name, As-Samīʿ (the All-Hearing). Know that every supplication reaches Him, every whisper is heard by Him, and every sigh of the heart is known to Him. When this magnificent attribute becomes truly alive within your heart, loneliness gives way to tranquillity, anxiety is replaced with certainty, and your dependence upon the creation diminishes. You no longer seek relief through the pity of people before seeking it from your Lord, for you know that the One who heard Khawlah hears you as well. So complain to Him before you complain to the creation, raise your hands to Him before extending them to the people, and pour your heart out to Him with complete certainty, for no sincere supplication is ever lost with the One whose hearing encompasses all things.

Sufficient Sin For A Man Is To...
Salaamun 'alaykum wa rahmat-ul-lahi wa barakātuh
SUFFICIENT SIN FOR A MAN IS THAT HE NEGLECTS THOSE HE SHOULD PROVIDE FOR – EXPLANATION OF SHAYKH ‘ABDUL MUHSIN`
In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, may His Complete Salaah and Salaam be upon the finest of His Creation, His last Messenger Muhammad (ﷺ), and upon all his family members and companions, to proceed…
🎙️Abū dawūd reported the hadīth of Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr (Allāh be pleased with him), he said, “Allāh’s Messenger (sallallāhu alaihi wa salam) said”_l
“Sufficient sin for a man is that he neglects those he should provide for.”(1)*
🎙️SHAYKH ‘ABDUL MUHSIN (HAFIDAHULLĀH):
“Meaning, a person sins due to the absence of spending and providing on the one spending upon is obligated.
Regardless of whether that was due to him not seeking sustenance for them (by working), or if he was wealthy but was stingy and tightfisted with them.
Or perhaps he spends and gives optional charity to those who aren’t close to him, neglecting those who it is obligatory for him to spend on, from those close to him, (wife, children etc), so by doing this he fulfils a recommended act but abandons an obligation.
Indeed he is sinful because he abandons that which Allāh (‘azza wa jal) obligated upon him, from spending upon those it is obligated to provide for.
This is similar to the previous hadīth(2), Spend it on yourself, then your child, then your wife, then your servant, then he (sallallāhu alaihi wa salam) said: You have better knowledge; meaning: *after that, give charity to whomsoever you wish, or don’t, its entirely up to you.”
_🌐Slightly Paraphrased from Shaykh ‘Abdul Muhsin’s (hafidahullāh) explanation of this hadīth in his lessons on Sunan Abū Dawūd in the Prophets Masjid._
(1) Authenticated by Shaykh Al-Albāni Sahīh Sunan Abū Dawūd Hadīth Nos. 1692 Vol.1 Pg. 469
(2) Full wording of the Hadīth:
🎙️On the Authority of Abū Hurayrah, he said Allāh’s Messenger commanded with giving in charity. Then a man said, *“Oh Allāh’s Messenger! I have a dīnār?”
So Allāh’s Messenger said “Spend it in on yourself”.
He (the man) said, “I have another?”
(Allāh’s Messenger) said “Spend it on your offspring.”
He (the man) said, “I have another?”
(Allāh’s Messenger) said “Spend it on your wife.”
He (the man) said, “I have another?”
(Allāh’s Messenger) said “Spend it on your servant.”
He (the man) said, “I have another?”
(Allāh’s Messenger) said "You have better knowledge.”(On how to spend it, or give in charity to.)

If You Like...
"If you like, remove the niqāb and go back to Christianity..."
Ahn ahn.
Islam is not sustained by threats, emotional blackmail, or desperate pleading.
If a person wears the niqāb, let her wear it for Allah.
If a person leaves it, the sin is upon him or her.
And if someone chooses disbelief after guidance, that is a matter between them and Allah.
The Deen is greater than any individual. Islam existed before us and will remain after us.
So our call should be:
"Fear Allah and obey Him."
Not:
"Please stay, otherwise we will lose members."
Guidance is from Allah.
Our duty is to convey the truth with wisdom.

A Time Will Come...
Salaamun 'alaykum wa rahmat-ul-lahi wa barakātuh
A Time will come when a Man’s Own Thigh Informs Him of What His Family Did After He Left Them
🎙️Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
*"By the One in whose Hand is my soul, the Hour shall not come until wild beasts speak to mankind, and a man's whip-tip and sandal-strap speak to him, and his own thigh informs him of what his family did after he left them."
🎙️Shaykh Ḥammūd ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Tuwayjirī said:
These two signs, that a man's whip-tip should speak to him, and that his thigh should inform him of what his family did in his absence, are therefore signs which have not yet come to pass, and Allah knows best. Yet they are certain to occur and will indeed take place, given that the one informing us of them is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, speaking on behalf of his Lord, Mighty and Sublime is He.
Some contemporary researchers have suggested that what is intended by the speaking of the whip-tip, the sandal-strap, and the thigh may refer to the modern means of communication invented in our own era, such as mobile telephones and surveillance devices capable of transmitting even the faintest and most subtle of sounds.
It has also been said that this should be understood according to its apparent, literal meaning: that these are genuine signs to be taken at face value, in which the whip, the sandal-strap, and the thigh will speak actual, literal speech. And Allah knows best.
- 📚 Al-Tuwayjirī, Ḥammūd ibn ʿAbd Allāh (d. 1413 AH/1992 CE), Itḥāf al-Jamāʿah bimā Jāʾa fī al-Fitan wa al-Malāḥim wa Ashrāṭ al-Sāʿah (1/411).

Nobody Can Overpower You If...
Salaamun 'alaykum wa rahmat-ul-lahi wa barakātuh
_In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) ._
🎙️Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said,
"If you fear Allah, repent from your sins and seek His forgiveness, nobody can overpower you.”
📚 [Majmu Al-Fatawa, 178/1]
.
.
Allah says in surah al-Nisa':
[إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا]
If you avoid the major sins that you have been forbidden from, We will expiate your minor sins from you and admit you to a gracious entrance. [31]
🎙️Ibn 'Abbaas said, "The major sins are any sin which Allah has followed up with a mention of hellfire, His anger, a curse, or punishment."
He also said, "Their number is closer to seventy than seven."
And in another narration he said, "They are closer to seven hundred than seven, however no sin is major in the face of seeking forgiveness and no sin is minor in the face of persistence."
📚 [Tawfiq al-Rahman 1/261, with these narrations coming from Tafsir al-Tabari 8/246 and Tafsir al-Baghawi 2/202]
May Allaah accept our ibaadat, forgive our shortcomings and save us from Allaah's Anger, punishment of the Grave and Hellfire.
