We should strive to learn how the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions believed and acted, and implement them in our lives. How else would we act like them if we do not know how they acted? We should follow their footsteps, do what they did and stop where they stopped, that we may be from the pious.

We hear of people uttering statements which are totally alien to the Dīn (religion) of Allāh (عز وجل). Statements such as “Only Allāh can judge me”, or “It has nothing to do with you, so focus on yourself”. Know, may Allāh bless you, that Allāh (سبحانه) has commanded us not only to do good but, also to forbid evil.

Every nation was sent a messenger and all of those messengers came with one all-encompassing message, one purpose; Tawḥīd, commanding their people to worship Allāh Alone and to stay well away from false deities and all the paths that lead to such.

How many hours or even minutes of our days are spent in goodness? Do we constantly check and recheck ourselves? Do we renew our intentions? Do we work for the reward Allāh has promised for the good-doers? Or do we perceive death as a dream that will never become a reality?

So we affirm for Allah that which He affirmed for himself, He rose over His Throne in a way that befits His Majesty. So, How did He do it? In a way that suits His Majesty. Not in the manner you and I ascend over anything, not how ‘so and so’ explained it, but in a manner that suits His Majesty

Allāh mentioned that true believers are the best people ever raised. And what makes them so? They enjoin the good and forbid the evil! They promote and intercede in good causes, they call to the worship of Allāh alone and forbid all that is evil and despicable… They do not just stay silent like spectators when Allāh’s boundaries are crossed, and they are not mute devils.

Contrary to the popular belief of many of us youth, submitting to Allāh and His Messenger (ﷺ) is not only for the “pious ones”, rather it is upon us all, our teachers, and all of the creation to submit to Allāh, The Lord of all that exists.

Indeed true love necessitates that you do not only want to be with a person in this world, but the next as well, for this reason, we should all make efforts to strive alongside our families, friends and communities to seek the pleasure of Allāh and His Paradise, so that we may all dwell there eternally.

Whatever it is you’re chasing after in this Dunyā (world) at the expense of your Ākhirah (afterlife) I swear by Allāh it will perish, and only that which is with your Lord (ﷻ)  will remain.

He commanded with worshipping Him not only in Ramaḍān but until there comes to us certainty (death). We have been commanded to fight our desires up until the very end.

O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true: let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allâh. (Sûrah Luqmân:33)

The month of Ramadân is the month in which the Qurʾân was revealed, as well as some of the other divine books that were revealed to the Prophets that came before our Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadân out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî, 38].
