You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have unusual knowledge. and you don’t have to be super pious. You only need to be decent. Be sincere. Be real. Be straight up. Don’t be a fake. Don’t be like you think you try to act pious on the outside but you know what really happens in the inside. Be the best Muslim as you can be, that was what the Prophet SAW said. Do as much as you can.
– Sheikh Khalid YassinOur prophet, peace be upon him, said: “My ummah is fine as long as they eat Iftar as soon as possible and eat Suhur as late as possible.
– Al-Bukhari 2/241
None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for death, he should say: ‘O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me’.
–The Prophet SAW, as narrated by Anas bin Malik RAA
[Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 70, Hadith No.575]

“Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the pious” (25:74)
The most hated speech to Allah is when a man says to another man: ‘Fear Allah!’ and he replies: ‘Worry about your own self!’
– It was reported by Al-Asbahaanee in At-Targheeb (#739), and Sheikh Albani authenticated it in Silsilatul-Ahaadeethis-Saheehah (#2598)Goodness and comfort are for him who worships his Lord in a perfect manner and serves his master sincerely.
– Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم[Narrated Abu Hurairah, Sahih Bukhari Book 46, Hadith 725]
An extremely beautiful clip from one of the most amazing scholars and worshippers of our time, Sheikh Muhammad Mukhtar Ash-Shinqitee, from the holy city of Madinah. A translated extract from his lecture “Al Hayaat At-Tayyibah” (“The Goodly Life”), in which he discusses the realities of the life of this temporary world and man’s relationship with it, and most importantly his relationship with his Creator. Although the word “he” is used throughout the video, the Sheikh is referring to what affects all people men or women, and “he” was used for brevity.

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: If anyone extols Allah after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah thirty-three times, and declares His Greatness thirty-three times, ninety-nine times in all, and says to complete a hundred:” There is no god but Allah, having no partner with Him, to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him is praise due, and He is Potent over everything,” his sins will be forgiven even If these are as abundant as the foam of the sea.
