1. ​The most beloved deed to Allah-

Narrated Ibn Mas`ud:

A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) "What deeds are the best?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "(1) To perform the (daily compulsory) prayers at their (early) stated fixed times, (2) to be good and dutiful to one's own parents, (3) and to participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause."

Sahih al bukhari 7534

1. ​The first deed to be asked about on the day of judgement-

Huraith bin Qabisah narrated:

"I arrived in Al-Madinah and said: 'O Allah! Facilitate me to be in a righteous gathering.'" He said: "I sat with Abu Hurairah and said: 'Indeed I asked Allah to provide me with a righteous gathering. So narrate a hadith to me which you heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) so that perhaps Allah would cause me to benefit from it.' He said: 'I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say: "Indeed the first deed by which a servant will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his Salat. If it is complete, he is successful and saved, but if it is defective, he has failed and lost. So if something is deficient in his obligatory (prayers) then the Lord, Mighty and Sublime says: 'Look! Are there any voluntary (prayers) for my worshipper?' So with them, what was deficient in his obligatory (prayers) will be completed. Then the rest of his deeds will be treated like that."

Jami attirmidhi 413

1. ​the encounter of the prophet and the man who prayed but didn’t pray - Narrated Abu Huraira:

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the mosque, a man came in, offered the prayer and greeted the Prophet. The Prophet returned his greeting and said to him, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed." The man offered the prayer again, came back and greeted the Prophet. He said to him thrice, "Go back and pray again for you have not prayed." The man said, "By Him Who has sent you with the truth! I do not know a better way of praying. Kindly teach Me how to pray." He said, "When you stand for the prayer, say Takbir and then recite from the Qur'an what you know and then bow with calmness till you feel at ease, then rise from bowing till you stand straight. Afterwards prostrate calmly till you feel at ease and then raise (your head) and sit with Calmness till you feel at ease and then prostrate with calmness till you feel at ease in prostration and do the same in the whole of your prayer." Sahih al bukhari 793

for those of us that had a relationship(the type worth fighting for) ruined because of a mistake

maybe this is the sign you and I need to forgive, to give grace, to remember the good times and how much good they brought to our lives and let it go

make that phone call, send that text message, mend the ties which have been broken

Trying to find joy where I’m at while I’m still there🥹

reflecting on a passage from the book - as long as the lemon trees grow

The episode I was talking about:

Episode 12 - When the Quran becomes your curriculum

https://youtu.be/5sErrvLXLl8?si=z6hxeWA2HkztaTdy

- Women of Quran Podcast

the episode on surahtul hadid will be up soon as well, insha Allah

‏{قل يا عبادي الذين اسرفوا على أنفسهم لا تقنطوا من الرحمة الله إن الله يغفر الذنوب جميعا إنه هو الغفور الرحيم}

Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins.1 He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Quran 39:53

The Hadith on how happy Allah is to due to the return of a slave:

Anas bin Malik Al-Ansari (MayAllah be pleased with him) the servant of the Messenger of Allah narrated:Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Verily, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His slave than a person who lost his camel in a desert land and then finds it (unexpectedly)".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In another version of Muslim, he said: "Verily, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than a person who has his camel in a waterless desert carrying his provision of food and drink and it is lost. He, having lost all hopes (to get that back), lies down in shade and is disappointed about his camel; when all of a sudden he finds that camel standing before him. He takes hold of its reins and then out of boundless joy blurts out: 'O Allah, You are my slave and I am Your Rubb'.He commits this mistake out of extreme joy".

My Brain Has 47 Tabs Open is a reflection on mental noise, the pull of fresh starts, and the quieter work of staying. Lately I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to chase the excitement of new plans, new routines, and the feeling of beginning again - while forgetting that real growth usually asks for something less dramatic. In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to step into spaces that stretch you, the discomfort of realizing how much you still have to learn, and why not every open tab needs a reset. Sometimes growth is simply staying long enough to be shaped.

As we enter Dhul-Qa’dah, one of the sacred months, this episode is a gentle reminder that not all time is the same.

Allah says:

“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months… of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them…” (Surah At-Tawbah 9:36)

And the Prophet ﷺ said:

“The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive months—Dhul-Qa’dah, Dhul-Hijjah, and Muharram—and Rajab…” (Bukhari & Muslim)

A short reflection on becoming more aware of sacred time, and how even small actions can carry greater weight within it.

Wa Allahu a‘lam.

commitment in order to get to Allah’s love

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، 

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ 

"‏ سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنْ لَنْ يُدْخِلَ أَحَدَكُمْ عَمَلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَنَّ أَحَبَّ الأَعْمَالِ أَدْوَمُهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ، وَإِنْ قَلَّ ‏"

Narrated `Aisha:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise, and that the most beloved deed to Allah is the most regular and constant even if it were little."
