Surahtul Kahf Reflections pt.1 | the test of majority

Season 2 · Episode 5

Friday, February 6, 2026 • Duration 42:30

-just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s right

remember to read surahtul kahf and send salawat upon the Prophet🤍

Abū Sa'id reported the Prophet as saying, “If anyone recites sūra al-Kahf (Qur’ān, 18) on Friday, light will shine brightly for him till the next Friday.”

Baihaqī transmitted it in [Kitāb] al-Da‘awāt al-kabir.

About the sun being close to the heads of people on Yaumul Hisaab:

Miqdad b. Aswad reported:

I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) as saying: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun would draw so close to the people that there woum be left only a distance of one mile. Sulaim b. Amir said: By Allah, I do not know whether he meant by" mile" the mile of the (material) earth or dn instrument used for applying collyrium to the eye. (The Prophet is, however, reported to have said): The people would be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their. knees, Some up to the waist and some would have the bridle of perspiration and, while saying this, Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) pointed his hand towards his mouth.

Sahih Muslim 2864

About a young person that grows up in the worship of Allah being shaded on that day:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons are) a just ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood), a man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the mosque in congregation), two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only, a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah, a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity), and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears."

Şahih al-Bukhari (660).

A brief correction- The sunnah of salam

Wednesday, January 21, 2026 • Duration 02:08

In this brief episode, I make a small but important clarification regarding the wording of the salām used in some of my older episodes.

After revisiting the Qur’an and Sunnah, I learned that the complete and authentic form of the salām taught by the Prophet ﷺ is: Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh, and that additional wording I previously used is not from the Sunnah.

This episode is simply a correction, a reminder, and a reflection on the importance of precision in our words of worship. Any good is from Allah, and any mistake is from myself.

May Allah teach us what benefits us and benefit us with what He teaches us.

3 tips to stop that sin | How to Avoid Sin

Season 2 · Episode 6

Tuesday, January 13, 2026 • Duration 10:28

3 Steps to Leave a Sin Behind, may Allah protect us from all sins ,🥹 those that are obvious and those that are hidden , the major sins and the minor sins , the public sins and the private sins , the sins we have committed and the sins we have yet to commit,🥹 ya rabbi please ya Allah forgive us

Sins are not forbidden without reason. Every sin is filthy, harmful, and destructive - damaging the heart, weakening iman, and distancing us from Allah swt.

To leave a sin behind, we must begin with three things:

Acknowledge the reality of the sin - what Allah has made haram is filthy and harmful, even if the nafs tries to beautify it.
Remember that Allah is watching - He is Ar-Raqib. Don’t silence the inner voice that reminds you that Allah sees you.
Repent constantly - no matter how many times you fall. Keep returning to Allah until the devil loses.

Resisting a sin out of fear and shyness before Allah earns a full good deed, and striving against your desires makes you a fighter in the sight of Allah.

Never give up on tawbah.

Keep returning. Keep fighting.

an act of worship that is paradise on earth

Season 2 · Episode 5

Friday, January 9, 2026 • Duration 23:11

The video I read the subtitles of

“You’ll Never Miss Tahajjud After watching this! - Ali Hammuda”

Qiyam Al-Layl ( The Standing at Night - Night Prayer) is a confirmed Sunnah. Qiyam Al-Layl plays a great role in strengthening one's faith and helping one to do good deeds.

Allah praises those who have faith and are pious for their noble characteristics and good deeds, one of the most special of which is Qiyam Al-Layl.

It is one of the means of avoiding the punishment of Hell and attaining Paradise.

The Prophet pbuh said the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.

Full Hadith:

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) was asked as to which prayer was most excellent after the prescribed prayer, and which fast was most excellent after the month of Ramadan. He said:

Prayer offered in the middle of the night and the most excellent fast after (fasting) in the month of Ramadan is the fast in God's month al-Muharram.

Sahih Muslim 1163

Season 2 · Episode 5

Sunday, December 21, 2025 • Duration 14:58

An appreciation post for our mutual best friend 🥹 (even if we don’t feel deserving of that claim)

Because this has to be the best friend ever

A friend that picks up our calls even when we’ve left it for a year.

A friend that manages to want the best for us even when we chose to be distant

A friend that wants the best for us no matter what happens

A friend that accepts us at every stage in our lives

The book preserved by Allah for you and I🥹

In this episode , I also shared a lesson I learned about the Prophet complaining to Allah about how The people abandoned the Quran,

Surah Al-Furqan (25:30),

the Prophet s.a.w says,

"O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned," .

the lesson was about the 5 types of abandonment of the Quran:

Reciting it
Listening to it
Using it as a cure
Using it as a Judge
Acting upon it

According to a narration in al-Bukhari, the Holy Prophet ﷺ asked

A Guide to Istikhara, the Prayer for Guidance | Blog

The dua:

Istikhara du’a in Arabic:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ

Transliteration of the du’a of istikhara:

Allahumma innee astakheeruka bi ‘ilmika wa astaqdiruka bi qadratika wa as’aluka min fadlika al-’adheem fa innaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru wa ta’lamu wa la a’lamu wa anta ‘allaam ul-ghuyoob. Allahumma in kunta ta’lamu anna haadha al-amra khayrun lee fee deenee wa ma’aashee wa ‘aaqibati amree faqdurhu lee wa yassirhu lee thumma baarik lee feehi wa in kunta ta’lamu anna haadha al-amara sharrun lee fee deenee wa ma’aashee wa ‘aaqibati amree fasrifhu ‘annee wasrifnee ‘anhu waqdur lee al-khayra haythu kaana thumma ardinee bih

The importance of knowledge in Islam

Season 2 · Episode 1

Tuesday, July 29, 2025 • Duration 32:26

In the first episode of the season, we reflect on the weighty status knowledge holds in our dīn. From the very first command revealed “Read!” to the praise of those who fear Allah due to what they know, Islam consistently upholds knowledge as a path to Paradise and a sign of Allah’s favor.

We explore Qur’ānic verses and hadīth that emphasize the responsibility of seeking, acting upon, and sharing beneficial knowledge especially knowledge of the religion. The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, and those who sincerely carry and teach this light are promised ongoing reward, even after their death.

May Allah increase us in knowledge that benefits and grant us sincerity in both seeking and applying it.

Tune in and let your heart be reminded of why learning in Islam isn’t optional ,it’s essential.

May Allah increase us in beneficial knowledge and make us people who live what we know. Ameen.
