“Having a sickness of the heart is more difficult to bear than having a sickness of the body.”
—Imam Ali (as)
A few more days left! Sign the petition for Palestine..
We’re not that far away from the goal
Pass it on to your friends!
When we miss a plane, lose a job, or find ourselves unable to marry the person we want, have we ever stopped to consider the possibility that it may have been for our own good? Allah tells us in the Quran: “…But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.” (2:216)
“
Oh Allah…
I told you: I’m in pain,
You said: ‘Do not despair of the mercy of Allah (39:53).
I told you: I feel I’m alone,
You said: ‘We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein’ (50:16).
I told you: My sins are so many,
You said: ‘And who can forgive sins except Allah?’ (3:135).
I told you: I have many dreams that I want to come true;
You said: ‘Call upon Me, I will respond to you.’ (40:60)

When people insult you before they consult you, it’s clear that they have evil intentions.
Every minute counts - what can you do in 1 minute? →

1. In one minute you can recite Surah al-Faatihah 3 times, reciting rapidly (yet clearly) - silently or aloud. The hasanahs one can gain, not to mention, the right Guidance from ALLAH, are incomparable rewards to anything we can get from this material world.
2. In one minute you can recite Surah al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) 20 times, reciting rapidly (yet clearly) - silently or aloud. Reciting it once is equivalent to one-third of The Qur’an. The rewards for this are well-known.
3. You can read one page of The Qur’an in one minute.
4. You can memorize a short Aayah from The Qur’an in one minute.
5. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except ALLAH (SWT) alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things) – 20 times.
6. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praisebe to ALLAH (SWT)) 100 times to ask for forgiveness from ALLAH (SWT).
7. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaahil-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to ALLAH (SWT), glory be to ALLAH (SWT) the Almighty) 50 times. These are two phrases which are light on the lips, heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.
8. The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH (SWT) be upon him) said:”When I say ‘Subhaan-Allaah wa’l-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaah ill-Allaah,wa-allahu akbar (Glory be to ALLAH (SWT), praise be to ALLAH (SWT), there is no god except ALLAH (SWT), and ALLAH (SWT) is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Narrated in Muslim). In one minute, you can say all of these words more than 18 times. These words are the most beloved words to ALLAH (SWT), the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds, as was narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth.
9. In one minute you can say, Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah (ther eis no strength and no power except with ALLAH (SWT)) more than 40 times. This is one of the treasures of Paradise, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.They are a means of putting up with difficulties and of aiming to achieve great things.
10. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-ALLAH (SWT) approximately 50 times. This is the greatest word, for it is the word of Tawheed, the good word,the word that stands firm.
