Abu Hurairah RA reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ

Verily Allah does not look to your faces and your wealth but He looks to your heart and to your deeds.

Sahih Muslim (2564)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَشَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

“O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done.”

Sahih Muslim (2716)

• This du’a is asking for protection from the negative consequences of both actions taken and actions not taken, recognizing human fallibility and seeking divine assistance in all matters.

Abu Hurairah reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying:

انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكُمْ فَهُوَ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا تَزْدَرُوا نِعْمَةَ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ

“Look at those who stand at a lower level than you but don’t look at those who stand at a higher level than you, for that is better-suited that you do not disparage Allah’s favors.”

Sahih Muslim (2963)

• May Allah SWT make us among His grateful servants. Amen.

اللَّهُمَّ لَا سَهْلَ إِلاَّ ما جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً، وأنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً

O Allah! There is no ease except that which You make easy, and You make difficult things easy if You will.

Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Da’awat Al-Kabir (266) and Ibn Hibban (974).

• May we all be granted ease in all our affairs in life and be facilitated in making all decisions wisely.

Daripada Ummu Salamah R.anha, bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda:

إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَرِيضَ، أَوِ الْمَيِّتَ، فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ

Maksudnya: “Apabila kamu menghadiri (menziarahi) orang sakit atau jenazah, maka ucapkanlah perkara-perkara yang baik. Ini kerana, malaikat akan mengaminkan setiap yang kamu ucapkan.”

Riwayat Muslim (919)

‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَاىَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

Maksudnya: ” Ya Allah, perbaikilah agamaku sebagai benteng urusanku, perbaikilah duniaku yang menjadi tempat kehidupanku, perbaikilah akhiratku yang menjadi tempat kembaliku, jadikanlah Ya Allah kehidupan ini mempunyai nilai tambah bagiku yang memberikan segala kebaikan dan jadikanlah kematianku sebagai kebebasan dari segala kejahatan.”

Riwayat Muslim (2720)

Daripada Abdullah bin ‘Amru, dari Nabi ﷺ baginda bersabda:

يُقَالُ يَعْنِي لِصَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ اقْرَأْ وَارْتَقِ وَرَتِّلْ كَمَا كُنْتَ تُرَتِّلُ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ مَنْزِلَتَكَ عِنْدَ آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَأُ بِهَا

Maksudnya: “Pada hari pengadilan kelak akan diseru kepada (sohibul Quran) ahli Al-Quran; Teruskanlah bacaan al-Quran mu dan teruskanlah menaiki tingkat demi tingkat syurga dan  bacalah dengan tartil sebagaimana kamu membacanya ketika di dunia, sesungguhnya tempat terakhirmu ada pada ayat terakhir yang kamu baca.”.

Riwayat al-Tirmizi (2914)

One of the sunnah prayers that every Muslim is strongly advised to conduct is the Dhuha prayer. The prayer, which is also referred to as al-Awwabin prayer, begins after the sun rises.

 Furthermore, the Prophet PBUH advised Abu Hurairah RA to never leave Dhuha prayer:

أَوْصَانِيْ خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلاَثٍ: صِيَامِ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ، وَرَكْعَتَي الضُّحَى، وَأَنْ أُوتِرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنَامَ

“My friend (the Prophet (ﷺ) advised me to observe three things: (1) to fast three days a month; (2) to pray two rak`at of Dhuha prayer (forenoon prayer); and (3) to pray witr before sleeping.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (1880) and Sahih Muslim (721)

One benefit of the Dhuha prayer is that two rakaats are the same as our body’s 360 joints being donated.

This hadith is narrated by Imam Muslim:

From Abi Zar RA, the Prophet PBUH said:

يُصْبِحُ عَلَى كُلِّ سُلَامَى مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ، فَكُلُّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلُّ تَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلُّ تَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلُّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَأَمْرٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَنَهْيٌ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَيُجْزِئُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رَكْعَتَانِ يَرْكَعُهُمَا مِنَ الضُّحَى

“In the morning charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah’s glorification is an act of charity. Every utterance of praise of Him is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Oneness is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Greatness is an act of charity, enjoining good is an act of charity, forbidding what is distreputable is an act of charity, and two rak’ahs which one prays in the forenoon will suffice.”

Sahih Muslim (720)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ

Meaning: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the difficulty of trials, from the misery of adversity, from the evil of fate, and from the joy of enemies.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (6347)

• Heavy trials are for great people. Every time we successfully endure a trial, we indeed become stronger individuals.
• May whatever trials and tribulations we need to face today be faced with strength, patience, and faith. Let us hope we remain steadfast for the days ahead.

Narrated Abu Hurairah RA, The Prophet ﷺ said:

لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ ، وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ

“Wealth is not in having many possessions, but rather (true) wealth is feeling sufficiency in the soul.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (6446)
