“If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.”

Al-‘Allāmah Ibn Bāz - may Allāh have mercy on him - said:
“Difference in age between the husband and wife is not an impediment; whether he is older than her or she is older than him, it is not an impediment. The only thing that is important is that she is religious. If she is religious then take her even if she is older than you.”

Shaykh Uthaymeen رحمه الله said :
❝Supplicating for your parents during the Taraweeh or Tahajjud prayer is better than slaughtering 10 camels on their behalf.❞
[Al-Liqā Al-bāb Al-Maftūḥ, no. 115]
Abú Saʿīd al-Khudrī reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيَّ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ: “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah, “ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَةٍ without ithm (ie: sin), لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِثْمٌ، or cutting family ties in it, وَلَا قَطِيعَةُ رَحِمٍ، but that Allah will give him one of three answers: إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: He will quickly fulfil his supplication, إِمَّا أَنْ يُعَجِّلَ لَهُ دَعْوَتَهُ، He will store it for him in the Hereafter, وَإِمَّا يَدَّخِرَهَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، or He will divert an evil from him similar to it.” وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَكْشِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوءَ بِمِثْلِهَا "، They said, “In that case, we will ask for more.” قَالُوا: إِذًا نُكْثِرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (He ﷺ) said: “Allah has even more.” قَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ» Ibn Abī Shaybah, al-Muṣannaf 6/22 #29170 إبن أبي شيبة، مصنف ٦/٢٢ #٢٩١٧٠ https://shamela.ws/book/9944/33045 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]
When the Prophet’s (sallallahu alahi wasllam) daughter, Fatima (radhi allahu anha) complained about the hardship of serving the family, grinding corn and blisters on her hand, the Prophet taught his daughter a Dhikr, and said, “It is better for you than a servant.”
This is what he taught her;
Subhan Allah, 33 times,
alHamdulillah, 33 time,
and Allahu Akbar, 34 times
- before going to bed.
See, Saheeh al-Bukharee (vol. 8, book:75, no: 330)
Dhikr gives you strength; such that you can do with Dhikr what you cannot do without it!
Imam Ibnul-Qayyim writes in al-Waabil al-Sayyib (p. 77) under benefit no 61;
“The one who persists in doing that will find strength in his body that will make him independent of the need for a servant.”

Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Some women requested the Prophet ﷺ to fix a day for them as the men were taking all his time. فيه: أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ، قَالَتِ النِّسَاءُ: يَا رسول اللَّه غَلَبَنَا عَلَيْكَ الرِّجَالُ، فَاجْعَلْ لَنَا يَوْمًا مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، Thus, he promised them one day for religious lessons and commandments. فَوَعَدَهُنَّ يَوْمًا لَقِيَهُنَّ فِيهِ، فَوَعَظَهُنَّ، وَأَمَرَهُنَّ، Ibn Baṭṭāl, Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1/178 #39 ابن بطال، شرح صحيح البخارى ١/١٧٨ #٣٩ https://shamela.ws/book/10486/149 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com
