Dumbest take I've ever seen was somebody calling the Prince of Egypt movie "religious propaganda" - which sure is a funny way to spell "animated adaptation of one of the most important and well known stories of our civilization."
What part of the movie could even REMOTELY be considered propaganda? Seriously. Is the definition of propaganda 'anything presenting something I personally disaprove of under a positive light'? Is it "religious propaganda" because the story operates under the assumption that God is real (which, and it might come as a shock, is a belief shared by hundreds of millions of people)??
"Religious propaganda" smh. The goal of propaganda is to promote an ideology. The goal of Prince of Egypt is not to push religion onto non religious people - they're even not the target audience! Prince of Egypt exists to retell a beautiful story beloved by millions of people to those same people who love it, and their children. Also, Prince of Egypt doesn't deal with religion, it deals with faith, and those two concepts are distinct. They brought in Jewish, Christian and Muslims scholars to get the film right btw - which of those three very separate religions is the film being propaganda for exactly?
I broke my record. I lived in this forest for a month and a half. I didn't pay any money. There was only wind and nature.
And I understood this: the greatest enemy of humanity on this planet is the state, the system, and the rules.
Allah (God) created this planet for you. Not for you to sell to each other.

The part where Zachariah (AS) started to question the possibility of things after Allah sent him glad tidings of a son whose name will be John.
Zachariah (AS) thought his wife’s barrenness and him being old will make it impossible for them to have a child.
An Angel said to him “it will be, your lord says ‘it’s easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing’” (Surah Maryam: 9)
Now I’m thinking about all the times I ask Allah for certain things and because of the current trajectory of my life, I sometimes rethink my request because will this be possible???
It’s so easy for us to forget about the greatness and might of our Lord. This is the same Rabb who created the heavens and earth from nothing.
There is no limit to his bounties.

Pitter and patter
In the last third of the night
Pouring torrents,
A breathtaking sight
Lightning and thunder,
Signs of His Might
The bedrooms are dark,
But the hearts are alight
Tearful supplications,
To be guided aright
Cheeks are soaked,
Like the earth outside
Iman swelling,
As if the high tide
If the skies weep in His fear,
My eyes shall do the same
May the sins be washed away,
In the late night rains
A believer never enjoys his sin, never finds his delight completed. Rather, even while committing the sin his heart is faced with grief, though the intoxication of desire covers up his feeling of it.
If the heart ever becomes void of this remorseful ache and the joy of sinning overpowers any feeling of remorse, then one should doubt one's faith, and cry over the death of his heart.
Were the heart alive, the committing of sin would make it sad, upbraid and constrict it, and it would sense it.
A wound, after all, does not cause pain to a corpse.
[ Madarij al-Salikin ] Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzi
وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَن یُقۡتَلُ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمۡوَ ٰتُۢۚ بَلۡ أَحۡیَاۤءࣱ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَشۡعُرُونَ﴿ ١٥٤ ﴾
وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُم بِشَیۡءࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ وَٱلۡجُوعِ وَنَقۡصࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡوَ ٰلِ وَٱلۡأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَ ٰتِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ﴿ ١٥٥ ﴾
ٱلَّذِینَ إِذَاۤ أَصَـٰبَتۡهُم مُّصِیبَةࣱ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّاۤ إِلَیۡهِ رَ ٰجِعُونَ﴿ ١٥٦ ﴾
أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ صَلَوَ ٰتࣱ مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَرَحۡمَةࣱۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدُونَ﴿ ١٥٧ ﴾

And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allāh, They are dead. Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,
Who, when disaster strikes them, say, Indeed we belong to Allāh, and indeed to Him we will return
Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.
إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
❝ When Allah blesses you with a chance to help and support your brother, recognise it as a true blessing! Consider yourself the one being helped. Allah has bestowed upon you the blessings to help others and cleanse yourself. You are a mere vessel of opportunity—either you help or you don’t. Remember, Allah will always find a way to support and aid His faithful slaves. Allah selected you and preferred you for the opportunity to be presented to. But if you don’t help yourself by giving charity and reject this blessing of Allah, you have no one to help you and you are accountable for every penny. The angels will make Duah against you and your fortune sooner or later will diminish as it’s void of the blessings of Allah. Exactly what happened to those before you. ❞
— Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله
Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:
يا من ضاع عمره لا شيء استدرك ما فاتك في ليلة القدر فإنها تحسب بالعمر.
O you who have wasted your life, nothing can make up for what you’ve lost except the Night of Decree (Laylatul Qadr), for indeed, its value is equal to a lifetime.
(191)كتاب لطائف المعارف فيما لمواسم العام من الوظائف - ط ابن حزم
Shaykh Sulaymân al-‘Alwân فك الله أسره was asked: What is the ruling on abandoning Suhûr?
He answered: Abandoning Suhûr is an imitation of Ahlul-Kitâb, and some of the people are lenient regarding the matter of Suhûr, claiming that they do not desire it. It is a priority for the Muslim that he does not miss Suhûr, even by drinking a sip of milk to differ from Ahlul-Kitâb, and to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
It has come in the report from ‘Amr ibn al-‘Âs that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The difference between our fasting and the fasting of Ahlul-Kitâb is eating shortly before Fajr.” Narrated by Imâm Muslim.
This is indicates that [having] Suhûr is a differentiation from Ahlul-Kitâb, and differing from them is a very [important] aim in the Sharî’ah.
