ايه العمل يا أحمد؟ يوم طلعت المشهد كل أمم تشهد أنك رسول الله

Jabir (radi Allahu anhu) said: "We set out on a journey and along the way a man from amongst us injured himself on a rock and split his head, after which he had a wet dream and required a bath. So he asked his companions, 'Do you find any concession for me in that I make tayammum?' They replied, 'We do not find any concession for you as you are able to use water.' So he bathed and died as a result. This was mentioned to the Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam). He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) then replied, 'They killed him, may Allah kill them. Should they not have asked if they didn’t know! Verily the cure of all ignorance is to question! It would have been enough for him had he performed tayammum.'" [Sunan Abu Dawud]

"One means of beholding the Prophet ﷺ in a dream vision is to always carry on one's person a representation of the Prophet’s blessed Sandal ﷺ. This was mentioned by al-Shihab Ahmad al-Muqri in his book Fath al-Muta`al fi madh al-Ni`al [The Victory of The Exalted in praise of the Sandals]. He said: “One of the unique features of the blessed Sandals was mentioned by some of the imams and its blessings are tried and true: He who is constant in carrying it on his person will enjoy complete acceptance by the creation and will most certainly visit the Prophet ﷺ or behold him ﷺ in a dream vision.” -Imam Yusuf Al-Nabahani

One of the salaf said: if I saw one of my brothers with his beard dripping with wine, I would say that perhaps someone poured a bottle of alcohol over him and if I were to find him standing on top of a mountain yelling "I am your Lord, Most High" I would say "oh he's just reading the verse (where fir'awn said that).

-Habib Ali

It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrî – Allâh have mercy on him – said: If people called on Allâh when put to trial because of their rulers, Allâh would relieve their suffering; but instead they resorted to the sword, so they were left to it. And not one day of good did they bring.

Then he recited: And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, for the patience and perseverance they had, and We destroyed the works of Pharaoh and his people and what they had erected. (Qur'an 7:137)

Some prophetic advice for everybody who's had enough of the drama around the world.

Hudhayfa said: I hear the Messenger ﷺ saying: ﷺ

-Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jailani Al-Baghdadi (Not the other Baghdadi)

He said: "She will go to hell"

The man said: "O messenger of Allah! There is (another) woman who is well-known for how little she fasts and prays, but she gives charity from the dried yoghurt she makes and she does not harm her neighbors"

He said: "She will go to paradise"

“The nature of the human being, man, because we seek guidance from the Prophet ﷺ and we have to know something about ourselves. You know it's not just being lost in literal statements like, ‘whoever knows himself, knows his Lord.’ But what is the prism by virtue of which we know ourselves? And what is the prism by virtue of which we know our Lord, subhana wa ta'ala? Ya'ani, impossible from the awaleen or from the akhareen for anybody to arrive at Allah subhana wa ta'ala save by the great gateway; the Prophet himself ﷺ. IE, to simplify the equation; if you do not know him ﷺ you cannot know yourself. And if you do not know him ﷺ you cannot know Allah subhana wa ta'ala. And so the business is serious.. The endeavor to know who the Prophet ﷺ is.”
