Abdurrahmaan Al-Qaddaaree

 I found a beautiful post, and I can't tell who's the author, but, I liked the idea of sharing it. It's originally Arabic, so what you'll read next is its translation: The anonymous author said: When Moosaa, peace be upon him, arrived in Madyan, he had no house, no job, and no wife. He made a favor [to the two young women], sat in the shade, raised his hands to the sky, and said: { Lord, I am in need of whatever you bestow upon me }. The sun had not even set before he received a house, a job, and a wife. { Lord, I am in need of whatever you bestow upon me }. Aameen.

 مهلًا، فربك كريم Hold on — your Lord is Generous. قال الله تعالى: {قُلْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ قَرِيبًا} [الإسراء: 51]. Allaah, Exalted is He, said: { Say: Perhaps it will be soon } [Al-Israa': 51] في هذه الآية تسلية للمؤمن المنتظر وفرج للأمل الكامن في صدره، This verse is soothing for believers who wait, and a relief for the hope hidden within their chests. فهي تذكره أن وعد الله لا يطول على من صدق، It reminds them that the promise of Allaah is never far for those who truly believe. وأن ما يتمناه من خير قد يكون أقرب مما يظن، And that the good they long for may be nearer than they imagine. ولكن الحكيم سبحانه يؤخر لحكمة Yet the All-Wise, Holy is He, delays for a reason full of wisdom, ويعطي في الوقت الأنسب لعبده، and grants at the most suitable time for His slaves. فلتبقى القلوب معلقة بربها So let hearts remain attached to their Lord, واثقة أن التأخير ليس نسيانًا بل إعدادًا، trusting that delay is not neglect, but preparation. وأن ما كتب الله كائن في أوانه، And that what...

Allaah said: { And your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied } A majestic divine promise to His Prophet, overflowing with reassurance and serenity. It is a glad tidings that the divine gift to His Prophet is not limited to worldly blessings but includes the delights of the Hereafter and complete satisfaction. Scholars have said that Allaah does not truly please His Prophet except by admitting his Ummah into Paradise. Thus, this verse is among the most hopeful in the Qur’aan for the believers. Its meaning is: Your Lord, O Muhammad, will give you such abundance of favor and honor that you will be fully satisfied with your Lord. This was realized in his life through victory and empowerment, and it will reach its fullest on the Day of Judgment when Allaah is pleased with his intercession for his Ummah.   It is a verse that reminds the believer that whoever pleases Allaah will be pleased by Allaah, and that satisfaction is the ultimate form of divine gift.   — Abu-l-Munthi...

There’s a pattern I’ve noticed more than once, and it never fails to frustrate: someone throws a personal accusation your way, refuses to clarify, and leaves you in complete limbo. On the surface, it might seem like advice, a warning, or even concern—but dig a little deeper, and it’s a subtle power move. The formula is simple:  Accuse  your opponent through a vague critique or claim.  Refuse  to clarify your claim if asked for specifics.  Leave them confused , unsure how to respond, and questioning themselves. What’s happening here isn’t accidental. The vagueness is deliberate: an attempt to assert authority without accountability, letting the other person weigh their critique over you while offering no way to engage meaningfully. The effect is immediate: frustration, withdrawal, and that sinking feeling that your effort, attempt to engage, understand, or connect, aren’t welcome. This behavior has a name in psychology: gaslighting , and stonewalling . It’s...
