He will give you until you are pleased, so be reassured

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.

Hold On...Your Lord Is Generous

 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...

The Ruling on Using a Camera App as a Mirror

Since camera apps make images without us pressing the capture button: opening the app and using it as a mirror is not appropriate; it is haram (impremissible). If it is said: We did not take a picture, as it is not fixed and disappears when the app is closed. One could say to that: The imitation is still fulfilled. What you see on the screen is not a reflection, but automatic image-making. The image being permanent is not necessary for imitation to be fulfilled; creation itself is the condition for that. Based on this, using a phone camera as a mirror is not allowed, and it is a major sin. Important Note If it seems strange to you that the app creates pictures without pressing the capture button, this indicates a lack of understanding of the nature of photography and how these devices work, and does not mean it is not considered photography. The advice is: Do not speak about what Allaah ruled, without knowledge. This matter concerns a major sin. Therefore, please consul...

Your Heart Will Find Ease—So Be Patient.

Your heart will find ease—so be patient. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Patience is light". (Narrated by Muslim) Whenever Allah tests you, He places a spark of light in your heart to guide you through. Patience is not a burden, nor a restriction; it is a guiding light that illuminates the path even in the darkest circumstances. Your Lord is more merciful to you than you are to yourself. He knows exactly where your pain lies and measures trials according to what will elevate you, not what will overwhelm you. When your chest feels heavy, know that relief is nearer than you imagine-through a word, a supplication, or a small event that can change the course of your life. Do not despair along the path of patience. At its end are doors of goodness that open only for those who endure and remain steadfast. Perhaps the night in which you weep today is the very night Allah writes a victory that will make you forget every sorrow. Abu l-Munthir al-Hawbaanee
