Sometimes Allah removes people, opportunities, money, or even dreams from our lives. And the first thing we feel is loss . We ask: “Why me?” “Why now?” “What did I do wrong?” But what if… the loss is not a punishment? What if Allah is protecting you from something you could not see? Allah says: وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ “You may dislike something while it is good for you.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:216) Loss is not always a subtraction. Sometimes, it's a divine substitution. 💔 1. If Allah Took a Person Away ✅ He is giving you peace you couldn’t feel with them That person leaving was not rejection. It was protection .

In our time, sins have become disguised as trends. What once made hearts tremble now earns likes, views, and laughter. But no matter how common a sin becomes, it never stops being a sin in the sight of Allah ﷻ. Let’s reflect on seven major sins that society has normalized — and how we can protect our hearts from them. 1. Gossip and Backbiting (الغيبة) Backbiting is one of the easiest sins to fall into because it hides under the excuse of “just talking.” Whether it’s about a friend, a celebrity, or a scholar, gossip is still forbidden if it mentions something the person would dislike. Allah ﷻ says: “And do not backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it.” (Surah Al-Hujurat 49:12) In today’s world, gossip spreads not only through tongues but through tweets, comment sections, and group chats. Every time we discuss someone’s faults unnecessarily, we harm our own soul. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Backbiting is mentioning about ...

In the Qur’an, Allah doesn’t just speak about the physical heart — He speaks about the spiritual heart. The heart in Islam is the seat of faith, sincerity, and guidance. When it’s pure, a person draws close to Allah; when it’s corrupted, everything else follows. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Verily, in the body there is a piece of flesh which, if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Truly it is the heart.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, 52) So, which heart do you have? Let’s explore the 5 types of hearts mentioned by scholars of Islam. 🕊️ 1. The Sound Heart (Al-Qalb As-Saleem) This is the pure heart filled with iman (faith), taqwa (piety), and ikhlas (sincerity). Allah says: إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ “Except the one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.” (Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:89) It’s a heart free from arrogance, envy, and hypocrisy. Its owner loves Allah, obeys Him sincerely, and forgives others. 💫 Example: The...

Islam is a religion of love, mercy, and compassion — especially between husband and wife. Love in Islam isn’t expressed through haram actions or words, but through pure affection, kindness, and soft speech. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The best among you are those who are best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives." (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 3895) One of the ways to express love is through sweet and respectful nicknames . The Prophet ﷺ used to call Aisha رضي الله عنها lovingly as “Ya ‘Aish” — a shortened, affectionate form of her name. This shows that Islam encourages warmth and love in marriage, as long as it remains within the limits of Shariah. Allah says: وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً “…and He placed between you affection and mercy.” (Surah Ar-Rum 30:21) So here are some beautiful, halal, and meaningful names you can lovingly call your spouse — from classical Arabic names to modern, meaningful ones. 💕 Sweet Shariah-Compliant Names for Your ...
