You Use Eye Drops – The Prophet ﷺ Used Something Better

by
modern

The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just recommend kohl occasionally. He had a dedicated container (called a makhal) that traveled with him. Before bed every night, he’d apply it three times in the right eye, three times in the left. Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما reported: “The Prophet ﷺ said the best kohl is ithmid—it clears the vision and grows the hair.” Not regular kohl. Ithmid—natural antimony stone. Why? Because it strengthens eyesight. Fights bacteria. Clears vision. Modern ophthalmologists confirm antimony has medicinal properties. Muslims abandoned this Sunnah. Now they’re spending thousands on glasses, eye drops, surgery—while ignoring what the Prophet ﷺ used nightly for free.

When Your Best Friend Becomes Your Worst Enemy on Judgment Day

You thought they were your best friend. You’d do anything for them. You compromised your values for them. You sinned with them. And on Judgment Day, when you need them most, they’ll turn their back on you and say: “I have my own problems.”

One Verse That Makes Shaytan Flee Your Home

by
duas

Shaytan himself admitted it. The Prophet ﷺ confirmed it. When you recite Ayatul Kursi before sleeping, Allah ﷻ assigns an angel to guard you. All night. Shaytan can’t come near you until dawn. When it’s recited in a home, shaytan runs away from that house. The scholars say: Ayatul Kursi is never recited in a house except that shaytan leaves. This isn’t superstition. This is authentic hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari. The greatest verse in the Quran doubles as your fortress. Are you using it?

Every Time You Say SubhanAllah – A Tree Is Planted in Paradise For You

by
duas

You say “SubhanAllah” once. Takes one second. Allah ﷻ plants a tree for you in Paradise. Real tree. With roots of rubies. Trunk of gold. Shade that stretches for miles. Fruits sweeter than honey. You say it 100 times today? That’s 100 trees. Your own forest. In Jannah. The Prophet ﷺ met Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام on Mi’raj and he said: “Tell your Ummah that Paradise has good soil and sweet water, but it’s barren. Its plantation is SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar.” You can plant an entire garden while sitting on your couch. In the time it takes to watch one video, you can plant hundreds of trees in Paradise. Are you planting?

Islam Is a Religion of Ease, Not Hardship – Why Are You Making It So Difficult?

by
modern

You think Islam is all seriousness and strictness? The Prophet ﷺ smiled SO much that his companions specifically mentioned it. Jarir ibn Abdullah رضي الله عنه said: “The Prophet ﷺ never refused to see me since I became Muslim, and never looked at me except with a smile.” Every time. Without fail. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Smiling in your brother’s face is charity.” He made worship easy, not burdensome. He said: “Religion is easy, and no one overburdens himself in his religion except that it will overcome him.” So if you’re drowning in strictness and joylessness – that’s not the Islam the Prophet ﷺ taught. Your Islam should bring peace, not anxiety. Joy, not misery.

Your Child’s Rights From Day One – Aqeeqah & Khitan You’re Neglecting

by

Your child is born. You celebrate. You take photos. You announce on social media. But did you perform aqeeqah on the seventh day like the Prophet ﷺ commanded? Did you arrange circumcision as part of the Fitrah he taught? Or did you dismiss these as “old traditions” not necessary anymore? These practices have authentic hadith behind them. They’re your child’s rights upon you. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Every child is in pledge for his aqeeqah.” That means your child is held in pledge—like collateral—until you fulfill this obligation. Stop neglecting what Allah’s Messenger taught.

The Miracle You’re Ignoring – Say Astaghfirullah 100 Times Daily

by
duas

Three words. “Astaghfirullah”—I seek Allah’s forgiveness. The Prophet ﷺ, guaranteed Paradise, sinless, still said it 70-100 times every single day. You? You say it once when you sin badly, then forget about it. But Allah promises in the Quran: whoever makes istighfar constantly will have relief from every distress, a way out of every difficulty, and sustenance from sources they never imagined. Your anxiety? Gone. Your financial struggles? Solved. Your closed doors? Opened. All through three words you’re too “busy” to say.

Your Salah Determines How Fast You Cross the Sirat – Lightning or Crawling?

by
duas

After Judgment Day comes the Sirat—a bridge over Hell so thin it’s thinner than hair, sharper than a sword. Everyone must cross it to reach Paradise. Some will cross like lightning—in the blink of an eye. Others like wind, like horses running. Some will walk. Some will crawl on their knees. And some will fall straight into the Fire below. What determines your speed? Your deeds—especially your Salah. Those who prayed on time, with focus, with love for Allah—they’ll fly across. You who rushed your prayers? Who skipped them? Who prayed while distracted? You’ll be crawling. If you make it at all.

Prophet Yusuf (AS) Fled From Zina – Why Are You Scrolling Toward It?

Seven locked doors. A beautiful, powerful woman offering herself to him. No witnesses. No consequences. Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام ran for his life. His shirt tore as she tried to stop him. He chose prison over sin. You’re scrolling through Instagram, clicking on profiles you shouldn’t, watching content you know is haram—and you’re choosing the opposite. He ran away. You’re running toward it.

Parents on Trial: When Your Children Testify About Your Neglect

You made sure they got into the best schools. You paid for their sports and tuitions. You gave them the latest phone. But did you teach them how to pray? Do they know Surah Al-Fatiha? Can they read Quran? On the Day of Judgment, they’ll stand before Allah and ask you: “Why didn’t you save me from the Fire?” What will you say?

Paradise Under Her Feet – But You’re Stepping On Her Heart

Your mother is crying. Your father is hurt. You think it doesn’t matter because they’ll forgive you eventually. But what you don’t realize is that their dua against you—made in a moment of pain—has already reached Allah. And on the Day of Judgment, they won’t just forgive and forget. They’ll testify. About every harsh word. Every disrespectful look. Every time you chose your phone over their call.
