al-Mujahireen

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
“My entire nation is safe, except al-Mujahirin (those who boast of their sins). Among the Mujaharah is that a man commits an (evil) act, and wakes up in the morning while Allah has kept his (sin) a secret, he says: “O so- and-so! Last night I did this and that.” He goes to sleep while Allah has kept his (sin) a secret but he wakes up in the morning and uncovers what Allah has kept a secret!”
[Saheeh al-Bukhari]

Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “Whosoever begins the day feeling family security and good health; and possessing provision for his day is as though he possesed the whole world.”
[At-Tirmidhi].
Do not let pride waylay you

Do not strut proudly on account of your good deeds. Do not let pride waylay you. When you deem yourself holier than others, know that you have fallen into grave error.

لن يبلُغَ العلمَ جميعاً أحدٌ
لا ولَوْ حاوَلَهُ ألفَ سنَهْ
إنما العلْمُ عَمِيقٌ بحرُهُ
فخذوا من كل شيءٍ أحسنه
Tawakkaltu fee rizqy 3ala Allaahi khaaliqy

تَوكلْتُ في رِزْقي عَلَى اللَّهِ خَالقي
وأيقنتُ أنَّ اللهَ لا شكٌ رازقي
وما يكُ من رزقي فليسَ يفوتني
وَلَو كَانَ في قَاع البَحَارِ الغَوامِقِ
سيأتي بهِ اللهُ العظيمُ بفضلهِ
ولو لم يكن مني اللسانُ بناطقِ
ففي أي شيءٍ تذهبُ النفسُ حسرة
وَقَدْ قَسَمَ الرَّحْمَنُ رِزْقَ الْخَلاَئِقِ
O Allaah, reward me for my affliction and compensate me with something better

Al-Bukhaari (1496) and Muslim (1053) narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“…whoever is patient Allaah will bestow patience upon him, and no one is ever given anything better and more generous than patience.”
And Muslim (918) narrated that Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said:
I heard the Messenger of Allaah (S) say:
“There is no Muslim who is stricken with a calamity and says what Allaah has enjoined – ‘Verily to Allaah we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allaah, reward me for my affliction and compensate me with something better’ – but Allaah will compensate him with something better.”
There are five signs of righteousness

There are five signs of righteousness:
a gentle disposition and a soft heart, shedding tears of regret, ascetism and not caring about the world, being unambitious, and having a conscience.
