The words of a brother, that I read in social media:

*Start Quote*

What a sad reality we are living in.

The sinner is “cool” and “open minded”, while the righteous is “boring” and “oppressed”.

The Quran is a chore, while music is a hobby. Marriage is “too much work”, while dating is “so fun”. Tabarruj is “freedom”, while Hijab is “oppression”. Dancing in public is confidence, while praying in public is embarrassing.

What happened, oh Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ ?

Allah, the Exalted, says in Surah Al-‘Asr (interpretation of meaning):

(1) By time,
(2) Indeed, mankind is in loss,
(3) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.

[Al-‘Asr: Ayah 1-3]

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَمَضَانُ شَهْرٌ مُبَارَكٌ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ تُفْتَحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُغْلَقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَحِيمِ وَتُغَلُّ فِيهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ مَنْ حُرِمَ خَيْرَهَا قَدْ حُرِمَ

⭐️ Surah Al-Hujurat – Verse 13 ⭐️

يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرࣲ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ شُعُوبࣰا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ أَكۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَىٰكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرࣱ

“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allāh is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allāh is All- Knowing, All-Aware.”

‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

Prior to his demise, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to supplicate frequently: Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, Astaghfirullaha wa atubu ilaihi (Allah is free from imperfection, and I begin with praising Him. I beg forgiveness from Allah and I turn to Him in repentance).”
