Ya Ebaadi: My Servants
Bismillah
When Allah azza wa jal address His servants, He subhanahu wa ta’ala will say “‘ebaadi” - My servants. Sometimes the ‘yaa’ pronoun (yaa al-mutakalim, meaning “my”) will be there and sometimes it be omitted, while still retaining the meaning of “my”. Why this change?
Get ready to dive into the beauty of the Qur’an :)
Eyes Protected from the Fire
It’s reported that Abu Rayhana (radi Allahu anhu) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Hellfire has been made forbidden for the eye which wept out of the Fear and Awe of Allah. Hellfire has been made forbidden for the eye which stayed awake and vigilant (through the night) in the Way of Allah. Hellfire has been made forbidden for the eye which looked away from that which has been forbidden by Allah.”
[Narrated in Hakim, authentic according to Shaykh al-Albani]

Look for Your Heart in Three Places
اُطْلُبْ قَلْبَكَ فِيْ ثَلاَثِ مَوَاطِنَ:
عِنْدَ سَمَاعِ اْلقُرْآنِ، وَفِيْ مَجَالِسِ الذِّكْرِ، وَفِيْ أَوْقَاتِ اْلخُلْوَةِ
فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فِيْ هَذِهِ اْلمَوَاطِنَ
فَسَلِ اللهَ أَنْ يَمُنَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقَلْبٍ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ قَلْبَ لَكَ
Look for your heart in three places: when listening to the Qur’an,
When sitting in the gathering of knowledge
and when in privacy. If you cannot find it in these places, then ask Allah to bless you with a heart, for indeed you have no heart.”

Let Me Tell You that I'm Proud
You have glanced at me in criticism
Wondering what has caused me wearing what I wear
However weird it is to you
Let me tell you than I’m proud

Amazing Story | Story of a Bird and Sufyān ath-Thawrī [rahimahullaah]
Imām al-Dhahabī mentions the following story in his entry for Sufyān ath-Thawrī:
”ʻAlī b. ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz said, Arim narrated to us saying, I went to Abū Manṣūr to visit him, he said to me,‘Sufyān resided in this house, and there was here a nightingale belonging to my son. He (Sufyān) said, ‘Why is this locked up (in a cage)? It should be freed.’ I said, ‘It belongs to my son, and he gives it to you as a gift.’ Sufyān said, ‘No, I will give him a dinar for it.’ He said, ‘He then took it and freed it, and it would go out and return in the evening, and would be at the far end of the house. When Sufyān died, it followed his funeral procession and was flying over his grave. After this on some nights it would go to his grave, and sometimes would spend the night there, and sometimes would return back home. They then found it dead by his grave and it was buried alongside Sufyān.”’

Hijabis And Niqabis - This is for you !
Sisters, I know it might hard for you to cover up sometimes, particularly when you see magazines splashed with pictures of glamorous models and make-up accessories, fashion, etc. Being a sister, I know that you sometimes may feel so out of the world when you're clad in the Hijab and Niqab, particularly when you're out, and when every other sister is dressed up in jeans, T-shirts, with their hair showing and their faces caked up with make-up. I know it might be weird, but you know what? People might call you a weirdo, but you're nothing like that. You're just unique. Specially unique in fact, because when nearly every other girl chooses to wear according to the latest fashion trend, you stick with what pleases your Lord the most.
