Jumuah Mubarak
The Prophet said:
Part of the perfection of ones Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.
[Hadith 12, 40 Hadith Nawawi]
How often do we burden ourhearts with matters that bring no benefitidle talk, scrolling through drama, comparing ourselves to others, worrying over things beyond our control?
This hadith is a gentle invitation to protect your soul. To refine your energy, your speech, and your thoughts. Its a call to live with intentionto be present with what truly matters: your relationship with Allah, the care of those entrusted to you, and thestate of your own heart.
Letting go of what doesnt concern you is not withdrawalit is a form of spiritual refinement and elevation. Its choosing peace over noise, meaning over distraction.
Because in leaving what does not concern us, we are turning toward the eternal. We are choosing the hereafterprioritizing theaffairs that will benefit us when we stand before Allah.
Take a moment to ask:_What am I giving my time, attention, and heart to?__What is worth my energy in the eyes of the All-Knowing?_Is it drawing me closer to Allah, or merely occupying space in my life?
Sometimes the most beautiful growth comes not from doingmorebut from doing less, with sincerity and purpose.
May your Friday be filled with light, clarity, and the quiet joy that comes from tending to what truly matters.
Jumuah Mubarak.
