It was narrated that Abu Umamah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) saw me moving my lips and he said to me: “What are you saying, O Abu Umamah?” I said: I am remembering Allah, O Messenger of Allah. He said: “Shall I not tell you of something better or greater than your dhikr of night and day or of day and night? You should say: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِلْءَ مَا خَلَقَ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِلْءَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ، سُبْحَانَ لِلهِ مِلْءَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ مِلْءَ مَا خَلَقَ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ مِلْءَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ مِلْءَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ Subhan’Allahi ‘adada ma khalaqa, Subhan’Allahi mil’a ma khalaqa, Subhan’Allahi ‘adada ma fi’l-ardi, Subhan’Allahi mil’a ma fi’l-ardi wa’s-sama’, Subhan’Allahi ‘adada ma ahsa kitaabuhu, Subhan’Allahi mil’a ma ahsa kitabuhu, Subhan’Allahi adada kulli shay’in, Subhan’Allahi mil’a kulli shay’in Alhamdulillahi ‘adada ma khalaqa, wal-hamdulillahi mil’a ma khalaqa, wal-hamdulillahi ‘adada ma fi’l-ardi wa’s-sama’, wal-hamdulillahi mil’a ma fi’l-ardi wa’s-sama’, wal-hamdulillahi ‘adada ma ahsa kitaabuhu, wal-hamdulillahi mil’a ma ahsa kitabuhu, wal-hamdulillahi adada kulli shay’in, wal-hamdulillahi mil’a kulli shay’in (Glory be to Allah the number of what He has created, Glory be to Allah filling what He has created, Glory be to Allah the number of what is in earth, Glory be to Allah filling what is in earth and heaven, Glory be to Allah amount of what is enumerated in His Book [Lowhill Mahfooth the Presevered Tablet], Glory be to Allah to what fills his book, Glory be to Allah to the amount of everything, Glory be to Allah to that which fills everything);

Assalamu Alaikum everyone, One thing I’ve noticed about communities like this is that many of us share the same struggles, even if we don’t always say them out loud. A brother once shared something simple but very real with me. He said he wanted to start a halal online business so he could avoid doubtful income and still support his family. He spent weeks watching videos, saving ideas, and planning but never actually started. Not because he was lazy but because he was confused. He didn’t know: - which business model was actually halal - how to start without copying haram practices - how to grow without letting money become the goal - or how to stay consistent when results didn’t come fast And I realized this isn’t just his story. It’s a lot of ours. Many of us are Trying to earn halal in a system built on shortcuts.Trying to stay sincere while chasing stability.Trying to build something beneficial without losing our focus on akhirah. So I wanted to ask openly: What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing right now when it comes to business or income while trying to keep your deen first? No debates. No judgement.Just real people sharing real struggles. May Allah place barakah in our efforts and guide us to what’s best for both this life and the next.
