Why Blame Time?

The Fault is in Us, Not in Time
نَعِيبُ زَمَانَنَا وَ العَيبُ فِينَا
وَ مَا لِزَمَانِنَا عَيبٌ سِوَانَا
“We blame time and the fault is in us,
There is no fault in time except us.”— Imām al-Shāfi‘ī

Seeker of Paradise ?

Be on guard!

Abu Hurairah (r.a.) narrated that The Prophet (s.a.w.) came out before us and said, 'Be on guard!' we said, 'O Messenger of Allah! is an enemy approaching?' So he said, 'Be on guard from the fire. ' Say:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالحَمْدُ للهِ وَلا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَالله أَكْبَرُ وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللهِ
Glory be to Allah and praise be to Allah. There is no deity other than Allah and Allah is the greatest. There is no might and power except with Allah.
These (words) will come on the Day of Judgement as ones infront (of the one who reads them) and ones behind (him), and will be ones to protect & save him. They are of the good deeds that will last.- Nasai, Hakim, Baihiqi, Tabrani Albani classified it as Sahih.
