 Guard Your Heart, Gain the Hereafter

"The person who lives in the world safeguarding himself from the love of the world has benefited himself and others."
— Hazrat Hasan al-Basri (رحمه الله)
This beautiful reminder teaches us that Islam does not ask us to abandon the world—it teaches us not to let the world take over our hearts.
When our love for Allah is greater than our love for wealth , status , or temporary pleasures, we become a source of goodness for ourselves and everyone around us. True success is not measured by what we own, but by how close we are to Allah and how much benefit we bring to His creation.
May Allah purify our hearts from excessive attachment to this
temporary world and make the Hereafter our greatest concern.

Yaralti Camii in Istanbul

The signs in your photo are pointing to the graves or memorial locations of three respected companions (Ṣaḥābah) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who are buried in or associated with the area of Eyüp Sultan Mosque in Istanbul.

1. Hazrat Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah (R.A.)

The sign appears to read "Hz. Süfyan bin Uyeyne (R.A.)". If this refers to Sufyan ibn Uyaynah, he was:

• One of the greatest scholars of Hadith.

• Born in 725 CE and died in 814 CE.

• A teacher of many famous scholars, including Al-Shafi'i.

• He was not a Companion (Sahabi), but one of the great scholars of the early generations (Tabi' al-Tabi'in).

However, in Istanbul, some signs occasionally refer to local shrines or memorials, so this may not necessarily indicate his actual burial place.

2. Hazrat ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ (R.A.)

The sign reads "Hz. Amr İbni As (R.A.)", referring to Amr ibn al-As.
He was:

• A Companion of the Prophet ﷺ.

• One of Islam's greatest military commanders.

• Led the Muslim conquest of Egypt.

• Founded the city of Fustat, which later became part of modern Cairo.

• He is buried in Egypt, so this sign is likely commemorative rather than indicating his actual grave.

3. Hazrat Wahb ibn Hushayrah (R.A.)

The sign reads "Hz. Vehb bin Hüşeyre (R.A.)", referring to Wahb ibn Hushayrah.
He was:

• A Companion of the Prophet ﷺ.

• According to Ottoman tradition, he participated in the early Muslim expedition against Constantinople.

• He is believed by local tradition to be buried in the Eyüp area alongside other Companions.

Why are these names in Istanbul?

Many Companions and early Muslims joined the first Muslim expeditions against Constantinople in the 7th century. Although the city was not conquered until 1453, Islamic tradition holds that several Companions died during those campaigns and were buried there. After the Ottoman conquest, many graves were identified or commemorated, making the Eyüp district an important place of visitation.

Gary Lineker has hit out at FIFA

 🚨 Gary Lineker has hit out at FIFA and US authorities over the "shameful" hurdles imposed on Iran's players at the World Cup.

⛔ Iran has been subjected to unprecedented restrictions throughout the competition, forced to base themselves in Mexico and fly into the United States under strict 24-hour match-day mandates.

🗣️ Lineker did not hold back in his analysis, calling the heavy-handed treatment of the players and the forcing of late-night evacuations right after final whistles completely unfair.

🇮🇷 The squad has faced massive disruption, including having 11 members of their official traveling party denied visas to enter America, forcing backroom staff to double up on roles.

😡 Lineker argued that players are being unfairly punished for political conflicts completely outside their control, severely compromising the sporting integrity of the tournament.

Keir Starmer ICC Prosecutor.

 The Times speculates that Keir Starmer may seek the role of ICC Prosecutor.

Whether that proves true or not, it sharpens what is at stake at the ASP on 24 July. This goes beyond Karim Khan to the future of the International Criminal Court. Can a Prosecutor who sought arrest warrants in relation to Palestine be forced from office despite a unanimous Judicial Panel finding that the evidence did not establish misconduct?

The decision taken by States Parties will say much about the independence of the Court, and whether international justice is applied equally, regardless of who stands accused.

So are muslims terrrorists?

 The most bombed countries

in the last 50 years are all Muslim. But somehow Muslims are the terrorists?...!!!

Keir Starmer is he the m an we trusted?

Remember when Keir Starmer said that Israel had the right to impose a complete siege on Gaza, cutting off water, food, fuel, and electricity?

A former human rights lawyer. He also called for "the return of the sausages". As Radio 4 works hard to remind us that Keir Starmer is a human being - just like you and I - remember what he was, and is, part of.
