Note: Permissibility To Pray The Next Prayer With The Same Wudhu As The One Performed For The Previous Salah As Long As The Ablution Was Not Invalidated

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

🗒️ Allah the Almighty knows best. 

If you have performed wudhu/ablution to pray Salat Ad-Dhuha, you can pray Salat Adh-Dhuhr with that wudhu if you're able to retain it. Likewise if you did wudhu to pray Tahajjud / Qiyaam Al-Layl, you can pray Salat Al-Fajr with that same wudhu as long as it was not invalidated (through flatulence, sleeping etc.).

Tips: What To Look Out For When Searching For A Good Muslim Wife And Blessings In Marrying A Righteous Muslimah

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

🗒️ Checklist for each brother in Islam who's willing to find a righteous Muslimah whom he can marry for Allah's sake: 

1] It is known that when she's outdoors or in the presence of non-mahram males, she wears proper hijaab/niqaab and dresses modestly. 

2] She's not the kind of woman who's obsessed with wearing heavy make-up and fancy jewelry. A righteous Muslimah may do whatever she can to beautify herself exclusively for her husband once she gets married. 

3] She actively avoids interacting with non-mahram guys online and offline as much as possible. On social media she doesn't have male users as "Facebook friends" unless they happen to be her male mahrams such as her father, brothers, and nephews. 

4] She strives to follow the correct 'Aqeedah (sound belief), while staying away from anything associated with bid'ah including celebrating birthdays and the so-called "mawlid an-nabiyy" etc. 

5] It is clear that she respects her mother and father. A lady who gets along with her parents and elders well is likely to be respectful towards her future husband. 

6] It is obvious that she doesn't have an addiction to taking nonsensical selfies and narcissistically uploading photos of herself on the social networking websites she often logs into. A pious Muslimah refrains from posting pictures and sketching images of living beings. 

7] She, as well as her parents, do not demand an unreasonably large mahr/dowry or extravagant wedding. The closer a Muslimah is to Allah the Almighty and the more she desires Jannah Paradise, the less demanding she'd be regarding materialistic things, and the more she'd prefer a simple wedding with an unpretentious lifestyle. 

🌼 A man who marries a righteous Muslimah for Allah's sake 

Inn-sha-Allah won't regret because she: 

1] ...will not expect her husband to be perfect and infallible 24/7. She is readily forgiving, empathic, and understanding of his imperfections. 

2] ...will not purposely do anything to humiliate or disrespect him, especially in front of his loved ones and friends. 

3] ...will not suspect him of "cheating" on her just because he briefly spoke to a female client, neighbor, colleague, patient, or student. 

4] ...will not annoy him by being overly clingy, irrationally dramatic, and exceedingly sensitive or unduly jealous and insecure, frequently inspecting the electronic gadgets he utilizes for communication and interrogating him with questions which showcase she doesn't trust him. 

5] ...will not insecurely threaten him with divorce whenever they argue or if ever he informs her that he is interested in marrying another dedicated Muslimah to increase the barakah/blessings in their marriage life, since she has already researched about the wisdom behind polygyny, virtues of rewarding patience, and humbly accepts Allah's Qadr/Decree, aware that Jannah Paradise is our ultimate destination while this dunya is merely temporary.

Note: Live On Earth To Please Only Allah The Almighty And Know That Real Life Is In Jannah Paradise

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 I used to be acquainted with a female in her mid twenties who died some time this year while giving birth if I'm not mistaken. If one of her dreams or life goals was to bring up righteous Muslim kids, with Allah's Will she wasn't able to see such wish come true. Two of my students some years ago passed away in their teens without experiencing what it's like to graduate. If completing college and earning halal income were from their wishes when they were alive, Allah the Almighty decreed that they'd depart from this fleeting world before such ambitions could be acquired. 

Just recently one brother in Islam, who was around 25 or so years old, passed away while struggling to survive as a hardworking teacher amidst different sources of stress. 

Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala destined that he would be among those young men who'd die without the opportunity to experience marriage life and fatherhood. 

No matter how much you desire to attain certain goals in this temporary dunya, whether one of your aims is to become a wealthy professional or dedicated spouse, understand that our main purpose of living is to do what we can to please and serve Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala until we meet Him. 

It's not a big issue if your overall performance at school or work is unsatisfactory, or if you aren't as rich or good-looking as a particular individual. It's not a crisis if you can't afford branded outfits, costly accessories, and a large mansion. And it's not a serious problem if you're unable to reconcile with some individuals who aren't reciprocating your efforts to reconnect. What is most important is that we strive to live this dunya in a way that pleases Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala through striving to obey His commands and avoid what He prohibited so when He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala takes us we don't scold ourselves with regret saying things like "if only I prayed on time... if only I deleted all those selfies... if only I completed paying all my debts... if only I recited Surah Al-Mulk before going to bed... and if only I said sorry to my relatives etc.".

Note: One Righteous Muslim Friend Is Better Than Many Acquaintances Who Are A Bad Influence

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 It's better to have a pious friend who occasionally sends you links to reliable Islamic websites than hilarious friends who spoil you with laughter from the funny memes and jokes they share. A dependable companion who loves accompanying you to Islamic conferences and religious circles is worthier of keeping than a generous one who frequently treats you at buffet restaurants gaining sins as you ridicule others through backbiting.

🌸 Among the signs of righteous companions who are "friends for keeps" include:

• When you're with them, your Taqwa and faith/Imaan levels increase.

• When you're not around them, you can trust that they won't gossip about you, as they hate nonsensical talks, purposely telling lies, and obnoxiously indulging in immature gossiping.

• Beautified with steadfast faith/Imaan, sincerity, and decent manners, they're readily forgiving. So even if you don't talk to each other for several days or months, when you reunite for Allah's sake, such as in Eid gatherings or at a friend's wedding, there's no hatred nor awkward silence as you understand each other's busy schedule.

• Without hesitating to advise and correct you when you do something wrong, their counseling is typically done one-on-one because they never wish to see you in an embarrassing situation.

• Recalling that you're human just like them with several flaws and imperfections, they considerately give you lots of time for self-improvement. So they want you to join them in their journey to Jannah without feeling like you're being forced.

• When you share your joys and achievements with them, they don't misinterpret it as showing off nor do they feel envious at all. They enjoy discovering more about you, offer genuine support, and respect your unique qualities or interests.

• You both lovingly mention each other's names in your Du'as on a regular basis, whether while fasting a Sunnah fast every other Monday and Thursday, or in Sujood while praying Tahajjud when only few choose to stay awake. 

If you have at least one pious friend, even if such friend happens to be one or both of your dear parents and / or your loving husband, then stay grateful to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala for being blessed with a worthwhile companion. If it's challenging to find trustworthy people around your area, then remain contented with Allah's Love and eagerly anticipate meeting other good souls in the next life who, with Allah's Will, deserve entry to Jannah Heaven.

Poem: What Is It Like To Love Your Husband Truly For Allah's Sake?

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 "So what's it like to love your husband for Allah's sake?" 

"How do you know your love is real and not one bit fake?" 

"What makes you stay married though you don't see him always?" 

"Of all the guys on earth, why choose him? What motivates 

You to keep loving your spouse in spite of his mistakes?" 

~•~ 

To put it simply, my loving him for Allah's sake 

Is what keeps me motivated to patiently stay 

Married in spite of the fact he's not around always. 

Loving him for Allah is like designing a page 

Sent from a trusted friend who knows you can decorate... 

~•~ 

...and formulate fine pathways leading to Jannah's gates, 

With Allah's Will, as you say Du'as each night and day. 

Actual love for Allah's sake enables you to wait, 

Disables you from wanting to needlessly complain, 

Reminds you to forget flaws and recall his best traits. 

~•~ 

This is what it's like to love my zawj for Allah's sake: 

Think of a nerd who values subjects which most kids hate, 

A diner who loves to wash their own dishes and plates 

Seeking rewards while critics laugh at how they seem strange, 

And a gem that still shines even when the skies are gray.

~•~

You maintain patience when your husband is far away, 

Apply hope while beseeching Allah to keep him safe 

And guided to remain steadfast upon Allah's Way, 

When you appreciate your soulmate for Allah's sake. 

Mutual love for Allah leads you both to Jannah's gates.

~•~

Grade: Hasan (Fair) according to At-Tirmidhi

Ali Al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."
