The Origin of Testsᴴᴰ | DeenOverDunya♥


Assalamualaikum Brothers & Sisters we have made another video, so please check that out, or you can watch it from here. I have explained some of the things that Allah will do on the Day of Judgement; however I will go more in depth with a lot more information about how Allah will test us...

The highest level of attainment in Paradise is Al-Firdaus, which is situated directly beneath Allah’s Throne. This level is reserved in honour of the martyr, who sacrificed his/her life in Allah’s Cause. Paradise descends through various levels reserved for people according to their strength of faith and level of striving. The more we strive in Allah’s Cause with our lives, wealth, desires and emotions, the better our position will be in Paradise, In Sha Allah.

Allah’s Messenger said: “The world is the believer’s prison and the infields’ paradise.” Paradise is surrounded by hardships and Hellfire is surrounded by temptations.

This life is like a paradise for the non-believer, as he appears to have fewer restrictions and make fewer sacrifices. However, this is the choice he makes and one that bears heavy consequences (penalties) in the Hereafter. He denies the existence of his Divine Creator and reminds disobedient to His Divine Authority. The non-believer strives only to please himself and satisfy his own selfish desires rather than gain the pleasure of his Lord. However, by seeking instant gratification in this life, he sacrifices the best that is still yet come. Allah will deny him the pleasures in Paradise and grant him all that he desires in this life instead.

Allah will test His creation to distinguish between those who turn to Him in times of need and those who do not. The ways in which believers and non-believers cope during trials are also radically different. Believers acknowledge and accept that their destiny is in the Hands of Allah, and for every tragedy that befalls them, they accept and endure it patiently for the rewards it brings. Alternatively, they may express their pain and anguish to Allah, but in private so as not to show disrespect or conflict with His Divine and Judgement.

#Wear The Hijab♡


Assalamualaikum Brothers & Sisters. There is a new video that has been uploaded on our channel so please check that out. I will give a little introduction about the video and why this video is most important in a Muslim Persons Life.

Clearly it states in the Hadith and the Qur'an that we should keep ourselves covered, if the Prophet (PBUH)'s wives wore Hijabs then we should too follow in their footstep. If you complain about people always looking at you, well it is obviously going to be your fault; they are only seeing what you are showing to the public. Also in my opinion wearing a Hijab makes me feel complete and makes me feel that I'm part of the Muslim Ummah, it completes my deen.  Not only that but it protects my modesty, also men have to cover themselves up as well, it works both ways.

 Here are some of the Verses from the Qur'an...;

 - There are a myriad of reasons why, but the easy, one sentence answer is, because they believe God has made it an obligation for believing women. In the Qur'an God tells the believing men and women to lower their gaze and to dress modestly.  He (God) specifically addresses women when He asks them not to show off their adornment, except that which is apparent, and draw their veils over their bodies.  (Qur'an 24:30-31)

- “And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Qur'an 24:31).

- “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Qur'an 33:59)

As you can see that we not only have to wear it 'just to cover ourselves', we wear it because we don't want men around us to look at us differently, we have to protect our modesty. So sisters if you are Muslim and not wearing a Hijab we strongly recommend you to wear one, otherwise you will deeply regret it on 'The Day of Resurrection', May Allah guide each and every Muslim individuals.

Jazak'Allah Khair - Peace be with you all...x

Summer Lookbook #HijabStyle



Here is another look that is ideal to wear in summer. I chose a burgundy colour blazer and paired it up with a burgundy/red maxi skirt. I added a different colour to it so that it isn't all the same colour. I matched it with a beige colour and I think that goes perfect together. For the footwear, I would prefer to wear nice and comfortable flats because it is summer and so you don't want anything too much. For accessories I just got a simple beige/gold bangle and it looks simple but goes very well together.

Hijab wise I would recommend that you wear a beige or gold type of Hijab, because if you wear a burgundy colour one then it'll look too much, you can still wear it, but I would wear a different colour to it, so it stands out.


 Here is one type of Hijab that you can pair up with the outfit, it will look great.

You can purchase this Hijab from 'Awra Hijab'...here’s a link to their website Awra Hijabs.

Please check their website out; their scarfs are amazing, really good quality.


Jazak'Allah Kair Sisters - Salaam x

Summer Styles - Hijabs

Here's some great ways of wearing a maxi skirt and styling it with your Hijab. 

This look is ideal for summer, so it won’t be too much for it. The outfits I have chosen here is a maxi skirt which everyone will mostly wear and you can pair it up with a simple white blouse or a peach colour blouse, something lighter then blue, otherwise it will look too much for the summer and it won't feel nice. I've paired this with vans because that's what I will normally wear, however for the summer I think sandals or flats will be perfect, but what can i say i love vans.

 For the accessories I’ve gone with a blue & gold bracelet which is very simple but nice. I then chose a simple bow necklace which will look awesome with the outfit; you don't necessarily have to wear the necklace because the Hijab will cover it anyways but even if you do wear it that still will look okay.

 Hijab wise; the Hijab has full coverage so it'll cover the chest area so that's not a problem at all. Makeup - wear simple makeup, because it's summer you don't want to put fill you face with cosmetics so just stick to the basic by wearing ; Eyeliner, Mascara and that's about it really. Well at least that what I will do.

The Merciful Servant ♡

Assalamu'alaikum Brothers & Sisters. Please check out The Merciful Servant's Channel their channel is so amazing and true. We were inspired by their spoken words and videos & so we decided to spread signs and messages around to the whole Muslim Ummah. After watching their video's our mind just switched, we were literally thinking like 'OMG' what the hell have we been doing for the past years & so we were determined to take heed to their powerful messages and change the way we used to do things. 

لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger". All we say is Turn to Allah أنتقل إلى الله because only Allah (SWT) can help you.

Please check out our videos too, inspired by The Merciful Servant and also in our own words & our views on the Muslim Ummah and society.


Salaam - Peace be with you all...
