Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Shalawat and greetings are poured out on the most noble Prophet and Messenger, Prophet Muhammad SAW, as well as on his family and friends. Amma ba’du:
O my beloved brothers! How many times have we gone through moments that forced us to leave something we like or are comfortable with, and we may have left it with the hope of getting Allah’s approval? Have we ever thought about the compensation that God promised us for that loss? As mentioned in one atsar:
Whoever leaves something because of Allah, Allah will reward him with something better than that.
“Whoever leaves something for Allah’s sake, Allah will surely replace it with something better than him.”
O my brothers whom I love for the sake of Allah! Indeed, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala has promised His pious servants, whoever leaves something in His path, be it in the form of wealth, passions, habits, or sins, then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala will replace him with something better, a replacement that is incomparable in value than with something that was lost. It could be that compensation is given in this world or in the afterlife, and we always hope for the best compensation in the form of the greatest reward in heaven.
It is narrated in an authentic hadith from Abu Qatadah and Abu Ad-Dahma’ that the Prophet sallallaahu Alaihi Wa Sallam once said:
You will never give up anything for fear of God Almighty unless God will give you something better than that.
“Indeed, you should not abandon something because of your devotion to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, but Allah will give you something better than that.” (Musnad Imam Ahmad volume 5 p. 363).
O brothers! This great promise gives us the spirit to be patient and brave enough to make sacrifices in staying away from things that are forbidden and staying away from desires that distance us from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, no matter how great the worldly losses that may befall us, because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala will not waste the reward of those who do good.
In Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim there is a narration from Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu ‘anhu that Rasulullah SAW said:
Allah Ta’ala says: If My servant wants to do an evil deed, do not write it down until he does it. If he does, write it that way. He left it for me, so write it down for him. And if he wants to do a charity but does not do it, then write it down for him as a good deed. If he does, write him ten times more, up to seven hundred times more. Weakness
“Allah says: ‘If My servant intends to do evil, then do not write it down until he does it. If he does it, write down one equivalent evil. But if he leaves it because of Me, write down for him one good deed. And if he intends to do good but has not done it, write down for him one good deed. If he really does it, write it down for him ten times as much to seven hundred times as much.'” (HR. Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
This is a promise from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, who will replace with abundant goodness for servants who abandon sin because they hope for His pleasure. This is a form of great mercy from our God.
It was also narrated from Sahal bin Muadz bin Anas Al-Juhani from his father that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said:
Whoever abandons his clothes because he is solemn before Allah, even though He has Almighty Power over him, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection before the creatures, so that He gives him a choice regarding all forms of faith. He wants to wear it
“Whoever abandons (luxurious) clothes because he surrenders to Allah even though he is able to wear them, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection in front of all creatures, then give him the choice of whatever clothes of faith he wants to wear.” (HR. At-Tirmidhi 2/79, Al-Hakim 4/183, Ahmad 3/439).
It was narrated from Sahal as well as from his father that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said:
Whoever abandons his desires even though he is able to realize them because of humility before Allah, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection above the heads of creatures.
“Whoever abandons a desire even though he is able, because he surrenders to Allah, Allah will surely call him on the Day of Resurrection in the presence of all creatures.” (HR. Imam Al-Bukhari in his book At the moment 6/2/101).
It was also narrated from Hudzaifah bin Al-Yaman that Rasulullah SAW said:
Looking at a woman is one of Satan’s poisoned arrows. Whoever leaves it out of fear of Allah, Allah will surely reward him with sweet faith in his heart.
“Looking at a woman is one of Satan’s poisonous arrows, whoever leaves her out of fear of Allah, Allah will surely give him faith so that he feels the sweetness of his heart.” (HR. Ahmad in Al-MusnadAl-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak volume 4 pp. 313, Al-Qudha’i in his book Al-Musnad volume 1 p. 195, and Ath-Thabrani in Al-Kabir NO. 10362).
O my beloved brothers! Pay attention to the story of the noble friend of the Prophet, Shuhaib Ar-Rumi Radhiyallahu ‘anhu, a man who had abundant wealth while in Mecca. When the polytheists increasingly oppressed him, he decided to emigrate to Medina, leaving his wealth and family in Mecca for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala and His pleasure. Allah gave him a better reward in the afterlife, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala made him one of the inhabitants of heaven, with His grace and mercy.
There are several verses from the Koran that were revealed regarding Shuhaib and other muhajirin, who left the world to gain Allah’s pleasure. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says:
And among humans there are people who sell themselves to seek Allah’s pleasure.
“And among humans there are those who sacrifice themselves to seek Allah’s pleasure.” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 207).
The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam also said to him: “O Abu Yahya, this is a profitable trade!” (HR. Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak and he considered this hadith to be authentic and fulfill Imam Muslim’s requirements for authenticity).
Pay attention to the story of the Prophet Yusuf Alaihissalam who abandoned the pleasures and adornments of the world, refused to fall into disobedience even though the temptation was so great, and he preferred to go to prison rather than betray the trust he carried. He says:
He said, “The prison authorities are dearer to me than they call me.” So the master responded.
“He (Yusuf) said: ‘O my Lord, I prefer prison to what they invite me to.’ then Allah answered his prayer.” (QS. Yusuf: 33-34).
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala answered his prayer and rewarded him with something better, giving him power on earth and a high position. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says:
And thus We placed Joseph on the face of the earth…and We do not waste the reward of those who do good.
“And thus We gave Yusuf a position (power) in the land, and We do not waste the reward of those who do good.” (QS. Yusuf: 56).
Give relief to someone who is in trouble, then Allah will forgive him
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu ‘anhu from the Prophet Shallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam that he said:
There was a man who owed money to others, and he often said to his young man: If you come in trouble, forgive him, perhaps God will forgive us. He said: Then he met God and departed from Him.
“Once there was a man who gave loans to people. He said to his servant: ‘If you come to someone who is in trouble (unable to pay his debt), then forgive him, may Allah forgive us.’ So when he met God, God forgave him.” (HR. Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
In another history, from Ibn Mas’ud, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said:
The angels met the spirit of man before you, and they said to him: Have you ever done any good? He said: No. They said: Remember. He answered: No, it’s just that I am someone who owes people, so I always order my servants to look after the rich and ignore the needy. Almighty God says: Beyond it.
“Indeed, the angels welcomed the soul of a man from the people before you. They said to him: ‘Have you ever done any good?’ He answered: ‘No.’ They said: ‘Try to remember it.’ He answered: ‘No, unless I first give loans to people, I order my servants to give freedom to those who can afford it and forgive those who have difficulty paying.’ Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala said: ‘Forgive him.’” (HR. Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
O my beloved brothers! Don’t be afraid to leave something for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, because Allah will not disappoint the hopes of those who have put their trust in Him. He will not reward His servants except with something better, so strengthen our determination in leaving behind things that invite the wrath of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, and increase our confidence that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala will reward us with something better than what we have lost.
We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala to make us among those who pay attention to what we say and follow it as best as possible, to help us in carrying out obedience to Him, and to grant us the highest heaven, Paradise without reckoning.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala always bestow blessings and blessings on our Prophet Muhammad SAW, as well as all his family and friends.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
