🆕 💎Beautiful Benefit: Why It’s Best Complain to Allah About Yourself!
"الجَاهِلُ يَشْكُو اللهَ إِلَى النَّاسِ، وَهَذَا غَايَةُ الجَهْلِ بِالمَشْكُوِّ وَالمَشْكُوِّ إِلَيْهِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ عَرَفَ رَبَّهُ لَمَا شَكَاهُ، وَلَوْ عَرَفَ النَّاسَ لَمَا شَكَا إِلَيْهِمْ.
“The ignorant person complains about Allah to people, and this is the epitome of ignorance about the One complained about and the one complained to; for if he knew his Lord, he would not complain about Him, and if he knew the people, he would not complain to them.
وَرَأَى بَعْضُ السَّلَفِ رَجُلًا يَشْكُو إِلَى رَجُلٍ فَاقَتَهُ وَضَرُورَتَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا هَذَا! وَاللهِ مَا زِدْتَ عَلَى أَنْ شَكَوْتَ مَنْ يَرْحَمُكَ إِلَى مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُكَ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ قِيلَ:
One of the Salaf saw a man complaining to another man about his poverty and need, and he said: O you! By Allah, you haven’t accomplished anything more than complaining about the One who is merciful to you to someone who does not have mercy on you. It is said in this regard:
وَإِذَا شَكَوْتَ إِلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ إِنَّمَا ... تَشْكُو الرَّحِيمَ إِلَى الَّذِي لَا يَرْحَمُ
And if you complain to the son of Adam, you are ... complaining about the Merciful to the one who does not have mercy
وَالعَارِفُ إِنَّمَا يَشْكُو إِلَى اللهِ وَحْدَهُ.
And the knower (of Allah) only complains to Allah alone.
وَأَعْرَفُ العَارِفِينَ مَنْ جَعَلَ شَكْوَاهُ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ لَا مِنَ النَّاسِ؛ فَهُوَ يَشْكُو مِنْ مُوجِبَاتِ تَسْلِيطِ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ؛
The most knowledgeable of the knowers is the one who makes his complaint to Allah about himself, not about people; for (by doing so) he complains about the causes that lead to people dominating him.
فَهُوَ نَاظِرٌ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيدِيكُمْ﴾ [الشُّورَى: ٣٠]، وَقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَمَا أَصَابَكَ مِنْ سَيِّئَةٍ فَمِنْ نَفْسِكَ﴾ [النِّسَاءِ: ٧٩]، وَقَوْلِهِ: ﴿أَوَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ مِثْلَيهَا قُلْتُمْ أَنَّى هَذَا قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ﴾ [آلِ عِمْرَانَ: ١٦٥].
He does this reflecting on the words of Allah the Exalted: "And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned" [Ash-Shura: 30], and His saying: "And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned" [An-Nisa: 79], and His statement: "And when disaster struck you, although you had struck with one twice as great, you said, 'From where is this?' Say, 'It is from yourselves'" [Aal Imran: 165].
فَالمَرَاتِبُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: أَخَسُّهَا: أَنْ تَشْكُوَ اللهَ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ، وَأَعْلَاهَا: أَنْ تَشْكُوَ نَفْسَكَ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَوْسَطُهَا: أَنْ تَشْكُوَ خَلْقَهُ إِلَيْهِ".
Thus, the levels are three: the lowest is to complain about Allah to His creation, the highest is to complain about yourself to Him, and the intermediate is to complain about His creation to Him.”
"الجَاهِلُ يَشْكُو اللهَ إِلَى النَّاسِ، وَهَذَا غَايَةُ الجَهْلِ بِالمَشْكُوِّ وَالمَشْكُوِّ إِلَيْهِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ عَرَفَ رَبَّهُ لَمَا شَكَاهُ، وَلَوْ عَرَفَ النَّاسَ لَمَا شَكَا إِلَيْهِمْ.

It is a Fitnah when one is prevented from seeking beneficial knowledge and from doing righteous deeds.
Imaam Al-Awzaa

ee رحمه الله:
❝When Allaah تعالى intends evil for a people, He تعالى opens for them the door of argument (and quarrel), and prevents them from (doing righteous) Deeds.❞
📚 [Taareekh Damishq of Ibn Asaakir, Siyar Alaam al-Nubalaa' of al-Dhahabee]
May Allaah rectify our affairs, unite our ranks upon Truth, and guide us to that which He تعالى loves and is pleased with.
Not pointing to any one side, but this infighting is taking with it its share of casualties. We have already posted the statements of some of the sisters, and this is yet another one, this time, it is from a group of sisters.
Yet, when we say leave us out of this, it doesn't go well with many of them. Indeed the hearts of some are blinded to not notice the adverse effect this infighting is causing on the Dawah.👍11

WHO ARE THE STRANGERS ? (GHURABAH)
Abdullāh ibn Mas’ood (radiyallāhu ‘anhu), stated that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:
“Indeed, Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange just as it began, so glad tidings of paradise be for the strangers.”
It was said to the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam): “Who are they?” He (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) responded, “They are those who rectify when the people become corrupt”
This Hadith has been collected by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, Ahmad, and other than them from the scholars of hadeeth, and it has been declared authentic by Al-Albani.
In a narration, he (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Those who rectify themselves [and others] when people have become corrupt.” Reported by Ahmad and At-Tabarāni.
And there occurs in a report from ‘Amr Ibn al-‘Ās (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) was asked: “Who are they?” He (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) responded, “They are righteous people amongst many people who are evil, and those who obey them are few compared to those who disobey them.” In another narration: “Those who hate them are numerous"
In a report transmitted by Imam Ahmad and At-Tabarāni from the hadeeth of ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Amr (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Toobā is for the strangers"
It was said: “And who are the strangers?” He (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied: “A righteous people surrounded by an abundance of evil people. Those who disobey them are more numerous than those who obey them.”
Reported in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad (2/177). Imām Al-Albāni authenticated it in Saheeh al-Jāmi’ as-Sagheer (no. 3291).

The heart becomes rusty due to two matters: due to negligence and sins and it becomes illuminated with two things: with seeking forgiveness and Dhikr.”

The Reasons Which Cause Mahabbah (Love) of Allâh – Ibn Al Qayyim (Rahimahullaah)
:IMahabbah (Love) of AllâhIbn Al Qayyim – rahimahullâh – says
“The reasons which cause mahabbah of Allâh to develop, are ten
Firstly: Reciting the Qur‘ân, reflecting and understanding its meaning and its intent
Secondly: Drawing closer to Allâh – the Most High – through optional deeds, after fulfilling the obligatory duties
Thirdly: Being continuous in the dhikr (remembrance) of Allâh, with the tongue, the heart and the limbs – under all circumstances
The more constant the dhikr, the more mahabbah develops and intensifies
Fourthly: Giving precedence to what Allâh loves over personal loves, when being overcome by desires
Fifthly: Contemplating and deliberating over the Names and Attributes of Allâh
Sixthly: Recognising and remembering the favours and bounties of Allâh – both the manifest and hidden
Seventhly: To be humble and submissive before Allâh – and this is the greatest matter
Eightly: To be in seclusion reciting the Qur‘ân, during that time in which Allâh descends to the lowest heaven (which is the last third of every night), finishing this recitation with seeking Allâh’s forgiveness and repenting to Him
.Ninthly: To sit in the gatherings of true and sincere lovers of Allâh, reaping the fruits of their speech, and not to speak except if there is benefit in it and that you know that such talk will increase you in goodness and that it will benefits others as well
Tenthly: To stay clear of all those causes which distances the heart from Allâh – the Mighty and Majestic
So these are the ten reasons which cause the person to develop true love for Allâh and to reach the rank of al-muhabbah, by which he reaches his Beloved.” [Madârijus-Sâlikîn (3/17-1

*BEING KIND TO DEBTORS WHO FACE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES*
ALLĀH commands creditors to be patient with debtors who are having a hard time financially,
*وَإِن كَانَ ذُو عُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلَى مَيْسَرَةٍ*
*And If it is difficult for someone to repay a debt, postpone it until a time of ease.*
During the time of Jahiliyyah, when the debt came to term, the creditor would say to the debtor, "Either pay now or interest will be added to the debt."
ALLĀH encouraged creditors to give debtors respite regarding their debts and promised all that is good, and a great reward from HIM for this righteous deed,
*وَأَن تَصَدَّقُواْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ*
*And if you waive it as an act of charity, it will be better for you, if only you knew.*
meaning, if you forfeit your debts and cancel them completely.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Sulayman bin Buraydah said that his father said,
'I heard the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ say: *"Whoever gives time to a debtor facing hard times, will gain charity of equal proportions for each day he gives."'..*
Ahmad recorded that Muhammad bin Kab Al-Qurazi said that;
Abu Qatadah had a debt on a man, who used to hide from Abu Qatadah when he looked for him to pay what he owed him. One day, Abu Qatadah came looking for the debtor and a young boy came out, and he asked him about the debtor and found out that he was in the house eating.
Abu Qatadah said in a loud voice, "O Fellow! Come out, for I was told that you are in the house."
The man came out and Abu Qatadah asked him, "Why are you hiding from me?"
The man said, "I am having a hard time financially, and I do not have any money."
Abu Qatadah said, "By ALLĀH, are you truly facing a hard time?"
He said, "Yes."
Abu Qatadah cried and said, "I heard the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ say,
*"Whoever gives time to his debtor, or forgives the debt, will be in the shade of the Throne (of ALLĀH) on the Day of Resurrection."*
Muslim also recorded this Hadith in his Sahih.
Al-Hafiz Abu Yala Al-Mawsili recorded that Hudhayfah said that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said,
*"On the Day of Resurrection, one of ALLAH'S servants will be summoned before HIM and HE will ask him, "What deeds did you perform for ME in your life?"*
*He will say, "O Lord! In my life, I have not performed a deed for YOUR sake that equals an atom," three times.*
*The third time, the servant will add, "O Lord! You granted me wealth and I used to be a merchant. I used to be lenient, giving easy terms to those well-off and giving time to the debtors who faced hard times."*
*ALLĀH will say, "I Am the Most Worthy of giving easy terms. Therefore, enter Paradise."*

Muawiya ibn Abu Sufyan رضي الله عنه said,
"As for Abu Bakr, he never desired the world and the world did not desire him. As for 'Umar, the world desired him but he never desired the world. As for us, we have been soiled by the world inside out."

Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597 AH), may Allah have mercy on him:
"O brothers, the years are like phases, the months are like miles, the days are like yards, and breaths are like footsteps; good deeds are like your capital wealth and sins are like highway robbers; Paradise is like the profit earned from the journey, and Hellfire is the loss. For this reason, the pious make good use of all the time they have, trading good deeds at the marketplace of worship and therefore abandoning worldly pleasures."

If you knew how quickly people would forget you after your death, you would not live to please anyone but Allah.
لو علمت السرعة التي سينساك بها الناس بعد موتك ، لن تعيش لإرضاء أحد سوى اللّٰه.
