How Many Recite The Book Of Allaah

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:

❝So many people recite the Book of Allaah Ta’ala. However, they recite it in wording and correctly recite its letters but they do not recite its meaning. They do not establish its Shari’a.

If you reflected upon the condition of the Islamic world today, you would find that most of the Islamic world are upon correctly reciting the letters, rather than establishing the meaning and the Shari’a.❞

[Taleeq Ala Saheeh Muslim, (2/11)]

Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:

Al-Hasan was asked: 'Why did the people of night prayer have the most beautiful faces?' He replied: 'That is because they are alone with the ever Merciful and He envelops them with light.

[The Heavenly Dispute, Där as-Sunnah Publishers, pg. 94]

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever leaves his house with ritual purification for a prescribed prayer, his reward will be like one performing a Hajj pilgrimage in a state of sanctity. Whoever leaves to glorify Allah in the forenoon, laboring only for this purpose, his reward will be like one performing the Umrah pilgrimage.”

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ

Anas ibn Mālik (رضي الله عنه):

كان المسلمون إذا دخل شعبان انكبّوا على المصاحف، فقرؤوها، وأخرجوا زكاة أموالهم تقويةً للضعيف والمسكين على صيام رمضان.

“When Sha‘bān began, the Muslims would devote themselves to the Muṣḥaf and recite it, and they would give out the Zakāh of their wealth to strengthen the weak and the needy for fasting in Ramaḍān.”

[Laṭā’if al-Ma‘ārif (1/135)]

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:

One of the righteous women used to pray the night prayer a lot. She was asked about that, so she said:

"Indeed, it (i.e., the night prayer) beautifies the face. And I would like my face to be beautified.

Allah didn’t remove the sea for Musa.
He parted it.

Allah didn’t extinguish the fire for Ibrahim.
He made it cool.

Allah didn’t directly heal Ayyub.
He guided him to the water.

Allah didn’t place dates in Maryam’s hands.
He instructed her to shake the tree.

Allah doesn’t always take away our hardships, but He provides a path through them.

So when we seek relief, don’t be surprised if it comes with challenges to overcome.🫀✨

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Do you think the righteous do not commit sins?

They simply hid them and didn’t expose them...

And sought forgiveness for them and did not insist on them...

And admitted to them and did not justify them...

And did goodness after they did wrong..

One of the salaf was asked, “How is the relationship between you and your religion?”

He said, “it is shredded by sins, and I patch it with seeking forgiveness (isitighfār).

How excellent is the question
And how deep is the answer!.”

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“Strive to distance yourself from anything that brings worry, sorrow, or distress so that you may always remain at ease, with a content and open heart, focused on Allah, His worship, and your worldly and spiritual affairs. If you practice this, you will find relief. However, if you burden yourself with regret over the past or excessive concern for the future in a way not sanctioned by Islamic teachings, know that you will exhaust yourself and miss out on much goodness.”
(Fath Dhi al-Jalali wal-Ikram 3/533)

Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه said : I will verily narrate a hadīth to you, that no-one after me will ever narrate to you : We were sitting with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he laughed, and he said : ‘Do you know why I laughed?’ They said : ‘Allāh and His Messenger know best.’ He said : “I was amazed at the believer. Verily, Allāh ﷻ does not decree any decree for him, except that it is good for him.”

مسند أبي يعلى (4218)

معجم الشيوخ (p. 167, 169)

Closeness to Allah is incomparable to anything in this world. Once you reach that level of iman, you will truly understand.

✒️ On the authority of ‘Aeysha who said: that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

❝Indeed a man reaches the level of the one who prays the night prayer and fasts during the day, due to his good manners.❞

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of al-Albāni, (No. 795) 📚| Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

May Allah bless you with people who have pure intentions for you, may He bless you with people who have genuine love and care for you, may He bless you with people who care for your Deen and your dunya. And may He bless you with people who pray for you.🤍

"The ignorant one complains about Allāh to the people! This is the height of ignorance in complaining and in whom the complaint is about. For if a person were to truly know his Lord, he would never complain of Him. If he truly knew people, he would never complain to them … The gnostic complains only to Allāh, and the most knowledgeable of the gnostics are those who complain to Allāh about themselves, not others … So there are three levels: The most contemptible of them is to complain to people about Allāh; the loftiest of them is to complain to Allāh about oneself; the middle level is to complain to Allāh about others."

Taken from al-Fawa’id by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim

Shaykhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله stated:

"No one intentionally lies except one who is from the worst of the people."

Shaytan is working overtime in the Month of Shabaan!

If you pay attention, you’ll notice that every year, just before Ramadan, he distracts us with the most insignificant matters, petty arguments, unnecessary worries, and pointless distractions. Why? Because he knows that if you wake up now, you’ll enter Ramadan with strength and devotion.

Don’t let him win.

Rise with a strong intention. Take a step closer to Allah today. Focus on your worship. Protect your heart.

These days are precious, don’t waste them!

The Prophet ﷺ said about Shabaan:
ذاك شهر يغفل عنه الناس بين رجب ورمضان
“That is a month people neglect between Rajab and Ramadan.

Don’t be among those who are heedless!

:) :) :) Especially for you..

When you feel all alone in this world
And there’s nobody to count your tears
Just remember, no matter where you are
Allah Knows. Allah Knows.

When you carrying a monster load
And you wonder how far you can go
With every step on that road that you take
Allah Knows! Allah Knows!

When you lose someone close to your heart
See your whole world fall apart
And you try to go on but it seems so hard
Allah knows
Allah knows.

Here are the lessons we can learn from Surah Ad-Duha 🌸

Hard times don’t last forever:

Life can feel heavy sometimes, but remember, every storm eventually passes. The trials you face today will lead to ease and comfort, In Sha Allah. Hold on, be patient, and trust that Allah has already planned your relief.

Allah is always with us:

Even in moments when your heart feels empty and the world feels silent, know that Allah has never left you. He sees your pain, hears your whispers, and is closer to you than you can imagine. Trust in His mercy and love.

Be grateful for what you have:

When life feels overwhelming, pause and look at the blessings around you, the gift of breath, the warmth of love, or even a small moment of peace. Gratitude softens the heart and reminds us of Allah’s endless kindness. 🤍

On the life of Shaykh ul-Islām ibn Taymiyyah, his Trials, and Steadfastness.

Shaykh Rabee’ al-Madkhali bin Hāfi al-Madkhali, [may Allāh preserve him], said:

“Shaykh ul-Islām ibn Taymiyyah [may Allāh have mercy upon him] endured countless forms of harm; he was imprisoned repeatedly and ultimately passed away within the confines of a prison cell. Despite this, he dedicated himself to raising the Word of Allāh, standing firm against all deviant sects and misguided groups, whether they were Jews, Christians, atheists, heretics, superstitious Sufis, or the Rāfidhah (extreme Shi'ites). He boldly entered every arena to uphold the Word of Allāh and champion the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allāh, صلى الله عليه وسلم. By Allāh’s grace, he triumphed over their falsehoods and exposed the futility of their corrupt ideologies, as Allāh the Exalted says:

“And declare, “The truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to vanish.” [Surah āl-Isrā: 81]

In spite of his relentless academic and physical efforts in the path of Allāh, his adversaries persisted in harming him, plotting against him in every conceivable way. Yet, whenever they confronted him, they were humbled and subdued, be they rulers or commoners. When he was released from prison, they conspired to have him imprisoned once more. Over the years, he endured long periods of incarceration, bearing it all with patience and unwavering resolve, until he finally met his Lord, Exalted and Glorified, as a prisoner, [may Allāh elevate his rank and raise him with the Prophets, the Truthful, and the Martyrs on the Day of Resurrection].”
