A HADEETH REGARDING THE GRAVE DANGER OF PASSING JUDGEMENTS BASED ON IGNORANCE OR DESIRES
'

Buraydah narrated from his father, who narrated that the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

”Judges are of three types, one of whom will go to Paradise and two to Hell. A man who knows the truth and judges with it will enter paradise; a man who knows the truth but judges with the opposite of it will enter the fire, and a man who judges for the people based on ignorance will enter the fire.’’

[THis Hadeeth was reported by Imaam Abu Dawud (rahimahullaah)- Hadeeth Number 3573- & Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah) declared it to be Saheeh (authentic) in his checking of Sunan Abee Dawood’ page 541. Publisher: Maktaba Al-Ma’aarif, 1st Edition, ISBN Number: 4112932]

It is reported that ʿAlī – Allāh be pleased with him – said:

When you learn knowledge, preserve it, and do not mix it with laughter and falsehood, such that the hearts refuse (dislike) it.

Al-Khaṭīb Al-Baghdādī, Al-Jāmiʿ li-Akhlāq Al-Rāwī wa Ādāb Al-Sāmiʿ 1:232

Fudayl ibn ‘Iyaad 187 AH (May Allah have mercy on him) said,

عن الفضيل بن عياض قال:لَم يتزيّن الناس بشيء أفضل مِن الصدق و طلب الحلال.

“Mankind is not beautified by any thing more virtuous than having truthfulness and seeking halaal”

» Indeed This Knowledge Is Deen, So Look To The One You Take Your Deen From
-Shaykh Fawzaan Hafidhahullah
Imaam Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah) said: 'Indeed, This knowledge Is Deen, So Look To The One You Take Your Deen From

Sheikh Ahmad Bin Umar Bazmool (hafidha-hullaah) stated in explanation of the above statement of Imaam Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah):

Indeed, Allah (Azza-Wa-Jal) has commanded us this (affair) when He (Azza-Wa-Jal) said: 'So ask the people of the Dhikr (the Reminder), if you do not know'. [21:7]

Allah commanded us to ask the people of the Dzikr (the Reminder), and the Salafus Saalih clarified that the Ulama are the people of the Dhikr. So Allaah (Azza-Wa-Jal) specifying the Ulama as (those) to be asked is evidence that others besides them are not to be asked. And likewise, Imaams Bukhaari and Muslim reported in the Saheehayn on the authority of Aa'isha (radiyallaahu-anhaa) that the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) recited the statement of Allah (Azza-Wa-Jal):

''It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'aan)
In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book [and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkaam (commandments, etc.), Al-Faraa'id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudud (legal laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers, etc.)]; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials, etc.), and seeking for its hidden meanings, but none knows its hidden meanings save Allaah.'[3:7]

(Then after reciting the above ayah), he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: 'If you see those who follow thereof that is not entirely clear, then they are those whom Allaah has named [as having deviation from the truth]. So beware of them'[1]

In this hadeeth is a warning against a people who give out knowledge, teach and issue verdicts. So their condition must be known.

Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) said: ''In this hadeeth is a warning against mixing with the people of deviation, the people of bidah and those who seek after the difficult affairs (of the Religion), seeking by it fitnah. So they are not to be consented to, rather (they are to be) restrained and subdued just as Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu) subdued Sabee Bin Asl when he sought after the Mutashaabih (the unclear verses).

DEMOCRACY ⚖🏛

"Democracy—simply defined—is the rule of the majority. What the majority of people feel about a topic has no place in a discussion on the rulings of al-Islām. In fact, based upon many clear Verses of the Qur’ān, the majority’s stance on a matter by default is a whimsical position of misguidance and ingratitude. Allaah Subḥānahu wa Ta’āla said:

{وان تطع اكثر من في الارض يضلوك عن سبيل الله ان يتبعون الا الظن وان هم الا يخرصون}

“If you were to obey most people on Earth, they would lead you away from the Path of Allaah. They follow nothing but conjectures, and they do nothing but lie.” سورة الأنعام، ١١٦

For further study of Allaah’s denoscriptions of how the majority do not believe, understand, reflect, nor give thanks, read the following Qur’ānic Verses: Sūratul-Baqarah: 243; Sūratul-A’rāf: 17 and 187; Sūrah Yūnūs: 60; Sūrāh Ḥūd: 17; Sūrah Yūsuf: 21, 38, 40, 68, 103 and 106; Sūratun-Naḥl: 38; Sūratul-’Isrā: 89; Sūratul-Furqān: 50; Sūratun-Naml: 61; Sūrat ar-Rūm: 6 and 30; Sūrah Saba’: 28 and 46; Sūrah Ghāfir: 57 and 61; Sūratul-Jāthiyyah: 26.”

— Abul-Abbās Mūsā Richardson, Bakkah.net mailing list.

Shaikh Muḥammad Amān Ibn Alī al-Jāmī [d.1416Ḥ—Raḥimahullāhu Ta’āla]: “If a person were to engage in democratic elections and believed those laws are better or equal to the aḥkām [ruling/laws] of al-Islām, then they have nullified their al-Islām.”

Ibn Abee Haatim(.328H) Rahimahullaah said:

”I entered Damascus and came upon the students of hadeeth, and I passed by the circle of Qaasim al Joo’ee(d.248 AH). I found a group sitting around him and he was speaking. Their appearance amazed me; and I heard him saying:

”Seize The Benefit Of Five Things From The People Of Your Time:

When you are present, you are not known;

When you are absent you are not missed;

When you are seen, your advice is not sought;

When you say something, your saying is not accepted;

And when you have some knowledge, you are not given anything for it.

I Also Advise You With Five Matters:

When you are treated unjustly, do not behave unjustly;

When you are praised, do not become happy;

When you are criticised, do not become upset;

When you are not believed, do not become angry;

And if people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully towards them.”

Ibn Abee Haatim said: ”So I took that as my benefit from Damascus.”

👑🍁Tests For the Believer (taken from salafipublications.com)
---------------------------

-🍀HARDSHIPS BENEFIT THE BELIEVER

Allah has decreed that, in this life, hardships & disasters strike both believers & non-believers.For a non-believer, they are inconveniences that hinder him from proceeding with his normal involvment in the wordly life. For a believer, on the other hand, they are instances of rest & rememberance,tests that promise great rewards,& indications of atonment and expiation of sins.Regardless of how little is the harm that strikes a believer,it carries with it good news of forgivness and elevated rank ( in Jannah ).The Righteous Predecessors used to be pleased when a hardship afflicted them,seeing it as a token of Allah's forgivness & benevolence.

-🍀EXPIATION OF SINS

Abu Hurayrah (radiallaahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" Hardships continue to befall a believing man & woman in their body, family, & property, until they meet Allah (S) burdened with no sins. "[ Tirmithee ]

-🍀SIGN OF ALLAH'S LOVE

Abu Hurayrah (radiallaahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" Whenever Allah wills good for a person,He subjects him to adversity"[ Bukharee & others ]

-🍀SIGN OF EEMAN

Abu Hurayrah (radiallaahu anhu) & Ka'b Bin Maalik (radiallaahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" The parable of a believer is that of a fresh & moist plant; the wind tilts it this way and that way; and so is the believer; he continues to be subject to affliction. & the parable of a hypocrite is that of a firm cedar tree; it does not shake - until it is uprooted all at once." [ Bukharee and Muslim ]

-🍀SIGN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

The prophets & righteous people are afflicted the most, & their rewards are the highest. Sa'd (radiallaahu anhu) reporeted that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" The most in their suffering among the people are prophets, then the best, then the (next) best. One is afflicted in accordance with his deen (faith).If his deen is firm his affliction is hard,&if his deen is weak, his affliction is light. Indeed, one would be so much subjected to adversity until he walks among the people without any sins."[ Ahmad, Tirmithee ]

🍀EARLY PUNISHMENT

Anas (radiallaahu anhu)reported that Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" When Allah wills good for a servant of His,He expedites his punishment in this life;& when He wills retribution for a servant of His, He holds his sins for Him to judge him by them on the Day of Resurrection."[ Tirmithee]

-🍀MULTIPLICATION OF REWARDS

Anas(radiallaahu anhu)reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" The amount of reward is in accordance with the amount of suffering. When Allah (SWT) loves some people,He tries them (with affliction).He who then is content (with Allah's decree) has achieved the acceptance (of Allah), and he who is dissatisfied (with Allah's decree) will attain the anger (of allah)." [ Tirmithee ]

-🍀REWARDS FOR SICKNESS

One should not look to sickness as a gloomy episode, but should remember the great good in it. It is one form of affliction with which Allah (SWT) tests His 'ibaad (servants), giving them a chance to aquire rewards, as was explained above, as is further emphasized below.

-🍀REMOVAL OF SINS& ELEVATION IN RANKS

Abu Hurayrah (radiallaahu anhu) reported that Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" Whenever a Muslim is afflicted by harm4m sickness or other matters, Allah will drop his sins because of that, like a tree drops its leaves."[ Bukharee&Muslim ]

Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (radiallaahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

" A muslim is not afflicted by hardship, sickness, sadness, worry, harm, or depression - even if pricked by a thorn, but Allah expiates his sins because of that. " [ Bukharee & Muslim ]

Well there is an opportunity to get the feeling of Ramadan back again by fasting this week beginning Monday 18th July 2016.

These are some beneficial days we should try to fast:

🕌 Monday 18th July 2016 - 13th Shawwāl 1437 - Sunnah to fast every Monday - also first 'white day'

🕌 Tuesday 19th July 2016 - 14th Shawwāl 1437 - second 'white' day

🕌 Wednesday 20th July 2016 - 15th Shawwāl 1437 - third 'white' day

🕌 Thursday 21st July 2016 - 16th Shawwāl 1437 - Sunnah to fast every Thursday

After this you can add more days to complete the 6 days of fasting Shawwāl which follow Ramadan, if you haven't already done so.

Hasten in performing the good deeds and become closer to your Lord.

تقبل الله صيامكم

Jubayr ibn Nufayr reported that Mu'adh ibn Jabal (Radiy'Allah'anhum) said, "If you love someone, do not quarrel with him and do not annoy him. Do not ask others about him, for the one you ask might be his enemy and thus tell you things about him that are not true and thus break you apart."

(Hadith - Bukhari's Book of Manners 545)

Different types of Modesty & Shyness – Imam Ibn al Qayyim

By Shaykh ul –Islaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah as-Salafi -Rahimullaah-
From his book ‘Madaarij as-Saalikeen’
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751) -Rahimullaah- said:

‘Al-Hayaa (modesty) is divided into 10 subdivisions:

Hayaa Jinayah (the shamefulness of committing a crime), Hayaa Taqseer (the shamefulness of deficiency), Hayaa Ijlaal (the modesty regarding the magnificence of Allaah), Hayaa Karm (modesty in being hospitable), Hayaa Hishmaa (shyness in personal matters), Hayaa Istissghar lilnafs (modesty and humbling one’s soul), Hayaa Muhabbah (bashfulness of love), Hayaa Uboodeeyah (shyness in worship), Hayaa Sharaf wa Izzah (being ashamed of his own nobility and honour) and Hayaa (being shy) of one who is modest from his own self.

As for:

1. Al-Hayaa (the shamefulness) of committing a crime:

From this is the Hayaa of Aadam -alaihi salam- when he fled in Paradise.

Allaah Ta’ala said ‘Are you escaping from Me O Aadam?’ he answered: ‘No, my Lord rather being ashamed in front of You.’

2. Hayaa Taqseer (the shamefulness of deficiency):

This is like the Hayaa of the Angels who glorify Allaah day and night and do not disobey Him and when the Day of Judgment comes they say ‘You (O Allaah) are far from imperfection and we did not truly carry out Your worship.’

3. Hayaa Ijlaal (modesty regarding the magnificence of Allaah):

This Hayaa is of having knowledge, it is the level of knowledge a slave has of his Lord – then the level of his Hayaa in this, will be in accordance to his level of knowledge of Allaah.

4. Hayya Karm (modesty in being hospitable):

Like the Hayya of the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– from the people when they called him to the Walima (wedding party) of Zainab and they sat with him for a very long time and he stood up and was shy from telling them to leave.

5. Hayaa Hishmaa (Shyness regarding personal matters):

Like the Hayya of Ali bin Abi Taalib -radiAllaah anhu – in asking the Prophet regarding the discharge/wetness a man feels when being aroused, due to the status of the Prophet’s –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– daughter.

6. Hayaa Istissghar lilnafs (modesty and humbling one’s soul):

Like the Hayaa of the slave of Allaah from His Lord when he asks Him for his needs, whereby he realizes that he is so needy and is humbled by it.

There could be two reasons for this type of Hayaa:

a) The questioner regards himself as small and insignificant and regards his sins as great in number.

b) He (the questioner) regards the One he is asking (Allaah) as Great.

7. Hayaa Muhabbah (bashfulness of love):

This is the Hayaa of the one who loves when he remembers what he feels for his beloved, to such an extent that if this feeling occurs to him in the absence of his beloved then it stimulates the Hayaa in his heart and reaches his face (bashfulness) and he does not know why he feels this is.

8. Hayaa Uboodeeyah (shyness in worship):

This Hayaa is combined with love and fear and one witnesses that his worship of the One being worshipped (Allaah) is not good enough and the worth and value of the One being worshipped is higher and more magnificent than his worship. Thus this worship will certainly obligate his feeling shy of Allaah.

9. Hayaa Sharaf wa Izzah (being ashamed of nobility and honour):

If the value and the goodness of his sacrifice, giving and goodness is less (than he is capable of) then Hayaa emanates from this great and powerful soul and his soul becomes ashamed even though he has sacrificed (but it is not according to the caliber of his capability).

10. As for the Hayaa of the person from his own self:

It is the Hayaa of the honorable, noble and lofty soul, which is not pleased with the deficiency within itself, which is(the deficiency) of being satisfied with less (goodness). So he finds himself being shy from himself to such a degree that it is as though he possesses two souls one soul feels shy from the other.

This is the most complete type of Hayaa, because

if a soul feels shyness from his own self then it will obviously feel a greater shyness from other than himself.’

Shyness is of two types : My Advice to the Women : Umm Abdillah al-Waadi’iyyah

Source: My Advice to the Women – Umm Abdillah al-Waadi’iyyah – pgs 253-259

Shyness is of two types:

1. What consists of character and disposition and cannot be acquired. Shyness is the behavior Allah granted the servant. The Prophet sallallahu alayhe was salaam said ” Shyness brings about nothing but good.” It prohibits a person from committing despicable actions and displaying degrading behavior.

2.What is attainable through knowing Allah and knowing His greatness as well as His closeness to His servants.His overseeing them, and His knowledge of what deceives the eyes while being hidden in the chests.

Shyness from Allah may be caused by witnessing and reflecting over His blessings and the shortcomings associated with being thankful for them.

The praiseworthy shyness is the behavior that encourages the performing of commendable actions and abandoning the wretched.

Concerning the statement : ” If you do not feel shy then do as you wish .” One meaning is that it does not command to do whatever you wish, but it conveys a meaning of blame and prohibition. One way of interpreting it is that it conveys a threat/warning. The second way to interpret it is that it is a way of conveying information. The thing that prohibits a person from doing bad actions is shyness.

An-Nawawee said , The Scholars said that the reality of shyness is the character that encourages the abandonment of despicable actions and prevents against negligence concerning the rights of the people who possess rights over others.

Aboo Al Qaasim al Junayd said Shyness is recognizing Allahs favors, meaning His blessings and the recognizing of ones own negligence in light of them both.

When shyness is lost, every type of evil is committed.

There are five signs of wretchedness :

1. The harshness in the hearts
2. The unflinching eye
3. The lack of shyness
4. The seeking of worldy pleasures.
5. Longevity in life

An example of shyness is Asmaa bint Aboo Bakr in the hadeeth where she carried the date stones and was offered to ride behind the Prophet sallallahu alayhe was salaam but was too shy.

This is the most complete type of Hayaa, because if a soul feels shyness from his own self then it will obviously feel a greater shyness from other than himself.’

Allocating time for seeking knowledge and household chores
-Shaykh Salih al-Fawazaan

Question:

Which of the two is more virtuous for a Muslim woman; should she fulfill the household duties and the rights of her husband, or should she allocate time for seeking knowledge (of the religion) and employ a foreign servant to fulfill the household duties?

Answer: Yes, it is obligated on a female Muslim to seek understanding of her religion as much as she is able. But the obligation to serve her husband, obey her husband (i.e. in that which is lawful) and nurture her children is a great obligation. She should allocate time to study everyday even if that is little, or sits for a short while, or she allocates some time to read every day and utilises the remaining time to fulfill her daily chores.

So, she neither abandons seeking understanding of her religion nor does she abandon her chores and children to the servant. She should be moderate in this affair- allocates time for seeking understanding even if that is little and allocates enough time to fulfill the household chores.

It seems hijab has become a fashion statement. Sisters making hijab tutorials. Sisters designing hijabs as a business & styling hijabs. Sisters using hijabis as models for makeup businesses & this is just a few..

Wallahi my sisters, I do not benefit from this, this is a deep reminder that our hijab is not a game. Yes we all start somewhere but it's your duty to act upon things not just ignore them.

Makeup
Nails
Eyebrows plucked/waxed/shaped
High heels
Purfume
Camel hump bun
Feet uncovered/ankles showing
Attractive prints & colours
Tight clothing etc.

This is not hijab.. And this will only have you land in the group of women who will not even SMELL jannah even though it's scent can be smelt from years away!

💡As one of the minor signs before the Day of Judgment, Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) mentioned: “There will be women who will be dressed but they will be naked. Their heads will be like the humps of camels. They will not enter Jannah and will not even smell the scent of Jannah while it can be smelt from a far distance.” [Sahih Muslim]

💡Allah's Messenger (saws) said: Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make others incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas it odour would be smelt from such and such distance (from great distance).

💡It is proven that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance is a zaaniyah.”

Narrated by Imam Ahmad (19212) and al-Nasaa’i (5126); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami‘.

💡Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”

[al-Noor 24:31]

💡The evidence for that is the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Allaah has cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, the woman who plucks eyebrows (al-naamisah) and the one who has it done (al-mutanammisah), and the one who files her teeth for the purpose of beauty, altering the creation of Allaah.”

The proof is there sisters, if your going to look for loopholes your only fooling yourself. Allah knows what's in your heart for he is all-Knowing & all-Seeing!

May Allah protect us & guide us & save us from becoming one of these women who will not even smell jannah...Aameen. .
