Ibn al-Qayyim rahimullaah said,
“If Allaah puts a person under certain tests and trials and the person
recognizes that he must resort to Allaah alone seeking His help, then this is a good sign for him; the trials turn to purification and mercy.
If on the other hand, he rejects, complains, and turns away from Allaah and seeks help from human beings like himself, then this is a bad sign for him;
the trials turn to punishment and misery for him.”

Knowing a Man by his Moves:
It is reported that Al-A’mash – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
They (the Salaf) never used to ask about [the religious condition of] a man after knowing three things about him: where and upon whom he entered, where and with whom he walked, and the close company he kept.
Meaning: Knowing these things about a man is more than sufficient for knowing whether he is following the right path on the Sunnah or not. [Ibn Battah, Al-Ibānah article 419].
Further: - Umar ibn al-khattab (Radiy'Allah'anhu).
A man bore witness in the presence of `Umar ibn al-Khattaab (Radiy'Allah'anhu) `so `Umar said to him: “I do not know you, and it does not harm you that I do not know you, but bring someone who does know you.”
So a man said: ‘I know him, O Chief of the Believers.’
Umar said: “What do you know of him?”
The man said: ‘Uprightness.’
Umar said: “Is he your closest neighbour; so that you know about his night and his day, and his comings and goings?”
The man said: ‘No.’
Umar said: “So have you had (monetary) dealings with him involving dirhams and deenars, which will indicate his piety?”
The man said: ‘No.’
Umar said: “Then has he been your companion upon a journey which could indicate to you his good character?”
The man said: ‘No.’
Umar said: “Then you do not know him.”
Then he said to the man (who bore witness): “Bring me someone who knows you.”

🌴⭐️Four Principles of Worship – Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
Al-Ibaanah Magazine Issue No.3
Dhul-Qa’dah 1416H / April 1996
“(The Âyah): “You alone do we worship.” [Sûrah al-Fâtihah 1:5] is built upon four principles:- Ascertaining what Allâh and His Messenger love and are pleased with, from [i] the sayings of the heart and [ii] of the tongue; and [iii] the actions of the heart and [iv] of the limbs.
So al-’ubûdiyyah (servitude and slavery to Allâh) is a comprehensive term for all these for stages. The one who actualises them has indeed actualised: “You alone do we worship.”
The saying of the heart: It is i’tiqâd (belief) in what Allâh – the Most Perfect – informed about His Self; concerning His Names, His Attributes, His Actions, His Angels, and all that He sent upon the tongue of His Messenger sallallâhu ’alayhi wa sallam.
The saying of the tongue: It is to inform and convey (what Allâh has revealed), to call to it, defend it, to explain the false innovations which oppose it, to establish its remembrance and to convey what it orders.
The action of the heart: Such as love for Him, reliance upon Him, repenting to Him, having fear and hope in Him, making the Dîn purely and sincerely for Him, having patience in what He orders and prohibits, having patience with what He decrees and being pleased with it, having allegiance and enmity for His sake, humbling oneself in front of Him and having humility in front of Him, becoming tranquil with Him and other than this from the actions of the heart which are actually connected to the action of the limbs … and actions of the limbs without the action of the heart is of little benefit, if any benefit at all.
The action of the limbs: Such as Prayer and Jihâd, attending the Jumu’ah and being with the Jamâ’ah, aiding those who are unable and displaying goodness and kindness to the creation, and other than this.”

Being "religious" doesn't mean you have to sit in a mosque all day, give up on education, lose interest in maintaining your physical appearance and believe the whole world is nothing but a bunch of sinners except you and your friends.
The Alim is not the one who has the most knowledge, because Shaytan has a lot of knowledge. He has knowledge that most men don't have. Many people are mistaken by this. Rather the alim is the one who benefits others with his knowledge.
One must look to the stance the so called alims are taking. For you to know who is on the truth and who is upon falsehood, then you must study the Deen aswell. All deviant sects were started by alims and all religions before ours were deviated by alims so be careful from whom you take your Deen from.
The ulema of falsehood don't trick you with matters of opinions rather they trick you with what is a necessity of the Deen. Example they won't argue over whether you can wipe over your cotton sock or leather sock. They will manipulate your minds with al walaa wal baraa, Jihad, Khilafah, takfeer, Tawheed.
These are matters that every Muslim must learn. So be careful...🚫

Iblis said to Nooh : ‘There are five things that cause people to become destroyed’
‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (radhi Allaahu anhuma) said:
While on the Ark, [Prophet] Nooh (‘alayhis-salam) noticed an old man whom he did not recognise. Nooh inquired: ‘What brought you here?’ He replied: ‘I came to strike the hearts of your followers, so their hearts become with me, while their bodies with you.’ Nooh responded: ‘Leave O enemy of Allah.’
Iblis said: ‘There are five things that cause people to become destroyed (deviated). I will inform you of three and not of the other two’. It was revealed to Nooh that he needed not know the three, but that he should enquire about the two.”
Iblis said: ‘The two that are certain to work are: envy: I was cursed because of my envy, and became a stoned devil. And the second is eagerness (to have more) : The entire paradise was made permissible to Adam (‘alayhis-salam) . I got what I wanted from him because of his eagerness.’

NOTHING HIDDEN FROM ALLAAH ABOUT WHAT WE REALLY INTEND & THE REAL GOALS BEHIND OUR DEEDS!
Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ
And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men). Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves) All-Aware (of everything). [67:13-14]
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
*This is from the highest degree of affirmation (or confirmation), for indeed it has to be (the case that) the Creator knows His creatures. So if you affirm that indeed He is your Creator and the Creator of your hearts and what they contain (or all that is within the hearts), then how can (anything) be hidden from Him when (it is the case) that He created them?!
*And the statement [بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ – what is in the breasts (of men)] includes what the breasts contain of beliefs, intents, love and hate.

Are the luxuries of this Dunya🌍 for us?
ʿUmar (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu) said when once visiting the Prophet ﷺ, “I sat down and cast a glance at the room, and by Allah, I couldn’t see anything of importance but three hides. I said [to Allah’s Messenger], ‘Pray to Allah to make your followers prosperous, for the Persians and the Romans have been made prosperous and given worldly luxuries, though they do not worship Allah.’ The Prophet ﷺ was leaning then, so he sat straight and said, ‘O Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb! Do you have any doubt [that the hereafter is better than this world]? These people have been given rewards of their deeds in this world only.’ So I asked the Prophet ﷺ to seek Allah’s forgiveness for me.”

He inquired, “And what is Jawârish?” The man replied, “It is something that will help you digest your food if you get too full up.” Ibn ‘Umar said, “I have not eaten my fill for four months – not because I cannot find food, but because I have lived with people who used to eat their fill at times and go hungry at others.

There Are Many Books Of Tafseer, Which Tafseer Do You Advise (Us) To Read ? – Shaykh Fawzan
[4] Question:
Noble Shaikh, there are many books of tafseer, so which tafseer do you advise (us) to read. May Allaah reward you well.
[4] Answer:
The books of Tafseer are many, all praise be to Allaah. This is from the blessings of Allaah. However, these books of Tafseer vary – amongst them are those that are long and in depth and those that are short and abridged, as well as those that are free from errors and those that contain errors, particularly in matters of Creed.
What I advise my brothers from amongst the youth to read is the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer for it is the greatest of tafseers and the one that uses the best way and method (for interpreting the Qur’aan) in spite of it being abridged. This is since he (i.e. Ibn Katheer) has interpreted the Qur’aan using the Qur’aan first, then by using the Prophetic Sunnah, then with the statements of the Salaf, and finally by using the requisites of Arabic, the language in which it was revealed. So it is a precise and reliable tafseer.
There is also the tafseer of Al-Baghawee and the tafseer of Ibn Jareer At-Tabaree, which is a comprehensive and all-inclusive tafseer. These tafseer books are trustworthy. There is also the tafseer of Shaikh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sa’adee, which is an excellent tafseer using simple expressions which contain tremendous knowledge.
As for the remaining tafseer books, they are good in some aspects, however they have errors in them, especially in matters of Creed. It is not proper for anyone to read these types of tafseer books except for the person that is proficient in knowledge to the point that he is able to take the good from it and avoid its errors. But as for the beginner, he is not able to do this, so he must take from the tafseer books that do not contain dangers and errors, such as the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer, the Tafseer of Al-Baghawee and the Tafseer of Al-Haafidh Ibn Jareer. All of these books of tafseer are valuable and excellent, all praise be to Allaah.

But as for the beginner, he is not able to do this, so he must take from the tafseer books that do not contain dangers and errors, such as the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer, the Tafseer of Al-Baghawee and the Tafseer of Al-Haafidh Ibn Jareer. All of these books of tafseer are valuable and excellent, all praise be to Allaah.

💎 THE SCALE OF JUDGING IF ONE IS UPON THE TRUTH IS THE BOOK (QURAN) AND THE SUNNAH 💎
Many people today use the scale of judging if a person/group is upon the truth by (great) numbers...
Many followers of their lectures
Many followers on their Twitter
Many followers on their Facebook
Many numbers is NOT a sign that one is upon the truth or falsehood and this is a false ignorant scale of weighing (this matter)"

Translating and conveying the speech of the scholars
Naseeha to Student of Knowledge Those who criticise Ulama.
By: Shaykh.Abdul Muhsin Al Abbad( Hafidaullah)
Shaykh.Abdul Muhsin Al Abbad said :
Students of knowledge want to ask about the condition of other (students of knowledge or scholars), then they should refer their question to the headquarters of The *Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Fataawa* in Riyadh in order to ask about them. After all, are these the people who are returned to for fataawa and knowledge or not? And whoever has any information about the ( لﺎﺣ) condition of specific people, then it is possible for him to write a letter to the headquarters of The Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Fataawa, explaining to them what he knows about them so that they might look into it.
That way, if there is any (Tajreeh) or (Tahdheer) warning against someone, then it comes from those who are *returned to and depended upon for fataawa, and from those who knowledge is taken from.* And there can be no doubt that the proper place to Turn to for fataawa in these matters is the same place that should be returned to in order to find out from whom fataawa should be sought. And from whom should we seek knowledge?
*Furthermore, no one should try to establish himself as the one who is returned to for these important matters! Because, from the Good.
Islam of a person is his leaving off that which does not concern him!
Abu Hurairah who said that the Messenger of Allah said:
From the good Islam of a person is hisleaving off that which does not concern him.”
[Narrated by Imam At-Tirmidhi and authenticated by Shaykh Al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan At-Tirmidhi (Vol. 2, page 530 - 531, 2317 & 2318).]

Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee (rahimahullaah) narrated a story in his book Al-Jaami Bayaan Adab As-Saami with an authentic chain of transmission about one of the narrators of hadeeth - that he (i.e. this narrator) sought knowledge and was eager in meeting the learned men of the religion and taking knowledge from them; however he could not memorize. The days passed by but neither was he able to memorize nor understand. A long time elapsed and he was still in this state, so he thought that he was not able to (seek) knowledge and abandoned it. One day he was journeying again and (saw) water dropping on a rock, and this rock had a hole due to the effect of the water’s (drops) on it. So he looked and pondered, saying: ”this water with its softness has had an effect on this rock despite its thickness and knowledge is neither softer than water nor are my heart and intellect thicker than the rock.” So he returned to seeking knowledge from the beginning and became one the famous narrators of Hadeeth.
