802. Mu`adh bin Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whoever gives up wearing elegant and expensive garments out of humbleness, when he can do so, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection and before all the creations, He will give him the choice to wear whichever garment of Iman he would like to wear.”

THE LOVING AND HATING WITH THE HEART
The true believers in Allah and His Messenger do not befriend the disbelievers.
If you really have the right (sound) heart you won't love them. Allah will not make you love them with your heart.
Allah is the One who made you love
Allah is the One who made you hate
Who makes the heart love and hate?
Imagine someone who rejected Allah and His Messenger, doesn't believe in Allah and His Messenger, will Allah direct the heart of a believer to love him?
If your heart is in the Hand of Allah and that person rejected Allah (disbelieved in Allah), do you think Allah will direct your heart to love that person? Impossible! That you find somebody who hold the proper belief in Allah and His Messenger love these people!
لا تجد قوما يؤمنون بالله واليوم الاخر يوادون من حاد الله ورسوله ولو كانوا اباءهم او ابناءهم او اخوانهم او عشيرتهم اولئك كتب في قلوبهم الايمان وايدهم بروح منه ويدخلهم جنات تجري من تحتها الانهار خالدين فيها رضي الله عنهم ورضوا عنه اولئك حزب الله الا ان حزب الله هم المفلحون
You will never find any people who truly believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred. For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah. Verily, the party of Allah will be the successful.
[Qur'ān 58:22]
Allah made you love Imaan and made your heart decorated by it and made you resent hate. So isn't what you love and hate supplementary action of who you are?
The fact that you're falling in love with a polytheist, that means something is wrong with your Imaan.
If you really have the right heart you cannot love them.
Because every love that a believer has in this world is a branch from the love of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ
Will Allah direct the heart of a believer to love a polytheist, someone who rejects Allah and His Messenger?
His heart is in the Hands of Allah and my heart is in the hands of Allah. If he loves Allah and I love Allah then certainly the hearts will merge.
Its an automatic process.
If you want my heart to fall in love with you why don't you fall in love with Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
===============================
The perfection of TAWHEED is found when there remains nothing in the heart except Allah, the servant is left loving those He loves and what He loves, hating those He hates and what He hates, showing allegiance to those He has allegiance to, showing enmity to those He show enmity towards, ordering what He orders and prohibiting what He prohibits.

The Keys to the Success – Imam Ibnul-Qayyim Rahimahullah
Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawzeeyah (d.751) -Rahimullaah- said:
Bukhari mentions in his ‘Saheeh’ from Wahab bin Munnabih that it was said to him: ‘Is not ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’ the key to Paradise?’
He said: ‘Of course, however there is no key except that it has teeth, so if a key is brought which has teeth then it will be opened, otherwise it will not open.’
Ibnul-Qayyim Rahimahullah continues:
‘Allaah Subhanahu has placed keys for everything that is necessary, and they open the way, so Allaah made purification the key for prayer, as the Messenger–sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:
‘The key to prayer is purification.’ [Saheeh al-Jamia as-Sagheer No.5885] .
Like wise
Ihram is the key to Hajj,
Truthfulness is the key to righteousness,
Tawheed is the key to Paradise,
Asking good questions and being attentive is the key to knowledge,
Patience is the key to victory and triumph,
Gratitude is the key to increase of provision,
Remembrance of Allaah is the key to having loyalty to Allaah and His love,
Taqwa (piety) is the key to success,
Fervent desire and dread of Allaah is the key to being successful,
Dua’ (Supplicating) is the key to being responded to,
Zuhd (Abstaining from the luxuries of the world) is the key to desiring the Hereafter,
Reflecting about that which Allaah calls His slaves to is the key to Eemaan (having faith),
Making the heart accept Islaam and making it secure for Allaah and having sincerity for Him by having love and hate and fulfilling His commands and leaving the prohibitions is the key to going in front of Allaah,
Pondering upon the Qur’aan, and imploring Allaah before dawn and not sinning is the key to giving the heart life,
Being kind to the worshippers of the Creator and striving to benefit His worshippers is the key to obtaining mercy,
Striving to seek forgiveness from Allaah and Taqwa (piety) is the key to Rizq (provisions),
Obedience to Allaah and His Messenger is the key to honour,
Longing for the Hereafter is the key to being prepared for the Hereafter,
Fervent desire for Allaah and the Hereafter is the key to all goodness,
Love for the world, continuously longing for it and turning away from the Hereafter is the key to all evil.
This is a great matter from the most beneficial chapters of knowledge, namely knowing the keys to goodness and evil.’

Anas [رضي اللّٰه عنه] narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Sufficient for you among the women of mankind are Mariam bint 'Imran, Khadijah bint Khuwailid, Fãtimah bint Muhammad and Asiyah the wife of Fir'awn."
Comments: The women mentioned in this narration were the best and superior women of their respective times. Khadijah is superior to all of them in the sense that she supported the Prophet morally and financially. 'Aishah is superior in the field of knowledge and its dissemination. Being the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ, Fatimah is superior.

▪️قال رسول الله ﷺ :
إذا ظهر الزنا والربا في قرية فقد أحلُّوا بأنفسهم عذاب الله .
📌[ صحيح الجامع (678) ]
(( If Zina (adultery) & riba (usury) become apparent / prominent in a village/place, they have allowed for the themselves the punishment of Allah upon them ))
SubhaanAllah !
Look at these 2 words in Arabic !
الزنا Zina
الربا Riba
only the dots differ ....but the 'adhaab is severe !
There's another narration where it says Riba has so many (around 70 baab) ways / paths...
Embarking the least amongs them is similar to Zina !!

Using such phrases as GOOD/BAD LUCK, LUCKILY/FORTUNATELY or UNLUCKILY/UNFORTUNATELY is HARAM
by The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta'
Bakr Abu Zayd, Salih Al-Fawzan, Abdullah ibn Ghudayyan, Abdul-`Aziz ibn `Abdullah Al Al-Shaykh
The first question of Fatwa no. 21699
Q 1: I want to know the ruling on the following frequently said phrases:
1. Bad luck and good luck.
2. All praise be to Allah, besides Whom no other can be praised for something bad.
3. I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of whoever has evil.
(Part No. 26; Page No. 367)
A: First: It is Haram (prohibited) to use the expressions: (luckily/fortunately) and (unluckily/unfortunately), because they are attributing the occurrence of good or adverse events to luck (fortune), which has no control over anything and is not the cause for good or ill fate. Allah (Exalted be He) says: Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. If the sayer of this thinks that such fortunes act by themselves, without the intervention of Allah, this is major Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship). However, if they think that everything is subject to Allah’s Decree Alone and they have only verbally said it, then it falls under polytheistic words, which conflicts with the obligation to have perfect Tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah). The basic ruling concerning this is the Hadith reported by Muslim in his "Sahih (Book of Authentic Hadith)", that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “There is no ‘Adwa (contagion, disease transmission naturally by itself not by the Decree of Allah), nor is there Hamah (pre-Islamic superstitious belief that the bones of a dead person turn into an owl), nor is there Naw’ (stars bringing rain), nor is there Safar (the month of Safar was believed to bring bad luck during pre-Islamic time).” Also, it was authentically reported in the two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) on the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid Al-Juhany (may Allah be pleased with him), who said, “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) led us in the Subh (Dawn) Prayer at Al-Hudaybiyyah after a rainfall during the night. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) had finished praying, he faced the people and said, ‘Do you know what your Lord has said?’ They replied, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said, ‘Some of My slaves have entered the morning as Mu’min (believers) in Me and (others) as Kafirs (disbelievers). Those who said, ‘We had rain by the Bounty of Allah and His Mercy,’ are believers in Me and disbelievers in the stars; and those who said, ‘We had rain by such-and-such a star,’ are disbelievers in Me and believers in the stars.’”
Second: Saying: "All praise be to Allah, besides Whom no other can be praised for something bad," is correct. There is nothing wrong in it.
(Part No. 26; Page No. 368)
Third: Saying: "I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of whoever has evil,'' is correct, as Isti‘adhah (seeking refuge with Allah from Satan) stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) carry that meaning, such as the Saying of Allah (Exalted be He): Say: "I seek refuge with (Allâh), the Lord of the daybreak, "From the evil of what He has created, It was authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) Used to seek refuge with Allah for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them), saying, “I seek refuge for you two with Allah’s Perfect Words from every devil and poisonous pest, and from every evil (envious) eye.” It was also authentically reported that Jibril (Gabriel, peace be upon him) performed Ruqyah (reciting Qur’an and saying supplications over the sick seeking healing) for the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he was ill. He said, “In the name of Allah I perform Ruqyah for you, from everything that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye, may Allah heal you, in the name of Allah I perform Ruqyah for you.” It was authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say in Khutbat-ul-Hajah (prelude to a sermon or speech):

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

“And whomsoever explains the Qur'an and Hadīth, and interprets them with an interpretation other than the famous explanations of the Companions and their successors, has lied upon Allāh. He is a wretched deviate with regards to his Qur'anic verses. He misrepresents his speech away from its correct places. This opens the doors to hercsy and deviation, and the falsehood of this is known by necessity in Islam.”

Check your circle. Do they fit the denoscription? Check yourself, do YOU fit the denoscription?
Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:
“A true Muslim brotherhood is one who keeps advising, reminding and directing you to the straight path. He never keeps himself away from you nor flatters you. Rather, he gives you counsel and admonishes you. He reminds you to be mindful of Allah. He shows the path of salvation so that you can follow it and warns you of treading the path of perdition so that you can steer clear of it.”
