Making Excuses For Your Fellow Brothers & Sisters

Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azīz Ibn 'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abdur-Rahmān Ibn Bāz:

"What is prescribed for the believer is to respect his brother if he apologises to him and accept his excuse if possible, and to think positively of him whenever possible, in hopes that hearts will be free from resentment and that people will be brought together and will incorporate in doing good. It was narrated by `Umar ibn Al-Khattāb - may Allāh be pleased with him -

"Do not think badly of a word uttered by your brother, when you can find a good interpretation for it."

Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Bāz [26/365]

‘Abdullāh Ibn Muhammad Ibn Manaazil said:
"The Believer seeks excuses for his brothers, and the hypocrite seeks the mistakes for his brothers."
[Ash-Shu’ab, 7/11197]

Ja’far Ibn Muhammad said:
“If something that you dislike reaches you about your brother then search for one excuse for him up to seventy excuses. If it hits the mark, (then good). If not, then say, ‘Perhaps he has an excuse that I am not aware of.‘ ”
[Al-Jaami' Li Shu'ab Al-Īmān, 14/442]

Muhammad Ibn Sireen said:
“If something reaches you about your brother, then search for an excuse for him.
If you do not find an excuse for him, then make an excuse for him.”
[Al-Jaami' Li Shu'ab Al-Īmān, 14/441]

Abū Haatim said:
“Rebuking a person’s for their every mistake, even minor ones, constantly, will lead to the love diminishing.”
[Rawdhah, p. 182]

Fudayl Ibn ‘Iyaḍ asid:
“Whoever seeks a brother without faults would never have a brother to be his friend.”
[Rawdatul ‘Uqaalaa, p. 169]

Here's a list of excuses you can make (some maybe repeated, it can also be a reminder):

It is not valid to fast on the days of al-Tashreeq, whether that is a voluntary fast or an obligatory fast, except for pilgrims doing tamattu’ or qiraan, if they cannot find a sacrificial animal.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is not permissible to fast on the thirteenth of Dhu’l-Hijjah, whether that is a voluntary fast or an obligatory fast, because these are the days of eating and drinking and remembering Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade fasting on these days and did not grant a concession to anyone except for pilgrims doing tamattu’ who could not find a sacrificial animal.

Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn Baaz (15/381)

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

The days of al-Tashreeq are the three days after Eid al-Adha. They are called the days of al-Tashreeq because the people used to dry (yusharriqoon) the meat in the sun so that it would not turn rotten when they stored it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said concerning these three days: “The days of al-Tashreeq are the days of eating, drinking and remembering Allah.” As that is the case, i.e., their prescribed purpose in sharee’ah is for eating and drinking and remembering Allaah, then this is not a time for fasting. Hence Ibn ‘Umar and ‘Aa’ishah said: “No concession was granted allowing anyone to fast on the days of al-Tashreeq, except for the (pilgrim) who could not find a sacrificial animal” – i.e., those pilgrims who are doing tamattu’ and qiraan; they should fast for three days during Hajj and seven days when they go back home. If the pilgrim doing qiraan or tamattu’ cannot find a sacrificial animal, it is permissible for him to fast on these three days, so that the Hajj season will not end before he can fast them. Apart from that, it is not permissible to fast on these days; even if a person is obliged to fast two consecutive months, he must break his fast on the day of Eid and the three days after that, then he must resume his fast.

📌📌Backbiting poisons the hearts with hatred and malice📌📌

“Men are of four types:

There is the man who knows and he knows that he knows. He is knowledgeable, so follow him and ask him.

And there is the man who does not know, and he knows that he does not know. He is ignorant, so teach him.

And there is the man who knows, but he does not know that he knows. He is heedless, so remind him.

And then there is the man who does not know, but he does not know that he does not know [he thinks he knows]. This is the fool [idiot], so beware of him.”

Be careful who you hang with

Abu Musa reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

“Verily, the parable of a good friend and a bad friend is only that of a seller of musk and a blacksmith. The seller of musk will give you some perfume, you will buy some, or you will notice a good smell. As for the blacksmith, he will burn your clothes or you will notice a bad smell.”

Al-Layth ibn Sa'd (d. 175H) said,

"If I saw a person of desires (i.e. innovations) walking upon the water I would not accept from him."So Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee then said, "He (al-Layth) has fallen short. If I saw him walking in the air I would not accept from him."

Reported by as-Suyooti in Al-Amr bil 'lttibaa wan-Nahee 'anil-lbtidaa. Refer to Chapter Eight: On the Prohibition of Sitting with the People of Innovation, Listening to them, Arguing with them, To Abandon them and those who Associate with them.

The Mistake of Prostrating Before the Imaam
by The Albaani Blog
al-Imaam al-Muhaddith Muhammad Naasirud Deen al-Albaani

The Imaam said, “The brother here ­also reminded [us of] another ­­calamity common amongst those who pray and which is in opposition to the Sunnah: Al-Baraa ibn ’Aazib, may Allaah be pleased with him, said that when we would pray behind the Prophet ﷺ we would not prostrate until we saw that the Prophet ﷺ had placed his forehead on the ground.

Nowadays after saying, ‘Sami’Allaahu liman hamidah, Rabbanaa wa lakal-Hamd,’ the Imaam will barely have said, ‘Allaahu Akbar,’ except that the people [behind him] will have fallen down into prostration with him—this is a mistake.

He would say, ‘Allaahu Akbar,’ and when he was seen to have finished going into prostration and had placed his forehead on the ground, it was then that the row behind him would start to go into prostration with him ﷺ.”

Al-Hudaa wan-Noor, 183.

The Virtue of The early Morning and its Blessing

The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: “O Allah, bless my people in their early mornings.” When he sent out a detachment or an army, he sent them at the beginning of the day. Sakhr was a merchant, and he would send off his merchandise at the beginning of the day; and he became rich and had much wealth. [Sunan Abu Dawud Hadith Number 2606. Declared authentic by Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah) in his checking of Sunan abu Dawud]



Few Points of Benefit Related to the Above Hadeeth

This shows the importance of this time period and the greatness of the blessings and goodness with it…

*The Salaf used to dislike sleeping during this time, in order not to waste it in laziness and weakness…

*Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said that the Salaf disliked sleeping between after Fajr prayer and Sunrise because it is a time in which great benefit is obtained. And even when they stayed up late at night (i.e. in worship), they still stayed up until after sunrise, for indeed it is the early part of the day and its beginning time, the time in which provision descends, the time in which one receives his portion of provision and the time in which blessings are obtained….

Anger is worst thing.💥

In Anger , we do such things which we will never do when we are normal.
e.g We harm someone in anger or we abuse someone or break relations or fight or harm ourself
but when we become normal we realise how big mistake we did but again we can not go into past to change it. so Always control your anger.

How to control anger.
when you are getting angry

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to us: “If one of you gets angry when he is standing, let him sit down, and if that does not take away his anger, then let him lie down.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4782; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Reward for controlling Anger

�Abu Darda reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me about a deed that will admit me into Paradise.” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “ *Do not be angry and you will enter Paradise*.”�
[ Al-Muʻjam al-Awsaṭ 2411]
Classed Sahih (authentic) by Al-Albaani

BEFORE YOU LIE OR CHEAT OR STEAL OTHERS, THINK ABOUT IT.

On the authority of ‘Aeysha [رضي الله عنها] who said:

❝There was no behaviour more hated to the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] than lying. If he came across it from one of his Companions, then he would keep away from him until he knew that he had repented.❞

REPOSTING
"If a man's patience is stronger than his whims and desires, then he is like an angel, but if his whims and desires are stronger than his patience, then he is like a devil.

If his desire for food, drink and sex is stronger than his patience, then he is no better than an animal."

This world🌍 is more insignificant in the eye of Allah as dead lamb – Sahih Muslim


Sahih Muslim :Book 042, Number 705

Jabir b. Abdullah reported that Allah’s Apostle (Sallalaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) happened to walk through the bazar coming from the side of ‘Aliya and the people were on both his sides.

There he found a dead lamb with very short ears. He took hold of his ear and said:

Who amongst you would like to have this for a dirham?

They said: We do not like to have it even for less than that as it is of no use to us.

He said: Do you wish to have it (free of any cost)?

They said: By Allah, even if it were alive (we would not have liked to possess that), for there is detect in it as its ear is very short; now it is dead also.

Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: By Allah, this world is more insignificant in the eye of Allah as it (this dead lamb) is in your eye.
