On hearing a bad news
When you are sad
الْحَمْـدُ للهِ على كُـلِّ حَالٍ
"Alhamdu lillahi 'alaa kulli haal"
Praise is to Allah in all circumstances.

The Best of Both Worlds
Abdullaah ibn Mas`ood radiallaahu `anhu relates that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam would supplicate:
“O Allaah! I ask You for guidance, piety, safety and well-being, and contentment and sufficiency.” (Allaahummaa innee as’alukal-hudaa wat-tuqaa wal-`afaafa wal-ghinaa). [Related by Muslim, no 2721]
Imaam as-Sa`dee (d. 1376 AH) – rahimahullaah – said in [Bahjatul Quloobul-Abraar (p.198)]:
“This du`aa (supplication) is from the most comprehensive and beneficial du`aas (supplications), since it includes asking Allaah for well-being with regards to both the Religion and the world.
Thus, al-hudaa (the guidance) is beneficial knowledge, and at-tuqaa (i.e. taqwaa or piety) is righteous actions and leaving-off what Allaah and His Messenger have forbidden; and this is (asking) for correctness and well-being of a person’s Religion.
For indeed, the Religion comprises of beneficial knowledge and recognising the truth – which is guidance – and standing firm upon obedience to Allaah and His Messenger sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam – and this is piety.
And al-`afaafa (well-being and safety) and al-ghinaa (contentment and sufficiency) comprises of being safe from (the harms of) the creation and that the heart is not attached to them.
And it also comprises of being content with Allaah and what He provides, and seeking whatever will cause the heart to be satisfied with Him. So with this, happiness in this worldly life is completed, and the heart tastes true sweetness and delight – and this is a goodly life.
So whosoever is granted the provision of guidance, piety, well-being and contentment has indeed achieved true happiness, and has acquired all that could be possibly sought after, as well as being saved from all that is dreadful and frightening.”

Punishment or Trial. ⁉️
Ibn ul Qayyim said, “If Allah puts someone under a trial and he recognises it, he must resort to Allah and this is a good sign and the trial turns into purification and mercy but if he rejects it, complains and turns away and resorts to humans, then this is bad for him and this trial turns into a punishment.” (Tareequl Hijratayn, #103, pg. 25)

SOME OF THE FRUITS OF TAQWA AND GOOD MANNERS!
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) gathered between fear of Allaah and good manners because fear of Allaah rectifies the (relationship) between a slave and his Lord, and good manners rectifies the (relationship) between a person and Allaah’s creatures. Fear of Allaah makes a person deserving of Allaah’s love and good manners brings about the love of the people for him.

THE PEOPLE OF THE HEREAFTER ARE THREE: WHO ARE THEY?
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said that Bishr Bin Haarith (rahimahullaah) said: The people of the hereafter are three: The Aabid, the Zaahid and the Siddeeq.
The Aabid worships Allaah (i.e. with love, fear and hope) whilst being attached to searching for (permissible) provision. The Zaahid worships Allaah (i.e. with love, fear and hope) whilst keeping away from attachment to the (unnecessary) worldly things. The Siddeeq worships Allaah (i.e. with love, fear and hope) together with pleasure and conformity. He takes from the (permissible) worldly things when he sees it fit to (do so) and abandons it when he sees it fit (to do so). [Slightly paraphrased. Al-Fawaa-id: page: 175]
Who is an Aabid? [A devout worshipper]
Who is a Zaahid? [He is one who abandons those permissible things he is not in need of, which also are not of any benefit to him in the afterlife. (See Madaarij As-Saalikeen). Sufyaan Ath-thawree said that the Zaahid is not the one who eats stringy food or wears woollen clothes, rather he is one who neither rejoices in some worldly gain nor becomes sad when he fails to get something.]
Who is a Siddeeq: [Shaikh Saaleh al Fawzaan says: The Siddeeq is the one who is (known) for much truthfulness and is extremely truthful. [Al-Haa-iyyah: page:117]

They want this country to end up as the other countries so that the Manners disappear and the Honour gets lost.'
'It will then become easy for the disbelievers to eradicate Islam from its basis.'
THE POET SAID:
'THE NATION'S EXIST AS LONG AS THIER MANNERS EXIST, WHEN MANNERS VANISH, SO DO THEY.'
If the Manners disappear, then there is nothing left.
The Purpose of the Manners is the Honour, Behaviour, Shyness and Dignity.
THIS IS WHAT THE MANNERS ARE ( Ahlaaq).

Umar ibn Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) heard a man saying, “O Allah, make me among the few.” Umar said, “What is this supplication?” The man said, “I refer to the saying of Allah the Exalted: And few of My servants are grateful.” (34:13) Umar (رضي الله عنه) said, “All of the people know better than you, O Umar!”

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.”

What Is Salafiyyah?
Question:
What is As-Salafiyyah and what is your opinion regarding it?
Answer:
All praise is due to Allaah alone, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his family and his Companions.
To proceed:
"As-Salafiyyah" is an attachment or affiliation to the 'Salaf'. And "The Salaf" are the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) and the Imaams of guidance (may Allaah be pleased with them) from the first three generations, those whose goodness Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) bore witness to in his statement:
"The best of mankind is my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then there will come people where bearing witness of one of them will precede his taking an oath and his taking an oath will be his bearing witness."
[Reported by Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal in the 'Musnad', 'Al-Bukhaaree', and Muslim]*
And "The Salafiyyoon [or Salafees]" is the plural of "Salafi", an attachment or affiliation to the Salaf, and its meaning has already preceded above - and they are those who traverse upon the Methodology (Manhaj) of the Salaf in following the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah [of the Messenger of Allaah], and inviting to them, and acting upon them, and they are, due to this, Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah.

Knowledge & Actions
by Rabee’ ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee
Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya
1 – Shaykh Rabee’ said:
‘Learning knowledge should be for the sake of Allaah’s Face, and also for acting upon that knowledge, otherwise knowledge will have an evil consequence, so the person remains between two illnesses, either the illness of ignorance or the illness of knowledge which is not beneficial, but rather harmful.
The knowledge which Muhammad -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- came with is in itself beneficial. However, if a person does not act upon it then it becomes an evil consequence for him, and harmful for him, and perhaps it could harm others.’
2 – Shaykh Rabee’ said:
‘What is required from learning knowledge, is acting upon it, and action cannot come except after knowledge. As Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala said:
<<So know that Lâ ilâha ill-Allaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah), and ask forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing women.>> [Muhammad: 19]
Imaam al-Bukhari wrote a chapter heading ‘Chapter: Knowledge comes before Statements and Actions’ because it is obligatory upon us not to act except with knowledge, and not worship Allaah except with knowledge, so we do not worship Allaah Subhanahu – with ignorance or following desires.’
3 – Shaykh Rabee’ said:
‘The way of those misguided from the people of the Book who learnt knowledge but did not act upon it, is that their hearts became hard, and most of them became evil…. . .
If this hardness afflicts the heart then it destroys it. . . . .
So it does not accept the truth, and does not act with knowledge and refuge is sought with Allaah, and it leads to hiding knowledge and acting in opposition to knowledge. . .. .
It leads to following whims and rejection of the truth, which is clear like the sun. . . . . ’

‘What do You do When the Devil Whispers to You?’
One of the Salaf asked his student:
‘What do you do when the devil whispers to you?’
He replied: ‘I fight him back.’
The teacher asked: ‘What if he returns?’
He replied: ‘I fight him.’
The teacher asked again: ‘What if he returns?’
The student repeated again: ‘I fight him.’
The teacher said: ‘This will take too long. Do you see if you try to pass by some sheep and the shepherd’s dog barks at you to prevent you from passing, what would you do?’
He replied: ‘I would struggle to fight and repel him.’
The teacher replied: ‘This would take too long. Instead, seek the assistance of the sheep’s owner, he would suffice you from him . ‘

Did Hind (رضي الله عنها) eat the liver of Hamzah (رضي الله عنه)?
The ahaadeeth that are da’eef in this regard:
Musaa ibn ‘Uqbah narrated that Wah-shee gouged the liver of Hamzah and took it to Hind bint ‘Utbah and she tried to chew it however she was unable to. Ibn Katheer mentioned this narration in his Al-Bidaayah wal-Nihaayah (4/43) without an isnaad, hence it is weak.
Ibn Ishaaaq narrated with a broken isnaad that Hind was the one who gouged the liver of Hamzah. (Seerah Ibn Hishaam: 3/133). Hence, this narration is also weak.
Thus, based on what was previously stated, there is nothing authentic that proves Hind (رضي الله عنها) chewed or attempted to chew the live of Hamzah (رضي الله عنه).
Its worthy to note that Ibn Al-Atheer stated the following in her biography:
Hind bint ‘Utbah Al-Qurashee Al-Haashimee, the wife of Aboo Sufiyaan, the mother of Mu’aawiyah. She accepted Islaam along with her husband when Makkah was conquered. She was a woman of persona, self-confidence, and intelligence. She passed away during the Khilaafah of ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattaab. (Asadul-Ghaabah: 6/692-693).
