Al-Daarimi narrated with a different saheeh isnaad (no. 3207) that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: “Recite the Qur’aan much before it is taken away.” They said, “These Mus-hafs will be taken away! What about that which is (memorized) in men’s hearts?” He said: “Something will come and take it one night, and in the morning they will wake up without it. They will forget the phrase ‘laa ilaaha ill-Allaah’ and they will start to recite the sayings and poetry of the Jaahiliyyah. That is when the Word will be fulfilled against them.”
The phrase ‘That is when the Word will be fulfilled against them’ is a reference to the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“And when the Word (of torment) is fulfilled against them, We shall bring out from the earth a beast for them, to speak to them because mankind believed not with certainty in Our Ayaat (Verses of the Qur’aan and Prophet Muhammad)” [al-Naml 27:82].
Ibn Katheer said in his tafseer of this aayah:
This beast will emerge at the end of time when mankind becomes so corrupt that they neglect the commandments of Allaah and change the true religion. Allaah will bring forth for them a beast from the earth – it was said from Makkah, or from elsewhere – and it will speak to the people concerning that. Ibn ‘Abbaas, al-Hasan and al-Qutaadah said – and it was also narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib – (may Allaah be pleased with them all): it will speak to them, i.e., it will address them. ‘Ataa’ al-Khurasaani said – and it was narrated from ‘Ali and this was the view favourd by Ibn Jareer: it will speak to them and it will say to them, ‘mankind believed not with certainty in Our Ayaat’. There are some reservations about this interpretation, and Allaah knows best.
According to one report, Ibn ‘Abbaas said: the words tukallimuhum (to speak to them) means, it will wound them; according to another report he said: it will do both (i.e., speak to them and wound them). [The word Tukallim may mean either speak or wound. – Translator]. This is a good point with no contradictions, and Allaah knows best.

Some laypeople say: "Scholars are the ones who must follow Allah's rules strictly, as for me I am not doing that bad."
A scholar and a layperson are equally obligated to follow Shari'ah. And if a scholar commits a sin, this is not to be an excuse for laypeople to commit the same sin.

During the last days, some young foolish people will appear!
Question:
“What is the meaning of the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) “During the last days, some young foolish people who will say the best words will appear. Their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) Islam as an arrow when launched from a bow. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall be rewarded on the Day of Resurrection.”[1] Who is meant by this Hadith? Which time is the Messenger (peace be upon him) referring to in this Hadith?”
Answer:
“In this Hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) refers to the Al-Khawarij. This is because they go to extremes in religion and declare Muslims to be disbelievers because of the sins they commit, which do not nullify faith. They appeared at the time of

Many of them returned to the truth while others were reluctant to accept it. When the Kharijites attacked the Muslims, Aly (may Allah be pleased with him) fought them. The rulers who came after him also fought the Kharijites in application of the Hadith mentioned above, as well as another Hadith bearing the same meaning. The followers of the early Kharijites still exist until now. The ruling is general concerning whoever adopts their creed anywhere, at any time.May Allah grant us success.

*A common complaint. A one of a kind answer*
If you've ever felt this way, then the following words are for you.
Imam Ibnu Taymiyyah rahimahullaah was asked;
"What is the cure for a person who has been gripped with illness? A person who is in the clasp of destruction? What does a person do if he has been overcome by laziness? How can I be a person who is assisted by Allah? What is the solution for a person who has been defeated by confusion, for whenever he tries turning to Allah his desires prevent him and whenever he seeks to be productive, failure haunts him?"
The Imam responded,
دواؤه الالتجاء إِلَى الله ودوام التضرع وَالدُّعَاء بِأَن يتَعَلَّم الْأَدْعِيَة المأثورة ويتوخى الدُّعَاء فِي مظان الْإِجَابَة مثل آخر اللَّيْل وأوقات الْأَذَان وَالْإِقَامَة وَفِي سُجُوده وَفِي أدبار الصَّلَوَات
"His cure is to turn to Allah azawajal and continue pleading with Him in Du'aah by learning the Du'aah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and to carefully choose the times when Du'aah is answered, like the last part of the night, and between the call for prayer and Iqaama, and during prostration, and after prayer."
وَيضم إِلَى ذَلِك الاسْتِغْفَار فَإِنَّهُ من اسْتغْفر الله ثمَّ تَابَ إِلَيْهِ متعه مَتَاعا حسنا إِلَى أجل مُسَمّى
"He should add to this Istighfaar (asking Allah for forgiveness), for a person who does this and is subsequently forgiven, Allah will give him a life of enjoyment until an appointed time"
وليتخذ وردا من الْأَذْكَار طرفِي النَّهَار وَوقت النّوم وليصبر على مَا يعرض لَهُ من الْمَوَانِع والصوارف فَإِنَّهُ لَا يلبث أَن يُؤَيّدهُ الله بِروح مِنْهُ وَيكْتب الْإِيمَان فِي قلبه
"Let him also adopt a portion of remembrances in the morning and evening and before falling asleep, and let him patiently resist the matters that prevent and distract him from doing this, for it will only be a matter of time before Allah will start sending him assistance from Him and will write 'iman within his heart"
وليحرص على إِكْمَال الْفَرَائِض من الصَّلَوَات الْخمس بباطنه وَظَاهره فَإِنَّهَا عَمُود الدّين
"Let him also ensure that all of his obligations are complete, including the five daily prayers, both inwardly and outwardly, for prayer is the pillar of Deen"
وَليكن هجيراه لَا حول وَلَا قُوَّة إِلَّا الله الْعلي الْعَظِيم فَإِنَّهُ بهَا يحمل الأثقال ويكايد الْأَهْوَال وينال رفيع الْأَحْوَال
"Let him also make the majority of his speech the words of 'Laa howla wa laa quwwata illa billaah al-'Ali al-'Adheem' ('There is no strength or might except in Allah, The Most High, The Most Great'), for through this statement, one will be able to bear the heaviest of burdens and tackle all horrors and attain the best of circumstances"
ولَا يسأم من الدُّعَاء والطلب فَإِن العَبْد يستحال لَهُ مالم يعجل فَيَقُول قد دَعَوْت فَلم يستجب لي
"Let him never tire of making Du'aah and requests from Allah, for one's Du'aah will be answered so long as he doesn't hurry his Lord by saying 'I made Du'aah, but it wasn't answered'"
وليعلم أَن النَّصْر مَعَ الصَّبْر وَأَن الْفرج مَعَ الكرب وَأَن مَعَ الْعسر يسرا
"Let him know that victory is with patience and relief is with grief and with difficulty is ease"
وَلم ينل أحد شَيْئا من حتم الْخَيْر نَبِي فَمن دونه إِلَّا بِالصبرِ وَالْحَمْد لله رب الْعَالمين
"And there isn't any human being who can attain any form of goodness, whether he is a prophet or someone less than that, *except* via patience.

Sorrow, sadness and grief may befall one due to the prevalence of blackness, which should be treated with what will remove this blackness; which are the things that bring about joy.
Grief freezes the blood while happiness heats it until its intrinsic heat is raised, both of them (happiness and grief) can harm, and may lead to death, if they are not immediately kept within moderate levels.

Salatul Duha | The Forenoon Prayer
One of the optional prayers is Salatul Duha.
It is a Sunnah Mu’akkadah (supererogatory). Abu Dharr Radhiallahu ‘anhu reported:
The Prophet (sallallāhualayhi wasallam) said,
“In the morning, charity is due on every joint of the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah’s Glorification (i.e., saying Subhan Allah) is an act of charity, every utterance of His Praise (i.e., saying Al-hamdu lillah) is an act of charity, every utterance of declaration of His Greatness (i.e., saying La ilaha ill Allah) is an act of charity, and every utterance of declaration of His Power (i.e. saying Allah Akbar); and enjoining M
Its time
The time of Duha prayer is from the time when the sun has risen to a certain height, until just before the time for Zuhr prayer. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen defined it as being from a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen until ten minutes before Zuhr prayer.
Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/122
So all of this period is the time for Duha prayer.
It is better to pray it after the sun’s heat has become intense, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“It is preferable to offer Duha prayer when the sun’s heat has become so intense that even the young of the camels feel it.”
Narrated by Muslim, 748
Ibn Baaz: Majmoo’ Fataawa, 11/395
The scholars defined this as being when one quarter of the day has passed, i.e., halfway between sunrise and Zuhr prayer.

Why students lose knowledge they had memorised ?
Question:
“Many students suffer from forgetfulness of knowledge which they had memorized and loss of benefits they read about. So what therefore is the ideal solution for this problem in your opinion oh virtuous Shaykh?”
Answer:
“The reasons for weak memorization are many. From them; sins. For indeed sins bring about forgetfulness. Allah تبارك وتعالى says:
{So because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard. They change the words from their (right) places and have abandoned (نسوا=abandoned, forgot) a good part of the Message that was sent to them.} [Surah Al-Maidah 05:13]
And Imam Ash-Shafi'y said: "I complained to Waki` about my bad memorization. So he advised me to abandon sins.
He said: “Know that knowledge is light. And Allah's Light is not granted to a disobedient (sinner)!"
And from the reasons for forgetfulness: Is that a person does not read regularly what he has memorized, meaning he does not revise it. And the proof for that is the saying of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم: “Read this Qur’aan regularly”, meaning revise it, “for, by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, it is more likely to escape than a hobbled camel.” [Sahih Muslim]
Thirdly: Frequent preoccupation. When a person has many things that preoccupy him he'll subsequently forget. Because the heart is a container and he is the vessel. And this vessel has a limit and a restricted capacity. If it is filled with something there is no space for anything else. Thus if a person has no spare time and is constantly preoccupied, those things which keep him busy a lot cause forgetfulness.
And also from the reasons for forgetfulness is not acting upon the knowledge. Hence if you act upon what you know then your action is considered implementation; implementation of knowledge. An example being: If you learnt that Wudhu has to be done in order and you perform it aft

WEARING HAIR IN A BUN AT THE BACKFLIP OF THE HEAD UNDER THE HIJAB - BY Shaikh Al -Albani & Ibn Uthymeen
Compiled & Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
The Hadeeth
From Abu Hurairah who said the Messenger of Allaah -SallAllaahu alayhi wa Sallam- said:
صنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما قوم معهم سياط كأذناب البقر يضربون بها الناس ونساء كاسيات عاريات مميلات مائلات رءوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحها وإن ريحها ليوجد من مسيرة كذا وكذا
‘There are two types of the people of the Hell-Fire who I have not seen, a people who have whips like cows’ tails with which they are hitting the people, and women who will be naked in spite of being dressed, who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce others, their heads will be high like a camel with humps they will not enter Paradise, nor will they find its fragrance, even though its fragrance can be found from travelling such and such distance.’
[Collected by Imam Ahmad in ‘al-Musnad’ & Muslim in ‘as-Saheeh’]
Shaykh, Allaama, Muhadith Muhammad Nasir Deen al-Albaani – May Allaah have mercy upon him.
The Questioner:
‘What is the ruling of a woman gathering her hair above her neck at the back of the head whereby it is shaped like a ball, taking into consideration that when a woman covers herself with Hijaab the shape of her hair would be apparent from her Hijaab?’
Shaykh Albaani said:
‘This is a mistake many women who wear Hijaab fall into, whereby they gather their hair at the back of the head and it bulges out from the back of their head, even though they have covered it with covering Hijaab over it.
Indeed this opposes a condition from the conditions of Hijaab, which I had gathered in my book ‘Hijaab Al-Marata Al-Muslimah min Al-Kitab wa Sunnah‘. From these conditions is that the clothing should not show the shape of the limb or anything from the woman’s body, this is why it is not permissible for a woman to put her hair in a circular shape at the back of her head or at the side of her head whereby it bulges out, so that it appears to the one who sees her, even unintentionally that she has shaggy hair or that she has little hair.
It is obligatory that it is left hanging and not piled up/crumpled up.’

The Ruling of a Woman Winding up her Hair at the Top of her head
Shaykh Allaama Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen – May Allaah have mercy upon him.
Question:
‘Some women gather their hair in the shape of a bun at the back of the head, does this enter into the warning mentioned in the Hadeeth: ‘Women whose heads will be like the inclined hump of a camel they will not enter Paradise’.
Shaykh al-Uthaymeen said:
‘If a woman gathers her hair for when she is busy working away, then afterwards she lets it down, then there is no harm in this, since she does not do this as an adornment or beautification but rather out of necessity.
As for gathering her hair and raising it up for the purpose of beautification, and it is facing upwards then it enters under the prohibition, due to the saying of the Prophet -sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam:
‘Their heads will be like the hump of a camel.’
A camel hump is at the top, and if the hair is above the neck then it does not enter under the Hadeeth. However, it is warned against doing so if a woman wants to go out to the market, since if she goes out to the market and gathers her hair on her head then it will appear from within her Abaya (outer garment), and it will cause attention, so she is prohibited from having this hair-style if she goes out to the market places.

The Hadeeth
From Abu Hurairah who said the Messenger of Allaah -SallAllaahu alayhi wa Sallam- said:
صنفان من أهل النار لم أرهما قوم معهم سياط كأذناب البقر يضربون بها الناس ونساء كاسيات عاريات مميلات مائلات رءوسهن كأسنمة البخت المائلة لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحها وإن ريحها ليوجد من مسيرة كذا وكذا
‘There are two types of the people of the Hell-Fire who I have not seen, a people who have whips like cows’ tails with which they are hitting the people, and women who will be naked in spite of being dressed, who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce others, their heads will be high like a camel with humps they will not enter Paradise, nor will they find its fragrance, even though its fragrance can be found from travelling such and such distance.’
[Collected by Imam Ahmad in ‘al-Musnad’ & Muslim in ‘as-Saheeh’]
Shaykh, Allaama, Muhadith Muhammad Nasir Deen al-Albaani – May Allaah have mercy upon him.
The Questioner:
‘What is the ruling of a woman gathering her hair above her neck at the back of the head whereby it is shaped like a ball, taking into consideration that when a woman covers herself with Hijaab the shape of her hair would be apparent from her Hijaab?’
Shaykh Albaani said:
‘This is a mistake many women who wear Hijaab fall into, whereby they gather their hair at the back of the head and it bulges out from the back of their head, even though they have covered it with covering Hijaab over it.
Indeed this opposes a condition from the conditions of Hijaab, which I had gathered in my book ‘Hijaab Al-Marata Al-Muslimah min Al-Kitab wa Sunnah‘. From these conditions is that the clothing should not show the shape of the limb or anything from the woman’s body, this is why it is not permissible for a woman to put her hair in a circular shape at the back of her head or at the side of her head whereby it bulges out, so that it appears to the one who sees her, even unintentionally that she has shaggy hair or that she has little hair.
It is obligatory that it is left hanging and not piled up/crumpled up.’

The Ruling of a Woman Winding up her Hair at the Top of her head
Shaykh Allaama Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen – May Allaah have mercy upon him.
Question:
‘Some women gather their hair in the shape of a bun at the back of the head, does this enter into the warning mentioned in the Hadeeth: ‘Women whose heads will be like the inclined hump of a camel they will not enter Paradise’.

A camel hump is at the top, and if the hair is above the neck then it does not enter under the Hadeeth. However, it is warned against doing so if a woman wants to go out to the market, since if she goes out to the market and gathers her hair on her head then it will appear from within her Abaya (outer garment), and it will cause attention, so she is prohibited from having this hair-style if she goes out to the market places.

PARENTS DON'T DO THIS MISTAKE WITH UR CHILDREN.
From the means by which a Jinn can overpower and possess the children
A very important point
Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
❝Some of the foolish, ignorant people, lacking intelligence, scare their small innocent children and frighten them by saying: so-and-so will come (and take you), or so-and-so will (do such-and-such to you). So the child gets scared and this fear and anxiety remains in his heart, and this becomes permanent in his heart so that he is constantly in anxiety, fear and distress.
Sometimes it is the father who scares his son and sometimes it is the mother who scares her son and daughter.
But the most foolish ones are those who tell us that the when a child does something wrong (then as punishment) he should be locked inside his room, alone. And even when he shouts and screams they do not feel sorry for him nor do they open the door.
And this is one of the means by which a Jinn overpowers (and possesses) the child. This was conveyed by one of the Jinns who had possessed a child and said that he entered in him when his father had locked him inside the room, and he began to shout and scream, and that's when he possessed him.
So we should be alert and take precautions from the things which can become a means for the Jinn to overpower us.❞

"Verily the first of what Allah created was the Pen. So He said: 'Write Al-Qadar, what it is, and what shall be, until the end.'"

Why students lose knowledge they had memorised ?
Question:
“Many students suffer from forgetfulness of knowledge which they had memorized and loss of benefits they read about. So what therefore is the ideal solution for this problem in your opinion oh virtuous Shaykh?”
Answer:
“The reasons for weak memorization are many. From them; sins. For indeed sins bring about forgetfulness. Allah تبارك وتعالى says:
{So because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard. They change the words from their (right) places and have abandoned (نسوا=abandoned, forgot) a good part of the Message that was sent to them.} [Surah Al-Maidah 05:13]
And Imam Ash-Shafi'y said: "I complained to Waki` about my bad memorization. So he advised me to abandon sins.
He said: “Know that knowledge is light. And Allah's Light is not granted to a disobedient (sinner)!"
And from the reasons for forgetfulness: Is that a person does not read regularly what he has memorized, meaning he does not revise it. And the proof for that is the saying of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم: “Read this Qur’aan regularly”, meaning revise it, “for, by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, it is more likely to escape than a hobbled camel.” [Sahih Muslim]
Thirdly: Frequent preoccupation. When a person has many things that preoccupy him he'll subsequently forget. Because the heart is a container and he is the vessel. And this vessel has a limit and a restricted capacity. If it is filled with something there is no space for anything else. Thus if a person has no spare time and is constantly preoccupied, those things which keep him busy a lot cause forgetfulness.
And also from the reasons for forgetfulness is not acting upon the knowledge. Hence if you act upon what you know then your action is considered implementation; implementation of knowledge. An example being: If you learnt that Wudhu has to be done in order and you perform it aft

How to correctly avoid evil eye.
Summary: Say “Barak Allaahu ‘Alayk” which means “May Allaah’s blessing be upon you” to avoid evil eye.
Not “Maa Shaa’ Allaah” which means “What Allaah wills.”
Evidence: Once a man praised another man for having very beautiful skin and claimed he had never even seen a virgin with such beautiful skin.
The man became ill on the spot, and upon hearing about this, the Prophet asked: “Why did you not say, May Allaah bless you?”
Source: Muwaṭṭā Mālik (no. 1972, 1973)
Evidence No. 2: The Prophet said: When one of you sees in a person something which amazes him, then let him supplicate (to Allaah) to bless him.
Source: Jāmī’ Mu‘mār (no. 19766)
Evidence against Maa Shaa’ Allaah: The Prophet is reported to have said:
“Whoever sees something that amazes him, let him say: “Maa shaa’ Allaah, Laa Quwwata illaa billaah.”
Hence, by doing so that person won’t be affected by the evil eye.
Source: Ibn as-Sunni’s Amal yaum wal-lail” (207)
Grade: Shaykh Albanee graded its chain as “Dha`eef Jiddan” (extremely weak) in Takhreej al-Kalim al-Tayyib
Final point: If you think you have given someone evil eye, say “Allaahumma baarik ‘alaih” which means “O’ Allaah send your blessings upon him.”
