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.”

Ibn Al-Qayyim on which is better: reciting Quran slowly with contemplation or faster in greater amount?

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawzīyah – Allāh have mercy on him – said while describing the way of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in reciting the Qurān:

People have differed as to which is best: tartīl (slower) recitation covering less (of the Qurān), or faster recitation with more covered; which of them is better? They had two opinions on this.

The Prophet (sallalalhu 'alayhi wa sallam)'s guidance on preserving the health with perfume

Good scents and perfumes are nutrition for the soul, and the soul is the dynamo of the rest of the body's powers. Perfume helps the brain, the heart and the internal organs and brings comfort to the heart and the soul. Perfumes are also the most suitable and favourable remedy and substance for the soul. Also, there is a close connection between the good soul and scented perfumes. this is why perfumes were among the dearest substances in this world to the heart of the most pure of all people, the Prophet (sallalalhu 'alayhi wa sallam).

Al Bukhari narrated that the Prophet (sallalalhu 'alayhi wa sallam) used to always accept perfume when presented to him. Also, Muslim narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sallalalhu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

'He who is offered Raihan (basil) should not refuse it, because it is easy to wear and has good scent.'

Further Abu Dawud and An-Nasai'i narrated that the Prophet (sallalalhu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

'Whoever is offered some perfume should not refuse it because it is light to wear and has a good scent.'

Ibn Abi Shaibah also narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sallalalhu 'alayhi wa sallam) had a container that had some perfume in it and he used to perfume himself with it. The Prophet (sallalalhu 'alayhi wa sallam) also said:

' Allaah has a right on every Muslim that he takes a bath (at least once) in every seven days and if he has perfume to wear some of it.'

Shiekh ubayd al-jabiri حفظه الله said:

The Sahaaba reported that when they learned the Qur`aan, they would memorize 10 ayat at a time and would not proceed to the next 10 ayat until they had learned what the ayat meant and they had implemented them. 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (radiallaahu 'anhu) said: "We would learn 10 verses directly from the mouth of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), and we would not exceed that until we had learned their meaning and acted upon them. We learned knowledge and actions (together)."

[From Shaikh 'Ubaid al-Jaabiree's SharhH of Thalaathatul-Usool, hafidhahullaah]

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Forgive each other and drop the grudges between yourselves.”

SINS TAKE AWAY KNOWLEDGE.

Ibn Al-qayyim رحمه الله said:
"Man almost forget the knowledge he has gained because of the sins he has committed."

[Al-fawa'id p.248]

Imam Ash-Shafi'i (Rahimahullah) said,

"Whoever spreads gossip for you spreads gossip against you. Whoever relates tales to you will tell tales about you. Whoever when you please him says about you what is not in you, when you anger him will say about you what is not in you."

[Siyar 'Alam al Nubala' by Imam ad-Dhahabi]

Some wealthy people spend money on building masjids and bridges but only to show off and gain reputation. He writes his name on the establishment. Had his deed been for Allah's sake he would not have done so. And if he were to be asked to build a wall and write his name on it he would not have done so!

Moosaa Richardson: “Muslim women are the most beautiful women on the planet. Inwardly, outwardly they are the most wholesome; most upright; most dedicated; the most beautiful women you will ever see. You won't find women like Muslim women in any other religion, any other place. Muslim women are the most dedicated and sought after women on the planet.”

Dhahabi brings in al-Siyar, the following narrations demonstrating patience in the face of calamity and not complaining:

Shaqiq al-Balkhee said, "Whoever complained of a calamity to other than Allaah, he will not find the sweetness of obedience" (9/315).

Hamdoon al-Qassaar said, "No one despairs from a calamity except one who suspects His Lord" (13/51).

Mugheerah said, "The eye of al-Ahnaf was lost, and al-Ahnaf said, 'I lost it forty years ago and I have not complained to a single person'." (4/92).

Al-Asma'ee said, "al-Fudayl saw a man complaining to another so he said, 'O So and so! Are you complaining about the one who shows you mercy (Allaah) to one who does not show you mercy (man)'." (8/439)
