Forgotten Sunnah alert: raising the eyes to the sky when leaving the home!
Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never went out of my house without raising his eye to the sky and saying:
"O Allah! I seek refuge in Thee lest I stray or be led astray, or slip or made to slip, or cause injustice, or suffer injustice, or do wrong, or have wrong done to me."
(Abu Dawud and graded Sahih by al-Albany)
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ مَا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ بَيْتِي قَطُّ إِلاَّ رَفَعَ طَرْفَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ أَوْ أُضَلَّ أَوْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أُزَلَّ أَوْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَىَّ " .

"If you see your brother debating and disputing when the truth is clear and he does not want to follow it, you should flee from him in the same way as you flee from a lion. Tell him that you have nothing more than that to say to him, and let him be."

Today's Beautiful Hadith is About Prophecy
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira RA that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a part of the dark night. During (that stormy period) a man would be a Muslim in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening or he would be a believer in the evening and an unbeliever in the morning, and would sell his faith for worldly goods.
[Muslim Book 001, No 0213]

⚠️ The Devils from amongst Mankind ⚠️
Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymeen was asked how can one recognise the devils from amongst mankind?? He Raḥimahullāh, replied beautifully and said:
“Whoever calls you towards evil and shamelessness then he is the DEVIL (from amongst mankind).”

Choose your friend wisely!
before seeking to sit in a gathering, have you asked yourself:
- Is this person known to the scholars or their students?
- Does he have tazkiyāt of any sort?
- Who are his companions (from whom does he sit with)?
- Does he frequent the gatherings of Ahl al-Sunnah, their masājid, seminars, lectures etc.?
- What do the people of Sunnah and Salafīyyah in his area say about him?
- Does he cooperate with Ahl al-Bidʿah,, their masājid and programmes (is he here, there and everywhere)?
Do you put up these roadblocks in your mind before setting out to seek knowledge with a man?
Seeing that it is from the most important affairs you could ever set out upon...your salvation, your ʿaqīdah, your path towards Paradise in shāʾ Allāh

✒ A Magnificent Ḥadeeth | Never Compromise On 'Ibādah Of Allāh For Work And He Will Enrich You
The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Your Lord Tabārak Wa Ta'ālā says:
'O son of Ādam !! Set aside time for my worship, I will fill your heart with richness/contentment and fill your hands with provision, O son of Ādam !! Do not distance yourself from me or I will fill your heart with poverty and fill your hands with (unnecessary) work'.”

IBLIS
Iblis makes those seeking righteousness feel lazy, and he causes those who are serious to procrastinate. He convinces a jurist to rest instead of going over his lesson again. And convinces a worshipper who had woken up to pray at night that he still has a lot of time. Iblis tries to make people lazy procrastinators, and to make them have hope (of a long life). A disciplined person must take advantage of time, and never procrastinate. That which is feared can never be trusted, and that which passes can never be brought back again. The main reason for doing less good and more evil is relying on the hope of a long life, this is because a person continues to procrastinate performing good deeds and refraining from evil deeds.

It was said: “and if he is not given that?” He said: “Good manners”
It was said: “and if he is not given that?” He said: “A righteous friend that advises him”
It was said: “and if he is not given that?” He said: “To remain silent for a long time”
It was said: “and if he is not given that?” He said: “Immediate death”

#Earthquake
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
“Allah sometimes gives the earth permission to
breathe, which is when major earthquakes
happen;
- this makes people feel scared,
- so they repent,
- give up sins,
- pray to Allah and feel regret [for their sins].
When there had been an earthquake, some of
the Salaf said: your Lord is warning you.
When Medeenah was struck by an earthquake,
‘Umar Ibn al-Khattaab addressed the people
and said:
If there is another earthquake, I will not stay
here with you.”

The Imām, Shaykh ʿAbd al Azīz ibn Bāz [رحمه الله] said:
❝So your brother is the one who advises you, reminds you, and alerts you. Your brother is not the one who gives you no thought, avoids you, or speaks to you with pretty words that lack real truth and sincerity. Rather, your brother, in reality, is the one who advises you, the one who admonishes you, and reminds you. He calls you to Allāh, keeps explaining to you the path to deliverance clearly until you follow it, and warns you about the path to destruction - he keeps explaining to you how evil its end is until you avoid it.❞

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Dr Murtaza bin Bakhsh hafizahullaah:
Often we here these words in society. ‘Mind your business! They advise: ‘Mind your business!’ I am minding my own business. With Allah’s permission, I am advising you. What type of bad deed am I doing? People say, and they are ignorant (unfortunately), wearing a tie, suited and booted, looking very smart. You advise them: Brother, pray the salaah, (they say): ‘Mind your business!’
I will mind my own business, that isn’t a problem! If death overtakes you in this state, then what are you going to do?! No. this is the truth! I have done my job, informed you, told you once. I have made my request: ‘The prayer has been established; the Masjid is straight ahead of us, close by.’ They look at you, staring in an angry manner: “Mind your busmess.”
OK. I‘ll mind my business! I’ve done my job. What are you going to do? Whilst going about your business you have an accident. the Angel of Death will not give you a little more time. By Allah! He won’t give you two minutes. so you can establish the prayer, after which he can take my soul. No! So then, what are you going to do?

PRESERVE YOUR SALAH, TONGUE AND HEART—AN ADVICE FROM THE MESSENGER (SALLAL-LAAHU-ALAYHI-WASALLAM)
A man came to the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and said: ”Admonish me and be brief’”; so the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said to him:

”When you stand for your prayer, then pray a farewell prayer (i.e. as if it is your last Salah before death).”
وَلَا تَكَلَّمْ بِكَلَامٍ تَعْتَذِرُ مِنْهُ غَدًا
”Do not speak with a statement for which you may have to apologize tomorrow.”
وَأَجْمِعِ اليَأسَ مِمَّا فِي يَدَيِ النَّاسِ
