WHAT DO I OWE MY PARENTS? – SHAYKH ZAYD BIN HAADI...⬇

Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madhkhalee (rahimahullah) said:

“The greatest act of good (towards parents) is that the son whom Allaah has bestowed upon him with some (Islamic) knowledge, that from it, he offers (teaches) it to his parents as a first priority.

And this is better than being good to them by giving them money or anything other than that.

Then (it follows that) he should be good and dutiful to them with good words and good actions which pleases Allaah, then with that which pleases both of them (Parents).

[This applies to both Son and Daughter]”

Sheikh Uthaymeen: When a person increases in luxuriousness, his greatest concern is to [indulge] his body in luxuriousness- a body whose final state will be worms and rot. It is as if the human being was not created for a great purpose- the enjoyable things of the dunya are only a means[of fulfilling needs].

Ibn Taymiyyah said: It is befitting that a person utilises wealth in the manner he utilises his donkey for riding [i.e. when he needs it].

Sufyaan Ath-Thawri (rahimahullaah) said:

“LEARN KNOWLEDGE, and once you have gained it, HOLD ON TO IT and DO NOT LET IT ESCAPE.

And DO NOT MIX knowledge with laughing and playing; otherwise, the heart will spit out the knowledge you have.”

Eemān consists of two halves:

One half is Shukr,

One half is is Sabr.

Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Jamīl Zaynū:

“O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from the Hellfire.” [Sūrah al-Taḥrīm 66:6]

Mothers, fathers, teachers, and the society as a whole, will all be accountable in front of Allāh about the tarbiyyah (education and upbringing) of this generation. If its tarbiyah is good, then there will be happiness - both in this world and the Hereafter. If it is not, then there will be misery, and it will be a rope around your necks - since there occurs in the ḥadīth: “Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you will be questioned about those who you are responsible for.” [1]

But - O teachers - rejoice in the saying of the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), who said: “By Allāh! That Allāh guides through you even a single person, is better for you than the most precious of camels.” [2] And - O parents - rejoice in the authentic ḥadīth: “When a person dies, his actions are terminated except for three; a recurring charity, or knowledge that he leaves which is benefited from, or a pious offspring who supplicates for him.” [3]

So you must first of all reform yourselves, since good results from the good that you do, and bad results from the bad that you do. So good conduct from teachers and parents in front of the children is the best form of education and upbringing for them.” [4]

Reminder Benefits the Believer!:
Blame the Rulers?!

There are some people do not want to rectify themselves. So whenever a calamity strikes them, they just blame the rulers for it. And they specially hold Saudi rulers responsible for what is taking place in Palestine, Iraaq and at the same time they want to ignore what happened/is happening in other places.

Was Saudia responsible for what took place in Bosnia in the 1990s?

Was Saudia responsible for the massacre in Kashmir in the 1990s?

Was Saudia responsible for what took place in Chechnya in the late 90s and early 2000s?

Was Saudia responsible for the month long riots which took place in state of Gujarat in India in the early 2000s?

Was Saudia responsible for the riots which took place in Muzaffarnagar in India few years ago?

Is Saudia responsible for what is taking place in Burma?

•۩۞۩•

Muslims as an Ummah are not failing because of what the Saudi leaders are doing, but verily it is our sins because of which we see these calamities around us, and are helpless to do anything. But most of us just want to ignore this fact:

﴿وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ﴾

{And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much.} [Surah al-Shooraa (42): 30]

•۩۞۩•

Narrated Thawban: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish.❞ Someone asked: “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: ❝No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allaah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and cast enervation into your hearts.❞ Someone asked: What is Wahn (enervation) O Messenger of Allaah? He صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: ❝Love of the world and dislike of death.❞ [Sunan Abu Dawood (4297) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
❝By Allaah! The enemy did not wrong you except after the Lord abandoned you, so do not think that Shaitaan overpowers you, it is just that the Protector (Allaah تعالى) Who has forsaken you.

Beware of your soul, for no misfortune befalls you except because of it, so do not ever be reconciled with it. By Allaah! Its honor is derived from its submission (to Allaah), its dignity is derived from its subservience, its reform is derived from its breakdown, its comfort is derived from its hardship, its security is derived from its fear (of Allaah), and its pleasure is derived from its sorrow.❞
[al-Fawaaid (1/68)]

Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
❝Do you see any destruction more severe than the destruction of the Ummah nowadays? They are Billion in numbers, they are nearly one-fourth of the world population, but they have no value in the global community in spite of having moral force, material power and manpower. But when they neglected the Deen of Allaah, Allaah عز وجل forsook them, so that a person trusts* the oppressors among the Kuffar more than he trusts* his own brothers among the Muslims – and this is an ordeal and a calamity.❞
[التعليق على السياسة الشرعية ص. 197]

Abu Huraira reported:

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

“Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of speech.

Do not seek out faults,

do not spy on each other,

do not contend with each other,

do not envy each other,

do not hate each other,

and do not turn away from each other.

Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers.”

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الذُّنُوبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ : رَجُلٌ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَلَمَّا قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهَا طَلَّقَهَا وَذَهَبَ بِمَهْرِهَا ، وَرَجُلٌ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلا فَذَهَبَ بِأُجْرَتِهِ ، وَآخَرُ يَقْتُلُ دَابَّةً عَبَثًا .

Ibn Umar (r.a) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alayhi wa sallam) said :
The greatest of sins near Allah are of:

1) A man who marries a girl and after having his desire fulfiled (from her) divorces her and (along with that ) deprives her of her mahr

2) A man who employs someone to have his work done and does not pay him his wages

3) A man who kills an animal or an insect without having any dire need for it

"When faith becomes weak or is absent from the heart carelessness will appear when taking an oath by Allaah. "
