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

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

● [شرح رياض الصالحين ٥\١١١]

"If you want Rizq, have Taqwaa of Allah.
If you want blessing in your Rizq, have Taqwaa of Allah.
If you want your Rizq to be continuous, have Taqwaa of Allah, Taqwaa of Allah is the foundation of Rizq."

" ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب."
"And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty) and He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine."
(Talaq:2,3)

Don’t just be patient, be patient and along with that hope for a reward from Allaah for your patience during your calamity

Shaykh Saalih Ibn 'Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

“Indeed when a person faces calamities with patience [but] without hoping for a reward from Allaah, the calamity will become an expiation for his sins. And if he shows patience along with hoping for a reward [from Allaah], then along with being an expiation for his sins it becomes a good recompense and reward.

And the meaning of hoping for Allaah’s reward [al-Ihtisaab] is that a person believes that he will soon be rewarded for the patience [he is showing], so he makes good his thoughts about Allaah and thus Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, will give him [a reward] according to what he thought of Him.”

[At-Ta’leeq alaa Saheeh Muslim, Page 342].

The position of patience in connection with belief is like the position of the head to the body.
If the head was chopped off, the body wouldn't survive.

The Ruling Concerning Specifying The Third Day of the Child Birth to Invite Women
Shaykh Muhammad 'Ali Ferkous

Question:
Is it permissible to specify the third day of the child birth for the invitation of women? What is the ruling concerning the customs that are practiced by women nowadays on the seventh day [of the child birth] such as washing the newborn baby with water and putting wax and flowers in that water as a good omen? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a mercy to the Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers till the Day of Resurrection:

The permissibility of inviting women to Al-‘Aqîqa feast specifically on the third day is not known in Ash-Sharî‘a (Islamic law). Likewise, what they (women) do on the seventh day including washing the baby with water where they put wax and flowers and suchlike, has nothing to do with the Islamic law; but rather, this might belong to the habits of the Christians and those who resemble them. The Prophet ﷺ said: “He who does an act which we have not commanded, will have it rejected (by Allah)” (1).

Such specification is counted among innovations, and every innovation is misguidance and every misguidance is in the Hell fire.

The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah عزَّ وجلَّ. Our last prayer is all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon our Prophet, his Family, his Companions and Brothers till the Day of Resurrection.

Imaam Sufyaan Ath-thawri Rahimahullaah said:

The one who sits with a person of innovation is not safe from one of three (affairs):

[1] Either he becomes a trial for other than himself;

[2] Or something of (misguidance) falls into his heart, so he slips by way of that and Allaah enters him into the hell fire;

[3] or he says: By Allaah, I don’t care what they say because I am sure of myself; but whoever feels safe about his religion (without Allaah’s guidance, protection etc) in the twinkling of an eye, it will be snatched away from him.

#brotherhood

🍃 *WOKE UP SUDDENLY WHILST SLEEPING?? THEN YOU GOT A CHANCE TO GET YOUR SUPPLICATIONS ANSWERED* 🍃

Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit: The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-said:

*“Whoever wakes up at night and says*: —

*لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَه،ُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد،ُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ*

*سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ،وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ*

_La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer_

_Subhana allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaa_

*Then he says : اللهمَ اغْفِرْلي O Allaah forgive me (Allaahumma aghfirlee)or he supplicates and his supplication is answered,* and if he makes Wudu and prays then his prayer is accepted.

_Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 21, Number 253 : Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)_

Translated by Muhsin Khan

The Sahabah used to have from amongst the highest level of Tawwakul in Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and some of them used to ask of Him even for their shoelaces. The Mother of the Believers, A'ishah رضي الله عنهما said: "Ask Allah for everything, even if it is only a shoe-lace, because if Allaah does not make it easy, then it will not be possible." [At-Tirmidhi, 4/292]

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Muadh to Yemen and said:

"Be afraid, from the curse of the oppressed as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah."

(Sahih Bukhari, Book of Oppressions, hadith 2448)
