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

[Ref: Ref: Mustadrak al-Haakim Vol 3, Page 538; Sunan al-Kubra lil Bayhaqi 13330, Hasan]

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

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan Hafidahullah

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim Raḥimahullāh: “Lying has a great effect in (bringing) BLACKNESS to the face.”

Jabir ibn Abdullaah reported: It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, which deed is best?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Patience and tolerance.” It was said, “Who among the believers has the best faith?” The Prophet said, “Those with the best character.”

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

"If you have no enthusiasm for getting in first row of prayer, Allāh will take away your enthusiasm for every good deed."

● [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.

He replied: "Loyalty during times of ease as well as hardship."

🍃 *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)

Allah's Messenger ﷺ said. Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.'

[Sahih al-Bukhari - Book 76, Hadith 81].

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: Two men came from the east and delivered speeches, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Some eloquent speech has the influence of magic (e.g., some people refuse to do something and then a good eloquent speaker addresses them and then they agree to do that very thing after his speech). ” (Bukhari, Book #62, Hadith #76)

You can find examples in real life and you will experience this in different situations circumstances that one person tells you that for example that this colour looks good on you and you refuse then another person convinces you and you accept or that mountain is impossible to climb then another convinces it is and you accept that its easy.

💭 When Negative Assumptions Are Permissible

by Shaykh Zayd ibn Muḥammad al Madkhalī {رحمه الله}

In this perceptive and insightful article, Shaykh Zayd ibn Muḥammad al Madkhalī (رحمه الله) enlightens the reader to the permissibility of having negative assumptions for those who are deserving of it. *This principle is an important one for those who claim that we must have positive assumptions about everyone in the absolute sense, when in fact doing so can cause many to capitulate in their religion and dangerously gravitate towards the people of desires*.

An Excerpt Taken From the Article:

"If there are issues associated with the individual which indicate and exemplify that he is overtly lax and weak regarding the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah, subsequently, don't spread his material nor advise with taking from him until the soundness (of his methodology) becomes clear to you."

The Four Types of Earning and Spending – By Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [Rahimahullaah]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah] said: The Daraahim [i.e. monies] are four types:

[1] The dirham [i.e. money] that was earned in obedience to Allaah and spent to fulfil Allaah’s Rights. This is of the best Daraahim.

[2]The dirham that was earned in disobedience to Allaah and spent in disobedience to Allaah. This one is the most evil of the Daraahim.

[3] The dirham that was earned by way of harming a Muslim and spent to harm a Muslim. This one is the same as [dirham number 2].

[4] The dirham that was earned by way of permissible means and spent on permissible desires. This one is neither for nor against [you].

This is the origin of the Daraahim.

SOME PEOPLE GATHER TO WASTE TIME, YET WISH THAT SENSIBLE PEOPLE SHOULD JOIN THEM!...

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

”The greatest profit in the worldly life is that you preoccupy yourself- every time- with what is more worthy (or obligatory), and with what is more beneficial for (you) in the hereafter”

SOME EVIL CONSEQUENCES OF UNNECESSARY DEBATE AND SITTING WITH DEVIANTS – BY IMAAM IBN BATTAH [RAHIMAHULLAAH]

Imaam Ibn Battah [rahimahullaah] said:

Know, O my brothers! I have pondered over the reason that expelled a people from the Sunnah and the Jamaa’ah, compelled them to bidah and ignominy, opened up a door of trial upon their hearts and prevented them from the light of truth that enables a person to make good judgements; so I found that [coming] from two angles:

[a][Unnecessary] research and debate, asking too much concerning that which is of no benefit- [affairs that are] neither harmful to an ignorant [person] nor beneficial to the believer’s understanding.

[b]The other [reason is]: Sitting with [a person] whose Fitnah one is not safe from and [is a cause of] corrupting the heart of the one who accompanies him.
