Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān Hafiẓahullāh: “The books of 'Aqeedah are not read like the newspapers are read, NO, rathers it's a MUST that they be memorised and read with a scholar having insight into 'Aqeedah who (then) explains, interprets and clarifies them to the people.”

Riyadus Saliheen, CHAPTER 199 SUNNAH OF ZUHR PRAYER

1113. Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I performed with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) two Rakah before and two after Zuhr prayers. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith has already been mentioned. See Commentary on Hadith No. 1098.

1114. Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) never omitted four Rakah supererogatory prayer before Zuhr prayers. [Al-Bukhari].

**Commentary:
Some Ahadith state that he (PBUH) used to perform two Rakah before and two after Zuhr prayer. The present Hadith says that he used to perform four Rakah before Zuhr prayer. Both narrations are correct and can be followed according to conditions and circumstances.

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.

Why are the Muslims weak today?

Shaykhul Islaam Ahmad ibn Taymeeyah 728AH (May Allah have mercy on him) said,

وإذا كان في المسلمين ضعفوكان عدوهم مستظهرًا عليهم كان ذلك بسبب ذنوبهم وخطاياهم إما لتفريطهم في أداء الواجبات باطنًا وظاهرًا

“If the Muslims are weak and their enemies have gained an upper hand against them, then this is a result of their sins whether it is by their neglectfulness in establishing obligatory matters both inwardly (having the correct belief) and/or outwardly (like prayer, fasting, zakah, etc).”

Imaam Muqbil (rahimahullaah) said:

Shaykh Badr al-Utaybee said:

It has been said: "If a woman is beautiful physically and in her character, with lustrous eyes and hair, a glowing complexion, affectionate to her husband, chaste, restraining her glance, desiring no one but her husband; then she will resemble the women of paradise."

Following desires and whims

The Prophet ﷺ feared for his nation desires which would deviate them: “The thing that I fear the most for you is that you follow your evil passions regarding your stomachs and private parts, and follow misguiding whims.”

(Imam Ahmad, Shaykh al-Albaani classified it as Authentic)

Imaam Muqbil (rahimahullaah) said:
”As for my Ikhlaas, it is weak.” He said: ”We fear Riyaa for ourselves and we are not safe from it; we fear self-amazement for ourselves and we are not safe from it.”

“Whoever hides knowledge by which Allah benefits people in their affairs of religion, Allah will bridle him on the Day of Resurrection with a bridle from hellfire.”

(Abu Dawud, An-Nisa’i, Ibn Majah)

Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) said: "Some scholars said: If you have a big stomach, you should consider yourself disabled until you become slim." (al-Jami', p. 519)

Taken with compliments from Ruqya Manchester.

A man brought his wife for treatment and said that his wife hated him very much and felt relaxed at home, during his absence. When I asked a few questions, it appeared to me, from the symptoms that she suffered from Sihr of separation. After reciting the Ruqya, a Jinn spoke in her person. Here is the summary of the conversation:

Me: What is your name?
Jinn: I will not tell you my name.
Me: What is your religion?
Jinn: Islam.
Me: Do you think it is lawful for a Muslim to torture another Muslim?
Jinn: I love her, and I am not torturing her. All I want is that her husband should keep away from her.
Me: You want to separate them, don’t you?
Jinn: Yes.
Me: You cannot do that. Get out of her, for the sake of Allaah’s obedience.
Jinn: No, I love her.
Me: But she hates you.
Jinn: No, she loves me.
Me: You are a liar. She hates you and that is why she has come here to get you out of her body.
Jinn: I will not get out.
Me: Then, I will burn you with the Quran (reciting the verses).

I recited some verses over her and he screamed.

Me: Will you get out now?
Jinn: Yes, but conditionally.
Me: What is your condition?
Jinn: To get out of her and to enter your body.
Me: All right, get out of her and enter into my body.
The Jinn waited for a moment then cried.
Me: Why are you crying?
Jinn: No Jinn can enter into your body today.
Me: Why?
Jinn: Because this morning, you said:
“La ilaha illallaah wahdahu laa sharika lahu lahulmulko wa lahulhamd wa huwa alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.”
100 times.

And the Prophet (pbuh) was truthful when he said:

“Whosoever says: “La ilaha illallaah wahdahu laa sharika lahu lahulmulko wa lahulhamd wa huwa alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.” 100 times a day, will have a reward equal to the manumission of 10 slaves, will have ten good deeds added to and ten bad deeds erased from his register, and will be protected by this supplication the Satan throughout the day until the evening, No one is better than he who says this supplication except a man who says more.”
Refer: Al-Bukhari in Fath Al-Baari, 6/338, and Muslim in An-Nawawi 17/17.

Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan mentioned in his explanation of Kitab at-Tawhid under the chapter [The Virtues of Tawhid and that which it Expiates from Sins], “The places of residence – as ibn ul-Qayyim mentioned – are three;

The First: The residence of this world, and it is the residence of actions and gaining [good deeds].

The Second: The residence of the Barzakh, and that is the residence within the graves, a barzakh between this world and the Hereafter. The term barzakh means a “divider” or “barrier” [i.e. the life within the graves is the seperator between this world and the Hereafter], and the life within the graves is [therefore] termed as the life of the barzakh. Within it are amazing affairs; in it is blessing or punishment,either a pit from the pits of the Hell-Fire, or a garden from the gardens of Paradise. The dead remain in their graves until Allah the Mighty and Majestic wishes to resurrect and gather them for accountability and recompense…[and so] this residence is a waiting station [until resurrection].

The Third: The residence of recompense, which is the Day of Judgement, [either] Paradise or Hell; and this residence does not perish nor cease ever. If a person believes in these two abodes [Paradise and Hell], then indeed that will cause a person to perform righteous actions and [seek] repentance from sins and wrong-doing. So if he is certain that Paradise exists, and that he cannot enter this Paradise except with righteous actions – then [surely] he will act [upon righteousness]. [Similarly] if he is certain that Hell exists and that he will enter it [if he performs] sins, disbelief and evil actions – then [surely] he will be wary and cautious of that and repent to Allah the Mighty and Majestic.

Therefore, eemaan in Paradise and Hell causes the slave to perform righteous actions and to seek repentance from sins and evil actions, as for the one who does not believe in the Hereafter, then this one will act in accordance to what his desires dictate to him and what his soul craves and he will not hold himself accountable [and reflect] ever”.
