Hudhaifah (radhiAllaahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

"Do not let yourselves be 'yes-men', saying: 'If the people are good then we will be good, and if they are wrong then we will be wrong.' Rather, make up your own minds, if the people are good then you are good, and if they are evil, then do not behave unjustly.

(Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Book 27, Hadith 113)

Narrated by Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RA) that the Prophet (SAW) said: “You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you hand span by hand span, cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you will enter it too.” We said: “O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?” He said: “Who else?” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1397; Muslim, 4822.

May Allaah grant us wisdom and understanding. Aameen.

Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan

"Many people nowadays, if you see them doing something wrong and forbid them, will say to you, There is a difference of opinion on this issue. They take difference of opinion as a justification for what they are doing, even if it contradicts the evidence."

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “The sweetness of Dunyā is the bitterness of Ākhirah and the bitterness of Dunyā is the sweetness of Ākhirah.”

● [سلسلة الأحاديث الصحيحة ٤/٤٣١]

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

‘Every Muslim should be warned of the oppression of:

"I – My/Mine – I Possess"

Indeed these three words are what Iblees (Shaytan), Fir’awn and Qaroon were tried with.

Iblees said: "I am better than him"
Fir’awn said: "Is not mine the Kingdom of Egypt,"
Qaroon said: "This has been given to me only because of knowledge I possess."

So regarding the saying of the Slave of Allaah ‘I’ – then the best that he can be described with is:
I am a slave who sins, makes mistakes, seeks forgiveness and recognizes this.

So regarding the saying of ‘My/Mine’ – and those statements similar to that is:
My sins, my crimes, my humbleness, my deprivation and submissiveness.

So regarding the saying of ‘I Possess’:
Forgive me for my mistakes and what I do intentionally, in jest, or in seriousness and I possess all these shortcomings.

[Taken from ‘Za’ad al-Ma’aad’ 2/475 – By Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawzeeyah]

Beautiful advise from the Shaykh Al ‘Allaamah 'Abdul 'Azeez Ibn Baaz

It was said to the shaykh,
“Oh shaykh, so and so has become misguided”. The Shaykh replied:

“Perhaps his deviation was due to two things:

1. He didn’t ask Allah for Ath-thabaat (firmness).

2. He didn’t thank Allah for Al-Istiqaamah (steadfastness)

So when Allah chose for you the path of guidance, it was not because you are special, nor was it because of your obedience. But rather, it was a mercy from Him that enveloped you. He can remove it from you at any time.

Therefore, do not be deceived by your actions nor by your worship. And do not look down upon the one who has deviated from His path. For had it not been due to His mercy, you would have been in his position.

Repeat the recitation of this verse while pondering:

﴿ ولوﻵ أن ثبتناك لقد كدت تركن إليهم شيئا قليلا ﴾

"Had We not made you firm (Oh Muhammed صلى الله عيه وسلم) then you would have inclined towards them slightly.”

So upon is to not to think that thabaat (firmness) upon Al-Istiqaamah (steadfastness) is due to your own personal achievements. Ponder over His statement (Ta'aalaa) to the best of mankind: “Had We not made you firm (Oh Muhammed صلى الله عيه وسلم).”

So how about you?!

We are greatly mistaken when we disregard and pay no attention to our athkaar (supplications of remembrance). We believe it to be something that is not important and we forget that Allah preserves us with it. And perhaps the decree will change…

Ibnul-Qayyim says:
“The need of the servant in his supplications by which he seeks refuge [in Allah], is more severe than his need for food, drink and clothes!”

Be consistent in your athkaar (supplications of remembrance), so that you can encompass the meaning:

“Preserve Allah, He will preserve you.”

Fortify [yourselves] every morning and evening [with your athkaar (supplications of remembrance)]. For the dunya (life of this world) is horrifying and full of surprises and Allah is the protector of His servants.

"DON'T JUDGE ME" IS NOT FROM ISLAM

Abdullah ibn Utbah reported: I heard Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, say, “Verily, in the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, the people would be judged by revelation, but the revelation has ended. Now we judge you according to your outward deeds. Whoever shows us good, we will trust him and favor him and it is not for us to judge his inner secrets, for Allah will hold him accountable for those. Whoever shows us evil, then we will not trust him or believe in him even if he claims his intention is good.”

Does Fasting have a Collective Benefit?Question:

Does fasting have a collective benefit?

هل للصوم فائدة اجتماعية؟

Answer:

Yes, it has its collective benefits, from them: The people feel that they are one Ummah, they (all) eat at the same time and they (all) fast at the same time. The rich realize the blessings of Allaah (upon them) and they sympathize towards the poor people. And, fasting minimizes the pitfalls (caused) by Shaytaan to Baaniý Adaam (son of Adaam). And, there is taqwaa (fear of Allaah) in fasting and taqwaa (fear of Allaah) strengthens the ties between the individual members of society.

نعم له فائدة اجتما عية منها: شعور الناس بأنهم أمة واحد، يأكلون في وقت واحد، ويصومون في وقت واحد، ويشعر الغني بنعمة الله، ويعطف على الفقير، ويقلل من مزالق الشيطان لابن آدم، وفيه تقوى الله ، وتقوى الله تُقَوِّى الأواصربين أفراد المجتمع

✒ Hope And Fear Of Allāh | SubḥānAllāh

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : لو يعلم المؤمن ما عند الله من العقوبة ما طمع في الجنة أحد ولو يعلم الكافر ما عند الله من الرحمة ما قنط من الجنة أحد

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “If the believer knew what is (prepared) with Allāh of the punishment, NONE would HOPE for Jannah and if the disbeliever knew what is (prepared) with Allāh of the mercy, NONE would DESPAIR of (attaining) Jannah.”

Ruling on writing Qur’aanic Aayaat in shapes of trees or at the back of the cars:

۩ Writing the name of Allaah at the back of the cars etc.:

Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:

• It is not permissible for the calligrapher or the artist or other than them to write Allaah or any other Names from al-Asmaa’ al-Husnaa or from His Loft Attributes at the back of the cars.

• The owner of the vehicle should not let them do so; irrespective it is for decoration/adornment, or for seeking blessings, or as a means of reminder or warning.

• It has no basis, neither from the Book of Allaah تعالى nor from the Sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.

• This is not the way we worship Allaah.

• If it was legislated, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would have informed us about it.

• It is a means of disrespecting the Names of Allaah and His Attributes, and not honoring them the way they should be honored, and a means of belittling them.

• It becomes a means for Shirk if a person believes that writing them will benefit him or protect him from some harm.

• Allaah تعالى did not reveal His Names and Attributes so that they be written/painted upon some devices or banners or on cars.

• Allaah تعالى revealed His Names and Attributes so that He informs His slaves about Himself so that they believe in Him and affirm these Names and Attributes; so that they believe in the Perfection and the Loftiness of the Lord.

• And that the slaves use these Names and Attributes while beseeching Him when they are at ease or in their hours of need.

•۩۞۩•

۩ Writing the Qur’aanic Aayaat in the shape of trees and birds:

Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:

• It is prohibited to write the Qur’aanic Aayaat in the shape/form of trees birds or something else.

• Similarly, it is prohibited to draw them on dishes or canvases for decoration or as a means to promote your merchandise.

• The doer will be sinful.

• It is disrespecting the Qur’aan and belittling it.

• It might end up in a place where it is not suited for it, especially after the time period when the surface on which it is written starts to wear out (or when the painting starts to fade) or when it gets misplaced or lost during transportation from one place to another.

• Allaah تعالى revealed the Qur’aan:
-- as an admonition.
-- as a reminder.
-- as a lesson.
-- as a healing (for the disease of ignorance, doubts etc.) in the chest.
-- so that its commands are carried out.
-- so that it is recited during the days and the nights.
-- so that they believe in it.
-- so that through it they may grow more in Imaan (Faith).
-- so that through it, Allaah تعالى increases their statuses.

[al-Jaami fee fiqh al-allaamah Ibn Baaz pg. 1155-1156]

The Prophet (sallallahu Allahyi wa salaam) said, “The one who repents from sin is like the one who never sinned.” [Ibn Maja (3240)]He also said, “Remorse is repentance.” [Ibn Maja (4242) and Ahmad (3387)]

"The one who is aware of himself is never deceived by the praise."

Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimeen rahimahuAllaah said:

“Whenever you fulfil the needs of your brother, Allaah will fulfil your needs!”

“A true Muslim brotherhood is one who keeps advising, reminding and directing you to the straight path. He never keeps himself away from you nor flatters you.Rather, he gives you counsel and admonishes you. He reminds you to be mindful of Allah. He shows the path of salvation so that you can follow it and warns you of treading the path of perdition so that you can steer clear of it.”
