"Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahesha (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.) and the remembering (praising, etc.) of (you by) Allah (in front of the angels) is greater indeed (than your remembering (praising, etc.) Allah in prayers, etc.). And Allah knows what you do.”

(Surah al-Ankaboot 45).

Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen said:

❝No matter how many good deeds you may have done… Don’t be amazed at your actions.
Verily! Your actions are but a few in comparison to… The rights of Allaah upon you.❞

[Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen (1/575) of Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen]

Abū Hanīfah [رحمه الله] said:

❝It is Harām upon the one who does not know my evidence to give Fatāwā with my speech.❞

[I’lām al-Muwaqqi’īn, (2/309) | Translated By Abū Ruqayyah 'Abd us-Samad]

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:
“O Nafi’! The blood is boiling in me, find me a cupper, but let it be someone gentle if you can, not an old man or a young boy. For I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Cupping on an empty stomach is better, and in it there is healing and blessing, and it increases one’s intellect and memory. So have yourselves cupped for the blessing of Allah on Thursdays, and avoid cupping on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Have yourselves cupped on Mondays and Tuesdays, for that is the day on which Allah relieved Ayyub of Calamity, and He inflicted calamity upon him on a Wednesday, and leprosy and leucoderma only appear on Wednesdays, or on the night of Wednesday.”

12: Censure of Debating and Arguing
Debating, arguing and disputing are innovations which throw doubt into the heart, even if the person reaches the truth and the Sunnah[1].

NOTES
1. Allaah, the Most High says:

"None dispute about the signs of Allaah, except those who disbelieve." (Soorah Ghaafir 40:4)

At-Tirmidhee reports a hasan hadeeth from Abu Umaamah, who said: "Allaah's Messenger (saws) said, "A people never went astray after being upon guidance except through disputation." Then Allaah's Messenger (saws) recited this Ayah :

"This they set forth to you, only by way of argument. Nay, but they are a contentious people." (Soorah az-Zukhruf 43:58)

Al-Aajurree reports in ash-Sharee'ah (p.57) that a man came to al-Hasan (al-Basree) and said, "O Abu Sa'eed! Let me debate with you about the Religion." Al-Hasan replied, "As for me, I know my religion, If you have lost your Religion then go and look for it."

'Umar ibn 'Abdul-'Azeez, rahimahullaah, said, "He who allows his Religion to be open to disputing will frequently change over." See Jaami' Bayaanil 'Ilm (2/113)

Give the best rizq to your children

🔸Knowledge Is Rizq From Allaah🔸

🎙Shaykh AbdulAziz bin Baz [رحمه الله] said:

🔷It is known that acquiring knowledge is from the best of provisions. It is exiting from the confinement of ignorance and its darkness to the vastness of knowledge and its light.

🔸Allaah [تعالى] said:

﴿وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا﴾‏

'And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him.'

🔷Acquiring beneficial knowledge is from the greatest of success and ease; because the student of Sharia' knowledge acquires with his knowledge many types of goodness and means of salvation which cannot easily be acquired by the ignorant person.

📚Fatawa Shaykh bin Baz, (1/350)

Imaam Maalik said:

“Truly I am only a mortal: I make mistakes (sometimes) and I am correct (sometimes). Therefore, look into my opinions: all that agrees with the Book and the Sunnah, accept it; and all that does not agree with the Book and the Sunnah, ignore it.” [Ibn ‘Abdul Barr in Jaami’ Bayaan al-’Ilm, 2/32]

Complaining...

“He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned” [Surat ul-Ambiyaa, 21:23]

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) comments:

“Allaah is not questioned about what He does, because Allaah never does anything except for a wisdom. And the wisdom may be apparent or may be hidden to us. So we believe that Allaah never does anything in vain, but rather He does it due to a wisdom, whether it is apparent to us or not.”

[At-Ta’leeqaat ul-Mukhtasarah ‘alaa l-’Aqeedat it-Tahaawiyyah, p. 113 Asaheeha Translations]

Don't let your desires of the Dunyaah get the best of you. "Time" belongs to Allaah Al-Mumit. Utilize the time you have wisely. Before your time is up. ⌛

Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “There are two blessings which many people waste: health and free time.”

TWO FACES

Abu Hurayrah (may Allāh ﷻ be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

❞إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي هَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ وَهَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ❝

❝Among the worst of people is the one with two faces, he who comes with one face to these and another to those.❞

• Reported in Sahīh Muslim 2526

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Sāliḥ al-'Uthaymīn said: "From the means of protection from the trials and tribulations is (praying) the night prayer."

● [شرح صحيح البخاري ٥٠١/٩]

Imaam Shafi'ee :

"Pleasing everyone is an impossible aim. Rather focus on what will benefit you and stick to it."

[ Madaarij, v.2, p.223 ]

Ibn Umar reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allaah, peace and blessings be upon him, about the night prayer. The Prophet said,

“The night prayer is performed two by two. If you worry that dawn is approaching, then pray a single bowing as that will be your witr prayer.”

Ustaadh Abdulilah Lahmami

"Sheikh Ubayd al-Jaabiree spoke against those Muslim men and women who use the internet to find a partner. He said there are amongst some men whose hearts there is a disease and who are cursed by Allaah such that they enter amongst forums specific for women with female names and start chatting with sisters and even if it is for da'wah for they deceive the people around them and then ask them for marriage etc.

"The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said 'Whoever comes to you and you are pleased with their deen and mannerism...' Saheehah (1022)

"Here the sheikh said a Muslim man who wants to get married should go to the wali (her guardian) and not through the internet so they can see the mannerism and deen of the one proposing. How can the deen and mannerism be ascertained from the internet? The hadeeth says "comes to you". Sisters and brothers he said be warned since these brothers and also some sisters have no shame in what they do and sometimes they break marriages as they maybe speak to someone who is already married and chat with them until the divorce has occurred. And he said he has received numerous complaints about this.

The Ruling on Yoga -

Yoga is not simply a physical exercise, it is rather a form of worship to the sun instead of Allaah.

Definition from Merrium Webster Dictionary: a Hindu theistic philosophy teaching the suppression of all activity of body, mind, and will in order that the self may realize its distinction from them and attain liberation

Collins English dictionary defines Yoga as: a Hindu system of philosophy aiming at the mystical union of the self with the Supreme Being in a state of complete awareness and tranquillity through certain physical and mental exercises

Ruling on Yoga:
It is not permissible because the aqeedah behind it is Shirk. Even if for medical reasons, there are alternatives to yoga.

Patience and Shakwah (complaint)

As Salaamu alaikumIn the name of Allaah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Taken from the book called "Patience and Gratitude" by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah on pg. 8

Patience and shakwah (complaint) Shakwah (complaint) falls into two categories:The first type means to complain to Allaah, and this does not contradict patience. It is demonstrated by several of the Prophets, for example, when Ya'qub (alaihi salaam) said:"I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allaah." [Yusuf 12:86]Earlier, Ya'qub (alaihi salaam) has said "sabrun jamil," which means "patience is most fitting for me." The Qur'aan also tells us about Ayyub:"And (remember) Ayyub (Job), when he cried to his Lord,'Truly distress has seized me...'"[al-Anbiya' 21:83].The epitome of patience, the Prophet (sallAllaahu alaihi wa sallam), prayed to his Lord: "O Allaah, I complain to You of my weakness and helplessness." Musa (alaihi salaam) prayed to Allaah, saying: "O Allaah, all praise is due to You, and complaint is made only to You, and You are the only One from Whom we seek help and in Whom we put our trust, and there is no power except by Your help." The second type of complaint involves complaining to people, either directly, through our words, or indirectly, through the way we look and behave. This is contradictory to patience.

"Make Dua For Everyone Who Crosses Your Mind. Honour The Guests Of Your Heart."

May Allah Bless Each One Of You With Good Health, Success, Happiness, Strong Imaan and A Beautiful Hereafter. Aameen

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"Dua is worship."

[Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi, 3372; Abu Dawood, 1479; Ibn Maajah, 3828; classed as Saheeh by Al-Albaani in Saheeh Al-Tirmidhi, 2590]

The story of Uwais Al-Qarni رحمه الله

“The story of Uwais Al-Qarni was mentioned in Sahih Muslim as well as in other books. Now even though he was from the Tabi’een and did not see the Messenger [ صلى الله عليه و سلم], the Messenger [صلى الله عليه و سلم ] had advised Umar ibn Al Khattaab رضي الله عنه that if he meets [Uwais] then he, Umar, should ask [Uwais] to ask Allah to forgive him and to make supplication for him.

Asir ibn Jaabir رضي الله عنه narrated:

Whenever people would come from Yemen, Umar رضي الله عنه would ask them, “Is Uways Al-Qaranee amongst you?” until, one year, he met Uways.

He said, “Are you Uways Al-Qaranee?” He said, “Yes.”

Umar continued, “From Muraad, then Qaran?” He said, “Yes.”

Umar then asked, “Were you once afflicted with leprosy and your skin healed except for a dirham’s area?” Uways said, “Yes.”

Umar finally asked, “Do you have a mother (that is alive)?” He said, “Yes.”

Umar then said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و say, ‘Uways ibn Aamir will come to you with the delegations from Yemen, from Muraad, then from Qaran. He was once afflicted with leprosy and his skin healed except for a dirham’s area. He has a mother, and he treats her kindly. If he was to ever swear by Allah (for something) Allah would fulfill his oath. If you can, request that he ask forgiveness for you.”

Umar then requested from Uways, “Ask forgiveness for me.” And Uways Al-Qaranee did.
