The Sound Of The Qur’aan

Al-Imam Ibn al-Qayyim [رحمه الله] said:

"The sound of the Qur’aan: soothes souls, gives them tranquillity and causes them to be calm…

The sound of music causes the souls to become instigated, excited and causes it unease and causes it to become disturbed and agitated."

[Bada’ia at-Tafseer, (2/143) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

The Messenger [ﷺ] said:

❝If you see those who praise you, throw dirt in their faces.❞

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Shaykh Al-Albaani, (No. 912) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya]

Alee Bin Zaid Al-Madkhalee says:

The twenty third advice: *The dislike of praising (someone) to their face*

And the reason for it being disliked is so that the one who is being spoken about does not become deceived by it and then feel arrogance, and that is an offense against him, and so that the one who is praising will not enter into anything of lying and bring about sin (upon himself).

And the proof for the dislike is what the two Sheikhs (Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim) have reported from the hadeeth of ‘Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Abee Bakrah from his father that a man praised a man in front of the Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam). So, the Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

*“Woe be to you, you have cut the neck of your companion”.*

Then he said:

*“If one of you is to definitely praise his brother then let him say: ‘I deem such and such (to be like that) and I do not praise anyone above Allah, Allah is his Reckoner’ – if he believes that he is like that.”* [2]

So, there is in this hadeeth a prohibition against the open praising (of a person) due to what it leads to in terms of harm which may beset both the one who is praising and the one who is being praised as I have already said, except that the Prophet (sallalahualaihi wa sallam) guided towards a substitute when a person wants to praise another person, as you have seen.

And in Saheeh Muslim from Miqdaad (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man began to praise ‘Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him) so Miqdaad proceeded (towards him) and went down on his knees and began to throw the gravel on his face. So, ‘Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: ‘What’s the matter with you?’ So, he said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

*“When you see those who praise people (to their faces), then throw dirt in their faces.”* [3]

And in the two Saheehs of Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim from Abu Moosa Al-Ash’aree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) heard a man praise a man and extol him in praise, so he said:

*‘You have destroyed or cut the back of the man.”* [4]

And indeed, some of the scholars have made an exception to the dislike of a man praising (another) man for a good action or a praiseworthy affair occurring from him so that it would incite in him a desire to do the likes of it (again), and as an exhortation for the people in taking it as an example to be followed in those things which are similar to it.

I say: So, whosoever has to praise his brother to his face for a correct purpose which has limited or diverse benefit, then it is upon him to beware of exaggerating in the praise and making it long-winded. And it is also upon him to use the method which the Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) guided towards in the previous hadeeth.

Imaam Al-Baghawee said after mentioning the aforementioned hadeeth (of Miqdaad):

‘I say: And in totality, praise and commendation of a person (to their face) is disliked, for very rarely is the one who praises safe from a lie which he says whilst praising him, and very rarely is the one who is praised safe from the amazement (of himself) which enters him.’ [5]

Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله

When Allāh knows that a person does not want the truth, He misguides his heart.

[Liqá at al-Bab al-Muftúh, (No.73)]

Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān:

“If a person's 'Aqeedah has Shirk in it then ALL of his deeds are rejected, EVEN if he's sincere.”

● [الأجوبة ســ ٣٤]

When Bakr (rahimahullaah) used to see an old man, he would say:

"This (person) is better than me. He worshipped Allaah before me." And if he saw a youth, he would say: "This (person) is better than me. I have committed more sins than he has committed."

[Siyar A’laam An-Nubulaa 4/535]

http://masjidfurqan.co.uk/2014/09/02/our-salaf-bakr-bin-abdullaah-al-muzani-rahimahullaah/

Pray Tahajjud if you are able to, as it will help strengthen your connection and relationship with Allah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.” Narrated by Muslim, 1163.

And he said: “You should pray qiyaam al-layl, for it is the custom of the righteous who came before you and it brings you closer to your Lord, and expiates sins and prevents misdeeds.”

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3549; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 452.

“The custom of the righteous” means it was their usual practise.

“It brings you closer to your Lord” means, it is an act of worship by means of which one may draw closer to Allaah.

“and prevents misdeeds” means, it prevents one from committing sin.

The Upbringing of Three Daughters
Shaykh Allaamah Abdul Azeez bin Abdullaah Bin Baaz Rahimahullaah
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

The Question:
The Messenger of Allaah – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said: ❝Whoever had three daughters and was patient with them, gave them drink and clothed them then they will be a screen for him from the Fire.❞

Will this screen from the Fire be just for their father alone or does the mother have a share in this? I have -all praise be to Allaah – three daughters.

The Answer:
The hadeeth is general for the father and the mother due to the Messenger’s saying: ❝Whoever has two daughters and is good to them then they will be a covering for him from the Fire.❞

Likewise, if he had sisters, aunts or similar to them and he is good to them then indeed we hope for Paradise for him due to that.

So when he is good to them he is deserving of a great reward, it will screen him from the Fire and it will come between him and the Fire due to his good deed.

This is specific to the Muslims. If a Muslim performs these good actions desiring the Face of Allaah, then he has attained a means for his salvation from the Fire.

Being saved from the Fire and entering into Paradise has many routes, so it is necessary for a believer to increase in them. Islaam itself is a single foundation and it is the fundamental reason for entering Paradise and being rescued from the Fire.

There are deeds which, if a Muslim performs them, he enters Paradise due to them and is saved from the Fire, such as the one who has been given daughters or sisters and is good to them, then they will be a screen for him from the Fire. Similarly, whoever had three of his offspring, who had not reached the age of accountability, die then they will be a screen for him from the Fire.

The Companions asked: ❝O Messenger of Allaah what about two daughters?❞
He answered: ‘Even two,’ and they did not ask him about one daughter.

It is authentically reported on the authority of the Messenger – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – that he said: Allaah – Azza wa Jal- said, ❝For My believing slave who, if I take his close friend from the people of the Duniya and then he performs righteous actions, there is no reward except Paradise.❞

So Allaah –Subhanahu wa Ta’ala- explained that for His believing slave whose close friend He takes- i.e. His beloved – from the people of the Duniya, who is then patient and performs good deeds, He has no reward other than Paradise.

So even if one of our offspring enters this hadeeth and Allaah takes possession of him and takes him to Himself, then if that person’s father, mother or both of them are patient and they perform good deeds then they will have Paradise, and that is great excellence from Allaah.

Similarly, a husband, wife, the rest of the relatives and friends, if they are patient and perform good deeds then they enter this hadeeth provided that they are safe from that which could, perhaps, cause them to die on any of the major sins. We ask Allaah for safety.

The Great Scholar Rabee' Bin Haadi Al Madhkali (may Allaah the Most High preserve him) said:

"If you hide your mistakes and somebody discovers them, he should advise you in private. However, if your words and actions are spread or broadcast around the world and then a Muslim comes and corrects you, then there is nothing wrong with that."

“O you who are patient! Bear a little more, just a little more remains.”

(Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رضي الله)[Al-Fawaa'id Page 119, English Translation]

Imām Ahmad b. Ḥanbāl said:

“If a man knows himself, the speech of people will not benefit him.”

● [Sīyar A’lām Al-Nubalā` (v. 11, 211)]

The Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said:

'Ahead of you there lie days of patience, during which being patient will be like grasping a hot coal. The one who does good deeds then will have a reward like that of fifty men who do such deeds.’ They said: O Messenger of Allaah, the reward of fifty of them? He said: 'The reward of fifty of you.’

(Narrated by Abu Dawood (4341); at-Tirmidhi (3085), who said it is a hasan hadeeth. It was classed as 'saheeh’ by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah [494]).
