Blessed Raihaan :

1. Hazrat Abu Usman An-Nahdi رضي الله عنه says that Nabiﷺ said if anyone of you is given (gifted) Rehaan (Rayhan) (الريحان) (fragrance) do not reject (refuse) it, (because) it is from Paradise (الجنة).
[Tirmizi: 3021; Book. 43, English vol.5; Book. 41, Hadees no. 2791]

2. Hazrat Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه says that Nabiﷺ said whoever is offered Rehaan (Rayhan) (الريحان), should not refuse it, (because) it has pleasant smell & is light in weight.
[Muslim 2253; Book no. 40; In English Book no. 27; Hadees no. 5600]

3. Nabiﷺ said that Hasan & Husein رضي الله عنه both are my Rehaan (Rayhan) (الريحان) (sweet smelling flowers) on earth (الدنيا). [Mishkat: 6145]

Ibn Taymiyyah said: "If I remained silent and you remained silent, then who will teach the ignorant?"

Reflect over this!

The prophet ﷺ said:

"And lowliness and humiliation have been placed upon those who disobey my orders."

Benefits of Eemaan in Qadr
By Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen (d.1421 A.H.) -Rahimullaah-

Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen said in ‘Sharh al-Aqeedah al-Wasiteeyah’:

‘Having Eemaan in Qadr has benefits, from them are:

1- Qadr is from the perfection of al-Eemaan, and al-Eemaan cannot be complete without it.

2- It is from the perfection of Eemaan in Ruboobeeyah (Allaah’s Lordship), because the Qadr of Allaah is from His Actions.

3- That a person returns all his matters to his Lord; because if he knows that everything is with Allaah’s Qada and His Qadr, then he will return to Allaah in repelling harm for the relief from it, and he will attribute prosperity to Allaah and he will know that this is from the excellence of Allaah upon him.

4- That a person knows his own worth, and he does not become proud when doing good.

5- That afflictions/problems become easier for Allaah’s slave; because if a person knows that it is from Allaah then his afflictions/problems is lessened. As Allaah Ta’ala said:

وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِ قَلۡبَهُۥۚ

<< Whoever believes in Allaah then his heart is tranquil>> [Taghabun: 11]

6 – Ascribing blessings to the one who renders that blessing, this is because if you did not believe in Qadr you would ascribe blessings to the who takes care of giving those blessings, and this is present a lot amongst those who approach kings, leaders and ministers. If they receive from them what they want they say that the excellence was from them, and they forget the excellence of the Creator Subhanahu.


It is correct that it is obligatory upon a person to be thankful to the people, due to the statement of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa salam:

ومن أتى إليكم معروفا ؛ فكافئوه

‘Whoever does a favour for you then compensate that person.’ [Saheehah no. 254 & Irwaa No. 1617], however it should be known that the foundation of all foundations is the excellence of Allaah – Azza wa Jal – which Allah placed at the hand of this man.

7 – So that a person can know the wisdom of Allaah – Azza wa Jal -. This is because when he looks into this universe and what occurs in it from amazing, brilliant changes, then he comes to know about the Wisdom of Allaah Azza wa Jal – and this is in contrast to the one who forgets al-Qada and al-Qadr then he does not get this benefit.

💢A brief message for the one who loves to tell people lies about others to get attention, remember :

🔥‼️And your Lord never forgets.‼️🔥

[ Surat Al-maryam | C. 19 | V.64]

There are 3 types of Tullaab ul ilm :
1. Those who devote themselves completely to seeking knowledge.
2. Those who divide their time equally between seeking knowledge and seeking the permissible rizq.
3. Those engaged full time in seeking worldly provision but who seek knowledge to fulfill their obligatory duties.
All the above examples can be found if one examines the lives of the companions.

Abū ad-Dardā رضي الله عنه:

“Strive in making Du'ā for whoever increases in knocking at the door then it is at the brink of opening up.”

● [�المصنف لابن أبي الشيبة ٢\٦]

Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāilḥ al-ʿUthaymīn (رحمه الله) was asked: “I heard and read that if a Muslim dies on a Thursday night, or during the day on a Friday, he will have a good station [in Jannah]. What is your view on that? May Allāh reward you.”

The shaykh (رحمه الله) said:

The Ḥadīth which reported the merit of dying on a Friday is inauthentic, since an individual is rewarded based on his voluntary actions [i.e. actions he did out of his free will]. The death of an individual on a Friday is not by choice [i.e. is not of his free will]. If death came to him on a Thursday, he is incapable of delaying it until Friday. [Similarly,] he is incapable of expediting it to Friday, if it was written for him to die on a Saturday.

[Thus,] every Ḥadīth that mentioned the merit of dying on a particular day is inauthentic because recompense is based on the voluntary actions of the slave.

Translated by: Musa Shaleem Mohammed

Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn (رحمه الله) was asked: “Is dying on a Friday a sign of a good ending?”

The shaykh (رحمه الله) stated: "No. There is no significance in dying on any given day. [However,] if dying on a particular day had some virtue, then Tuesday would have been the most virtuous [day to die on] since it was the day that the Prophet (ﷺ) died on. Nevertheless, I do not know of any particular day that is virtuous to die on."

Translated by: Musa Shaleem Mohammed

Abu Hurairah relates that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu'alaihi wa sallam) said, "There are no days more beloved to Allah for you to worship Him therein than the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Fasting any day during it is equivalent to fasting one year and to offer salatul tahajjud (late-night prayer) during one of its nights is like performing the late night prayer on the night of power. [i.e., Lailatul Qadr]."

[This is related by at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Baihaqi]

The disapproval of asking hypothetical and excessive questions:

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد
Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Leave me with what I have left to you, for those who were before you were destroyed because of excessive questioning, and their opposition to their Prophets. So when I command you to do anything, do it as much as it lies in your power and when I forbid you to do anything, then abandon it.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (7288) and Saheeh Muslim (2388, 4355) and the wordings are from Saheeh Muslim]

Narrated Sahl ibn Sad رضي الله عنه said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم disliked being asked (hypothetical) questions and disapproved it. [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (4745, 5308, 5259, 7304) and Saheeh Muslim (1492)]
Narrated al-Mugheerah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Allaah تعالى disliked that you…ask too many questions (in religion)…” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (1477, 2408, 5975, 6473) and Saheeh Muslim (593)]

Aamir bin Sad reported on the authority of his father that Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The greatest sinner amongst the Muslims is the one who asked about a thing (from Allaah’s Apostle) which had not been forbidden for the Muslims and it was forbidden for them because of his persistently asking about it.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (7289) and Saheeh Muslim (5821, 5822)]
Amr bin Murrah said that Umar (Ibn al-Khattaab) رضي الله عنه said to the people: “I forbid you from asking questions about the things which did not take place, for we should busy ourselves with what already took place.”

On the authority of Nafi that Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما said: “Do not ask about that which did not take place, for verily I heard Umar cursing the one who asked about the thing which did not happen.”

On the authority of Khaarijah bin Zaid that whenever someone asked Zaid bin Thaabit رضي الله عنه a question he would ask: “Did it already happen?” if the answer was in negative, he would say: “Leave it till it actually takes place.”

On the authority of al-Zuhree رحمه الله that it reached him that whenever someone asked Zaid bin Thaabit رضي الله عنه a question he would ask: “Did it already happen?” he if the answer was ‘yes’, he would narrated according to the knowledge he had. But if the answer was ‘no’, he would say: “Leave it till it actually takes place.”

On the authority of Masrooq that he asked a question from Ubai bin Ka`b رضي الله عنه . Ubai replied: “Did it take place?” I said: ‘No.” He said: “Leave us till it actually takes place. So when it does happen we would give our verdict to you.”

Does Tying the Hair Come Under the Narration of the Camel Head – Shaykh Ibn Baz

Questioner:

Some women tie their hair at the back of the head. Does this come under what has been prohibited in the hadith of the Messenger […. and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bakht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas its odour would be smelt from such and such distance]?

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Azīz bin ʿAbdullah bin Bāz:

No. The hadith reads: “like the humps of camels inclined to one side”, meaning they gather things on top their heads in order to enlarge them. As for this tying of the hair, it does not come under the same ruling that the Messenger said. However, in the prayer they should untie it and let it loose [under their hijab] As for what has been reported in the hadith, “like the humps of camels inclined to one side”, this means that they gather things on the head such as cloth such that it appears like the humps of camels inclined to one side. The humps of the bakht camels look like two humps with something in between them.

Adhere To The Scholars & Be Cautious Of The Unknowns On Social Media https://youtu.be/kaNMReMhfPk

🔹Real “Hadith Disciples” Do Not Forsake the Scholars

Written by: Moosaa Richardson
1438/11/22

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful…

Know that the people of knowledge shall indeed be forsaken by some! It is a reality that has been foretold in the hadeeth of Mu’aawiyah (may Allaah be pleased with him), as found in the two Saheeh Compilations of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim:

لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَةً بِأَمْرِ اللهِ، لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ
“A group of my Ummah shall continue to uphold the Order of Allaah. Those who forsake or oppose them do not harm them, until the Affair of Allaah arrives, whilst they are (still) uppermost among the people.”

These people are known as the scholars of Islam, as al-Imaam al-Bukhaaree (may Allaah have Mercy on him) said in his chapter noscript: “They are the people of knowledge.”

The statement, “…Those who forsake or oppose them do not harm them…” indicates that there will indeed be people who speak ill of the scholars and try to divert the people from them. This is from the pre-determined Qadr of Allaah, as part of the struggle between truth and falsehood that He, the All Mighty and All Wise, has decreed to be one of the many tests His Servants shall face.

The scholars of Islam actively work to provide solutions to the Ummah’s problems in every place. Allaah blesses their time and efforts, the effects of which can be found everywhere upon Earth, by His Permission. They are the best of Allaah’s Servants, His true allies, those He has paired His Divine Testimony with:

شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَالْمَلائِكَةُ وَأُولُوا الْعِلْمِ
“Allaah testifies that there are none worthy of worship except Him, and the Angels [also testify], and the the people of knowledge [also testify as well].” [Quran 3:18]

With this, they are still opposed and forsaken day and night by the very people who are in dire need of them. They are slandered. They are unjustly vilified. They are described by the ignorant and deviant as unconcerned and disconnected from the Ummah. Yet, “Those who forsake or oppose them DO NOT harm them.”

A Point for Serious Reflection

True “hadith disciples” are those who uphold this hadeeth, its wording and its meanings. They are those who work to expose and warn against those who undermine the work of the scholars and attempt to disconnect the people from them.

On the other hand, fraudulent self-proclaimed “hadith disciples” can be found demonstrating the exact behavior warned against in this hadeeth, forsaking and opposing the scholars, with terrible and unjust words, which could only come from levels and layers of deep contempt for the people of knowledge. [a recent example]

Once They Replace our Scholars…

Again, that same disturbing question poses itself once again: If they are pinching us off away from the scholars of Islam, where are they taking us…?

Some say that fasting in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah is Bid’ah (innovation in religion)? – Fatwas of Ibn Baz

Q: What is the opinion of your Eminence regarding the opinion of the one who says that Sawm in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah is Bid`ah (innovation in religion)?

A: This is an ignorant person who should be taught.

The Messenger (peace be upon him)ordered that good deed should be done in them and fasting is one of the good deeds.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these ten days (i.e. The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah).” They asked him: “O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah?” He (peace be upon him) replied: “Not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah, except in case one goes forth with his life and his property and does not return with either of it.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih Book of Hadith. [1]

Though it is not certain whether the Prophet (peace be upon him) fasted them or not, yet it should be relied on what the Prophet said because saying is much more significant than practice. When saying is accompanied by practice, this will affirm the Sunnah. The Sunnah of the Prophet are divided into saying, practice, and approving. Though each of them forms the Sunnah, the saying is the most significant and strong of them. Then, the practice comes next and then approval follows.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these days.” [2] By these days the Prophet means the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Thus, if one fasts or gives to charity during them, one will be doing a great good.

It is ordained during these days also to recite Takbir (saying: “Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]”), Tahmid (saying: “Al-hamdu lillah [All praise is due to Allah]”), and Tahlil (saying: “La ilaha illa Allah [There is no god except Allah]”) because he (peace be upon him) said:

“There are no days that are greater before Allah or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so recite a great deal of Tahlil, Takbir, and Tahmid during them.”[3]

May Allah grant us all success!

[Ar/Eng] Advice to the Students of Knowledge Regarding Personal Issues By Shaikh Saalih Al Fawzaan https://youtu.be/7O5eCafWtPc

"[1] Is there such a thing as "luck"?
Sh Muhammad Khalil Harras -Allah have Mercy on him- answers this question in his book "Ghurbatul-Islam"

[2] If what's intended by "luck"/"fortune" is that it's that which Allah has destined to be upon His slave & thus is his share in this life…

[3] …as is show in the Ayah (7:37) "For such [people] their appointed portion (or share) will reach them from the Book (of Decrees)" …

[4] …meaning they shall attain their decreed portion that Allah has written for them; then this definition of "luck"/"fortune" is correct.

[5] But if what's intended by "luck" is that things happen haphazardly, coincidentally or under some other power; this is blasphemous.

[6] Whoever believes in "luck" —according to the 2nd definition— has committed an act of Kufr (disbelief), because from the tenets of Iman…

[7] From the tenets of Iman (faith in Allah) is that a slave believe in al-Qadr (preordained Destiny), for better or worse, as Allah Wills.
