Shaykh Bin Baz [رحمه الله] said:

❝If the people of truth did not speak out in clarification of the truth, then the people of error would remain upon their mistakes, others would blindly follow them in that, and the sin of withholding the truth would fall back on those who remained silent.❞

[Fatawa Shaykh Bin Baz, (3/72) | Translated By Abu Muadh Taqweem Aslam]

Value of this Duniya/World (and everything in it)....

This life is a test for a believer and a paradise for a disbeliever!

It was narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d said:
“We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in Dhul-Hulaifah, when we saw a dead sheep lifting its leg (because of bloating). He said: ‘Don’t you think this is worthless to its owner? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, this world is more worthless to Allah than this (dead sheep) is to its owner. If this world was worth the wing of a mosquito to Allah, the disbeliever would not have a drop to drink from it.’”

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى، زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ مَنْظُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِشَاةٍ مَيِّتَةٍ شَائِلَةٍ بِرِجْلِهَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَتُرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَيِّنَةً عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا وَلَوْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا تَزِنُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ مَا سَقَى كَافِرًا مِنْهَا قَطْرَةً أَبَدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF!

Who would have thought I'd have lived to witness this statement in reality.

The great Sahābī 'Abdullāh Ibn Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه said:

"مِنْ أَكْبَرِ الذَّنْبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ ، فَيَقُولُ : عَلَيْكَ بِنَفْسِكَ"

"From the greatest of sins with Allāh is when a man says to his brother, 'Fear Allāh,' and he replies: Worry about yourself."

[Reported by al-Daynūri in al-Mujālasah 2/448]

If Ships Were To Sail In Their Tears, They Would Float | A Spine-Chilling Narration

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن أهل النار ليبكون حتى لو أجريت السفن في دموعهم لجرت وإنهم ليبكون الدم يعني مكان الدمع.

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Verily, the people of Hellfire will cry, so much so that if ships were to sail in their tears, THEY WOULD FLOAT, and indeed they cry blood – meaning instead of tears.”

Dua - Asking for pardon and wellbeing, veiling weakness and refuge from all sides

O Allaah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this life and the next. O Allaah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth. O Allaah, veil my weaknesses and set at ease my dismay. O Allaah, preserve me from the front and from behind and on my right and on my left and from above, and I take refuge with You lest I be swallowed up by the earth.

Allaahumma 'innee 'as'alukal-'afwa wal'aafiyata fid-dunyaa wal'aakhirati, Allaahumma 'innee 'as'alukal-'afwa wal'aafiyata fee deenee wa dunyaaya wa 'ahlee, wa maalee, Allaahum-mastur 'awraatee, wa 'aamin raw'aatee, Allaahum-mahfadhnee min bayni yadayya, wa min khalfee, wa 'an yameenee, wa 'an shimaalee, wa min fawqee, wa 'a'oothu bi'adhamatika 'an 'ughtaala min tahtee.

Simple supplication which if answered can assist one in attaining sincerity. May Allah grant us sincerity. Allahumma Aameen.

And it was from the duaa of Umar Bin Al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه :

Many patients are cured without any medication!
Either due to an answered Duaa, or due to an effective Ruqiyah, or due to the strength of one's heart, with the perfection of his Tawakkul.
-Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimahullah)
[Majmoo' Fataawa 21/56]

Abdullah bin masood ra said to his students

عن عبدالله يعني ابنَ مسعود أنه قالَ: لا تقلدوا دينكم الرجال، فإنْ أبَيْتُمْ فبالأمواتِ لا بالأحياءِ.

Do not Make taqleed of people in your deen, If you reject (my words) then follow those who passed away(Companions of Prophet peace be upon him), not those who are alive.

Why People Invent Bid’ah

Mu’âdh b. Jabal – Allâh be pleased with him – used to say:

Ahead of you are times of trials (fitan) in which there will be much wealth and in which the Qur’ân will be opened and taken (read) by believers and hypocrites, men and women, young and old and freemen and slaves. At that time it is likely that there will be people who will say, “Why aren’t the people following me when I have read the Qur’ân? They will not follow me until I invent something else.” So, beware of everything that is innovated (in religion), for those things that are innovated are misguidance.

GUIDANCE FROM THE SALAF ON PATIENCE & COMPLAINING ABOUT CALAMITIES.

Shaqiq al-Balkhee said, "Whoever complained of a calamity to other than Allaah, he will not find the sweetness of obedience" (9/315).

Hamdoon al-Qassaar said, "No one despairs from a calamity except one who suspects His Lord" (13/51).

Mugheerah said, "The eye of al-Ahnaf was lost, and al-Ahnaf said, 'I lost it forty years ago and I have not complained to a single person'." (4/92).

Al-Asma'ee said, "al-Fudayl saw a man complaining to another so he said, 'O So and so! Are you complaining about the one who shows you mercy (Allaah) to one who does not show you mercy (man)'." (8/439)

*If a fāsiq comes to you*

Allāh ﷻ orders and commands the believers to verify any information that comes to them.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ

O you who believe!

If a FĀSIQ (rebellious evil person) comes to you with a news...

...VERIFY IT...

...lest you HARM people in IGNORANCE...

...and afterwards you become REGRETFUL to what you have done.

[Sūrah al-Hujurāt Āyah 6]

This has become common on social media where those who indulge in Fisq (open sin and disobedience) spread lies and slander, yet people foolishly believe it.

Those who do this will taste regret either in this life, or even worse, in the next.

On that Day, the severity of regret will be in proportion to the severity of harm that was caused.

🚫 A Great Danger 🚫

Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān Hafiẓahullāh mentioned the story of a man who read Bukhārī on his own and he came across the Ḥadeeth:

الحبة السوداء شفاء من كل داء

'Blackseed has cure for every illness.'

However he read الحبة السوداء (blackseed) as الحية السوداء (black snake), thus he went, bought a black snake, slaughtered it, ate it and afterwards died from its poisoning, so had he asked the scholars he would've saved himself,

Hence merely studying without returning to Ahlul-'Ilm (for its understanding) is a great danger so look to how many pretenders of knowledge have killed themselves (due to self-amazement).

● [Taken from the Shaykh's book: طرق تعلم العلم]

Translated (Paraphrased) By: Sameeullaah Sameeullaah (Aboo Maryamm)

!!Don't post your personal problems on facebook {or any social media}.

!!Your personal problems requires personal solutions not social attention.

...."I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah, and i know from Allah which you know not"
~Surah Yusuf C.12| V. 86

Abu Muhammad al-Jamaiki asked the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him),

In these days you have the common folk returning their affairs back to "The well-known major students of knowledge" in matters that should be returned back to the scholars. Is this correct?

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadi (may Allah preserve him) stated,

This is not correct. You must return your affairs to the 'ulama. Return your affairs to the 'ulama, those who know how to extract the meanings and properly determine a situation.

And when there comes to them information about [public] security or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it back to the Messenger or to those of authority among them, then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would have known about it. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have followed Satan, except for a few. [Nisaa: 83]
Not returning your affairs to the proper people is a means that would lead to damaging deficiencies and much harm. Therefore, it is a must that matters be returned back to the 'ulama and not the students of knowledge because they are not equipped to handle the major and big affairs on their own and they try to tackle these things, it would lead to deficiencies."

Then Abu 'Abdis Salaam al-Juyaanee asked the Shaykh,

Is this phrase "The Well-known Major Students of Knowledge" even correct?

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadi al-Madkhalee (may Allah preserve him) stated:

There's no such thing as the major students of knowledge; you have 'ulama and students of knowledge. Return your affairs to the 'ulama.

OH ALLAAH SETTLE OUR DEBT FOR US AND SPARE US FROM POVERTY!

It was narrated that Suhayl said: Abu Saalih used to tell us, when one of us wanted to sleep, to lie down on his right side and say:

_اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنجِيلِ، وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أّنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتهِ. اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ_

Allaahumma Rabbas-samaawaatis-sab'i wa Rabbal-'Arshil-'Adheem, Rabbanaa wa Rabba kulli shay'in, faaliqal-habbi wannawaa, wa munzilat-Tawraati wal-'Injeeli, wal-Furqaani, 'a'oothu bika min sharri kulli shay'in 'Anta 'aakhithun binaasiyatihi. Allaahumma 'Antal-'Awwalu falaysa qablaka shay'un, wa 'Antal-'Aakhiru falaysa ba'daka shay'un, wa 'Antadh-Dhaahiru falaysa fawqaka shay'un, wa 'Antal-Baatinu falaysa doonaka shay'un, iqdhi 'annad-dayna wa 'aghninaa minal-faqri.

_O Allaah! Rabb of the seven heavens and Rabb of the Magnificent Throne. Our Rabb and the Rabb of everything. Splitter of the grain and the date-stone, Revealer of the Torah and the Injeel and the Furqan (the Qur'an), I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything that You shall seize by the forelock. O Allaah! You are the First and nothing has come before you, and You are the Last, and nothing may come after You. You are the Most High, nothing is above You and You are the Most Near and nothing is nearer than You. Remove our debts from us and enrich us against poverty._

He narrated that from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Narrated by Muslim (2713) . . .

STOP messaging the opposite sex under the guise of ‘Dawah’ ❌❌

Advice for all the Muslims especially…
Brothers: who communicate with unrelated women through social media, Facebook, Twitter, What’s App; messenger, text, etc. under the guise of “knowledge and Dawah”.
Sisters: who communicate with incarcerated men, and other unrelated males through social media, Facebook, Twitter, What’s App; messenger, text, etc.
Shaykh Ubayd Al Jabari said

(summary translation):
I would like to bring attention to a dangerous affair which many of the Muslim men and women who ascribe themselves to knowledge fall into. We have dealt with this issue before but many of the people are stubborn and refuse to accept advice. This issue is concerning personal conversations and messaging via the cell phone.
 This affair has entangled many men and women under the pretext of Dawah.
This justification is invalid and distorted.
It is not hidden from any male or female Muslim whose heart is filled with awe and fear of Allah that seclusion with the opposite sex is impermissible. It is not permissible for unrelated men and women to be alone together. (Related meaning her husband and those men she is never able to marry). This affair of messaging the opposite sex is more dangerous than being alone together. If the man and woman are alone together in the home or a car, they may attract the eyes of the people and thus be seen. But when chatting on the internet or messaging on the phone they are hidden in seclusion from everyone except the Creator of the heavens and the earth and the noble Angels who write the deeds of man.
 Many wives complain of their husbands indulging in these conversations and
messages.

I call upon every male Salafi and female Salafi to abandon this evil action which Shaytan opened upon them and beautified it in their hearts while they use the excuse of knowledge, spreading knowledge and Dawah.
 It was not the practice of the Salaf for men and women to meet and study together; rather the woman asks the scholar what she needs to know concerning her religion. Likewise if there is a female scholar she sits with those who come to take knowledge from her from the men and women but she only speaks with the man in the presence of her related guardian from behind a curtain.

Shaykh Uthaymeen said (summary):
It is not permissible for anyone to send a message to an unrelated woman, due to the Fitna involved in this. The person sending the message may assume there is no Fitna involved in this, but Shaytan will stay with him until he tempts him or he tempts her.
 Correspondence between men and women is a great Fitna and great danger which must be avoided even if the person says there is no passion or love
involved.

Shaykh Ferkous said (summary):
 Messaging an unrelated woman and speaking with her even with the excuse of getting to know her or for marriage; is not permissible according to Islam; whether the conversation is through normal means or via the internet, because this opens the door to Fitna. And this leads to instinctive impulses that inspire love which leads to searching for ways to meet one another which leads to dangerous consequences which does not protect the honor or the religion.
http://www.sahab.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=90276

Translator’s words: This also applies to women speaking freely with unrelated students of knowledge or Daee.

Shaykh Jamal Al-Hārithī said in “A Message exclusively to the Muslim Woman”

What’s the difference between the woman who speaks freely with a Shaykh, student of knowledge or a Daee as though he is from her unmarriageable kin, and the woman who speaks with the vendor in the market place? Or are we free from the Fitna which the Prophet peace be upon him warned against in his statement: “I have not left behind me any trial more difficult upon the men than the women.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5096) The Prophet peace be upon him said this to the best generation.
This does not mean the Prophet peace be upon him was accusing his companions of evil thus no scholar or Daee should think we are accusing

them of evil, nor are we accusing the women of evil. But the phone conversation, Paltalk, and messenger is a form of seclusion. And the Prophet peace be upon him said: “There is no man who is secluded with a woman except that the third party is Shaytan” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1171)
