Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrated that I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم saying: 'I am the closest of the people to 'Esa bin Mariam, in this world and in the Hereafter.' They said: 'How is that, O Messenger of Allah?' He صلى الله عليه و سلم said: 'The Prophets are brothers; their mothers are different but their religion is one, and there is no Prophet between us.' "

“Beware of the sinful scholar (al-ʿālim al-fāsiq).” This reached ʿUmar, so he wrote to him in fear, “Who is the sinful scholar?” He wrote back, “I did not intend but good; this is when there is an imām (leader, taken as an example) who speaks knowledge, but practices sins, confusing the people, and thus they go astray.”

▪️ *All of Allaah’s Names are Beautiful* ▪️
Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala said:
وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ فَٱدۡعُوهُ بِهَاۖ وَذَرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلۡحِدُونَ فِيٓ أَسۡمَٰٓئِهِۦۚ سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٨٠
<And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.> [Al-Aa’araf:180]
Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala said:
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ لَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٨
<Allah! La ilahla illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)! To Him belong the Best Names.> [Taha: 8]
Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala said:
هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُ ٱلۡبَارِئُ ٱلۡمُصَوِّرُۖ لَهُ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٢٤
<He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names . All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.> [Hashr: 24]
The different types of ilhaad (To belie or deny or utter impious speech against) of Allaah’s Asmaa (Names) and Sifaat (Characteristics)
Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- talks about the different types:
▪️ *‘The first type:*
Is when the people call their idols with Allaah’s names, like when they call al-Laat from the word al-ilaheeya (a deity), and al-Uzza from the name al-Aziz.
▪️ *The second type:*
Calling Allaah with names, which are not befitting His Majesty, like the Christians name Him: father. And the philosophers name Him the one who has no intent or choice, or they call Him the one who creates without intent etc.
▪️ *The third type:*
Describing Him with something which He is free, High and Holy from deficiencies. Like the saying of the filthiest of the Jews: that Allaah is poor, and their saying that He rested after having created His creation. And then they say Allaah’s Hand is tied up, and other examples, which are Ilhaad (rejection, belittling) of Allaah’s Asma wa Sifaat.
▪️ *The fourth type:*
Cancelling the meanings of the names of Allaah and rejecting their reality, like the saying of those who say from the Jahmeeyah and their followers: the names of Allaah are just purely words they do not include Sifaat (characteristics) or meanings.
▪️ *The fifth type:*
Resembling the Sifaat of Allaah with the Sifaat of His creation, Allaah is very high above and Great from what those who claim He has a resemblance with His creation.’

Also would like to add for a grieving heart or illness try eating Talbina for breakfast. It is a sunnah and following the sunnah in itself is the biggest blessing, Insha'allah.
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated, "If any of the Messenger's (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) family became ill, the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) would say, 'It soothes the grieving heart and cleanses the ailing heart just as one of you cleans dirt off his face with water.' " [Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah (3445), hadeeth hasan].
Barley, honey, and milk are all foods of the sunnah and hold their own healing properties. Talbina combines all three ingredients together to create a super food! It lowers cholesterol and strengthens the heart; protects from cancer, alzheimer, and depression; controls blood sugar levels, Type 2 Diabetes, mellitus and hypertension, all without side effects. Try getting that with modern medicine!
Ingredients:
1. 100% whole grain barley flour or grind pearled barley beforehand to a flour like consistency
2. Milk
3. Honey
STEP 1. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of barley flour into 1-2 cups of milk
STEP 2. Stir on low heat for about 10-15 minutes or until a porridge-like consistency is reached.
STEP 3. Sweeten with honey to your liking.

Hadeeth: "Allaah may help this Deen even with a wicked person"
What people fail to understand is that the person might be a source of benefit for thousands of others but not for himself:
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: We were in the company of Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ in a Ghazwa, and he remarked about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, saying: ❝This (man) is from the people of the (Hell) Fire.❞
When the battle started, the man fought violently till he got wounded. Somebody said: O Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ! The man whom you described as being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought bravely today and died.
The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝He will go to the (Hell) Fire.❞
Some people were on the point of doubting (the truth of what the Prophet had said). While they were in this state, suddenly someone said that he was still alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost patience and committed suicide (in one narration it is: he put his hand into his quiver and took out some arrows, with which he killed himself). The Prophet ﷺ was informed of that.
And he ﷺ said: ❝Allaah is the Greatest! I testify that I am Allaah’s Slave and His Apostle.❞ Then he ordered Bilal to announce amongst the people: ❝None will enter Paradise but a Muslim, AND ALLAAH MAY SUPPORT THIS RELIGION (i.e. ISLAAM) EVEN WITH A WICKED (DISOBEDIENT) MAN.❞
[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (3062, 4203, 6606) and Saheeh Muslim (205)]

TAKING ONESELF TO ACCOUNT REGARDING LOVE OF PRAISE AND SELF-AMAZEMENT!
💮💮💮💮💮
Imaam Sufyaan Ath’Thawree (rahimahullaah) said: Beware of what corrupts your deeds, for indeed Riyaa is what corrupts your deeds. And if it is not Riyaa, then it may be you being amazed with yourself until it makes you think that you are more virtuous than your brother. It may be that you have not achieved deeds the likes of which he has achieved, and it may be that he has more Wara [apprehensive fear(Ref:1)] and righteous deeds than you.
And if it is not self-amazement, then beware of loving the praise of the people-loving their praise so that they may honour you due to your deeds and see you as someone of nobility and high status in their hearts. Remembering death a lot is enough to make you have less concern for the things of the worldly life and make you have a fervent desire for the afterlife. A prolonged hope (for the things of this worldly life) is enough as a (means) to having little fear of (Allaah) and committing acts of disobedience, and the distress and regret on the Day of Judgment is enough for the one who knows but does not act.
