Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said:

"The one who recites the Qur'an aloud is like the one who gives charity publicly, and the one who recites the Qur'an quietly is like the one who gives charity secretly."

[At - Tirmidhi 2919]

Aboo Hurayrah: ”It is more beloved for me to sit a little while, learning my religion, than for me to pray the entire night up until dawn” [Jaami'ul Bayaan al-'ilm wa fadhlihi volume 1. page 60]

Hasan al-Basree: ”The scholar is better than the one who is Zaahid (very religious) and worships a lot” [Jaami'ul Bayaan al-'ilm wa fadhlihi volume 1. page 61]

Sufyaan ath-Thawree: ”There is no deed better than seeking knowledge – if the intentions are pure” [Jaami'ul Bayaan al-'ilm wa fadhlihi volume 1. page 63]

al-Azdi: ”I asked Ibn ‘Abbaas about Jihaad whereupon he replied ‘Do you wish to know something better than Jihaad? Build a Masjid and teach the people their obligations in Islaam and the Sunnah’ “‘ [Jaami'ul Bayaan al-'ilm wa fadhlihi volume 1 page 76]

Umar bin ‘AbdilAzeez: ”He who acts without knowledge, causes more harm than benefit” [Jaami'ul Bayaan al-'ilm wa fadhlihi volume 1 page 66]

Abdullah bin al-Mubaarak: ”Allaah gave Prophet Suleymaan a choice between either knowledge or power, and he chose knowledge above power. And because he did that Allaah granted him power as well.” [Jaami'ul Bayaan al-'ilm wa fadhlihi volume 1 page 114]

Luqmaan al-Hakeem: ”O my dear son, seek knowledge whilst you are still young, seeking knowledge at an old age is difficult” [Jaami'ul Bayaan al-'ilm wa fadhlihi volume 1 page 174]

Sufyān Ibn Uyaynah رحمه الله said: "He whose sin is due to desires, then have hope for him. And he whose son is due to pride, then fear for him, because Adam disobeyed due to desire and was forgiven, while Iblīs sinned due to pride and was cursed."

📌Hold on to it and take care of the Qur’an. Revise it.

▪️Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "Keep on reciting the Qur'an, for, by Him in Whose
Hand my life is, Qur'an runs away (is forgotten) faster than camels that are released from their tying ropes.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5033)

▪️Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "The example of the person who knows the Qur'an by heart is like the owner of tied camels. If he keeps them tied, he will control them, but if he releases
them, they will run away.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5031)

Mu'ādh ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه said:
“The inhabitants of Paradise will have no regrets except the time they had not spent remembering Allāh the Almighty the Majestic (in the Dunyah).”
Al-Wābil as Sayyeb | Page 59 | ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله

Al-Allāmah Munāwee رحمه الله explains this regret will be on the Day of Ressurection and not in Paradise. When a person’s actions/deeds will be presented before him and he will realise how much time he had spent unmindful of Allāh the Almighty the Majestic, he will have this regret, despite being from those who will enter Paradise.

‼️DON'T GET BOGGED DOWN ABOUT PEOPLE'S PAST‼️

🎓Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [رحمه الله] said:

❝You should not look at what the person used to do, rather you should look at what kind of person they are today. The one who gets bogged down about people's pasts, is just like Iblees who said to Allaah, 'You created me from fire and you created him from clay.'❞

📚 [al-Minhaaj, (2/430)]

- Imam Al-Shafi'ee said: "I left behind in Iraq something called 'Taghbeer'; it was started by the heretics; they turn away people from the Qur'an with it."
[Narrated by Ibn Abi Hatim (d. 327) in "Aadab al-Shafi'ee" (pg.235)]

Ibn Taimiyyah mentions that "Taghbeer" was melodious recitation of poems about asceticism accompanied with beating sticks on pads of leather to create a rhythm.

- Imam Ahmed disliked it and forbade from listening to it. He said: "It is an innovation and a Bid'ah"
[Al-Furoo' 8/378; Al-Insaf: 21/356 ]

What would the two Imams said if they heard the rap and beat-boxing done today in the name of Da'wah?

Ibn ul-Jawzi (d. 597) said: "When Iblees saw that religious people do not listen to musical instruments, he incorporated music's gist and essence into singing done without music and made this appealing to them. Thus he gradually leads them (into his trap) step by step."
[Paraphrased from "Talbees Ibless"]

THE EVIL OF PROBING INTO THE PRIVATE AFFAIRS OF OTHERS

Aboo Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him said), the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“If a man were to look into your private affairs without your permission, and you were to throw a pebble at him and put out his eye, there would be no sin on you.”

(Al-Bukhaari, 6902; Muslim, 2158.)

Ibn Hajar رحمه الله said, commenting on this hadeeth:

"It is narrated by Muslim with a different isnaad from Aboo Hurayrah:

“Whoever looks into some people’s house without their permission, it is permissible for them to put out his eye.”

There is a soul within a person, without which he will not be alive...- Ibn Uthaymeen

There is a soul within a person, without which he will not be alive. Had it not been that a soul was inside his body, he would not have been alive.

And he will not be able to describe the soul if it were said to him: ‘’what is this soul in connection to yourself; why is it that you become a corpse when it is removed from you and when it remains you are a human being (able) to reason, understand and perceive? He would have sat, reflect and contemplate and will never be able to describe it; even though it is close to him and by his side, he will be unable to perceive it. Therefore, how can he attempt to describe The Lord (Allaah) with an affair that He (Allaah) has not described Himself with!?

✒ The Dead Children Of Muslims Are In Jannah

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : أطفال المؤمنين في جبل في الجنة يكفلهم إبراهيم وسارة حتى يردهم إلى آبائهم يوم القيامة

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said:

“The children of believers are on a mountain in Paradise, being taken care of by (Prophet) Ibrāheem and (his wife) Sārah (Peace be upon them) until they are returned back to their fathers (or parents) on the Day of Resurrection.”

● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير ١٠٢٣ ، صححه الألباني

Mukhtaṣar Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmi' aṣ-Ṣagheer no. 1023, declared 'Authentic' by al-Albānī]

Translated By: Sameeullaah Sameeullaah (Aboo Maryamm)

#Benefit: You Cannot Please Everyone...⬇

A man said to al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī (raḥimahullāh):
‘The people sit around you so that they may find fault with you!’ So he said, ‘Indeed, I encouraged my soul to aspire for Paradise so it aspired for it. Then I encouraged it to aspire for salvation from Hellfire and so it aspired for it. Then I encouraged it to aspire for salvation from the people, but I didn’t find a way to that. Indeed, the people were not pleased with their Creator although He provides for them, so how can they be pleased with another creation like themselves?’ 1

Prophet Mūsá (ʿalayhisalām) said: ‘O my Lord, the people say things about me which are not (i.e. not true)! So Allāh revealed to him: ‘O Mūsá, I did not make that (privilege) for Myself, so how can I make it the case for you?’ 2

Mālik ibn Dinār: ‘Since I have known (the reality of) people, I have not taken delight in their praise nor have I hated their criticism.’ It was said to him, ‘Why is that?’ He said, ‘The one who praises from amongst them is excessive and the critic from amongst them exaggerates!" 3

‘Āʿishah (raḍī Allāhu ʿanha) wrote to Mu’awiya (raḍī Allāhu ʿʿʿanhu): ‘Salamun ʿalayk. Amma baʿd, I have heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say, ‘Whoever gains the Pleasure of Allāh by the anger of the people (i.e. thereby gains their anger), Allāh suffices him of the people’s troubles. And whoever gains the pleasure of the people by the Anger of Allāh (i.e. in the process he gains His Anger), then Allāh leaves him to the people.’ Wa-Salāmu ʿalayk.’ 4

Imam al-Shāfiʿī: ‘There is nobody except that he has someone who loves him and someone who hates him. So if that’s the case, let a person be with the people who are obedient to Allāh `azza wa jall!’ (as they love and hate for the Sake of Allāh and they are not unjust). 5

💥 Why we need to stress more and more on learning the Correct Aqeedah:

In the Hadeeth it is mentioned that the very first question that will be asked in the grave will be: “Who is your Lord?”

The believer will reply: “Allaah is my Lord.”

And as for the disbeliever, he will be in the state of shock and will say: “Hah! Hah! I don’t know.”

So, the believer will be able to answer the question, but not the disbeliever.

🌴🌴🌴

Now contemplate on this: among the disbelievers there is a large number of Arab Christians – those who pronounce the name of their Lord as “Allaah” in the same way as the Muslims do. And the same name is used over and over again in their Arabic Bible. Furthermore, they also say: “Alhamdulillaah”.

So then, why won’t they be able to answer the question?!

🌴🌴🌴

It is well known that the "God" which they refer to as Allaah, they also ascribe many deficiencies to Him as well. Part of their belief is that “God” gets tired, “God” begets a son, “God” makes mistakes and regrets, “God” is weak, and “God” can die and so on.

🌴🌴🌴

This is why in the Qur’aan Allaah تعالى negated all this and freed Himself of all the deficiencies that were/are ascribed to Him. He تعالى mentioned that He does not get tired, He does not sleep, He does not beget nor is He begotten, He does not forget, He does not oppress, He does not break His promise, He does not deceive, He is the ever living and does not die, and so on.

🌴🌴🌴

So, merely knowing Allaah by His Name is not sufficient. We have to know Him the way He تعالى has described Himself – we have to affirm for Him what He تعالى has affirmed for Himself in His Book and through His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم; and we have to negate for Him what He تعالى has negated for Himself in His Book and through His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم.

After knowing all this, we have to convert our knowledge into action by Worshiping Him Alone, without associating any partners with Him in His worship. And these acts of worship should be upon the Sunnah (teachings) of the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم. ONLY THEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS IN THE GRAVE.

🌴🌴🌴

And this is a clear warning to those deviants (the Jahmies, the Asharees, the Sufees and their likes) who ascribe deficiencies to Allaah – those who DENY that which Allaah تعالى has affirmed for Himself, like denying the Face, the Hand, the Sight, the Hearing, the Speech. These deviants have trodden the path of the Christians in ascribing deficiencies to Allaah. As the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had mentioned that people from this Ummah will follow and emulate the Jews and Christians – inch by inch and step by step.

🌴🌴🌴

As for Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaaah, when they hear the Names and Attributes, they simply believe in them the way it befits His Majesty:
a) without Takyyeef (without describing the HOW of it),
b) without Tamtheel (without equating them with the creation),
c) without Tashbeeh (without comparing them with the creation),
d) without Tateel (without denying them),
e) and without Tahreef (without changing their meaning).

💢💢💢

May Allaah guide us and keep us firm upon the Deen.

Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:

‘There are types of medicines which can treat illnesses which the minds of the senior doctors cannot comprehend, and that which their sciences, experiences and measurements cannot reach. These are the medicines of the heart and soul, and the strength of the heart, its dependence upon Allaah and trust upon Him and seeking refuge in Him. Prostrating and feeling in dire need of Allaah and humbling oneself for Allaah. Likewise giving Sadaqah (charity), making Dua’, repentance and seeking forgiveness, being good to the creation, aiding the distressed and liberating from grief and unhappiness.

Indeed these types of medication have been used by various nations, who are upon different religions and communities, and they found that they had an effect in the treatment of illnesses, which even the sciences of the most knowledgeable doctors could not reach, and they have no experience nor measurement of it. We have indeed experienced these matters a great deal and as others have, and we have seen what ordinary medicine can and cannot do.’

[Taken from: ‘Zad al-Ma’ad’ 4/11-12]

Sh. Ibn Uthaymeen said: "It is not possible that humans in this world will always remain happy, rather one day he is happy and one day he is sad."

‎● [شرح رياض الصالحين ٢٤٣/١]

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) said:

"Whoever relies upon other than Allaah, he will be dealt with, with the opposite of what he was seeking. He will be given the opposite of what he is seeking."

[Taken from Moosa Richardson's Kitab at Tawheed Classes with the Explanation of Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Chapter 6]

Sh. Ibn al-'Uthaymeen:
“Whenever you will fear Allāh then trust that He will make a way out for you from every hardship.”
