Abandoning learning Arabic is a reason for becoming corrupt/deviated

🔖 A Mother’s Dua'
•══════════❁✿❁══════════•
Imam al-Bukhari's mother used to worship and make Dua' a lot. Allaah honoured her and her son remarkably.
Her son Muhammad [Bukhari] lost his eye sight when he was young and his mother saw Ibraheem al-Khaleel (the Prophet) in a dream and he said to her:
"O you, indeed Allaah has returned the eyesight of your son due to your supplicating a lot.’
In the morning Allaah had returned his eyesight."

Why is the Prophet's grave located in his mosque even though it is forbidden to take graves as places of worship?
[Answer by Sheikh Ibn baz & Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen May Allah have mercy upon them]
📚 1- Sheikh Ibn Baz رحمه الله said:
There is a specious argument put forward by those who worship graves, namely the fact that the grave of the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) is in his mosque. The answer to that is that the Sahaabah (companions) did not bury him in his mosque, rather they buried him in the house of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). When al-Waleed ibn ‘Abd al-Malik expanded the Mosque of the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) at the end of the first century, he incorporated the room into the mosque, but he did wrong thereby, and some of the scholars denounced him for that, but he believed that there was nothing wrong with it for the sake of expanding the mosque.
It is not permissible for a Muslim to take that as evidence that mosques may be built over graves, or that people may be buried inside mosques, because that goes against the saheeh ahaadeeth, and because it is a means that may lead to shirk by associating the occupants of the graves in worship with Allaah. End quote.
[Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 5/388, 389.]
📚 2 – Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on praying in a mosque in which there is a grave.
He replied:
Praying in a mosque in which there is a grave falls into two categories:
(i) Either the grave was there before the mosque, and the mosque was built over the grave. It is essential to shun this mosque and not pray therein, and the one who built it must knock it down; if he does not do so, then the Muslim authorities must knock it down.
(ii) Or the mosque was there before the grave, and the deceased was buried after the mosque was built. In the case the grave must be dug up, and the remains taken out and buried with the people (in the graveyard).
As for praying in such a mosque, it is permissible so long as the grave is not in front of the worshipper, because the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade praying in the direction of graves.
With regard to the grave of the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) which is incorporated into his mosque, it is well known that the Mosque of the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) was built before his death, and was not built over his grave. It is also well known that the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) was not buried in the mosque, rather he was buried in his house which was separate from the mosque. At the time of al-Waleed ibn ‘Abd al-Malik he wrote to his governor in Madeenah, who was ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez, in 88 AH, ordering him to dismantle the Prophet’s Mosque and add to it the rooms of the wives of the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam). ‘Umar gathered the prominent people and fuqaha’, and read the letter of the caliph al-Waleed to them. That caused them distress, and they said: “Leave it as it is, that is better.” And it was narrated that Sa’eed ibn al-Musayyib denounced the incorporation of ‘Aa’ishah’s room into the mosque, as if he feared that the grave would be taken as a place of worship.
Umar wrote a letter to that effect to al-Waleed, and al-Waleed sent word to him ordering him to carry out his instructions, so ‘Umar had no other choice. So you see that the grave of the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) was not placed in the mosque, and the mosque was not built over it, so there are no grounds for those who try to quote this as evidence that people may be buried inside mosques or that mosques may be built over graves.
It is proven that the Prophet (Salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“May the curse of Allaah be upon the Jews and the Christians; they have taken the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.”
He said that as he was dying, as a warning to his ummah against doing what they did. When Umm Salamah told him of a church that she had seen in Ethiopia and the images therein, he said

“Among the most evil of people upon whom the Hour will come when they are still alive are those who take graves as places of worship.” Narrated by Imam Ahmad with a jayyid isnaad.
The believer should not accept to follow the ways of the Jews and the Christians, or to be among the most evil of people.

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took my hand and said: “Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, created the earth on Saturday, and He created the mountains on Sunday. He created the trees on Monday, He created disliked (bad) things on Tuesday, He created light on Wednesday, He scattered the animals in it on Thursday, and He created Adam (peace be upon him) after ‘Asr on Friday, the last of creation in the last hour of Friday, between ‘Asr and nightfall.”
📚 Sahih Muslim (2789).
🎓 Shaykh al-Albaani ﺭﺣﻤﻪﺍﻟﻠﻪ said,
"It is not contrary to the Qur’an in any way whatsoever, in contrast to what some people may think. The hadith explains how things were created on the face of the earth, and that that happened in seven days. The statement of the Qur’an, that the creation of the heavens and the earth occurred in six days, is not contrary to that, because it is possible that these six days were something other than the seven days mentioned in the hadith.
It – I mean the hadith – is speaking of one stage in the development of creation on the face of the earth, until it became fit for habitation. This is supported by the fact that the Qur’an states that some days with Allah, may He be exalted, are as a thousand years, and some are as fifty thousand. So why shouldn’t these six days be like that? And the seven days could be like the days that we know, as the hadith clearly states. In that case there is no contradiction between this hadith and the Qur’an."

Purification of the soul: Duā

Anas radiAllahu anhu narrated that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah! When a man among us meets his brother or his friend should he bow to him?" He said: "No."
He said: "Should he embrace him and kiss him?" He said: "No." He said: "Should he take his hand and shake it?" He said: "Yes."

Sheikh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz rahimahullah mentioned:
The sitting after the taslim in the prescribed prayers is from the most important times, in which the mercy of Allah descends (upon his
slaves).
Do not hastily get up, rather seek forgiveness from Allah, glorify Him, praise Him, and magnify Him.
Ibn Baṭṭal raḥimahullah said:
"Whoever has many sins and desires that Allah remove these sins from him without burdening himself, then let him seize this opportunity and remain seated in his place after the prayer, so that he may take advantage of the supplications from the Angels and their asking
forgiveness for him."

Ibn ‘Aqeel al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy on him) said of himself:
It is not permissible for me to waste an hour of my life. When I stop discussing issues of knowledge and debating them (with others) and when I stop reading in a book, I would start pondering and thinking when I am resting and lying down, and before I get up, I will have already an idea that I should write down and I am very keen to increase my knowledge now I am in my eighties and more keen than when I was twenty years old.
Quoted from him by Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Muntazam, 9/214
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man’s time is in fact his life, and his eternal life, whether it is eternal bliss or eternal suffering, is based on how he spent it. Time is passing quickly; whatever time he spends for the sake of Allah and by the help of Allah, this is his true life; any other time is not counted as part of his life, even if he spends it doing what animals do. So if he spends his time in heedlessness, idle entertainment and false wishes, and the best of what he spends his time in is sleep and idleness, then his death is better than his life.

Shaikh Muqbil: *How Is the Head to Be Cut Off from a Picture*
SHAYKH MUQBIL IBN HADI AL-WADI‘I
CATEGORIZED UNDER: FATAWA AND RULINGS
●Question:
The hadith: “The [prohibited] image is only the head, so when the head has been cut off, there is no [remaining prohibition in the] image.”
So how is the cutting of the image to be done
●Answer:
The blotting out [of the picture] comes about as in the [authentic] hadith: that it take the form of a tree, [that] it not be like an image of a person.
So one blots it out and draws lines on it until it takes the form of a tree.
