Counting On Your Fingers

Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, “I saw the Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allâh be upon him) counting his praises of his Lord on his right hand.”
[Reported by Tirmidhi]

...The Messenger of Allâh (peace and blessings of Allâh be upon him) said:“Count on your fingers, for they will be asked, and will be made to speak.”
[Haashiyat al-Tahtaawi]

Sh. Ibn Bāz Raḥimahullāh: With a hardship there are 3 affairs;

• Being patient with it - It's obligatory
• Being pleased with it - It's Sunnah
• Being grateful for it - It's most virtuous/best

Shaykh Sulaymaan ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said:

"Anything which busies you from the remembrance of Allah is a fitna (trial, tribulation, test, etc)."

Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Baz said:

❝ The one listening to the Quraan is a participant with the reader in every letter which incurs a good deed,and every good deed is equivalent to ten the like of it. ❞

Sαℓαf Athαr:
Not A Leaf Falls Anywhere In The World Except That Allaah Is Aware

Allaah [سبحانه و تعالى] stated in the Qur’ān:

«...not a leaf falls, but he knows it.» [Surah al-An’aam: 59]

-

Imam al-Qurtuby stated regarding this Ayah:

❝Not a leaf falls except that Allah knows of it, i.e. from the leaves of the trees, [not a single leaf falls] except that Allah knows when it fell, where it fell, and how long it floated in the air [before falling to the ground itself].❞

[Tafsir Imam al-Qurtuby, (8/406) | Translated By Abu Muadh Taqweem Aslam]

-

Imam Ibn Kathir stated regarding the same section of the Ayah:

❝[Allah] knows of [all] movements even from inanimate objects, so what therefore do you think [is Allah’s knowledge] of the animals and especially those whom responsibility is upon and are legally obligated and bound by the Shariah from amongst the humans and jinn.❞

[Tafsir Ibn Kathir, (6/53) | Translated By Abu Muadh Taqweem Aslam]

Stop sitting silent while zoning in on your problems!

Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said: "Staying silent without recitation, nor dhikr nor duaa, is not worship, nor is it ordered for...rather it opens the door for the whispering of the Shaytan.
Therefore keeping busy with dhikr (mentioning Allah) is better than staying silent."

- Al-Fatawa Al-Kubra 2:298...

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him said

“People whose hearts are like the hearts of birds will enter Paradise.”

✒ A Spine-Chilling Narration | The Punishment Of Arrogant Sinners

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إذا رأيت الله يعطي العبد من الدنيا على معاصيه ما يحب فإنما هو استدراج ثم تلا :( فلما نسوا ما ذكروا به فتحنا عليهم أبواب كل شيء حتى إذا فرحوا بما أوتوا أخذناهم بغتة فإذا هم مبلسون )

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “If you see a slave being given by Allāh that which he loves of Dunyā while he persists upon disobedience towards Him, then it is only for him to be lured to (his punishment),

Then he ﷺ recited:
‘So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened to them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows.’ • [al-Qur’ān 6:44].”

A Critique of the Methodology of Anwar Al-Awlaki and his Errors in the Fiqh of JIhad in Light of the Qur’an, Sunnah and Classical to Contemporary Scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah

"Allāh gives the world to those whom He loves and to those whom He does not love, but He gives Īmān only to those whom He loves."

Al-Hilyah, 3/270, Translated by Abú Ruqayyah 'Abd us-Samad. Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr, Juz'20 (Part 20) : An-Naml 56 to Al-Ankaboot 45.

One of the Pious Predecessors (Salaf) said: “If you see Allaah grant blessings to a certain person, and then you see that person continuing in disobedience to Him, then know that this is from Allaah’s plan against him and that he is referred to by Allaah, the most Highs, saying: “We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not. And I respite them; certainly My plot is strong.” (Soorah al-A’raaf (7):182-183).

Shaykh al-‘Uthaymeen Rahimahullah - This was a khutbah given by the Shaykh Rahimahullah on the 12th of Muharram 1411AH which was published in Arabic and translated to English. - Translated by Aboo Talhah Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank.

The Even Plots To Dishonor The Muslim Women, Through Intermingling and Indecent Dress, etc. -

Al-'Allaamah Saalih ibn Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan (Hafidhahullaah):


The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I have not left after me any fitnah (trial, test) more harmful to men then that caused by women

[i.e. women who are not righteous, obedient worshipers of Allaah]. [al-Bukhaaree & Muslim].

And he (ﷺ) said: Observe Taqwaa of Allaah regarding women. The first fitnah (test, trial) of the Children of Israa'eel

was regarding women. [Muslim]

Women are the foundation of the family and society. If they are corrupted, everything will be lost!

For those who sincerely respect the scholars of Sunnah, and especially those of us who always quote the Shaykh (Hafidhahullaah) when he says something that we like,

I ask that we take fifteen minutes of our precious time and LISTEN carefully to this important advice from al-'Allaamah Saalih al-Fawzaan (Hafidhahullaah).

Listen - with an open mind - reflect upon & consider carefully what is being said, then TAKE HEED to this serious warning!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ-OUgv-I5Q

May Allaah, ar-Raheem, shower His Mercy upon us, and open our hearts and minds to that which is coming to us from those whom He has commanded us to listen to, i.e. the Scholars [16:43]...Aameen!

⛔ *You Cannot Please Everyone*

A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullah): ‘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?’*

Prophet Musa (’alayhisalam) said:
🔊‘O my Lord, the people say things about me which are not (i.e. not true)! So Allah revealed to him:

💭 *‘O Musa, I did not make that (privilege) for Myself, so how can I make it the case for you?’*

Malik ibn Dinar:
📣‘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!’*

‘Aisha (radhiallahu anha) wrote to Mu’awiya (radhiallahu anhu):
‘Salamun ‘alayk. Amma ba’d, I have heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say,

_‘Whoever gains the Pleasure of Allah by the anger of the people (i.e. thereby gains their anger), Allah suffices him of the people’s troubles. And whoever gains the pleasure of the people by the Anger of Allah (i.e. in the process he gains His Anger), then Allah leaves him to the people.’ Wa-Salaamu ‘alayk.’_

Imam al-Shafi’i:
📢‘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 Allah azza wa jall!*’ ( – as they love and hate for the Sake of Allah and they are not unjust)
