Allah will Ask Him on The Day of Resurrection - Shaykh Uthaymeen

Oh people! Indeed many of the common people give fatawa to one another without any knowledge. So you find them saying "this is halal, or this is haraam, or this is waajib" etc. And he knows (nothing) about these affairs. Does this man not know that Allah will ask him about what he said on the Day of Resurrection?!

Does he not know that if he misguided an individual – that if he made permissible that which Allah has made haraam or made haraam that which Allah has made halal for the person – then he is the cause for that persons sins.

And does he not know that he will have the like of those sins for those actions which were caused by his fataawa?!

Advice About Being Too Lax When Narrating Hadeeth

⏰ *Hearts Are Always In Need of Reminder Regarding What Allaah Revealed Because An Absence of Reminder Hardens Them*

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

⚙Allaah [The Most High] said:

أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

_Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe [in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism] to be affected by Allah’s Reminder [this Qur’an], and that which has been revealed of the truth, lest they become as those who received the Scripture [the Taura (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before, and the term was prolonged for them *and so their hearts were hardened*? And many of them were Fasiqun [rebellious, disobedient to Allah]_.
📖[Soorah Al-Hadeed: Ayah: 16]

*Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah] said*:

⚡And when it is the case that Eemaan necessitates humility and calls for it, therefore they were called [to move up] from the station of Imaan to the station of Ihsaan; Meaning, _‘’Has the time not come for them to reach Ihsaan through Imaan and actualize that through their submission to Allaah’s Reminder [The Qur’aan], which Allaah sent down to them_.

*Ibn Mas’ood [radiyallaahu-anhu] said*, 
📢‘’There was only four years between our [embracing] Islaam and [the revelation of this] admonition to us.

⚡And regarding the statement of Allaah:

وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

_Lest they become as those who received the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before, and the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened?’’_

*Imaam as-Saa’di [rahimahullaah] said*:

That is:
💥Do NOT become like those to whom Allaah revealed the book, which obligates humility and complete submission on the hearts; but they [i.e. those who received the noscripture] neither preserved [the noscripture] nor were they firm [in holding unto it];

‼rather the term was prolonged for them whilst they continued upon heedlessness, so their Eemaan dwindled and their certainty ceased.

*So, the hearts are always in need of a reminder regarding that which Allaah has revealed and the wisdom behind it.*

It is NOT permissible to be heedless of that, for indeed that is a cause for the hardening of the hearts.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"The one who gave the evil-eye is commanded to say:

اللهم بارك عليه

(Allaahumma baarik alayh – O Allaah send your blessings upon him) for pushing away this malicious condition by making a supplication, which is an act of charity for the one who has been afflicted with the evil-eye. The cure of evil is by doing its opposite."

[Zaad al-Maaad (4/157-158) and also in Tibb al-Nabawee (1/127)]

Some Reasons Why Some Who Know The Truth Still Reject It

Ibn Taimiyyah [رحمه الله] said:

❝A person might know that the truth is [found] with someone else; despite this, he outwardly denies that [truth] due to his envy for him, his wanting to be in a higher position above him, or [his having] desires in [his] soul.❞

[Majmūʿ Al-Fatāwá, (7/191) | Translated By Mikail ibn Mahboob Ariff]

On the authority of Abu Huraira, on the authority of Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] that he said:

❝I order you with three and I prohibit you from three; I order you to worship Allaah and not to associate anyone with Him.

Hold together to the Rope of Allaah and do not separate.

Obey the one whom Allaah places as a ruler over you.

And I prohibit you from gossip, asking too many questions and wasting wealth.❞

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Shaykh Al-Albaani, (No. 685) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

The danger of speaking without knowledge.

‎صحبت عبد الله ابن عمر – رضي الله عنه – أربعة و ثلاثين شهراً فكثيرا ما كان يُسأل فيقول : لا أدري ، ثم يلتفت إليَّ فيقول : تدري ما يريد هؤلاء ، يريدون أن يجعلوا ظهورنا جسراً لهم إلى جهنم

’Uqbah bin Muslim said: For 34 years I kept Ibn ’Umar’s company and he used to often say ”I don’t know” (when he was asked about anything).

Whereupon he would turn towards me and say: ”Do you know what these people want? They want to make our backs bridges into the Hellfire (by speaking about Islam without knowledge)!

Source: Jami’ Bayan al-‘Ilm wa Fadlihi by Ibn Abd’ul Barr (v. 2, p. 841)

Retweeted Abu Aaliyah Abdullah (@LamontBattle):

“The people of misguidance follow a religion which doesn’t agree with revelation and are ignorant about Islam. They follow from their desires whichever serves them best irrespective of knowledge and the Shariah.”
Ibn Taymiyyah (قاعدة عظيمة/26)

IMMERSING ONESELF INTO THE STUDY OF AHADEETH

“Those who busy themselves with the ahadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, it is as though they are living with him.”

~ Shaykh Naasir ul-Deen al-Baani رحمه الله

[Silsilatul Hudaa wal Noor, p. 203]

Changing evil by one’s hand:

⚪ Allaah has described the believers as denouncing evil and as enjoining what is good. He says (interpretation of the meaning): “The believers, men and women, are Awliyaa’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they enjoin (on the people) Al‑Ma‘roof (i.e.Islamic Monotheism and allthat Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al‑Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief ofall kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden)”[al-Tawbah 9:71]

⚪ “Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and allthat Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism anddisbelief and all that Islam has forbidden)”[Aal ‘Imraan 3:104]

⚪ Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart [by at least hating it and believing that it is wrong], and that is the weakest of faith.” Narrated by Muslim in hisSaheeh.

☑ Changing evil by one's hand should be done by those who are able to do that, such as those in positions of authority and the bodies in charge of such matters in the areas over which they have been appointed, the ruler in the area over which he has been appointed, the judge in the area over which he has been appointed, and by a man in his own house with his children and the members of his household, as much as he can.
But if he is not able to do that, or if changing it with his hand will lead to fitnah (tribulation) and conflict, and cause more harm than good, then he should not change it with his hand, rather he should change it with his tongue, by speaking out. That will be sufficient lest changing it with his hand will lead to a worse evil that that which he is seeking to change. This was stated by the scholars.
☑ In the case of changing evil with his tongue, it is sufficient for him to say, “O my brother, fear Allaah, this is not permitted, you should stop this, you should do such and such” and other good words spoken in a proper manner.
☑ After the tongue comes the heart, i.e., hating the evil in one's heart, showing that one hates it, and not sitting with those who do it. All of these come under the heading of changing it with one's heart. And Allaah is the Source of strength.

[From the fatwas of Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Majallat al-Buhooth al-Islamiyyah, 36/121-122]

SAYING SO & SO IS LUCKY

Question:

We hear a lot that so and so is lucky and that so and so has bad luck. What is the extent of the permissibility of having Eemaan in luck from not believing in it?

The Answer:

‘It is upon a person to believe in the Qada of Allaah and His Qadr[1], so he is patient with hardship and grateful to Allaah and praises Him in prosperity, it is upon a person to believe that Allaah disseminated Rizq (provisions) amongst His slaves, and Allaah made a distinction between them in their appointed times and their actions, while they were fetuses in their mothers’ wombs, and Allaah has a wisdom in that what He commands and destines.

It is upon every Muslim to ascribe to Allaah -Subhanahu- blessings and the abundant (Rizq) provision which the creation is trialed with.

It afflicts superiority with destiny and being successful for it, and ascribe what afflicts him what is excluded from that to the Qada of Allaah and his Qadr, and this is from implementing of Tawheed Ruboobeeyah, and it is obligatory for a Muslim to distance himself from what defames his Aqeedah and his Tawheed, so goodness, blessings or relief from afflictions and punishment are not ascribed to luck and lucky stars indeed that is not allowed.

Success is with Allaah, may Allaah send praise & peace upon our prophet Muhammad, upon his family and his Companions.

[From ‘Fatawa Lajna Da’ima’ Vol. 26 p.369]

[1] A Definition of al-Qadr and al-Qadaa’

‘Al-Qadr is the ‘ability of Allaah’ where He knew, wrote, willed and created all things in due proportion before and according to a precise measure. Allaah knew all that will happen before bringing it to existence and according to predestined proportions and measures which Allaah had written in a Book called al-Lowhal Mahfoodh (The Preserved Tablet).

Al-Qadaa’ is the perfectly precise execution and accomplishment of all things predestined to occur exactly in accordance with Allaah’s previous knowledge, Writing and Will.’
