Statements from the salaf regarding ahlul bidah

Ibn Abbaas (d. 68H) said: "Indeed the most detestable of things to Allaah are the innovations." Reported by al-Bayhaqee in as-Sunan al-Kubraa (4/316)

Ibn Umar (d. 84H) said: "Every innovation is misguidance, even if the people see it as something good." Reported by Abu Shaamah (no. 39)

Sufyaan ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said:"Innovation is more beloved to Iblees than sin, since a sin may be repented from but innovation is not repented from." Reported by al-Laalikaa'ee (no. 238)

Al-Fudayl bin 'Iyaad (d. 187H) said: "I met the best of people, all of them people of the Sunnah and they used to forbid from accompanying the people of innovation." Reported by al-Laalikaa'ee (no.267)

Al-Hasan al-Basree (d. 110H) said: "Do not sit with the people of innovation and desires, nor argue with them, nor listen to them." Reported by ad-Daarimee in his Sunan (1/121)

Ibraaheem bin Maysarah (d.132H) said: "Whoever honours an innovator has aided in the destruction of Islam." Reported by al-Laalikaa'ee (1/139).

Sufyaan ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said: "Whoever listens to an innovator has left the protection of Allaah and is entrusted with the innovation." Reported by Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilyah (7/26) and Ibn Battah (no.444).

Imaam Maalik (d. 179H) said: "How evil are the people of innovation, we do no give them salaam." Reported by al-Baghawee in Sharh us-Sunnah (1/234).

Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee (d. 204H) said: "That a person meets Allaah with every sin except Shirk is better than meeting Him upon any one of the innovated beliefs." Reported by al-Bayhaqee in al-I'tiqaad (p.158)

Al-Fudayl bin 'Iyaad (d. 187H) said: "Whoever sits with a person of innovation, then beware of him and whoever sits with a person of innovation has not been given wisdom. I love that there was fort of iron between me and a person of innovation. That I eat with a Jew and a Christian is more beloved to me than that I eat with a person of innovation." Reported by al-Laalikaa'ee (no.1149)

Al-Layth bin Sa'd (d. 175H) said: "If I saw a person of desires (i.e. innovations) walking upon the water I would not accept from him." So Imaam as-Shaafi'ee then said: "He (al-Layth) has fallen short. If I saw him walking in the air I would not accept from him." Reported by as-Suyooti in al-Amr bil 'Ittibaa wan-Nahee anil Ibtidaa'.

Al-Fudayl bin 'Iyaad said: "If a man comes to a person to consult him and he directs him to an innovator, then he has made a deception of Islaam. Beware of going to a person of innovation for they divert [people] from the truth." Sharh Usool ul-I'tiqaad of al-Laalikaa'ee

Testing Individuals with the Modern Day Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah

Shaykh Jamaal Ibn Furayhaan al-Haarithee said,
“And we say today without any hesitation: When you see a man loving and praising Ibn Baaz (d.1420H) and al-Albaanee (d.1420H) and al-’Uthaymeen (d.1421H) and al-Fawzaan and al-Luhaydaan and Amaan al-Jaamee (d.1417H) and Rabee’ al-Madkhalee and al-Waadi’ee (d.1421H) and an-Najmee (d.1429H) and Zayd al-Madkhalee and al-Burjiss (d.1425H) and ’Abdul-’Azeez aalush-Shaykh and Saalih aalush-Shaykh and their likes, then know that he is a person of the Sunnah, if Allaah so wills. And when you see someone who differentiates between this and that, from those whom we have mentioned, then know that he is not upon the path. And Allaah knows best.”

WEARING COLOURED OR EMBROIDERED ABAYAS
HOME / CLOTHING / WEARING COLOURED OR EMBROIDERED ABAYAS
Question:
What is the ruling on wearing coloured and embroidered abayas? Should the abayas start from the head instead of the shoulder? This type of head abaya is not common in India and I might draw attention by wearing it. Should I discard all my coloured and embroidered abayas and buy plain black ones? Jaazak Allahu khayran.

Zaynab El-Kateb:
You can wear a colored Abaya if it is one color but not mixed colors for zeina. Abayas that are embroidered are Zeina (beautification), so you should not wear them in front of non mahram.

Dhikr brings peace and tranquility.

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah [D.751 A.H.] [رحمه الله] said:

❝From the means of ease and delight for the heart, is: continuous remembrance of Allaah in all circumstances, and in every place. Dhikr has an amazing effect in giving ease to the heart, and pleasure to the heart. Negligence has a strange effect on making the heart constrained, imprisoning it and punishing it.❞

[Zaad al-Ma’ad By Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, (2/25)]

There is not a sufficient reason to support THE WORLD HIJAB DAY,it is a BIDAH AND ALSO HARAAM to celebrate it,in Islam we only have two celebrations, EIDUL FITRI and EIDUL HADHA,that what is legislated in the QUR'AN and SUNNAH,that what the SALAF AS SOLIH (righteous predecessors) where upon.
Let's stop all this drama to share how many years we have taking hijab for,we are doing it for the sake of Allah,some have put it for over 15yrs but still can't covered them selves how the Quran and Sunnah explained it.
What's all that for sisters,our purpose for putting the hijab is not to be recommended by people,for the believers their reward is from Allah.
Allah said But the Messenger and those who believed with him strove hard and fought with their wealth and their lives. Such are they for whom are the good things, and it is they who will be successful
[Quran 9-88]
Sisters WALAHI if we leave the QURAN AND SUNNAH as understood by our SALAF-US SOLIH,we would never be succeed in this deen (religion)
It was narrated from Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

"Whoever wants to follow an example, let them follow the example of those who have passed away, for those who are living are not safe from fitnah (temptation). They are the sahabah (companions) of muhammad. They are the best of this ummah, the purest in heart, the deepest in knowledge, and the farthest from false display of piety. They are the people whom Allah chose to be the companions of his prophet and to convey his religion. So acknowledge their superiority and imitate their way and behavior, for they were following the straight path."

(Ibn 'Abdul-Bar, Jami' Bayan Al-'Ilm wa Fadlihi, Chapter on undesirable debate, dispute, and argument, vol. 2, p. 947, no. 1810, (verified by Al-Zuhayry); and Abu Isma'il Al-Harawy, Dham Al-Kalam wa Ahlihi, vol. 4, p. 38, no. 758, verified by 'Abdullah Al-Ansary. Related by Abu Nu'aym in Al-Hilyah' from 'Abdullah ibn

Fu’aad Ibn ‘Abdul-‘azeez ash-Shulhoob ( رحمه الله ) said:

"When two people eat together, they develop a sense of love and friendship for one another, and a person should limit those feelings to those who are righteous."

{The Book of Manners, pg.425}

⚠ Haani (the freed slave) of Uthmaan (Radhi'Allāahu Anhu) said:

“Whenever ‘Uthmaan (Radhi'Allāahu Anhu) used to stand over a grave, his beard would become wet from tears.” [Al-Hilyah, 1/61]

Maalik Ibn Deenar said: “By Allaah, if it was possible for me not to sleep, I would not sleep out of fear that the punishment would descend and I am asleep. By Allaah, if I had some helpers, I would spread them out among the Dunyaa and give them orders to cry out to the people, ‘O mankind, the Fire! The Fire! (Reminding them of Jahannum)

[Al-Ihyaa, 4/567]

Ibn Taymiyah رحمه الله:

"The surah of Al-Ikhlaas, even though it contains few words it is equivalent to a ⅓ of the Qur'an, because it contains tawheed and with this it becomes known that the verses containing tawheed are better than other verses."

Imām Shafi'ī رحمة ألله said,

“My silence towards the idiot is indeed an answer. I am not at a loss for a response but rather, it doesn’t befit the lion to answer the dogs.”

*[Dīwān of Imām Shafi'ī رحمة ألله (p. 43)]*

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessing upon Him) said:

"The evil eye may follow a man by Allah's Leave, until he climbs up a high mountain then falls from it."

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessing upon Him) said:

"The evil eye is real and can bring down a person from a high mountain."

What is meant here is that the evil eye follows a person by Allah's will, until it causes him to fall from a high mountain. Musnad Ahmad; Al-Tabarani; Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak. Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is Hasan

It was narrated that Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said: The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessing upon Him) said:

"Most of those who die of my Ummah, after the will and decree of Allah, will die because of the evil eye." Narrated by Al-Bukhari in Al-Tarikh, and by Al-Bazzar. Shaykh Al-Albani said: a Hadith Hasan - Sahih Al-Jami', 1217

It was narrated that Jabir (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessing upon Him) said:

"The evil eye will put a man into his grave and a camel into the cooking pot." Hilyat Al-Awliya' by Abu Na'im. Shaykh Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is a Hasan Hadith - Al-Silsilah Al-Sahihah, 1250.

*Feeling Sadness For An Unknown Reason*

Imam Ibn Taymeeyah [رحمه الله] said:

«سئل سفيان بن عيينة عن غَمٍّ لا يُعْرَفُ سبَبُه قال: هو ذنب همَمْتَ به في سِرِّك ولم تفعله فجزيت هماًّ به. فالذنوب لها عقوبات السِّرُّ بالسِّرِّ والعلانية بالعلانية.»

❝Sufyaan Bin 'Uayaynah was asked about feeling sadness for a unknown reason.

He said: 'It is a sin which you desired to do secretly but you did not perform it, so you were rewarded with sadness for it.'

Therefore, sins have a penalty, secret sins are sanctioned secretly and public sins are sanctioned publicly.❞

[Majmoo al-Fatawa, (14/111) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

*THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD IS BUT A FLOWER*

Shaykh Uthaymeen تعالى هللا رحمه said in his explanation of Riyadis Saliheen:

Allaah the Exalted said: And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to
various groups of them (it is only) the flower of the life of this world.
(Soorah Ţāhā 20:131)

This means don’t look towards the people who possess this worldly life and the pleasures they enjoy such as vehicles, clothes, homes and other than that.
All of that is the flower of this world. And the final destination of the flower is that it will wilt, dry up and disappear. The flower is the fastest leaf on the tree to wilt and disappear.

For this reason He said -flower’. A flower is good in its splendor, beauty and fragrance—if it has a fragrance. But it wilts away rapidly. This worldly life is just like
this, a flower that wilts away quickly.

We ask Allaah to grant us our portion in the next life.

✒ Defend Your Brother’s Honor

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:

“Whoever defends the honor of his brother from being backbitten then it is (his) right from Allāh that he be FREED FROM FIRE.”

● [صحيح الترغيب والترهيب رقم الحديث ٢٨٤٧ ، صححه الألباني]

Translated By: Sameeullaah Sameeullaah (Aboo Maryamm)

Ibraaheem At-Taymee (رحمه الله) used to say:

Oh Allaah protect me with Your religion, and with the Sunnah of Your Prophet (ﷺ), from differing regarding the truth, and from the following of desires, and from the paths of misguidance, and from affairs producing doubts, and from deviation and argumentation.

Three things that bring about destruction - Shaykh Muhammad Nasruddeen Al-Albani (Rahimahullah)

The sickness of the Muslim youth in this present day and age, is that as soon as they feel that they have achieved something of the knowledge about which they were previously ignorant of; they raise their heads with it and think that they comprehend all things with their knowledge.

Hence arrogance and self-amazement took control of them and we fear that they may be included in the statement of the Messenger, may Allah send peace and blessings upon him:

"Three things bring about destruction...

1. Miserliness
2. Following one's desires
3. and that everyone is amazed with his own opinion."
