✒ 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.

[Al-I'Tisaam Of Ash-Shaatibee (1/116) | Daar Ibn 'Affaan, 1st Edn., 1412 |Translated By Aboo Talhah Dawood Ibn Ronald Burbank]

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."

قـال الشيـخ الألبانـي رحمـه الله
- آفـة الشبـاب المسلـم فـي العصـر الحاضـر هـو أنهـم لمجـرد أن يشعـروا بأنهـم عرفـوا شيـئا مـن العلـم لـم يكونـوا مـن قبـل علـى علـم بـه
رفعـوا بـه رؤوسهـم
وظنـوا أنهـم قـد احاطـوا بكـل شـئ علمـا
فتسلـط عليهـم الغـرور والعجـب
- ونخشـى أن يشملهـم قـول الرسـول صلـى اللـه عليـه وسلـم
ثـلاث مهلكـات
شـح مطـاع
وهـوى متبـع
واعجـاب كـل ذي رأي برأيه

Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم is reported to have said:

“When one of you sees his brother or his brother’s wealth and is amazed by it, then he should say *‘Baarakallaah’*/make du’a for barakah, for verily the evil eye is true.

*(Ibnus Sunni, Hadith: 206)*

A reminder to all who complain about their situation yet eat 2 meals a day.

'Umar رضي الله عنه said:

"I saw the Allāh's Messenger ﷺ spending the whole day suffering because of hunger & he could not even find low quality dates with which to fill his stomach."

[Muslim no.2978]

We need to instill in ourselves & our children to be grateful to Allaah for what we have. Unfortunately we live in times & in societies where blessings are overlooked & we take them for granted, like shelter, food, clean water, electricity, gas, safety, good health & much more.

Donot break Promises/covenants/agreements.

It was narrated that Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib(رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: “Whoever breaks the covenant/agreement/promise of a Muslim, upon him be the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and Allah will not accept any obligatory or naafil act of worship from him.”(Sahih Bukhari, 1870; Muslim, 1370).

Ali Ibn Abee Taalib said:

Neither take an idiot as a close companion nor a wicked sinner.

As for the idiot, he brings shame upon you when he enters & when he exits.

As for the wicked sinner, he beatifies his deeds for you & wishes that you're like him.

The Age Of Fitnah

Imām Muqbil Raḥimahullāh said:
“We are in the age of trials (Fitan) and nothing can save us from these trials except for ALLĀH Subḥānahū Wa Ta'ālā and after that BENEFICIAL KNOWLEDGE.”

[قمع المعاند ٢/٣٧٠]

Imaam Maalik bin Anas 179 AH said to a young man from Quraysh,

يا ابن أخي تعلم الأدب قبل أن تتعلم العلم

“O son of my brother, learn manners before learning knowledge.”

Ibn Qayyim

"The heart will rest and feel relief if it is settled with Allah, and it will worry and be anxious if it is settled with the people."

💎 Abu Dardaa said:

❝If it were not for three things I wish not to remain in the Dunya:

1. Placing my face down in prostration to my creator across the alternation of the day and the night, preparing for the [true] life to come.

2. Experiencing thirst during the hottest part of the day [due to fasting].

3. And Sitting with a people who select and choose their words [i.e. are careful with their speech] the way fruit is selected.❞

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) said:

It is obligatory on the student of knowledge to be careful of thinking about others a bad assumption, like saying; this person didn't give sadaqah except for riyaa' (show off), this student didn't ask this question except to show off in order that he lets himself known that he is a student that understands.

[Majmoo` Al Fatawaa Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen | Vol. 26, Page 214]

🔥Avoid personal attacks even if what is being said is true!

🎓Al-San`aanee (rahimah-ullaah) said:

❝Look at the Wisdom of Allaah تبارك وتعالى and His love for gathering the hearts together, and how He تعالى has forbidden Nameemah (gossiping) – EVEN IF (WHAT IS BEING SAID) IS TRUE – because it corrupts the hearts, and gives rise to hostility and estrangement.

And He تعالى has permitted lies – even though telling lies is Haraam (forbidden) – if it is for the purpose of gathering the hearts, and generating the love between them, and for getting rid of the hostility.❞

📚 [Subul as-Salaam Sharh Buloogh al-Maraam (2/684)]

📕 And in the Hadeeth, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
❝Shall I tell you about the most evil ones from amongst you?❞
They (the Companions) said: “Of course.” He صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
❝Those who go around with Nameemah; they make enmity between friends and they seek problems for the innocent.❞

📚 [Musnad of Imaam Ahmad and al-Bukhaaree in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad (323) and graded as “Hasan li ghairihee” (good due to corroborating chains) by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

⚠ Money is the idol of this ummah, and people worship it:

Ḥasan Al-Baṣri (Rahimahullāah): “For every Ummah is an idol which is worshipped and the idol of this Ummah is Deenār and Dirham (i.e wealth).”

‎ [الآداب الشريعة ٣/٢٩٧]

What is Bid'ah?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhāb al-Wassābī defined al-Bid’ah as:

❝Every belief, action, or statement newly invented after the death of the Prophet [ﷺ] with the intention of worship and getting closer to Allāh, and it is not indicated by any proof from the Book [i.e. the Qur’ān], and not from the Sunnah and not from the actions of the Salaf [i.e. the Sahābah].❞

[Sharh al-Jadīd ‘Alā al-Qawl al-Mufīd Fī Adillah at-Tawhīd, (Page: 348-389) | Translated By Abū Ruqayyah 'Abd us-Samad]

⚠ Instead of suppressing one's anger, people usually boasts about their anger and be like, "Don't mess with me." Listen up, Sister or Mister! Arrogance can block your entry into Jannah, no matter how pious or righteous you are. Be'ithnillaah.

Ibn Al-Jawzee (Rahimahullāah):
“The main reason for anger is usually arrogance."
