Why People Invent Bid’ah in religion:
Mu’âdh b. Jabal – Allâh be pleased with him – used to say:
Ahead of you are times of trials (fitan) in which there will be much wealth and in which the Qur’ân will be opened and taken (read) by believers and hypocrites, men and women, young and old and freemen and slaves. At that time it is likely that there will be people who will say, “Why aren’t the people following me when I have read the Qur’ân? They will not follow me until I invent something else.” So, beware of everything that is innovated (in religion), for those things that are innovated are misguidance.

🔺FIVE TYPES OF FEAR 🔻
The believer has five types of fear:
1. Allah may take his faith away from him.
2. The recording angels may write down something that may expose him on the Day of Resurrection.
3. Shaytaan may cause his deeds to become invalid.
4. The Angel of Death may come to him without warning.
5. The world may tempt him and distract him from the Hereafter.
- 'Uthmaan ibn Affan (RadiyAllahu 'anhu)

Imagine the pain and sadness one would feel if they lost their whole family, also on top of that they lose all their wealth....

When calamities occur reflect on four names of Allah.
1. Al-Aleem
2. Al-Hakeem
3. Ar-Rahmaan
4. Ar-Raheem
Firstly, because Allah has perfect and complete knowledge in general and detail. His knowledge was not preceded by ignorance nor superseded by forgetfulness.
Secondly, Al-Hakeem which indicates putting things in its proper place at the proper time. We are afflicted by the One who is all knowledgeable and wise.
Thirdly, Ar-Rahmaan the Most Beneficent. Whatever affliction we face in reality it is in reality a mercy. Why? Even in a fever it is a mercy. Allah's messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم forbade us from cursing the fever. Why? Because he said:
لا تسبي الحمى فانها تذهب خطايا بني آدم كما يذهب الكير خبث الحديد"
Do not curse the fever for verily the fever removes the sins of the children of Aadam just as the furnace removes filth from steel. "
Saheeh Muslim
Fourthly, Ar-Raheem, the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said :
إن الله اذا اراد الله بعبده شراََ امسك ذنبه حتى يوافى به يوم القيامة"
Verily when Allah desires harm for His slave then He withholds from him the punishment for his sins until yaumal qiyaamah where he will receive the full recompense. "
Whatever calamity if it occurs and we believe correctly and act correctly and remain patient they will be rewarded. This is mercy. To this affliction the prophet said :
"أنت عبد أراد الله بك خيرا"
"You are a slave of Allah that Allah desires good for."
May Allaah keep us mindful. اللهم آمين

Shaikh’ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah RahimHuAllah said:
When the victory returns to the disbelievers, it’s because of the sins of the Muslims, their lack of faith, and their ignorance of tawhid.
But if they repent in perfecting their faith and in returning to authentic Sunnah, Allah will ensure victory without the least of doubt!

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times: As'alullahal-'Azima Rabbal-'Arshil-'Azimi, an yashfiyaka (I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you), Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness."

*THE RELIGION ISN'T BASED ON OPINION*
Abdi Khayr reported: Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, “If the religion were based upon one’s opinion, one might expect the bottom of the leather sock to be wiped instead of the top, yet I have seen the Messenger of Allaah, peace and blessings be upon him, wiping over the upper part of his leather socks.”

The Responsibilities of a Messenger
🌐https://www.troid.org/brief-benefits/2530-benefit-the-responsibilities-of-a-messenger
The definition of a messenger,
linguistically, is one who was sent with a message.
Islamically, a messenger is a man from the children of Ādam who Allāh has sent down revelation to regarding His legislation.
The responsibilities of a messenger — as found in the Qurʾān and authentic Sunnah — are:
1⃣ That he is a witness for and against the creation. He is a witness for them in that which they actualize of his Sunnah and the legislation of Allāh which he came with. He is a witness against them in that which they don’t actualize and what they abandon of his Sunnah and the legislation of Allāh.
2⃣ To give glad tidings and warnings. The glad tidings of Paradise are given to the obedient and the warnings — which are reminders of the punishments — are given to the disobedient.
3⃣ To judge between the people and resolve their disputes.
4⃣ To educate the people about the legislation of Allāh.

You are misbehaving against Allāh in what He gave, because you are not pleased with what He gave me.

The benefits of seclusion
Many of the pious predecessors would spend long periods of time in seclusion. When one of them was asked: “Do you not feel the bite of loneliness?” He replied: “How can I, when He has said that He is the companion of those who remember Him?”
[Aboo Nu’aym, 8/217]
One of the Salaf said:
“How can one feel the bite of loneliness when he is with Allaah?”
[Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa, Al-‘Uzlah #49]
One of the Salaf said:
“Whoever feels the bite of loneliness when alone does so because of his lack of solace with his Lord.” [Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa, Al-‘Uzlah #49]
Yahyaa Ibn Mu’aadh would frequently seclude and isolate himself. His brother censured him saying: “If you are a man amongst men, you need the company of men!” So he replied: “If you are a man amongst men, you are in need of Allaah!”
