Narrated ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar (radhīAllāhu 'anhu):
Sad bin 'Ubada became sick and the Prophet (ﷺ) along with 'Abdur Rahmān bin 'Auf, Sa’d bin Abī Waqqās and 'Abdullāh bin Ma'sud visited him to inquire about his health.
When he came to him, he found him surrounded by his household and he asked, “Has he died?” They said, “No, O Allāh’s Apostle.” The Prophet (ﷺ) wept and when the people saw the weeping of Allāh’s Apostle (ﷺ) they all wept. He said, “Will you listen? Allāh does not punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the heart but he punishes or bestows His Mercy because of this.”
He pointed to his tongue and added, “The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him.” 'Umar used to beat with a stick and throw stones and put dust over the faces (of those who used to wail over the dead).
[Sahīh Bukhārī Vol. 2, Hadīth no. 391. Translated by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khān]

From the plots of Shaytan (Satan) and his traps which he uses to influence those who possess only a small share of knowledge, intellect, and religion - and with this he captures the hearts of the ignorant and the people of falsehood - is the listening to whistling (al-muka), clapping (at-tasdiyyah), and singing accompanied with instruments, which are forbidden, that turns the hearts away from the Qur'an and causes them to become preoccupied with disobedience and transgression.
So it is the Qur'an of the Shaytan and the dense barrier that keeps people from the Most Merciful...Through it, the immoral lover entices his lover to the very limits of their desires. With it, the Shaytan deceives the astray souls and makes it seem good to them through scheming and delusion. He inspires witin them baseless doubts to justify its "goodness" and his suggestions are accepted; because of this, it causes the Qur'an to become abandoned.

Why Aren't We Striving Against #GreatestOppression?
#VoiceAgainstSHIRK
► PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Oppression is of three types:
Oppression that Allah does not forgive,
Oppression that He does forgive, and
Oppression that he holds off on.
1) As for the oppression that he does not forgive, then that is polytheism (Shirk), as Allah says:
{QURAN 31:13 Indeed, association [with him] is great injustice.}
2) And as for the oppression that he forgives, then this is the oppression of the servants of themselves in what is between them and their Lord.
3) And as for the oppression that Allah holds off on, then this is the oppression of the servants to each other until they work it out between themselves.
(SAHIH AL JAAMI Hadith #3961)
(AS SILSILAH AS SAHIHAH Hadith #1927)
(MUSNAD AHMAD Hadith #26073)
(MUSTADRAK LIL HAKIM Hadith #8717)
(SHOUBUL IMAAN LIL BAIHAQI Hadith #7069)
➨ QURAN 4:48
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.
And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.
➨ QURAN 4:116
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.
And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray.
➨ QURAN 5:72
Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire.
And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
➨ QURAN 39:65
And it was already revealed to you (Muhammad ﷺ) and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers.

The affliction that the Muslims are being tested by is their being ignorant about their Religion. So anyone that memorizes some ayaat and ahaadeeth and then begins to talk about it, especially if he has some eloquence in speech, people say: “This is a Shaikh.”
All praise be to Allaah, the reality of the matter became clear, as it is said:
“If you hear the eloquent one speaking, do not give yourself into him
For this unnatural (way of speaking) is something artificial
Be pleased with taking knowledge and understanding, and
His eloquent speech will come to an end without any fight.”

When a famine struck Madinah during the reign of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he swore that he would not eat ghee, yogurt or milk until all the people could afford to have these things. Then some ghee and yogurt reached the marketplace and a slave bought them for 'Umar for forty (dirhams). He came to 'Umar and said:
يا أمير المؤمنين ، قد أبر اللَّه يمينك وعظم أجرك ، قدم السوق وطب من لبن وعكة من سمن ، فابتعتهما بأربعين

"You paid too much for them. Give them in charity, for I do not like to eat in an extravagant manner." And 'Umar said,
كيف يعنيني شأن الرعية إذا لم يمسسني ما مسهم ؟
"How can I be concerned for the people if I do not suffer what they suffer?"
