Be PATIENT

Ibn al-Jawzi:

*Understand that life has occasions. One time it is poverty, and another time it is wealth. Once it is honour, and another it is humiliation. Happy is he who remains grounded in each situation*

[Sayd al-Khatir [p.282]

#Be #Humble

Imām Ibn Qudāmah (d.620AH) رحمه الله stated:

"The Salaf used to love those who informed them of their shortcomings and mistakes. And as for us now, the most hated of the people to us are those who inform us of our mistakes & shortcomings."

[Minhaaj al-Qaasideen (p.196)]

Imām adh-Dhahabi رحمه الله said:

“When a Believer is tested, he remains patient, he contemplates, he seeks forgiveness, and he does not become distracted by blaming those who seek revenge upon him.”

Sīyar A'lām an-Nubalā 8/80 | Imām adh-Dhahabi رحمه الله

قال الإمام الذهبي رحمه الله:

فالمؤمن إذا امتحان صبر واتعظ واستغفر
ولم يتشاغل بذم من انتقم منه

سير أعلام النبلاء ٨/٨٠

Translation: Authentic Quotes

Do you find yourself depressed? Sad? Unhappy?

If the sins of the servant become abundant and he does not possess [righteous] actions to expiate his sins, Allāh will afflict him with sadness to expiate his sins. التوبة لابن أبي الدنيا ص.١٣٠

Eat Honey or Raisin

Some of the scholars have mentioned certain foods which improve the memory such as drinking honey and eating raisins and chewing certain kinds of gum resin.

Imaam al-Zuhri said: “You should eat honey because it is good for the memory.”
He also said: “Whoever wants to memorize hadeeth should eat raisins.” (From al-Jaami’ by al-Khateeb, 2/394).

Ibraaheem ibn said, “You should chew resin gum, because it gives energy to the heart and gets rid of forgetfulness.” (From al-Jaami’ by al-Khateeb, 2/397).
Japanese researchers found that activity in the hippocampus, an area of the brain important for memory, increases while people chew. Similarly, Dr Andre Scholey of the University of Northumbria said that the simplest reason could be that chewing increases the heart rate, thus improving the delivery of oxygen to the brain and enhancing its cognitive powers.

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (رضي الله عنه) said:
“Recite the Qur'an in seven days but do not recite it in less than thre days, and a man should strictly guard his daily recitation of one juz.” [Ash-Shu’ab, 2/2173]

al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥibbān Raḥimahullāh said:

“If intelligence had two doors; one of them would be PATIENCE and other one would be DELIBERATION (i.e not being hasty).”

Ibn al-Qayyīm said:

❝Whoever knows Allāh through His (Beautiful) Names and (Lofty) Attributes and His (Perfect) Actions, he will undoubtedly love Allāh (more and more).❞

🇮🇳 *Fabricated Hadeeth – Love for one’s Homeland is from Faith*🇮🇳

[ _*This hadith is shared at the time of Republic day and Independence day*_ ]

Nowadays mawdoo’ (fabricated) ahaadeeth, false reports and made-up stories have become widespread. Many people have become 'رused to repeating these reports without checking whether they are Saheeh {authentic} and without examining their real nature.
This is haraam according to sharee’ah and is an insult to common sense.

These ahaadeeth are falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is not permissible to narrate them or quote them without clearly stating that they are false.
Regarding the hadeeth: ﺣُﺐُّ ﺍﻟْﻮَﻃَﻦِ ﻣِﻦَ ﺍﻹِﻳﻤَﺎﻥِ (Hubbul-Watan Min al-
Eemaan)
Translation: *“Love of one’s homeland (country) is from faith”*
Source: Kashf al-Khafa’ wa Muzil al-Ilbas (1102), al-Silsilah al-Hadeeth
ad-Da’eefah (36) and reported by al-Saghaanee in his al-Mawdhoo’at (81)

The above hadeeth is not the saying of Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and is a very good example of fabrication and falsehood which are attributed to the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam). It is mentioned by the scholars in their books as an example
of Hadeeth fabrication and lies.

● The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta’ was asked
regarding the hadeeth, they replied:

ﻭﺑﺎﻟﻠﻪ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﻓﻴﻖ . ﻭﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻧﺒﻴﻨﺎ ﻣﺤﻤﺪ، ﻭﺁﻟﻪ ﻭﺻﺤﺒﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ.
“The phrases you mentioned are not Hadith reported from the Prophet(peace be upon him); they are just sayings that people have become
accustomed to using.

Regarding whether the meaning of the phrase is correct or not, the scholars have clarified that it’s meaning is strange and wrong.

● Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah), mentioned about this hadeeth in “al- Silsilah al-*Hadeeth ad-Da’eefah” (Volume 1, page 110 number 36), and classed it as being Mawdoo’ (fabricated).
He said:
ﻣﻮﺿﻮﻉ . ﻛﻤﺎ ﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺼﻐﺎﻧﻲ ‏( ﺹ 7 ‏) ﻭﻏﻴﺮﻩ .

“This hadeeth is Mawdoo’ (fabricated) and it was said by al-Saghaanee(page 7) and other than him.
And the meaning of the hadeeth is not correct, *because love of homeland is like love of oneself, money, and the like.* *All of these are
inborn in humans. *There is no praise for this love and neither is it fromEemaan (faith).* Do you not think that all of the people involved in this
love (i.e love of ones homeland), there is no difference in that between
the believers and kaafir alike? !”

● Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:

“Like for example *‘Love for one’s homeland is from faith’. It is famous near the general people, that this is a saheeh hadeeth, (but) this hadeeth is fabricated and false. It’s meaning is also not correct, rather, love of one’s homeland is from prejudice.”*

● Shaykh Ismail ibn Muhammad al-‘Ajaloonee mentioned this hadeeth as Mawdoo’ in his book “Kashf al-Khafa’ wa Muzil al-Ilbas” (1102), Volume 1 pages 398-399 and said:

“al-Saghaani said: Mawdoo’ (fabricated). And he said in al-Maqaasid: I am not aware of it, and its meaning is correct. Al-Qaari replied to his saying that its meaning is not saheeh and that It is strange.
al-Mulla ‘Ali Qaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: As there is no correlation between the love of Country and the matters of Eemaan
(faith) and this view (i.e. the view of those who consider the meaning of the hadeeth to be correct) could be refuted by what Allaah Said :
“And if We had ordered them (saying), “Kill yourselves (i.e. the innnocent ones kill the guilty ones) or leave your homes,” very few of them would have done it; but if they had done what they were told, it would have
been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith)” [Qur’an
Surah an-Nisa’ 4:66] So this is an evidence of their (the hypocrite’s) love to the Homeland/ Country without mixing it with the matters of Eemaan, as the pronoun (alayhim/upon them) is for the hypocrites.
And some (scholars) also said that there is nothing in his mentioned words that proves that no one can love his country except a Believer. But rather, *it shows that there is no contradiction between Love of the homeland/Country and the matters of Eemaan.”* [i.e. even the hypocrites
who have no faith, also love their country/homeland. So love of one’s homeland cannot be considered to be from Faith and hence this saying is not true.]

.. Why do they argue so much?


When Imam al-Hasan al-Basri came across a group of people arguing, he would say:

📌 "These ones have become tired of worship, speaking has become easy for them, and their Taqwa has diminished, and that is why they talk and argue so easily." 📌

Reportedly (Az-Zuhd of Imām Ahmad, p. 272)

Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen said:

❝No matter how many good deeds you may have done… Don’t be amazed at your actions.
Verily! Your actions are but a few in comparison to… The rights of Allaah upon you.❞

[Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen (1/575) of Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen]

A Series of Reminders About The Month of Sha’bān – No.9

*The 100 Rak’ah Salāh That Is Prayed On The 1st & 27th Night Of Rajab And On The 15th Night Of Sha’bān Is An Innovation*

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said: “As for inventing a Salāh that comprises of a specific number of rak’āt where a specific number of verses are recited at a specific time and is prayed as an optional prayer congregationally like the following salawāt (prayers): “Ṣalāt ar-Raghā`ib that is prayed on the first Jumu’ah of Rajab, or the al-Alfiyyah (i.e. the 100 rak’ah Salāh wherein Sūrah al-Ikhlās is recited 1000 times) that is prayed in the beginning of Rajab, or the 15th of Sha’bān, or the 27th night of Rajab and others like this, then this was not legislated by consensus of the Imams of Islām as stated by the ‘Ulamā’ who are reliable. No one will invent such a Ṣalāh except that is ignorant and is an innovator.”

● [الفتاوى الكبرى ٢٣٩/٢]

"Call upon Allaah while being certain of being answered (by Him), know that Allaah does not answer the supplication of a (person whose) heart is negligent and inattentive (whilst making dua')."

"My brother 'Umar spent the night in prayer (i.e. the tahajjud Salah) and I spent the night massaging my mother's feet, and I would NOT exchange my night with his night."

[Siyar 'Alaam an-Nubala 5/359]

An advice especially to our young, who are still living at home and not married. Make the most of your time with your parents, in being good to them and being at their service. When you start working, get married and have children إن شاء الله, you won't have the same opportunity and free time as you used to.

~Sunnah: TO KEEP A FEELING OF MODESTY~

It is that he has hayaa‘ (modesty and shame) at all times, as he – ’alayhis-salaam – said, ‘‘Faith (eemaan) has sixty or seventy odd branches, the most excellent of them is witnessing that none has the right to be worshipped besides Allaah, and the lowest branch is removing something harmful from the road, and hayaa‘ is from eemaan.’’ [9] He – ’alayhis-salaam – also said, ‘‘Hayaa‘ is from eemaan, and eemaan is from Paradise. Speaking obscenely is from coarseness and coarseness is from the Fire.’’ [10]

The Wisdom Behind Fasting – Shaykh al-‘Uthaymīn (rahimahullāh)

The wisdom behind fasting is not that a person merely prevents himself from the grace of Allāh (‘azza wa jal), such as food, drink and sexual relations; however the wisdom behind fasting is something greater than that, it is (that you attain) the taqwa of Allāh, as Allāh (tabāraka wa ta’āla) said when he mentioned the obligation of fasting

‎[البقرة:183] ‎{ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ }

That you may become al-Muttaqūn [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. Al-Baqarah: 183
