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:

“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.

“Furthermore, it ought not to be mentioned that *‘Love for one’s homeland is from faith’, nor that this is a narration from the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam), for this is a fabrication.*

_*We are obliged to love our country if it is an Islamic nation, there being no distinction between an individual’s country of birth or a country distant from the lands of the Muslims, both are deemed Islamic lands and dictate that they are protected.”*_

● al-Mulla ‘Ali Qaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) mentioned regarding
the hadeeth:

ber 164.
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 .
ﻭﻣﻌﻨﺎﻩ ﻏﻴﺮ ﻣﺴﺘﻘﻴﻢ ﺇﺫ ﺇﻥ ﺣﺐ ﺍﻟﻮﻃﻦ ﻛﺤﺐ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﻭﺍﻟﻤﺎﻝ ﻭﻧﺤﻮﻩ، ﻛﻞ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻏﺮﻳﺰﻱ ﻓﻲ

ﺍﻟﺤﺐ ﻻ ﻓﺮﻕ ﻓﻲ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺑﻴﻦ ﻣﺆﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﻭﻛﺎﻓﺮﻫﻢ؟ !
“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:
ﻭﻣﺜﻠﻪ “ ﺣﺐ ﺍﻟﻮﻃﻦ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻹﻳﻤﺎﻥ” ﻭﻫﻮ ﻣﺸﻬﻮﺭ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﻣﺔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺃﻧﻪ ﺣﺪﻳﺚ ﺻﺤﻴﺢ، ﻭﻫﻮ

“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:
ﻗﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺼﻐﺎﻧﻲ : ﻣﻮﺿﻮﻉ، ﻭﻗﺎﻝ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻤﻘﺎﺻﺪ : ﻟﻢ ﺃﻗﻒ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ، ﻭﻣﻌﻨﺎﻩ ﺻﺤﻴﺢ،

ﺍﻟﻮﻃﻦ ﻻ ﻳﻨﺎﻓﻲ ﺍﻹﻳﻤﺎﻥ , ﺍﻧﺘﻬﻰ.
“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.]

[ Note: al-Mulla ‘Ali Qaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) mentioned the above in his book “Al-Asrar Al-Marfoo’a fee Al-Akhbaar Al-Mawdoo’at”,pages 180-181 under hadeeth number 164]
And Allaah Knows the Best.

.. 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]

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"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')."

YOUR PARENTS...

The great Imaam, Muhammad bin al-Munkadir (d.130AH) رحمه الله said:

"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

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (May Allaah be pleased with him) reported:

Jibril (Gabriel) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Do you feel sick?” He (ﷺ) said, “Yes.” Jibril supplicated thus (i.e., he performed Ruqyah):

بسم الله أرقيك ,من كلّ شيء يؤذيك ,من شر كلّ نفس أو عين حاسد ,الله يشفيك, بسم الله أرقيك

Bismillahi arqeek, min kulli shay’in yu’dheek, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin haasid, Allaahu yashfeek, Bismillaahi arqeek.

With the Name of Allaah, I recite over you (to cleanse you) from all that troubles you, and from every harmful mischief and from the evil of the eyes of an envier. Allaah will cure you; and with the Name of Allah, I recite over you.

[Sahih Muslim]

Alhamdulillah great advice naseeha

Seven things that you, as a Muslim, will regret when you reach old age:

- Your lack of exercise and unhealthy eating and the resultant flab or disease

- Your negligence of the Arabic language and inability to understand what you are reciting

- Your shortcomings towards your parents which you will face from your own children

- Your lack of family time -,you didn't prioritize raising your child to be righteous, teach him to make du'a for you, to stay connected to you

- Your abandonment of the Qur'an- but you made time for sports and shopping and friends

- Your few good deeds- no voluntary charity, helping someone in need without making it a public statement

- Your vision in life which wasn't dedicated to the Hereafter - you were careless about prayer, did not bother to learn even the fundamentals to prepare for life in the grave and after
What use is the wealth, children and status you enjoy now and are accumulating, if it will all end in heart-wrenching regret?

Spare yourself of tomorrow's agonies.
Make those changes today inShaAllaah

KINDS OF DISEASES...

There are two types of diseases that afflict the heart: one is doubt and error, and the second is lust and desire, and both are mentioned in the Qur'an.

Allāh the Almighty says about the disease of doubt:

`` In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allāh has increased their disease.” (Qur'an, 2:10)

''... and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: What dose Allāh intend by this (curious) example?"' (Qur'an, 74:31)

Allāh the Almighty says concerning those who refuse to make the Qur'an and Sunnah the basis of their judgments:

`And when they are called to Allāh (i.e., His Words, the Qur'an) and his Messenger ﷺ, to judge between them, lo! A party of them refuses (to come) and turns away. But if the truth is on their side, they come to him willingly with submission. Is there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt or fear lest Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ should wrong them in judgment. Nay, it is they themselves who are the zalimun (Polytheists, hypocrites and wrongdoers). " (Qur'an, 24:48-50)

This is the disease of doubt and error.
Allāh the Almighty says about desires and lust [which results in major sins like adultery and fornication]:

`` O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allāh), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery) should be moved with desire..." (Qur'an, 33:32)

Some Reasons Why the Fataawaa of the Scholars May Differ

1- The text (of the Hadeeth) having not reached the Scholar, so due to this reason he gives many verdicts from that which instead came from the companions (Ridhwaanullaahi ‘alaihim). However; they retracted from that when there reached them that which came from the Messenger which opposed it.

2- It could be that the Hadeeth reached him (the Scholar); however it did not withstand authenticity with him. This could be due to a defect in the chain of narration or due to a disparagement of one of its men (in the chain).

3- His belief that the Hadeeth is Da’eef (weak) due to an Ijtihaadin which others have differed with him concerning.

4- His conditions with regard to a Khabar Waahid (singularly reported narration) in regulation; such that other than him differs with him with regard to it.

5- It could be that the Hadeeth did indeed reach him; and likewise was authentic with him – however; he had forgotten about it.

6- The absence of his understanding of the proofs of the Hadeeth due to ambiguity of some of its wordings. Or due to there being many different viewpoints concerning it. Or due to the proofs of the text being hidden in other than that.

7- His belief that there is no proof to be utilised from the Hadeeth due to the absence of its authenticity with him based upon his principles upon which he relies; such as his belief that the proof for a generality is not applied to that which is specified. Or that he restricts that which is found generally due to a reason from his reasons only - and so on.

8- His belief that those proofs have been conflicted with by that which shows that it is not intended such as the opposing of a generality with something particular. Or something un-restricted with something that is to be restricted.

9- His belief that the Hadeeth is an opposer due to that which points to its weakness or its abrogation or its interpretation.

10- Its being an opposing element with that which shows its weakness or its abrogation or its interpretation – such as other than him or his kind would not deem it as an opposing element. Or that it is not in reality a formidable opposer.

🎙 Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaylee

In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy

By Allāh! This ummah was not led astray and overpowered by its enemies from amongst the Jews, Christians, Fire-worshippers, Shīʿah and others except after it abandoned and lost Tawḥīd! So Allāh humiliated it and He will not be pleased with it until it returns to the same Islām which the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and his companions were upon!
