✒ Lack Of Attentiveness In Prayer Can Nullify Its Reward
Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:
أول ما يرفع من الناس الأمانة وآخر ما يبقى من دينهم الصلاة ورب مصل لا خلاق له عند الله تعالى
“The first thing to be lifted from people (i.e from this Ummah) is TRUST and the last thing to remain of their religion is prayer; and perhaps one will pray but he would have NO PORTION (acceptance or reward) with Allāh Taʿālā.”

Between You and the One in the Grave
It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrī – Allāh have mercy on him – once said during the funeral of a man:
May Allāh have mercy on the man who works for the likes of this day; for today you are able to do what these brothers of yours, the residents of these graves, cannot do. So make full use of your health and free time before the day of distress and accounts comes upon you.
Ibn Abī Al-Dunyā, Dhamm Al-Dunyā article 53.

|| The meaning of al-Dunya (the World) ||
[Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen (3/355) of Shaikh al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله]
The Shaikh رحمه الله said:
الدنيا(Al-Dunya - the World): is this life which we are living in. It was named Dunyaa because of two reasons:
The First: It is أدنى (Adnaa - nearer/closer) than الآخرة (al-Aakhirah - the Hereafter), because it came BEFORE the Hereafter as Allaah تعالى said:
{وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى}
{And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).} [Surah al-Dhuhaa (93): 4]
The Second: It is دنيئة (Danee’ah - ignoble/inferior), it is nothing in comparison to the Hereafter. As Imaam Ahmad has reported:
لموضع سوط أحدكم في الجنة خير من الدنيا وما فيها
“A place in Paradise (as small) as that occupied by the whip of one of you is better than the world and whatever is in it.” [Musnad of Imaam Ahmad (22290) and Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (2892, 3250, 6415) on the authority of Sahl ibn Sad رضي الله عنه]
The place, the size of a short and small stick (whip), in Paradise is better than world and whatever is in it, from its beginning to its end.

On social media (namely YouTube) you will find many videos of people who have recorded themselves doing ruqyah on a patient.
In these videos, the jinn is having a strong reaction to the recitation and is usually screaming or moving around in a violent way.
There are several problems with such videos:
‣ It makes the raqi look like someone special. He really isn't. He is a normal person like all of us and he has NO special ability whatsoever. He has sins which he is struggling with and he has weaknesses. Jinn react differently to recitation for a variety of reasons; we should not post videos of jinn jumping up and down which make us look special.
‣ Sometimes a shaytaan will laugh at you when you recite and at other times there isn't much of a reaction at all - however the brothers only post up videos which seem interesting. This gives a skewed picture of ruqyah to the people who don't know any better and may lead to attachment to one particular raqi - especially as he always seems to "get a reaction".
‣ Many people have been scared off self-ruqyah due to these videos of violent reactions. They wonder how they will react and shaytan uses this as a tool against them, meaning they actually don't do ruqyah out of fear. Thus it is massively counterproductive because ruqyah can benefit everyone; and the majority of people certainly don't react the same as what we see in the videos.
‣ In these videos we usually see the raqi doing fancy things over and above simple recitation of the Qur'an - leading the people to think that the Qur'an "is not enough" - when in actual fact we don't need anything more than Qur'an. The other techniques from experience are just that, experience which is not discarded but which should never overtake what Allah and His Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) have told us about.
‣ These videos have become a means of self-promotion and are a form of self-praise, and i suspect that ultimately this is the primary reason for uploading them. The raqi is misleading others into thinking he has treated many people when in actual fact this may not be the case and ALL CURE IS FROM ALLAH ALONE. So you will see the raqi's contact details splattered all over the video and their assistance almost always comes with a very heavy price indeed.
‣ These videos serve no or very little educational purpose. You're not going to learn anything beneficial from such videos because every case is unique and strong knowledge of the basics is required. I even know of videos being made and uploaded WITHOUT the consent of the patient. Such people should fear Allah.
‣ These videos become entertainment for others. W'Allahi it is disgraceful to be entertained by the suffering of your brothers and sisters. Perhaps a person is laughing today but they will be afflicted themselves tomorrow?
‣ What about when the person recovers insha'Allah? Will they still want their business all over the internet? Probably not. But it is often too late by that stage and it has spread far and wide. This may even come under the heading of exposing another Muslim, for which a person should fear that they too will be exposed by Allah.
It is for these reasons (and many more) that i advise you not to watch "recorded ruqya" sessions on youtube and I advise those who have uploaded them to fear Allah and take them down. It is upon us to tell those who are posting such videos that they should stop doing so and remove that which has already occurred.

💐 #FORGIVENESS - "ALLAAH WILL CHANGE THEIR SINS INTO GOOD DEEDS" - II 💐
إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا
"Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
-Surah Al-Furqan, Ayah 70
🍃 Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Jabir heard Makhul say,
"A very old man with sunken eyes came and said, O Messenger of Allah, a man betrayed others and did immoral deeds, and there was no evil deed which he did not do. If (his sins) were to be distributed among the whole of mankind, they would all be doomed. Is there any repentance for him?"
Have you become Muslim?
He said, "As for me, I bear witness that there is no God but Allah Alone, with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger."
The Prophet said:
فَإِنَّ اللهَ غَافِرٌ لَكَ مَا كُنْتَ كَذَلِكَ وَمُبَدِّلُ سَيِّيَاتِكَ حَسَنَات
Allah will forgive you for whatever you have done like that, and will replace your evil deeds with good merits.
The man said:"O Messenger of Allah, even my betrayals and immoral actions?"
The Prophet said:
وَغَدَرَاتُكَ وَفَجَرَاتُك
Even your betrayals and immoral actions.
"The man went away saying La ilaha illallah' and `Allahu Akbar."' 🍃
Allah tells us how His mercy extends to all His creatures, and that whoever among them repents to Him, He will accept his repentance for any sin, great or small.
