Preventing people from the truth!

Ibn Uthaymeen

“The greatest of sins is that a person blocks & prevents (the people) from the truth. So anyone who blocks (the people) from good is a person who turns away (the people) from the Path of Allaah.

[Tafseer Soorah al-Baqarah, 3/57]

Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever recited the Qur'ān, studied if, and acted according to what it contains; on the Day of Judgment his parents will be dressed with a crown of light, it's brightness is like that of the sun, and his parents will be adorned with two bracelets, of which the whole world is not equivalent to them."

So they will ask: "Why are we being adorned with these?"

It will be said: "This is because of your child reciting, teaching and acting upon the Qur'ān."

Remembrance of Allah In The Morning and The Evening
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا
And He it is Who has put the night and the day in succession, for such who desires to remember or desires to show his gratitude. [25:62]

The night and the day differ- this one is white and that one is black. So one takes admonition and contemplates on the difference between them and thanks Allaah for them. [Ref 1]

Whoever has missed the remembrance of Allaah in the morning, then indeed the evening has arrived so that he can do so. [Ref 2]

The Difference Between a Believer and a Wicked Person

The use of smileys in text messages, emails, is this allowed?

Mūsá Richardson - May Allāh preserve him responds:

As for the use of smileys, then I'm afraid that smileys, I won't say it with certainty, but I'm afraid that smileys are very close to if not included in the issue of image making as there are generally the drawings of what resemble human faces and that is the part of the picture that you would remove! The head! If there was an image so it is the essential part of the image so let us not say, "well it's too small and it's tiny", let us remind ourselves with the seriousness of this matter, that the Messenger ﷺ spoke about image making in so many aḥādīth that nearly 20 in number! As he has not spoken about other prohibited matters and you've seen the wordings of those texts today, so at least without saying it's ḥarām without being absolutely certain about it can we stay away from it? Fearing that, that could be ḥarām? At the least? Or if a person said, "that's just a face! How can that be permissible?" I would have to agree!

And so without giving a fatāwa on that issue then I would say I admonish you, advise you and remind you to stay away from issues that could be an image. And that's the least of the situation.

🔸 Some of the effects of jealousy, desires of the self and wanting to be above others.

✏️Ibn Taimiyah رحمه الله stated in Majmoo’ al Fataawa, pg. 191, v.7:
‘Verily an individual may know that the truth is with another person, yet despite knowing this, he rejects it due to:

1. Having jealousy of the other person.
2. Or Seeking to be above the other person.
3. Or due to desires of his soul.

And these desires of the soul cause him to:
1. Violate the rights of this individual.
2. Reject what he says utilizing all means.
All the while knowing in his heart that the truth is with the other person.

*Umar on Trustworthiness*

It is reported that ʿUmar b. Al-Khaṭṭāb – Allāh be pleased with him – said:

Do not expose yourself to what does not concern you, stay away from your enemy, beware of [taking as] your friend anyone except the trustworthy amongst people – and there is no one who is trustworthy except one who fears Allāh; and do not accompany the sinner in case you learn his sinfulness, and do not let him know your secrets, and consult those who fear Allāh for your affairs.

Ibn Abī Shaybah, Al-Muṣannaf 34476.

Trials Distinguish The Truthful Ones From The Liars - By Shaikh Fawzaan

Blind followers of personalities get confused and ask,"You used to listen to so and so, what happened?" A sign they haven't learned the Salafi usul of al Walā wa al Barā for the sake of Allāh.A person may have once been clear, but if they become unclear, we stick to what's clear!

Sh Sālih al-Fawzān:

How many claim Salafiyyah and claim to be upon the path of the Salaf, but they are in opposition to it (either due to ignorance or by following their desires)?!

1) Al-Fudhayl ibn 'Iyyād: 'If you want to befriend a person, make them angry and if he reacts in a manner that pleases you, befriend him.'

Today, this advice is risky because relationships are no longer pure as was the case in the time of Salaf of this Ummah whose concern was...

2) only the Hereafter. They built relationships solely on the basis of Dīn and not this dunyā. Today, the love of dunyā has overpowered the hearts, so test the person who wears the garments of Dīn and you will realise his reality.

A reminder benefits the believer.

A tender, merciful heart is the most precious gem hidden inside the human body.

Imran ibn Husayn Rathy Allahu an ha said, "The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,

'Some people of this Ummah will be swallowed up by the earth, some will be transformed into animals, and some will be bombarded with stones.' One of the Muslims asked, 'When will that be, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'When singers and musical instruments will become popular, and much wine will be drunk.' " [Narrated by at-Tirmidhi]

Use the Text (from the Kitaab and Sunnah - upon the understanding of the Salaf) to interpret the Deen and not your logic:

Narrated `Alee ibn Abu Taalib:
❝If the religion were based on (personal) opinion, it would be more essential to wipe the under part of the shoe than the upper, but I have seen the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم wiping over the upper part of his shoes (while making Wudhoo).❞
📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (162, 164) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

*0% Interest does NOT mean Halal.* @Finances!

Shaykh Rabee bin Hadee al-Madkhallee:

“Search for the believing companion who aids you in the obedience of Allah, motivates you to do good, warns you from evil and you do not gain from him except good.”

[Al-Majmoo’ al-Raa'iq p.28]

Imaam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about a number of actions.

He responded by saying: “Examine them, and do the one that is the most beneficial for the condition of your heart.”

See “Maxims of Jurisprudence” by Imaam as-S’adee, pg. 90.

MUST READ: The two faced person!

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, may Allah protect him, said:
…A two-faced person is a chameleon-like individual with the people. In one sitting, he says what pleases the people who are there. Then, he goes to another sitting, praises those people, says what pleases them and speaks ill of the first group.

He shows one face to a group of people and another face to others. This is hypocrisy, and we seek refuge with Allah; it is also impermissible flattery. He goes to people who do evil deeds and gives the appearance that he is pleased with them. He shows them a pardoning, cheery face. He does the same with the people upon the truth.

For this reason, he is under a sever threat. Allah, The Lofty, described these people by saying (i.e. its meaning):

Wavering between them, [belonging] neither to these [i.e., the believers] nor to those [i.e., the disbelievers]
[Soorah an-Nisaa (4): 153]

And in another verse, He says (i.e. its meaning):
And when they meet those who believe, they say, “We believe”;but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, “Indeed,we are with you; we were only mockers.” [Soorah al-Baqaraa (2): 14]

As for a Muslim, then he is truthful, he does not display chameleon-like behavior, and he does not do things for the sake of people. He interacts with everyone according to what Islam dictates.

He clings to the fear of Allah and truthfulness in every circumstance and sitting in all situations. His goal is Allah, and he seeks His pleasure. He doesn’t seek the pleasure of people…(1)
