🌸 The importance of just two (2) rak’ahs (units) of prayer:

“Allaah’s Messenger Prophet Mohammed (صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم) passed by a grave in which a person had been newly buried, and he said:

"Two light rak`ahs, which you would regard as being something slight, and which you pray as something extra; if he- and he pointed to his grave- were able to add them to his deeds it would be more beloved to him than (having) everything in your world"

‘Silsilatul-Ahaadeethis-Saheehah’ (no.1388) of Shaykh Al-Albanee.

Al-Qasim b. Muḥammad, the grandson of Abū Bakr رحمه الله said:

"In my time the people were not impressed by speech, they were impressed by actions. Anyone can say whatever he wants."

● [Kitab Al-Zuhd p.354]

Ibn Jawzi (rahimahullaah) said:

“I believe that coming out of her house and roaming about the streets in itself is sufficient to cause trouble, let alone exhibiting her beauty and her body.”

[Ahkaam’un Nisa📚]

A Good Life

Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen -Rahimuhullaah- said:

“A good life is not as some people perceive it to be, it is thought to be protection from trials, poverty, sickness and grief.

No! On the contrary, what is intended by a good life is that a person possesses a good heart, feels delight (through the expansion of his chest) and is content with Allah’s Qadr (predestined) and His Qada (execution of predestined matters).

Thus if he is granted good he is grateful and that is better for him, and if he is afflicted with harm, he is patient, and that is better for him.

This is what is meant by a good life, and it refers to a contented heart."

[From ‘Fatawa Islameeya' 4/75]
Translated by Umm Yahya
https://followingthesunnah.com/2017/06/15/a-good-life/

On the authority of Ibn Umar رضي الله عنه who said:

❝A man came to the Prophet [ﷺ] said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah! Which of the people are the most beloved to Allaah and which of the actions are most beloved to Allaah?’

The Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said: ‘The most beloved of the people to Allaah are the most beneficial for the people. The most beloved of actions to Allaah [عز و جل] are to cause happiness to reach a Muslim, to relieve him from a hardship, to settle a debt for a Muslim or to repel hunger from him. For me to walk with a brother in order to assist him is more beloved to me than to make ‘Itikaf in this Masjid [Masjid al-Madeenah] for a month.

Whoever holds back his anger then Allaah hides his mistakes. Whoever suppresses his anger – even though he is not scared to show it, but withholds due to the truth – Allaah fills his heart with hope on the day of Judgement.

Whoever walks with his brother to assist him with a need until he has helped him completely, then Allaah plants his feet firmly on the day people will not stand firmly. Indeed bad behaviour spoils good actions, just as vinegar spoils honey.’❞

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Shaykh Al-Albaani, (No. 906) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

Markaz Mu’aadh (@MarkazMuaadh):
أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبۡدَهُ

"Is not Allaah Sufficient for His servant?" (39:36)

Isn't Allaah sufficient for you to remove your difficulties? So why do many still call upon the dead in their times of difficulties? Because they never made a just estimate of their Lord!

On Debt 💴💵💸💰

It was reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

Whoever takes people’s money with the intention of repaying it, Allaah will help him to repay it;

whoever takes people’s money with the intention of wasting it, Allaah will destroy him.

[al-Bukhaari, 2212]

Young Children are rewarded for Good Deeds

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah -rahimullaah- said :
‘Young children are rewarded for what they do from good deeds, even though the pen has been lifted from them in regards to bad deeds.
As is established in Saheeh Muslim that a woman lifted up her child towards the Prophet ﷺ and asked:
ألهذا حج؟
‘Can he perform Hajj?’
The Prophet answered:
نعم، ولكِ أجر
‘Yes, and you (also) get a reward.’
Collected by Muslim in his book.’
Ibn Taymeeyah continues:
‘. . . . so a young child is rewarded for his prayer, fasting, Hajj as well as other good actions. He is given preference due to that, over the one who does not do good deeds like him.’
[From Majmoo al-Fatawa 4/278]

﷽
قال ابن تيمية رحمه الله :
“والأطفال الصغار يُثابون على ما يفعلونه من الحسنات ، وإن كان القلم مرفوعاً عنهم في السيئات ؛ كما ثبت في الصحيح أن النبي ﷺ رفعت إليه امرأة صبياً فقالت : (ألهذا حج؟ قال : نعم، ولكِ أجر} رواه مسلم في صحيحه.
فالصبي يُثاب على صلاته وصومه وحجه وغير ذلك من أعماله ، ويفضل بذلك على من لم يعمل كعمله”
[مجموع الفتاوى 278/4]

Glad tidings for those who are facing difficulties

And it was narrated that Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “On the Day of Resurrection, when people who had suffered affliction are given their reward, those who were healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2402. See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, no. 2206.

Ja’far al-Ṣadiq’s advice to his son Mūsā al-Khādim:

O’ my son, the one who is satisfied with what he has is truly wealthy, while the one who desires that which another possesses is truly poor.

And know also that whoever exposes people’s sins, his own sins will be exposed.

📋 50 Benefits extracted from the Ayaah of Wudu in Soorah Maidah

👤 By Shaykh AbdulQadir bin Muhammad bin AbdurRahman al-Junayd

O you who believe! When you intend to offer as-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of Janaba (i.e. had a sexual discharge), purify yourself (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a journey or any of you comes from answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (i.e. intercourse) and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allaah does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His Favour on you that you may be thankful. Soorah Al-Ma’idah [5:6]

كانَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليْهِ وسلَّمَ إذا تَهجَّدَ منَ اللَّيلِ قالَ:

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ، وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ حَقٌّ، اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ وَلا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ، وَلا حَولَ ولا قوَّةَ إلَّا بِكَ

صحيح ابن ماجه ١١٢٢ | الشيخ الألباني رحمه الله | صحيح

When the Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ would get up at night to perform the night prayer, _Tahjjud_, he would recite:

“O’ Allāh, to You belongs all praise, You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth and all that is between them. To You belongs all praise, You are the Sustainer of the Heavens and the Earth and all that is between them. To You belongs all praise, You are the Truth, Your promise is true, Your speech is true, the meeting with You is true, Paradise is true, Hell is true, the Prophets are true, Muhammad [صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ] is true and the Final Hour is true. O’ Allāh, to You I submit myself, in You I believe, in You I put my trust, to You I repent, by Your help I strive [against Your enemies] and to You I refer for judgement, therefore forgive me my past and future sins,, what I have hidden and what I have made public.
You are al-Muqaddim, the Expediter, the One Who brings forward, and al-Mu’akhkhir the Delayer, the One Who puts back. None has the right to be worshipped except you and the is no diety [worthy of worship] except You. There is no power or might but with You Allāh.”

Saheeh at-Tirmidhi 1122 | Shaykh al-Albāni رحمه الله | Saheeh

TN: The word _Tahajjud_ derives from _hujūd_, which is doing one thing and then the opposite, therefore the word hajada may mean he slept or it may mean he stayed up at night, which are opposites. The Tahajjud prayer is an optional prayer that is to be performed in the night. It is required that a person sleeps a little before he gets up for the _Tahajjud_ prayer. It can be performed anytime between Ishā and Fajr. For further reading please refer to Tafseer at-Tabari, 10/307

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

In Paradise there is a market to which they would come every Friday. The north wind will blow and would scatter fragrance on their faces and on their clothes and would add to their beauty and loveliness, and then they would go back to their family after having an added lustre to their beauty and loveliness, and their family would say to them: By Allah, you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us, and they would say: By Allah, you have also increased in beauty and loveliness after us.
