Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn رحمه ألله

If you see yourself deteriorate, pick yourself up by repenting and seeking Allaah’s forgiveness and by asking Him to keep you firm.
And don’t become careless, and neither say: “In shaa Allaah, my eemaan will become stronger” (without doing anything about it). Instead from right now — from the moment you feel that you are ill — you must implement the cure.

*Tafsīr Sūrah an-Nisā (v. 2, p. 53)*

🍃 Steps in Cultivating Children and Family upon the Sunnah

HOW CAN TWO WHO LOVE EACH OTHER FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH SPLIT APART? ....

Narrated Anas ibn Mālik and ascribed to the Prophet (salallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam): "There are no two people who love each other for Allah's sake and then they split apart except due to a sin that one of them commits."

(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 401, As-Sahīhah 637)

The believer speaks little and does alot, whereas the hypocrite (munāfiq) speaks a lot and does little. When the believer speaks, it is with wisdom; when he is silent, it is in deep thought; when he sees, he takes lessons; and when he acts, it is a cure. If this is the way you are, then you are in the constant worship (of your Lord).

[al-Fuḍayl ibn ‘Ayyāḍ (Rahimahullah) | Abū Nu’aym (Rahimahullah) in Ḥilyatu Al-Awliyā’, 8:98]

Ibn Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him:

Being upon the Sunnah is more virtuous than an abundance of (good) deeds. For this, Allaah, the Most High said: (translation) "...that He may test you which of you is best in deed." {Al-Mulk:2}
And He did not say: more (in deed)

For example: The Sunnah of Fajr is prescribed to be light. So if a person said: I want to lengthen the recitation and to lengthen the bowing and the prostrating.
And another said: I will pray the Sunnah of Fajr as two light (i.e short) rak'ah.
Then the second is better, because he did the Sunnah and following the Sunnah is better.

The Characteristics of the Prayer: 169

The Shaykh - رحمه الله - said, “Visiting the sick.” This is the right of the sick person upon his brothers. They take advantage of visiting him by supplicating for him to be healed and recover. They invigorate him and give him optimism.

The Shaykh said, “Following the funeral procession for the prayer and burial.” This is from the rights of the Muslim upon his brothers, and it results in a tremendous reward. The Prophet ﷺ said:

مَنْ شَهِدَ الْجَنَازَةَ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ ، وَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا حَتَّى تُدْفَنَ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ . قِيلَ : وَمَا الْقِيرَاطَانِ ؟ قَالَ : مِثْلُ الْجَبَلَيْنِ الْعَظِيمَيْنِ.

❝Whoever accompanies the funeral (the dead body) until he performs the funeral prayer will have a reward equal to one qīrāt, and whoever accompanies the burial procession will be doubly rewarded (with two qīrāt).❞ They then asked, “What is meant by the two qīrāt?” He ﷺ replied, ❝Like two huge mountains.❞ [1]

*Some Reasons Why Some Who Know The Truth Still Reject It*


Ibn Taimiyyah [رحمه الله] said:

❝A person might know that the truth is [found] with someone else; despite this, he outwardly denies that [truth] due to his envy for him, his wanting to be in a higher position above him, or [his having] desires in [his] soul.❞

[Majmūʿ Al-Fatāwá, (7/191) | Translated By Mikail ibn Mahboob Ariff]

Help”
-
Please read and share,
-
Unfortunately on the platform brothers are direct messaging sisters “for help” and their intentions aren’t actually what they seem to be what they’re saying. Actually it’s far from it and disgusting.
-
Brothers wallahi you do not need to go to a sister for help when their are already loads of brothers, who are great in knowledge and far better in knowledge on the platform. All the questions you are about to ask to this sisters can be easily answered by a brother. There’s too many brothers going to sisters and ending up flirting with them and then I’m getting direct messages saying “I love her” and after I found out what’s really happened and your private messages have disgusting messages all over it.
-
Sisters please be more strict with your haya when a brother direct messages you. Take it from a brother their either trying to free mix with you or even if the brothers sincere the waswas from the shaytaan will lead him to have disgusting thoughts. So it’s better for you to either blank the man or send him to a brother who can help.
-
And to the brothers who direct message sisters in a way that looks sincere but really they want to pass time and pleasure themselves, FEAR ALLAH. As he deserves to be FEARED.

The Diagnosis and the Cure

It is reported that Qatādah – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Verily the Qurān guides you to your disease and your treatment: as for your disease, it is your sins; and as for your treatment, it is to seek the forgiveness of Allāh.

Al-Bayhaqī, Shuʿab Al-Īmān 9:347 no. 6745.

From Anas b. Mālik رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by a tree with dry leaves, so he struck it with his staff making the leaves fall then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Indeed (saying) Alḥamdulillaah and SubḥaanAllaah and Laa Ilaaha Illallaah and Allaahu Akbar remove from the sins of the slave just like the leaves fall from this tree.”

● [سنن الترمذي رقم ٣٥٣٣ وصحيح الجامع رقم ١٦٠١ ، خلاصة حكم المحدث (الألباني) : حسن]

Prophet Dawud عليه السلام said,

"Be like a merciful father towards the orphan.

Know that you will reap as you sow.
How ugly poverty is after wealth! More than that: how ugly is misguidance after guidance!

When you make a promise to your friend, fulfil your promise. If you do not, it will bring about enmity between you and him.

Seek refuge in Allah from a companion who, when you mention something to him, does not help you and who does not remind you when you forget.

[Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 138 ]

A Happy And Smiling Face


Ibn Battaal said:

‏«انَّ لقاء النَّاس بالتَّبسُّم وطلاقة الوجه من ‏أخلاق النُّبوة وهو مناف للتكبُّر، وجالب للمودَّة»

❝Verily, greeting people with a smile and a happy face is from the prophetic manners, it removes arrogance, and attracts love.❞

[From Explanation of Saheeh Bukhari, (5/193) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

Would You Like To Be From The People Of Al-Firdaws?

"Who amongst you would like to be from the people of the highest Firdaws?

 All of you abi?

 Do you want me to mention to you the characteristics which will make you from the people of the highest Firdaws? 

shall I give you six or seven characteristics?

 They are seven, which will make you enter the highest Firdaws. Write, for perhaps you might forget. Write, for it is very important. Unless you don't want the highest Firdaws.

Firstly: Faith.

Secondly: Khushu' in the prayer. What do i think about the second characteristic, do you possess it? Khushu' in the prayer. What does to have Khushu' in the prayer mean? That you perform it (the prayer) with tranquility, that you reflect on the meaning of what you are reciting, about the meaning of Subhān Allāh, Subhāna Rabbiyal 'Adhīym, Subhāna Rabbiyal 'A'lā, AlLāhu Akbar etc, and that you perform it in the same manner of that of the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him. Easy?

Thirdly: To turn away from Al-Laghw and speech and actions which have no benefit. Any statement which does not benefit you in this life nor in the hereafter then leave it so that you may be from the people of the highest Firdaws. Speaking about this one or that one and talking about that which does not bring about any benefit or games that people play, leave it because it is Laghw. So do you know now what the third characteristic is?

Fourthly: That the one who possesses wealth pays the Zakāh. The Zakāh is compulsory on that wealth.

Fifthly: Safeguarding your private parts. Watch out! Your private parts, yes your private parts!

Sixthly: Trusts and testimonies. That you carry them out properly. Anything you have been entrusted over, your work, your studies, if you have been entrusted with something, if someone requests from you to take care of something, then all of these are an Amānah (trusts, responsibilities). 

And seventhly and lastly: To strictly keep carrying out the prayers continuously (in their ordained times). Fajr, Dhuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib and 'Ishā'.

How many characteristics? Seven. Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic, says:
​
"Successful indeed are the believers.Those who offer their Salāt (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allāh has forbidden).And those who pay the Zakāh .And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors;Those who are faithfully true to their Amānat (all the duties which Allāh has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts etc.) and to their covenants;And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawāt (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours).These are indeed the inheritors. Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever." [Sūrah Al-Mu'minūn 23:1-11].

I ask Allāh to make us from the people of Al-Firdaws, I ask Allāh to aid us against our own souls and to make us from the people of Al-Firdaws. 

That's all, and Allāh knows best. May Allāh send abundant peace and blessings upon our beloved Prophet, his family, companions and his followers.
Aameen

@hikmahpubs:
The internet is a modern day test.

Some use it for good and beneficial things, for them it is truly a blessing.

Others misuse it and acquire evil deeds & more… https://t.co/XIiwgh8RWR

 Those who have lost their job, upon them is the Salaah*:

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ

{And seek (Allaah’s) help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allaah]} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 45]

*[Including Salaah, Istighfaar, Tawbah, Taqwa, Tawakkul, Du`aa etc.]

 Those who have lost their wives, upon them is fasting:

Allaah's Messenger ﷺ said: ❝O young men! Whoever among you can afford to marry, should get married, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.❞
[Saheehain]

 And with all this, those who have small children, then they should look at their sins and blame not but themselves:

أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ لَهُ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَأَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَهُ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَاءُ فَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَارٌ فِيهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّـهُ لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ

{Would any of you wish to have a garden with date-palms and vines, with rivers flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruits for him therein, while he is stricken with old age, and his children are weak (not able to look after themselves), then it (the garden) is struck with a fiery whirlwind containing fire, so that it is burnt? Thus does Allaah make clear His Aayaat (proofs, evidences) to you that you may give thought.}
[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 266]
