Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said,

"Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are:

1. a just ruler;

2. a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his childhood),

3. a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational Salāt (prayers) in the mosques);

4. two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only;

5. a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah;

6. a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity).

7. a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears."

[📚 Sahih al-Bukhari, vol. 2, Hadith 1423 | Translated by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan]

"Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an.

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone."

• [72:1-2]

Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān Ḥafiẓahullāh said: "One is indeed astonished! If the Jinn are affected by the Qur'ān and grow more fearful because of it, what then is the case with humans, most of whom turn away from it?

🍂 The Relief From Distress 🍂

An Explanation to the du‘ā of Prophet Yūnus عليهم السلام

🎓By: Shaykhu'l-Islām ibn 'Taymiyyah - رحمه الله -

Prophet Yūnus (‘alayhi as-Salam) spent many years calling his people to worship Allāh alone, and to abandon their sinful ways. Only a few people believed in his message; finally, in despair, Yūnus supplicated to Allāh that His punished descends upon his nation.

He was commanded by Allāh to preach to his people for a further forty days, when three days remained he proclaimed amongst his people that punishment would afflict them in three days and he fled. His people gathered together and agreed that Yūnus was a pious person who was not known to lie, and when they saw that he had indeed fled, they became certain of the imminent punishment and repented, so Allāh forgave them and showed them mercy.

When Yūnus came to know that Allāh forgave his people, fearing disgrace and being called a liar, he embarked upon a ship, before long the ship was overcome with a bad weather, as a result, he was thrown into the sea and swallowed by a huge whale.


In the stomach of the whale, he called upon his Lord in pitch darkness, “There is none worthy of worship save You! Glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been among the wrongdoers.” Allāh responded to him and rescued him from grief, and the whale spews him out onto the beach.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The dua of my brother Yūnus, “None has the right to be worshiped save You; glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers,’ none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allāh would relieve him of his difficulty.”

There is No Supplication that a Person Can Say that is Better Than …”

The Prophet ﷺ said, “There is no supplication that a person can say that is better than:

‘O Allaah! I ask You for al-Mu’aafaah* in this world and the Hereafter.’” *(‘Mu’aafaah is for Allaah to suffice you against needing the people, and sufficing the people of having need of you. See Tuhfatul-Ahwadhi, 3512.)

Allaahumma inni as’alukal-Mu’aafaah fid-Dunyaa wal-Aakhirah

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فِيْ الْدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ

"There is nothing in Shari`ah which permits the celebration of birthdays, whether that of the Prophet (peace be upon him) or any other"

In the beginning of his explanation of surah Yusuf [12], Imam al-Baghawi mentions the following statement:

[وقال ابن عطاء : لا يسمع سورة يوسف محزون إلا استراح إليها . ]

Ibn 'Ataa' said, "A sorrowful person cannot listen to surah Yusuf without finding some comfort in it."

[Tafsir al-Baghawi 4/212]

Acts are According to their Intention...

According to the principle (acts are judged by the intention behind them) : a preacher should not forget what Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - said:

"If the person who speaks the truth intends (with that) being uppermost in the land (over the people) and/or causing corruption therein, then he is on the same level as the one who fights out of fanaticism and showing off. On the other hand, if the person speaks (the truth) sincerely for the sake of Allāh, making the religion for Him (Alone), he is from the Mujāhidīn (i.e. those who strive) on the path of Allāh; (he is from the) inheritors of the Prophets (and) the successors of the Messengers."

( لو تكلم - المتكلم بالحق - بحق لقصد العلو في الأرض أو الفساد كان بمنزلة الذي يُقاتل حمية ورياء، وإن تكلم لأجل الله تعالى مخلصًا له الدين كان من المجاهدين في سبيل الله، من ورثة الأنبياء، خُلفاء الرسل ).
