Shaykh Sālih al-Fawzān:

It is Harām to eat the slaughtered meats intended for #Mawlid #Mawlid2018 because it is an innovated celebration.

Likewise, any food which is prepared for this festivity is Harām to consume because it was not prepared except to commemorate this bid’ah.

Will Allāh Punish Me For Praying?? | An Excellent Reply To Mawlid Celebrators.

‎روى البيهقي بسند صحيح عن سعيد بن المسيب أنَّه رأىٰ رجلاً يصلي بعد طلوع الفجر أكثر من ركعتين، يكثر فيها الركوع والسجود ؛ فنهاه ؛ فقال : يا أبا محمد! أيعذبني الله على الصلاة؟! قال : لا ، ولكن يُعذِّبُك علىٰ خِلافِ السُّنـَّة.

Narrated by al-Bayhaqī with a correct chain of narration that Imām Sa’īd b. Al-Musayyib رحمه الله once saw a man praying more than two (Sunnah) Rak’āt after the beginning of Fajr, making bows and prostrations abundantly in it, so he forbade him.

The man said, “O Abū Muḥammad, is Allāh going to punish me for praying?” the Imām replied: “No, but He will punish you for OPPOSING the Sunnah.”

‎● [المصدر : إرواء الغليل في تخريج أحاديث منار السبيل ٢\٢٣٦]

A golden reply to those who ask “Will Allāh punish us for commemorating the birth of Prophet ﷺ?”, we say YES Allāh will punish those who innovate into His Deen, may Allāh grant us correct understanding of this religion and protect us from all kinds of innovations and misguidance,

Sh. al-Albānī رحمه الله said in its commentary: وهو سلاح قوي على المبتدعة (.. And this narration is a STRONG WEAPON against the innovators).

Ibn رحمه الله Bāz:

Abstaining from Dunyā means avoiding whatever Allāh has forbidden you of it and avoiding that which distracts you from the Ākhirah and abstaining from people means not begging them, if Allāh suffices you then do not beg from people.

● [مجموع الفتاوى ٢٩/٢٣٨]

Markaz Mu’aadh (@MarkazMuaadh):
The fear of the Salaf of a bad end.

The illustrious Imaam- Sufyān ath-Thawree (d.161H) رحمه الله on an occasion wept and said:

"I fear that (my) eemaan will be taken away at the point of death."

Keep to the Qur'an and abandon Hadith. Astagrifullah.

*Beware of this hadith where vr heading oh Muslim*

*Certainly you will follow the ways of those who were before you.”*

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, *"You will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, span by span and cubit by cubit (i.e., inch by inch) so much so that even if they entered a hole of a Lizard 🦎, you would follow them." We said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (Do you mean) the Jews🕍 and the Christians⛪?" He said, "Whom else?"*

🔹“Whenever Your Heart is Heedless”
– Faa’idah Shared by Ustaadh Abdulilaah Lahmami from Shaikh Uthaymeen
-رحمه الله تعالى-


شيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه الله: "وكلما غفل قلبك واندمجت نفسك في الحياة الدنيا؛ فاخرج إلى القبور وتفكر في هؤلاء القوم الذين كانوا بالأمس مثلك على الأرض"

Shaikh Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said: “Whenever your heart is heedless and your soul absorbed in the worldly life, then go forth to the graves and ponder upon the (affair) of those people who were like you on the earth yesterday (or not long ago).

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (RA): A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, "My brother has some Abdominal trouble." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him "Let him drink honey." The man came for the second time and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him, 'Let him drink honey." He came for the third time and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Let him drink honey." He returned again and said, "I have done that ' The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, "Allah has said the truth, but your brother's Abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey." So he made him drink honey and he was cured.

(Bukhari Vol. 7, Book 71, Hadith 588)

🕌 Markaz Muaadh tweeted last year:

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

"By Allaah, I have left you upon a clear white path, its night & day are the same."

[Saheeh Ibn Maajah no.5]

Did the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ever advise his Ummah to celebrate his birthday?

Never, if you love him follow him.

Not one Companion رضي الله عنهم celebrated the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ, who were the most pious of this Ummah after the Prophet ﷺ, who were the most knowledgeable of this Religion, &loved the Prophetﷺ the most, is it possible the #Mawlid escaped them?! حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل

🍽 Can We Celebrate Thanksgiving Because It Is A Cultural Not A Religious Holiday

👤 by Ḥasan Ibn ‘Abd Al-Wahhāb Marzūq al-Bannā حفظه الله

*[Q]*: Is it permissible to sit and eat thanksgiving dinner with non-Muslim relatives? Because this is not a religious holiday, but rather a holiday based on American culture.

*[A]*: Regardless whether it is cultural or not, this is a celebration based upon beliefs and not upon the belief of the Muslims. Whatever celebrations they partake in as disbelievers, whether you refer to it as thanksgiving or other than that, it is not permissible for you to eat with them on that day, it is not permissible for you to eat their food on that day, and it is not permissible for you to celebrate that day in any way, shape or form.

Hamdun al-Qassar, one of the salaf, said:

Allāh is Pure

Ibn al-Qayyim rahmatullahi alaihi mentioned in his book al-Fawaaid:

The Fire was created to melt hard hearts.

“... when blessed, give thanks; when tried, preserve; and when sinful, seek forgiveness. For these three conditions are tokens of the servant’s happiness...”

— Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah [Al-Wabil Al-sayyib pg. 1]

THE MOST DIFFICULT 3 DAYS UPON MANKIND

Sufyān b. 'Uyaynah Raḥimahullāh said: The most loneliest time that the son of Adam will be in is 3 situations:

1. The day he is born and comes to the abode of stress and anxiety (i.e. The world).

2. The night he will sleep with the deceased, so he will live beside neighbors he has never seen the likes of (i.e. The grave).

3. The day he will be raised up (from the dead) and he will witness the likes of that which he never witnessed before (i.e. The Day of Judgement).

Allāh the Most High said to Yaḥya regarding these 3 situations:

"May peace and safety be upon him, the day he is born, the day he dies and the day he will be brought back to life.” • 20:15

Keep this hadith in mind before committing any act of bidah 🚫

Winters Ibadah ⛄

As the clocks go back and we enter the very short days and long nights, take benefit of the following:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ❝Fasting in the winter is the easy prize.❞
[Ahmad (4/335) , Graded sahih by Shykh Albani] ❤

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (‎رحمه الله) commented:

“And the meaning of it being an easy prize is that it is a prize obtained without any battle or effort or hardship. So, the owner of this prize has been given it as a favor without any effort on his part."

He also mentioned, “Winter is the best season for the believer because Allah strengthens his practice in it by making worship easy for him.

This is because in winter, the believer can fast during the day with ease without suffering from hunger and thirst. The days are short and cold, and he therefore doesn’t feel the hardship of fasting.

As for praying at night in the winter due to its long nights, one can have his share of sleep and then get up to pray afterwards and recite all that he usually recites of the Qur’an while he has had enough sleep.

So, he can combine between the sleep that he needs and the usual amount of recitation of the Qur’an that he completes in a day. So, he fulfills the interests of both his religion and the comfort of his body."
[Lata’if al-Ma’arif, (p. 267)] ✨

When it was winter time, ‘Ubayd bin ‘Umayr would say: “O people of the Qur’an! Your nights are now long for you to recite in. So, recite! Your days are now short for you to fast in. So, fast! Night prayer in the winter equals fasting during the day in the summer.”
[Collected by Ibn Abi Shaibah in his Musannaf, (7/172)] 💙

‘Umar bin al-Khattab said: “Winter is the prize of the worshippers.”
[Ahmad reported in ‘az-Zuhd’ (p. 118)] 💎
