Shaykh 'Abdul-'Aziz ibn Baaz - 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]

Jinn Possession
One of the abilities of the jinn is the ability to ‘touch’ or ‘possess’ a person The proof of this is Allah’s statement: “Those who eat Ribaa will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaytaan (Satan) leading him to insanity” 2:275 it is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The Shaytaan flows through the son of Adam as his blood flows…“ In more than one narration, a child was presented to the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and he would say words similar to, “Get out O enemy of Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah” [Musnad Ahmad] A person is most vulnerable to possession at times when they forget Allah – like times of extreme emotion, especially anger A person is also vulnerable in places which are unclean or isolated This is why we have du’aa to say upon entering the bathroom, upon engaging in sexual intercourse, and upon visiting a new place, all of the du’aa are related to keeping the shaytaan away from us at these times and places It is suggested that the jinn inhibit the artery in the neck, as well as the womb, and that they enter through the fingers and toes. However, this is a theory, and while there is a quite a lot of evidence, only Allah truly knows.

✒ *Beware Of Oppressing A Soul*
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : الظلم ثلاثة : فظلم لا يغفره الله ، وظلم يغفره ، وظلم لا يتركه ؛ فأما الظلم الذي لا يغفره الله فالشرك ، قال الله : إن الشرك لظلم عظيم ، وأما الظلم الذي يغفره فظلم العباد أنفسهم فيما بينهم وبين ربهم ، وأما الظلم الذي لا يتركه الله فظلم العباد بعضهم بعضاً حتى يدير لبعضهم من بعض
The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Oppression is of three types:
• Oppression that Allāh does not forgive
• Oppression that He forgives
• Oppression that He holds off from
So as for oppression which Allāh does not forgive then it is Shirk (polytheism), Allāh says: 'Verily, ash-Shirk (joining others with Allāh in worship) is a great oppression.' • [al-Qur’ān 31:13],
And as for oppression which He forgives then it is the oppression of slaves upon themselves in what is between them and their Lord (i.e any sin less than major Shirk),
And as for oppression which Allāh holds off from then it is the oppression of slaves upon each other *UNTIL* it is settled between themselves (i.e until the oppressed one is compensated).”

Sheikh Al-‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
When you see the people crowding at the doors of hospitals but they are not concerned with the doors of the Masaajid, then know that the situation is bad.
Because the struggling and concern the people have for finding a cure for their physical sickness instead of (finding a cure for the) sickness of the heart is proof that there is a setback. And we seek refuge in Allaah.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection.
Whoever helps ease someone in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter.
Whoever covers the faults of a Muslim, Allah will cover his faults in this world and in the Hereafter.
Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother.
Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise, for a people do not gather together in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying together, except that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those with Him.
Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage."

Listening To The Qur’an
The one listening to the Qur'an is a participant with the reader in every letter which incurs a good deed, and every good deed is equivalent to ten the like of it.

🌾The Story of how the Mother of Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه Became Muslim
📍What follows is a tremendous example of striving patiently and persistently for the guidance of others, particularly family members, trusting in Allah, making du'a.
📌Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه stated: "I used to invite my mother to Islam whilst she was a polytheist. One day I was inviting her (giving her da'wah to accept Islam) and she said something to me (in response) regarding the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم that I hated. So I came to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم weeping (from sadness) and I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Indeed I used to invite my mother to Islam (regularly) and she would refuse, and I invited her (gave her da'wah) today and she said something regarding you that I hated, so make du'a to Allah that He guides the mother of Abu Huraira".
📌So the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم said, "O Allah, guide the mother of Abu Huraira".
So I exited happy due to the du'a of the Prophet of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم (like the one given a glad-tidings). So when I arrived and approached the door, it was actually locked, and my mother heard my footsteps and said, "Remain in your place O Abu Huraira!", and I heard the sound of water trickling. She made Ghusl and wore her garment and quickly covered her head then opened the door, then she said, "O Abu Huraira! I bear testification that there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah and I bear witness that Mohammad is his servant and Messenger".
📌So I returned to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم and (this time) I was shedding tears from joy and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, glad tidings to you, Allah has answered your du'a and guided the mother of Abu Huraira!" So he صلى الله عليه و سلم praised Allah, and mentioned goodness....."
