Hadeeth Number Thirty-Six:

The Virtue of Reciting the Qur’aan & Remembering Allaah Together


On the authority of Aboo Hurayrah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said:

“Whoever removes a grief from a believer from amongst the sorrows of this life, Allaah will remove a grief from him amongst the sorrows of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever brings ease to one in difficulty, Allaah will make it easy for him in this life and the Hereafter. Whoever covers a Muslim, Allaah will cover him in this life and the Hereafter. Allaah is in aid of the servant so long as the servant is in aid of his brother. Whoever traverses a path seeking knowledge, Allaah will make a path to Paradise easy for him. No people gather in one of the houses of Allaah reciting the Book of Allaah and studying it amongst themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelopes them, the Angels surround them, and Allaah mentions them amongst those who are with Him. Whosoever is slowed down by his actions will not be sped forward by his lineage.” (Related by Muslim with this wording)*

Sakhr b. Ġāmidī narrated that the Prophet ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam said, “Allāhumā bārik li ʾummatī fī bukūrihā” (O Allāh, bless my ummah in the early portion of their days).

Whenever he sent out a detachment or an army, he would do so in the beginning of the day.

Ṣakhr was a businessman. He would send his merchandise at the beginning of the day, so he became rich and acquired a lot of wealth.“

Abū Dāwūd said, ”He is Ṣakhr b. Wadāʿah."

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ حَدِيدٍ، عَنْ صَخْرٍ الْغَامِدِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً أَوْ جَيْشًا بَعَثَهُمْ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ صَخْرٌ رَجُلاً تَاجِرًا وَكَانَ يَبْعَثُ تِجَارَتَهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَأَثْرَى وَكَثُرَ مَالُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ صَخْرُ بْنُ وَدَاعَةَ ‏.‏

*His Heart Is Imprisoned*

Shamsuddeen Muhammad Bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah [D.751 A.H.] [رحمه الله] said:

❝From the greatest means for the constraint of the heart is: Turning away from Allaah [تعالى], and attaching the heart to other than Him. Being negligent of His remembrance, and loving other than Him, since whoever loved something other than Allaah then he is punished with that thing. His heart is imprisoned in loving that other thing. So there is none in this world who is more wretched than him, and none more in a gloomier situation, nor a more miserable survival, nor any one with a more tired / sick heart.❞

[Zaad al-Ma’ad By Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, (2/25) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

The Circles and Gatherings of Knowledge Are Indeed the Gardens of Paradise in This World | Shaykh ʿAbd ar-Razzāq ibn ʿAbd al-Muḥsin al-ʿAbbād

A brief article extolling the virtues of sitting in the gatherings of knowledge, the gardens of paradise in this world.

Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) said:
“Whoever would like to reside [in] the gardens of Paradise in this world, let him take up residency [in] the gatherings of remembrance, for verily, they are the gardens of Paradise.”
[Shaykh ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-ʿAbbād, Fiqh al-Ad‘iyah Wa-al-Adhkar vol. 1, pg. 29.]


Shaykh ʿAbd ar-Razzāq al-ʿAbbad (hafidhahullāh) said:

Verily, the gatherings of remembrance are the gardens of Paradise in this world.

Imam Aḥmad, at-Tirmidhī and others narrated on the authority of Anas ibn Mālik (raḍi Allāhu ͑anhū) that the Messenger of Allah (ṣallallāhu ͑ alayhī wa-sallam) said: “When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, then feast.” They said: “And what are the gardens of Paradise?” He said: “The circles of remembrance.”[2]

[Furthermore,] Ibn Abī ad-Dunyā and al-Ḥakīm and others have [also] narrated this from the Ḥadith of Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (raḍi Allāhu ͑anhū) who said: “The Messenger (ṣallallāhu ͑ alayhī wa-sallam) came to us and said: ‘O people! Feast in the gardens of Paradise.’ So we said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ͑ alayhī wa-sallam)! What are the gardens of Paradise?’ He said: ‘The gatherings of remembrance.’ Then he said: ‘Remember Allāh in the morning and in the evening, and whoever wishes to know his status with Allāh then let him look to see what Allāh’s status with him is. For indeed, Allāh gives the slave the status the slave has given Him for himself.’”[3] This Ḥadith is ḥasān by virtue of the two aforementioned chains.[4]

Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) said: “Whoever would like to reside [in] the gardens of Paradise in this world, let him take up residency [in] the gatherings of remembrance, for verily, they are the gardens of Paradise.”[5]

The Ruling on Benefitting from Christmas and New Year’s Sales

Addicted to Playstation or Xbox or Pubg??

If one day...

Muḥammad bin 'Abdillāh bin Zinji al-Baghdādi recited the following poetry to me:

If one day a friend apologizes to you

For a shortcoming, the excuse or a brother is accepted;

So spare him from your harshness and forgive him,

Because tolerance is a quality of every noble man.

💡 Let's live like our Role Modelﷺ

🕌 Practice What You Preach

☪️ The Messenger of Allahﷺ said: “A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the Fire; his intestines will spill forth in the Fire and he will go around them as a donkey goes around the millstone.

The people of Hell will gather around him and will say: O So and so, what is the matter with you? Did you not enjoin us to do what is good and forbid us to do what is evil?

He will say: Yes, but I used to enjoin good and not do it, and I used to forbid evil and do it.”

📜 Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3267) and Muslim (2989)

🔖 The Prophet (Sall Allahu Aleihi Wa Salam) stated:
"No one has ever eaten any food that is better than eating what his hands have earned.And indeed the Prophets of Allah , Dawud, would eat from the earnings of his hannds"
📙(al-Bukhari (1410) and others) (Prophet Dawud (Aleyhi Salam- was making armour and selling it)

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"الحزن يُضعفُ القلب، ويُوهنُ العزمَ ويَضرُ الإرادة، ولا شيء أحب إلى الشيطان من حزن المؤمن، لذلك افرحوا واستبشروا وتفاءلوا، وأحسنوا الظن بالله، و ثقوا بما عند الله، وتوكلوا عليه، وستجدون السعادة والرضا."

"Sadness weakens the heart, diminishes confidence and harms willpower, and there is nothing more beloved to the Shaytān than the sadness of a believer, so for this reason rejoice and be optimistic, think well of Allāh, trust that which is with Allāh and rely only upon him, and you will find happiness and contentment."

✒ Allāh Protects His Believing Servants From The Trials Of This World And The Hereafter

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن الله تعالى ليحمي عبده المؤمن من الدنيا وهو يحبه ، كما تحمون مريضكم الطعام والشراب تخافون عليه

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Verily Allāh Ta'ālā protects His believing servant from the (wealth and share) of the Dunyā out of His love for him just like you protect your sick from (too much) food and drink out of fear (of harm) for him.”

● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير ١٨١٤ ، صححه الألباني]

Sh. al-Fawzān said: "How can one taste the sweetness of salāh when his heart and mind are occupied by other thoughts?!”
‎
‎● [‎شرح زاد المستقنع ١/١٧٧]

“If you see that you reject the truth if it comes from a specific source, and you accept falsehood if it comes from a specific source, and you consider falsehood to be the truth: then know that your heart is diseased.”

إذا رأيت نفسك أنك ترفض الحق إذا جاء من جهة معينة، وتقبل الباطل إذا جاء من جهة معينة، وتجعله حقًا ؛ فاعلم أن قلبك مريض

@1MMeducation @SalafiDawahCt @sirajunmunira Also during late antiquity Christianity became Rome’s state religion, & relics (bones, etc.) of the “Saints” like Santa Clause were unearthed & relocated to shrines, where they were prayed to & had ancient pagan holidays repurposed in commemoration of them. i.e. deification

Imām ibn al-Jawzee رحمه الله said:

“When you sit in the darkness of the night between the Hands of your Master, then adopt the behaviour of children. For indeed, the child when he seeks something from his father, and is not given it, he cries over it [profusely].”

Translation: Authentic Quotes

Abu Darda reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Shall I not tell you of what is better in degree than extra fasting, prayer, and charity?” They said, “Of course!” The Prophet said, “Reconciliation between people. Verily, corrupted relations between people is the razor.”
