The Man Who Never Sinned, Yahya (‘alayhis salām)
The Messenger of Allāh (sallá Allāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam) said:
“There is none from children of Adam except that he has sinned or considered sinning; except Yahya ibn Zakariyah.”
[From the Hadīth of ibn Abbās collected by Imām Ahmad (2294) declared authentic by Imām al-Albāni]
Imām ash-Shāfi’ī (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said:
“We don’t know of anyone who was granted obedience of Allāh such that he did not mix it with sins except Yahya ibn Zakariyah.
[The History of Damascus (8/195)]
Allāh the Exalted said concerning His slave and Prophet Zakariyah (peace be upon him):
So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, “Indeed, Allāh gives you good tidings of Yahya, confirming a word from Allāh and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the righteous.”
[Soorah 'Āl ‘Imrān 3:39]
al-Qādhī ibn Iyyād (may Allah have mercy upon him) said this means he was free from sin; as though he was blocked or prevented from committing sins. And it has been said this means he did not have desire for women.
[ash-Shafa (1/88)]
Allāh the Exalted said:
“(It was said to his son): ‘O Yahya! Hold fast the Scripture.’ And We gave him wisdom while yet a child. And (made him) sympathetic to men as a mercy from Us, and pure and he was righteous, and dutiful towards his parents, and he was neither an arrogant nor disobedient.
[Soorah Maryam 19:12-15]
ibn Jarīr (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said: ‘pure’ means he was pure from sins, he only used his body to obey Allāh. ibn Abbās (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: ‘pure and righteous’ means he never sinned.

The Rights of the Father upon his Son
Shaykh Ḥammād ibn Muḥammad al-Anṣārī رحمه الله mentioned a narration in which al-Layth ibn Sa'ad - D. 175H - رحمه الله said:
The father has ten rights over his son:
1. When he needs food, he feeds him.
2. When he needs clothing, he clothes him if he is able to and this is some of the explanations of Allāh's statement:
وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًۭا
"Behave with them kindly in the world." • [31:15]
3. When one of his parents needs his service, he serves them.
4. When he calls him, he replies and attends to him.
5. When he commands him to do an affair, he obeys him as long as it is not an act of disobedience [to Allāh] or backbiting.
6. To speak with him with kind, soft, lenient speech.
7. To not address him by his name.
8. To walk behind him.
9. To love for him what he loves for himself and dislike for him what he dislikes upon himself.
10. To supplicants for mercy for him.

✨ *The 10 Ways of Obtaining the Love of Allaah سبحانه و تعالى*✨
🥀🍃🥀🍃🥀🍃🥀🍃🥀
✔Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzaan (حفظه الله) listed the 10 ways of obtaining the Love of Allaah as mentioned by:
✍🏼Ibnul Qayyim (رحمه الله تعالى):
*1.* Reading the Qur’aan, pondering over it and understanding it with its intended meanings.
*2.* Drawing closer to Allaah سبحانه و تعالى with the nawaafil (supererogatory acts of worship) after the [fulfillment of the] obligatory acts.
*3.* Constant remembrance of Allaah سبحانه و تعالى in all situations with the tongue, the heart, and the action [of the limbs].
*4.* Preferring that which Allaah سبحانه و تعالى loves over what the servant loves when the fulfillment of the two conflict.
*5.* Contemplation over the Names and Attributes of Allaah and what they indicate [of His] perfection and magnificence. And also [contemplating over] what they contain from praiseworthy implications.
*6.* Contemplation over both the hidden and apparent blessings of Allaah, while bearing witness to His kindness, favor, and distribution of His grace upon His servants.
*7.* Humbling oneself and wholly submitting to Allaah while admitting one’s dire need of Him.
*8.* Seclusion with Allaah سبحانه و تعالى at the time of His Divine descent [that is befitting of His perfection and glory] in the last third of the night. And reciting the Qur’aan at this time and concluding it by making tawbah (repentance) and istighfaar (seeking forgiveness).
*9.* Sitting with the people of goodness and integrity, those who love Allaah, and benefiting from their speech.
*10.* Distancing oneself from any distracting means that would hinder the heart from Allaah [and His remembrance].

Al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad said: “We were on a journey with Ibn al-Mubārak, and I was always asking myself: what is so special about this man that he is so famous? If he prays, so do we. If he fasts, so do we. If he fights, so do we. If he makes Ḥajj, so do we.
عن القاسم بن محمد قال: كنا نسافر مع ابن المبارك فكثيراً ما كان يخطر ببالي فأقول في نفسي: بأي شيء فضل هذا الرجل علينا حتى اشتهر في الناس هذه الشهرة؟ إن كان يصلي إنا نصلي، ولئن يصوم إنا لنصوم، وإن كان يغزو فإنا لنغزو، وإن كان يحج إنا لنحج.
One night, we spent the night in a house travelling on the way to Shām. The lamp went out, and some of us woke up. So, he took the lamp outside to light it, and stayed outside for a while. When he came back in with the lamp, I caught a glimpse of Ibn al-Mubārak’s face, and saw that his beard was wet with his tears. I said to myself: “This fear of Allāh is what has made this man better than us. When the lamp went out and we were in darkness, he remembered the Day of Resurrection.”
قال: فكنا في بعض مسيرتنا في طريق الشام ليلة نتعشى في بيت إذ طفئ السراج فقام بعضنا فأخذ السراج وخرج يستصبح فمكث هينهة ثم جاء بالسراج فنظرت إلى وجه ابن المبارك ولحيته قد ابتلت من الدموع، فقلت في نفسي: بهذه الخشية فضل هذا الرجل علينا، ولعله حين فقد السراج فصار إلى الظلمة ذكر القيامة.

◇☆◇☆The Du'a◇☆◇☆
[Imam al-Qurtubi] say: The du'a is good whatever form is made easy, and what is sought from mankind is to demonstrate a position of poverty and need before Allāh عز وجل, to humble oneself in submission to Him.
So if one wishes to face the Qiblah and raise the hands, then fine. And if one doesn’t wish to do so, then he has done what is reported of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in the ahadeeth. And Allāh has said, "call upon your Lord in humility and privacy." And raising the hands or other things were not intended by that.
And He سبحانه وتعالى said, "Those who remember Allāh standing and sitting"[3:191] - so he commended them and did not stipulate their condition other than what was mentioned.
And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would make du'a in his Khutbah on Fridays and he was not facing the Qiblah.

Two Affairs Divide The Muslims
Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān حفظه الله إيمانه said: "Nothing divides the Muslims except for two affairs:
1. The first is rebelling against the Muslim ruler and disobeying him.
2. And the second is rebelling against (i.e. opposing) the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ by way of innovations and newly invented matters in the religion.”

There are seventy-two types of riba, the least of which is like a man committing incest with his mother.”

Common Mistakes — Saying ‘In-shaa-Allaah” After Du’aa
From the etiquettes of du’â is having resolve and not connecting your du’â with the will of Allâh.
Do not say: O Allâh, forgive me if You will; have mercy upon so-and-so if You will (i.e., In-shâ-Allâh).
If someone supplicates for you, do not say “In-shâ-Allâh”; rather say “Âmîn”.
If someone says to you, “May Allâh reward you with good,” then say “Âmîn”.
If someone says, “May Allâh forgive you,” then say “Âmîn”.
The Prophet (salAllâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
When one of you supplicates, he should supplicate with resolve in his du’â and he should not say, “O Allâh, bestow upon me if you will (i.e., In-shâ-Allâh), for there is none to coerce Allâh.

THE FLUCTUATIONS OF TIME ARE TESTS FROM ALLĀH
Glory is to Allāh Who subjects His slaves (to trials) in order to test their patience and expose their true nature in times of hardship!
Angels prostrated to Adam ('alayhi as-salām), while shortly thereafter he was expelled from Paradise (jannah).
Nūh ('alayhi as-salām) was beaten until fainted, while shortly thereafter he was rescued in the ark, and his enemies were destroyed.
Ibrāhīm ('alayhi as-salām) was thrown in the fire, and then came out to safety (salāma).
Isma'eel ('alayhi as-salām) lied down in surrender to be slaughtered, then he came to safety, and his praise remained.
Ya'qūb ('alayhi as-salām) lost his eyesight after losing his son, and then he regained it after reuniting with his son.
Mūsā ('alayhi as-salām) was a shepherd, and then was elevated to a rank where he spoke to Allāh (taqlīm).
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was an orphan and faced many hardships from his enemies, and from financial difficulties; yet he persevered and was firm as a mountain. After his objective was fulfilled and when he conquered Makkah, the Angel of death came to him and took his soul while going through the pangs of death.
Whoever observes the sea of life, knows how its waves should be received and know how to be patient while dealing the changing days, will not panic when calamity (bilā') strikes. And will not become overly happy when good times (rikhā') arrive immediately.

● [شرح مسلم]
Ibn Ḥajar رحمه الله was asked: “Is it permissible to pray Ṣalāt ar-Raghā
ib in congregation or not?”, he said: “.. It is an innovation which is disliked and condemned, the Ḥadīth regarding it is fabricated and it is not permissible to act upon it (i.e pray it) be it individually or in congregation.”
● [الفتاوى الفقهية الكبرى ١\٢١٦]
Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله: “This (Ṣalāt ar-Raghāib) is not prescribed in Islām, that is is the agreement of the Imāms of Islām and also this is what has been stated by the respected scholars of this Ummah, no one allowed it except for an ignorant innovator, for innovations as such open the door to altering the Sharī'ah of Deen, this prayer was not offered by the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ nor any Companion nor any Tabi'ī nor any Imām, the scholar have a consensus upon it that the Ḥadīth regarding this prayer that has been narrated from the Prophet ﷺ is a fabricated lie, hence ‘Ulamā said it is *forbidden* (to offer this prayer) and it is not recommended.” ● [الفتاوى الكبرى ٢\٢٣٩-٢٦٢]
Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله: “Ṣalāt ar-Raghā`ib is a fabricated lie upon the Prophet ﷺ, had it been prescribed the Salaf would not be unaware of it, and it (this innovation) was introduced after 400 Ḥijrī.”
● [الموسوعة الفقهية ٢\٢٦٢]
Shaykh al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: As for what is called Salāh ar-Raghā'ib which comprises of 1000 rak'ah that is prayed on the first night of Rajab or the first friday nightnof Rajab, then this is also not correct and it is not legislated (by the Sharī'ah)."
● [لقاء الباب المفتوح ٢١٧]
Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said: "As for salāh, then there is nothing authentic confirmed in the month of Rajab that is specific and specified to this month. And the ahādīth that were reported about the eminence of Salāh at-Ragā'ib on the first Friday night in the month of Rajab are lies and falsehood - they are not authentic. And this salāh is an innovation, as deemed by the majority of the 'Ulamā'."
