On the authority of Ibn Umar radiAllahu anhu who said:

❝A man came to the Prophet [ﷺ] said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah! Which of the people are the most beloved to Allaah and which of the actions are most beloved to Allaah?’

The Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said: ‘The most beloved of the people to Allaah are the most beneficial for the people. The most beloved of actions to Allaah [عز و جل] are to cause happiness to reach a Muslim, to relieve him from a hardship, to settle a debt for a Muslim or to repel hunger from him. For me to walk with a brother in order to assist him is more beloved to me than to make ‘Itikaf in this Masjid [Masjid al-Madeenah] for a month.

Whoever holds back his anger then Allaah hides his mistakes. Whoever suppresses his anger – even though he is not scared to show it, but withholds due to the truth – Allaah fills his heart with hope on the day of Judgement.

Whoever walks with his brother to assist him with a need until he has helped him completely, then Allaah plants his feet firmly on the day people will not stand firmly. Indeed bad behaviour spoils good actions, just as vinegar spoils honey.’❞

Ibn al-Qayyim

"If Allāh forgave the one who gave a severely thirsty dog a drink of water, how much more so for the one who gives drink to the thirsty (human beings), feeds the hungry and clothes the naked?!"

[Uddah As-Sābirīn Pg.489]

For the sake of Allaah or for the sake of Shaitaan?!

Kab ibn Ujarah ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ said: *“A man passed by the Prophet ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ and his Companions were impressed by the man's strength and energy. They said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ , if only this was for the sake of Allaah!’*

The Messenger of Allaah ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ said:

*❝If he goes out to work for the sake of his young children, he is striving for the sake of Allaah;*

*if he goes out to work for the sake of his aged parents, he is striving for the sake of Allaah;*

*if he goes out to work to keep himself from having to beg, he is striving for the sake of Allaah;*

*but if he goes out to work for the purposes of showing off and boasting, then he is striving in the way of the Shaytaan.❞*

Upon the authority of Jaabir Ibn Abdullah [رضي الله عنه] who said: the Messenger [ﷺ] said:

❝'Indeed I was shown Lailatul Qadr then I was made to forget it. It is in the last ten nights [of Ramadhān] and it is a bright night, neither hot or cold..' in the version of Az Zayaadee it mentions concerning the brightness of the night: '..as though there is in it the type of moon that overpowers the stars [in brightness]..' then in both versions the messenger said: 'Devils on that night will not be able to come out until fajr.'❞

In This Month, Allāh Relieves Every Sad And Troubled One

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said: "O my dear brother, in this month, all faults and mistakes are concealed, all souls and hearts are softened, sins and burdens are forgiven and Allāh ﷻ relieves every sad and troubled one.

He ﷻ says to His angels,

"O My Angels, look at those dry tongues, how they become moist with My remembrance. Look at those hard eyes, how they soften and weep out of fear of Me; and look at those delicate feet planted firmly at the stations of prayer out of desire for Me!'

O my dear brother, whenever you give food to others in this month for the sake of Allāh, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, you shall be raised to high ranks in the lofty grounds of paradise, and you will be clothed with complete goodness and stripped of all sin..."

A Warning Against Only Seeking The Dunyā on Laylatul Qadr

Al-'Allāmah Ibn Bādīs رحمه الله said: "The intent for Laylatul Qadr should be for the Dīn (Religion); not the Dunyā (Worldly Life). Many of the laypeople hope that they would know when Laylatul Qadr is, so that they might seek the Dunyā with it. Therefore, whoever has had this inclination, them [he should] repent to Allāh from falling into this evil danger. Indeed, Allāh said in His Noble Book, "Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter - We increase for him in his harvest. And whoever desires the harvest of this world - We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share." • [42:20]

We do not denounce the one who seeks the Dunyā through the means that Allāh Ta'āla has made for it. Rather, we denounce the one whose concern is for the Dunyā, excluding the Ākhirah (afterlife); such that he eagerly awaits Laylatul Qadr in order to seek the Dunyā from it, while neglecting the Ākhirah.

Abū Bakr b. ʿAbd Allāh said, “A slave never says alḥamdulillāh one time except that he must receive a blessing for his saying alḥamdulillāh.” So what is the proper response to that blessing? Its response is to say alḥamdulillāh, and so there will come another blessing, and so the blessings of Allāh never cease.
وَقَالَ بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا قَالَ: عَبْدٌ قَطُّ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مَرَّةً، إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَةٌ بِقَوْلِهِ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، فَمَا جَزَاءُ تِلْكَ النِّعْمَةِ؟ جَزَاؤُهَا أَنْ يَقُولَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، فَجَاءَتْ نِعْمَةٌ أُخْرَى، فَلَا تَنْفَدُ نَعْمَاءُ اللَّهِ.

And Ibn Mājah has narrated the marfūʿ ḥadīth of Anas (raadi Allāhu ‘anhu), “Allāh never bestows a blessing upon a slave and he then the slave says “alḥamdulillāh” except that Allāh gives him something better than that which he takes.” And we have also narrated the likes of that from the marfūʿ ḥadīth of Shahr b. Hawshab from Asmāʾ b. Yazīd. And this is narrated from Ḥasan al-Baṣrī from his own statement.
وَقَدْ رَوَى ابْنُ مَاجَهْ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ مَرْفُوعًا: «مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ نِعْمَةً، فَقَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، إِلَّا كَانَ الَّذِي أُعْطِيَ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا أَخَذَ». وَرُوِّينَا نَحْوُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ مَرْفُوعًا أَيْضًا. وَرُوِيَ هَذَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ.

THE LORD OF RAMADĀN IS THE LORD OF SHAWWĀL, SHA'BĀN AND THE REST OF THE MONTHS

The blessed month of Ramadān is a great season to accustom oneself to righteousness, being diligent in the worship of Allāh and competing to perform good deeds. It is abhorrent for the Muslim to forsake worship once this month has finished, as is the state of some people who do not know Allāh nor the worship of Him except in Ramadān.

It is said to these people:

O you who knew in Ramadān that you had a Lord, whom you worshipped, obeyed, feared and placed your hope, how could you forget Him after Ramadān?

O you who knew that Allāh made it obligatory upon you to pray five prayers in the Masjid, how can you be ignorant of this or feign ignorance after Ramadān?

O you who knew in Ramadān that Allāh forbade you from all acts of disobedience, how can you forget this after Ramadān?

O you who knew in Ramadān that in front of you there is Paradise, the Hellfire, a reward and a punishment, how can you be heedless of this after Ramadān?

O you who used to fill the Masājid in Ramadān and recite the Qur'ān, how have you forsaken the Masājid and abandoned the Qur'ān after Ramadān?

How strange is it that a people do not know Allāh except in Ramadān, and do not fear Allāh except in Ramadān.

Some of the Salaf were asked about the condition of a people who were like this, and they responded:

"How evil is a people who do not know Allāh except in Ramadān."

Verily, the Lord of the months is One; the Lord of Ramadān is the Lord of Shawwāl, Sha'bān and the rest of the months. It is obligatory upon the Muslim to worship Allāh and desist from disobeying Him at all times and moments.

عـن أوس بـن أوس الثقفي يقول : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ غَسَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ وَابْتَكَرَ، وَمَشَى وَلَمْ يَرْكَبْ، وَدَنَا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ فَاسْتَمَعَ وَلَمْ يَلْغُ كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ عَمَلُ سَنَةٍ أَجْرُ صِيَامِهَا وَقِيَامِهَا»

From Aws bin Aws ath-Thaqafi who said I heard the Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam saying:
'Whoever performs a perfect Ghusl on Friday then goes very early to the Khutbah, walking and not riding, sits close to the Imam, listens and does not speak or keep himself busy then *for every step towards the Khutbah is the reward equivalent to a year of fasting and praying.'*

[Collected by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi & authenticated by Al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jama as-Sagheer' no. 6405]

Al-Mulla Ali al-Qari -Rahimahullaah- said:
'The people of knowledge say: 'We do not know of a hadeeth of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- which has more reward than this hadeeth.'
[Murqaat al-Mafateeh Sharh Mishkat al-Massabeeh 3/484]

The Five Conditions are:
1 - Performing a Ghusl
2 - Going early to the Masjid
3 - Walking to the Masjid
4 - Sitting close to the Khateeb
5 - listening to the Khateeb and remaining silent

Someone asked Aishah, Mother of the Believers, “Tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah “ She said, “Do you not read the Qur’an?” I said: “Yes.” Upon this she said: “The character of the Messenger of Allah was the Qur’an. ”He said: “I felt inclined to get up and not ask anything [further] till death [due to the answer being so profound]”

Worship and obedience illuminate the heart ...

﷽

📍 Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

📬 "The most important of your affairs in my view is prayer; whoever prays regularly has protected his faith, but whoever neglects it, is bound to be more negligent in other issues of faith."

📚 [At-Taareeqah Al-Hakamiyah, p.240]

*Qualities Of The Believers*

The believers are with the believers — they feel joy with their joy, happiness with their happiness, and pain with their pain. If they notice some of them have a deficiency in their religion, they rush to assist them in repairing this deficiency, teaching them, cautioning them, and helping them with wisdom and good discourse, gentleness, kindness, and brotherhood. These are the qualities of the believers.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) used to say this frequently in his Rukuh and Sujood

« سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي »

Subhanakalla humma rabbana wa bihamdika Allahumma aghfirli

📌 ARE YOU HEEDLESS ABOUT STANDING BEFORE ALLAAH IN YOUR PRAYER? THEN HOW WILL YOU STAND BEFORE HIM ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT⁉️

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

Every individual must stand before Allaah twice: when he stands before Him in prayer and when he stands before Him on the Day he meets Him. Whoever stands before Him as he should in the first instance, the second standing will be made easy for him, but whoever is heedless with regard to this standing, and does not stand before Him (in prayer) as he should, that standing (on the Day of Resurrection) will be made difficult for him.
