The Increase Of Jinn

mocked and played around with them.❞

Everything Belongs to Allaah...

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned the Prophet's Hadith:
“A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because when passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took of her shoe and draw out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that.”
Ibn Taymiyyah commented:
“This woman gave water to the dog on account of the sincere faith in Allah that resided in her heart, on that account Allah forgave her. Not every prostitute will be forgiven if she gives water to a dog. This indicates that actions vary according according to the degree of faith and sincerity that resides in the hearts. Certainly, whoever performs acts of worship without sincerity to Allah, will not gain rewards for them because they are worthless. Rather, whoever does this, will subject himself to tremendous consequences, even if the acts of worship were major, such as spending on righteous causes and fighting against the disbelivers.”

EXERT YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE LAST TEN - NOT JUST THE ODD NIGHTS❗️
Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah -raḥimahullāh- was asked:
When should we look out for Laylatul Qadr?
He responded (paraphrasing):
“Laylatul Qadr occurs during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān, as is authentically established from the Prophet ﷺ, who said:
((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)).
“Look out for Laylatul Qadr during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān.”
[Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim on the authority of ‘Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā]
And In the version of Bukhāri, he ﷺ specifically said:
((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)).
"Look out for Laylatul Qadr during the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān."
However, it's important to note that there are two methods of calculating the odd nights:
1⃣ - THE FIRST is to count the days that have already passed; such that Laytul Qadr falls on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night of Ramaḍhān.
or
2⃣ - THE SECOND is to count the days that remain, as the Prophet ﷺ said:
((الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي تَاسِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي سَابِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي خَامِسَةٍ تَبْقَى)).
“Look out for the Laylatul Qadr during the REMAINING TEN NIGHTS of Ramaḍhān; on the night when nine or seven or five nights remain.”
[Reported by Bukhāri on the authority of Ibn Abbās -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhumā]
So according to this method, if Ramaḍhān consisted of 30 days -and only Allāh knows if this will be the case- LAYLATUL QADR MIGHT FALL ON ONE OF THE EVEN NIGHTS, because the 22nd will be the night when nine remains, the 24th will be the night when seven remains, and the 26th will be the night when five remains.
This was the understanding of Abū Sa‘īd Al-Khudri -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu-:
Muslim reports that Abun Naḍhr enquired:
يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ! إِنَّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِالْعَدَدِ مِنَّا. قَالَ: أَجَلْ! نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا التَّاسِعَةُ وَالسَّابِعَةُ وَالْخَامِسَةُ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا مَضَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ وَهْىَ التَّاسِعَةُ، فَإِذَا مَضَتْ ثَلاَثٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا السَّابِعَةُ، فَإِذَا مَضَى خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا الْخَامِسَةُ.
“O Abū Sa‘īd, you know more than us about (these) numbers. He said: Yes, indeed we have better right than you. I said: What is this ninth, seventh, and fifth? He said: When 21 (nights are over) and the 22nd begins, it is the ninth. When 23 (nights) are over, that which follows (i.e. the 24th) is the seventh. When 25 nights are over, what follows (i.e. the 26th) is the fifth.”
If, however, Ramaḍhān consists of 29 days, then these two forms of calculations will be exactly the same.
This being the case, it is only befitting that the believer works hard throughout the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān - NOT JUST THE ODD NIGHTS.
This was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ as ‘Ā’ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā- said:
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ - أي العشر الأواخر من رمضان - شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ، وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ.
“With the start of the last ten days of Ramaḍhān, the Prophet ﷺ would tighten his waist sheet (i.e. work hard and refrain from sexual relations), pray throughout the night, and he would also wake his wives.”

If you have oppressed or wronged anyone or even indebted to anyone,
And you have been stubbornly refusing to make amends for whatever reason,
Hasten to reconcile with the person and return their rights to them,
Else they may report you to Allah azza'wajal, and their supplications may co-incidentally happen on the night of Majesty.
You know what that means !!!

How much zakāt al-fitr is and when it should be paid:
It is not permissible to pay the value in money, according to the majority of scholars; this view has the stronger evidence. Rather it must be given in the form of food, as the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) did. This is also the view of the majority of the ummah. We ask Allaah to help us and all the Muslims to understand His religion properly and adhere to it steadfastly, and to guide us, for He is the Most Generous, Most Kind.
[Majmū’ Fatāwa ash-Shaykh bin Bāz, 14/200]
It is also obligatory to give zakāt al-fitr before the ‘Eid prayer, and it is not permissible to delay it until after the ‘Eid prayer. There is nothing wrong with giving it one or two days before the ‘Eid. Hence it is known that the earliest time when it may be given, according to the more correct of the two scholarly views, is the night of the 28th of Ramadhān, because the month may be twenty-nine or thirty days. The companions of the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) used to give it one or two days before Eid.
Those to whom it must be given are the poor and needy. It was proven that Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) enjoined zakāt al-fitr as a purification for the fasting person from idle and obscene speech, and to feed the poor. Whoever gives it before the prayer, it is zakāt al-fitr, and whoever gives it after the prayer, it is ordinary charity. This was narrated by Abī Dāwūd and classed as hasan by Al-Albāni in Sahīh Abi Dāwūd.
The estimation of Shaykh Ibn Bāz (may Allāh have mercy on him), who reckoned the weight of zakāt al-fitr as being approximately three kilograms.
This was also the estimate of the scholars of the Standing Committee (9/371).
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy on him) estimated it in grams as being 2100 grams.

Imam ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
The secret and the reality of trust in Allah is the reliance of the heart on Allah alone. The person who relies on Allah and not on any other person or thing will not be harmed. Therefore, trusting in Allah in word only is totally different from trusting in Him with the heart. It is the same as repentance with the tongue while having the intention to commit sins again, and the repentance of the sincere heart even if the tongue has not said anything. For the statement of the servant "I have put my trust in Allah" with the intention of something else in his heart is like the statement "I have repented to Allah" with the intention of committing sins.
[Al-Fawaa'id, p.134]

Facing hardships? Life treating you extra rough?
Once, Aisha (RA) was with the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) and he was sick with a high fever, in great pain. Aisha (RA) remarked at how painful and difficult this was, even for her to watch. The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) remarked,
"O Aisha! Do you not know that Allah makes matters difficult for the believer so that all of his sins may be forgiven?"
[Ibn Sa'd; authentic]
The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:
“If Allāh intends good for someone, He afflicts him with trials.”
Saheeh al-Bukhāri, 7/115 | Saheeh
Ibn al-Jawzī:
“I think part of the test is when a believer supplicates and receives no response, and he repeats the du‘ā’ for a long time and sees no sign of a response. He should realise that this is a test and needs patience.”
[Ṣayd ul-Khāṭir, 59]
Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymin:
As-Sabr (Patient perseverance), is to confine oneself to obedience to Allaah; and to withhold oneself from disobedience to Allaah, and from being angry with what Allaah has decreed.
[Sharh al-Usul Ath-Thaalatha, p.19]

The story of Uwais Al-Qarni رحمه الله
“The story of Uwais Al-Qarni was mentioned in Sahih Muslim as well as in other books. Now even though he was from the Tabi’een and did not see the Messenger [ صلى الله عليه و سلم], the Messenger [صلى الله عليه و سلم ] had advised Umar ibn Al Khattaab رضي الله عنه that if he meets [Uwais] then he, Umar, should ask [Uwais] to ask Allah to forgive him and to make supplication for him.
Asir ibn Jaabir رضي الله عنه narrated:
Whenever people would come from Yemen, Umar رضي الله عنه would ask them, “Is Uways Al-Qaranee amongst you?” until, one year, he met Uways.
He said, “Are you Uways Al-Qaranee?” He said, “Yes.”
Umar continued, “From Muraad, then Qaran?” He said, “Yes.”
Umar then asked, “Were you once afflicted with leprosy and your skin healed except for a dirham’s area?” Uways said, “Yes.”
Umar finally asked, “Do you have a mother (that is alive)?” He said, “Yes.”
Umar then said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و say, ‘Uways ibn Aamir will come to you with the delegations from Yemen, from Muraad, then from Qaran. He was once afflicted with leprosy and his skin healed except for a dirham’s area. He has a mother, and he treats her kindly. If he was to ever swear by Allah (for something) Allah would fulfill his oath. If you can, request that he ask forgiveness for you.”
Umar then requested from Uways, “Ask forgiveness for me.” And Uways Al-Qaranee did.
