BE KIND & GENTLE!

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Allah is Kind and lenient and likes that one should be kind and lenient in all matters."

📚: Sahih Bukhari 6927

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness, and He rewards for gentleness what He does not reward for harshness or for anything else."

📚: Sahih Muslim 2593 (6601)

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Show gentleness, for if gentleness is found in anything, it beautifies it and when it is taken out from anything it damages it."

📚: Sunan Abi Dawud 4808 | Sahih

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever was given his share of gentleness, then he has been given a share of good. And whoever has been prevented from his share of gentleness, then he has been prevented from his share of good."

Hudhaifah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:

“Do not be a people without a will of your own, saying: 'If people treat us well, we will treat them well; and if they do wrong, we will do wrong,' but accustom yourselves to do good if people do good, and do not behave unjustly if they do evil.”

A camel COMPLAINT of MISTREATMENT by its owner.

Imam Ahmad relates that Abdullah Ibn
Ja’afar (R.A.) said: One day the Prophet (ﷺ) asked me to follow him. Whenever he wanted to relieve himself, he preferred either a
hilly area or a garden of date palms. One day, he entered a shelter among the shelters of the Helpers, then all of a sudden, a camel came
towards him, made a rumbling voice and shed
tears. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw this, he caressed the back of its head and comforted it. In turn, it stopped crying.

He then said, “Who is its owner?”

A young man from the Helpers said: It is mine O Messenger of Allah.

Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do you not
fear Allah as pertains to this animal that He has placed under your ownership?” It complained that you neglect feeding it and mistreat it.55

A camel TELLS the Prophet (ﷺ) that the
OWNER wants to SLAUGHTER it

Imam Ahmad relates that Ali Ibn Siyaabah
(R.A.) said: I was travelling with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he wanted to answer the call of
nature; he ordered two small date palm to cover him, thereafter, he ordered them to go back to their original positions. Then a camel came towards the Prophet (ﷺ), and put its neck to the earth then made a rumbling sound.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do you know what the camel says? It claims that the owner wants to slaughter it”. Then he sent for its owner. He (ﷺ) said to him, “Will you grant it to me as a present?”

He said: There is nothing in my ownership more preferable to me than it. He (ﷺ) then said to him, “I advice you to be kind and
cautious”....56

وعن عطاء بن يسار أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:

إذا مرض العبدُ بعث اللهُ إليه ملَكينِ فقال : انظُروا ما يقول لعُوَّادِه ؟ فإن هو إذا جاؤوه حمد اللهَ وأثنى عليه ، رَفعا ذلك إلى اللهِ ، وهو أعلمُ ، فيقول : لعبدي عليَّ إن توفَّيتُه أن أُدخِلَه الجنَّةَ وإن أنا شَفيتُه أن أُبدِلَه لحمًا خيرًا من لحمِه ، ودمًا خيرًا من دمِه ، وأن أُكفِّرَ عنه سيِّئاتِه .

Atā’a ibn Yasār reported the Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

“When the servant [of Allāh] becomes sick, Allāh, Allāh appoints two angels to him. They look at what he says to those who visit him. If he praises Allāh and extols Him; when they come to visit him, the Angels raise it up to Allāh and Allāh knows best. Allāh says: ‘If I take my servants life, I will admit him into Paradise. If I cure him, I will replace his flesh with better flesh and his blood with better blood and I will expiate his evil deeds.’”

Do Not Grieve Over The Past


Shaykh AbduRahmaan As-Sa'adi [رحمه الله] said:

❝Do not grieve over past matters which have not been destined, from ill health, or loss of wealth or a worldly matter, etc.

Your concern should be with rectification of actions on the day.

Since a person is living in the moment. He should not be saddened for what has passed. Also he should not research into the future where that research would not be of any benefit.

It is upon you to be truthful, fulfill your contracts, keep to one's promises and justice in all dealings.

Fulfilling rights completely and perfectly with a tranquil soul and with truthful pure Eemaan.

Busy yourself with your own mistakes and your matters, rather than the mistakes of the people and their matters.

Deal with everyone according to their situation and condition, whether he is a senior, or youngster, male or female, a leader or a follower.

Be gentle and merciful to everyone even animals and livestock, since indeed Allaah is merciful to his merciful worshippers.

Be balanced in all your matters, and open up your mind to every religious and worldly benefit.❞

[Majmoo Mualifaat As-Saadi, (21/258) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

If you have time after the sunrise up until before Dhuhr, pray this

Abu Dharr narrated that the Messenger of Allāh said:

“In the morning charity is due from every joint of your body. Every tasbeeh (saying glory be to Allāh) is charity. Every tahmeed (saying all praise is due to Allāh) is charity. Every tahleelah (saying none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh) is charity. Every takbeerah (saying Allāh is the Greatest) is charity. Enjoining the good is charity. Forbidding the evil is charity; and performing
two rak’āt of Duha suffices all of this."

Muslim 720

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin defined it as being from a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen until ten minutes before Zhur prayer. (Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/122)
وقدّره الشيخ ابن عثيمين بأنه بعد شروق الشمس بربع ساعة إلى قبيل صلاة الظهر بعشر دقائق. (الشرح الممتع 4 / 122

❝A friend cannot be considered a friend until he is tested on 3 occasions: Time of need, behind your back, & after your death.❞

The Salaf on speaking negatively about a Muslim

Sufyan bin Hussain said: I mentioned a (muslim) man negatively in the presence of Iyas bin Muawiyah (Taabi'i, Judge of Basra), so he looked me in the face & said: "Did you join the fight against the Romans?" I said: No, then he said: "the Sindhis, Indians & Turks (mongols)?" I said no.
He replied: "the Sindhis, Indians & Turks are safe from you but your Muslim brother is not safe from you?!" After that moment, I never did that again.
{Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihayah by Ibn Kathir (13/121)

Don't let your heart be like a Sponge ...

Imam Ibn Taymiyah once advised his student Ibn al-Qayyim as follows:

لا تجعَلْ قَلْبَك للإيراداتِ والشُّبُهاتِ مِثلَ السفِنْجة، فيتشَرَّبَها
فإذا أَشرَبْتَ قَلْبَك كلَّ شُبهةٍ تمُرُّ عليها، صار مَقرًّا للشُّبُهاتِ
'𝘋𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘪𝘵, 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘶𝘱.
𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘵𝘴.'
['Miftaah Dar as-Sa'aadah', 1/443].

Instead, he told him to make his heart like a solid object, so the doubts which pour down on it like rain, they pass over it, and don't settle in it.

This advise is very helpful, especially in our times:

I've seen many youth go on anti-islamic websites, or anit-Sunnah websites, absorb all that nonsense and then come to scholars with hundreds of questions.

By then, the damage is already done. It is easier to learn, than to un-learn. They first put rubbish in their heads and then come for the clean-up. Stop putting rubbish in your head in the first place.

Take knowledge from the right sources, strengthen your foundations - then these doubts they cast, will pass over your heart like rain-water on rocks, without settling in.

Who took care of you when you were in your mother's womb? Allah.
Even if people abandon you, you can survive while trusting Allah.

Pay attention to people's behaviour and speech before you entrust them with anything personal.

❝No one belittles or mocks his brother for falling into a sin except that he falls into the same. If news reaches you that a person has erred, then say to yourself: May Allah forgive him and me.❞
- Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله

● You judged a couple without children and your children grew up to be a test for you.

- Their time came and they were blessed with children.

● You judged an unmarried sister and your marriage soon became filled with hardships and struggles.

- Her time came she got married late but with the best man for her.

● You judged someone without a job and lost all your savings in next few years.

- She struggled for a few years and then landed her dream job.

● You judged someone for not wearing hijaab and some of your darkest secrets got revealed publicly.

- She is now a hijabi that inspires others to be modest.

Check your heart for none with an atom of Pride shall enter Paradise.

📚 Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No one who has the weight of a seed of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise.” A man said, “But a man likes to have nice clothes and nice shoes.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance is to disregard the truth and to look down upon people.”
[Sahih Muslim]

❝If a person shames or mocks his brother for a fault, perhaps Allāh will have mercy upon him and cure him, and then afterwards afflict the mocker with that fault.❞

● [شرح رياض الصالحين ٦/٢٦٣]

❝If you speak ill of people, if you mock people, then Allah will test you with the same thing.❞
- Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi

Some of them repent and turn back to their Lord, or else the punishment (hadd) is carried out on them. So it is not permissible to criticize them because their souls have been purified by their repentance or the punishment.

📚 The Prophet ﷺ said: “The one who repents from sin is like one who has never sinned.”
[Sunan Ibn Maajah]

It may be that what he meant is that your criticizing your brother for his sin is an even greater sin than his, because it means that you feel pride in your obedience and you are praising yourself for that, and claiming to be free from sin, whereas your brother has fallen into sin.

But it may be that his feeling humble because of his sin and what has happened to him, such as his feeling humble and submissive, thinking less of himself, ridding himself of pious pretensions, arrogance and self-admiration, standing before Allah with his head bowed, his gaze lowered and his heart broken, it may be that all of that is better for him than your feeling proud of your obedience, thinking that you are doing much good, believing that by doing so you are important, and reminding Allah and mankind of that.

❝The groaning of the sinners is more beloved to Allah than the tasbeeh of the conceited. A sin that leads to humility is more beloved to Him than an act of obedience which fills a person with conceit.❞
- Ibn Al Qayyim رحمه الله

🤲 May Allah keep us humble and focused on our faults - Ameen!

Ibn Al-Qayyim’s Illustrations of Leaving Something Sincerely for the Sake of Allaah – & How it is Done Correctly

“The basis of this chapter and its principle is:

That whoever leaves off something for the sake of Allaah; then Allaah will replace that with something better.

Just as Yusuf – as-Siddeeq (‘alaihis salaam) left the wife of ‘Azeez for the sake of Allaah and chose the prison over fornication.
Thus Allaah exchanged it by: empowering him upon the earth – to engage and take charge therein – as and how he liked.

https://www.wrightstreetmosque.com/ibn-al-qayyims-illustrations-of-leaving-something-sincerely-for-the-sake-of-allaah-how-it-is-done-correctly/

Nawwaas Ibn Sam’aan (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be on him) about virtue and sin and he said:

“Virtue is noble behavior, and sin is that which creates doubt
and you do not like people to know about it. ” [Reported by
Muslim]

Shaykh Saalih Uthaymeen (May Allah have mercy on him) explains this hadith as:

Regarding good behavior, we stated that it is a quality that, if someone actualizes it, would undoubtedly gain a lot of benefits.
The term "virtue" has a lot of positive connotations.
As for the term "sin," the Prophet defined it as "something which raises doubt and you do not want people to know about it."
This implies that the act of wrongdoing disturbs a person and leaves them feeling uncertain, unsure, and wavering.

Therefore, the narration is speaking directly to an honest, devout person. This is not the case for immoral sinners, as they lack a conscience and don't feel guilty about their actions. He gives little thought, if any thought, to what others would think or say about him if they witness him openly disobeying Allah.

The person's evil deed seems just to him, and he is cheered by such filthy and wicked deeds. People who engage in Riba (usury or interest), adultery, and prostitution, for example, appear quite glad and delighted in carrying out these abhorrent bad deeds. You can see this in the heart of a frequent drinker who is extremely happy when consuming alcohol.

Additionally, they enjoy visiting immoral, sinful countries, and when they return, they loudly boast about having engaged in fornication and other similar behaviors consuming alcohol and other drugs, and Allah is your refuge is sought!

Paraphrased from The Explanation of the Chapters on KNOWLEDGE, Righteousness & Good manners
From the Classical Collection of hadith
Riyaadh As-Saaliheen by Imam An-Nawawi
As explained by the Esteemed Shaykh, and Reviver of the Sunnah, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Uthaymeen, Page 157-158

The Titanic was constructed by hundreds of men, and its captain announced that this ship will never perish. On it first voyage in the ocean it sunk.

Mean while, Nuh عليه السلام constructed a huge ship all by himself and he announced: “With the name of ALLAH it sails and anchors.” (Surat Hud:41). The entire world became flooded, and his ship was the only thing that survived.

This is the result of true توكل على الله reliance upon Allah

Be with Allah, Allah will always be with you.

When going through hardships and a tough time remember the story of Hajar عليه السلام, wife of prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام abul ambiya "The Father of Prophets". Her husband was a prophet and she gave birth to a prophet Ismael عليه السلام.

Her struggle, her taqwa requires constant and sincere reflection.

Lesson one from the story of Hajar عليه السلام is Taqwa.

Imagine standing all alone in a desert with a new born baby in your arms and you have ran out of food and water, all you see is sand as far as your eyes can see.

Visualize that and imagine how scared would you be.
YOU WILL FEEL HOPELESS, WORRIED AND ANXIOUS.
That is how our mother Hajar felt.

Although, regardless of who left her there and why, Hajar knew that Rizq is from Allah, and that Allah would never forsake or abandon her.

That's the message I take from it. That as an amatullah I know for a fact that Allah will never forsake or abandon me as long as I take action and put my trust in Him.

The character of Hajar is what we should aspire to. Her sense of faith and reliance on Allah and her perseverance in what seemed an utterly hopeless situation is the lesson.

She raised her son Ismael عليه السلام, alone in the desert, without any family around and in such a way that Ismael was still obedient to the very father who left him in the desert.

Did she or Ismael throw a fit when Ibrahim عليه السلام showed up years later and said Allah wants me to slaughter you son?
No.

Hajar عليه السلام trusted that Allah would provide, and she sought out that provision.

Today as a result of that call to Allah, billions of Muslims from around the world and across generations commemorate her sunnah of running from safa to marwah while performing Umrah and Allah gave this Ummah the well of zam-zam because of her tawakkul and taqwa in Allah.

These two blessings showcase how immense her tawakkul and yaqeen in her rabb was. Her tawakkul in Allah was so strong that Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه comments on the blessing of zamzam and says "𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐚’𝐞𝐞𝐥'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫! 𝐇𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐳𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐳𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡."

✦ 𝐓𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐮𝐥 is the reason we have Zamzam.
✦ 𝐓𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐮𝐥 is the reason the dates fell from the tree to feed Maryam عليه السلام during her labour pains, because a pregnant woman in pain cannot shake a tree.
✦ 𝐓𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐮𝐥 is the reason striking the staff split the sea for Musa عليه السلام.

Let's remember she is our mother. Her example is the best example to emulate. Her trials elevated her. During her lowest points she had the highest level of eeman and faith.

When things get tough, we need to stop whining. Instead focus on duas, ask Allah that he gives you tawfeeq, sabr and tawakkul that is unmatched and doesn't waver.

The second lesson is about being okay with not witnessing your true legacy in this temporary lifetime. So, what do I mean by that? When we talk about legacy, did Hajar عليه السلام witness her entire legacy in her lifetime?
𝐍𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐓.

Hajar عليه السلام had zero idea that billions of Muslims across generations would commemorate her sunnah while performing umrah.

Similarly, don’t worry if your legacy is not visible in a few years or even in your lifetime. If you are sincere and you do good deeds for the sake of Allah alone, Allah will bless you with a good legacy and inshaAllah the fruition, result and reward will be visible be on the day of judgement.

Some legacies are visible in our lifetime and some will inshaAllah be visible on the day of judgment.

𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲.
Just focus on the sincerity of your intentions and perform many good deeds.

🤲 May Allah bless us with tawakkul, ikhlaas, ihsan and unending sadaqaye jariya, may Allah keep us all sincere and steadfast in our affairs – Allahumma ameen.

ALLAH WILL KEEP GOOD RELATIONS WITH HIM WHO KEEPS GOOD RELATIONS WITH KITH AND KIN

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RaziyALLAAHu A'nhu) : The Prophet (SaLLALLAAHu A’Laihi Wa SaLLam) said,

إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ سُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ وَصَلْتُهُ، وَمَنْ قَطَعَكِ قَطَعْتُهُ

“The word ‘Ar-Rahm’ (womb) derives its name from Ar-Rahmaan (i.e., one of the names of ALLAAH) and ALLAAH said: ‘I will keep good relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, (womb i.e. Kith and Kin) and sever the relation with him who will sever the relation with you, (womb, i.e. Kith and Kin).’”
