Fear of a bad ending

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Sufyān al-Thawrī, may Allāh have mercy on him, once cried a whole night until the morning, so in the morning he was asked if his cry was due to the fear of sins.

He picked hay from the ground and said:

‘Sins are lighter than this hay, I only cried out of fear of the bad ending.’

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

“And this is the peak of Fīqh (knowledge and understanding) that a man fears that his sins let him down at the time of death and that they come between him and the good ending.”

Belief In The Qadr (Divine Decree) and Submission to It ✨

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"A slave (of Allah) shall not believe until he believes in al-Qadar, its good and its bad, such that he knows that what struck him would not have missed him, and that what missed him would not have struck him."

📚: Jami at-Tirmidhi 2144 | Hasan

Ibn 'Abbas (رضى الله عنه) narrated: I was behind the Prophet (ﷺ) one day when he said:

"O boy! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah's aid.

Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you — you would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you — you would never be harmed except that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are dried."

📚: Jami at-Tirmidhi 2516 | Hasan

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

He who alleviates the suffering of a brother out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his suffering from the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection, and he who finds relief for one who is hard-pressed, Allah would make things easy for him in the Hereafter, and he who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter. Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah (mosques) and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Qur'an (among themselves) there would descend upon them tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him, and he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) lineage does not make him go ahead.

BE AWARE⚠

❝Don’t talk too much about yourself to all your friends. Don’t tell your secret to anyone, even your friend. Don’t tell your mistake or sin to others. Don’t trust others too much because that too much, can hurt you so much.

Because there will be a time when that person will use your secret against you or reveal your secret to the others.

When you fight or argue with each other, he will reveal all your secrets to the others to make you look bad in the eyes of people.

Not everyone around you is a true friend, some of them are two-faced (hypocrite). It’s better to keep your secrets to yourself and Allahﷻ Indeed HE is a secret keeper.❞

★ There are times in life when things don't go to plan.A bad day is not a bad life. Stay focused on what you want and persevere. Don't be anxious if bad things come first,for life is a mixture of good & bad.☆

"Verily, along with every hardship is relief"

Five sons of Iblish 💢

Iblees has five sons, he has appointed each of them on one of his affairs, their names are:

• Thabr,
• al-A'war,
• Musawwaṭ,
• Dāsim,
• Zulunbūr.

• As for Thabr: He is respon­sible for calamities. He orders people to rip their clothes, slap their cheeks and make the call of ignorance when stricken by calamity

• al-A'war: He is responsible for fornication (Zinā). He beauti­fies it and orders others to commit it

• Musawwaṭ: He is responsible for lies. He hears the news and transfers it to someone else, who in turn, goes to a gathering of people and tells them

• Dāsim: He shows a wife’s faults to her husband and makes him angry with her

• Zulunbūr: He is responsible for the market place. He sticks his flag (Fitnah) therein.

[Makaaid ash Shaytaan by Ibn Abi ad Dunya (54/35)]

The Prophet Mohammad (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa salam) said,

Among (the signs of) the approach of the Hour is that evil people will be raised in status and right people will be put down;

people will speak eloquently but their deeds will be bad;

and the bad things will become widespread among the people.

I said, “What is the bad thing?”

He (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

“Whatever is written other than the Book of Allah (the Quran).”

[Narration on the authority of Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr (raḍiyAllāhu ‘anhu), Recorded by at-Tabaraani (rahimahullah), al-Haythami (rahimahullah), said in Majma’ az-Zawaa’id, “Its men are the men of Seerah”]

"“It(Sha'abaan) is a month where people tend to neglect: between the months of Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are raised to THE LORD OF the worlds, and I like my deeds to be raised while I am fasting.”

(Sunan An-Nasa’i).

The Correct Understanding Of Tawakkul (To Depend/Rely Upon Allah) and Tawakkul Subsequent Actions:

Question: - I would like a detailed explanation so that I can correctly understand the following Hadith: - “Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.”

لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا

Answer: - This Hadith was narrated by Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said:

لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا

“Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.” ” (At-Tirmithi no. 2344, Ibn Majah no.4I64, Ahmad 1/30,52, Ibn Hibban no. 2548 and Al-Hakim 4/318) “This Hadeeth is Hasan Sahih.”

The reality of Tawakkul (putting one's trust in Allah) is heartfelt, sincere reliance on Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) in bringing benefit and warding off harm, whether in the affairs of this life or the Hereafter.

The meaning of this Hadith is that if people, in their hearts, truly rely on Allah Alone and put all their trust in Him in bringing about benefit and warding off harm, while also adopting the helpful means, He will provide them with sustenance by the simplest of means, just as He provides birds with sustenance merely by their going out and coming back.

It is a kind of endeavor that shows its fruits with little effort put forth into the pursuit.

Thus, realizing Tawakkul does not contradict implementing the means that Allah (Exalted be He) has provided and the destiny, which He decreed, is based upon.

This is the Constant Law of Allah in the affairs of His Creation: He has commanded mankind to adopt the means along with His Command of putting total trust in Him. The physical effort in pursuit of means is obedience to Allah (Exalted be He), whereas reliance of the heart on Allah is Imaan in Him. Allah (Exalted be He) says:

وَعلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

So fear Allah. “And in Allah let believers put their Trust” [Ibrahim 14:11]

Tawakkul is mentioned here together with Taqwa (fear of offending Allah), which in this context stands for the duty of acting according to the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He).

Tawakkul without making use of the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He) is total incapacity, even if it is mixed with a sort of Tawakkul. People should not transform their Tawakkul into non-action, or regard their non-action as Tawakkul; rather, they should make their Tawakkul a part of the means, remembering that no end can ever be achieved unless they are all utilized.

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.

Between The Past And The Future – Imâm Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

al-Fawaa’id, pp 151-152, Al-Istiqaamah, No. 2

Your life in the present moment is in between the past and the future.

So what has preceded can be rectified by tawbah (repentance), nadam (regret) and istighfar (seeking Allaah’s forgiveness). And this is something that will neither tire you, nor cause you to toil as you would with strenuous labour. Rather it is an action of the heart.Then as regards the future (then it can be corrected) by withholding yourself from sins. And this abandonment is merely the leaving of something and to be at ease from it. This also is not action of the limbs, which requires you to strive and toil. Rather this is a firm resolve and intention of the heart – which will give rest to your body, heart and thoughts.

So as for what has preceded, then you rectify it with repentance. And as for the future – then you rectify it with firm resolve and intention. Neither of these involves any hardship or exertion of the limbs.

But then your attention must be directed to your life in the present – the time between two times. If you waste it, then you have wasted the opportunity to be of the fortunate and saved ones. If you look after it, having rectified the two times – what is before and after it, as we have said – then you will be successful and achieve rest, delight and ever-lasting bliss. However, looking after it is harder than that which comes before and after it, since guarding it involves keeping to that which is most befitting and beneficial for your soul, and that which will bring it success and well-being.

Does money bring happiness? Yes, it does …....

Zubair Ibn al-Awwaam said:
إن المال فيه صنائع المعروف، وصلة الرحم، والنفقة في سبيل الله - عزَّ وجلَّ - وعون على حسن الخلق، وفيه مع ذلك شرف الدنيا ولذتها

['Mawsu'ah ibn Abi Dunia', 7/425].

You can use money to:

- Remove the debt of a poor family
- Buy warm clothes for orphans in the winter
- Build a well in a desert
- Pay for the medical operation of a sick person

Does this not bring happiness to these people?!

Of course it does!

Money is not a dirty word... money is power and unfortunately, this is how the world now operates.

Money makes you happy too, by putting a roof over your head, by putting food on your table and by bringing convenience in your life.

If you still think that money does not make you happy, try poverty! When your family members become sick and you struggle to pay for their medical expenses, then ask yourself this question again. Without money, you will suffer and feel the pangs of poverty.

We need to stop encouraging poverty and start encouraging wealth accumulation, in combination with taqwa. It's not the one or the other, many companions and their successors were rich and pious.

Wealth only becomes a problem when it distracts you from the hereafter.

“SOME THINGS I’VE LEARNED SO FAR IN LIFE.”

• You have no one in this entire world, except Allah. No matter how close you are to someone, they’re never yours.

• Putting Allah first will give you success in this duniya and akhirat.

• Your company is your path towards either hell or heaven. Choose people that get you closer to Allah and cut off anyone who takes you away from Allah.

• Not caring about anything and anyone is peaceful. Not expecting anything from anyone will save you heartbreaks.

• Balance between deen and duniya. Ask Allah for goodness in both the worlds.

• With your prayers you can accomplish anything in life. If you hold tight onto your salah, you will never be lost.

• The more you learn about Islam the deeper you fall in love with it. You’ve come in this world, so don’t leave without learning your religion and practicing it.

• There is hope for every single one of us. Allah is capable of anything. Allah is the most powerful. Allah can turn your bad days into good days, you need put your entire trust in him. Have faith and sabr.

• You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Those that don’t know you, don’t understand you, leave them. Your peace is more important than anything and anyone. You know yourself and your rabb does. Nothing else matter.

May Allah (swt) make us amongst those who are good and those who will never sacrifice jannah for this duniya. Aameen. ♥️🤲

In Arabic, the word for delay is- تأخير

The word تأخير - “delay”, already has the word خير - “good” in it. That itself is consoling.

There is an Arabic saying,
“كل تأخيرة فيها خيرة”

"Behind every delay, there's some goodness." Do not regard a delay as something negative.

How to Determine the Start of Ramadan

Ramadan begins with:


First: An upright Muslim (male or female) with good eyesight sees the Ramadan crescent.

Second: The end of the 30 days of Sha’ban if the crescent for Ramadan was not seen.[i]

On the thirtieth night of Sha’ban, if the new moon is unseen, this method should be used[ii]. In this regard, the Prophet (PBUH) said: “The (lunar) month (can be) twenty-nine nights (i.e. days), so do not fast until you see the new moon and do not break fasting until you see it. And if the sky is overcast, then you have to estimate the period (i.e. to complete Sha ‘ban as thirty days).”

Gain the pleasure of Allah....

Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The curse of Allah is on the one who causes difficulty to his mother. The curse of the angels and the curse of mankind are on him. Allah neither accepts his fardh nor his nafl worship as long as he does not repent and obey his mother. He has to gain her pleasure as best he can. Allah’s pleasure depends on the mother’s pleasure and His wrath is concealed in her wrath.” [Ahmad]

The Qur'an states:
وجدها تطلع على قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها سترا
'𝘏𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘯 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙢 𝙒𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙣.' [18:90].

The classical scholars of Tafsir understood this to mean that perhaps these people were naked and they had no clothes to shelter them against the sun, or maybe they had no homes or trees to shelter them against the sun.

A recent interpretation offered by some scholars today, seems plausible too:

Imam al-Sha'rawi writes in his Tafsir:
وبعض المفسرين يرون أن ذا القرنين ذهب إلى موضع يومه ثلاثة أشهر، أو نهاره ستة أشهر، فصادف وصوله وجود الشمس فلم ير لها غروباً في هذا المكان طيلة وجوده به، ولم ير لها ستراً يسترها عنهم، ويبدو أنه ذهب في أقصى الشمال.

['Tafsir al-Sha'rawi', 8987].

What is interesting is that 'ذو القرنين' means: 'he of the two horns', and some ancient civilisations of the North did wear horned helmets.

A Worldly Matter Vs A Matter Of The Hereafter

Abu Bakr Bin Al-Arabi said that Tartooshi said to him:

«إِذَا عَرَضَ لَكَ أمرُ دُنْيَا وَأَمرُ آخِرَة، فَبَادِرْ بِأَمرِ الآخِرَة، يَحْصُلْ لَكَ أَمرُ الدُّنْيَا وَالأُخْرَى.»

❝If a worldly matter and a matter of the Hereafter is presented to you, then hasten with the matter of the Hereafter. Like this you will acquire both the worldly matter and of the Hereafter.❞

[Seera Alaam An-Nubala, (19/491) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

✦ A man was thrown in fire and didn’t get burned :
it was -Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh)

✦ A man crossed a sea and didn’t drown :
it was -Prophet Mosa (Moses) (pbuh)
...
✦ A man was swallowed by a huge wale and survived:
it was -Prophet Yunus (pbuh)

✦ A man was thrown down a well by his brothers and left to
die but he survived, then became a minister:
it was -Prophet Yusuf (pbuh)

Let’s take a lesson from this!

►if the whole world gathers to make something happen which
Allah Has not Predestined to happen, they could not do so

and if the whole world gathers to prevent what Allah Has
Predestined to happen, they could not do so, as well.

►So always trust in what Allah has destined for you no matter
how bad it may look like at the beginning.....

Supplication (Du'aa) for Protection and Combating Magic (Sihr):

Beneficial supplication that can be very effective by the permission of Allah, in removing the evil effects of witchcraft (Sihr).

Narrated by Taab'i, Ka’b al-Ahbar (Radiy'Allahu'Anhu) states:

“Had it not been for the phrases that I recite regularly, the Jews would have turned me into a Donkey (out of Witchcraft). It was said to him: “What are these phrases ?” He replied:

أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ شَىْءٌ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ وَبِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لاَ يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلاَ فَاجِرٌ وَبِأَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا
وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَبَرَأَ وَذَرَأَ

Transliteration:

“A’uzu bi wajhillah al-Adhim alladhi laysa shay’un a’dhamu minhu wa bi kalimatillah at-tammati allati la yujawizuhunna barrun wa la fajir wa bi asmaillah al-husna kulliha ma alimtu minha wa ma lam a’lam min sharri ma khalaqa wa bara’a wa zara’a.”

Translation:

“I seek the protection of Allah the Great; He, than whom there is nothing greater. And I seek the protection of the perfect words of Allah which no man, virtuous or evil, can even transcend; and I seek the protection of all the beautiful names of Allah, those of them which I know and those which I do not know, from the evil of everything He (Allah) created, to which He has given existence, and which He has spread (over the earth or universe).”
