Consequences of Riba' and Adultery!

🎓 Shaykh Salih al Fawzan حفظه الله

"No people deal in Riba' and commit Adultery, but Allaah, Exalted be He, afflicts them with poverty, incurable diseases and injustice from rulers."

And still we will continue to blame others for not rescuing and helping us! Introspect deep into your lives, all the answers of what is happening why, are clear there! Allaahul Musta'a

Being a tenant comes with a price, You'd either have;

- A bad landlord
- A bad neighbour or
- A bad house

- The landlord could be such a strict, harsh and unfriendly one who complains about anything and everything, and leaves you no freedom.

- You may have a quarrelsome, nosy and sharp-tongued neighbour who is always on your nerves.

- You may also live in a bad house; leaking in various places, with rodents as co-tenants, or a bad sewage system or a house with poor ventilation.

Summarily,
If you have a good neighbour and a good house, the landlord may be bad.

If you have a good landlord and a good neighbour, the house may be bad.

If you have a good house and a good landlord, the neighbour may be bad.

Hardly would you be fortunate to get all three factors in good shape. From the blessings of the dunya is to have a spacious house and a good neighbour. We ask Allah to bless us with it. Ameen.

*No Matter How Much You Cry It Won't Change Your Past.*
*But Crying over Your Sins May Improve Your Future.*

Al-Muwaffaq Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisī (رحمه الله) said:

‎"The Salaf used to love those who informed them of their shortcomings and mistakes. As for us now, the most hated of the people to us are those who inform us of our shortcomings and mistakes."

‎[Minhaj al-Qasideen, pg.196]

❝The best migration is the migration from what your Lord dislikes❞

[Silsilah Aḥadīth as-Saheehah of Shaykh al-Albanī (رحمه الله), no. 553]

Shaykh Luhaydan trembled & cried on 25th night while reciting this ayah and surely the verse moved me too at the same time!

𝐒𝐚𝐲, "𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐦 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬? 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐬."

[Surat Al Fussilat -41]

Such a simple verse, yet so astronomically powerful.

Don’t worry about pleasing people, worry about pleasing Allah.

Listen to this authentic hadith :

Aisha رضي الله عنها said that The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah while people are displeased , Allah will suffice him against the people,
and whoever seeks the pleasure of people while displeasing Allah, Allah will leave him (to be in need) of the people.”

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ الْتَمَسَ رِضَا اللَّهِ بِسَخَطِ النَّاسِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ مُؤْنَةَ النَّاسِ وَمَنْ الْتَمَسَ رِضَا النَّاسِ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَكَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ

About this Imam Shafi said :
“Pleasing people is a goal that cannot be reached and i don’t have a way to be safe from them ,
Therefore you have to cling on to what will benefit you. (meaning pleasing Allah).

عَنْ يُونُس بْن عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ قَالَ لِي الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ النَّاسُ غَايَةٌ لَا تُدْرَكُ وَلَيْسَ لِي إِلَى السَّلَامَةِ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ فَعَلَيْكَ بِمَا يَنْفَعُكَ فَالْزَمْهُ

When is the time period Zakāt al-Fitr has to be donated?

Shaykh ibn Bāz [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“Zakāt al-Fitr must be donated on the days commencing 28th, 29th, 30th [of the blessed month of Ramadān], the night of ‘Eed or the morning of ‘Eed before the [‘Eed] Prayer.”

Majmū Fatāwa ibn Bāz,14/32 | Shaykh ibn Bāz [may Allāh have mercy on him]

TN: The night of ‘Eed is after Maghrib prayer on the 30th of [the blessed month of] Ramadān.

THIS IS THE DECREE OF ALLĀH!

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Strive for what will benefit you, and seek the help of Allāh, and do not be incapacitated. And if something afflicts you, do not say: 'If I had done such and such, such and such would have happened.' But say: "This is the decree of Allāh, He does what He wills. This is because 'if' opens the act of Shaytān.*

The end of Ramadan does not mean the end of our spiritual growth. Let us continue to read the Quran, perform acts of charity, and strive for self-improvement throughout the year. May Allah guide us all towards His mercy and forgiveness.

Women should not wear makeup or jewellery no strong perfume and should not adorn themselves if mehendi in hands than cover your hands when going masjid for praying taraweeh or for EID prayers or any time ...

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“The more the people would commit new types of oppression and crimes, the more their Lord would afflict them with new types of corruptions and diseases in their food, fruits, air, waters, bodies, appearances, images, shapes, and manners…

…from deficiencies and corruptions,
which are the result of their actions, injustice and wrongdoing.”

[Zād al-Maʿād fī Hadyi Khayr al ‘Ibād | 4/332]

*Step-by-Step Walkthrough to pay Zakaat-ul-Fitr*

Step 1: Determine the number of people you are giving zakaat al-fitr on behalf of.

A man has a wife and four children, and his parents have asked him to give out zakaat al-fitr for them too. So he needs to give out 8 units, or saa’s, of food.

Step 2: Determine how much one saa’ (3 litres) of the selected food item is.

The man in our example decides to use barley. He can either:

(a) Measure out three litres of barley in a large measuring pitcher, if he doesn’t mind opening the container, and it will not be seen as unacceptable to the poor person.

(b) Measure out 750 ml of barley in a measuring cup. Weigh this amount. Multiply its weight by 4. This is one saa’ of that barley. Let’s say in this example 750ml of the selected barley weighed 400 grams. So 400g x 4 = 1.6kg. The weight of one saa’ of that specific kind of barley would be 1.6 kilograms.

Step 3: Multiply the measurement from step 2 by the number of people you are giving on behalf of (from step 1).

This is done one of two ways:

(a) 3 litres x 8 = 24 litres of barley as in this example (based on the original volume)

(b) 1.6kg x 8 = 12.8 kilograms in this example (converted to weight)

I hope this walkthrough is helpful.

Begin 'Eīd With Lowering The Gaze

Some of the companions of Sufyān ath-Thawrī said: "We went out with ath-Thawrī on the day of 'Eīd and he said: 'Verily, the first thing we will begin our day with is lowering the gaze."

‎● [التبصرة لابن الجوزي ص ٦١]

Ḥasān Ibn Abī Sinān went out for the 'Eīd and when he returned his wife said to him:

"How many beautiful women did you see today?"

And when she persisted he replied: "I did not look at anything except my thumb from the time I went out until I returned to you!

‎● [التبصرة لابن الجوزي ص ١٠٦، والورع لابن أبي الدنيا ص ٦٣]

Ramadan might be leaving.. but Giver of Ramadan is not..

We don’t worship Ramadan, we worship the One who gave us Ramadan.

Don’t let Ramadan pass by- without it changing you,
healing you,
forgiving you,

Reflect what will change you for you after Ramadan.
What will you continue?
What will you fight.
Strive for?

How will you search for barkaah in rest of the year?

Don't Forget Allah After Ramadan
Allāh the lord of Ramadān is the Lord of All other months Fear Allāh even after Ramadān and guard your Deen!

It was said to Bishr al-Hāfī:

"There are some people who strive hard in Ramadān but when it ends, they stop." He replied: "How evil are these people! They only know the rights of Allah in Ramadān. Indeed the pious person is the one who worships and strives hard throughout the entire year."

📚 (Latā'if al-Ma'ārif)

The Prophet ﷺ said: "A group of people whose hearts will be like the hearts of birds, will enter Jannah".
‏قال رسول اللّٰه ﷺ "يدخُل الجنّة أقوامٌ أفئدتُهم مثل أفئدة الطير"💙
[Saheeh Muslim #2840]
Imam al-Nawawi, in his explanation of Saheeh Muslim, wrote the following concerning this hadeeth:
It is said: the likeness of them in tenderness and softness, like another hadeeth, “The people of Yemen are the most soft-hearted and the most tender-hearted“
And it is said: in fear and reverence. And birds are the most frightful and alarm-prone of animals, just as Allah said, “It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah” [35:28], as if the meaning was a people who were overcome by fear, as has been narrated about large numbers of the salaf concerning the severity of their fear.
And it is said: the meaning is al-mutawakkiloon (those who place their reliance and trust upon Allah). And Allah knows best

[Sharh al-Nawai ‘alaa Muslim #2840]

Remember the words of Ibn Rajab, ‘Dealing with people with kind words is perhaps more dear to them than offering them food and money.’
Have a nice Eid.

Fasting of six days in shawwal after Ramadan.

Alhamdulillah, let's look at the Hadith of the virtue of fasting in the six days of shawwal.
As reported in the Hadith,
Narrated Abu Ayyub:
The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone fasts during Ramadan, then follows it with six days in Shawwal, it will be like a perpetual fast.
Sunan Abi Dawud 2433.

Abu Ayub narrated that ::
the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan, then follows it with six from Shawwal, then that is (equal inreward) to fasting everyday."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 759.

So after Ramadan, let's try and fasts these six days for more reward.

May Allah s.w.t guides and grants us the strength to make this fast. Amiin
