Al-Imām ibn Hibbān [ Rahimahullah] said:

“Best of brothers are those who are most excessive in giving [sincere] advice.”

Rawdat ul-‘Uqalā, 1/195 | Al-Imām ibn Hibbān al-Busti [may Allāh have mercy on him]

Sheikh al Albani said,

“The Day of al Fitr is Eid. As for the second and third day, they are not from the days of Eid at all. Thus Eid al Fitr is only one day whilst Eid al Adha is four days.”

[Silsilat al Huda wan Nur 274]

The entire month of Shawwal is a time for fasting the six days

Q: Is it permissible for a person to choose any six days to observe Sawm (Fasting) in Shawwal, or is there a fixed time for them? If we observe Sawm on them, will it become a Fard (obligation) on us?

A: It was authentically reported that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Anyone who fasts Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwal it is as if they fasted the whole year.” (Related by Imam Muslim in his Sahih [Authentic Hadith Book]) These days are not fixed in the month. A Mu’min (believer) can choose to observe them at any time throughout the month, whether in the beginning, middle, or end of the month, and whether on separate or consecutive days. There is flexibility in this matter, praise be to Allah. If a person observes them in the beginning of the month, it will be even better, as this is a form of hastening to do good deeds. It is not thus, considered a Fard; a person can leave them in any year.

However, it is better and more perfect to continue observing Sawm on these days every year, acting on the saying of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “The deed liked most by Allah is one to which the doer adheres constantly, even if it is small.” May Allah grant us success!

[Majmoo’ al-Fataawa Ibn Baaz, Vol.: 15; pp. 390 - 391]

#Selfreminder How often we forget about the angels that rest on our shoulders and write, and write, and write!.😓

Allahummaghfirli...

Let us not fall into sinful ways. Just because Ramadan is over, does not mean the ibadah and good deeds we did during it should be over.

• THE PROPHETIC MEDICINE •

Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrates that The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its remedy." (Bukhari 7#582)

• BLACK SEED (NIGELA SEEDS)
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) said in his divine wisdom about the Black seed "Use this Black seed, it has a cure for every disease except death". (Bukhari)

• SIWAK
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
"Use the siwaak for indeed it purifies the mouth and is pleasing to The Lord." (Ibn Maajah #288)

• COSTUS: (INDIAN ALOE WOOD)
Narrated Umm Qais, (Allah be pleased with her):
I went to Allah's Apostle along with a a son of mine whose palate and tonsils I had pressed with my finger as a treatment for a (throat and tonsil) disease. The Prophet said, "Why do you pain your children by pressing their throats! Use Oud Al-Hindi (Indian aloe wood) for it cures seven diseases, one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating throat and tonsil disease and it is inserted into one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."
(Bukhari, Book of Medicine #5343)

• SENNA
It was narrated from Asma' bint 'Umays that the Messenger of Allah asked her: "What do you use as a laxative?" She said: "Spurge." He said: "Hot, hot." She said: Then I used senna as a laxative and the Prophet said: "If there were anything in which there is a cure for death, it would be senna."
[Al-Tirmidhi; 6/254]

• DATES
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The ajwah dates come from Paradise and contain a cure for poison; truffles are a kind of manna and their juice is a medicine for the eye." (Tirmidhi #1127)

Narrated Sad (May Allah be pleased with him) I heard Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) saying, "Whoever takes seven 'Ajwa dates in the morning will not be effected by magic or poison on that day." (Bukhari, Vol7, Bk 71, #671)

• TALBEENAH
Talbeenah is a broth that is made from two spoonfuls of barley flour with bran, then a cup of water is added to that and it is cooked over a low fire for five minutes.

It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she would order that talbeenah be made for the sick and the one who was mourning a death, and she used to say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Talbeenah soothes the heart of the sick and takes away some of the grief.”
(Bukhari #5365; Muslim #2216)

• HENNA/ MEHNDI
Hazrat Umme Salma (May Allah be pleased with her) narrates: “In the life of Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), no injury or thorn piercing was treated on which Henna was not applied.” (Tirmidi, Ahmad)

“Whenever somebody came to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with complaints of headache, he directed him to undergo cupping and whosoever complained of pain in legs, was advised to apply Henna.” (Bukhari, Abu Dawood)

• TRUFFLES/ MUSHROOMS
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The truffle is among the Mann (Allah’s favours) and its water cures the eye” (Bukhari). It was said that among the Manna sent down by Allah to the Children of Israel were several plants that grow in the wild without effort. Some scholars consider truffles to be a kind of Manna, although the word Manna in the Quran refers to the sweet dew that descended from the trees.

• HONEY
Honey is deeply respected in Islamic medicine as a powerful cure. Aside from tasting wonderful, honey is nourishing, rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, eases allergies and can be used topically to disinfect wounds and cure skin problems. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself took honey medicinally, saying “Make use of the two cures: honey and the Qur’an” (Ibn Majah).

In another hadith narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) A man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said, “My brother has some abdominal trouble.” The Prophet said to him “Let him drink honey.” The man came for the second time and the Prophet said to him, “Let him drink honey.” He came for the third time and the Prophet said, “Let him drink honey.” He returned again and said, “I have done that ‘ The Prophet then said, “Allah has said the truth, but your brother’s abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey.” So he made him drink honey and he was cured.” [Bukhari]

• ZAMZAM WATER
The prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The water of Zam- Zam has a cure for all ailments." (Dailami)

It is reported from Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for. (Ibn Majah)

• KOHL ITHMID (SULFIDE OF ANTIMONY)
Ibn Abas (May Allah bd pleased with him) said: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) used to apply Kohl, he would use it thrice in the right eye; beginning with it and finishing with it and twice in the left eye.” (Tirmidhi)

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was reported to have said: "Use Ithmid (Antimony), because it clears the eye and grows the eyelashes". (Ibn Majah)

• RUQYAH (DAMM)
Ruqyah means reciting Qur’an and saying supplications reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) over the sick seeking to be cured; in addition to other good and lawful supplications.

This is one of the great Ruqyahs. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to the man who complained to him of pain in his body: Put your hand on the area of pain in your body and say, ‘Bismillah [In the Name of Allah]” three times, then say seven times, ‘Audhu bi izzat-illaah wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajid wa uhaadhir [I seek refuge in the Glory and Power of Allah from the evil of what I feel and worry about].’ This is a means for healing. Also, one may ask Allah for healing using good words, such as, “O Allah, cure me of this disease, cure me of any sickness.”

• HIJAMA (CUPPING)
Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Peace be upon him) said, "Indeed the best of remedies you have is cupping (hijama)…" [Bukhari #5371]

In the narration reported by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) the angels said, "Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah (nation) with cupping (hijama)." [Tirmidhi #3479]

• OLIVE & OLIVE OIL
Olives have been mentioned seven times in the Qur'an and their health benefits have been propounded in Prophetic medicine.
Hazrat Sayyed Al-Ansari narrates that the Prophet (Pbuh) said “Eat the olive oil and massage it over your bodies since it is a holy (mubarak) tree.” (Tirmidhi, Ibn Maja)

Abu Hurairah narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: “Consume the olive oil and apply it (locally), since there is cure for 70 diseases in it, one of them is leprosy.” (Abu Naim)

Praise be to Allah, Knower of all ailments and their hidden cures. May peace and salutations be upon His final prophet Muhammad... Aameen!

Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadqa-e-Jaaria (everlasting charity) for you and for me... In'Shaa'Allah.

Just as the farmer must be patient for the harvest, we must be patient on our journey in this world.
In the Quran, Allah promises that with every difficulty comes ease. Patience is the key to unlocking this ease and finding peace in the midst of hardship.

May Allah grant us the strength and fortitude to endure all trials with patience and perseverance. #Allah #Quran #harvest #patience

Don't be gullible:

Once upon a time, the Lion became hungry and he said to the fox: '𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂.'

The fox went to a donkey and said: '𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲.'

When the Lion saw the donkey, it attacked her, cutting off its ears, but the donkey managed to escape. The donkey said to the fox: '𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲!'

The fox said: '𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆! 𝗛𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱! 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.'

It made sense to the donkey, so it went back.

The Lion attacked the donkey again, this time cutting off its tail! The donkey escaped again, saying to the fox: '𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹!'

The fox said: '𝗛𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲! 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲.'

The fox convinced the donkey to return again.

This time, the Lion caught the donkey and killed it.

The Lion said to the fox: '𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗲𝘆. 𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝗴𝗼, 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴, 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁!'

The fox skinned the donkey, and ate the donkeys brain, but brought back its lung, liver and heart to the Lion. The Lion became angry and asked: '𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻?!'

The fox replied: '𝗜𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗺𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗜𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹.'

The Lion said: '𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲.'

Moral of the story:

The believers should be smart and pick up red flags early on. They should not be gullible, otherwise people will take advantage of them.

The Prophet said:
لا يلدغ المؤمن من جحر مرتين!
‘𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲.’
['Sunan Ibn Majah', 3983].
https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:3983

A rule of life,If you wouldn't like it done to you, don't do it to others.

Sometimes being kind allows others to see the goodness in humanity through you. Always be kinder than necessary and you may never know how even a little kind gesture from your end can create a massive impact on someone's life.

We often hear there's no kindness in this world, well if that's missing then you be the kindness.

Narrated Sad bin Sahl As-Saidi:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
وَإِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِخَوَاتِيمِهَا
“Verily, the (results of) deeds done, depend upon the last actions."
-Sahih al-Bukhari 6493

Ibn al-Jawzi said: "When the race horse knows that it is nearing the end of the track it exerts all of its effort to win the race. Do not allow the race horse to be more clever than you. For verily, deeds are judged by their conclusions. So if you didn't do well with welcoming Ramadan then perhaps you will do better bidding it farewell."

Ibn Taymiyyah said: "The lesson lies in perfection of the conclusion of a thing, not in the shortcomings of the beginning of it."

The Lord of Ramadan is the same Lord of all the rest of the months.

Those who are trying to impress society and say that Sunnah doesn't fit into it, please remember that we weren't created for society,

We were created for JANNAH!!

Do you Order Righteousness of the People and Forget Yourselves? – Ibn Rajab
Posted on February 24, 2015
by saad burbank

Ibn Rajab[1] rahimahullaah mentions in his ‘Lataaiful-Maaarif':

“A man said to Ibn Abbaas radiyAllaahu anhumaa: “I want to enjoin the good and forbid the evil.”

So he said to him: “If you do not fear these three verses exposing you; then do so. Otherwise, begin with yourself.”

Then he recited:

أَتَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ

“Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves.”

[Sooratul Baqarah; (2):44]

And His saying – He the Most High:

لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ

“Why do you say that which you do not do? It is most hateful to Allaah that you say that which you do not do.”

[Sooratus-Saff; (61):2-3]

And His saying – regarding the story of Shuayb alayhis-Salaam – (where he said to his people):

وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَىٰ مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ

“And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you.”

[Sooratul-Hood; (11):88]

[Source: ‘Lataaiful Maaarif fil-Mawaasim al-Aam min al-Wadhaaif’ of Ibn Rajab; al-Maktab al-Islaamee edtn. pge. 41]

[1] Zayn ud-Deen Abil Faraj Abdur-Rahmaan bin Shihaab ud-Deen Ahmad bin Rajab al-Hanbalee, al-Baghdaadee, ad-Dimishqee [736H-795H] – rahimahullaah –

From Abdullaah Ibn Umar (radiyallaahuma) who said: that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

❝Three types of people whom Allaah will not look at on the Day of Judgement:

● One who disobeys his parents.
● Woman who copies men in dress and form.
● The one who has no concern for his wife.

And three who will not enter Paradise:

● One who is disobedient to his parents.
● An Alcoholic.
● The one who reminds you of what he has given you.❞

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah (No. 674)]

Sheikh Salih Al-Hadithi - may God have mercy on him - said:

You were created to worship Allah, and the world was created for you.
Do not work for what was created for you and forget what you were created for.”

🎙 Explanation of Umdat Al-Ahkam 28 Shawwal 1443

TAWAKKUL ON ALLAH

When it was mentioned to Umar bin al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه that a group of people arrived from Yemen claiming that they had Tawakkul and they departed without provisions for their journey, he رضي الله عنه said;

"These individuals are Muta'akkilun - they leave without any provisions, then beg the people - rather the person who has true Tawakkul on Allāh is the one who plants his seeds and trusts in Allāh."

Book: Tawakkul On Allāh
By Shaykh Abdur Razzaaq bin Abdul-Muhsin al-Badr
Maktabatulirshad Publications
P. 41, 42

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

The prophet (ﷺ) used to direct his household to perform a prayer when faced with any difficulty or calamity, and read this verse from the Qur'an:

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give you subsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil).
(Q,20:132).

The prophet (ﷺ) also let us know that the prophets before him also held fast to prayer when faced with difficulty:
"The former prophets also used to hold to prayer when faced with any tribulation or misfortune."
(Fadail al-Amal,249)

Yaa Allaah, You are The first and The last, The beginning and The End,
You are The Powerful and we are powerless.
Oh Allaah bless us in whatever we do, protect us wherever we go, light up every road we take with Your mercy and guidance, make our hopes and aspirations become reality and help us in every difficulties that comes our way., grant us the good of this world and the Hereafter, Birahmatikaah Yaa Rahman Yaa Rahim, Amiin.

Maybe someone needs to hear/ see this

“it may well be that you dislike a thing even though it is good for you, and it may well be that you like a thing even though it is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know.”

(2:216)

Education isn't only a name of any degree or certificate. "Education is the name of our attitude, language & behavior with others in real life."

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, “The one who forgets to send salutations upon me when I am mentioned in his presence has missed the path to Paradise.” [Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah 2337]

#TheVirtueofSendingSalutationsUpontheProphetﷺ

Garlic, Honey & Apple Cider Vinegar (Sunnah style)

DISCLAIMER: This post is not advice. Always consult your doctor before taking. If you do, take at your own risk.

This is an excellent home remedy that you want to keep available at all times in your home. It's great as a preventative and for maintaining good health. There are some variations to this with the addition of other ingredients such as ginger, or cayenne pepper. The base mixture includes the three main ingredients of garlic, apple cider vinegar and honey. Each of these three ingredients have individual benefits on their own and in this mixture, a synergistic effect enhances the properties of each.

The apple cider vinegar must be unfiltered and the honey must be raw, unpasteurised (and preferably organic) honey for all the benefits to be realised. One of the main reasons honey is pasteurised is to speed up the packaging process (heating makes it flow much quicker) - so pretty much all honeys from supermarkets will be unsuitable.

This remedy is an immune stimulant, it lowers blood pressure as well as cholesterol (if you are someone who still believes in that hypothesis), it leads to fewer colds and infections, and is helpful in conditions such as gout, arthritis, and joint aches. It is also a good tonic for the digestive tract and benefits the skin, and is helpful in weight loss. In short, it is beneficial for a wide range of conditions as it is a general immune stimulant and enhancer. You can read the numerous articles on garlic, honey and vinegar elsewhere on this site.

Ingredients:
8 cloves of fresh garlic
1 cup (200ml) of unfiltered, unpasteurised organic apple cider vinegar
1 cup (200ml) of raw, unpasteurised honey
Small piece of ginger (this is optional but old ginger is best, not new ginger)

Instructions
Mix all the ingredients into a blender and mix at high speed for 45-60 seconds. Alternatively, you can put the garlic in first, blend well so it becomes fine - or you can use a garlic crusher instead - and then place in the blender, then mix in the honey and apple cider vinegar and blend for another 10-15 seconds seconds.

Then pour into a glass jar or container (sealable) and leave in the refrigerator for five days, with the occasional stir every day. After five days the mixture is ready.

Variations
There are other things that can be included. You can added a small amount of ginger (one or two inch length), you just put it in the blender with the garlic, and some cayenne pepper (one small to medium sized pepper) can also be added.

Dosage
The normal dosage is 2 tsp in a glass of water, daily, first thing in the morning. The mixture is very strong, and should not be taken directly.
