Did You Know?

👉Do not urinate where you bathe

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal that the Prophet (salalaahu Alaihi wasalam) said:

"None of you should urinate in the place where he bathes, for most Waswasa (devilish whispers) come from that."

Hasan
Sunan Nasai, Book of purification #36

Aishah (R) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

“An army will raid the Kabah and when it reaches a desert land, all of them will be swallowed up by the earth” She asked; “O Messenger of Allah! Why all of them?” when they have their markets with them and those who are innocent. He answered, “All of them will be swallowed by the earth but they will be raised for Judgement according to their intentions.”

[ Al-Bukhari and Muslim ]

Before the Last Hour, a people with a huge army will attack the Ka’bah. This hadeeth contains an important lesson: whosoever accompanies the people of falsehood, transgression and enmity will surely suffer the same punishment as theirs. The righteous and the unrighteous; when the torment comes, it afflicts the righteous and the unrighteous, the pious and the sinful, the believer and the unbeliever, the one who establishes the prayers and the arrogant. It will not spare anyone. Then they will be raised on the Day of Resurrection according to their
intentions.

EVERY NAME WHICH LEADS TO THE SERVICE OF OTHER THAN ALLAH IS PROHIBITED!

Chapter No: 50, Kitab At-Tauhid, The Book of Monotheism

Allah عز وجل said:

فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَٮٰهُمَا صَـٰلِحً۬ا جَعَلَا لَهُ ۥ شُرَكَآءَ فِيمَآ ءَاتَٮٰهُمَا‌ۚ فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

"But when He gave them a Salih (good in every aspect) child, they ascribed partners to Him (Allah) in that which He has given to them. High is Allah, Exalted above all that they ascribe as partners to Him. (Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.9, Page 148)." (7:190)


Allamah Ibn Hazm (رحمه الله) said that Muslims were collectively agreed upon the impermissibility of every name which means service to anyone other than Allah عز وجل such as Abd-'Umar (slave of 'Umar), Abd-Al-Ka'bah (slave of the Ka'bah), and like that except Abdul-Muttalib.

Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) commented upon the above verse of Qur'an as such:

When Adam had sexual relation with Eve, she became pregnant. At that time Iblis (Satan) came to them and said "I am the one who caused your expulsion from Paradise. Obey me, otherwise I shall cause your child to grow two horns like a deer by which he will puncture your belly when he comes out! I will do it! I will do it!" Satan thus frightened them (Adam and Eve) and said to name the boy "Abdul-Harith;' (slave of the earth cultivator). They (Adam and Eve) did not obey him (Satan) and a dead child was born to them. When Eve became pregnant a second time, Satan again approached them and repeated the same demand but again they did not obey. And the second child was still born dead. She [Eve] became pregnant a third time, Satan again came to them and put the same demand mentioning what had happened before. Adam and Eve were overcome by love for the child and named the boy "Abdul-Harith (slave of the earth cultivator)". And this is what Allah said (in the verse): "They made partners with Him for what they were given". [Reported by Ibn Abi Hatim]

He (Ibn Abi Hatim) also reports with a Sahih chain from Qatadah (رحمه الله) that he said[1]:

"They made partners in giving obedience along with Him but not in worship beside Him."

He (Ibn Abi Hatim) also reports with a sound chain from Mujahid (رحمه الله) regarding the verse:

"If you give us a Salih (good in every aspect) child, ..." (7:189)

that they (Adam and Eve) were frightened that the child might not be human. Such a meaning was mentioned by Hasan, Sa'id and others.

IMPORTANT ISSUES OF THE CHAPTER

1) Any name which implies worship of others than Allah is forbidden.

2) Explanation of the verse in Al-A'raf (7:189).

3) This Shirk is concerned only with the naming though its actual implied meaning was not intended.

4) The gift of Allah to a man of a normal girl is also of His favours.

5) The pious predecessors made a distinction between Shirk in obedience and Shirk in worship.

﷽

OPPRESSION

Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is oppressed.

🔘The Prophet ﷺ was asked: “It is right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” He replied: “By preventing him from oppressing others.”

{Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Hadith 624}

🔘 Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,

“Whoever has oppressed another person concerning his reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before the Day of Resurrection when there will be no money (to compensate for wrong deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good deeds will be taken from him according to his oppression which he has done, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on him.”

{Volume 3, Book 43, Number 629: Sahih Bukhari}


🔘 Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,

“A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection .”

{Book 43, Volume 3, Number 622: Sahih Bukhari}

Abu Darda Al Ansari رضي الله عنه said:

"When a servant engages in sins in private, Allah puts hatred for him in the hearts of Muslims and he does not even know why."

[Hilyatul Awliyaa, 1/215]

The look after of the parents is more importent than Jihad

Narrated Abdullah bin Amr Radi Allahu Anhu A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) asking his permission to take part in Jihad. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Are your parents alive?" He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, Then strive yourself in their service.
Sahih Bukhari, Book 52, Hadith 248

It was narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulami, that Jahimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah Sal-Allahu Alaihi wasallam, I want to go out and fight (in Jihad) and I have come to ask your advice." He said: "Do you have a mother?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet."
Sunan Nasaii, Book 25, Hadith 3106-Sahih

✒️Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllahu Anhu) narrated that loving others is one of five things the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said we should act on:

‘Who will take these words from me, so that he may act upon them, or teach one who will act upon them?’

So Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllahu Anhu)said:

‘I shall O Messenger of Allah!’

So he (sallallaahu alaayhi wa salam) took my hand and enumerated five (things), he said:

1. Avoid the prohibitions and you shall be the most worshipping among the people,

2. Be satisfied with what Allah has allotted for you and you shall be the richest of the people,

3. Be kind to your neighbour and you shall be a believer,

4. Love for people what you love for yourself and you shall be a Muslim.

5. And do not laugh too much, for indeed increased laughter kills the heart.

[Tirmidhi and Ahmad📚]

*"Convey (knowledge) from me even if it is just one ayah"* [Bukhari 3461].

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام when the world gets too much to bear. To go back to prayer and tawakkul in Allah even when things seem bleak, hard and dark. I calm and align my heart thinking about the mountains of pain he must have felt when he lost all 14 of his children.

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and I am shy to ask Allah for release from my hardship knowing he bore his hardships that are exponentially greater than mine. Ayyub was shy to ask Allah for release from his hardships because Allah blessed him for 80 years, he was prepared to be tested for 80 years.

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and I am grateful for my tribe. During his hardship his close family and his friends started doubting his piety and said things like "If he was a great person, Allah wouldn't have done this to him", "We don't know what sin Ayyub committed that Allah is punishing him so severely".

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام crying knowing his hardships lasted for 18 years where everyone close and afar gave up on him, knowing I have family and friends who love me and haven't given up on me.

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام smiling because I know a Muslim is tested according to the level of their religiousity. I smile thinking HOW MUCH Allah must have loved him to test him so severely and I smile knowing Allah loves me too and every slave that He azza wa jal tests.

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and it makes me grateful to Allah that my heart will be like the heart of Ayyub in Jannah.

I remember Ayyub عليه السلام and learn not to attribute my difficulties to Allah. Ayyub never attributed his hardships to Allah. He rather said "Oh My Lord, HARM HAS AFFLICTED ME."

Remember Ayyub عليه السلام everytime you are about to give up on this world and it's hardships. Nothing worthy is achieved without pain in this duniya and in akhira. Jannah is surrounded by trials and hardships. Glad tidings to those who patiently endure seeking countenance of their Lord.

❝Stranger is the matter of the believer, anything that happens to him is good.When something good hapens to them they thank Allah, when something bad happens to them they are patient.❞
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
[Sahih Muslim 2999]

🤲 May Allah raise our ranks through our tests in this duniya and akhira and grant us the blessing of seeing His Face in Jannah - Allahumma ameen.

No More Depression!

We get nervous, anxious, fatigued, lethargic, tensed, angry, sad, depressed, unhappy, moody. All are negative emotions that stem from the feeling of disliking and rejecting anything that goes wrong as per our mindset. Or when the things don't happen as per our desire or we don't like the happenings or we don't get what we aspire for.

All the above manifestations of our negative emotions are discussed in Psychology under the topic of mental health.

Lack of mental well-being damages our health and social life. It can lead to reduced appetite, gastrointestinal disturbances, suicidal thoughts and fights with nears and dears ones. The list of problems and damage goes on and on.

Two-three decades ago, the terminology of mental health was not known to the common man because people did not suffer from such neuroticism or exaggerated emotions. When people mentioned mental health or lack of it, what they meant was generally schizophrenia or madness.

But now the neurotic ailments like depression and anxiety have become so common that even kids as early as five years old are tensed and depressed.

*Why????*
Because we have been continually programmed to believe that "we can win", "we are as we think", "we create our own world", "our thoughts can change our reality", " you can get all that you aspire" etc.

Please tell me who created you? Who created nature, natural sceneries, natural phenomena?? Who created the wind, the heat, the beautiful moon, the love birds, the colourful fishes, beauty, goodess etc.

Furthermore, who created love, affection, kindness, and care even in the hearts of carnivores.

If you get the answers to my questions, you will be the happiest person in the world.

Very simple fact but made complicated.
Know and teach your children, students, and everyone that we are very tiny, weak and fragile creatures in this universe. Like a drop in the ocean, or an atom in the universe.

The one who created each and every thing creates the happenings and incidents. We can try to avail for ourselves the good and avert the bad, and we must try, but we must know that we may not always succeed.

We are not the creator of anything or even ourselves. The universe belongs to The One who created it. It is His kingdom. It is His sovereignty. His power is over all hearts, minds and emotions. We don't have absolute power over ourselves, let alone others.

Hence, we must ask Him to give us peace, comfort and happiness. If something goes wrong, we accept it because it happens with His Divine Wisdom.

When we develop the habit of accepting and adjusting the matters that are beyond our capacity and ask His help, we will be at peace and will get rid of all the mental problems.

This is what the last Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) taught us. He proclaimed daily, morning and evening.

رَضِيتُ باللهِ رَبَّاً، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِيناً، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَى اللهُ عَلِيهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبِيَّاً

I am perfectly content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion and with Muhammad (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) as my Prophet.

And this is the fallacy of the western world, where in their zeal to achieve self-determination they tend to dismiss the agency or hand of God. And if these self-efficacy beliefs are pushed to the extreme, making a person feel that 'I can be whatever I believe', it can infuse him with a misleading sense of control and omnipotence which is actually deceptive, and overwhelming in the long run. Such a misplaced and undeserved sense of power and control can give rise to existential anxieties and distress leading to chronic neurotic tendencies.

Islam is the only religion or belief system that can balance the unrealistic optimism of self-efficacy beliefs, and the fatalistic gloom of determinism.

Saheeh al-Jāmi’ 6651 | Shaykh al-Albāni رحمه الله | Saheeh

Translation: Authentic Quotes

If you do not enjoin the good and forbid evil you're endangered. You're susceptible to divine punishment.

كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ‌ۗ وَلَوْ ءَامَنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُم‌ۚ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ

You're the best among all nations raised amongst mankind – you enjoin the good and forbid the evil and believe in Allah; and if the People who were given the Book(s) believed it would be better for them; some of them are believers (Muslims) and most of them disbelievers. ( Al Qur'an 3:110 )

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri (Radiallahuanhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( Sallallaahu Alaihiwasallam said, "Whoever amongst you sees an evil, he must change it with his hand; if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is yet unable to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest of Faith". [Muslim]

This hadeeth (narration) contains a very important prenoscription to prevent the Muslim society from all things which are forbidden in Islam. So long as Muslims adhered to it and ceaselessly and fearlessly performed their obligation of enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong, their society would be largely safe from many evils and sins.

Nuaman Ibn Basheer (Radiallahuanhu) reported: The Prophet ( Sallallaahu Alaihiwasallam) said: "The likeness of the man who observes the limits prescribed by Allah and that of the man who transgresses them is like a group of people who get on board a ship after casting lots. Some of them are in its lower deck and some of them in its upper (deck). Those in its lower (deck), when they require water, go to the occupants of the upper deck, and say to them: `If we make a hole in the bottom of the ship, we shall not harm you.' If they (the occupants of the upper deck) leave them to carry out their design they all will be drowned. But if they do not let them go ahead (with their plan), all of them will remain safe". [Al-Bukhari]

We learn from this hadeeth that consequences for committing acts which are forbidden in Islam are not confined only to those persons who commit them, but whole of society, all suffer its consequences. Example: Teaching and implementing Tawheed ( Islamic Monotheism ) to people. This is Allah's exclusive right to be worshipped by all and fundamentally not negotiable. If this is not happening as it should divine consequences become imminent and foreseeable. If this is overlooked and secondary issues heaped on people, such actions would soon prove counterproductive and all of society would suffer. Just like the Covid 19 pandemic that's mercilessly devouring victims.

*THE ONE WHO DENIES QADAR (Divine Decree)!*

بسم الله

By Sheikh-ul-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab rahimahullah
Chapter No: 60, _Kitab At-Tawheed, The Book of Monotheism_

Muslim reported that Ibn Umar (رضي الله عنهما) said:

"By Him (Allaah) in Whose Hand is the soul of lbn Umar, if anyone possessed gold amount to Uhud mountain and spent it all in the cause of Allaah, Allaah would not accept it unless he believes in Qadar (Divine Decree)." Then he cited as evidence the words of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم: "Iman (Belief) is to believe in: 1) Allaah; 2) His angels; 3) His revealed Books; 4) His Messengers; 5) The Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments), the good and the bad of it."

It is reported by Ubadah bin As-Samit (رضي الله عنه):

He said to his son, "O son, you'll never get the taste of Iman until and unless you realize that what has afflicted you was not to miss you and what has missed you was not to afflict you. I heard Allaah's Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم saying: 'The first thing Allaah created was the pen. He ordered it to write. It said: My Lord what shall I write? He said: Write down the Destinies of all things until the establishment of the Hour'. O my son, I hear Allaah's Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم saying: 'Who dies believing something other than this, does not belong to me.' "

In a slightly different version by Ahmad:

"The first thing Allaah created was the pen. He said to it: 'Write' and in that very hour all what was to occur (was written) until the Day of Resurrection."

In another narration by Ibn Wahb, Allaah's Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم said: "Whoever does not believe in Qadar (Divine Preordainment), whether good or bad, will be burned by Allaah in the Hell-fire."

It is reported in Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Abi Dawud on the authority of Ibn Ad-Dailami that he said:

I went to Ubai bin Ka'b (رضي الله عنه) and I said to him "There is something within me (doubt) -regarding Al-Qadar. Please narrate to me something that perhaps by it Allaah would take it (doubt) from my heart." He said, "Even if you spend gold equal to the weight of Uhud mountain, Allaah will not accept it until you believe in Qadar. And know that what has afflicted you was not to miss you and what has missed you was not to afflict you and if you die believing something other than this, then you are one of the people of Hell-fire." I then went to Abdullah bin Mas'ud, and Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman and Zaid bin Thabit (رضي الله عنهم) and they all reported something similar from the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم to me.

The above quoted Hadith is Sahih. Al-Hakim reported it in his collection Sahih.

IMPORTANT ISSUES OF THE CHAPTER

1) Explanation of the obligation to believe in Al-Qadar.
2) Explanation of how to believe regarding it.
3) Uselessness of the deeds of one who does not believe in it.
4) No one can get the sweetness of Iman unless he believes in Qadar (Divine Preordainment).
5) A mention of what Allaah created first.
6) That the pen wrote down all the events to take place till the last day.
7) The Prophet's disapproval of whoever does not have belief in Qadar.
8) The habit of the pious predecessors to refer the matter to scholars to clear any doubts.
9) The scholars of Islam answered with what cleared all doubts regarding Qadar by only giving reference to the statements of Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم.

Source: _Kitab At-Tawheed, The Book of Monotheism._ Chapter No: 60, (Pages: 171-173). By Sheikh-ul-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab rahimahullah.

When Abū Ṭālib was in his death bed, the Prophet went to him while Abū Jahl was sitting beside him.

The Prophet said: "O my uncle! Say: "None has the right to be worshipped except Allāh, an expression I will defend your case with, before Allāh."

Abū Jahl and 'Abdullah b. Umaiya said: "O' Abū Ṭālib! Will you leave the religion of 'Abd al-Muṭṭalib?"

So they kept on saying this to him so that the last statement he said to them was: "I am on the religion of 'Abd al-Muṭṭalib."

Then the Prophet said: " I will keep on asking Allāh's forgivenesses for you unless I am forbidden to do so."

Then the following Verse was revealed: "It is not fitting for the Prophet and the believers to ask Allāh's forgiveness for the pagans, even if they were their are near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire."

The other Verse was also revealed: "Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allāh guides whom He wills."
