Exposing Others

Ja’far Ibn Muhammad As-Sādiq رحمه الله said:

“Whoever tries to uncover the affairs of others and expose them to the people will have the hidden affairs of his own household uncovered and exposed to the people.”

[Hilyat Al-Awliyā’, 3/196. Translated By Abū Ruqayyah 'Abd Us-Samad]

Safiyyah Bint 'Umar رضي الله عنها:

Once a woman complained to 'Ā'ishah رضي الله عنها about the hardness of the heart, so 'Ā'ishah said, "Increase in the remembrance of death, it will soften your heart." So the woman [went away and] did that and her heart softened. So she returned to 'Ā'ishah رضي الله عنها to thank her.

The writing down of the Quran during the prophet's lifetime

When the following verse was revealed:

'Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc.) and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah.' (4.95)

The prophet would call Zaid bin Thabit since he lived close to the mosque with inkpot and writing materials. The noble prophet would dictate the verse and Zaid would write it.

There is also evidence of proofreading after dictation once the task of recording the verses was complete, Zaid would read them back to the Prophet to ensure that no scribal errors had crept in.

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

فَإِنَّ الْفَتْوَى تَتَغَيَّرُ بِتَغَيُّرِ الزَّمَانِ وَالْمَكَانِ وَالْعَوَائِدِ وَالْأَحْوَالِ وَذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ مِنْ دِينِ اللَّهِ كَمَا تَقَدَّمَ بَيَانُهُ وَبِاَللَّهِ التَّوْفِيقُ

Indeed, the judgment (al-fatwa) changes with the change of time, place, custom, and circumstance. All of this is from the religion of Allah as has been explained, and success comes from Allah.

Imām Ibn ul-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

The people of Islām are strangers amongst mankind.

And the believers are strangers amongst the people of Islām.

And the people of knowledge are strangers amongst the believers.

And the people of the Sunnah who separate it from the desires and innovations, they are strangers.

And those who call to it and have patience upon the harm of the opposition, they are the severest of them (all) in strangeness.

However, they are the people of Allāh in truth. There is no strangeness for them in reality, rather, their strangeness is only in relation to the majority about whom Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic, said:

"If you were to obey most of those upon the Earth they would misguide you from the path of Allāh" [Noble Qur'ān 6:116]

So the ones (mentioned in the verse) are (the real) strangers to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ and their strangeness is the deserting (type of) strangeness.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever constantly seeks forgiveness (from Allāh) (saying "astaghfirullāh | أستغفر اللّٰه"), Allāh will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from from sources he does not expect." [Abū Dawūd]

Make it a constant habit to say Astaghfirullāh | أستغفر اللّٰه (I seek forgiveness from Allāh) with a sincere heart and you'll see the blessings and positive effects of that habit in your daily life. We have witnessed people being relieved from the darkest and most difficult of situations through this habit, others who were blessed with unimaginable wealth and blessings through this habit, and others whose hearts found contentment and true happiness through this habit.

May Allāh 'Azza Wa Jall make us of those who continuously seek His forgiveness and accept from us - āmeen

Watch and Correct Your Thoughts

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

Umayr ibn Habeeb al-Khutami, رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ used to say:

“Ēmān increases and decreases.” It was asked: ‘What increases ēmān and what decreases ēmān?’ He replied: ‘If we remember Allāh, the Mighty the Majestic, Praise Him, and declare His Perfection; this is what increases ēmān. If we become heedless, negligent and forgetful; then this is what decreases ēmān.”

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORDS

"When you are angry, it is better to stay silent than to speak in times of anger, because when you speak you don’t know what comes out of your mouth. When you calm down, you will regret the hurtful words you uttered. You can no longer recover the pain you caused in his/her heart. That’s why the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: When you are angry, be silent.

The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break heart. And that’s why the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: Most of your sins are because of your tongues."

Types of Fitan (calamities/affliction)
[Along with the advice by Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen not to expose one self to them]

▶️ There are two types of Fitan which affect a person:

➡️ 1) Affliction in the self: (And this is from the worldly perspective). This includes loss in wealth, health, live, honor, hunger, fear or any other type of physical or psychological loss or affliction. As Allaah تعالى said:

﴿وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ﴾

{And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits…}
📚 [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 155]

۞۝۞

➡️ 2) Affliction in the Deen: (and this is from the perspective of the Hereafter). Affliction in the Deen is far worse than affliction in the self. As Allaah تعالى said:

﴿وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ﴾

{And Al-Fitnah (affliction in the Deen) is worse than killing}
📚 [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 191]

And

﴿وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ﴾

{...and Al-Fitnah is a greater (crime) than killing}
📚 [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 217]

This includes being afflicted by:
🚫 Shirk,
🚫 or Bidah,
🚫 or belittling the Sunnah or authentic Ahaadeeth,
🚫 or getting confused even after knowing the correct path,
🚫 or having doubts about the Deen,
🚫 or chasing the desires,
🚫 or giving preference to personal opinions over the Texts,
🚫 or laziness in religious duties,
🚫 or self-amazement,
🚫 or following the path of falsehood after being guided,
🚫 or swaying between groups and parties etc.

Part of this affliction also includes being prevented from carrying out the religious duties by the enemies, or persecution in the name of religion. As Allaah تعالى said:

﴿وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّـهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ﴾

{They (the enemies) had nothing against them (the believers), except that they believed in Allaah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise!}
📚 [Surah al-Burooj (85): 8]

Affliction in the Deen can lead to misguidance and eternal damnation. Moreover, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم frequently used to supplicate saying:

يَا مُقَلِّبَ القُلُوبِ، ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ

❝O Changer of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee and Sunan Ibn Maajah, and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

🌴🌴🌴

Do not expose yourselves to Fitan:

Shaikh Ibn al-
Uthaymeen said:
❝We also learn from this Aayah that al-Fitnah - i.e. preventing the people from following their Deen (Islaam) - is a greater (crime) than killing them; because in their killing, the maximum they'll miss out on is this worldly life. But if they are prevented from (learning and having) Imaan then they will lose in this world and the Hereafter.

And many people approach the places of Fitan (e.g. a bad company, or an environment that would corrupt their religious beliefs and morals) and they think that this Fitnah will not affect (or harm) them. But if they continue like this, then it won't be long before they are overtaken by the Fitnah. This is why the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Let him who hears of the Dajjaal (Antichrist) go far from him for I swear by Allaah that a man will come to him thinking that he (the Dajjaal) is a believer, then he will follow him because of the deceptive arguments he (the Dajjaal) will put forward (to confuse him).❞
📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (4319) and graded as "Saheeh" by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

The important thing is that a person should not expose himself to Fitan. How many people approached the places of Fitan thinking that they were immune to it, but they were not!❞

‎Imām Ibn Hazm رحمه الله stated:

Much needed advice from Ibn Taymiyyah 👍

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"Many people, when they see evil or when the Muslim ummah goes through a lot of trouble, panic, lose hope and start complaining as people who are beset by calamities do. But this is forbidden; rather what is enjoined is to be patient, to put one’s trust in Allah, to be steadfast in adhering to the religion of Islam and to believe that Allah is with those who fear Him and those who do good, and that the best end is for those who fear Him; whatever befalls him is because of his sins, so he should be patient, for the promise of Allah is true; he should seek forgiveness for his sins and glorify and praise his Lord morning and evening."

Mu’adh Bin Jabal [رضي الله عنه] said:

❝O my son, when you pray, pray it as a farewell prayer, do not think that you will be able to return to it ever. Know O my son that the believer dies between two good matters:

goodness that he sent forth [by praying that prayer] and goodness that he delayed [by wanting to pray the next prayer].❞

[Zuhud By Imam Ahmad, (No. 1007) | Hileeyah Al-Awaliya, (1/233) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]
Be firm in your du’aa’ and dont say In sha Allah after making dua.

Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) reported Allaah’s Messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) as saying: ”When one of you makes a supplication (to his Lord) one should not say: O Allaah, grant me pardon, if You want to, but one should beg one’s (Lord) with a will and full devotion, for there is nothing so great in the eye of Allaah which He cannot grant.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 35; 6478]

Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) reported Allaah’s Messenger (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) as saying: “None of you should say to Allaah (like this): ‘O Allaah, grant me mercy, if You want to’. The supplication (of his) should (be filled with) conviction (that it would be accepted by the Lord), for Allaah is the Doer of (everything) He likes to do, and there is none to force Him (to do or not to do this or that).”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 35; 6479]

The Dunyā will come to you while it is humbled - وهي راغمةٌ

The Messenger ﷺ said [see comments for sources]: "Whoever is focused only on this world, Allāh will confound his affairs and make him fear poverty constantly, and he will not get anything of this world except that which has been decreed for him. Whoever is focused on the Hereafter, Allāh will settle his affairs for him and make him feel content with his lot, and his provision and worldly gains will undoubtedly come to him."

*The fact that U're struggling doesn't make u a burden. It doesn't make u unloveable/ undesirable/underserving of care. It doesn't make u too much or too sensitive/too needy. It makes u human. Every1 struggles.*

*Every 1 has a difficult time coping,&at times, V all fall apart. During these times,V aren't always easy to be around & that's okay. No 1 is easy to be around 100% of the time.Yes, U may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. &yes,u may sometimes do or say things that make the people around u feel helpless or sad. But those things aren't all of who ur & they certainly don't discount ur worth as a human being.*

The truth is that u can be struggling & still be loved. U can be difficult & still be cared for.U can be less than perfect, & still be deserving of compassion & kindness.
