Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

No one regularly sings or listens to song except that his heart falls into nifaaq (hypocrisy) without him realizing. If such a person understood the reality of nifaaq and its end he would see it in his own heart.

Never do the love of song and the love of Qur’an come together in a person’s heart except that one expels the other.

I and others have witnessed how heavy the Qur’an feels to singers and song-listeners; how they coil when it is recited and how they get angry with a reciter when he recites too long for them (in prayer etc); and how their hearts do not benefit from what he recites: they are not moved to do anything by it.

But when the Qur’an of Shaytaan comes, laa ilaaha illallaah! How they lower their voices and settle down! How their hearts feel at peace and how the crying and emotions start; how moved they are inwardly and outwardly and spend on clothing and perfume and staying up hoping for a long night ahead. If this is not nifaaq then it is certainly the way to it and its foundation.

Ibn ʿUmar RaḍiAllāhu-ʿAnhumā said:

“Making parents cry is from disobedience and MAJOR SINS.”

● [الأدب المفرد للإمام البخاري ٣١]

The more you worry about the Dunya, the less you will have concern for the Hereafter. No wonder our prayers lack in Khushoo’, as even in our prayers we are occupied with worldly affairs.

Maalik Ibn Deenaar said:

❝In proportion to the worry you have for the Dunya (worldly life), that (equal proportion) of concern for the Aakhirah (Hereafter) is removed from your heart; and in proportion to the worry you have for the Hereafter, that (equal proportion) of concern for the Dunya is removed from your heart.❞

♦ *The Great Value of al-Hamdulillaah*

Abu’l-Fidaa’ Ismaa’eel ibn Kathir wrote the following in his tafsir of surah al-Fatihah:
وقال القرطبي في تفسيره ، وفي نوادر الأصول عن أنس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : لو أن الدنيا بحذافيرها في يد رجل من أمتي ثم قال : الحمد لله ، لكان الحمد لله أفضل من ذلك . قال القرطبي وغيره : أي لكان إلهامه الحمد لله أكبر نعمة عليه من نعم الدنيا ؛ لأن ثواب الحمد لا يفنى ونعيم الدنيا لا يبقى ، قال الله تعالى : المال والبنون زينة الحياة الدنيا والباقيات الصالحات خير عند ربك ثوابا وخير أملا [ الكهف : 46 ] .ـ
al-Qurtubi said in his tafsir: In the book Nawaadir al-Usool, it is reported that Anas narrated that the Prophet said, *“If the entire dunya were to be in the hands of a man from among my ummah and then he were to say, ‘alhamdulillaah‘, that alhamdulillaah would be better for him than all of that.”*
al-Qurtubi and others commented, *“Meaning: his being inspired to say alhamdulillaah* is a greater blessing for him than the pleasures of *this worldly life because the reward of praising Allah does not perish while the pleasures of this life do not last.”*
Allah said:

الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

*Wealth and children are but adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for one’s hope.* (18:46)

Al-Imām ibn ul-Jawzi, [may Allāh have mercy on him], said:

“Never despair of the Mercy of Allāh, even if the trial is long!”

Sayyid ul-Khātir | Page 439 | Al-Imām ibn ul-Jawzi [may Allāh have mercy on him]

Translation: Authentic Quotes

"But the majority of the people do it."

Simple response: Which majority?

Shaykh Dr Badr al-Utaybi wrote:

The Prophet ﷺ lived for 23 years after his mission began and never celebrated his birthday.

• Following him, there were 114,000 companions,
• the Taabi'oon,
• their seven jurists,
• the followers of the Taabi'oon,
• the jurists of the four main schools of thought (madhabs),
• the followers of these schools,
• the authors of the six major Hadith collections,
• and many virtuous generations.

None of them celebrated the Prophet's birthday. So, how can celebrating it today be considered a form of worship?

#MawlidunNabi

The reason why the sahabah, the tabi'een, the tabi'i tabi'een, and the 4 imams did not talk about the Mawlid because it came 5 centuries after the Prophet ﷺ by the Fatamids' Rawafidh!

Mawlid has no place in Islam. You won't love the Prophet ﷺ more than his wives & companions.

We live in a time where no matter how 'nicely' you try to remind against & forbid munkar, people will see you as foe

It makes so much more sense now why Allah, with his infinite wisdom, specifically mentioned ''believers'' (when He could've said Muslims) in Surah Dhariyat v. 55 - meaning, only the believing hearts benefit from being reminded 💛

What do you do now? Let them suit themselves. Our role is to enjoin the good & forbid the evil. Indeed there's gentleness, hikmah & speaking with knowledge but the discomfort (rage) of people when you speak the haqq as Allah commanded is not your matter to manage. Leave them to it

📚Is your MAIN concern the Akhira or Dunya?

It was narrated that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Whoever is mainly concerned about the Hereafter, Allaah will make him feel independent of others and will make him focused and content, and his worldly affairs will fall into place.

But whoever is mainly concerned with this world, Allaah will make him feel in constant need of others and will make him distracted and unfocused, and he will get nothing of this world except what is decreed for him.”

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2389; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6510).

❝A person comes with Nothing,
Then strives for Everything,
Then leaves Everything,
And goes with Nothing,
Then gives account for Everything.❞

.....are we ready to enter this real home ?!!
I dont think I am ...😔

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'Both legal and illegal things are evident but in between them there are doubtful (suspicious) things and most of the people have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these suspicious things saves his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in these suspicious things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else and at any moment he is liable to get in it. (O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allah on the earth is His illegal (forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الْحَلاَلُ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامُ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الْمُشَبَّهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِيِنِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي الشُّبُهَاتِ كَرَاعٍ يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى، يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهُ‏.‏ أَلاَ وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، أَلاَ إِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ مَحَارِمُهُ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ‏.‏ أَلاَ وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ ‏"‌‏.‏

Ibn al-Jawzi said:

“Something was causing me a great deal of grief and distress, and I started to think long and hard about how to get out of this situation by any means, but I could not find any way out. Then I came across this verse:

“… *And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out [of every difficulty]*.” (Surah Talaq, 65:2)

I realized that Taqwa ( piety, fearing Allah ) is the way out of every kind of grief and distress. As soon as I followed the path of Taqwa, I found the way out."

We live in era in which open sinners are defended and advisors are shunned.

This is not about someone who sins privately. If one sins privately and you happen to see him, then the default is to conceal his sins. That is, if such a person is known to be good.

But if this person is known to be a corrupt habitual sinner, then there are times in which such a person has to be exposed in order to teach him and others like him a lesson.

As for the one who is known to be a sinner on a public level, parading his sins in front of people and especially on social media, and outright admitting them and having the audacity to persist, then such a person does not deserve to have his sins concealed, whatever that means.

So, one who is a habitual sinner publicly, and even one who is known to be corrupt and is caught sinning privately, then it is not appropriate to come along and say that such a person should not be "exposed".

The well-being of the society comes before the well-being of individuals. The general masses have to be warned from such corrupt people who have no shame.

If Allāh conceals your sin, and you insist on making it public, then do not expect to be safe, whether in this life or the next.

Narrated Abū Hurayrah: I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ saying. "All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujāhirīn (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people). An example of such disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allāh screens it from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says, 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,' though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes Allāh's screen from himself." [Bukhārī - 6069]

And yes, we WILL judge public sinners and call them out for their sins. And it is Allāh who will deal with them in the Hereafter.

Narrated ‘Umar Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb: People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Allāh's Apostle but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favor the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allāh will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good. [Bukhārī - 2641]

A TRAVELLER IN THE DUNYĀ.

What does a traveller need? Minimums! Bare essentials to get through his journey and to reach the final destination. So the final destination here is Al Jannah in sha Allah. The wise traveller loads to the brim all what he needs to reach this exalted destination.

‘Abdullāh Ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله عنه said that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ was sleeping on a mat, then he stood, and the mat had left marks on his side.

We said, “O Messenger of Allāh! We could get a bed for you.”

He replied, “What do I have to do with this world? I am not in this world, but as a rider seeking shade under a tree, then he departs and leaves it behind.”

[Jamī’ At-Tirmidhī, 2377. Translated By Abū Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid]

✒️Do Not Beautify Yourself with Knowledge:

It is reported that Ḥabīb b. ʿUbayd (Allāh have mercy on him) said:

"Learn knowledge, understand it and benefit from it (live by it); and do not study it in order to decorate yourself with it, for if you live long you will likely see a time when knowledge will be used for beautification like a man beautifies himself with his garments."

[Ibn Al-Mubārak, Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqāʾiq no. 1056.📚]

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Luḥaydān (r. A),

“If someone asks you to assist them for the sake of Allāh (in His name) and you have the means to help, it becomes obligatory upon you to help them.”

-Sharḥ Kitāb at-Tawḥīd

"I read the quran and noticed that Allāh never praised a person except after testing them."

Abu Abbās Ibn Ata [Talbees Iblees pg. 474]

Hadith

Abu Huraira (Radiallahu anhu)
Reported: the messenger of Allah (Sallawahu alaihi wasallam) said:

"There are (three types) of people to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purifying them, nor look at them, and they will have a painful punishment.
These are:

1. An aged man who commits Zina (illicit sexual act),

2. A rules who lies, and

3. A proud poor person."

[Muslim]

Commentary:
Here "will not speak" mean He will not say anything which will please them, not to talk happily and willingly. Adultery is forbidden to everyone, condemnable if an old man commits it, because to be guilty of such a detestable act in old age shows that the adulterer has become hardened in sin and his heart is free from the fear of Allah.
Lying is forbidden to everybody. But it is particularly vicious in case of a king or head of state. Since he possesses all powers and resources, he has little reason to tell a lie, Hence, if he spite of all this he invents a lie, it will betray his vicious mind and luck of God-consciousness. Similarly, all humans are prohibited from giving vent to pride and arrogance. But if a beggar or destitute, who has no reason to claim dignity and superiority, displays arrogance, it will be convincing proof of his differences to the fear of Allah and Shari-ah rules. From this point of view, his arrogance is more abominable and disgusting than that of a wealthy man.

A Disliked Qadr - What A Person Should Do If He Has Been Afflicted With Qadr Which He Dislikes
🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:

‘If a disliked Qadr crosses a person, then he has six considerations:

The first- consideration is of Tawheed, and that Allaah is the One who destined it for him, willed it for him, created him. Whatever Allaah wants occurs and whatever Allaah does not want does not occur.

The second- consideration is of justice, and that it will occur with Allaah’s command. It is just in fulfilling Allaah’s justice.

The third- consideration is of mercy, and that Allah’s mercy in what has been destined is generally from Allaah’s Anger and recompense, His mercy is present but hidden and not apparent.

The fourth- the consideration of wisdom, that the Allaah’s Wisdom -Subhanahu- necessitated this destiny. Allaah did not destine this in vain or command it for no reason.

The fifth- consideration is of Praise, that all complete praise is for Allaah -Subhanahu- for this destined Qadr from whichever way you look at it.

The sixth- the consideration of servitude of worship, and that a person is purely a slave of Allaah from every point of view. The regulations of his Master apply to him and are carried out due to him being his master’s possession and His slave. So Allaah disposes him under His destined rulings just as Allaah disposes him under rulings of the Deen, therefore, the slave of Allaah has to conform and proceed with these rulings.
