In one of his lessons, ibn 'Uthaymeen said:
[شيء مشاهد الانسان إذا عمل في أول النهار وجد في عمله بركة . لكن للأسف أكثرنا اليوم ينامون فيفوت عليهم أول النهار الذي فيه بركة . وقد قال العامة : أمير النهار أوله .]
Something that you can witness is that when a person sets to work at the beginning of the day, he finds blessing in his time. Unfortunately, though, many of us today will sleep and miss out on the first part of the day which contains blessings. As people say, “The leader of the day is its first part.”

Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
مَن يَكُنْ في حاجةِ أَخِيهِ يَكُنِ اللهُ في حاجتِه
“Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allāh will fulfill his need.”
[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmi’ 6619]
Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin `Umar (may Allāh be pleased with him):
Allāh’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, Allāh will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allāh will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allāh will screen him on the Day of Resurrection.”

How can we "FREE PALESTINE" when the majority of the Ummah can't even:
- 🛌FIGHT their own pillow to pray Fajr;
- 🚬FIGHT that piece of cigarette that they put in their mouths;
- 🎵FIGHT music out of their lives;
- 👀FIGHT the urge to look and chat with the opposite gender;
- 🧠FIGHT our nafs and continue to oppose clear Islaamic teachings by using our own deficient logic;
- 🖤etc, etc, etc.
If you have an atom of doubt that RETURNING to ALLAAH is the ultimate solution,
and that you want to insist that protesting, boycotting, or the rulers is THE answer or these should be done first,
then YOU are a problem! 💥

IBLEES PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM KNOWLEDGE
The learned scholar Ibn al-Jawzi -Rahimahullaah- said:
«اعلم أن أول تلبيس إبليس على الناس صدُّهم عن العلم، لأن العلم نور، فإذا أطفأ مصابيحهم خبّطهم في الظلام كيف شاء»
❝Know that the first deception of Iblees upon the people was to restrain and prevent them from knowledge, because knowledge is Noor [Light], so if Iblees extinguishes their lanterns then he causes them to wander around in the dark however he wants.❞

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ foretold that the world would not end until al-Laat and al-Uzza were worshiped again.
https://sunnah.com/muslim:2907a
If anyone read or heard the Hadith from the time of the Messenger's demise all the way to some 30 years ago, he would have thought to himself, how could it be? The shrines of these deities, as well as the idols representing them, were all destroyed. So how could they be worshiped again if one doesn't even know how they looked like?
Well, come 21st century and archeologists unearth some ancient idols of these deities and start displaying them in Museums. It was not long before people took to celebrating (or maybe even worshiping) them for being representative of the land's history and culture.

Islamic Degrees and Certificates Vs. Grounded Knowledge and Understanding
Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan (may Allaah preserve him) was asked the following question about academic qualifications:
Question: Am I qualified to call to the Salafee ‘aqeedah if I have attained an excellent mark in a course offered by a da’wah office?
Answer: This (being truly qualified) does not happen except by way of knowledge. If you know the correct ‘aqeedah and have a complete understanding of it, then you have attained knowledge of it. But it is not sufficient for you to have an excellent (academic) mark without understanding ‘aqeedah.
How many times has someone got mumtaaz (excellent grades) with the highest honors but he has no understanding!?
And how many times has someone with only passing grades attained true knowledge and understanding!?
It is not about certificates of achievement. It is about having knowledge and a true understanding of it.

Hereafter Series: The Blowing of The Horn/Trumpet [Part 1]
1 - What is the Horn (الصُّور)?
The word “الصُّور” means a horn, like a trumpet or bugle. Allāh says,
وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
“And (remember) the Day on which the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth, will be terrified except him whom Allāh will (exempt). And all shall come to Him, humbled.” Sūrah al-Naml (27): 87.
2 - Who will blow the horn?
With regard to the one who will blow into it, it is well known that he is Isrāfīl. Some of the scholars narrated that there is consensus on this, and it is stated clearly in some Prophetic narrations. See Fath al-Bāri (11/368).
3 - What day will the blowing of the horn be?
It will be on a Friday. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; on it Ādam was created, on it he died, on it the last trumpet will be blown..."
Sunan Abī Dāwūd (no. 1047). Classed as Sahīh by Imām An-Nawawī in Majmū' (5/448).
4 - How many times will the horn be blown?
1st View: Two times blown:
The majority of scholars are of the view that the Trumpet will be blown twice: the first time all creatures will swoon and the second time the resurrection will come to pass. Allāh says,
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّه ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ
“And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allāh wills. Then it will be blown a second time, and behold they will be standing, looking on (waiting)” Sūrah Az-Zumar (39): 68.
Who took this view: ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās, Qatādah, Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī, Ibn Kathīr and Al-Qurṭubī.
2nd View: Three times blown:
This view is based on the verses - Sūrah Naml: 87 and Sūrah Zumar: 68.
This view means the following:
• After first blowing people will be terrified.
• Second blowing the people will fall dead.
• Third blowing resurrected.
Who took this view: Ibn Taymīyyah, Imām Mālik, Imām Ash-Shawkānī and others.
3rd View: Four times Blown:
Imām Ibn Hazm went as far as saying that the number of blows are 4: the blow of death, the blow of resurrection and then the blows of panic and shock. They shock those who have fainted from them and then awaken them from that shock.
This is the view of Imām Ibn Ḥazm.
See Majmū’ Al-Fatāwa (4/260), Fath Al-Bāri (11/369), Tadhkirah (p. 184), Nihaya wal Bidāyah (1/253), al-Qiyaamah al-Kubra (pg. 33-42) by Shaykh ‘Umar al-Ashqar and A’lām As-Sunnah al-Manshūrah (122).
5 - The time between each blowing of the horn?
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Between the two blowings of the Trumpet there will be forty...."
Sahīh Bukhārī (no. 4651) and Sahīh Muslim (no. 2955). When the narrator Abū Hurayrah was asked about the forty he refused to say if it was days, weeks, months or years as he was not sure.
6 - First person to hear the horn?
The first person to hear that trumpet will be someone busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels.
Sahīh Muslim (no. 2940) from ʿAbdullāh bin ʿAmr.
1 - What is the Horn (الصُّور)?
The word “الصُّور” means a horn, like a trumpet or bugle. Allāh says,
وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
“And (remember) the Day on which the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth, will be terrified except him whom Allāh will (exempt). And all shall come to Him, humbled.” Sūrah al-Naml (27): 87.

HEARTS ARE OF FOUR TYPES
The Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) would categorise the hearts into four types, as Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamān (رضي الله عنه) said:
"Hearts are of four types:
_A pure heart with a shining lamp, which is the heart of a believer.
_A sealed heart, which is the heart of a disbeliever.
_An inverted heart, which is the heart of a hypocrite who came to know the truth and denied it,
seeing it then becoming blind to it.
_And a heart that alternates between two elements:
the element of faith and the element of hypocrisy- and the person takes on the characteristics of whichever element overpowers the other."
