In this short letter, is a response to the recent cope by some ignorant Madkhalis, in saying one must explicitly and specifically negate blood (etc.) for Allah. Their "proof" is brought, and is used to refute them.

I ask Allah to accept and make it of benefit.

It was said to Hasan al-Basri رحمه الله:

“What is with the ones who pray tahajjud
at night, that they seem to have the most
beautiful faces of the people?”

He replied: “This is because they secluded
themselves with Ar-Rahman, so He clothed
them in His noor (light).”

No trial lasts. In fact they are a blessed time for the believer, as they divert all one’s needs and attention back to Allah (سبحانه وتعالى).

Allah loves to hear the broken cry of His slave. The call of a bird who lost its wings. Allah is with the broken hearts, they weep while the hard heart does not.

Some reports from the Tābiʿīn and the righteous carry this same meaning. Among them:

Farqad al-Sabakhī said:
“It has reached us that all deeds are weighed, except for a tear that comes from the eye of a servant out of fear of Allah. It has no weight and no measure; indeed, with a single tear, seas of fire are extinguished.”

Narrated by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā in al-Riqqa wa al-Bukāʾ (p. 46).

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Nothing is dearer to God than two drops and two marks, a drop of tears from fear of God and a drop of blood shed in God’s path.”

- Shaykh Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى)

Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) noticed that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (RA) would leave for the outskirts of Madinah after the morning prayer and return only several hours later.
Umar knew all of Abu Bakr's affairs-except one: why he spent time in that small house.
Days passed, and Abu Bakr continued to visit that house.
Umar decided to find out what was happening inside. He waited until Abu Bakr left and then entered. Inside, he saw a blind elderly woman who could not move and had no relatives.
Umar was deeply moved by what he saw. He asked the woman:
What did that man do here in your house?
She replied:
By Allah, I do not know. He comes every morning, cleans, prepares food for me, and leaves without even speaking to me.
When Abu Bakr passed away, Umar took upon himself the care of the blind woman. One day she asked him:
"Has your friend died?"
Umar was surprised and asked:
"How do you know?"
She replied:
"You brought me dates, but you did not remove the pits from them."
Umar, shaken by her insight, fell to his knees, tears filling his eyes, and uttered his famous words:
"You have exhausted the caliphs who came after you, O Abu Bakr."
Today we must reflect: should we weep for Abu Bakr, or for Umar?
Or should we weep for the feelings and the moral character that have been lost and have declined?

Truth Demands Firmness. When Met With Leniency, the Ummah Fades into Ruin.

During the Khilāfah of ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه), a man called Subaigh Ibn ‘Asal came to Madinah and asked persistently about the Mutashābihāt.

ʿUmar (رضي الله عنه) summoned him and struck him until his head bled. Subaigh then said, “Enough, O Commander of the Faithful! What I used to find in my head has now gone.”

‘Umar (رضي الله عنه) then exiled him to Basra and wrote to its people, “Do not sit with him.”

Years later, when the Khawārij emerged, they invited Subaigh to join them and become a leader. Look at his response:

“Far be it! Allah has benefited me through the admonition of the righteous man, the Commander of the Faithful, ʿUmar (رضي الله عنه).”

Subaigh remained humbled until his death, after once been noble.

We need men like ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه). Through firm discipline, exile, and social restriction, ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه) cut off a potential source of deviation, encouraged Subaigh’s repentance, and set an example for all who stubbornly questioned that which brought no benefit.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“Friday is the day when the people of Paradise will receive the ever-increasing reward. It is the day when they will see Allāh, the Exalted. Those who were the earliest to go to the mosque on Friday will be the first to receive this honor. Thus, the nearest to Allāh were those nearest to the Imam on Friday. The residents of Paradise are eager for Friday, the day of such increase, due to the honor they will receive on that day.”

Those who with their Salah are Khashi`un.

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas said:

خَاشِعُونَ

Khashi`un) means those with fear and with tranquility."

This was also narrated from Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Az-Zuhri.

It was reported from Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, that;

Khushu` means the Khushu` of the heart.

This was also the view of Ibrahim An-Nakha`i.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri said,

"Their Khushu` was in their hearts."

So they lowered their gaze and were humble towards others.

Khushu` in prayer is only attained by the one who has emptied his heart totally, who does not pay attention to anything else besides it, and who prefers it above all else. At that point it becomes a delight and a joy for eyes, as in the Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad and An-Nasa'i from Anas, who said that the Messenger of Allah said:

حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الطِّيبُ وَالنِّسَاءُ وَجُعِلَتْ قُرَّةُ عَيْنِي فِي الصَّلَة

Fragrance and women have been made dear to me, and Salah was made the joy of my eye.

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

Istighfar is one of the most powerful keys Allah has given us. Many people think it's only for when we commit sins, but the Qur'an reminds us that it brings so much more. Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver. He will send rain from the sky upon you in abundance. And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and rivers." (Qur'an 71:10-12). SubhanAllah, this shows that istighfar brings sustenance, barakah in wealth, blessings in family, health, and even peace in life. Sometimes we work hard and try everything, yet we still feel blocked.
The doors don't open not because our effort isn't enough but because our hearts need cleansing. And istighfar does exactly that. A person who keeps their tongue moist with Astaghfirullah will find doors of rizq and ease opening in ways they could never imagine. So don't see istighfar as something small.
