“The Muslim Is Just Like a Bee!”

The Muslim, a believer in the lethal society he lives in, that’s filled with the poison of corruption and havoc all over, spreading rapidly, should forbid the evil and enjoin the good. In a society that seeks nothing else but to corrupt the innocence of the people and tare down the pureness and justice system of the Shari’ah, leaving no remanence of goodness and sparing none, he should stand steadfast like a bulwark. The comparison of a believer especially in such circumstances - as our beloved Shaykh Musa Jibril always taught and embodied - is supposed to be like that of a bee, all the time giving honey - spreading good wherever it goes. He is supposed to be an agent for the preservation of virtues and modesty, goodness and faith wherever he goes, and eliminate the vices.

It is narrated by Imam Tirmidhi through acceptable (Hasan) authority from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is from the beauty of a person's Islam that they do not meddle with what does not concern them."

‎Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:

‎“I so wonder at those who favour sins and prefer the joy of a moment that will leave him with endless regret that never departs the heart of a believer, even if he is forgiven for it.”

‎[Captured Thoughts | Pg. 825]

Imām Mālik bin Anas رحمه الله:

‎“Indeed the wives of the Ṣaḥābah sought the Hereafter, so they did not care about the poverty of their husbands”

‎Ṣaḥīḥ Fiqh al-Sunnah 4/403

‎Shaykh ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

‎"Whoever continuously abandons the Sunnah prayers, then this shows a weakness in his religion."

As-Sajdah 32:12
وَلَوۡ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ نَاكِسُواْ رُءُوسِهِمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ رَبَّنَآ أَبۡصَرۡنَا وَسَمِعۡنَا فَٱرۡجِعۡنَا نَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحًا إِنَّا مُوقِنُونَ

And if you only could see when the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) shall hang their heads before their Lord (saying): "Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back (to the world), we will do righteous good deeds. Verily! We now believe with certainty."

And we seek refuge from the fire and the words or actions that may draw us closer to it~

Al-Hujurat 49:10
إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٌ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ أَخَوَيۡكُمْۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ

The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.

Al-A'raf 7:25
قَالَ فِيهَا تَحۡيَوۡنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنۡهَا تُخۡرَجُونَ

He said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (i.e. resurrected)."

"A person may never slander - which falls under the previous cause (the Apparent Existential Sins). But he may see it and not do Inkār of the Munkar. And that falls under this cause from two avenues... It's the right of a Muslim upon another to defend him if he's being slandered. You're not the one slandering - but you're abstaining from defending your brother. The second avenue is that leaving the defense of your brother is leaving forbidding the evil as well..."
Shaykh Ahmad Musā Jibrīl (حفظه الله تعالى و راعى)

Brothers and sisters must rise to the occasion to defend those slandered, especially their Shuyūkh. Da'wah is pure, but it has proven to be a playground for Juhāl, Husād, decievers, slanderers and gossipers. It's important to constantly check one's sincerity to ensure they don't fall into the latter categories or leave da'wah altogether when faced with the harm that comes with it. May Allah silence the tongues of all those who slander our Shuyūkh, brothers, and sisters in Islam.

Be wise in how you fulfill your obligation of defending your Muslim brothers and sisters, and may Allah make it a means of purification and elevation of ranks for all those who are slandered.

Patience isn’t easy. Patience is tears. Patience is feeling alone. Patience is swallowing insults. Patience is smiles covering tears. Patience is crying for the response of Allah ~

Beware of sadness (احذروا الحزن):


Ibn Al Qayyim may Allah have mercy on him said the word (الحزن) – (sadness) does not appear in the Quran only in the form of forbidding it (ولا تهنو ولاتحزنوا) or in the form of negating it (فلاخوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون).

And the reason for this is because there is no benefit for having sadness in the heart. The most beloved thing to the shaitan is to make the believing slave sad by taking him off track.

The Prophet (ﷺ) sought refuge in Allah (Almighty) from sadness:

 (اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن)

Ibn Al Qayyim rahimahullāh said: Sadness weakness the heart and diminishes determination and wanting to go forward. And there is nothing more beloved to the shaitan than the sadness of a believer.

For this reason, be happy, optimistic and think good about Allah (Almighty). Have trust in what Allah (Almighty) is able to do and depend on Him. You will find happiness and pleasure in all situations.

Ibn Al Qayyim rahimahullāh said: Don’t ruin your happiness with worry and don’t ruin your mind with pessimism. Don’t ruin your success with deception and don’t ruin the optimism of others by destroying it. Don’t ruin your day by looking back at yesterday.

If you think about your situation, you will find that Allah (Almighty) has given you things without asking, so have trust in Allah (Almighty) that He doesn’t prevent anything you want except there is goodness for you.

You could be sleeping and the doors of the heavens are being opened with duas being made on your behalf, Subhan Allah: perhaps from someone poor whom you helped, or someone sad whom you brought joy or someone passing by and you smiled at him, or someone in distraught and you removed it.. so don’t ever underestimate any good deeds.

One of the righteous predecessors said: I make dua’a to Allah (Almighty) for something I want, and if He gives it to me then I’m happy once and if He doesn’t give it to me then I’m happy ten times because the first was my choice and the second was Allah’s choice.

As Sa’ady may Allah have mercy on him said: life is short so don’t shorten it with worries, grief, and sadness.

So be the owner of a heart that breathes happiness and satisfaction.

· May Allah (Almighty) make your times happy and may Allah (Almighty) forgive us all. Ameen.
