Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله writes:

“No one has the right to think he does not need to repent to Allāh nor seek forgiveness for his sins, rather every single person is in need of that, at all times.”

[Majmū al-Fatāwa | 255/11]

Al-Awzaa’ee رحمه الله said:

❝Whoever honours a person of innovation has aided in the destruction of Islaam.❞

[Thamm al-Kalaam wa Ahlihi, (No. 935)]

Sufyaan Ath-Thawri [رحمه الله] said:

❝Indeed Bidah is more beloved to Iblees than sinning because Bidah is not repented from, whereas sinning is repented from.❞

[Tuhfatul al-Iraqeeyah Fil Amaal al-Qalbeeyah, (Page: 12)]

“When hearts are nourished upon Bid`ah, there is no space left for the Sunnah.”

— Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله
[Iqtidhaa’ Siraat al-Mustaqeem (2/104)]

An Inspirational true story happened to a Qur’aan teacher in Egypt & narrated by her colleague to her students.

A Qur’aan teacher always advised her students to live by this aayah:وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَى
“and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased.” [Surah TaHa : 84]

She told them, “This aayah is what moves me. When I hear the Adhaan and I’m in occupied and the middle of something, I remind myself of this aayah and so I get up to pray.”

“When my alarm goes off at 2:00 am (Tahajjud) and I want to go back to sleep I remember: “and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased” and so I get up.

Her husband had the following arrangement with her: on his way home from work he would call her so she will get the food hot & ready; so he can come home and eat & sleep.

One day he asked her to make Mahshi (stuffed grape leaves with rice – very time consuming. You wrap many of them and put the pot of them on the stove to cook). She had 3 more to wrap then she had to put them on the stove to cook.

But the Adhaan came in…So she left the 3 remaining grape-leaves (which would have taken her 5 minutes) and went to pray.Her husband kept calling & calling but there was no answer. He came home and found her in #Sujood and food not ready. He saw there were only 3 grape-leaves left. So he was upset & said:“You could have just finished them & put the pot to cook then pray!”

No response.
He went to her to discover she had died in her Sujood!
SubhaanAllaah, had she waited like any of us to “finish whats in her hand”, she would have died in the kitchen!But a person dies upon what they lived on and by, & they are resurrected on what they died on.

Prophet (SallAllaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said,
"Every person will be resurrected in the manner that he died." [Narrated by Muslim, 2878]

Let’s make a resolution:*For sisters, leave everything, get up & pray as soon as the adhaan calls in, [maximum after 20 minutes (iqaamah time)]

Abdullaah narrated, “I asked the Prophet (SallAllaahu Alayhi wa Sallam): “Which deed is the dearest to Allaah?” He replied, “To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times.” [Saheeh Bukhaari]

*For brothers, as soon as you hear the Adhaan, do wudoo’ & go to the Masjid.
keep reminding yourself:وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَى “and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased.”

*True story shared by a sister, who also suggested the resolution. May Allaah (swt) accept it from her and may it be a source of sadaqah-e-Jaariyah for her. Ameen
