Al-'Āfiyah العَافِيَة is a word with a deep meaning. Henceforth, it means saving (one's) Deen from fitnah, and also (safety) from the loss of health of the body, in addition to protection of one's ahl and wealth from those calamities too.
What is the difference between seeking 'Afuw (الْعَفْوَ) and seeking 'Āfiyah (العَافِيَة)?
'Afuw (الْعَفْوَ) means waiving and erasion; this is the erasing of the Uqūbah (Punishment/Retaliation) due for the sin.
On the other hand, (المَغْفِرَة) means forgiveness in return for his Thawāb (rewards). Therefore, Maghfirah is an Attribute that is only related to Allāh and not to His slaves. So we cannot refer to anyone else with that which is smiliar to اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّه (O Allāh, forgive me).
It is said that (الْعَفْوَ) is erasing of the Punishment and that (المَغْفِرَة) is saving one from being exposed and the humiliation/degradation thereafter, as one is only completely freed from the Punishment of Hell when one is saved from the humiliation (that stems from those sins and wrongdoings).
Hence, (الْعَفْوَ) is being rescued from the Bodily Punishment while (المَغْفِرَة) is related to the Spiritual one.
Based on this, (الْعَافِيَةَ) is completely different from the two (الْعَفْوَ and المَغْفِرَة)- it is the well-being of a slave from all ailments and calamities that they face in the dunyā and ākhirah. And the meaning is vast.
[For more details: source]
It is said in a Hadīth reported by at-Tirmithī and Ahmad:
Mu'ādh Ibn Rifā'āh narrated from his father:
Abū Bakr as-Siddīq rose to the minbar and started weeping and said:
Last year, Rasūlullah ﷺ rose to the minbar and wept. Then he said:
«سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فَإِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يُعْطَ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ»
“Ask Allāh for الْعَفْوَ and الْعَافِيَةَ for indeed after the certainty (of faith), there is nothing that has been given to anyone of you which is better than الْعَافِيَةَ.”
At-Tirmithī said: This chain is Hasan Gharīb. And al-Arnaoot said in the Takhrīj of the Musnad: Its chain is Hasan. (What is most likely is that this is mawqūf as we cited in the previous post.)

♥️ In these blessed final nights (the last ten nights of Ramadan), we have been given the blessing by Allah to experience and live through them. Please remember our dear Shaykh Musa in your adi’yah. The Shaykh has been a beacon of light, hope, wisdom, guidance and knowledge for nearly a century. He is from the senior A’immah of our time (May Allah preserve him), standing as a bulwark against Shirk and bid’ah. He has educated and led many, nurturing a generation upon the true essence of Tawheed and revitalizing the pure original uncontaminated religion the Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم came with.
He is the most gentle and humble soul we've ever encountered, meeting trials and tribulations with a smile and patience. We saw nothing from him but forbearance against the oppression and harm against him. The first one (in his time) to speak for the Muslim Ummah when everyone else forsook it, hastening to fulfil their needs even at his own expense. Abandoned, exiled and imprisoned. He is merciful towards the believers and a thorn in the eyes of the disbelievers.
He is our Shaykh, we hold him in the highest regard. An embodiment of knowledge and patience. Indeed, he is a Shaykh who embodies the knowledge of the early generations as if the Salaf al-Saalih (pious predecessors) stood before us. We say about him what ibn Qayyim said about his teacher (Ibn Taymiyyah), when our Imaan would get low and our faith was wavering, we would see our Shaykh and our Imaan would be reignited.
Particularly in the last few months, our Shaykh حفظه الله has been extremely unwell. His sickness has been extreme. To the extent that despite his passion and love for solving problems, helping resolve matters and counselling spouses (as a marriage counsellor) his ailment has for the first time prevented him from accepting calls. So, ask Allah to give him a speedy recovery and long life filled with good deeds. He is a blessing amongst us. ♥️

#NEW | How to Teach A Child to Love Allah? | (21) Ramadān 1445 Q&A
Forwarded from Lanterns of Tawheed
“We used to be young.
We used to pray behind the Imām and wonder at the long prostrations.
Then the years passed by us, stealing our innocence along with them. Life levied upon us its trials and we began to shoulder our Deen on our backs.
We grew.
We grew until we began to lead the people in prayer, and became surprised to hear them shifting around in discomfort during the prostration.
How naive of Life is the one who doesn’t yearn for the prostrations to be prolonged. The days passed and we too passed from such a state to another…”
