“A more contemporary scenario, they cut the water off in the local city, you have bottled water you can use for Wudū’ or Ghusl in your house. But that water may be needed to drink and cook with. If one may die or cause himself harm if he makes Wudū’ because he will not have enough to drink, then he must save it for Wudū’, he must save that water for Wudū’ – and if he causes himself harm by doing Ghusl or Wudū’ knowing that he will need it to drink then he has committed a prohibited act.

And by ‘Ijmā’, by consensus, and the ‘Ijmā’ is related by Ibn Al-Mundhir Ibn Hubayrah and Ibn Hajar – that in such a situation where the water is needed or most likely will be needed for drinking, one should save that water for drinking and do Tayyamum instead of using it for Wudū’ and Ghusl.”

"The reason that friendships based on Islam and love for the sake of Allah are more solid and everlasting than friendships based on personal interests is because, as humans, our personal interests are constantly changing as time goes on, and we then tend to lose touch with those whom we developed connections with due to those old interests. But when it comes to friendship for the sake of Allah, where Islam is your biggest interest in such a friendship, then Islam is always something that remains important and central to our lives (insha'Allah), so a friendship based on that is never outgrown nor does it get old."

The REAL judges of your character are those you spend 24/7 with & around. Anyone can be courteous and good mannered with strangers you see once in a blue moon.

But if your family has nothing but good to say about you or very few complaints, that's a sure fire attestation to you having true Islamic manners. This is a very difficult level to reach, may Allah aid us. You have some, who will have the best of manners with every stranger. So much so, that whoever you ask about him is impressed and pleased with his conduct. But when you go and ask his mother, or his siblings, or his wife, you get nothing but complaints and criticism.

Good manners and character aren't meant to be a front that you put on in front of the world and discard once at home. It's a lifestyle and a personality that you adopt with the intention of emulating the example of our beloved prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), thereby pleasing Allah (سبحانه و تعالى).

Of course, there are always those family members to whom it doesn't matter how well you treat them, your Deen and 'Aqidah is enough to make you the worst person on the face of the Earth for them, and everything else good about you is out the window. Their opinions are irrelevant, may Allah guide them.

Hasan al-Basri (رحمه الله) said:

"You will not find a believer except that he is (constantly) holding his soul to account,

What did I intend with that word of mine?

What did I intend with my food?

What did I intend with my drink?"

[إغاثة الهفان في مصايد الشيطان ١/١٣٥]

The Trials of the Believers

“The tests come one after another, until a servant leaves this earth with not a single sin. Allāh wants to purify you and He wants to refine you. He wants you to meet him pure so you can be close to the 'Arsh. Refining and burning gold makes it pure (it takes the pure gold out & it purifies it), but pure gold doesn’t come out easy. It comes out on 1000 degrees Celsius or more, so it needs purification. Allāh is refining you and Allāh is purifying you.”

— Shaykh Ahmad Jibril (حفظه الله)

Every problem that happens to us, no matter how small or big, is because of our sins and a sign that we need to head to repentance.

"And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! Make safe this territory, and preserve me and my sons from serving idols (shirk)." [Ibrahim 14:35]

In this ayah who were his sons he is worried over? His sons Ishaq and Isma'il, who were messengers of Allah. They were messengers yet he feared shirk over them. This is how heavy we should take shirk to be, as generation after generation of messengers came from prophet Ibrahim (ie Ishaq, Yaqoob, Yusuf) yet he feared shirk over them.

Ibrahim Taimy said, "Who can be secured of shirk after this verse!?!"

— Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله)

It Is A Lonely Path...

"Being that the seeker of the straight path (Siraat Al Mustaqeem) seeks what most men avoid, companions on his path are all too rare. Being disposed against loneliness and to intimacy and friendship, he is reminded by Allah the Exalted of companions on this path: “whom Allah has blessed from among the prophets, the Siddiqeen, the martyrs, and the righteous, and how wonderful are such companions!” [4:69]. He has attributed the the path to the companions who tread it, the ones whom Allah has blessed [1:6], so the seeker’s anguish of being alone among the people of his time and his kind may be allayed, and so he may know that his company on this path comprises the blessed ones, and not care about the opposition of those who divert from the path, for, though in majority, they are of little worth.

As one of the Predecessors said, “Follow the path of truth, let the scarcity of its travelers not make you feel lonely, and avoid the path of falsehood, and not let the abundance of the ruined deceive you.” If you ever feel lonely, look at those who have passed of old and yearn to join them, and turn your eyes away from those other than them, for the [unworthy many] will be of no avail to you against Allah. If they call out to you in your journey on the path, turn not to them, for if you do they will take you away and deprive you."

— Ibn Al Qayyim رحمه الله
[Madaarij As Salikeen v.1]

WESTERN ISLAM

The ideology of the secularists is not Islam, but they will put a touch, smell or scent of Islam in their Kufr founded ideology as an appearance, so that people will accept them or for other purposes and so they will not be rejected.

That is a Western Islam and that is a religion in itself. We embrace and submit to the pure unadulterated Islam (Millat Ibraheema Haneefa).

Others choose a different brand of Islam which is called the Western Islam, but then you will see they will put a touch or smell of our Islam in it to fool the bird-brained. That will only fool people who are not well-founded, rooted and established on Tawheed.

اللهم بارك لهم جميعا

My life is solely for the sake of your pleasure,
And you know, my beloved Lord, that it's for your sake.

O Lord, for you!
O Lord! Just for you!

I desire neither wealth nor life,
I only desire the love of my Lord.

O love of this world, move out of my way!
I desire Jannah.

I've become a stranger to the entire world,
For your sake.

O Lord, for you!
O Lord! Just for you!

DEFEND THE CAUSE, NOT YOUR PERSON!

Every word you say in Da’wah 'Why did I say this? Why did I type this status? Why did I send that tweet?'

Every time.

Sometimes you are on social media, you are giving Da’wah and you get slandered or you get dragged into an argument or a debate.

If you merely fear that your reply is in retaliation for your own person and not for the cause that you were giving Da’wah in, then back away and do not send it. Complete silence for Allah is better than responding and quarreling that ends up being half for Allah and half for personal gain. Do not worry about your person. Defend the cause, not your person.

Shaykh Ahmad Jibril حفظه الله

“The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful." [al-Baqarah 2:185]

Ramadan is two months away, Insha'Allah and to prepare ourselves for this blessed month we should all watch the Gems of Ramadan series by Shaykh Ahmad Jibril (حفظه الله)

WAllahi these series are so beneficial and make our Ibadah during this month more beautiful and enjoyable.
