Emptying the stomach of food and drink enlightens the heart...

  


Ibn Rajab رَحِمَهُ اللهُ said:

Emptying the stomach of food and drink enlightens the heart and softens it, removes hardness from it, and cleanses it for the remembrance of Allāh and contemplation.

Allaah’s Messenger ﷺsaid:

 

Allaah’s Messenger said:

“If you knew the amount of Mercy of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, you would rely upon it and you would not carry out any action from the good deeds.

And if you knew the amount of His Anger then nothing (from your deeds) will be of benefit to you.”

(Recorded by Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyah in Husnu-Zan, Silsilah al-Ahadeeth as-Saheehah no. 2167)

A few excerpt:

----

Abu Dawūd (no. 1426) also reported from ‘Ali bin Abi Tālib (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) used to recite at the end of his Witr:

 اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لاَ أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

“O Allah, I seek refuge in your good-pleasure from your anger, and in your forgiveness from your punishment and I seek refuge in your mercy from your wrath. I cannot reckon the praise due to you. You are as you have praised yourself.”


 NOTE: Added for the benefit of new muslims who cannot read Arabic:

Allaahumma ‘innee ‘a’oothu biridhaaka min sakhatika, wa bimu’aafaatika min ‘uqoobatika, wa ‘a’oothu bika minka, laa ‘uhsee thanaa’an ‘alayka, ‘Anta kamaa ‘athnayta ‘alaa nafsika.

“O Allah, I seek refuge in your good-pleasure from your anger, and in your forgiveness from your punishment and I seek refuge in your mercy from your wrath. I cannot reckon the praise due to you. You are as you have praised yourself.”

Allaah Forgives All Sins

 


 Allaah Forgives All Sins

On the authority of 'Abdullaah b. 'Abbas (radiallaahu'anhu) that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

 قال اللهُ تعالى: مَنْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي ذو قدرةٍ على مغفرةِ الذنوبِ غفرتُ لَهُ ولا أُبالِي، مالم يشرِكْ بي شيئًا.

Allaah, the Most High, says:

"Whoever knows that I have the power to forgive all sins, I will forgive him and I shall not care, as long as he does not associate any partners with me."

Reported by at-Tabaraanee (11/241), al-Hakim (no.7676).  Shaykh al-Albaanee declared it to be Hasan in Jaami' as-Saheeh (no.4330).

An Irrevocable Decree By Allāh

 



An Irrevocable Decree By Allāh

Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله mentioned:

Allāh has decreed  a decree  that cannot be rejected or repelled, that whoever loves anything asides Him will be  inevitably punished by it, and that whoever fears other than Him will be overpowered by it, and that whoever is preoccupied with other than Him will be befallen by misfortune, and that whoever  prefers something over Him will not be blessed in it, and that whoever pleases other than Him by earning His anger, He (Allāh) will inevitably make him (the one who was pleased) angry at him.

Belittling Someone Regarding their Recitation of Quran

 

Question. Is the following statement from backbiting where a person says, “I don’t like so and so’s recitation (of Quran)” or So and so isn’t able to recite Quran well.”Is this backbiting?

Answer. It’s belittlement, yes. This is belittlement of that person. He recited putting forth his best effort and according to his ability. He did what he was able to do, so you should not put him down for that.

Beware of “Self-Thought” Intellectuals Claiming Knowledge

 

Beware of “Self-Thought” Intellectuals Claiming Knowledge

Shaykh Sāli al-Fawzān (حفظه الله) stated:

"It is possible for any person to buy an amount of books and read them, but that doesn’t benefit anything, it harms more than it benefits. Let’s give an example: If you felt an illness, do you go to the pharmacy and pick up any random medicine from it? Or must you go to the doctor first so he can diagnose the type of illness and prescribe the appropriate medicine? All of that is done (visiting the doctor etc. first) fearing that you may take a harmful medicine that is not appropriate, which may kill you or harm you. Similarly, knowledge, you must go to the specialists in it, and take it from them, and do not suffice with just books, for fear  of falling into misguidance, and being affected by what is in some of them from doubts…”
