Random Quote of the Day




قال الإمام ابن باز رحمه الله: "الانسان قد تضيق أمامهُ الدروب وتسد
في وجهه الابواب في بعض حاجاته، فالتقوى هي المفتاح لهذه
 المضائق، وهي  سبب التيسير لها،
 كما قال عزوجل: {ومن يتق الله يجعل له
 من أمره يسراً}".

Sh Ibn Bāz: 

A person may find that the paths before him are difficult and when he has needs, doors are closed in his face.

Piety (Taqwa) is the key to these difficulties and the means for them to be made easy. As Allāh said:

وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مِن أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا

And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him of his matter ease.

Some of The Fruits of Taqwa and Good Manners! - Imaam Ibnul Qayyim by The Salafi Centre of Manchester



Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) gathered between fear of Allaah and good manners because fear of Allaah rectifies the (relationship) between a slave and his Lord, and good manners rectifies the (relationship) between a person and Allaah’s creatures. Fear of Allaah makes a person deserving of Allaah’s love and good manners brings about the love of the people for him.

When someone harms you look within

Imam Ibn Al Qayyim may Allah have mercy upon him said:

One of the Salaf encountered a man and  the man became harsh with him and harmed him. He said to the man “Stop, let me enter my home and then I will come back out.” So he entered his home prayed to Allah and repented to his Lord, then went back outside. The man asked him.”What did you do?” He replied: “I repented to Allah from the sin that sent you against me.”

Sweet like Honey


From Amr bin al-Hamq al-Khaza’ee from the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-

‘If Allaah wants goodness for His slave, then He (As’sala-hu) sweetens him like honey.’

It was asked: ‘What is As’sala-hu?’

The Messenger –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- answered:

‘Allaah gives him the ability to do good actions when death comes to him, so much so that those around him are pleased with him.’

[Collected by Tahawi in Mushkill al-Athaar, Ibn Hibban, Ahmad and authenticated by Al-Albaani in  Saheehah no. 1114]

The scholars say that (As’sala-hu) makes him sweet like honey, means  that he receives good praise from those around him.

And Allaah knows best.

Benefit: Should Muslims Extend Christmas Greetings to Non-Muslims?


12/21/18, 5:56 PM

EXTENDING CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO NON-MUSLIMS

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn al-Qayyim (d. AH 751) said:

Greeting non-Muslims at the time of their religious celebrations saying: Have a jolly day or Congratulations on this dayis impermissible. If extending these greetings is not kufr, then at least, it is prohibited. This is worse than congratulating a non-Muslim for consuming alcohol, committing murder, or having unlawful sex; rather, it is like congratulating him from prostrating to the cross, yet many Muslims who have weak faith do so without understanding how repugnant this action really is.

Humankind [i.e. We] Are The Ones Who Wrong Ourselves


12/1/18, 6:03 PM


إِنَّا للَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا وَلَٰكِنَّ النَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Allaah [The Most High] said: 

Truly, Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves. [Soorah Yunus: Ayah 44]

Indeed, Allaah does not wrong mankind in anything by increasing their evil deeds or diminishing their good deeds, rather the people are the ones who wrong themselves through disbelief, disobedience, opposition to the command of Allaah and other similar deeds.

The virtues of lā ilāha illā Allah, mentioned by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (حفظه الله)


THE STATUS OF LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH

1. The Muslims proclaim it in their athan and iqamah, and mention it in their sermons and lessons.

2. It is a testimony by which the heavens and the earth were established and the entire creation was fashioned.

3. Because of it, Allah sent His Messengers, revealed His Books, and prescribed His Laws.

4. Due to it, the scales were appointed, the records were put forth, and the marketplace for Paradise and the Fire was established.

5. Creation was divided into the believers and the disbelievers. It is the purpose for the creation, commandment, reward and punishment.

6. It is the Truth for which the creation was created.

7. The questioning and reckoning of man will be about this testimony and its rights; and upon it, reward and punishment will be allocated.

8. Because of it, the qiblah was placed, the religion founded, and the swords of jihad were unsheathed.

9. It is Allah’s Right upon all the servants. It is the Statement of Islam and the Key to Dar as-Salaam (the Abode of Peace).

10. The feet of the slave shall cease to move from before Allah until he is questioned concerning two affairs : “Who did you worship?” and “How did you respond to the Messengers?”

The response to the first question is by fulfilling: “Laa ilaaha illa Allah” in knowledge, affirmation, and action.

And the response to the second question is by fulfilling: “Muhammad rasool Allah” in knowledge, submission and obedience.

11. It is the Word that seperates kufr from Islam. 

12. It is the Word of Taqwa and the Urwatul-Wuthqa (the strongest handhold of Faith).

13. Ibraaheem made it a Word remaining among his descendants so that they may return to it.

14. It is a statement that Allah bears witness to Himself, the Angels, and the people of knowledge among His creation. [3:18].

15. It is a Statement of Sincerity, a Declaration of Truth, a Call of Truth, and a Dissociation from Shirk. It is the Purpose of Creation. “And I have not created mankind or jinn except to worship Me.”51:56.

16. Ibn ‘Uyaynah said: Allah has not favored the servant with a greater blessing than the knowledge of Laa ilaha illa Allah. Laa Ilaha Illa Allah to the People of Paradise, is like a cold water is to the people on Earth.

From Shaykh Saalih al Fawzaan’s Treatise on Laa Ilaaha Illa Allah.
