Love for the poor is from Imaan! - by Abu Hakeem Bilal أبو حكيم بلال

Upon the authority of Ibn Abbaas – Radhiyallahu Anhu who said: the messenger of Allah – Sallallahu alaihi was salam said: 

“My lord came to me tonight (while asleep) in the most beautiful form! And said:

“Do you know what those in the highest gathering are arguing about? So I said: “No” so he placed his hand between my shoulders until I felt the coolness of his hand (and in a version ‘His fingertips’) between my breast then I was acquainted with knowledge of that which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth. So He said: “Oh Muhammad! (Now) do you know what the highest gathering are arguing about? So I said:

“Yes! (They are arguing) concerning that which expiates sins and that which raises one in level!

(As for) the expiations (then they are):

(1) “to remain in the masjid after the prayers,

(2) To walk, by foot to the congregational prayers and, 

(3) Perfecting ones wudhu in difficult conditions (i.e. cold etc.)

So he said: You have spoken the truth Oh Muhammad! And whosoever does so, lives upon good and dies upon good, and is purified from his sin like the day his mother gave birth to him!. And he said: “Oh Muhammad! When you pray you should say:

اللهم إني أسألك فعل الخيرات و ترك المنكرات و حب المساكين و أن تغفر لي و ترحمني و تتوب علي و إذا أردت بعبادك فتنة فاقبضني إليك غير مفتون

“Oh Allah! I ask you (to bestow upon me) the performance of good deeds, and (to bestow upon me) the abandonment of evil acts, (to instil within me) love for the poor, and that you forgive me and have mercy upon me and accept my repentance, and if you intend to put your servants under an affliction, then take me to you without putting me under trail!

(Allahumma Innee as’aluka Fi’lal Khairaat, Wa tarkal Munkaraat, wa Hubal Masaakeen, wa an taghfiralee, wa tarhamanee, wa tatooba alaiyya, wa idhaa aradta bi ‘ibaadika fitnah, faqbidnee ilaika ghaira maftoon) 

And as for that which raises one in levels (then it is):

(1) To spread salaam

(2) To make food (for the people) 

(3) And to pray by night when the people are asleep”

(Collected by Imaam Ahmad in his ‘Musnad’and by ‘Abd ibn Humaid’ and declared ‘Saheeh’ by shaikh Al Albaani in Saheehul Jaami’ 59 and ‘As Saheehah 3169)

The Prophet ﷺ said “If anyone breaks his wudu during prayer let him hold his nose and leave” at-Tibi said “To hold his nose to seem as if he has a nosebleed. This is so that the devil will not entice him to stay out of shyness of people. This is not lying”

Angels were given intellect without desires. Men were given both intellect and desires. Cattles were given desires without intellect.

So the man whose intellect takes over his desires, is with the angels, and the man whose desires takes over his intellect is like the cattle!

Is it permissible to drink whilst standing? Answered by the noble Shaykh Muhammad 'Abdul Wahab al-Banna رحمه الله رحمة واسعة

Q. Can we drink standing?

Shaykh Muhammad al-Banna رحمه الله said:

The Prophet ﷺ told Abu Hurayrah  when he saw him drinking standing, would you like a cat to drink with you? He said, “no”, so the Prophet ﷺ said, “rather, satan is drinking with you, it’s worse.”

However, in Hajj, the Prophet ﷺ was given Zamzam to drink and he drank it standing, why? Because the ground was wet and some blood from sacrificial animals was on the ground so he drank standing. As for the type of sitting, then sit how you like.

When The Limbs Become Guilty of Sin - [A Brief Admonition By Imaam Ibn Qudaamah (rahimahullaah)]

Know that every limb was created to perform a specific action, so a sign of its sickness is when guilt is established due to performing [an evil] act. A sign of the hand’s sickness is when it is guilty of striking unlawfully; a sign of eye’s sickness is when it is guilty of staring unlawfully; a sign of the heart’s sickness is when it is guilty of not doing what it was created for, such as acquiring knowledge and wisdom; love of Allaah, worshipping Allaah alone and preferring that over every other desire.

Therefore, if a person was to possess knowledge of everything but he does not know Allaah [Glorified be He], then it is as if he knew nothing. The sign of knowing Allaah is to love Allaah, for whoever truly knows Allaah will love Allaah. And a sign of having love for Allaah is that one does not give precedence  to anything over Allaah. So, whoever prefers something from the beloved things over Allaah, then heart is sick, just like the stomach that prefers mud and not bread, due to losing the desire for bread.

Unity Upon Book and Sunnah

Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī, may Allāh have mercy upon him, said:

It is a must that we unify our ranks and call to the Book and the Sunnah. And the one who calls to separation, it is feared that a lighting bolt will descend upon him from the heavens. Because that which the Muslims are most in need of is the unification of their word under the shade of the Book and the Sunnah.

Should Small (Incapable) Students be Debating Opposers? Sh.Zaid al-Madkhaly رحمه الله تعالى

12/1/15, 8:54 PM

Weak Individuals Debating Deviants Shaikh Zaid Al-Madkhaly رحمه الله

As for the small students of knowledge who are unable to establish the proofs upon the opposers and are not proficient in ability to refute them, then it is not permissible for them to sit with the ikhwaanies to debate and dispute them; rather it is upon them to avoid sitting with them to be safe from being affected by them due to their lack of knowledge and weakness of the hearts…and  upon them is to return back to the scholars of the legislation  and to their contemporaries from every salafi student of knowledge who’s source of knowledge is the noble legislation with the correct and wise understanding; not from opposing dreadful ideologies.

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) on How to Achieve Happiness | Trans by Sunnah Publishing

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) on How to Achieve Happiness:

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah –rahimahullaah- said, “And since happiness in this life and the Hereafter is achieved by following the Messengers (‘alayhimus-salaam), then it is well-known that those who are most deserving of that happiness are the individuals who are the most knowledgeable concerning the narrations of the Messengers (‘alayhimus-salaam) and who follow those narrations. So those who follow the Messengers and act in accordance to their statements and actions are the people who achieve happiness in every time and place. And they are the Saved Sect from every religion. And they are Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Hadeeth from this Ummah. So they share with the rest of the Ummah with regards to the affairs of the Religion, but they distinguish themselves by what they follow from the knowledge that has been inherited from the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), from that which the others are either ignorant about or in denial.” Refer to Majmoo ‘ul-Fataawa (4/26) of Ibn Taymiyyah.

Reason for falling into sin - Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه الله)

بـسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

REASONS FOR FALLING INTO SIN | IBN AL-QAYYIM

Imām ibn Al-Qayyim – may Allāh have mercy on him – stated:

The servant does not take up (performing) that which Allāh has made impermissible for him except due to (one of) two reasons:

1) His evil suspicions with regards to His Lord and (his thinking) that if he obeys Him and prefers Him (over the sin), that He will not give him better than it from that which is permissible

2) That he knows this and (knows) that whoever leaves something for the sake of Allāh, He will change it for him with something better, but his desire overpowers his patience and his whim (overpowers) his intellect.

So the first is due to weakness in his knowledge and the second is due to weakness in his intellect and insight.

Worshipping Allaah Upon Love, Hope & Fear | Shaikh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله

Originally posted on December 23, 2012  by The Salafi Centre of Manchester

This Questioner says: “Those who say: “We only worship Allah upon love for him and we do not fear his punishment and we do not desire his reward.” Who are they and what is the ruling of their statement?”

Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan: “This is a statement of the Sufiyyah; it is an error and refuge is sought with Allah, this is in opposition to the methodology of (all of) the Prophets. “Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call upon Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us.” Surah Al-Anbiya’ Verse 90

“Those whom they call upon [like Isa – son of Maryam, Uzair (Ezra), angel] desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah), as to which of them should be the nearest; and they [Isa, Uzair (Ezra), angels and others] hope for His Mercy and fear His torment. Indeed the torment of your Lord is (something) to be afraid of.” Surah Al-Isra Verse 57

Therefore whoever worships Allah upon fear only then he is a Khaarijee, whoever worships Allah upon hope only then he is from the Murji’ah and whoever worships Allah upon love only then he is a Sufi.

And (finally) whoever worships Allah upon Love, Hope and Fear then he is a believer upon Tawheed.”

Shaykh Ḥammād al-Anṣārī (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) mentioned a narration  in which al-Layth ibn Sa’ad  - D.175H (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) said:

The father has ten rights over his son:

         1. When he needs food, he feeds him

        2. When he needs clothing, he clothes him  if he is able to and this is some  of the explanations of Allāh’s statement:

وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا ۖ

“Behave with them kindly in the world.”

[Sūrah Luqmān: (31:15)]

          3. When one of his parents needs his service, he serves them

          4. When he calls him, he replies and attends to him

        5. When he commands him to do an affair, he obeys him as long as it is not an act of disobedience [to Allāh] or backbiting

          6. To speak with him with kind, soft, lenient speech

          7. To not address him by his name

          8. To walk behind him

        9. To love for him what he loves for himself and dislike for him what he dislikes upon himself

         10. To supplicate for mercy for him
