A man said to someone:

 

“Something shameful reached me about you.” He responded, saying, “O you, indeed accompanying evil people leads to evil thoughts about good people.”

For the acceptance of the righteous deeds it is stipulated that the following two basic conditions must be fulfilled:

 قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُم بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالًا (103)

Say (O Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم: “Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds?

 

 الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا (104)

 

“Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds.”

 

For the acceptance of the righteous deeds it is stipulated that the following two basic conditions must be fulfilled:

 

a) The intentions while doing such deeds must be totally for Allâh’s sake only without any show-off or to gain praise or fame.

b) Such a deed must be performed in accordance with the Sunnah of Allâh’s Messenger Muhammad bin ‘Abdullâh صلى الله عليه وسلم, the last of the Prophets and the Messengers.

 

Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “If somebody innovates something which is not present in our religion (of Islâmic Monotheism), then that thing will be rejected.”(Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Vol. 3, Hadîth No. 861).

In another Hadîth narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever perform a (good) deed which we have not ordered (anyone) to do (or is not in accord with our religion of Islâmic Monotheism), then that deed will be rejected and will not accepted.” (Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Vol.9,  Chapter No. 20 before Hadîth No.449).

What Possibly Can Be Worse than Murder and Adultery?

 

WHAT POSSIBLY CAN BE WORSE THAN MURDER AND ADULTERY?

 

Ibn al-Qayyim (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) said: 

“Muslims agree that intentionally failing to pray a compulsory prayer is from the greatest of the major sins, and that this sin is worse than murder, adultery, stealing, plundering, and consuming alcohol, and that whoever does this is prone to Allāh’s anger, punishment, and humiliation in both this world and the next.”

NOTE: Repost

Calamities and tests in life are in reality a wake up call, telling us to change ourselves for the better and to return and humble ourselves to our Creator. But how many of us carry on like nothing ever happened and persist in our heedlessness…

The great scholar, Ibn Muflih (d.763H) رحمه الله said:

 

“If it was not for the calamities, the servant would become arrogant and ungrateful and would have transgressed and oppressed. But through calamities Allaah protects him from that and purifies him from his inner impurities. So Glorified and Exalted is He, Who gives mercy through His trials and tests (the servants) with His bounties.”

The Primary Objective in Fasting is not about absence of food or drink… Sh. ‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله

The Primary Objective from Fasting

 

Whomsoever fasts apparently & physically but does not fast inwardly from his heart, then his fast is extremely deficient…extremely deficient if he does not stop his sins, since the primary objective from fasting is to stop sinning, stopping food & drink etc is secondary!

“Finding pleasure in disobedience does not occur except through intoxication with heedlessness”.

Translated by: https://masjidfurqan.co.uk

Past nations enjoined good and forbade evil as Allah (Exalted be He) sent His Messengers and revealed His Books to fulfill it.

---

The very foundation of good is Tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah/ monotheism) and being sincere to Him; whereas, the very foundation of evil is Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship) and worshipping others apart from Allah. All the messengers of Allah were sent to call people to believe in the Oneness of Allah (Exalted be He), which is the highest point of good, and forbid them to associate others with Allah, which is the worst level of evil.

"...therefore one should be thankful to Allaah for this blessed Salafi Manhaj and by Allaah none can removed from ambiguities and misguidance except Allaah..."

 

…

Shaykh Abdus Salaam Burgess [rahimahullaah] said:

“The favour Allaah bestows on a servant by granting him the Tawfeeq [i.e. guidance to know the truth and act] upon the pure Sunnah and follow its upright, is a great blessing that obligates on a servant to thank and remember Allaah a lot. That is because to act upon the Sunnah in these times is a mighty and also a strange thing.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Remember death in your prayer, verily when a man remembers death in his prayer, he strives to perfect his prayer. Pray the prayer of a man who does not expect to pray another prayer (pray as if it is your final prayer). And beware of (falling into) every matter that would require you to give an apology.”

[Reported by Ad-Daylamee in Musnad al-Firdaous, Silsilah al-Ahadeeth as-Saheehah no.2839] 

One's hope for Allah's Mercy and fear of His Punishment come after obeying Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger

اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا وَّالَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ 

128. Truly, Allāh is with those who fear Him (keep their duty to Him), and those who are Muhsinūn (good-doers).

(v. 16:128) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The deeds of anyone of you will not save you [from the (Hell) Fire].” They said, “Even you (will not be saved by your deeds), O Allâh’s Messenger?" He said. No, even I (will not be saved) unless and until Allâh bestows His Mercy on me and protects me with His Grace. Therefore, do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and worship Allâh in the forenoon and in the afternoon and during a part of the night, and always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course whereby you will reach your target (Paradise).”

Saying Bismillah before pouring hot water - Shaykh Zaid Al Madkhali رحمه الله

 

Saying Bismillah before pouring hot water

Answered by: Shaykh Zaid Al Madkhali

Question: Is it authentic, that it is correct for us to say, Bismillah (In the Name of Allah) when pouring hot water in the sewage in order that we don’t burn the Jinn in the sewage?

Shaykh Zaid Al Madkhali:

Answer: At any rate; don’t pour hot water, don’t pour it in the sewage nor on the earth, don’t pour hot water. Because the earth is filled with inhabitants, so it is possible that it could fall upon the race of the Jinn or upon their young ones causing some of them to take revenge, consequently possessing the person. For this reason if someone wants to pour hot water let him cool it down with (cool) water until it becomes cold and is no longer harmful, then pour it in the sewage or somewhere else.
