Shaykh ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz bn Bāz رَحِمَهُ الله said:
“When the slaves repent
to their Lord, earnestly invoke Him, hasten to what pleases Him, cooperate upon righteousness and piety, mutually enjoin one another with good and forbid one another
from evil, Allāh will rectify
their affairs, suffice them of the evil
of their enemies, grant them authority in the land, aid them over their enemy, bestow upon them His favours, and divert His wrath from them.”

Shaikh ‘Abdullāh
ad-Dhafīrī حفظه الله تعالى:
Do not feel safe from the evil companionship of three types of people,
how quickly they turn on you and they have no loyalty or trust:
1. The self-deceived & light minded (foolish)
2. The arrogant fool
3. The despicable one who interacts with you for his own benefit,
whenever he feels there is no benefit from you left for him, he turns on you,
in fact, he inceases in his despicable
nature and even strives to disparage you.

Prayer!

The one who
refuses to pay Zakāt will be punished for a period of 50,000 years*, so how
about the punishment for the one who does not pray?

Our Salafus Saaleh Were Very Conscious of The Fact That The Tongue is One of Allaah’s Great Blessings
Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (may Allaah have mercy upon him) once cried when he read Allaah’s statement:
[أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُ ۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ- Have We not made for him (i.e. the
human) a pair of eyes?][ وَلِسَانً۬ا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ -And a tongue and a pair of lips?]; then he was asked
why he cried, so he said, “Have you spent a night really thanking Allaah
(for giving) you two eyes by way of which you can see and a tongue by way of
which you speak?!”.

It was
narrated that Abū Hurayrah رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺsaid:
“Whoever gives charity equal to a date
from good (ḥalāl) earnings – for Allāh
does not accept anything but that which is good - Allāh will take it in His right hand and
tend it for the one who gave it as any one of you tends his foal, until it
becomes like a mountain.”

21- 323 – On the authority of Abu Dharr in a narration ascribed to the Prophet: "Smiling in your brother’s face is charity (Sadaqah) for you, when you enjoin the good and prohibit evil it is charity, when you show directions to a man who has lost his way it is Sadaqah for you. Helping a weak–sighted person by using your sight is charity for you. When you remove a rock, thorn and bones from the pathway it is charity for you. When you pour from your bucket into your brother’s bucket it is charity for you."

32- 351 – On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ashaari in a narration ascribed to the Prophet:
‘Every Muslim has to give Sadaqa (charity).’ It was asked what if it cannot be found? He said: ‘He should work with his hands, so he benefits himself and gives Sadaqa.’ It was asked: ‘What if that cannot be done?’ He said: ‘He helps the person who is in need and is troubled.’ It was asked: ‘What if that cannot be done?’ He said: ‘Command good actions or goodness.’ It was asked: ‘What if he does not do that?’ He said: ‘Keeping away from evil is indeed Sadaqa.’

Allāh forgives All Sins
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ
اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
“And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards
seeks Allāh’s Forgiveness, he will
find Allāh Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
(Sūrah An-Nisā’: 110)
‘Abdullāh
Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما said:
“Whoever
commits a sin, large or small, then seeks forgiveness from Allāh, he will find Allāh Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful; even if his sins were greater than the heavens, earth and
mountains.”

What should I do on the night of Laylatul Qadr?
1. Make the du’aa that
the Prophet ﷺ taught ‘Aaishah رضي الله عنها
((اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ
فَاعْفُ عَنِّي))
“O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, You love to pardon, so
pardon me.”
2. Read Qur’aan (the
Prophet ﷺused
to study with Jibreel).
3. Pray Taraweeh or
night prayer (if you stand with the imam till
he finishes, then you have the reward of standing in prayer all night).
4. Engage in dhikr –
remembrance of Allaah.
5. Make general du’aa
for yourself, family, friends, Muslim Ummah, Muslim leaders and scholars etc.
If a Muslim does not ask Allaah or make du’aa He becomes angry.
6. Seek forgiveness
for your sins and repent from them
(istighfaar and tawbah). Allaah frees people
from the Fire every night of Ramadhaan.
7. Charity –Sadaqah
(Prophet ﷺ was most generous in Ramadhaan). This is the night that Allaah decrees your provisions for the whole year. Use your
wealth that Allaah blessed you with for good.
8. All types of good
deeds.
9. Seclude yourself
in the masjid – ‘itikaaf (can be even one hour, one night 10 days).
N.B The night
(islamically) start at sunset, Maghrib time, and finishes at dawn, Fajr time.

used to advise one another with three affairs: restraint of the tongue, seeking
the forgiveness of Allaah and seclusion”.

A man came to the
Prophet and said,
“O Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم which charity is the one that returns
the greatest amount of reward from Allāh?”
The
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “That
you give in charity whilst you are in good health and you are feeling miserly
and you want to covet that wealth that you possess, and you fear
poverty for yourself and that you hope for riches.”

Ibnul-Qayyim said:
Sadaqah has an
amazing effect in repelling various types of calamities, even if it may be
given by a sinner or wrongdoer; rather,
(even if from) a disbeliever, Allah, the Exalted, will remove from him various types of calamity due to it.
This is an affair which is known by the people, the erudite and the commoners,
and all of the people of the earth can affirm this because they have
experienced it.

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1. Alif-Lām-Mīm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’ān and none but Allāh (Alone) knows their meanings.]
2. This is the Book (the Qur’ān),
whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqūn [the pious
believers of Islāmic Monotheism who fear Allāh much (abstain from all kinds of
sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allāh much (perform all
kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].
3. Who believe in the Ghaib[1]
and perform As-Salāt (Iqāmas-as-Salāt),[2] and spend out of what We have provided
for them [i.e. give Zakāt,[3] spend on themselves, their parents,
their children, their wives, etc., and also give charity to the poor and also
in Allāh’s Cause –Jihād].
4. And who believe in that (the
Qur’ān and the Sunnah)[1] which has been sent down (revealed) to you
(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) and in that which was sent down before
you [the Taurāt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.] and they believe with
certainty in the Hereafter (Resurrection, recompense of their good and bad
deeds, Paradise and Hell).
5. They are on (true) guidance
from their Lord, and they are the successful.
----------------------------
[1](V.
2:3) Al-Ghaib: literally means a thing not seen. But this word includes vast
meanings: Belief in Allāh, Angels, Holy Books,
Allāh’s Messengers, Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Pre-ordainments).
It also includes what Allāh and His Messenger صلى
الله عليه وسلم informed about the knowledge of the matters of past, present,
and future e.g., news about the creation of the heavens and earth, botanical
and zoological life, the news about the nations of the past, and about Paradise
and Hell.
[2] (V.2:3) Iqāmat-as-Salāt: إقامة
الصلاة
The performance of Sālat (prayers). It means that: a) Each and every Muslim,
male or female, is obliged to offer his Salāt (prayers) regularly five times
a day at the specified times; the male in the mosque in congregation and as for
the female , it is better to offer them at home. As the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم said: “Order your children for Salāt (prayers) at the age of
seven and beat them (about it) at the age of ten.”The chief (of a family, town,
tribe, etc.) and the Muslim rulers of a country are held responsible before Allāh in case of non-fulfillment of
this obligation by the muslims under their authority.
b) One must offer the Salāt
(prayers) as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to offer them with all their rules
and regulations, i.e., standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting, as he صلى
الله عليه وسلم has said: “Offer your Salāt (prayers) the way you see me
offering them (See Sahīh Al-Bukhārī, Vol. 1, H.No. 604
and Vol. 9, H.No. 352).” [For the characteristics of the Salāt (prayers) of the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم see Sahīh Al-Bukhārī, Vol. 1, H.No 702, 703, 704, 723, 786, 787].
[3] (V. 2:3) Zakāt: زكاة A certain fixed proportion of the
wealth and of each and every kind of property liable to Zakāt of a Muslim to be
paid yearly for the benefit of the poor in the Muslim community. The payment of
Zakāt is obligatory as it is one of the five pillars of Islām. Zakāt is the
major economic means for establishing social justice and leading the Muslim
society to prosperity and security. [See Sahīh Al-Bukhārī, Vol. 2, Book of Zakāt, No. 24]
[1] (V. 2:4) Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضى
الله عنهما : Allāh’s Messenger صلى
الله عليه وسلم said: Islām is based on (the following) five principles):
1. To testify that “La ilāha
illallāh wa anna Muhammad-ur-Rasūl Allāh”
(none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh and that Muhammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم is the Messenger of Allāh).
2. Iqāmat-as-Salāt: to
perform the five (compulsory
congregational) Salāt (prayers).
3. To pay Zakāt (obligatory charity).
4. To perform Hajj (i.e. pilgrimage
to Makkah).
5. To observe Saum (fasting)
during the month of Ramadan.
