The Intelligent Person

 

THE INTELLIGENT PERSON

Sufyān bin ‘Uyaynah said:

“The intelligent is not the one who knows good and evil, but the intelligent knows good and follows it, and he knows evil and avoids it.”

al-Aql wa Fadhluhu, Ibn Abi Dunyā (point 56), Maktabatul Qur’ān

How the scholars of Islām would honour their parents

 

Talq Ibn Habeeb (died before 100AH) رحمه الله used to kiss his mother’s head and he would not walk on top of a house if his mother was below him (inside the house) out of honour and respect for her.

Birr al-Wālidayn by Al-Tartoushī, pg. 39, 1440AH print

Every Good Upon the Earth is Due to the Tawheed of Allaah and Worship of Him and Obedience to His Messenger

 

-----

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

Whoever reflects over the circumstances of the world, he will find that every goodness in the earth – its reason is the Tawheed of Allaah and worshipping Him and obedience to His Messenger, and that every evil in the world and tribulation and trial and drought and empowered supremacy of an enemy and other than that – its reason is opposing His Messenger and the call to other than Allaah and His Messenger. Likewise, whoever reflects over this in true reflection and contemplates over the circumstances of the world – from its inception until now; and up until Allaah reclaims the earth and those that are upon it, he will find this affair to be exclusively of relevance within himself as well as in the right of other than himself – in general and in particular.

When Allāh makes marriage easy, then let him rush to marriage...

 



Shaykh Ibn Bāzرَحِمَهُ اللهُ  said:

Whoever’s affair has been made easy, they should marry , even if it is before his older brother, even if it is before their older sister. He should not wait. When Allāh makes marriage easy, then let him rush to marriage.
