How can we prefer the fading over the everlasting?!

 


Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

…how can we prefer the fading over the everlasting?! By Allāh, that’s ignorance from us and heedlessness. How can we value this life over the next even though we see it disappear without returning – so if we do not take the opportunity to fill our lives with righteous actions, we will lose out on this life and the next.

Strive towards purifying your heart before your limbs...

 


Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn رَحِمَهُ اللهُ said:

So strive, my brother, towards  purifying your heart  before your  limbs. How many are those who observe Salat, fast, give in charity, perform Hajj but their hearts are corrupt.

Shaikh Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) Regarding Valentine’s Day

In the Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.


Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:

Celebrating Valentines Day is impermissible due to [several] reasons:

Firstly: It is an innovated Eed [holiday]. It has no basis in the Shareeah.

Secondly: It calls to passion and infatuation.

Thirdly: It is a means of preoccupying the heart with the likes these insignificant affairs and it is in opposition to the guidance of the Salafus Saaleh [The Pious Predecessors].

Therefore, it is impermissible to initiate anything on this day [i.e. specifically on Valentines Day] related to [celebration], whether it is foodstuffs, drinks, clothing, and exchanging gifts or other than these [actions]. It is obligated on a Muslim to nobly [adhere to his (or her)] religion and he [or she] should not be one who goes with the flow – following everyone who calls to something.

Never think that you are independent and have no need to seek constant guidance and firmness from Allaah تعالى...

 

Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen  رحمه الله said:

“One should not rely upon himself  in (being upon) guidance, he should rather ask Allaah constantly that He guides him and keeps him firm (upon guidance) since it is Allaah (Alone) Who guides.

Therefore, do not be independent in seeking guidance for yourself, always ask Allaah for guidance  and for remaining steadfast upon it, and do not be deceived by what you have with you of eemaan (faith), for indeed a person’s amazement with his actions can lead to them becoming null and void.”

The Eclipse is the Threat not the Punishment

 

The Eclipse is the Threat not the Punishment

Shaykh Uthaymeen رحمه الله:

The eclipse is not a punishment; rather it is as the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Allah frightens His slaves with it”. Thus it is a threat of punishments and evil that will afflict them if they oppose His command and disobey Him.

The Prophet (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Every innovation is a misguidance and every misguidance is in the Hell-Fire.” - كل بدعة ضلالة وكل ضلالة في النار

 

قال ابن عثيمين:

لو أن الإنسان أخلص في عمله، لكنه أتى ببدعة ما شرعها

الرسولﷺ؛

فإن عمله لا يقبل حتى لو كان مخلصا، حتى لو كان يبكي من الخشوع، فإنه لا ينفعه ذلك؛

لأن البدعة وصفها النبي ﷺ بأنها ضلالة.

17   /2  شرح رياض الصالحين: 


Ibn Uthaymēn said:

“If a person was sincere in his actions but  comes with an innovation not legislated by the  Messenger  (peace and blessings be upon him) his action  is not accepted even though he is sincere, even if he is weeping due to humbleness, this will not benefit him. Because the Prophet described innovation as a misguidance.

Having the best of manners

 

Shaykh Muhammad bin Sālih al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله mentioned,

Good manners with Allāh is that you accept His commands with joy, happiness and delight, whether they are commands or prohibitions. So do not feel uneasy or feel a tightness in your chest regarding them, because the one who accepts the commands of Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic with content and acceptance will carry them out, as he is happy to do them and this is good manners with Allāh سبحانه و تعالى.

Household chores are from the Sunnah

 


Household chores are from the Sunnah

The learned scholar, Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen –Rahmatullaah alayhi- said:

When a person is at home then it is from the Sunnah, that for example he makes his own tea, cooks if he knows how to and washes up that which needs washing, all of this is from the Sunnah.

If you do this then you get the reward of following the Sunnah, with imitating the Messenger –alayhi as-Salat wa sallam- and in humbling yourself for Allaah - the Mighty and Majestic.

This also brings about love between you and your wife. When your family sense that you help them in their chores they will love you and your value to them will increase, therefore, this will end up being a great benefit.

Police brutality is a grave offense in Islam and it is considered to be a major sin

 

...

In one adīth, the Prophet صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ stated:

“There are two types of people from the dwellers of Hell that I have not yet seen: Men with whips  like the tails of cattle with which they strike the people…*

The renowned scholar, Shaykh Muammad b. āli Uthaymīn  (d. 1421/2001) commented on this adīth saying:

“[These are] the oppressive police officers who beat the people without justification. They are from the dwellers of Hell because whoever aids an oppressor shall receive a portion of their sin that he deserves.”*

Knowledge that lacks blessings...

 





Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin رحمه الله said:

Knowledge that does not result in the fear of Allāh, turning to Him in repentance, devotion to Him and respecting the Muslims is surely knowledge that lacks of blessings.

It Is From High Moral Character That A Person Knows His [Or Her] True Worth

In the Name of Allaah,the Most Merciful,The Bestower of Mercy 

Question to Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-Uthaymeen: May Allaah have mercy upon a person who knows his limitations and worth – [Does this (saying) have an (established) source and has it been transmitted in a hadeeth?]

Answer: I do not know of an (established) source for it; however its meaning is correct. (That is) because when a person knows his (limitations and worth), he will be humble in the presence of his Lord. He will worship Allaah and will know that he is not free from being in need of Allaah in the twinkling of an eye. If he knows himself, he will know his status amongst the people and this knowledge will (prevent) him from being haughty towards them – because the haughtiness is from the major sins and looking down on the people  is from the forbidden affairs. That is why when the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) warned against haughtiness (or pride), they (i.e. the people) said:

 ”Everyone of us loves that his clothes and shoes are nice;” so he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ”Indeed Allaah is beautiful and He loves beauty; haughtiness (or pride) is to reject the truth and look down on the people.”

So when a person knows his (limitations and worth), he will know his rank amongst the people. He will place himself in his (rightful) place; humble himself in the presence of his Lord and in the presence of Allaah’s creation. And whoever humbles himself to Allaah, Allaah will raise him.

O Muslims! Watch Allah (in everything you do), heed for Taqwa in all cases and hold yourselves to account for all your sayings, deeds and dealings. Hasten to do good deeds and perform the obligations of Allah, make Tawbah (repentance to Allah), acquire comprehensive knowledge of Din (religion), avoid Allah’s prohibitions, and beware of dedicating yourselves to this world and giving it priority over the hereafter. Indeed, if you do the foregoing you will be granted glory, security, guidance, and happiness both in this world and in the hereafter.

Belief in the Unseen

 

Six Mighty Wisdoms Behind Why We Do Not Hear the Dead in Their Graves

Shaykh Ibn al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said, in his explanation of Al-Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah 2/118-119:

And this is for (numerous) mighty wisdoms, from them:

[1] What is indicated by the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) in his saying, “Were it not that you would not have buried (your dead) I would have invoked Allaah to let you hear (the cries) of the punishment of the grave.”

[2] Concealing it is a veil (covering) for the deceased.

[3] That it does not cause the deceased’s family to be disturbed.

[4] Not embarrassing (shaming) of his family, since the people will say “This is your son”, “This is your father”,This is your brother” and what is like this.

[5] That we may perish (as a result) because it is not a light type of screaming, it is a screaming that will cause our hearts to be plucked out , a person will die or may fall unconscious (out of fear, terror).

[6] If the people heard the cries of the deceased being punished, then faith in the punishment of the grave would be reduced to faith through direct observation and not faith in the unseen, and therefore the purposeful benefit of testing people would be lost, because the people would obviously believe in what they witness. However, when it is hidden from them and they do not know of it except through relayed information (khabar), then it becomes from faith in the unseen.

May Allaah reward the brother who sent me this benefit!

Two Attributes of the People of Hell

 

TWO ATTRIBUTES OF THE PEOPLE OF HELL

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ (37) وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا (38)

“Then, for him who transgressed, and preferred the life of this world.”

(An-Nazi’āt: 37-38)

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

“These are two attributes of the people of Hell. Transgressioni.e., overstepping the boundary – and preferring the worldly life than the hereafter by giving  it precedence over the hereafter. And they [i.e., these two attributes] are inseparable. Whoever transgresses has preferred the worldly life and vice versa.”
