Ibn
Taymiyyah رَحِمَهُ اللهُ said:
People
have two strengths: strength of love and strength of hate.
Mankind was only created this way so that they may love the truth which Allāh loves and hate the falsehood which Allāh hates, and
those are the ones who love Allāh and are loved by Allāh.

The
Three Infallible Foundations
Shaykh
al-Islām ibn Taymiyyah:
The
Religion of the Muslims is built upon following the Book of Allāh, the Sunnah
of His Prophet and that which the Ummah has agreed upon. These three are the
infallible foundations, and that which
the Ummah has disagreement concerning, then return it back to Allāh and the
Messenger.

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
ۗ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ
وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ
ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ
الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
255. Allaahu laa ‘ilaaha ‘illaa Huwal-Hayyul Qayyum, laa ta’khuthuhu sinatun wa laa nawm, lahu maa fis-samaawaati wa maa fil-‘ardh, man thal-lathee yashfa’u ‘indahu ‘illaa bi’ithnih, ya’lamu maa bayna ‘aydeehim wa maa khalfahum, wa laa yuheetoona bishay’im-min ‘ilmihi ‘illaa bimaa shaa’a, wasi’a kursiyyuhus-samaawaati wal’ardh, wa laa ya’ooduhu hifdhuhumaa, wa Huwal-‘Aliyyul-‘Adheem.
255. Allāh! Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains
and protects all that exists).Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him
belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that
can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to
them (His creatures) in this world, and
whatwill happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything
of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens
and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He
is the Most High, the Most Great.
Two Ugly Affairs
Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn Taymiyah, may Allāh have

Amongst the
people there is he who Hasad leads him to backbite. Thus, he combines two ugly
affairs: backbiting and envy.

Ibn Taymiyyah’s Tremendous Reply
Regarding The Disease & The Cure
All praise belongs to Allaah the Lord
of all the worlds.
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H) - may
Allaah be pleased with him and grant him paradise - was asked:
Question:
What is the cure for the one who has
been overtaken by a disease, and what is the best strategy employed for the one
who has been overwhelmed with Khabal (confused state of mind, mental disorder),
and what is the correct course of action to be taken for the one who has been
overcome with laziness, and what is the path to at-Tawfeeq (success), and what
is the way out for the one who has been enveloped by al-Hayrah (bewilderment
and uncertainty)?
When he wishes to turn to Allaah, he
is prevented by his desires. And if he desires to remember (his Lord), he gets
subdued (i.e. distracted) by thoughts.
Consumed by desires so at times you
will observe him confused, he is sober but yet inebriated enraptured When he
wishes to draw close to his beloved, his means become scattered and he
continues upon abandoning and ostracising
By abandoning relatives and
acquaintances - he beguiles himself (into thinking) that he will find freedom
and upon it he will gain support and help
He does not increase except in
confusion and fatigue. Is this how it is with them that they belittle the one
who appeals to be rescued and saved?
Answer:
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H)
replied:
The cure for it is to take refuge in Allaah, the Most High, and to always have at-Taddaru’ (humility and humbleness) to Allaah, the One free from all imperfections, and to make Du‘aa (supplication). A person must learn the supplications narrated (from the Messenger of Allaah). He must strive in making supplications during the times and places wherein supplications are answered/accepted (al-Ijaabah); for example the last third of the night, the times between the Adhaan and the Iqaamah, during the Sajdah (prostration) and at the end of the Salawaat (the five daily prayers).
In addition to that (i.e. from the cure) is
al-Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness from Allaah). For indeed whoever seeks
forgiveness from Allaah and turns to Him in repentance, then Allaah will grant
him good provisions to enjoy and benefit from till an appointed term.
Furthermore, (from the cure is that)
one must adhere to reciting the daily portion of the Adhkaar (prophetic
remembrances) at the two ends of the day (i.e in the morning and the evening),
and when going to sleep. And let him be patient with what may occur to him from
the obstacles and the various distractions. For indeed he will not remain long
in that state except that Allaah will support and strengthen him with Rooh
(proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself and He will write Faith in his
heart.
Moreover, he must be diligent in
completing the obligatory from the five daily prayers - inwardly and outwardly
- since it is a pillar of the Deen.
And let his habitual practice be
(reciting): “Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah” (there is no change and no
power except with Allaah’s aid). For indeed with (adhering to) it (one can)
bear the heavy burdens and withstand the ordeals, and by it you will attain
lofty positions (i.e. lofty ranks).
One should not get weary of supplicating (Du‘aa) and requesting. For indeed a servant‘s supplication will be answered as long as he is not impatient and hasty - and says: “I have made Du‘aa but it has not been answered.” He should know that victory comes with having as-Sabr (patience and perseverance), and that alleviation comes along with the calamity, and with every hardship there is ease.
And all praise is for Allaah the Lord of the ‘Alameen.

“In the Fātiḥah there are 11 tashdīdahs )letters with ـّ ّ), in the Basmalah there are 3. Leaving off even one of these (not pronouncing it with a shaddah) will invalidate the prayer according to many of our companions, the way it would if a letter was to be left off. Because the mushaddad letter is made up of two letters, one has a sukoon and the other a vowel.”
