Allaah causes trials and tests to occur upon the people- upon the Muslims and the believers- in order to distinguish the truthful one from the liar, the true believer from the hypocritical liar, and the good one from the wicked one...

 

Shaykh  Fawzaan stated:

“Clear distinction is not attained except when trials and tribulations occur, the true believers  are the firm and steadfast while the deceptive hypocrites stumble.

Kitaabul Kabaa’ir  554-555

The life of this world is sweet & green

 

Abū Sa’īd Al-Khudri رضي الله عنه reported:

The Prophet said, “The life of the world is sweet and green. Allāh makes you generations succeeding one another so that He may try you in respect of your actions. So beware of the beguilements of the world and those of women. The first trial of Banu Isrāel was through women.” [Muslim]

Riyād-us-Sāliheen vol. 1, p. 90, Darussalam

Respond to Bad Treatment with Kindness

 



Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله stated:

So whoever loves that Allāh  would replace his bad deeds with good deeds, then he should exchange the bad treatment that he receives from others with kindness. And whoever knows that sins and bad deeds are innate to mankind, then he would not dwell on the bad treatment that he receives from others.

The Most Beloved Way in Coming Close to Allāh

 


Farwah Ibn Nawfal [d.41H] رحمه الله said,

Khabbāb Ibn al-Arath  رضي الله عنه took me by my hand and said:

“Seek nearness to Allāh with whatever you are able, and you cannot draw nearer to Allāh with anything more beloved to Him than His Speech (the Qur’ān).”

Shar Usūl I’tiqād Alis-Sunnah (558)

Translation source: Al Markaz As Salafi Leicestershire

“If you see a man among yourselves committing a sin do not supplicate to Allāh against him and do not insult him..."

 

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله عنه said:

If you see a man among yourselves committing a sin do not supplicate to Allāh against him and do not insult him. Instead, supplicate to Allāh to cure him and to accept his repentance , for verily, when we used to see a man ending upon good, we would have hope for him, and when we used to see a man ending upon evil, we would fear for him.

Mawsooah of Ibn Abii Ad-Dunyaa (1/90-91): At-Tawbah (no. 112)

The Physiological and Spiritual Affects of Sins on The Body and Heart:

 

The Physiological and Spiritual Affects of Sins on The Body and Heart:

Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

Doctors of old said, “Whoever seeks to acquire good health for the body should consume less amounts of food and drink. Whoever seeks the well-being of his heart, let him abandon sin.

Also, Thabit bin Qurrath said,

“The body’s well-being requires consuming less food, the soul’s comfort is in committing less sins and the consolation of the tongue is in uttering less speech.”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said,

Sins are just like poison to the heart – if they do not destroy it, they will weaken it. Then when the heart is weaker, it will become less efficient in fighting disease.

The biggest of the heart’s ills occur by satisfying its lusts and desires, while ignoring them constitutes its biggest cure.

We should also mention that originally, ignorance and injustice were created in the self (nafs). Because the self is ignorant, it thinks that its cure is in the following its desire, although this path leads it to its destruction and demise.

He رحمه الله  also said,

Four matters harden the face and rid it of its youth and health:

Lying, rudeness, asking too many questions without knowledge (or useful purpose) and sinning.

Four matters increase the youth of the face:

Chivalry, faithfulness, generosity and fear of Allāh.

Four matters bring about anger and hatred:

Arrogance, envy, lying and spreading calumnies.

Four matters bring sustenance:

Standing up in prayer at night, seeking forgiveness (of Allāh) often at night, giving away in charity and remembering Allah morning and evening.

Four matters prevent sustenance:

Sleeping in the morning (after fajr), not praying often, laziness and treachery.”
