فَلْيَضْحَكُواْ
قَلِيلًا
So let them laugh a
little…
Ibn Abi Ṭalḥah reported that Ibn ‘Abbās commented, “Life is short, so let them laugh as much as they like in it.
But when life ends and they are returned to Allāh, the Exalted and Most
Honored, they will start crying forever without end.”
Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr,p. 488
(Abridged) vol. 4, Darussalam Publication
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Three (categories of) people, Allaah will not reject their
supplication: The one remembers Allaah much, the supplication
of the oppressed and the just leader.”

Why were we given this dunya?
‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān رضي الله عنه said:
“Verily, Allāh only gave you
the dunya so that you use it to seek the hereafter, and He did not give it to
you so that you would incline towards it.”
Al-Bidāyah wa-Nihāyah (241/7)
Translated by Tower Hamlets
Dawah
The Imam Ibn al-Qayyim stated:
“Ahl as-Sunnah disregard the statement of people
for the Sunnah and the people of bid’ah (innovation) disregard the Sunnah for
the statements of people.”

Ibn Abil-'Izz (died 792 AH)
- may God be pleased with him - said:
“Knowledge of Usool-ud-Deen
(the fundamentals of the religion) is the most noble branch of knowledge, since the excellence of a certain
type of knowledge depends upon what it is concerned with, and this is the greater Fiqh (understanding) , which is why lmaam Abu Haneefah (died
150AH)
- may God be pleased with him - called that which he compiled concerning Usool-ud-Deen:
“al-Fiqhul- Akbar" (The
Greatest Fiqh). The need of the servants for this knowledge is greater than
every other need;
and it is the most necessary of all things for them, since there is no life for the hearts, nor any delight,
nor any tranquillity,
except through knowing their Lord,
the One to be worshipped,
their Creator - with His Names,
His Attributes and His Actions,
and that He - along with all that - is more beloved to the person than anything
else. So man’s striving is with
regards to everything that will draw him nearer to God, to the exclusion of the creation.
However, it is impossible for the minds to come to know and
understand all that in detail, so
the Most Merciful,
the Most Majestic - from His mercy, sent
Messengers to teach that and call to it;
and to give good news to those who accept their Call and to warn those who
reject it. The key to their Call and the essence of their message was the
servant’s drawing closer to Almighty God - the Most
Perfect - through His Names,
Attributes and Actions,
since all that the Messengers were ordered with is built upon this. This then
is followed by two great principles: Firstly: Knowing the path
that leads to Him and that is the Sharee’ah
(Islamic Law and Way) which is comprised of His orders and prohibitions.
Secondly: That those following the path know what lies in store
for them, which is endless bliss. So the people who know God
best are the ones who best follow the way to Him; and know best what lies at
the end of the way.”

In the Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The
Bestower of Mercy
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: The
Daraahim [i.e. monies] are four types:
[1] The dirham [i.e. money] that was earned in
obedience to Allaah and spent to fulfil Allaah’s Rights. This is of the best
Daraahim.
[2] The dirham that was earned in disobedience to
Allaah and spent in disobedience to Allaah. This one is the most evil of the
Daraahim.
[3] The dirham that was earned by way of harming a
Muslim and spent to harm a Muslim. This one is the same as [dirham number 2].
[4] The dirham that was earned by way of
permissible means and spent on permissible desires. This one is neither for nor
against [you].
This is the origin of Daraahim.

Sheikh Uthaymeen:
When a person increases in
luxuriousness, his greatest concern is to [indulge] his body in luxuriousness - A
body whose final state will be worms and rot. It is as if the human being was
not created for a great purpose – the enjoyable things of the dunya are only a
means of [fulfilling needs].
Ibn Taymiyyah said:
It is befitting that a person
utilizes wealth in the manner he utilizes his donkey for riding [i.e. when he
needs it].
