You think you’re in ‘your own’ home ?
We are all visitors, even in our own home.

Imām ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

Little success in doing righteous deeds, distorted and corrupt views, unable to recognise the truth, a corrupted heart, laziness in remembering Allah, wasting time, being disliked by others, and feeling alienated from one's Lord -all of these are consequences of sins and neglecting the remembrance of Allah.

They also lead to unanswered supplications, hardness of the heart, loss of blessings in one's livelihood and life, being barred from gaining beneficial knowledge (of the religion), humiliation, defeat by enemies, a constricted chest (filled with anxiety), the influence of corrupt friends who corrupt the heart and waste time, prolonged sadness, sorrow, and grief, and ultimately a miserable and depressing life.

These (above mentioned) effects arise from sins and heedlessness of the remembrance of Allāh. Just as crops grow from water and fire produces burning, conversely, the opposite of all these consequences comes from obedience to Allāh.

[Al-Fawaid, pg.47, Dār 'Aalam al-fawāid

Do you know that Allah has given you two types of provision?

Temporary provision, which is what you own now, but it can disappear in a moment. Your health, wealth, success, and job can all be taken away.

Everlasting provision, which is what remains with you forever. The night prayer while others sleep is provision. Your tears in sujood are provision. Your parents du’a for you is provision. Your love for the Quran is provision. Your good manners, remembrance of Allah, and tawheed are provisions that will last beyond this world.

Do not let temporary provision distract you from the everlasting provision. True provision is the ability to worship Allah.

Chase what lasts, not what fades.

وَالآخِرَةُ خَيرٌ وَأَبقى
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring. (Surah Al-Aala:17).

WHAT CORRUPT THE HEART-

Hasan al Basri said:
“The heart becomes corrupt through six means:

1-Committing a sin in the hope of repenting
2-Seeking knowledge and not applying it
3-Practice without sincerity
4-Eating the sustenance of Allah without appreciating Him
5-Not being pleased with Allah’s allocation (destiny)
6-Burying the dead without learning from them”

– (Read on pg 30, Imam Ghazali, Imam Ibn Qayyim, Ibn Rajab Hanbali, Taqwa: The Provision of Believers. Al-Firdous Ltd. London:1995.)

To eat while leaning
Narrated Abu Juhaifa:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I do not take my meals while leaning (against something).
[Bukhari 5398]

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was never seen reclining while eating..[ Abi Dawud 3770]

Abdullah bin Busr said:
“I gave the Prophet (ﷺ) a gift of a sheep, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat on his knees to eat. A Bedouin said: ‘What is this sitting?’ He said: ‘Allah has made me a humble and generous slave (of Allah) and has not made me arrogant and stubborn.’” [Ibn Majah 3263]

Ibn Battal said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did this out of humility to God.

The interpretation of what reclining entails varies; some suggest it refers to comfort while eating in any position, while others specify leaning to one side or resting on one’s left hand. Al-Khattabi clarifies that reclining is associated with leaning back on a cushion rather than simply lying on one side. He emphasizes that the hadith illustrates a modest approach to eating, avoiding excess. Ibn al-Jawzi asserts that reclining specifically means leaning to one side, challenging al-Khattabi’s view.

Al-Hafiz notes that Malik expresses a general dislike for any reclining position when eating. Ibn al-Athir states that interpretations leaning to one side stem from medical perspectives on digestion. Ibn Abi Shaybah, referencing various scholars including Ibn Abbas, Khalid ibn al-Walid, Ubaydah al-Salmani, Muhammad ibn Sirin, Ata ibn Yasar, and al-Zuhri that this is permissible absolutely. This supports that reclining can be permissible; however, the preferred eating position is sitting kneeling or raising one leg while sitting.

Al-Hafiz discusses the varying opinions among early scholars on the practice of eating while reclining. Ibn al-Qass posits that this act was particular to the Prophet, but al-Bayhaqi counters this, suggesting that it may be viewed as an arrogant behavior drawn from Persian kings. He indicates that eating while reclining could be permissible if one has a genuine need to do so. A number of early scholars are cited as having eaten in this manner out of necessity.

Prophet ﷺ: "A dirham which a man consumes from interest & he does it knowingly, is worse with Allaah than 36 acts of zina."

[Sahih al-Jaami' 3375]

Prophet ﷺ said: "Riba (Interest) is of 72 types, the lowest of them is like a man committing incest with his mother."

[Saheeh al-Jaami' no.3537]

- Posted by Markaz Mu’aadh @MarkazMuaadh

Upon the authority of Sahl Ibn Handhalah [رضي الله عنه] who said: The messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said:

❝A people do not sit together remembering Allah and then rise from their place of sitting, except that it is said to them: 'Rise! For indeed Allah has forgiven your sins and has turned your evil deeds into good ones!❞

[Collected By At Tabaraani | declared Sh. Al Albani: ‘Saheeh’ In Saheehul Jaami, (No. 5610) | Translated By Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis]

@WomenRectifyingTheSociety

If someone had caused you even a fraction of the pain you caused your mother in childbirth, you would struggle to forgive them.

Yet the moment she held you in her arms, her pain faded from her heart. She forgot her suffering and was ready to give you her life, her sleep, her strength, her years.

After a prophet, no human being has greater rights over you than your mother. No title, no career, no status can ever equal the rank of motherhood.

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَانًا
حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا

“We have commanded people to honour their parents.
Their mothers bore them in hardship and delivered them in hardship.”

The Three Greatest Trials for Men

Men are destroyed by three things. By Allāh, no man falls into them except that his religion is weakened, his dignity is damaged, and the blessing in his life disappears.

1⃣. The first destructive thing is private sins.

When a person is alone, his true state of Ēmān is revealed — whether it is sincere or fake.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “I know people from my nation who will come on the Day of Judgment with good deeds as huge as mountains, but Allāh will make them like scattered dust.” The companions asked about them. He said: “They pray as you pray, fast as you fast, and give charity as you give charity. But when they are alone and able to sin, they violate Allah’s limits.”

How often a man loses his dignity, religion, and purity because of what he does in private.

2⃣. The second destructive thing is wealth.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Every Ummah has a fitnah, and the fitnah of my Ummah is wealth.”

Many people become weak in front of money and feed their children from unlawful earnings.

The Prophet also said: “Any body that grows from unlawful gain, the Fire is more deserving of it.”

If you want to test a man, test him in money and financial dealings.

3⃣. The third — and the greatest — destructive thing is the temptation of women.

No man falls into it except that poverty comes close to him, the blessing in his life disappears, and his dignity fades.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Fear this world and fear women, for the first fitnah of the Children of Israel was through women.”

Whoever falls into one of these destructive matters loses the blessing in his life, weakens his religion, and may lose his wealth.

Allāh says: “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allāh is fully aware of what they do.”

*Problematic Issues*

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah [رحمه الله] said:

«اﻟﻤﺴﺎﺋﻞ اﻟﻤﺸﻜﻠﺔ ﺇﺫا ﺧﺎﺽ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺃﻛﺜﺮ اﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﻟﻢ ﻳﻔﻬﻤﻮا ﺣﻘﻴﻘﺘﻬﺎ، ﻭﺇﺫا ﺗﻨﺎﺯﻋﻮا ﻓﻴﻬﺎ ﺻﺎﺭ ﺑﻴﻨﻬﻢ ﺃﻫﻮاء ﻭﻇﻨﻮﻥ، ﻭﺃﻓﻀﻰ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺇﻟﻰ اﻟﻔﺮﻗﺔ ﻭالفتنة.»

❝If most of the people delved into problematic issues, they will not understand the reality of these issues.

When they differ in these issues then desires and presumptions occur between them and that causes and leads to splitting up and Fitnah.❞

Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما) said:

“It is disliked for a man to stand for prayer while he is lazy. Rather, he should come to it with a cheerful face, strong desire, and great joy. For indeed, he is conversing privately with Allah, and Allah is before him. He forgives him and loves him when he calls upon Him.”

Ten Days Of Ramadan Have Passed

Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan [حفظه الله] said:

❝So let us take account of ourselves regarding these ten days that have passed and how they were spent.

Did we have a concern and pay importance by performing acts of obedience to Allaah, and benefit from them?

So whoever has done good in them and had a concern and paid importance to them then what is upon him is to increase in good deeds and complete what remains of the month.

Whoever was heedless in the ten days that have passed and was lazy then it is for him to repent and to rectify what remains of this month before all of it passes away, and he has not attained anything.❞

[Majalis Shahar Ramadan Al-Mubarak, (Page: 46) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

The Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa Sallam) said:

"There are three who call upon Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, and He does not respond to them: A man under (whose authority) is a women of evil manners, and he does not divorce her. A man who is owed wealth by another man (i.e. a debt), but he did not (bring anyone to) witness over it (i.e. the loan). And a man who gave his wealth to a fool, and Allaah the Most High says, "And do not give your wealth to the fools..." (Surah Nisaa 4:5).
