It is as though Allah, through His subtle gentleness, draws your heart away from becoming attached to a single wound, until you become occupied with Him alone and forget that wound, then the next, and the next, until you are no longer a captive to any wound, but only a captive to Him.

It is a reward, yes, a reward!

For when the heart is overwhelmed by the multitude of blows it receives, it becomes completely broken before Allah, and is freed from dependence upon any cause or created being. All consolation then becomes with Allah alone, and all hope rests with Allah alone.

So what I once thought was constriction was, in reality, preparation for me to experience complete detachment [from everything besides Allah].

I can only say:

“Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return; and to Him is the final return and destination. So to Allah belongs all praise, in the beginning and in the Hereafter.”

Sheikh Abu al-Ala al-Rashid (translated by akh Ibrahim al-Ansari)

Tarbiyyatun Khassah of the Rabb

Have you thanked and praised Allah today?

Aisha reported: One night in bed, I missed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so I looked for him and my hand touched his feet while he was in prostration. They were raised, and the Prophet ﷺ was saying,

اللَّهُمَّ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لاَ أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

“O Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger and in Your forgiveness from Your punishment. I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot fully praise You, for You are as You have praised Yourself.”

—Sahih Muslim 486

Six Months to go till Ramaḍān Bi-idhnillāh

◽️It is reported that Muʿlā b. Al-Faḍl رحمه الله said:

They (the Salaf) used to supplicate to Allāh for six months asking Him to get them to the month of Ramaḍān; and they used to supplicate for six months that Allāh accept [their fasting and other worship in Ramaḍān].

—Abul-Qāsim Al-Aṣbahānī, Al-Targhīb wa Al-Tarhīb article 1761

◽️‘Amr Ibn Qays رحمه الله said:

“Glad tidings to the one who rectifies himself before Ramaḍān”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

‎ “When your companion becomes angry and says something that is unwarranted, you should not take it too hard. His situation is that of a drunken person who is not aware of what is taking place.

Instead, be patient, even if it means only for a little while. If you reciprocate his words with harsh words of your own, you become like the sane person who seeks revenge on a madman, or the conscious person who seeks retribution from an unconscious one.

Look at him with a merciful eye and pity him for his actions.”

[سيد الخاطر صحفة ٤٠٦]

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:

“Whoever sets his tongue free to slander and speak about the honor of the Muslims, and seeks their faults, Allāh will hold back his tongue from professing the Shahādah at the time of death!.”

[Bahr al-Dumoo’ | Vol. 1, Pg. 224]

Dispraise of Lying:

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“The cure of this disease is to know Allāh's punishment for a liar and to be certain that when a person continuously lies he will eventually be exposed one day, then he will be disrespected in such a way that cannot be averted; his shame will increase, earn people's disrespect to the extent that they will not believe him even when he is truthful, and their distrust will exceed beyond what he lied about.”

[Disciplining the Soul | Pg. 42]

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:

"Man has been distinguished by intellect only so that he would act according to it. Bring it to the fore, use it in contemplation and spend time alone with yourself.

You will conclude that you are a created being who has responsibilities and obligations and that the two angels are counting your every word and glance.

Every breath is a step closer to death. The time we spend in this world is short, the time we are held in our graves is long, and the punishment for following our base desires is calamitous.”

[Sincere Counsel to the Seekers of ‎Knowledge, a translation of his 'Laft al-Kabid ila Nasiha al-Walad' | Pg. 38]

Let your scent linger behind 🌸 Be in good companionship and strive to be a source of good to others too ☝️🌿

وَٱفۡعَلُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ۩

[Al-Hajj 22:77]

كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً

Verily, the parable of good company and a bad company is only that of a seller of musk and a blacksmith. The seller of musk will give you some perfume, you will buy some, or you will notice a good smell. As for the blacksmith, he will burn your clothes or you will notice a bad smell.

—S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Bukha‌ri‌ 1995

... وَكَلۡبُهُم بَٰسِطࣱ ذِرَاعَيۡهِ بِٱلۡوَصِيدِۚ

... and their dog stretching forth his two forelegs at the entrance [of the Cave or in the space near to the entrance of the Cave (as a guard at the gate)].

Shaykh al-Shanqeeti رحمه الله تعالى said:

Note that Allah mentions this dog in His Book, and says that he was stretching forth his two forelegs at the entrance to the Cave [al-Kahf 18:18], in the context of referring to their high status. This indicates the great benefit to be gained by keeping company with righteous people. Ibn Katheer رحمه الله تعالى said in his commentary on this aayah (quoting Ibn Jurayj رحمه الله تعالى) :

“Their dog was included in their blessing, so he slept as they slept in that situation. This is the benefit of keeping company with righteous people, so this dog was mentioned and was given status too.”

This meaning is also indicated by the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, in which he said to the one who said that he loved Allah and His Messenger, “You will be with those whom you love.” (Agreed upon, from the hadith of Anas رضي الله عنه).


—Adwaa’ al-Bayaan, 4/47-48

__________

Imagine being the reason to be reunited with your beloved in Firdaws. Imagine being the means by which someone you cherish draws nearer to our Rabb.

How beautiful would it be, how beloved to Allah would you be then?

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّبَعَتۡهُمۡ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلۡحَقۡنَا بِهِمۡ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ وَمَآ أَلَتۡنَٰهُم مِّنۡ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَيۡءࣲۚ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيِٕۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينࣱ


And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith: to them shall We join their offspring, and We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in anything. Every person is a pledge for that which he has earned.

Tafsir ibn kathir:

In this Ayah, Allah the Exalted affirms His favor, generosity, graciousness, compassion and beneficence towards His creation. When the offspring of the righteous believers imitate their parents regarding faith, Allah will elevate the latter to the ranks of the former, even though the latter did not perform deeds as goodly as their parents. Allah will comfort the eyes of the parents by seeing their offspring elevated to their grades. Surely, Allah will gather them together in the best manner, and He will not decrease the reward or the grades of those higher in rank for joining them together 😭💗

FORWARDED MESSAGE:

I have an aunt who has been suffering from what the family believes to be sihr (black magic) for a very long time. She is almost 35 years old, and her entire family has also been affected by what they believe to be sihr. There is very little bonding among the family members, and they feel that the barakah in their rizq (provision) has been severely diminished.

She has undergone ruqyah in many different places over the past four or five years, but unfortunately, she did not experience any significant benefit.

However, about a month and a half ago, I asked her to listen to the Ruqyah I was sending her.(it was Ruqya of shaikh Musa Jibril hafizahullah) I didn’t tell her the Shaykh’s name or give her any information about his identity, because she doesn’t know the Shaykh. hafidhahullah. Over the past week, she began experiencing very strong reactions after listening to the Shaykh’s ruqyah.

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, during the past two days, she experienced severe vomiting after the ruqyah. She then noticed what appeared to be a lump resembling a ball of dough coming out from her stomach. After the ruqyah session, she fell into a very peaceful and deep sleep. She described feeling an extraordinary sense of relaxation and lightness, as though she had finally been able to rest after many years of hardship.

During that sleep, she had a dream in which she saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ alongside an elderly man with a white beard. Both of them were smiling in the dream. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared extremely pleased and said to her:

“i told you about this very thing a long time ago, but you did not understand.”

After this dream, everyone was extremely happy and relieved. Shortly afterward, she woke up.

This is the incident as it happened.

The strangest part of all is that I had never shown her Shaykh Musa’s identity or photograph. I did not even tell her whose ruqyah she was listening to.

After she described the person she had seen in her dream, I showed her a photograph of Shaykh Musa. She immediately burst into tears and said with certainty:

“He is the exact person I saw.” ‎
