“No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn but that Allaah expiates some of his sins for that.”

[Reported by al-Bukhaari, hadith no. 5641 & 5642 ]

That it is obligatory upon us to learn four matters:
الأُوْلَى: العِلْمُ - The first is knowledge

أَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِ ۚ فَوَيْلٌ لِلْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ

(Muhsin Khan and Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali)

Is he whose breast Allah has opened to Islam, so that he is in light from His Lord (as he who is non-Muslim)? So, woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error!

Our brother Abū Ismaʿīl Muṣṭafá George has compiled a an extremely beneficial article, composing of eleven powerful and effective supplications that will serve to be very practical and useful in equipping the believer with a formidable weapon in their arsenal against all manner or harms against them. We emphatically encourage all the believers to commit to memory these magnificent supplications as a means of fortifying oneself and solidifying one's relationship with their creator.

Excerpt

In light of the recent appearance of hate crimes against Muslims in various countries, we felt the need to remind our Muslim brothers and sisters of the importance of protecting themselves by way of a number of daily supplications, which were taught to us by our beloved Messenger Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam. The purpose of this document is not to list all the supplications which a Muslim should regularly mention throughout the day, rather, it is a reminder that our beloved Messenger ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa sallamhas given his followers a means by which they can protect themselves from all forms of harm. Hence, it is critical that our brothers and sisters memorize these supplications, and teach them to their families in order to:

Remind them of tawḥīd and its importance in the life of the Muslim;

Strengthen their relationship with their Lord and allow them to gain greater consciousness of Him;

Promote adherence to the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muḥammad ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam and increase their knowledge of His teachings;

Provide them with the greatest form of protection possible, which is the fortification provided by the Lord of the world!

Imaam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdil-Wahhaab (rahimahullaah) said:

And the Proof is He the Most High’s saying:

وَالْعَصْرِ
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ

By Time. Mankind is certainly in loss. Except for those who have eemaan (those who truly believe) and perform righteous deeds, and enjoin one another with the truth and enjoin one another with patience. [103:1-3]

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: لَوْ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ حُجَّةً عَلَى خَلْقِهِ إِلاَّ هَذِهِ السُّوْرَةَ لَكَفَتْهُمْ

Ash-Shaafi‘ee rahimahullaah said: “If Allaah had not sent down any proof upon his creation except this soorah, then that would have sufficed for them.”

https://abdurrahman.org/2018/04/06/by-time-mankind-is-certainly-in-loss/

Time is very cheap with many people, time seems prolonged for them, they become weary and bored, and they say, “We want to kill some time”

Imaam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdil-Wahhaab (rahimahullaah) said:

:وَقَالَ البُخَارِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: بَابٌ: العِلْمُ قَبْلَ القَوْلِ وَالعَمَلِ. وَالدَّلِيلُ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى
And al-Bukhaaree rahimahullaahuta‘aalaa said: “Chapter: Knowledge comes before speech and action; and the proof is:

فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
Then know that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and seek forgiveness for your sin and for the believers. [47:19]

So He began with knowledge”, before speech and action
