believe in Him, obey His Messengers, hold fast to His Shar‘iah (Islamic Law), and make Tawbah to Him from their sins.

But for those who shun His Obedience, are too proud to fulfill the Rights owed to Him, and persist in their Kufr and disobedience, Allah (may He be Praised) threatens them with different punishments in this life and the Hereafter, and shall expedite the share of punishment which He has allotted for them (in this world. ed.), as His wisdom dictates, for them to be an example and warning to others. Allah (may He be Praised) says:

“So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened for them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them (in punishment), and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows. So the root of the people who did wrong was cut off. And all the praises and thanks are to Allâh, the Lord of the ‘Alamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).”

O Muslims! Call yourselves to account for your deeds, make Tawbah to your Lord, and seek His Forgiveness. Hasten to obedience and be on your guard against disobedience, and cooperate in righteousness and piety. Do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good. Be just; indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. Make provision of righteous acts before death befalls you. Show mercy to the weak, help the poor, increase your Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah), ask for His Forgiveness, enjoin that which is good and forbid that which is evil that you may receive mercy. Take admonition from what happened to the preceding nations due to their sins and misdeeds. Indeed, Allah accepts the Tawbah of the penitent, shows mercy to the doers of good, and grants a blessed end to the pious.

Allah (may He be Praised) says: So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for Al-­Muttaqûn (the pious) And He (Exalted be He) says: Truly, Allâh is with those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him), and those who are Muhsinûn (good­doers). (See the footenote of V.9:120).

We ask Allah with His Most Beautiful Names and Most High Attributes to show mercy to the Muslims, grant them understanding of the Din (religion), give them victory over His and their enemies among the Kafirs and hypocrites, afflicting them with His Wrath that never will be turned back from the wrongdoers. He is the Guardian and the One Who is Capable of doing so.

May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and his family and Companions, and those who follow them in righteousness until the Day of Resurrection.

As­salamu ‘alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah’s Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)

To clarify for the sisters, after entering the Masjid you go straight past the stairs. Go to the end of the corridor and enter the room on the left.

Umm Ḥassān al-Kūfīyyah
أم حسان الكوفية

Sufyān (al-Thawrī), Ibn al-Mubārak and others narrated from her (ie: were her students).
كان سفيان وابن المبارك وغيرهما يزورونها،

ʿAbd Allah b. al-Mubārak mentioned: Sufyān mentioned a woman of Kūfa who was called Umm Ḥassān, a woman of great ijtihād and worship.
عبد الله بن المبارك قال: ذكر سفيان الثوري امرأة بالكوفة يقال لها أم حسان ذات اجتهاد وعبادة.

So (we went to visit her) and entered her home, and we saw that there was nothing in it except a small worn-out mat.
فدخلنا بيتها فلم نر فيه شيئاً غير قطعة حصير خلق

al-Thawrī said to her: “If you write a note to some of your relatives, they could help change your poor condition.”
فقال لها الثوري: لو كتبت رقعة إلى بعض بني أعمامك لغيروا من سوء حالك.

She replied: “Sufyān, in my eyes you were better (than this) and in my heart you were greater before this moment. I do not ask for things of this world from the One who controls it, owns it and rules over it, so how is it that I would ask those that have no control over it nor rule in it? Sufyān, I swear by Allah, I dislike that a time comes upon me in which I am too busy for Allah, by being occupied with other than Him.”
فقالت: يا سفيان قد كنت في عيني أعظم وفي قلبي أكبر مذ ساعتك هذه، إني ما أسأل الدنيا من يقدر عليها ويملكها ويحكم فيها؛ فكيف أسأل من لا يقدر عليها ولا يقضي ولا يحكم فيها؟ يا سفيان والله ما أحب أن يأتي علي وقت وأنا متشاغلة فيه عن الله تعالى بغير الله.

Sufyān wept at these words.
فأبكت سفيان

Ibn al-Jāwzī, Ṣifah al-Ṣafwah 2/110 #465
ابن الجوزي، صفة الصفوة ٢/١١٠ #٤٦٥

Here is what Shaykh Muqbil رحمه الله said about her: “And she is a woman aspiring to spend her time diligently in obtaining the knowledge, spending a great deal of her time in the masjid, reviewing and benefiting.”

A nice benefit our brother mentioned in this lesson was that the time that the Du'aa is answered on Jumu'ah is not the whole of the last hour before maghrib, it's a specific time within that hour. And Allaah knows best.

2 days left inshaallaah

AND REMIND, FOR INDEED THE REMINDER BENEFITS THE BELIEVERS

Today is the 23rd of Shawwāl, which means only 6/7 days remain for this month to end. That means if you haven't fasted your 6 days of Shawwāl, tomorrow might be your last chance to start & complete them‼️

Remember, fasting these 6 days - on top of Ramaḍhān - is equivalent to fasting an entire year.

أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فِي صَلاَتِي‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا، وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وَارْحَمْنِي، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Abuu Bakr As-Siddeeq, may Allaah be pleased with him, said to the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam: "teach me a supplication by which I may invoke (Allaah) in my prayer." He (the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Say, Oh Allaah, I have oppressed myself with a great oppression, and there is none who forgives sins except You. So forgive me with forgiveness from You, and have mercy upon me. Verily, You are the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful."

Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree, No. 6326

BE CAREFUL NOT TO LEAVE THE RAT TO DIE OF HUNGER AND THIRST

Shaykh Muhammad bn Saalih Al-Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy upon him) said:

When you want to kill a rat, and killing it is Mustahhab (encouraged), then kill well. Kill it with what will take its life immediately, and do not hurt it. And from hurting it, is what some people do where they put down something adhesive to which it will be glued, then they leave it to die of hunger and thirst. And this is not permissible. When you put this adhesive catcher (in place), it's incumbent on you to repeatedly check and watch out such that when you see anything glued to it, you kill it. But for you to leave this adhesive catcher for 2 or 3 days and the rat is glued to it and dies of thirst or hunger, it is feared that you may enter hellfire for that, for the prophet, peace and blessings be upon him said: A woman entered hell because of a cat which she imprisoned until it died, she neither give it food nor did she free it to eat from the vermin of the earth.

[Sharh Riyaad As-Saalih (4/596)]

Benefit:

What is the difference between وَيْحَك and وَيْلَك? Both are a threat but وَيْحَك is a threat with mercy. That's why Imaam Al-Ilbeeree used this when addressing his son in his famous poetry Taaiyyah.

Being Pleased With Allaah, His Messenger & His Religion

Imaam Ibn-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

May Allaah have mercy upon him

"The Prophet, SalAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:

ذَاقَ طَعْمَ الإيمانِ : مَنْ رَضِيَ بالله ربًّا، وبالإسلام دينًا، وبمحمَّدٍ رَسُولاً

‘The sweetness of eemaan has been tasted by he, whomever is pleased with Allaah as a Lord, Islaam as a religion and Muhammad as a Messenger.’ [Saheeh Muslim]

The Prophet, SalAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:

مَنْ قَالَ حِيْنَ يَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولاً، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا. غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ

‘Whoever says, when he hears the call to prayer, I am pleased with Allaah as a Lord, Muhammad as a Messenger and Islaam as a religion, then his sin will be forgiven.’ [Saheeh Muslim]

The levels of the religion revolve around these two Ahaadeeth and they end with these.

Indeed these two Ahaadeeth include being pleased with the Rubuubiyyah (Lordship) of Allaah, the Glorified, and His Uluuhiyyah (worshipping Him), being pleased with His Messenger and having obedience to him, and being pleased with Allaah’s religion and having submission to it.

Whoever has these four aspects combined, then he truly is a Siddeeq (truthful) person. It is an easy claim and statement to say, but it is from the most difficult matters in reality and in being tested, especially if what occurs opposes the desires of the soul and the intent of that becomes clear that being pleased was stated with just the tongue, so it was upon the tongue and not with ones actions.

Therefore, being pleased with إلهيته (meaning the One who is worshipped) includes: being pleased with loving Him alone, being fearful of Him, having hope in Him, and turning repentantly to Him, and having devotion for Him, and strength of intention and having all love for Him. The person being pleased does everything to please his beloved, and this includes His worship and having sincerity for Allaah.

Being pleased with His Rubuubiyyah (Lordship):

This includes being pleased with what Allaah has planned and disposed for His slave. Being pleased with Allaah’s Rubuubiyyah also includes singling Allaah out alone for having trust and reliance upon Him, and seeking assistance with Him, trusting Him, having reliance upon Him, and that a person is pleased with everything that Allaah does to him.

The first: includes being pleased with what He commands.

The second: includes being pleased with what He destined for him.

There are many people who are pleased with Allaah as a Lord and they do not desire any other Lord except Him, however, they are not pleased with Him with being the only Wali (Guardian) and being the only Helper. But they have loyalty to Awaliyah other than Allaah, thinking that they are bringing you closer to Allaah, and that being loyal to them is like being loyal to those who are close to the king, and this is specific shirk.

Indeed Tawheed is that a person does not take any one other than Allaah as an Awaliyah, and the Qur’aan is full of the description of the polytheists that they took Awaliyah other than Allaah.

This is not the loyalty that one has for Allaah’s Prophets, His Messengers and His believing slaves, since this is from the completion of eemaan to have loyalty to His Prophets, and this is in fact complete loyalty for Allaah.

Therefore, having loyalty for His Awaliyah is one colour and taking a wali other than Allaah is a different colour. Whoever has not understood the distinction and criterion between them, then he must study Tawheed from its foundation, since this issue is a foundation of Tawheed and its base principle.

There are many people who desire to take someone other than Allaah as a judge to whom they can take their judgements to. With whom they could debate, and be pleased with his judgement.

These three levels are the pillars of Tawheed; that none other than Allaah is taken as a Lord, or as a deity and none other than Him has a command.
