How can I advise when I fall short?

Al-Hafidh Ibn Rajab, may Allah have mercy upon him said:

“If only the perfect, free from sin people gave advice, nobody would have ever advised anyone after the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ, because there is no perfection for anyone after him.”

CORONAVIRUS

Protect Yourself

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said

"مَنْ رَأَى مُبْتَلًى، فَقَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا؛ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ ذَلِكَ الْبَلَاءُ".

"Whoever sees an afflicted person then says: "All praise is due to Allaah who saved me from that which He has afflicted you with, and blessed me greatly over many of those whom He has created" he shall not be struck by that affliction."

◾Benefits regarding the hadeeth of Tahneek from the chapter of Tahneek in the Adabul Mufrad by Imam Bukhari◾️

*Tahneek of a Baby*📚


حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ‏:‏ ذَهَبْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ وُلِدَ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي عَبَاءَةٍ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ مَعَكَ تَمَرَاتٌ‏؟‏ قُلْتُ‏:‏ نَعَمْ، فَنَاوَلْتُهُ تَمَرَاتٍ فَلاَكَهُنَّ، ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَا الصَّبِيِّ، وَأَوْجَرَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ، فَتَلَمَّظَ الصَّبِيُّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ حُبَّ الأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ، وَسَمَّاهُ‏:‏ عَبْدَ اللهِ‏.‏


Anas bin Maalik رضي الله عنه said, "On the day he was born, I took 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talha to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. I found him wearing a woollen robe while he was marking one of his camels with tar. The Prophet said, 'Do you have any dates with you?' 'Yes,' I replied. I gave him some dates. He chewed the dates and opened the child's mouth and put some chewed dates into the child's mouth. The child licked his lips. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The Ansar love dates,' and gave him the name 'Abdullah."

Sahih (Al-Albani)

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1254


Abu Talha's newborn son Abdullah would go on to have 10 children whom all go onto become huffadh al- Qur'an (memorizers of the Qur'an) this is considered to be from the blessings of dua the prophet ﷺ made for the parents of Abdullah.

AT-Tahneek is rubbing a bit of honey or the sweetness of dates. And 'Hanak' is the upper & inner part of the mouth, so the parent places their clean finger and rubs it gently in the upper inner part of baby's the mouth.

Some people (in today's times) restrict this action to be done specifically by the Imams of masaajid but this never occurred amongst the companions that they would carry their new born to Abu Bakr or Umar or Uthman or Ali
رضي الله عنهم but rather the companions
used to bring their newborn to the prophet ﷺ to seek Allah's blessing.

As for tahneek then the parent should do this themselves and not go and take their baby to so and so to do tahneek. Tahneek is legislated Whether it's done by the father or the mother.

Be mindful as you do tahneek and dont give the baby too much since it can cause the child undesired effects for them such as diarrhoea, and fevers and you will be the cause of this.

▪️Is it obligatory for a person to answer his fellow Muslim's invitation?▪️

Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Hizām -may Allāh preserve him- was asked the following question:

📩 Question:

The questioner says: Is it obligatory for a person to respond to an 'Aqīqah invitation?

📝 Answer:

It is recommended for a person to respond to a fellow Muslim's invitation; whatever the occasion/meal. But if a person is invited to a walīmah (marriage banquet), then it becomes obligatory for him to attend.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
((وإذا دعاك فأجبه))
"And if he invites you, answer his invitation."

This (answering the invitation) is from the rights of a Muslim towards his fellow Muslim.

Likewise, the Prophet ﷺ said:
((إذا دعاك أخوك فأجبه))
"If your brother invites you, answer his invitation."

And he ﷺ said:
((من دعي إلى طعام فليأته))
"Whoever is invited to a meal, then let him attend."

As for the obligation of attending the walīmah, then this is proven by the ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah:
((شر الطعام طعام الوليمة، يمنعها من يأتيها ويدعى إليها من يأباها، ومن لم يجب فقد عصى أبا القاسم))
"The worst food is the food of the marriage banquet (walīmah) from which those who come (i.e. the poor) are turned away, and to which those who refuse (i.e. the rich) are invited. Whoever rejects the invitation has disobeyed Abul Qāsim (i.e. The Prophet ﷺ)".
[Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim]

So whoever is invited to a walīmah must attend, unless the host excuses him, or he has a legitimate reason not to attend. As for the 'Aqīqah and any other banquet, then it is recommended for a person to attend - not obligatory; and this is proven by the ḥadīth of 'Āishah, may Allāh be pleased with her, reported by Muslim; once, a man invited the Prophet ﷺ to a meal, so he asked, "what about this one (i.e. is 'Āishah invited as well)?" The man replied, "No" (as he only wanted to invite the Prophet ﷺ). So upon that the Prophet ﷺ rejected his invitation. The man extended the invitation for a second, and a third time. On the third count, the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "how about this one?". This time round, the man said, "yes", so the Prophet ﷺ accepted his invitation.

Questioner: Is it obligatory for women to attend the walīmah if they are invited?

Sheikh: Women do not have to attend, because they are to remain in their homes and not leave except with their husband's permission.

Questioner: Is it wājib for a person to attend the banquet prepared by the bride's side?

Sheikh: The banquet that is obligatory for a person to attend is the one prepared by the groom. The walīmah is the duty of the groom. As for the banquet prepared by the bride's side, then one should also answer this invitation, but it appears that the obligation of attending applies only in the case of (the banquet prepared by) the groom, and Allāh knows best; because according to the Sharī'ah, the walīmah refers to the meal prepared by the groom. As for the banquet that is prepared by the bride's side, then this is merely a celebratory banquet - even if it is referred to as a walīmah (linguistically), it does not take the same (legal) ruling, and Allāh knows best.

Shaykh Yaḥya bin ʿAlī al-Ḥajūrī حفظه الله clarifies regarding the dangerous affair of Yūsuf al-Qarḍāwī

1. The speech of al-Qarḍāwī that the Jews and the Christians are brothers unto us in the religion as they are from the people of the heavenly religions!

2. Al-Qarḍāwī states that if Allāh ﷻ were to descend from the heavens he would not achieve that which the President of Israel would achieve (Allāh's refuge is sought!)

3. Al-Qarḍāwī says that we do not fight the Jews for them being Kuffar (disbelievers)

4. Al-Qarḍāwī prays for (Allāh’s) mercy for the Pope of Vatican on his death!

5. Al-Qarḍāwī calls to unity of religions

6. Al-Qarḍāwī gives a ruling for (the Muslim women in) France to remove the Hijāb

May Allāh ﷻ safeguard the Muslims from the fitnah of this individual and what he represents.

One Way To Possibly Stop The Coronavirus

Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy upon him, mentions that in the year 478 AH (1085 CE) a disease and plague accompanied by severe fever broke out in Iraq, Syria and Hijaz.

It caused both domestic and wild animals to die, leaving the people with no meat or milk. It was accompanied by black winds and thunderbolts that brought down entire trees. The people thought that Judgement Day had arrived!

In order to combat this epidemic, the Abbasid Caliph Al-Muqtadee Bi-Amrillaah (d. 487 AH/1094 CE) commanded that everyone strive to command the good and forbid the evil.

Every musical instrument was crushed and destroyed, bottles of alcohol were smashed and spilled, and the wicked were exiled from the land. Soon thereafter the disease disappeared.

[Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah, 13/216]

بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم

From the noble traits of a believer is that he reflects over the creation of Allah, as Allah said:
(ٱلَّذِینَ یَذۡكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِیَـٰمࣰا وَقُعُودࣰا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمۡ وَیَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِی خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقۡتَ هَـٰذَا بَـٰطِلࣰا سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ)
"Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire."
[Surat Aal-E-Imran 191]

As-Sa'dee (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his commentary on this ayah:
دل هذا على أن التفكر عبادة من صفات أولياء الله العارفين
This proves that "reflection" is itself an act of worship - which is a trait of the righteous...

With that said...

There are so many lessons that can be drawn from this current virus:

Here are some of them:

_________
1. The Prophet ﷺ advised:
أكثروا ذكر هادم اللذات
"Remember frequently the destroyer of pleasures (i.e death)"

*Shukran for the reminder yaa corona!*

- Whether we like it or not, everyone shall taste death.
Allah said:
(كُلُّ نَفۡسࣲ ذَاۤىِٕقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ}
"Every soul will taste death."
[Surat Aal-E-Imran 185]

(كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجۡهَهُۥۚ)
"Everything is bound to perish except He Himself (Allah)."
[Surat Al-Qasas 88]

- Death is a fact of life; an inevitable certainty. No matter how rich, strong, clever, beautiful, or young a person is - they will not, & cannot escape death.
Allah said:
(أَیۡنَمَا تَكُونُوا۟ یُدۡرِككُّمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ وَلَوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِی بُرُوجࣲ مُّشَیَّدَةࣲۗ)
"Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.”
[Surat An-Nisa' 78]
-----------------------------

2. "The average lifespan of this Ummah is between 60 - 70; *only a few live over that*." - as the Prophet ﷺ said.

This virus is a stark reminder of this fact - is it not???

- One news outlet writes:
"Action to isolate the UK's *over-70s* for an extended period to shield them from coronavirus is planned in the coming weeks, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said...
*All deaths so far have been of people over 60 or with underlying conditions.*

- mind you, that's no reason for you under 60's to get excited!
In fact, I came home yesterday to find my road cordoned off by police; a teen met his fate - 3 shots to the head!
-------------------------------

3. The cause and spread of this virus is due to our sins.

Here's why:

Firstly: Allah said:
(وَمَاۤ أَصَـٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِیبَةࣲ فَبِمَا
كَسَبَتۡ أَیۡدِیكُمۡ وَیَعۡفُوا۟ عَن كَثِیرࣲ)
"Whatever affliction befalls you is because of what your own hands have committed. And He pardons much."
[Surat Ash-Shura 30]

Secondly: it's said that the root cause of this desease is people (well...namely Chinese people) eating every moving creature, and to be precise - drinking *bat soup*. However, Allah clearly instructed:
(یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ حَلَـٰلࣰا طَیِّبࣰا)
"O mankind! Eat from what is lawful and good."
[Surat Al-Baqarah 168]

Thirdly: when a plague strikes a land, the Prophet ﷺ directed the people of that land to remain put. But sadly, as soon as this virus broke out, many countries withdrew their official dignitaries...etc.

Fourthly: Also, Kenya reported it's first case a few days ago; a woman returning back from overseas.

Whatever happened to:
"A woman must not travel except with a mahram"?
---------------------------

4. Reflect over the might and power of Allah! Look at how He has humbled the so called 'super powers' and brought them to their knees.
سبحان الله العظيم

- And the biggest super power to be effected by the wrath of this virus is...yes, you guessed it -
C H I N A.

*The same country that imprisons 1million innocent Muslims has imprisoned itself.*

Who knows, maybe the du'a of one of those oppressed Muslims was answered by All

ah.
-------------------------------

5. Let us now draw some further comparisons.

A- Allah tells us that when the hour strikes:
(یَوۡمَ تَرَوۡنَهَا تَذۡهَلُ كُلُّ مُرۡضِعَةٍ عَمَّاۤ أَرۡضَعَتۡ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمۡلٍ حَمۡلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِیدࣱ)
"...every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allah."
[Surat Al-Hajj 2]

- isn't the sheer panic and havoc witnessed in the supermarkets a striking resemblance of this???

B- Allah said regarding the disbelievers:
(فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا۟ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِینَ لَهُ ٱلدِّینَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡبَرِّ إِذَا هُمۡ یُشۡرِكُونَ)
"If they happen to be aboard a ship ˹caught in a storm˺, they cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, they associate ˹others with Him once again˺."
[Surat Al-Ankabut 65]

- recently Donald trump tweeted something along the lines of, "We should turn to God in prayer...".

C- we are being told to wash our hands to stop the spread of this virus, like we (as Muslims) don't already wash our hands!

- we wash our hands before praying several times a day (wudhu)
- we wash/wipe our hands after eating
- we wash our hands after intercourse & prior to eating
الحمد لله

D - our niqabi sisters are the most well protected members of the public (by their own admission). Not only because they wear a face mask (niqab) and a set of gloves when outdoors, but because they do a lot of self isolating - as Allah instructed them to:
(وَقَرۡنَ فِی بُیُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجۡنَ تَبَرُّجَ ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِیَّةِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ
"And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance."
[Surat Al-Ahzab 33]

E - not only has it caused panic, this virus has grounded flights, stopped businesses operating, and brought the stock markets to a standstill. It was predicted that by 2020 we'd be driving flying cars, instead, we're being taught how to wash our hands.
So when the evidences indicate that technology is going to crush and that the final battle (between the kuffar and the Muslims) will be with swords and archery...We shouldn't be surprised!

...these are just some of lessons to be learnt, perhaps you can think of more
