An email we received and were requested to share with our beloved brothers and sisters as we hope it'll lead to more of you attending and benefiting yourselves and your families on the path to Paradise.

If this was mentioned about just the intro, inshaallaah they'll benefit even greater once the teacher gets deep into the book. May Allaah make us sincere and successful.

Zayd Ibn Arqam, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet ﷺ used to say:

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا

O Allaah, grant my soul a sense of piety and purify it. You are the Best to purify it. You are its Guardian and Protector.

Saheeh Muslim, No. 2722

(Part of a longer supplication which you can find in the reference mentioned inshaallaah).

[4475 تاريخ دمشق]

Ibn 'Asaakir reported: Ibraheem bin Adham, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “If the kings and their sons knew what we experience of spiritual pleasure and happiness, they would fight us for it with their swords.”

*🔴A Point of Benefit With Regards to Afflictions🔴*

*📪Question:*

Why does Allaah burden the believers who do many acts of worship with sicknesses and afflictions, while the sinners enjoy all the good things of life?

*📬Shaykh Uthaimeen's Response (May Allaah have mercy on him):*

All praise belong to Allaah. This question comes in two angles: The first is an (angle of) objection and the second is (an angle of) seeking guidance. As for its occurence on the angle of objection then this is evidence of the ignorance of the questioner because the wisdom of Allaah The Exalted is greater than what our minds can comprehend. Allaah The Almighty says:

*⭕﴿وَيَسْـَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّى وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن الْعِلْمِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً ﴾*

*⭕(85. And they ask you (O Muhammad) concerning the Ruh (the spirit). Say: "The Ruh (the spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little.'') [Al-Israa]*

So this spirit is something that is within us, and it is a component of our life, yet we have no knowledge of it. And certainly the philisophers, as well as the intellectuals are unable to pinpoint and identify its nature. So if it is the case that we have no knowledge of the spirit, the closest of creation to us, except for that which has been described in the Quran and Sunnah, then what about other matters beyond that? Therefore Allaah The Almighty is The Wisest, The Greatest, The Loftiest, and The Most Powerful; so upon us is to completely submit to His universal and prededestined decree because we are incapable of understanding the utmost goals of His wisdom (May He be exalted). So the response to this question from this angle is that we say: Allaah knows best, He's The Most Wise,The Most Powerful, and The Most Great.

As for the second angle, and it is: asking in order to seek guidance, then we say to this questioner: The believer is subjected to trials, and Allaah's testing him with that which annoys him has two great benefits:

*1⃣The First Benefit:*

Testing this man in his Faith. Is he truthful in his faith or one who waivers; therefore the true believer in his faith is patient with the predecree of Allaah, and he seeks the reward from Him, and when he does this, the matter becomes easy for him.

It was narrated that one of the female worshippers of Allaah suffered a cut or an injury to her finger, but she did not complain about the pain nor did she show any signs of annoyance. So she was asked about that, and she said: *"Indeed the sweetness of its reward has caused me to forget the bitterness of bearing it, and the believer expects his reward from Allaah The Most High and he completely submits to Him."* This is one benefit.


*2⃣As for the second benefit:* then Allaah The Exalted has highly praised those who are patient, and He has informed that He is with them and that He will pay them their full rewards without any measure. And patience has a high status; none reaches it except the one who was tested with matters which he has to have patience over. So if he is patient he will obtain this high position which comes with a lot of reward. So Allaah's test for the believers with that which annoys them (occurs) in order for them to reach the rank of those who are patient, and for this reason the Messenger of Allaah (may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)- and he's the best of the people in Eman and the most fearing of Allaah from amongst them- he used to bear the pain of two men[1] and the agony of death was intensified for him- he went through all of that so that he can attain the full  darajah (rank) of patience; because he (may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the most patient of those who are patient. And from this it it becomes clear to you the wisdom of Allaah The Most High in testing the believers with the likes of these afflictions.

As for Him giving the sinners, the immoral, the lewd, and the disbelievers good health and abundance in provision, then this is istidraaj [2] from Hi

m, The Exalted. And it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: *"This world is a prison for the believer and a Paradise for the kaafir."* So they are given these good things in order that their good would be hastened for them in their worldly life, and on the day of judgement they will get what they deserve of punishment. Allaah says:

*( ويوم يُعرض الذين *كفروا على النار أذهبتم طيباتكم* *في حياتكم الدنيا واستمتعتم بها* *فاليوم تجزون عذاب الهون بما *كنتم تستكبرون في الأرض* *بغير الحق وبما كنتم تفسقون*

*⭕(“On the Day when those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allaah Islamic Monotheism) will be exposed to the Fire (it will be said): “You received your good things in the life of the world, and you took your pleasure therein. Now this Day you shall be recompensed with a torment of humiliation, because you were arrogant in the land without a right, and because you used to rebel against Allaah’s Command (disobey Allaah)”*

*[al-Ahqaaf 46:20]*

In short, this dunya is for the kuffaar. They are gradually being led on by it, and when they move on from this worldly life in which they led a life of comfort and ease, to the hereafter, they will find punishment, and Allah's refuge is sought, for certainly the punishment will be much harder on them because they will suffer greatly and at the same time they will have lost the delights and luxuries of this world which they loved so much.

*A third benefit* which we can add to the previous two benefits with regards to what the believer will get from harm and different sicknesses is that the believer will move on to an abode which is better than this world; because he will move from an afffair which was harmful to him and caused him pain to an affair which brings him happiness and pleasure. So his happiness with regards to that which is presented before him of luxury and comfort is doubled because he obtained luxury and comfort and he escaped what occured of pain and afflictions.

*Footnotes:*

[1] Abdullaah narrated:

I visited Allaah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) while he was suffering from a high fever. I said: "O Allaah's Messenger! You have a high fever." He said, "Yes. I have as much fever as two men of you." I said, "Is it because you will have a double reward?" He said, "Yes it is so. No Muslim is afflicted with any harm, even if it were the prick of a thorn, but Allaah expiates his sins because of that, as a tree sheds its leaves." *📚[Bukhari, 5648]*

[2] Al-Istidraaj (الاستدراج) is when Allaah gradually leads a disobedient person to his ruin by giving him what he wants of the wordly pleasures. The Messenger of Allaah (May the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

((إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اللَّهَ يُعْطِي الْعَبْدَ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى مَعَاصِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ اسْتِدْرَاجٌ )) ، ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : *{ فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْلِسُون}.
*📚[رواه أحمد في المسند، وصححه الألباني في السلسلة الصحيحة .]*

"If you see Allaah giving the slave whatever he desires from the worldly (pleasures), even though he's diobedient to Him, then this is only istidraaj (leading him to his ruin little by little). Then The Messenger of Allaah (May the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited the following verse:

⭕{ فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْلِسُونَ} .

“So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened to 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 to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows.”

*[al-An‘aam 6:44]. *

*📖Narrated by Imam Ahmad (17311); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh (no. 5201)*


✨"﴿وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَى تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾"✨
﴾And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.﴿

AND REMIND, FOR INDEED THE REMINDER BENEFITS THE BELIEVERS!

The Prophet ﷺ said:

((من يرد الله به خيرا يفقه في الدين))

“If Allāh wants good for a person He grants him/her understanding of the Deen.”
(Bukhāri)

And the greatest way to gain understanding of the Deen is by exerting effort to study & learn the Deen - just as the Prophet ﷺ said:

((إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ بِالتَّعَلُّمِ))

“Knowledge is merely through learning.”

[أخرجه الخطيب البغدادي في تاريخه(9 /127) برقم: (4744) بسنده عن أبي هريرة مرفوعا إلى النبي ﷺ وفي سنده ضعف، والطبراني في الكبير (19 /395)، بلفظ آخر. والحديث حسنه الألباني في الصحيحة (1 /670-672)برقم: (342)، وفي صحيح الجامع (2328).]

And the Arabic language is one of the most important aids in understanding the Deen!

Take this simple example:

Ibn Abbās raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu (the most versed Sahabi in the Qur'ān exegesis) said:
((ما كنتُ أدري ما معنى: ﴿ فَاطِرِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ﴾ [الأنعام: 14] حتى سمعتُ امرأةً من العربِ تقول: أنا فطرتُه؛ أي: ابتدأته"

I didn't understand the meaning of (Allāh's saying):
﴿ فَاطِرِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ﴾ [الأنعام: 14]
until I heard a woman from the (original) ‘Arabs saying: “Ana faṭartuhu” i.e. I originated it.

[background: there was an ownership dispute regarding a well. The disputing parties raised their case to ibn Abbās. This is when one of the claimants, the aforementioned lady, raised the above argument (“Ana faṭartuhu” i.e. I originated it)]

[الإحكام في أصول القرآن لابن حزم (1/15)]

So if this is Ibn Abbās raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu saying this, what about me & you?

Go and learn arabic from the very beginning over on this channel inshaallaah. Trustworthy brother upon the Sunnah allaahumma baarik.
