Be Like This When Making Du'aa

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"When Allaah wants good for a slave, He inspires him to request of Him and ask for His help - and He makes [that] asking of help from Him and requesting of Him a means [of getting] the good that He has ordained for him, as 'Umar ibnul-Khattaab, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: 'I don't harbor worries about [my requests] being accepted and granted [by Allaah]; the only concern I have is about making the request [in the first place], for whenever I'm inspired to request [of Himl, indeed, [His] acceptance [of it] and granting [it] comes along with it.'"

Allaah Shall Give His Attention To His Servant In Proportion To...

Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"The secret of salaah lies in devotion to Allaah. The secret and the essence of salaah is to devote oneself to Allaah while praying - just as the slave should not turn his face away from the direction of the qiblah, he should also disallow his heart from giving attention to anything except his Lord. Therefore, the servant should let the Ka'bah - the House of Allaah - be the direction of his body and face, and let Allaah be the direction of his heart and soul. Allaah shall give His attention to His servant in proportion to the level of his devotion and focus in salaah. Thus, if he turns away from Allaah (by becoming unmindful), He too shall turn away from him - truly, as you judge, shall you yourself be judged."

The Effect Of Sins

Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"Sins not only transgress; they also bring about the consequence of stripping the heart of its modesty, a vital element for the heart's well-being and the source of all that is good."

The story of our brother, Ādam al-Bolandī by Shaykh Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Zuʿkurī حفظه الله:

"الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله.
Perhaps those from amongst you remember our brother, Ādam al-Bolandī . I ask Allāh to grant us and him thabāt and tawfīq. He was determined to stay with us for a period of time. However, the Kuffār have seized his kids and handed over his son, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān to two wicked homosexuals, and they handed over his daughter, Maryam, to two evil lesbians. Since then, up until now, he has not been able to reach them, even for a visit. Through this, you realise the harm of staying between the Kuffār.

A Muslim boy is handed to those who engage in indecency, so by accompanying them, he may turn towards what they do (of homosexuality), or even worse, ember their religion (and abandon Islam), as he is unable to meet his father nor his mother, except if Allāh سبحانه وتعالى wills (otherwise).

And they gave the Muslim girl to two evil, wicked, Kāfir homosexual women. Perhaps she ends up on their path, or worse than that, she embraces their religion. I ask Allāh for safety.

So, O Muslims! Those who have been trialled with residing among the Kuffār, if you are able to leave, then leave. The Kāfir is not to ever be trusted. Even if he claims to uphold human rights, he is a liar! Even if he showcases that he is merciful, he is a liar! They are the most rough, harsh, and evil people in terms of their hearts, such that the Prophet ﷺ said:
((لاَ تُنْزَعُ الرَّحْمَةُ إِلاَّ مِنْ شَقِيٍّ))
“Mercy is taken away only from him who is wretched.” [Abū Dāwūd, 4942]

And the Kāfir is wretched in the first place. The Kāfir is wretched, [as Allah said]

{لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى}
{None shall enter it save the most wretched.} [Sūrah al-Layl: 15]

{الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ * ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ}
{who will burn in the greatest fire,} {where they will not ˹be able to˺ live or die.} [Sūrah al-Aʿlā: 12-13]

{وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى}
And Al-Muttaqqūn will be far removed from it (Hell).} [Sūrah al-Layl: 17]

Therefore, they are wretched, and staying amongst them may lead to wretchedness in terms of the Dunyā or Ākhirah. We ask Allāh for salāmah and ʿāfiyyah.

He (al-akh Ādam), was able to contact the government to seek their permission to visit his children. However, they rejected his request and said that they (the kids) were given to specific individuals, and we have no right to enter upon them. A tragedy! By Allāh, a tragedy! I was saddened by him today. How is he? How is their mother? When they take your son before you and hand him over to the worst of the creation,and you unable to meet him, unable to see him, you don't know what state he is in. لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله.

I ask Allāh to give our brother Ādam comfort, I ask Allāh to comfort him and keep him steadfast upon the religion of Allāh, and also to keep his wife steadfast upon the religion of Allāh, and save us and all the Muslims from trials, that which is visible and that which is hidden.

And the man is miskīn, a new Muslim, even before he got here he was uncircumcised. He was new to Islām, so we encouraged him to get circumcised, so he went to the hospital and got circumcised. However, they took his children without prior warning. If they were to tell him to return, he would've returned .
He wasn't aware until they had taken them both (the children) from amongst the people and they took them infront of their mother, claiming that the kids had no one to take care of them and be responsible over them. Therefore, they gave them to the most evil of those in charge if they (the homosexuals) have in charge. They don't even have in charge (and the ability to cultivate and take responsibility). By Allāh, for a man to sit with a pig is easier than for him to sit with those deaf and dumb who do not contemplate.”

The Enjoyment Of The Salaf Compared To The Enjoyment Of Our Time

Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"The early generations found enjoyment in matters pertaining to Allaah, Exalted be He, such as praying, reciting the Quraan, contemplating on the Words of Allaah, and listening to them, attending the assemblies of scholars and the gatherings of knowledge, fighting in battles for the sake of Allaah, enjoining the good and forbidding wrongdoing, loving and despising people for the sake of Allaah, etc. However, the preferences of the later generations, except those whom Allaah saved, became distorted and they sought enjoyment in musical instruments, songs, dancing, noise, and clamour, while desisting from doing deeds that Allaah loves. Indeed, the experience and enjoyment attained from melodies is nothing like the experience and enjoyment attained from the Quraan."

Ask Allaah For These Five Things Between The Two Prostrations

Narrated 'Abdullaah Ibn 'Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with them:

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say between the two prostrations:

"اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي."‏

"O Allaah, forgive me, have mercy upon me, grant me well-being, guide me, and provide for me."

[Sunan Abee Daawud, Hadeeth No. 850. Graded 'Hasan' By Ask-Shaykh Al-Albaanee In 'Saheeh Sunan Abee Daawud']

Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"It is therefore prescribed fot the 'abd (slave of Allaah) to sit down in the presence of Allaah with humility, admitting his mistakes and repenting from sins, hoping for His Mercy and asking for His Forgiveness, Guidance, Provision and Protection. These five things that the 'abd beseeches His Lord for include the good of this life as well as the good of the Hereafter. This is because the 'abd (of Allaah) is in dire need of protecting himself against all harm, as well as attaining what benefits him in this life and the Hereafter. His share of Allaah's provision covers the provision intended for his body, heart and soul, and Allaah is the best Provider. Protection and safety keep away the harm, guidance brings forth the benefits of the Hereafter, forgiveness protects him from harm both in this life and the Hereafter, Mercy covers all the aforementioned, and guidance covers its details."
