Tawheed Is The Sanctuary For The Creation 

Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Him

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

"Nothing repels the extreme worldly hardships as does Tawheed, this is why the supplication for distress and anxiety is with Tawheed.

A distressed person does not make du'aa with the supplication of Prophet Yuunus, peace be upon him, except that Allaah drives away his distress and anxiety with Tawheed.

There is nothing more gruesome for the distressed person except shirk and there is nothing that can rescue you from it except Tawheed. It is the place of refuge for the creation, its shelter, its fortress and its means of (seeking) aid."

[Al-Fawaaid, Pg.66]

The supplication of Yuunus, peace be upon him:

" ألا أخبركم بشيء، إذا نزل برجل منكم كرب أو بلاء من بلا الدنيا دعا به يفرج عنه؟ فقيل له: بلى، فقال: دعاء ذي النون: لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين "

The Prophet, SalAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said (translated meaning):

"Shall I not inform you with a matter, that if a calamity or a trial from the trials of the dunyaa befall a person and then he makes du'aa with this matter he will be free from that calamity? It was said to him: Of course.
He said: The du'aa of Yuunus: There is none worthy of worship except You, free are You from imperfection, Truly, I have been from the wrongdoers.

لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

(Laa ilaaha illa anta, Subhaanaka, innee kuntu minath-thaalimeen).

The Great Trial With Which Allaah Tested His Prophet And Chosen One

Beautiful Reminder From The Story Of Yuusuf, Peace Be Upon Him

Imaam 'Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sa'dee

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Him

"Another noteworthy observation from this story is the great trial with which Allaah tested His Prophet and chosen one, Ya'quub, peace be upon him. Considering that He decreed the seperation between him and Yuusuf for such a long period, which seems most likely to have been thirty years or more.

Some of that was the period that he spent in the house of al-azeez before his imprisonment, which was probably between seven and ten years, give or take. Then he stayed between three and nine years in prison and most are of the opinion that it was seven years.

After his exit (from prison) came the seven years of abundance and fertility. These all add up to about twenty-one years. Then there were the seven years of famine. Yuusuf's brothers came to him repeatedly during that period, and it seems that their reunion was at the end of those seven years. These add up to approximately thirty years; and all this while, Ya'quub's heart was full of grief.

He cried endlessly until his grief made his eyes fade, and he lost his sight, while he waited patiently for Allaah's resolution and looked forward to his reward with Allaah. He promised himself that he would be patient and in fact, he fulfilled that promise and his words:

إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

"I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allaah, and I know from Allaah that which you know not."

[Al-Qur'aan 12:86].

- do not contradict this fact, because complaining to Allaah does not invalidate patience, rather, complaining to other than Allaah does."

Amazing Hadeeth Regarding The Sun And When It Will Rise From The West

It was narrated on the authority of Abuu Tharr that the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) one day said (translated meaning):

"Do you know where the sun goes? They replied: Allaah and His Apostle know best. He (the Prophet) observed: Verily it (the sun) glides till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it falls prostrate and remains there until it is asked: Rise up and go to the place whence you came, and it goes back and continues emerging out from its rising place and then glides till it reaches its place of rest under the Throne and falls prostrate and remains in that state until it is asked:

Rise up and return to the place whence you came, and it returns and emerges out from it rising place and the it glides (in such a normal way) that the people do not discern anything (unusual in it) till it reaches its resting place under the Throne.

Then it would be said to it: Rise up and emerge out from the place of your setting, and it will rise from the place of its setting. The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said. Do you know when it would happen? It would happen at the time when faith will not benefit one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from the faith."

قال الفراء: قيل لحمدون القصار: ما بال كلام السلف أنفع من كلامنا؟!
قال:- لأنهم تكلموا لعزِّ الإسلام، ونجاة النفوس، ورضا الرحمن. ونحن نتكلم لعز النفس، وطلب الدنيا، وقبول الخلق!.

Farra' said: it was said to hamdoon al Qisar: why is it so that the speech of the salaf (pious predecessor) are more beneficial than our speech?

He said: they spoke to honor Islam, safety for the soul and to please Allah, as for us we speak to give honor to our soul, to seek worldly gains and acceptance from the creation.

Allaah Tests His Prophets And Chosen Ones Using Both Difficult And Comfortable Circumstances

Imaam As-Sa'dee

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Him

"A major theme in the story of Yuusuf (peace be upon him) is that Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) tests His Prophets and chosen ones using both difficult and pleasing circumstances, as well as happiness and sorrow, and ease and hardship, so that He can extract worship from them under both circumstances - through gratitude during times of ease, and patience during times of difficulty and tribulation. This is so that they may receive His blessings in full. He tested Ya'quub and Yuusuf (peace be upon them) for this purpose and like them, His other Prophets and chosen ones."

The Virtue Of Taqwaa And Patience

Imaam As-Sa'dee

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Him

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

"Another noteworthy point learnt from this story is the virtue of taqwaa (protecting oneself against Allaah's punishment by obeying Him) and patience, and that every blessing in this life and the hereafter happens as a consequence of these two things, and that the outcome for the people who are characterised by them is the best of outcomes, due to his words (interpretation of the meaning):

They said: "Are you indeed Yuusuf (Joseph)?" He said: "I am Yuusuf (Joseph), and this is my brother (Benjamin). Allaah has indeed been gracious to us. Verily, he who fears Allaah with obedience to Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds), and is patient, then surely, Allaah makes not the reward of the Muhsinun (good-doers) to be lost."

[Al-Qur'aan 12:90].

Additionally, it is considered a proclamation of the blessings of Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) for an individual to speak about his own taqwaa and patience, as long as it is true and (mention of them) is for a good purpose. Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And proclaim the blessings of your Lord."

[Al-Qur'aan 93:11].

The word 'blessings' includes worldly and religious blessings. Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) gathers for the pious both the good of this life and the hereafter, as Allaah indicates in this Verse and the previous one (interpretation of the meaning):

"...We bestow of Our Mercy on whom We please, and We make not to be lost the reward of Al-Muhsinun (the good doers). And verily, the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believe and used to fear Allaah and keep their duty to Him (by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds and by performing all kinds of righteous good deeds)." [Al-Qur'aan 12:56-57].

Furthermore, an individual should remember the sad and difficult times during the times of happiness and ease, so that he may increase in gratitude and appreciation of Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa). This is why Yuusuf (peace be upon him) said:

"He was indeed good to me, when He took me out of the prison, and brought you (all here) out of the bedouin life..." [Al-Qur'aan 12:100]."

Surah Al-Ahzab, Verse 23:
مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا

Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah [i.e. they have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting), and showed not their backs to the disbelievers], of them some have fulfilled their obligations (i.e. have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting, but they have never changed [i.e. they never proved treacherous to their covenant which they concluded with Allah] in the least.

a gift for the husband and wife

Transcription of Abu Rayhaanah’s talk “A gift for the husband and wife”

Question:

If someone is afflicted with the evil eye, how do they cure it?

Answer:

The cure for the evil eye is that the one who is thought to have caused it washes and pours that water on the victim. The way to wash is specified in the following Hadith:

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ عَامِرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ بِسَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ وَهُوَ يَغْتَسِلُ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ وَلاَ جِلْدَ مُخَبَّأَةٍ ‏.‏ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ لُبِطَ بِهِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَدْرِكْ سَهْلاً صَرِيعًا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ مَنْ تَتَّهِمُونَ بِهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا عَامِرَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ عَلاَمَ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ أَخِيهِ مَا يُعْجِبُهُ فَلْيَدْعُ لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأَمَرَ عَامِرًا أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ فَيَغْسِلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ وَرُكْبَتَيْهِ وَدَاخِلَةَ إِزَارِهِ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَصُبَّ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَكْفَأَ الإِنَاءَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ

It was narrated that Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif said:
“ ‘Amir bin Rabi’ah passed by Sahl bin Hunaif when he was having a bath, and said: ‘I have never seen such beautiful skin.’ Straightaway, he (Sahl) fell to the ground. He was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and it was said: ‘Sahl has had a fit.’ He said: ‘Whom do you accuse with regard to him?’ They said: “ ‘Amir bin Rabi’ah.’ They said: ‘Why would anyone of you kill his brother? If he sees something that he likes, then let him pray for blessing for him.’ Then he called for water, and he told ‘Amir to perform ablution, then he washed his face and his arms up to the elbows, his knees and inside his lower garment, then he told him to pour the water over him

[Saheeh Ibn Majah no. 2844]

However, if one cannot do that, he can suffice by just washing his hands, face, and rinsing his mouth into a bowl and pouring it over the afflicted one.

Shaikh Bin Baz rahimahullah was asked:

Question:

[Regarding] the cure for the evil eye, can we suffice with the legislated ruqyah or do we have to wash for the one afflicted with it?

Answer:

“The Legislated ruqyah is a cure and washing is a cure. If it is easy for the one who gave the evil eye to wash, that is the intended washing which is to wash the face, rinse the mouth, wash the inside of the izar, and the toes of the feet. This benefits. It is poured over the one afflicted with sickness and the wash should be made for the one afflicted with the evil eye. This benefits by the permission of Allah. If he washed his face and rinsed his mouth in a bowel and then poured it on the sick person, that will benefit by the permission of Allah. The intended washing is washing the face, rinsing the mouth, and washing the hands, inside the izar, the toes of the feet, and the knees. This benefits in curing the one afflicted. We tried washing our face, rinsing the mouth, and washing the hands alone and it sufficed by the permission of Allah in removing the evil eye. So if a person intends this and washing the face, hands, and rinsing the mouth in a bowl and pours it on a sick person, it will cure by the permission of Allah”.

📚 *Advices regarding Memorization of Ahadeeth & Manners of attending Duroos*

🖊An Advice from our Shaykh Muhammad Hizaam al-Ba’daani (حفظه الله) on the method of gaining perfection in that which one studies.

🔲Question:
What is the best method to perfect what one has learned from the various branches like Aqeedah, Fiqh, Nahw and Mustalah ?

🔘Answer :
⭐The BEST way is to learn at the hands of a teacher, yes, from one who will benefit you in that segment and do not come out of a lesson except that you have comprehended it.

✔If you haven’t gained comprehension, then ask the teacher until you do and likewise examine yourself with the brothers and revise but do not move onto the next until you have understood the first.

✔Also one must memorize the evidences, if he is able to. Memorize the evidences from the Kitaab and the Sunnah, and the issues, from Fiqh & Aqeedah, connected to it along with its evidences.

✔Then, also, revise the lessons that were taken. For example, everyday, revise the previous lesson before attending the next.

✖Do not attend a lesson except that the one before it has been revised

✔Revise the benefits and at the end of the week repeat what you’ve gone through during the whole week along with memorizing the evidences of that which it contained.

🔲Question :
What is the best method to revise Ahadeeth and Mutoon which are being memorized?

🔘Answer :
It’s the same method.

✅Take a companion in memorizing and repeat what is being memorized until it is memorized.

❎Do not take a second Hadeeth until the first one is perfected in your memory.

❎Do not burden yourself, but take according to your capacity and strength. So if you find 2 or 3 Hadeeth (is within your capability), then do not burden yourself with 5 or 10, but give importance for perfection within your capability.

**Because, for you to memorize 1 or 2 Hadeeth a day with perfection is better than memorizing 5, unevenly, without perfecting it.

✅So give importance to perfecting, and give importance to perfect the previous one before going to the next.
✅Then read it out to your companion from that which you have memorized and repeat and revise.
✅Then repeat on the second day with the listener.
✅And on the third day likewise, repeat and revise with the listener and go over what you did on day 1, 2 and 3.
✅And likewise, 4 days, 5 days, repeating from the beginning, you will have, inshaAllaah done much means to attain perfection in it.
✅Also revise at the weekend and go over it again and then again revise at the middle of the month and go over from the beginning of the book. Then revise at the end of the month from the beginning etc.
