من استغنى بالله اكتفى.

We're going to start the Arabic Books Reading Program from Saturday July 20.
This program is for reading Arabic books, it is the third reading program after the success of the first two, alhamdulilah. Reading is a dire necessity and more so for the student of knowledge.

The books will be intermediate level and less than 300-350 pages. We will read a book a month, the goal is to complete it in a month.

Everyone reads at their own pace but it has to be completed in a month. The groupchat is to share benefits, ask questions and discuss the book.

The language of communication is entirely in فصحى If you want to benefit and increase in knowledge, join us.

" القراءة رغيف العقل."

This program is for sisters only, men please don't request to get added.

Interested sisters please text the owner @sdemsee

‏أطمئن :
Rest assured:

‏الذي خسرته هو ملك الله
What you lost is the property of Allah

‏والذي اوجعَ قلبك عبداً لله
And the one who made your heart hurt is a servant of Allah

‏والذي تتمناه هو عند خزائن الله
What you wish for is in the treasures of Allah

‏والهمّ الذي تحمله على عاتقك هو ابتلاء من الله
The worry you carry on your shoulders is a test from Allah

‏والمستقبل الذي تخافه هو بيد الله
The future you fear is in the hands of Allah

‏والذي احترق قلبك لموته رحل إلى رحمة الله
And the one whose death burned your heart has departed to Allah's mercy

‏نحنُ من الله والى الله
We are from Allah and for Allah

‏وان الله ارحم بعبده من امه عليه.
And Allah is more merciful to His servant than his mother is to him.

"‏قويُّ التوكُّل لا يُهزَم ، ومُلِّح الدعاء لا يُخذل"

"The one who relies strongly on Allah will not be defeated, and the one who is persistent with his prayers will not be disappointed."

الفرق بين التائب، والمنيب، والأواب؟
The difference between "at-Taa'ib", "al-Muneeb", and "al-Awwaab"?

قال ابن علان رحمه الله :
Ibn 'Ata, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

"فمن رجع عن المخالفات خوفاً من عذاب الله = فهو تائب..

"Whoever returns from disobedience out of fear of Allah's punishment = he is a Taa'ib (repentant).

ومن رجع حياء = فهو منيب..
And whoever returns out of shame (for his actions) = he is a Muneeb (one who constantly turns back in repentance).

ومن رجع تعظيماً لجلال الله سبحانه = فهو أوّاب".
And whoever returns out of reverence for the majesty of Allah, glorified be He = he is an Awwaab (one who frequently returns to obedience)."

لماذا شبّه الله الدنيا بالماء..؟!!
Why did Allah سبحانه وتعالى compare the world with water?

فائدة جليلة وجميلة للإمام القرطبي رحمه الله؛
The reason why Allah likened the world to water is explained beautifully by Imam al-Qurtubi (may Allah have mercy on him).

قال عند قوله تعالى : {واضرب لهم مثل الحياة الدنيا كماء أنزلناه من السماء} [الكهف - ٤٥]..
He said regarding Allah's statement, "And present to them an example of the life of this world as water which We send down from the sky..." [18:45]

"قال الحكماء: شبّه الله سبحانه وتعالى الدنيا بالماء لـ:
"The wise have said: Allah, glory be to Him, likened the world to water because:

- لأنّ الماء لا يستقر في موضع، كذلك الدنيا لا تبقى على حالٍ واحدة.
- Water does not stay in one place, just as the world does not remain in one state.

- ولأنّ الماء يذهب ولا يبقى، فكذلك الدنيا تفنى ولا تبقى.
- Water flows away and does not remain, similarly, the world perishes and does not endure.

- ولأنّ الماء لا يقدر أحد أن يدخله ولا يبتلّ، وكذلك الدنيا لا يسلم أحد من فتنتها وآفتها.
- No one is safe from entering water or being touched by it, likewise, no one is safe from the trials and afflictions of the world.

- ولأنّ الماء إذا كان بقدر كان نافعاً مُنبتاً، وإذا جاوز المقدار كان ضارّاً مُهلكاً، وكذلك الدنيا؛ الكفاف منها ينفع، وفُضولها يضرّ" .

- Water, when in moderation, is beneficial and nurturing, but when excessive, it is harmful and destructive. Similarly, the world: sufficiency from it is beneficial, but excess of it harms."

- لأحكام القرآن - القرطبي.

‏قَالَ بَعضُ السَّلَفِ :
Some of the early Muslims said:

"مَا نَزل مِن السَّمَاءِ أعزُّ مِن التَّوفِيقِ،
"Nothing descends from the sky more honorable than guidance,

ولَا صَعدَ مِن الأرضِ أعزُّ مِن الإخلَاصِ".
and nothing ascends from the earth more honorable than sincerity."

التَّحبِيرُ شَرح التَّحرِير - (٦٢)

"Whoever knows the Quran, knows Allah, and whoever knows Allah, knows everything."

الخير كله في الرضا والحمد..
"All goodness is in contentment and praise.

فإن استطعت فارض و اشكر الله وإن لم تستطع فاصبر.
So, if you are able, be content and thankful to Allah, and if you are not able, then be patient."

"O Allah, do not let our hearts get deserted. Those hearts we have grown fond of, and cannot imagine life without, bring them closer to us."

من أعظم النعم على العبد أن يُوصف بأنه عبدٌ أواب.

إذا أذنب تاب وأناب، وإذا أخطأ رجع وندم، وإذا ظلم تراجع واستغفر، وهي خَصلة نجاة ومجمع فلاح، نجى الله نبيه أيوب من البلاء فقال: ﴿نعم العبد إنه أواب﴾.

One of the greatest blessings for a servant is to be described as a repentant servant.

If he sins, he repents and returns to Allah. If he makes a mistake, he comes back and regrets it. If he wrongs someone, he retracts and seeks forgiveness. This is a trait of salvation and a source of success. Allah saved His prophet Ayyub from affliction, saying: "What an excellent servant! Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah]."

إن الكِرام وإن ضاقت معيشتهم
The noble, even if their living conditions are constricted,

دامت فضيلتهم والأصل غلاب
Their virtue remains, as nobility is inherent.

إن ربكم حيٌ كريم
Indeed, your Lord is ever living and Generous.

يستحي من عبده إذا رفع يديه إليه أن يردهمها صفرًا..
He feels shy to let His servant raise their hands to Him in supplication and then return them empty.

"O Allah, make your meeting beloved to us, facilitate your decree for us, and lessen the world for us."

" أم حسبتم أن تدخلوا الجنة ولما يعلم الله الذين جاهدوا منكم ويعلم الصابرين"

"Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah has not yet made evident those of you who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast?"

سَتُبتلى في رحلة حفظ القرآن
"You will be tested on the journey of memorizing the Quran.

فاثبت
So, be steadfast.

قف على حلمك وقاتل وقل: لا أبرح حتى أبلغ.
Stand on your ambition, fight, and say: "I will not rest until I achieve."

- أعظم حلم يسعى له: "حفظ القرآن" لا تستلم أو تسمع لأحد من المخذلين،
- The greatest ambition to pursue: "Memorizing the Quran." Do not submit to or heed those who disappoint.

ابتعد عنهم وكن قريباً من أهل الهمم ونافسهم الحفظ والضبط.
Distance yourself from them and be close to people of aspirations. Compete with them in memorization and accuracy."

تخيل القرآن واقفلك على باب القبر بيقولك متخافش أنا صاحبك.
Imagine the Quran standing at the door of your grave, telling you not to fear, "I am your companion!"

- د/ حازم شومان.

الصَّبر في انتظار الفرج عبادةٌ؛
Patience while waiting for relief is an act of worship,
‏فإنَّ الله كريم العطاء،
Indeed, Allah is generous in granting,
‏وإنَّ الشِّدَّة إلى انتهاء،
and hardships will eventually end,
‏فلا تستطيلوا البلاء،
so do not prolong the suffering,
‏ ‏ولا تتركوا الدُّعاء،
and do not abandon supplication.

‏قال الله تعالى:
‏ (سَيَجْعَلُ اللهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا).
Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:
"Allah will make, after hardship, ease."

And He سبحانه وتعالى said:

"And Allah increases those who have been guided in guidance"(19:76)

Whenever a person acts upon their knowledge, Allah increases them in memorization and understanding, in line with His general statement:

"He increases them in guidance."

‏بعضُ أمراضِ القلوبِ تخفى على صاحبِهَا فلا يعلمُ عنها،
Some heart diseases are hidden from their owner, so they are unaware of them.

ولذلكَ ينبغي على العبدِ أن يسألَ الله العافيةَ أولاً ، وأن يرزقَهُ قلباً سليماً ،
Therefore, a servant should first ask Allah for well-being and a sound heart,

وأنْ يقرأَ في عالمِ القلوبِ وأمراضِهَا لعله ينجو .
and also study the realm of hearts and their diseases in hopes of finding salvation.

There are things that sadden you, but you lack the ability to change them. These things don't need your thoughts, preoccupation, or suffering. They need from you only surrender and acceptance, saying: "There is no power nor strength except through Allah."

Understand that this problem has left from your ability and strength to Allah's, and proceed with peace.
