تزكية النفس هبةٌ ربّانِيّة!

'…and guidance has another level. And it is the last of its ranks, and it is the guidance on the Day of Resurrection to the path of Paradise. Whoever is guided in this abode to the straight path of Allah, with which He sent His Messenger, and sent down His books, he will be guided there to the straight path that leads to His Paradise and the abode of His reward.

… and according to the degree of him treading/embarking on the path that Allah Has set for His servants in this abode, his walking on that path ( the sirat) will equal to that.

Some of them pass like lightning, and some of them pass in a moment, and some of them pass like the wind … and some of them run, and some pass by walking, and some by crawling, and some (cross but) get wounded deeply, and some of them are crammed and plunged into the fire.

So let the servant of Allah at the path he walks on now, and take this path described as an example, as you are rewarded only in accordance to what you used to do.'

may Allah guide us to paradise without punishment and pain

وَٱصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِى ضَيْقٍۢ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ

And be patient, [O Muḥammad], and your patience is not but through Allāh. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire.

‏فالبصيرة نور يقذفه الله في القلب —
يرى به حقيقة ما أخبرت به الرسل، كأنه شاهد رائ عينٍ، فيتحقق مع ذلك انتفاعه بما دعت إليه الرسل، وتضرُّرُه بمخالفتهم. وهذا معنى قول بعض العارفين: البصيرة تحقق الإنتفاع بالشيء والتضرُّرُ به. وقال بعضهم: البصيرة ما خلَّصكَ من الحيرة، إما بإيمان، وإما بعيان.

‏والمنافقون لهم علامات يعرفون بها مبينة في السنة والقرآن بادية لمن تدبرها من أهل بصائر الإيمان، قام بهم والله الرياء، و هو اقبح مقام قامه الإنسان وقعد بهم الكسل عما أُمروا به من أوامر الرحمن ، فأصبح الإخلاص لذلك عليهم ثقيلاً،

﴿ وَإِذا قاموا إِلَى الصَّلاةِ قاموا كُسالى يُراءونَ النّاسَ وَلا يَذكُرونَ اللَّهَ إِلّا قَليلًا﴾ [النساء: ١٤٢]

يؤخرون الصلاة عن وقتها الأول إلى شَرَقِ الموتَى، ‏فالصبح عند طلوع الشمس ، والعصر عند الغروب، وينقرونها نقر الغراب، إذ هي صلاة الابدان لا صلاة القلوب ، و يلتفتون فيها التفات الثعلب ، إذ يتقيّن أنه مطرودٌ مطلوب ، ولا يشهدون الجماعة ، بل إن صلَّى أحدهم ففي البيت أو الدكان ، وإذا خاصَمَ فجر ، وإذا عاهَدَ غدر، وإذا حدَّثَ كذب, وإذا وعد أخلف، وإذا اؤتُمِنَ خان.

‏كره الله طاعاتهم، لِخُبثِ ‏قلوبهم وفساد نياتهم، فثبطهم عنها وأقعدهم، وأبغض قربهم منه وجوارهم، لميلهم إلى اعدائه، فطردهم عنه و أبعدهم، وأعرضوا عن وحيه فأعرض عنهم ، وأشقاهم وما أسعدَهم ، وحَكَمَ عليهم بحُكمٍ عدْلٍ لا مطمع لهم في الفلاح بعده، إلّا أن يكونوا من التائبين، فقال:

﴿وَلَو أَرادُوا الخُروجَ لَأَعَدّوا لَهُ عُدَّةً وَلكِن كَرِهَ اللَّهُ انبِعاثَهُم فَثَبَّطَهُم وَقيلَ اقعُدوا مَعَ القاعِدينَ﴾
[التوبة: ٤٦]

نجّانا الله من النفاق

And in the word المنيب also is the meaning of hastening, returning and advancing, so (al-Munib) to Allah — the one who hastens to His pleasure, the one who returns to Him all the time, the one who advances to His favour

another factor that spoils the heart: excessive eating.

excessively eating that which is permissible to eat and not knowing the limits of satiety makes the heart and soul burdened when it comes to obedience, and instead, it preoccupies the soul with filling the stomach ….

and (from the results of overeating) is that the paths from which shaytan enters are widened… and whoever eats a lot and drinks a lot, sleeps a lot and thus, he loses a lot, and mentioned in the famous hadith "the human does not fill any container that is worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat what will support his back. If this is not possible, then a third for food, a third for drink, and third for his breath."

— (but) fasting narrows the paths of shaytan and blocks its paths.

[ also a brief reminder to fast tomorrow (thursday) if able. May Allah accept it from you all ]

حَٰفِظُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلصَّلَوَٰتِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ٱلْوُسْطَىٰ وَقُومُوا۟ لِلَّهِ قَٰنِتِينَ

إن الله سبحانه وتعالى يعطي الدنيا على نية الآخرة، وأبى أن يعطي الآخرة على نية الدنيا؛ خلل حال المرء في دنياه ومعاده إنما هو عن خلل حال دينه، وملاك دينه وأساسه إيمانه وصلاته؛ فمن حافظ على الصلوات أصلح الله حال دنياه وأخراه.
البقاعي: ١ / ٤٥٠.

ذكر آية الصلاة بين آيات الطلاق يوحي بعلاقة بين صلاح الأسرة والصلاة، فما هذه العلاقة؟

Just ask for forgiveness.

A man complained to Hasan al-Basri about a drought.

So he said to him: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

Another man complained to him of poverty.

So he said to him: Pray to Allaah to forgive you.

Another man said to him: Pray to Allaah to bless me with a child.

He said: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

Another complained to him that his garden was dry.

He said to him: Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.

We asked him about that and he said: This is not my personal opinion.

For Allaah says:
Ask forgiveness from your Lord, Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver;

He’ll send rain to you in abundance.

And give you increase in wealth and children,
and bestow on you gardens
and bestow on you rivers.

Surah Nuh (v. 10-12)

“And I have never been unblessed in my invocation to you, O my Lord”
- maryam:4

— meaning, i have not experienced from you except that you would respond to my supplication and that you would never refuse me in whatever I ask of you.

one of my favourite lectures I like to turn back to. May Allah have mercy on the shaykh

(In Arabic and English)

narrated ’abdur-Rahman bin [Sa'eed bin] Wahb - that is Al-Hamdani:
that 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I asked about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about this Ayah: And those who give that which they give with their hearts full of fear... (23:60)" 'Aishah said: "Are they those who drink Khamr and steal?" He said: "No, O daughter of As-Siddiq. They are those who fast, perform Salat, give charity while they fear that their Lord will not accept it from them: It is these who hasten to do good deeds, and they are the foremost of them (23:61)." #الإكسير_٦

القَلبُ في سَيرِهِ إلى الله عَزَّ وجَلَّ بِمَنْزِلة الطَّائر؛ فَالمَحَبّة رَأْسُهُ والخَوفُ والرَّجَاءُ جَنَاحَاه، فَمَتَى سَلِمَ الرَّأسُ والجَنَاحَانْ فَالطَّيرُ جَيد الطَّيرَانْ، ومَتَى قُطِعَ الرَّأس مَاتَ الطَّائر، ومَتَى فَقَد الجَنَاحَانْ فَهو عُرضَة لِكُلِّ صَائِد وكَاسِر..ولكِنَّ السَّلَفْ استَحَبُّوا أنْ يَقوى في الصّحة جَنَاحُ الخَوفْ على جَنَاح الرَّجَاء، وعِنْدَ الخُرُوجْ مِنَ الدُّنيا يَقوى جَنَاحُ الرَّجَاء على جَنَاح الخَوف".

and the Prophet ﷺ used to pass by the young boys and greet them.. and he would be in his house at the service of his family… and he would mend his shoes, patch his clothes, and milk the sheep for his family. he ﷺ would feed the camel, eat with the servant, and sit with the poor. he ﷺ would go on walks with the widows and the orphans and tend to their needs. he ﷺ would greet those who met him with greetings, and answer the invitation of those who invited him or called out to him, even if it was for the smallest thing.

gentle reminder as we try to better ourselves

"Allah is Wise and may test a person with sin in order to set him straight, just as He may test a person with hunger in order to improve his health. Adam was only chosen after he had committed sin and repented therefrom."

Ibn Uthaymin, the explaintion of Zaad al-Mustaqni’, 3/66.

ليس الإنسان إلا ما يفكر به طوال يومه…
a person is not except what he thinks of throughout his day
