🖋 Etiquette Of Standing At Door كيف يقوم عند الباب ؟

ʿAbdullāh b. Busr RaḍiAllāhu-ʿAnhu said:

“When Prophet would come to someone’s door seeking permission to enter; he wouldn’t stand facing it, rather he would stand to the right or left of it,

If he was given permission he would enter or else he would walk away.”

● [الأدب المفرد للإمام البخاري ١٠٧٨ ، حسنه الألباني]

The scholars mention that the wisdom behind not facing the door directly is that when it opens up; the gaze of the person seeking permission should not fall upon anything inside the house which is not permissible for him to look at!!

And Allāh knows best.

Bilāl ibn Sa’d رحمه الله said:

Indeed, you have a Lord who is not quick to punish any of you. He pardons mistakes, accepts repentance, turns towards those who come to Him, and shows mercy to those who turn away.

[insvnitx]

When a person spends his entire day with no other concern but Allah (‘azza wajall) alone,

Allah (subḥānahu wa ta’āla) will take care of all his needs

and take care of all of that is worrying him.

He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him,

free his tongue so that it will speak only in remembrance of Him,

and cause all his faculties to work only in obedience to Him.

Allaah Gives From His Virtue

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah [رحمه الله] said:

«من اجتهد واستعان بالله تعالى ، و لازم الاستغفار والاجتهاد فلا بد أن يؤتيه الله من فضله ما لم يخطر ببال.»

❝Whoever exerts himself and seeks aid from Allaah [تعالى] and adheres to seeking forgiveness and sacrificing, then most definitely Allaah will give him from His virtue that which had never crossed his mind.❞

[Majmoo Al-Fatawa, (5/62)]

MARRIAGE IS A MEANS AGAINST SINS

هُنَّ لِبَاسٌۭ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌۭ لَّهُنَّ

They (spouse) are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. (2:187)

Commentary: Allah used the following words to describe marriage as the same as wearing ones clothes to protect one from the cold and heat; similarly marriage is a means of safeguarding oneself from sins.

Also marriage provides peace and tranquillity to the heart and there is a physical bond between the husband and wife the same way ones clothes are closely attached to a person.

[Tafseer al-Qurtubi 2/209]

Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

“If a person were to guide you to the road leading to a city you intended to reach, you would consider that a favor they have done for you. So how about the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, who guided you to the path leading to Paradise? It is his right upon you that you send blessings upon him. Peace and blessings be upon him.”

(Fatawa Noor "ala al-Darb, 210/12)

[insvnitx]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"If you knew the true value of yourself, you would never allow yourself to be humiliated by committing sins.

When Iblīs refused to bow to your father 'Adam, he refused to bow to you, so why have you become his friend and left us?

If there was any love in your heart, it's effect would appear on your body."

A man came to Hasan Al-Basri رحمه الله and said:

O Abu Sa'eed! Let me debate with you about the Religion!

Al-Hasan replied:

“As for me, I know my religion, if you have lost your religion, then go and look for it!”

The opinion that sheds the blood of muslims…

Imām ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

“There is no opinion more reprehensible than an opinion in which the blood of thousands of Muslims was shed, and by killing them no benefit was achieved for the Muslims, neither in their religion nor in their worldly life. Rather, the good was diminished from what it was and evil was increased from what it was.”

Who is like you?

Abu Bakr bin Abdullah al Muzani (رحمه الله) said:

“Who is like you, Oh sons and daughters of Adam? Whenever you wish, you use water to purify yourself, then go to the place for worship and thus enter the presence of your Lord (i.e. start praying) without any translator, intermediary, or a barrier between you and Him!”

𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗮𝗵 سبحانه و تعالى

We all face many decisions in life. Some are big, some are tough and life-changing, and some are so heartbreaking that it feels like walking on eggshells. But deep down, we know that we can't do things that upset Allaah. We might have to let go of things that aren't pleasing to Him, whether it's the company of a friend, a personal desire, or love for someone or something. You're not alone, my dear friend. Trust me when I say:

You will never regret a decision you made for the sake of Allaah.

Feeling lost or confused like a fly trapped under a glass?

This happens to everyone at some point. We all face moments when we're burdened with choosing what's best for us. If you’re feeling uncertain on the inside, even Istikhara might not seem to guide you clearly.

But if your decision is truly for the sake of Allaah, then there's no need to worry about the outcome. You will never regret it.

Think of the mother of Musa علیه السلام. When she placed her baby in the basket, she did it for the sake of Allaah. Even in her fear and uncertainty, she trusted in Him, and she was rewarded beyond her imagination.

So, when you choose for Allaah's sake, know that He will never let your efforts go in vain.

EMERGENCY. PLEASE HELP!

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

My dearest brothers & sisters, i humbly ask you to help my sister to fundraise donation for her little daughter's treatments. Her daughter has been suffering from a rare brain disease, and it costs a lot for the treatments.

Ya Ummah, your donation will mean a lot to us, and it will become your best investment in akhirah. Sadaqah will multiply our rizq too. As Allāh says:

"The example of those who spent their wealth in the way of Allāh is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes, in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allāh multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allāh is All-Encompassing and Knowing." {Quran, 2;261}

In another verse, it says:

"Allāh rewards those who are charitable." {Quran, 12;88}

Also, sadaqah or charity expiates sins. As Rasulullah ﷺ said:

"Charity extinguish the sins like water extinguishes a fire." {Hadith Ibn Majah}

My brothers & sisters, please i beg you to help my sister by supporting her daughter's treatments. Auliya still has a very long journey just to heal. Please ya Ummah, help her for Allāh's sake. And may Allāh reward all of you abundantly for your kindness, your sadaqah, and your good intentions. Aameen thumma aameen.

Please, donate any amount you are capable of at the campaign link. And please share the campaign to your family members, friends, and anyone you know.

Thank you so much brothers & sisters. Jazakumullah khayr.

Have sabr or lose your mind

Alī (رضي الله عنه) said to Ash'ath Bn. Qays (رحمه الله):

“You either exercise patience out of Īmān and seeking the reward of Allāh; and if not, you lose your mind as the animals lose their minds.”

معرفة الله ♥︎

قال بعض السلف: مساكين أهل الدنيا خرجوا منها وما ذاقوا أطيب ما فيها، قيل: وما أطيب ما فيها؟ قال: معرفة الله ومحبته والأنس بقربه والشوق إلى لقائه

Some of our righteous predecessors said:

(How) poor are those who left this dunya and did not get to taste the best of it.

It was asked:

What is the best of it?

They replied:

Knowing Allāh, loving Him, experiencing closeness to Him, and longing to meet Him.

ALLAH WILL GRANT YOU SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE LOST

Al-Muṭṭalib reported that Umm Salamah narrated: On an occasion Abū Salamah came back after he was with Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “I heard Allāh’s Messenger recite a statement that made me delighted.”

He said, “No Muslim is struck with an affliction and then says istirja’ (saying: “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiʿūn” [we belong to Allāh and to Him we will return]) when the affliction strikes, and then he says, ‘O Allāh! reward me for my loss and give me what is better than it’, except that Allāh will do that for him.”

إنَّا لله وَإِنّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُون اللهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

Innā lil-Lāhi wa innā ilayhi rajiūn, Allahumma ajirni fī musībatī wa-khluf lī khayran minhā

We belong to Allāh and to Him we will return, O Allāh, reward me for my loss and give me what is better than it

Umm Salamah said: So I memorized these words. When Abū Salamah died I said istirja’ and said: “O Allāh, compensate me for my loss and give me what is better than it.”

I then thought about it and said, “Who is better than Abū Salamah?” When my ʿiddah finished, Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked for permission to see me while I was dyeing a skin that I had. I washed my hands, gave him permission to enter and handed him a pillow, and he sat on it.

He then asked me for marriage and when he finished his speech. I said, “O Messenger of Allāh! It is not that I do not want you, but I am very jealous and I fear that you might experience some wrong mannerism from me for which Allāh would punish me.

And I am old and have ʿiyāl (children).” He (ﷺ) then said, “As for the jealousy that you mentioned, Allāh the Exalted will remove it from you. As for being old as you mentioned, I have suffered what you have suffered.

And as for what what you mentioned of having children, then verily your children are my children.” She said, “I have submitted to Allāh’s Messenger.” Allāh’s Messenger married her.

And Umm Salamah said later, “Allāh compensated me for Abū Salamah with someone better than him: the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ).”

[Sahih Muslim (918), Imam Ahmad, al-Musnad (16344), Abu Dawood no 3119 and At-Tirmidhi 3511 and declared authentic by Al-Albani, also see Saheeh al-Jami 5/432 no 6479]

Do Not Make Yourself Incapable

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin [رحمه الله] said:

“The Messenger's ‎ﷺ saying, 'Do not make yourself incapable' means: Do not become lazy and go back on an action once you have started it; rather, persist.

This is because if you left it and then afterwards started another action, and then afterwards you left [that] and then started, and then left, none of your actions would [ever] get completed.”

[Sharh Riyad Al-Salihin, (2/82) | Translated By Mikail Ibn Mahboob Ariff]
