*The Poem that made Imam Ahmad Cry.*

‎إذا ما قال لي ربي أما استحييت تعصيني

If my Lord asks me, “Have you shyness in disobeying me?

‎وتخفي الذنب عن خلقي وبالعصيان تأتيني

You conceal your sins from my creation – and with sins you come to me.”

‎فكيف أجيبُ يا ويحي ومن ذا سوف يحميني؟

So how will I answer? O woe to me – and who shall protect me?

‎أسُلي النفس بالآمالِ من حينٍ الى حيني

I keep averting my soul with thoughts of hope – from time to time.

‎وأنسى ما وراءُ الموت ماذا بعد تكفيني

And I forget what is to come after death – and what is to come after I am shrouded.

‎كأني قد ضّمنتُ العيش ليس الموت يأتيني

As if I am guaranteed life (eternally) – and that death will not come to me.

‎وجائت سكرة الموتُ الشديدة من سيحميني

And when the severe stupor of death overtakes me – who will protect me?

‎نظرتُ الى الوُجوهِ أليـس منُهم من سيفدينـــي

I looked at the faces; is there not from amongst them who will ransom me?

‎سأسأل ما الذي قدمت في دنياي ينجيني

I will be asked regarding what I have prepared in my life to save me (on the Day of Judgement).

‎فكيف إجابتي من بعد ما فرطت في ديني

Then how will I answer – after I have neglected my religion.

‎ويا ويحي ألــــم أسمع كلام الله يدعوني

Woe to me! Did I not hear the Speech of Allāh inviting me?

‎ألــــم أسمع لما قد جاء في قاف ويسِ

Did I not hear what came in (the chapters of) Qāf and Yā-Sīn?

‎ألـــم أسمع بيوم الحشر يوم الجمع و الديني

Did I not hear about the Day of Gathering, the Day of Assemble and the Day of Judgement?

‎ألـــم أسمع مُنادي الموت يدعوني يناديني

Did I not hear the crier of death inviting me, calling me?

‎فيا ربــــاه عبدُ تــائبُ من ذا سيؤويني

So O my Lord, a slave (turning to you) I have repented – so who then shall shelter me?

‎سوى رب غفور واسعُ للحقِ يهديني

Except a Lord extensive in forgiveness – to the truth He will guide me.

‎أتيتُ إليكَ فارحمني وثقــّـل في موازيني

I have come to you (in repentance) so have mercy on me, and make heavy my scales (with good deeds).

‎وخفَفَ في جزائي أنتَ أرجـى من يجازيني

And lighten my account – You are the best of who will bring me to account.

SYMPTOMS OF A WEAK FAITH

Shaykh Al Albani رحمه الله:

“Tightness in the chest, mood swings and depression, which weigh a man down and make him quick to complain about the slightest thing, these all are symptoms of weak faith.

A person easily gets upset with the people around him, and no longer has any tolerance. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم described faith when he said, ‘Īmān is patience and tolerance’”

Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, no. 554, 2/86

“The gentlest of the people to their wives are Ahlus-Sunnah, and from the Sunnah is to have good dealings with one’s wife.”

— Shaykh Al-Albani رحمه الله

Shaykh Al-Albani said:

"Make sure that you master the Qur'aan

and that you learn something new everyday."

[Silsilatul Huda wan Noor, 788]

[julaibib]

A woman should make sure to marry a religious man with a good character and not go for beauty, richness or lineage.

Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah - [Silsilat-ul-Hudaa wan-Noor 594]

[umtxqwa]

So aspire, O Muslim, to know your Islām from your Lord's Book and your Prophet's Sunnah صلى الله عليه وسلم

And don't say, 'So and so said.'

For verily, the Truth is not known by the men nay! know the Truth, and you will recognize the men (who are upon it)!

[Shaykh al-Albani (rahimahullah), as-Saheehah, 5/350]

The Messenger of Allah, صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّم, said:

“Indulge in eating, drinking, dressing, and giving charity, but do so with neither excess nor arrogance.”

*Will Allāh Punish Me For Praying?? | An Excellent Reply To Mawlid Celebrators.*

‎روى البيهقي بسند صحيح عن سعيد بن المسيب أنَّه رأىٰ رجلاً يصلي بعد طلوع الفجر أكثر من ركعتين، يكثر فيها الركوع والسجود ؛ فنهاه ؛ فقال : يا أبا محمد! أيعذبني الله على الصلاة؟! قال : لا ، ولكن يُعذِّبُك علىٰ خِلافِ السُّنـَّة.

Narrated by al-Bayhaqī with a correct chain of narration that Imām Sa’īd b. Al-Musayyib رحمه الله once saw a man praying more than two (Sunnah) Rak’āt after the beginning of Fajr, making bows and prostrations abundantly in it, so he forbade him.

The man said, “O Abū Muḥammad, is Allāh going to punish me for praying?” the Imām replied: “No, but He will punish you for *OPPOSING* the Sunnah.”

‎● [المصدر : إرواء الغليل في تخريج أحاديث منار السبيل ٢\٢٣٦]

A golden reply to those who ask “Will Allāh punish us for commemorating the birth of Prophet ﷺ?”, we say *YES* Allāh will punish those who innovate into His Deen, may Allāh grant us correct understanding of this religion and protect us from all kinds of innovations and misguidance,

Sh. al-Albānī رحمه الله said in its commentary: وهو سلاح قوي على المبتدعة (.. And this narration is a *STRONG WEAPON* against the innovators).

YOUR WIFE IS THE MOST DESERVING OF YOUR GOOD BEHAVIOUR

From Abu Hurairah [رضي الله عنه] that Prophet [ﷺ] said:

«إن أكمل المؤمنين إيماناً أحسنهم خُلقاً، وخياركم خياركم لنسائكم.»

❝The most complete of the Believers in their Eemaan are those who have the best manners, and the best of you are those who are best to their women.❞

[collected By Tirmidhi | Ahmad | Sh. Al-Albani: 'Saheeh' In Silsilah Saheehah, (No. 284)]

————————————————

Shaykh Muhammad Bin Salih Al-Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:

❝Regarding the saying of the Prophet [ﷺ]: ‘The best of you…’ This person is the best of the people, he is the best of them to his wife. So if you have any goodness, then make that goodness for the closest of the people to you, and make it so that your wife is the first to benefit from this good.

And this is the opposite of what some people do today, you find that he has bad manners with his wife, and has good behavior with other people, and this is a great mistake.

Your wife has the most right to good behavior, and having the best manners to them, because she is the one who is with you day and night, openly and secretly. If you are afflicted with something she is afflicted along with you, and if your happy, she is happy along with you, if your sad, she is sad along with you, therefore you should make your dealings with her better than your dealings with strangers, so the best of the people are those who are best of them to their wives.

I ask Allaah to complete my Eemaan and that of the Muslims, and that he makes us the best of the slaves of Allaah to our wives and upon those who have a right upon us.❞

[Explanation of Riyadh As-Saliheen, (3/134) ]

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

مَنْ تواضعَ للهِ رفَعَهُ اللهُ

“Whomsoever humbles himself for [the Sake of] Allah, Allah will elevate his rank.”

[Saheeh al-Jami’, 6162 | Shaykh al-Albani رحمه الله | Saheeh]

[aysufs]

Shaykh al-Albani (rahimahullah) said:

The most excellent colour a woman can wear (for her outer garment, abayah) is black.

It has dignity and decency therin.

It (black) is (a color) far from the action of adornment.

This (wearing of black) was prevalent (and preferred) amongst the female Companions — sahabiyyaat (may Allah be pleased with them).

Tremendous Dua asking Allah for 22 things

On the authority of Ibn ʿAbbas (رضي الله عنه) who said, “I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicating with this:

رَبِّ أَعِنِّي وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ، وَانْصُرْنِي وَلَا تَنْصُرْ عَلَيَّ، وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلَا تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ، وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرِ الهُدَى إِلَيَّ، وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ، رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَكَّارًا، لَكَ ذَكَّارًا، لَكَ رَهَّابًا، لَكَ مِطْوَاعًا، إِلَيْكَ مُخْبِتًا أَوَّاهاً مُنِيبًا، رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِي، وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي، وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي، وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي، وَاهْدِ قَلْبِي، وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي، وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِي

Rabbi a’inni wa la tu’in ‘alayya, wansurni wa la tansur ‘alayya, wamkurli wa la tamkur ‘alayya, wahdini wa yassiril-huda ilayya, wansurni ‘ala man bagha ‘alayya. Rabbij’alni laka shakkaran laka dhakkaran, laka rahhaban, laka mitwa’an, ‘ilayka mukhbitan, aw-wahan muniba. Rabbi taqabbal tawbati, waghsil hawbati wa ajib da’wati, wa thabbit hujjati, wahdi qalbi, wa saddid lisani, waslul sakhimata qalbi

(O Lord! Help me and do not help others against me, support me and do not support others against me, plan for me and do not plan against me, guide me and make guidance easy for me, and help me against those who wrong me. O Lord! Make me grateful to You, make me remember You much, make me fearful of You, obedient to You, humble before You and turning to You. O Lord! Accept my repentance and wash away my sins, answer my supplication, make my proof firm, guide my heart, make my tongue speak the truth, and remove resentment from my heart)

(One of the narrators) Abul-Hasan At-Tanafisi said: “I said to Waki’: ‘Shall I say it in the Qunut of Witr?’ He said: ‘Yes.'”

Note: It is a general dua which can be said anytime.

[Recorded by al-Bukhari in al-Adab al-Mufrad 664 & 665, Abu Dawud 1510, at-Tirmidhi 3551, Ibn Majah 3830, an-Nasai 6/151, Ahmad 3/452, no 1997, Ibn Hibban 3/277, Ibn Abi Shaybah 10/280, Abd b. Humayd 1/236, al-Hakim 1/519 and al-Shihab 2/344, Declared Sahih by al-Albani in Sahih al-Adab al-Mufrad, and Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud 1/414, al-Hakim graded the hadith sahih, al-Dhahabi agreed with him, at-Tirmidhi grades it hasan sahih]

This is a tremendous supplication which contains 22 pleas, all of which are among the most important things for which a slave can ask his Lord. They are also a means to his rectification, happiness and success in this life and the next.

This supplication is of such benefit that al-Bazzar (d. 749) states in his biography of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728), that this particular supplication made up most of his dua’s to Allāh.
