How Istiqāmah is attained – Shaykh Ṣālih Al-Fawzān

Shaykh Ṣālih Al-Fawzān (hafidahullāh):

Allāh commanded with steadfastness (upon the religion), moderation, taking the middle course and He prohibited harshness and negligence.

How is Istiqāmah Attained?

Steadfastness is (attained by ones actions and belief) being in conformity with the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Messenger (alaihi salātu was salām), and that which the Pious Predecessors from the early period of this nation were upon.

Trials and Tests Distinguish the Believer from the Hypocrite – Shaykh Fawzān

Shaykh Ṣālih Al-Fawzān (hafidahullāh):

From the Way of Allāh – The Glorified, The Most High – with his creation, is that he trials and tests them. He does not leave them without trials and tribulation, for if he was to leave mankind without trialling them, then the believer would not be distinguished from the hypocrite and the truthful would not become clear from the liar.

Reason Behind The Appearance and Disappearance of Calamities – By Ameerul Mu’mineen Ali [radiyallaahu-anhu]

Ameerul Mu’mineen Ali Ibn Abee Taalib [radiyallaahu-anhu] said:

”A calamity does not descend except due to sin and a calamity is not removed except due to repentance.”


[Al-Jawaab Al-Kaafi’ by Imaam Ibnul Qayyim. Page 49]

 

Do Not Betray the Responsibility you have been Entrusted with – Shaykh Ṣālih Al-Fawzān

Shaykh Ṣālih Al-Fawzān (hafidahullāh):

Save yourself from the fire by having taqwa of Allāh and (likewise) save your children from the fire by way of (giving them) righteous cultivation upon Islām and upon (performing actions of) the religion and having excellent manners. If not (i.e. if you have not given them this cultivation), then indeed you have betrayed the responsibility which you were entrusted with.

The Tongue is the Most Dangerous of Limbs – Shaykh Ṣālih Al-Fawzān

Shaykh Ṣālih Al-Fawzān (hafidahullāh):

The tongue is the most dangerous of limbs, due to this every limb frees themselves from the tongue, admonishes it and reminds it to fear Allāh and have taqwa of Him, by saying:

” Fear Allāh for our sake, (for) we are with you; if you are upright, we will be upright; and if you are crooked, we will become crooked.” [1]

Reflection: [O Allaah! Distance Us From This Type of Behaviour]

And when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allah Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: “Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!”

Way of the Prophets in Supplicating to Allah – Shaykh Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān

Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān (hafidahullāh):

It is a must that the Muslim supplicates and calls upon his Lord in every time and location. He (should) humble himself to Allāh because this is the way of the Prophets and Messengers (alayhimus salātu was salām.)
