Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) said:
”knowledge is not about narrating a lot; rather it is light that Allaah places in the heart. Its prerequisite (for application) is adherence to the [Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)], fleeing from desires and innovation.”
[Siyar 13/323]

Amr Ibn Muhammad said: Al-Ghalaabee narrated to us from Ibraaheem Ibn Umar Ibn Habeeb who said: It used to be said:
Praiseworthiness cannot be found in the one who is (constantly) hasty nor can happiness be found in the one who is (constantly) angry.
(Sound) aspiration cannot be found in the one who is uncontrollable nor can envy be found in the generous one.
Richness cannot be found in the greedy one nor can the boring one have brothers (i.e. people he socialises with).

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
”The truthful heart is filled with the light of truthfulness alongside the light of Eemaan.” [Madaarij As-Saalikeen: 2/282]
Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَعِنْدَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ
”And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes. (Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.” [As-Saffaat: Aayaat 48-49]
And in a hadeeth reported by Abu Hurairah, the women of Jannah are described as follows: ‘’The marrow of the bones of the wives legs will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty.’’ [Bukhari: Number 3245]
We ask Allaah (The Most High) to grant us Tawfeeq to fear and obey Him as He should be feared and obeyed. We ask Him (The Most Merciful) to show us forgiveness, overlook our short comings and forgive us our sins, and enter us into paradise. …Aameen
Poem: The Righteous Husband
He is a protector and like a lion when the need should arise,
Abusiveness and oppression is not that upon which his manhood relies.
His words are kind, gentle, and soft upon her ear,
Yet clearly spoken and loud enough for her heart to hear.
He comes home to his wife with contentment and anticipation,
Being very attentive to her needs, endowing upon her total elation.
He fears his Lord, The Most Merciful and Sublime,
By being mindful and aware of how he provides her the time,
To have peace and relaxation of her soul, her body, and her mind.
He is the friend and companion the one whom she will always admire,
Protecting not only himself but also her from the fire.
He is the one who’s hard to find all throughout the land,
The favor and blessing from her Lord, The Righteous Husband.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
O people! Fear Allaah (The Most High) and thank Him for the apparent and unapparent blessings He has bestowed upon you. He has not ceased granting you occasions of good and virtue. The month of hajj has elapsed and now you have reached the month of Al-Muharram, which Allaah has specially chosen.
Firstly: Muharram is amongst those months in which Allaah made fighting forbidden. Allaah (The Most High) said:
(إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْراً فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ)
‘’ Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred.’’ [9:36]
These four months are: Dhul Qida, Dhul Hijja, the Month of Muharram and Rajab—Allaah made fighting forbidden during these months in order that those who performed the Hajj and Umrah are safe in their journey to Hajj and Umrah. However, when Islaam came—all praise is due to Allaah—safety became widespread and the disbelievers were driven away and Jihaad in the path of Allaah (The Might and Majestic) was established whenever that was possible.
Indeed this month of Muharram has virtue; the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’The best fasting after the month of Ramadhaan is the fasting in the month of Muharram.’’ So it is desired to increase in fasting during this month. It is the month that the companions—during Umar’s time (radiyallaahu-anhu)—chose to be the beginning of the Hijri calendar.
Virtues of the Month of Muharram
Amongst its greatest virtues is that the Day of Ashoorah is found within it. It is a Day in which the Prophet (sallal-laahua-alayhi-wasallam) selected for the performance of fasting. Likewise, Moosaa (alayhis-sallam) fasted on this day in order to thank Allaah for drowning pharaoh and his people. And after the death of Moosa (alayhis-salaam), the Jews also used to fast on this day of Ashoorah.
When the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) arrived in Madeenah, he found the Jews fasting on this day of Ashoorah, so he said to them: ‘’What is this fasting of yours?’’ They said: ‘’It was the day Allaah gave victory to Moosa and his people and humiliated pharaoh and his people. Indeed, Moosaa fasted on this Day, so we also fast. So the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: We have more right to (follow) Moosaa than you.’’
The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) continuously fasted this day and commanded the companions to fast as well. However, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) want us to oppose the Jews, so he commanded us to fast a day before Ashoorah (i.e. the 9th of Muharram) before fasting on the 10th (i.e. Day of Ashoorah); and it is stated in another narration: ‘’A day after it (i.e. a day after Ashoorah); but fasting on the 9th day of Muharram before fasting the 10th of Al-Muharram (i.e. the day of Ashoorah) is more established.
So we fast on the day of Ashoorah (i.e. the 10th of Muharram) in order to follow the example of Allaah’s Prophet Moosaa (alayhis-salaam), and it was the day in which Allaah gave victory to the Muslims (of Bani Israaeel). It is victory for the Muslims until the Day of Judgement and a blessing from Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) for which He is thanked through the act of fasting.
Fasting on the Day of Ashoorah is a Sunnah Mu-akkadah [i.e. a practice the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) performed continuously). Therefore, the Muslim fasts on the 9th of Muharram and the 10th of Muharram, and this is a Sunnah that has continued—all praise is due to Allaah—and fasting on this day is emphasized, whilst seeking Allaah’s reward and in order to thank Him.
The way of the Prophets and their true followers is that they thank Allaah for giving them victory through performance of acts of obedience and remembrance of Allaah. However, they do not innovate anything in this affair because that was the way of the people of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance. It is not permissible for a Muslim to exceed the limits in this affair.
As for the shia, they make the Day of Ashoorah a Day of sadness, weeping and wailing—may Allaah disfigure them—because it was the day Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu) who was murdered. Indeed calamity is not to be faced with wailing, sins and evil deeds; rather it should be faced with obedience to Allaah and hoping for Allaah’s reward. There is no doubt that the killing of Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu) was a calamity, but Allaah commanded us to exercise patience and hope for His reward during calamities. What is legislated on this Day of Ashoorah is that we fast and there should be no newly invented matters in the religion.
Likewise, there are those ignorant ones amongst the Sunnis who consider this Day as a day of happiness and some of them call it the New Year; so they behave generously towards their children, serving them food and bestowing gifts to one another. Indeed, these affairs are innovations and newly invented matters in the religion, and they are not permissible. This action of those ignorant Sunnis is the other side of falsehood compared to the actions of the shia! The shia grieve and the ignorant Sunnis display happiness. Do they (i.e. these ignorant Sunni) show happiness for murder of Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu), because this ignorant act will be considered as a manifestation of happiness due to the murder of Husain (radiyallaahu-anhu) on this Day. Therefore, it is obligated upon the Muslim to follow the Sunnah and abandon innovations in the religion. Innovations in the religion are not opposed with other innovations worse than them; rather innovations are opposed by abandoning them and reviving the Sunnah.
