The One Who Has Fallen Into Doubts And Desires – Shaykh Rabee ibn Haadi Al-Madkhalee

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul.

Shaykh Rabee ibn Haadi Al-Madkhalee (hafidahullah) was asked:

What is your advice – Allah preserve you – to the one who has fell into the sea of desires and doubts?

My advice to him is that he repents to Allah and that he brings to mind the statement of Allah:

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Say: “O ‘Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Az-Zumar: 53]

So if you swam in the sea of disbelief for you is to exit with repentance to Allah (tabaaraka wa ta’aala), therefore upon him is to repent to Allah and return to Allah, the door of repentance is open for all of the servants (of Allah).

What Is Zuhd (Abstinence From The Worldly Life) – Abu Sulayman

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Articles, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Zuhd (Abstinence).

Abu Sulaymaan [rahimahullaah] said:

“Abstinence from the worldly life is to abandon that which preoccupies you away from [the remembrance and obedience to] Allaah.” He (rahimahullaah) also said: “Everything that preoccupies you away from [remembrance and obedience to] Allaah- be it [your] family, wealth and children- then indeed it is misfortune.”

Those Who Forsake Ahlus Sunnah in Times of Trial, Hardship and Need–[Ahlul-Khadhlaan]

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Tamyee'.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Ibn Manzoor mentions in Lisaanul-‘Arab: [والتَّخْذيل:حَمْلُ الرجل على خِذْلان صاحبه وتَثْبِيطُه عن نصْرته]:  At-Takhdheel is when a man betakes to forsaking and abandoning his comrade [friend] and holds back from helping and aiding him.

[ الخاذِلُ: ضد الناصر- Al- Khaadhil is the opposite of an-Naasir (the helper, one who aides you, supports and backs you up)]. So Al-Khadhlaan is when someone forsakes and abandons someone or something.  So Ahlul- khadhlaan are those people who forsake and abandon the truth and its people when they need them.   [So basically they are yellow bellied turncoats who run away from and leave the people of truth when they most need them]!!!  If you look at the verbal noun Takhdeel means: To incite or induce someone from abstaining from, or neglect in aiding, assisting the truth or its people; and also it means to hinder, withhold or prevent from aiding, assisting his companion.

 إِن يَنصُرْكُمُ اللّهُ فَلاَ غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِن يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَن ذَا الَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّن بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكِّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

If Allaah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allaah (Alone) let the believers put their trust. (Surah Aali Imran 3:160)

 يَا وَيْلَتَى لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا لَقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءنِي وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنسَانِخَذُولًا

“Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this Qur’aan) after it had come to me. And Shaitaan (Satan) is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need.” (Surah Al-Furqan 25:28-29)

Ibn Asaakir [rahimahullaah] said:

Know O my brother! May Allaah grant us and you His Pleasure and make us from those who have awe and fear of Him as He should be feared. Indeed, the flesh of the scholars is poisonous and Allaah’s way of disclosing the hidden affairs of those who diminish their worth is well known.

It was said to Abu Haazim (rahimahullaah):

What is your wealth? He said: I have two (sources) of wealth by way of which I cannot fear poverty, reliance upon Allaah and not being desperate for what people possess. It was said to him: ‘’Do you not fear poverty? He said: ‘’should I fear poverty when my Protector (Allaah) owns what is in the heavens and the earth, and all that is under the soil?!’’

What is Certainty? – Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu)

Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Certainty is that you neither please the people to displease Allaah nor envy anyone for the provision Allaah has given him, nor blame anyone for what Allaah has not given you; because Allaah’s provision will neither come to you through the eagerness of the one [who wants it to come to you] nor will it be repelled by the dislike of the one who dislikes that [it should be given to you].
