Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) warns against Riyaa!

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Monotheism - Tawheed, Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

“Riyaa is that you perform an act (of worship) and intend that the people see you, praise and commend you. And from that is to perform an act (of worship) in order to be heard, such as reading (the Qur’aan) in order that you are praised and that it is said: ”Indeed, his reading is good and beautiful”; or you perform a lot of Dhikr in order that you are praised and it is said: “He performs a lot of dhikr;” or you enjoin good and forbid evil so that you are praised and commended. This is Riyaa and Shirk Asghar. Therefore, it is obligatory to be mindful of this and that you perform your deeds for the Sake of Allaah alone; and not for the people, their praises and commendations for you; rather you learn in order to act and teach your brothers. And you lead them in the prayer whilst hoping for the reward from Allaah and intending to benefit them, and not out of an intention to be seen or heard.

Reflecting upon those whom Allah has favoured – Shaykh Ibnul Uthaymeen

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen – rahimahullah- said:

The statement of Allah “The path of those whom you have favoured” is an evidence that it’s upon us to look into the lives of those whom Allah has favoured, as to who they were and what their condition was. This is so that we may be guided to their path. And an extension to that is an encouragement for us to know the biography of The Prophet – صلى الله عليه وسلم – due to him being the most favoured by Allah.

From the benefits of the story of Aadam (alayhis salaam) Part 2– Imaam As-Sa’dee

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Purification of The Soul.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

And from the benefits;

It is obligatory for the slave if he falls into sin, that he hastens to repentance and confession and he says that which the two parents (Aadam and Hawaa) said, with a sincere heart and turning repentantly (to Allah); for Allah did not narrate to us the description of their repentance except that we emulate them; so that we are successful with happiness and saved from destruction.

Sickness of the Heart – Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Purification of The Soul.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:

Sickness of the heart; (and protection is sought from Allah) it brings about corruption in one’s worldly life and after life. If the heart becomes sick with doubt, polytheism, hypocrisy or a dislike for what Allah has revealed, or hatred towards Allah’s allies, or with anything that is similar to that, then indeed (as a result of that) his worldly life and after life will end up in ruin. Therefore, it is binding upon you whenever you ask for well-being to bring to mind that you’re asking (for both) well-being against illness of the heart as well as illness of the body.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

فَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُہُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ۬ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

قَالَ قَآٮِٕلٌ۬ مِّنۡہُمۡ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ۬

يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُصَدِّقِينَ

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابً۬ا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ

قَالَ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ

فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرۡدِينِ

وَلَوۡلَا نِعۡمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡضَرِينَ

Then they (i.e. the people of paradise) will turn to one another, mutually questioning. A speaker of them will say: “Verily, I had a companion (in the world), Who used to say: “Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death). (That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)? (The man) said: “Will you look down? So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire. He said: “By Allah! You have nearly ruined me. Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell).” [37:50-57]

Who are your companions and for what reason have you chosen them as companions?!

Allaah (The Most High) said:

ٱلۡأَخِلَّآءُ يَوۡمَٮِٕذِۭ بَعۡضُهُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

”Friends on that Day (i.e. Day of Judgement) will be foes one to another except Al-Muttaqun (pious)” [43:67]

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهُ ۥ مَا زَكَىٰ مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَبَدً۬ا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ۬

”And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.” [24:21]

Tremendous Advise Shaikh Raslaan received from his father!

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul.

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said about his father (rahimahullaah):

”You taught me that a rebuke of truth is more honorable for me than a praise of falsehood; and that the reproach of a truthful person is better for me than the praise of a liar.”
