The Wisdom in Creating the Abode of the Dunya & The Abode of The Hereafter – Shaykh Zayd Bin Haadi

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Purification of The Soul.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Allaah – The All Knowing, The All Wise, The Most Benign and Kind, The Lord and Nuturer, The Creator and The Tremendous One, The Magnificent – decreed the creation of the two abodes, the worldly life and the afterlife; then He (Glorified Be He and Free is He from all imperfections) made the first (abode)a place for the (performance of righteous) action and the second (abode) a place of recompense. Indeed He (Glorified Be He and Free is He from all imperfections ) obligated on humans and the Jinn with obligations that are based on commands and prohibitions, and recompense is based on this on the day of judgement.

[Allaah said]:

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ

So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ

And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.

Accompanying One Who is a Slave to His Belly

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood.

Muhammad Ibn Waasi (rahimahullaah) said: “There is no good in accompanying companions and engaging in conversations if they are slaves to their bellies (i.e. only interested in earning in order to eat and enjoy themselves); because if they are like this, some of them will hinder others from the affairs of the aakhirah (i.e. those deeds that will lead them to success in the hereafter).”
 [Reported by Ibn Abee Dunyah ‘ in ( Al-Ikhwaan, page 100)]

[1] From the stories of Al-Allaama Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Scholars of Islam.

Al-Allaama Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madhalee (may Allaah preserve him) said:

I remember we were on a journey to one of the Arab countries-unfortunately-and arrived at one of the hotels; then we said, ”direct us to a restaurant”, and they directed us to what they claim was the best restaurant.   We sat down and got the menu list and in it was alcohol and swine meat.  So we said to the one who gave us the menu list: ”Are you a Muslim?” He said: ”Yes, I am a Muslim.”  We said: ”How can you serve alcohol and swine meat to diners?” He said: ”This is my sustenance and from where would I eat then?” We said to him: ”your sustenance is with Allaah (Glorified and Exalted Be He).  Indeed Allaah has guaranteed your sustenance and the doors of sustenance are open, so fear Allaah.”  And we advised him in every way.

The testimony (in this incident) is that some of the Muslims work in some of the hotels in which there is alcohol and they serve swine meat.  This is in an Islamic land (in which) alcohol and swine meat are served, so how about those who travel to Europe?  I believe that many of them may work in these hotels, serving swine meat to those who eat it amongst the sinful Muslims, the Muslim evil doers and the disbelievers.  This is from the greatest affairs of wrongdoing and from the greatest of the major sins, and it may be a means to an evil end (in this life).  And Allaah’s protection is sought.
