Reflection: The Conditional Promise Before a Return to Strength and Authority

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Basics, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Must Read, Purification of The Soul.

Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) that the Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: While a person was in the wilderness he heard a voice from the cloud [commanding it thus]: Irrigate the garden of so and so. After that the clouds slunk aside and poured water on a stony ground. It filled a channel amongst the channels of that land and that person followed that water and he found a person standing in the garden busy in changing the course of water with the help of a hatchet. He said to him: Servant of Allah, what is your name? he said: So and so. And it was that very name which he had heard from the clouds. And he said to him: Servant of Allah, why do you ask me my name? He said: I heard a voice from the clouds of which It is the downpour, saying: Water the garden of so and so, (with a mention) of your name. What do you do (for the favour) shown to you by Allah in this matter? He said: Now as you state so; I look what yield I get from it, then I give one-third as charity out of it and I and my family eat one-third of it and one-third I return to it as investment.’’ And in another narration of this same hadeeth, he said: I earmark one-third for the poor, the needy and the wayfarer.

 

 

Sincerity and Servitude to Allaah- [O Allaah! Grant Us This Sincerity and Servitude..Aameen]

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

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [rahimahullaah] said:The sincere person tastes the sweetness of servitude to Allaah which prevents him from servitude to other than Allaah; for there is nothing sweeter and more comforting to the heart than the sweetness [found] in belief in Allaah–The Lord of the Aalameen.

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

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan.

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!”

Reflect!

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan.

By the night as it envelops;

And by the day as it appears in brightness;

And by Him Who created male and female;

Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);

As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,

And believes in Al-Husna.

We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).

 But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.

And gives the lie to Al-Husna (see Verse No: 6 footnote);

We will make smooth for him the path for evil

And what will his wealth benefit him when he goes down (in destruction).

Truly! Ours it is (to give) guidance,

And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).

Therefore I have warned you of a Fire blazing fiercely (Hell);

None shall enter it save the most wretched,

Who denies and turns away.

And Al-Muttaqun (the pious and righteous – see V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).

He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,

And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High;

He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise).

Reflection

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan.

And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden, and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. You (O Muhammad ) can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen, and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat). And he who purifies himself (from all kinds of sins), then he purifies only for the benefit of his ownself. And to Allah is the (final) Return (of all).

 

Reflection

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan.

Have they not travelled in the land, and seen what was the end of those before them, and they were superior to them in power? Allah is not such that anything in the heavens or in the earth escapes Him. Verily, He is All-Knowing, All-Omnipotent.  And if Allah were to punish men for that which they earned, He would not leave a moving (living) creature on the surface of the earth, but He gives them respite to an appointed term, and when their term comes, then verily, Allah is Ever All-Seer of His slaves. [Soorah Faatir’ Aayaat 44-45]

 

Reflection

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Monotheism - Tawheed, Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan.

And the two seas (kinds of water) are not alike, this fresh sweet, and pleasant to drink, and that saltish and bitter. And from them both you eat fresh tender meat (fish), and derive the ornaments that you wear. And you see the ships cleaving (the sea-water as they sail through it), that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may give thanks.

He merges the night into the day (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the night are added to the hours of the day), and He merges the day into the night (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the day are added to the hours of the night). And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each runs its course for a term appointed. Such is Allah your Lord; His is the kingdom. And those, whom you invoke or call upon instead of Him, own not even a Qitmir (the thin membrane over the date-stone).

If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad) like Him Who is the All-Knower (of each and everything).

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

Abaan ibn ‘Uthmaan [radiyallaahu-anhu] said: I heard Uthmaan -meaning, Ibn Affaan, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] saying: “Whoever says:

[بِسْم الله الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اِسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّماَءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ – In the Name of Allaah with Whose Name nothing can harm on the earth or in the heaven, and He is The All-Hearing, All-Knowing], three times, will not be afflicted with a sudden affliction until morning; and whoever says it three times in the morning, will not be afflicted with a sudden affliction until evening.
