🌙 The 7 Covenants of Allaah تعالى
بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد
Allaah تعالى has made 7 promises in return for 5 actions and they are:
1️⃣ Gratitude: Increase (in blessings) in return for being grateful (al-Shukr):
{لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ}
{If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favors and blessings]}
📚[Surah Ibraaheem (14):7]
2️⃣ Remembrance: His praise for His slaves in return for the slaves making a mention their Lord:
{فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ}
{Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you}
📚[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 152]
3️⃣ Supplication: Confirmed acceptance of the Du`aa when they call Him:
{ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ}
{Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer)}
📚[Surah Ghaafir (40):60]
5️⃣ Repentance: Will not punish them as long as the slaves are engaged in doing Istighfaar:
{وَمَا كَانَ اللَّـهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ}
{Nor will He punish them while they seek (Allaah’s) Forgiveness.}
📚[Surah al-Anfaal (8): 33]
5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣ Worship:
- Provide them authority on earth,
- and confirmed sustenance
- and continuous safety in return for worshiping Him alone:
{وَعَدَ اللَّـهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَىٰ لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا ۚ يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا ۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ}
{Allaah 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 practice 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 Allaah).}
📚[Surah al-Noor (24): 55]
🌙 A quick word regarding morning and evening Adhkaar:
بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول، وبعد
👉 Be diligent in your morning and evening Adhkaar (Remembrance of Allaah). For in this, there is:
1️⃣ Protection of your Imaan. Faith increases with obedience to Allaah and decreases with sins, and the remembrance of Allaah helps you to boost your Imaan.
2️⃣ Protection of your Heart. When a person commits evil, a black spot covers the heart, and more sins he commits, the spot increases in size till it covers the whole heart. When this happens, a person then stops caring for the right or wrong, Halaal or Haraam, legal or illegal, he does what he wants even if it is immoral. So, a person needs to clean this heart through repentance and seeking forgiveness. The more a person would do the Adhkaar, the more his heart will shine. Moreover, an agitated heart finds peace and tranquility in the remembrance of Allaah.
3️⃣ Protection of your self, family, and wealth.
🌴🌴🌴
✅️ Do the morning and evening Adhkaar diligently so that you seek Allaah’s protection to safeguard your Imaan (Faith)and your heart. These are the two most important reasons for you to do the morning and evening Adhkaar. This is to protect ourselves from Kufr (disbelief), Shirk (paganism), Riddah (apostasy), and other sins. This is because in an authentic Hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ had said: ❝A time is coming when a man would be a Believer in the morning and (become) an unbeliever by the (time) evening (arrives), or he would be a Believer in the evening and (become) an unbeliever by (the time) morning arrives. He would sell his faith for worldly goods.❞
🌴🌴🌴
🚫 But in this materialistic world, what most people do is, they compare and weigh their acts of `Ibaadah (acts of worship) with the materialistic gains and losses.
🚫 What we gain or lose is all secondary.
✅️ Our acts of worship, obedience, and morning and evening Adhkaar should be for seeking the pleasure of Allaah.
🚫 Even after the Adhkaar, if a person gets into a car accident or something happens to him, then one should remember that what he faced could have been more severe.
✅️ The Adhkaar either protects a person completely or reduces the impact of the harm to him. It all comes to the person’s humility, attentiveness and care while doing the Adhkaar.
✅️ A person should not lose hope with such upsets in life.
🚫 We do not do the Adhkaar to test Allaah . It is Allaah who tests our Faith in Him and His Words. Allaah informed us that He will test us and we will face problems in life.
✅️ But no matter what happens, if our Imaan is safe and strong, and our heart is pure, clean, and humble, then we have lost nothing in comparison to what we will be gaining in the Hereafter.
💢💢💢
CONCLUSION:
⚡️Seek Allaah pleasure and protection through these Adhkaar, and what Allaah has promised will be given to you.
⚡️With these Adhkaar, seek means to strengthen your Imaan.
⚡️Materialistic gains and losses are not the measuring sticks or the weighing scales to judge Allaah’s Words.
💠 Leading Through Examples:
In the Qur’aan we come across many Aayaat that are arranged in such a way that we, a lot of times, fail to understand the wisdom behind their arrangement. At first glance, we would not be able to make any connections between these different Aayaat and their arrangements, but upon pondering over them again and again, one can appreciate the Wisdom of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى.
⚡️ A few examples of such pairing of Aayaat are as follows:aa paired with Aayaat on Fasting
1. Aayaat on Patience paired with Aayah of al-Safa & al-Marwah
2. Aayaah of Du
3. Aayah on Tawakkal paired with Surah Yusuf
It is like when Allaah تعالى instructed His Prophet ﷺ and the Believers to be patient, He تعالى gave an example in Patience. And when He تعالى instructed His Prophet ﷺ and the Believers to trust Him in all our affairs, He تعالى gave an example in Trust.
🌴🌴🌴
1️⃣ Pairing of Aayaat on Patience with Aayah of al-Safa & al-Marwah:
Right after the Aayaat on al-Sabr, Allaah تعالى mentioned about al-Safa and al-Marwah. Allaah تعالى said:
﴿وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ﴾ إلى قوله تعالى ﴿إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ﴾
{And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits} till His saying: {Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allaah}
📚[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 155-158]
The pairing between these Aayaat is really wonderful. This Aayah is mentioned right after the Aayaat on al-Sabr, as if Allaah تعالى is reminding us about the people who were tried severely, i.e., the Khaleel of Allaah, Ibraaheem عليه السلام and his family. He عليه السلام left his family in the middle of the desert, complying with the instructions of his Lord, and was patient. And Umm Ismaa’eel ran between the two mountains, between al-Safa and al-Marwah, seeking water for her son.
“The connection of this Aayah with those before it is from many perspectives… one of them being: When Allaah تعالى said: {And We will surely test you with something of fear…} till His saying: {but give good tidings to those who are patient}, and He تعالى said: {Indeed, al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allaah}, the reason why Allaah تعالى arranged it that way (and Allaah knows best) is because going between al-Safa and al-Marwah are from the legacy of Haajar and Ismaaeel, and the ordeal that befell them. And from this they concluded that whoever is patient when faced with adversities, will reach greater levels and higher stations (in Jannah).”aa with Aayaat on Fasting:
📚[Mafaateeh al-Ghaib (4/135), Tafseer al-Muharrar (1/439)]
🌴🌴🌴
2️⃣ Pairing of Aayaah of Du
Allaah تعالى said:
﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ﴾ إلى قوله تعالى ﴿وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ﴾ وقوله تعالى ﴿ أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَىٰ نِسَائِكُمْ﴾
{O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the Fasting) is prescribed for you} till His saying: {And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad ﷺ) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me} till His saying: {It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the night of As-Saum (the fasts).}
📚[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 183-187]
While commenting on Aayah # 186 (on Duaa), Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
“From the benefits of this Aayah is that (the state of) Fasting is the most likely time for the acceptance of the Duaa, because Allaah تعالى mentioned this Aayah in between the Aayaat on Fasting, He تعالى especially mentioned it near the end of the Aayah on Fasting.aa near the last part of the day in which he is Fasting – meaning near the time of breaking the Fast.
Some people of knowledge have said that there is another benefit that one learn from this Aayah: i.e., a person should make the Du
📚[Tafseer of Ibn al-`Uthaymeen on Surahal-Baqarah]

💠 The Supplications That Are Quickly Answered
🔊 Sh. Muhammad Al-Malki
🌟Importance of learning the correct Aqeedah🌟
🚫 Any non-Muslim who reverts to Islaam but does not learn the correct Aqeedah but rather gets influenced by Sufism (grave worship, saint worship etc.) is like a person who was taken out of the frying pan only to be thrown into the fire.
The purpose of Islaam is to liberate man from the worship of the creation and guide him towards the worship of the Creator. If this purpose is lost then it doesn't matter which religion he follows.
A non-Muslim understood his ignorance and accepted the truth. But if he is guided towards misguidance, and he accepts it as truth, then this is clear doom.
As the Salaf used to say that Bidah is more beloved to Shaitaan than sinning because a sinner may repent but not the one who sees Bidah as Sunnah.
The religion of the Sufees and the Rafidhah is to worship human beings. Their loyalty and love for the creation is more than their love for the Creator. For them, the creation is more powerful and quicker to respond than the Creator. They are the callers to gates of Hellfire.
💠 The Greatest Sustenance Most People Are Ignorant About
🔊 Shailh Saaleh al-`Usaymee
🎓 Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr said: al-Qurtobee said: “It is said that the meaning of: {as the slave thinks of Me}, meaning: thinking (positively) that his supplication will be responded when he supplicates, thinking (positively) that his repentance will be accepted when he repents, thinking (positively) that he will be forgiven when seeks forgiveness, and thinking (positively) that he would be rewarded when he does good deeds while fulfilling the conditions and believing that Allaah’s promise is true. This is supported by another Hadeeth that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Call upon Allaah while being certain of being answered.❞ [21] This is why a person must strive to fulfill the obligations while being certain that Allaah تعالى will accept them from him and forgive him, because Allaah has promised it for His slaves, and He تعالى never breaks His promise. If he believes or thinks that Allaah will not accept it from him, and his good deeds will not benefit him, then this is despairing of Allaah’s Mercy, and this is from the Major sins.” [22]

🎓 Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen said:
And the saying of Allaah تعالى: {and if he draws nearer to Me by a hand span, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he draws nearer to me by one cubit, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running}, in these three statements, there is a description of Allaah’s kindness and generosity, that He تعالى gives more in return to what has been done for His sake. He تعالى rewards the slave with more than what the slave has worked for. As Allaah تعالى mentioned in the Qur’aan:
﴿مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّائَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ﴾
{The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allaah is the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allaah gives manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower}
These three statements point to this great meaning that what Allaah bestows on His slave as a reward is more than what the slave has worked for.

(4) Explanation Of Hisn Al-Muslim: *Dhikr, Its Meaning & Types*
https://ilm4all.blogspot.com/2023/12/explanation-of-hisn-al-muslim-dhikr-its.html?m=1
💠 Ruling On: Giving Away The Leftover Food From Which People Have Already Eaten
🔊 Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan
⚡️ The Majaalis al-Dhikr Should Be For Allaah Alone:
Allaah تعالى says:
وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا
{And the Masaajid are for (worshiping) Allaah (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allaah}
📚 [Surah Jinn (72):18]
✅️ Places of worship, gatherings for Dhirk, study circles, should be for Allaah’s remembrance, and for learning about Islaam, Tawheed, Sunnah, and all that which benefits one in the Hereafter. And they should be for warning against Shirk, Bidah, and all that which leads to harm, in this world and the Hereafter.roof (i.e., Tawheed and all that Islaam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e., Shirk, Kufr, and all that Islaam has forbidden); they perform al-Salaah and give the Zakaah, and obey Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.}
As Allaah تعالى says:
وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
{The Believers, men and women, are Auliyaa' (helpers, supporters, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma
📚 [Surah al-Tawbah (9):71]
💢💢💢
🚫 But when one looks at the gatherings of the Shia and the Soofees, he will not hear praises for Allaah in their gatherings, he will not learn about Tawheed or Sunnah. Almost all the time, one will see them drenching in praises of their saints and their dead: "The saint did this, and the saint did that." Exaggerating the incidents, fabricating the stories, diverting people from the Truth. Very little do they mention Allaah.a call towards Shirk and Bid
They are like the people about whom Allaah تعالى said:
وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
{And when Allaah Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter are filled with disgust (from the Oneness of Allaah), and when those (whom they obey or worship) besides Him are mentioned, behold, they rejoice!}
📚 [Surah al-Zumr (39): 45]
📑 They have made these saints and the graves of the dead as false deities and gods other than Allaah. Like how the Hindus have taken the Jinns and idols as their gods, and like how the Christians and the Jews have made their saints, priests, monks, etc. as their gods and saviors.
🚫 Rather, the Soofees and the Shiah, and turn people away from Tawheed and Sunnah, as Allaah تعالى says:roof (i.e., Tawheed and all that Islaam orders one to do), and they close their hands [from giving (spending in Allaah's Cause) alms, etc.]. They have forgotten Allaah, so He has forgotten them. Verily, the hypocrites are the Fasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah).}
الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّن بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ ۚ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ
{The hypocrites, men and women, are from one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Munkar (i.e., disbelief and polytheism of all kinds and all that Islaam has forbidden), and forbid (people) from Al-Ma
📚 [Surah al-Tawbah (9):67]
🚫 And when you sit in the gatherings of the Khawaarij, you will find them having the most mesmerizing of voices, able to easily influence the people, but all you will hear from them is talks about politics, talking bad about the rulers, inciting people to revolt and disoboey. They misinterpret the Texts from the Qur’aan and Sunnah. They call people towards chaos, destruction, and all that which leads to bloodshed, loss of lives, honor, and wealth.

📚 HISTORY OF SHIRK
💠 Adam عليه السلام
Originally, the children of Aadam were upon Tawheed.
{Mankind were but one community (i.e. on one religion), then they differed (later)}
📚 [Surah Yunus (10): 19]
Allaah عز وجل tells us that Shirk was new among mankind. It was not in existence in the beginning. He tells us that people were believers in one religion and that religion was Islaam. Ibn Abbaas said: “There were ten centuries between Aadam and Nooh. They were all on Islaam. Then, differences among people took place. They worshiped idols and rivals. So, Allaah sent extensive evidence and irrefutable proof with His Messengers.” raaf (7): 148]
📚[Tafseer Ibn Katheer]
🌴🌴🌴
💠 Nooh عليه السلام
It was among the people of Nooh that the first time Shirk appeared on earth, when they exaggerated and exceeded the limits in their praises of the pious people.
📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (4920)]
🌴🌴🌴
💠 Moosaa عليه السلام
Shirk in the people of Moosaa appeared when they worshiped the calf.
{And the people of Moosaa made in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of a calf (for worship).}

• It is a sign of Imaan (Faith) that a person fights against Bidaat and that which corrupts the Deen.Abdullaah Ibn Mas
• Do not be baffled by the large number of people doing innovations in the Deen.
👉It is narrated on the authority ood that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:Uthaymeen رحمه الله commented:
۞ 1) ❝There was never a Prophet sent before me by Allaah to his people but he had, among his people, (his) disciples and companions, who followed his ways and obeyed his command.
۞ 2) Then there came after them their successors who said whatever they did not practice, and practiced whatever they were not commanded to do.
۞ 3) He who strove against them with his hand was a believer: he who strove against them with his tongue was a believer, and he who strove against them with his heart was a believer and beyond that there is no faith even to the extent of a mustard seed.❞
📚[Saheeh Muslim (81, 82)]
🎓Shaikh Ibn al-
Some of the benefits from this Hadeeth are as follows:
۞ 1) Every Prophet which was sent to his people, before the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, had from his people who were his disciples and companions, who would follow the Sunnah of that Prophet and implement his command.
۞ 2) And every time the era of Prophethood (the Prophet and his disciples) passed away, Bidah (religious innovations) emerged, and sins increased, as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Then there came after them their successors who said whatever they did not practice, and practiced whatever they were not commanded to do.❞aat and corruption with his hands or his tongue or his heart.
۞ 3) It is a sign of faith that a person strives against these Bid
۞ 4) And from this Hadeeth we also learn that Imaan increases and decreases, till it reaches the size of a mustard seed. A mustard seed is really small and it is used as an example to describe the smallness of a thing.
📚[Sharh Saheeh Muslim (1/164-165)]
Praising Allaah after having food:
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝Whoever eats food and then says:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ
(Al-ḥamdulillaah, alladhee aṭ`amanee haadha wa razaqaneehi min ghairi ḥawlin minnee, wa laa quwwah)
“All praise is to Allaah who has fed me this and granted it as provision to me, without any effort from me nor power (on my part)”, his past sins shall be forgiven.❞
📚[Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan al-Tirmidhee, Sunan Ibn Maajah, graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
Allaah تعالى says:
(كَلاَّ بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ )
{Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering) which they used to earn} [Surah al-Mutaffifeen (83): 14]
*1
From Abu Umaamah bin Tha’labah رضي الله عنه who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم say: “Whoever seizes the wealth of Muslim man with a false oath, then a black spot is placed in his heart, nothing will change it until the Day of Judgment.”

`Abdullaah ibn Unays al-Juhanee رضي الله عنه reported that Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “From the gravest of the major sins are to ascribe partner to Allaah; to displease parents; and take a false oath; and, if anyone swears an oath on Allaah, a firm oath introducing therein so much lie as a gnat’s wing then a spot is put in his heart till the Day of Resurrection.”

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Verily, when the servant commits a sin, a black spot appears in his heart. If he repents from it, his heart is polished clean. However, if he increases (in the sin), the spot will continue to increase. That is the statement of Allaah: {Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering) which they used to earn}” [Surah al-Mutaffifeen (83): 14]

The Worst Part About Betrayal Is...
...It Never Comes From An Enemy
⚡️Three guidelines to follow when it comes to personalities:
1️⃣. Do not rush to praise someone:
Imaam al-Bukhaaree رحمه الله reported that `Aaishah رضي الله عنها said: “Whenever you appreciate the good deed of a person, you should say:
اعْمَلُوا فَسَيَرَى اللَّـهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ
{...Do deeds! Allaah will see your deeds, and (so will) His Messenger and the believers...} [Surah al-Tawbah (9):105] and you should not hasten to praise anyone (for doing what seems to be a good deed).”
📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (9/154)]
2️⃣. What is apparent is not always the reality:
3️⃣. The person might be a source of benefit for thousands of others but not for himself:
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: We were in the company of Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم in a Ghazwa, and he remarked about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, saying: “This (man) is from the people of the (Hell) Fire.” When the battle started, the man fought violently till he got wounded. Somebody said: O Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم! The man whom you described as being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought bravely today and died. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “He will go to the (Hell) Fire.” Some people were on the point of doubting (the truth of what the Prophet had said). While they were in this state, suddenly someone said that he was still alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost patience and committed suicide (in one narration it is: he put his hand into his quiver and took out some arrows, with which he killed himself). The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was informed of that, and he said: “Allaah is the Greatest! I testify that I am Allaah’s Slave and His Apostle.” Then he ordered Bilal to announce amongst the people: “NONE WILL ENTER PARADISE BUT A MUSLIM, AND ALLAAH MAY SUPPORT THIS RELIGION (i.e. Islaam) EVEN WITH A WICKED (disobedient) MAN.”
📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (3062, 4203, 6606) and Saheeh Muslim (205)]
💠 Explanation of the Hadeeth: Being prevented from the worldly possessions
🔗 https://ilm4all.blogspot.com/2022/05/explanation-of-hadeeth-being-prevented.html
📑 QUOTE: *From this Hadeeth, one also learns that when Allaah تعالى prevents a thing from His righteous slaves, it is not because He is angry at them, or displeased with them, rather, it is because He تعالى loves them and is preventing from them that which is harmful to them in the worldly matter or regards to their Hereafter.*
🔥 FALSE PERCEPTIONS
#2 WE ARE HELPING THE POOR:
Always remember that supporting the weak and the needy is a major factor in increasing sustenance, as the Prophet ﷺ had said:
هل تنصرون وترزقون إلا بضعفائكم
❝You gain no victory or livelihood except through (the blessings and invocations of) the poor amongst you.❞
📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (2896)]
We always think we are doing favors to the poor and the needy by providing for them or spending on them. So, the Prophet ﷺ mentioned their favors upon us, and that Allaah تعالى aids us and supports us because of their supplication. So, what you are receiving through the poor is more than what you are giving them.
If the affluents think that they are helping the poor with their money and status, then the poor are helping them with their supplication and humility to Allaah عز وجل. There might be some arrogance in the manners of those who are affluent, but as for the poor, their worship supplication is more humble and most sincere, and their conscience is pure.
After reading this statement of the Prophet ﷺ, we should be humble, and our hearts should be free from pride and arrogance, so that we do not look down on other Muslims.

In another narration, the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ also said:
ابْغُونِي الضُّعَفَاءَ فَإِنَّمَا تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ
❝Bring me the weak, for you only receive provision and Divine support by virtue of your weak ones.❞
📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood (2594) and Sunan al-Nasaa’ee (3179) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
We sometimes glance at a person and judge him by his outer appearance. For us, he might be someone weak and needy and we avoid his company, but with Allaah عز وجل, he might be enjoying a higher status than you and me. As the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝The poor will enter Jannah five hundred years before the rich.❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2353) and Sunan Ibn Maajah (4122) and graded as “Hasan-Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
In this Hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Bring❞, meaning: "call them for me", "bring them closer to me".
❝The weak❞, meaning: the poor, and those whom the people do not care about because of their shabby condition and appearance.
The Prophet ﷺ requested for them so that he could get close to them, check on their condition, preserve their rights, and be kind to them in word and deed. And through them, Allaah عز وجل provides for us our sustenance and supports us against those who oppose us.
Indeed, these Ahaadeeth explain the virtue of the weak among the Muslims, and teaches us to be kind to them. Also, in this, there is a warning against being arrogant toward the poor and the weak.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِي النَّاسِ فِتْنَةً فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ
O Allaah! I beseech You (to help me) to do good deeds, abandon evil deeds, and love the poor. And when you have willed Fitnah for your slave, then take me to You, without making me suffer from Fitnah (i.e., without being led astray)
🔥 FALSE PERCEPTIONS
#1 GIVING IN CHARITY DECREASES WEALTH:
Shaitaan scares his followers by threatening them that if they give to charity their wealth will decrease. He makes them behave niggardly, “Why should others enjoy my hard-earned money?” As Allaah تعالى said:
الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًا ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
{Shaitaan threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (immorality, fornication), while Allaah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allaah is all-Encompassing and all-Knowing.}
📚[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 268]
Shaitaan threatens them with poverty and encourages them to commit sins. Whereas, Allaah promises you forgiveness, instead of the evil that Shaitan enjoins upon you. And Allaah promises you bounty, as opposed to the poverty that Shaitan frightens them with.
Do you not see the Kuffaar, how stingily they hold on to their wealth? They only spend on themselves and their families. But when they do give to charity, you would see their joy, you would see their reaction as if they have done a great deal of good, and they do not fail to publicize their action. They give less and exaggerate more. In opposition to them, the Muslims are encouraged to give according to their means – but the more, the better – and to conceal their actions.
Allaah تعالى mentioned many times in the Qur’aan, that for those who give to charity, Allaah will multiply it for them. Not only will their wealth increase, but it will have Barakah (blessing) in it.
مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَقْبِضُ وَيَبْسُطُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
{Who is he that will lend to Allaah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allaah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return}
📚[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 245]
And He تعالى also said:
وَمَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
{And whatever you spend (in charity) He will replace it, and He is the Best of providers}
📚[Surah Saba (34): 39]
قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
{Say: “In the Bounty of Allaah, and in His Mercy – in that let them rejoice.” That is better than what (the wealth) they amass.}
📚[Surah Yunus (10): 58]
And the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Wealth does not diminish by giving Sadaqah (charity).❞
📚[Saheeh Muslim]
So, do not fear Shaitaan’s threats, but believe in Allaah’s promise and be certain that Allaah never breaks His promise.

🔊 Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen

The poor are not trash cans where you can dump things you no longer require.
لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ
{Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allaah] from that which you love.}
📚[Surah aal-`Imraan (3):92]
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَن تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ
{O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allaah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.}
📚[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 267]
The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Allaah is Tayyib (Good) and accepts only that which is tayyib (good).❞
📚[Saheeh Muslim]
...cont
They are the people about whom the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝In the last days (of the world), there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. They will give good talks, but they will go out of Islaam as an arrow goes out of its game, and their faith will not exceed their throats. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection.❞
📚 [Saheehain]
The Prophet ﷺ also said: ❝There would arise people who would recite the Qur’aan, but it would not go beyond their throat; they would kill the Believers and would spare the idol-worshipers. They will renegade from Islaam just like the arrow that passes through the prey. If I were to ever find them, I would kill them like (how) Aad (were killed).❞ah and misguidance is like that of a person who went to the doctor for some cure. But instead of diagnosing the illness and treating the patient, the doctor starts talking about his merits and achievements, and he talks about his other patients. At the end, the patient wasted his time, did not get cured, nor did he benefit from the visit to the doctor.
📚 [Saheehain]

👉 Conclusion:
The example of attending the gatherings of the people of Bid
A servant could be afflicted with poverty, sickness and other sorts of calamities to test his gratitude and patience...but perhaps the most severest of trials is through richness and abundance of wealth.
Allaah تعالى says:
وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً ۖ وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
{and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good, and to Us you will be returned}
📚 [Surah al-Anbiyaa (21): 35]
And the Prophet ﷺ said:
"By Allaah, it is not poverty that I fear for you, but I fear that the worldly wealth (i.e. life of luxury) will be bestowed upon you as it was bestowed upon those before you; and you will compete with one another over it as they competed over it; and eventually it will destroy you as it destroyed them."
