Beneficial reminders and Islaamic Knowledge from the admin of ilm4all.blogspot.com
🔥What are you so arrogant about?!
Allaah says:
وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ الْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُولًا ﴿٣٧﴾ كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهًا ﴿٣٨﴾
{And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither tear the earth (apart), nor can you reach the mountains in height. All the bad aspects of these (the above mentioned things) are hateful to your Lord.}
📚[Surah al-Israa (17): 37-38]
And Luqmaan عليه السلام taught his son, saying:
وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ ﴿١٨﴾ وَاقْصِدْ فِي مَشْيِكَ وَاغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَ ۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ الْأَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِيرِ ﴿١٩﴾
{And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not each arrogant boaster. And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the donkey}
📚[Suah Luqmaan (31): 18-19]
👉It is not only the body that gets ill...
👉But many people are suffering from ill-manners.
👉So, if you see someone having bad manners...
👉Then pray to Allaah for his well-being,
👉And thank Allaah that He has kept you protected...
👉From that which has afflicted him.
👉For we are created from a Nutfah (male and female sexual discharge),
👉And our origin is from Teen (clay),
👉And our finest clothing comes from a worm,
👉And the most delicious of our food comes from a bee,
👉And soon we will be laid to rest under the earth.
Karma or Qadr❓️
https://ilm4all.blogspot.com/2024/06/karma-or-qadr.html?m=1
وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّـهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيرًا
{And if Allaah 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, Allaah is Ever AllSeer of His slaves.}
📚 [Surah Faatir (35): 45]
فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ
{He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills}
📚 [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 284]
🌴🌴🌴
🚫 Moreover, the concept of Karma is incomplete and cannot explain the fact that many people in the past had committed mass murders and major crimes and have gone away with it without facing any retribution, as there is no concept of the punishment in the Hereafter in Buddhism.
🚫 Another thing, Karma does not explain the fact that Allaah gives enormous wealth and worldly glitters as a form of punishment:
فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ
{So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened to them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows.}
📚 [Surah al-An`aam (6): 44]
💢 💢 💢
📑 Conclusion:
The word Karma is alien to Islaam, and it has a specific meaning in another religion, which is against the beliefs of Islaam and Muslims. There are many atheist, as well as many ignorant Muslims, who do not make the connection between The Creator and the nature. For them, nature by itself is everything. For many, the principle of cause and effect (Karma) is the only religion because they do not believe in the hereafter and life after death.
So its usage should be completely avoided by the Muslims, and furthermore, it is advisable to be specific and clear that all these things happen by the Will of Allaah and not by itself.
Importance Of `Ibaadah During The Times Of Fitan
https://youtu.be/f1ncoVnrZpE?si=80irNl_MBJNfXQqs
💠 The Activities After Hajj
https://youtu.be/NoSHUL88hVU
Clarification: The translation of the Shahaadah as “there is no god but God” or “there is no god but Allaah” is an incomplete translation. This is because at the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the Mushriks DID believe in the existence of Allaah and that He تعالى alone provides for them and removed their difficulties etc. But when it came to worshiping Allaah alone, they refused.
Allaah تعالى says:
{Say (O Muhammad [صلى الله عليه وسلم] to the Mushriks): “Who provides for you from the sky and the earth? Or who owns hearing and sight? And who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living? And who disposes the affairs?” They (the Mushriks) will say: “Allaah.” Say: “Will you not then be afraid of Allaah’s punishment (for setting up rivals in worship with Allaah)?”} [Surah Yunus (10):31]
They understood the meaning of Laa ilaaha illaallaah, but they refused to distance themselves from their false gods, as Allaah تعالى says:
{Truly, when it was said to them: “Laa ilaaha illaallaah (none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah),” they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it). And (they) said: “Are we going to abandon our aalihah (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?”} [Surah al-Saaffaat (37): 35-36]
So the correct meaning of the First Pillar of Islaam is: Bearing witness that:
لا إله إلّا الله محمد رسول الله
Laa ilaaha illallaah Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allaah
There is no one worthy of being worshiped except Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah.
What it implies: It is the firm belief (of the heart) and the articulation by the tongue of this Shahaadah and all that it includes - from its obligations, connotations and conditions.
Benefits: Liberation of the heart and soul from the servitude (worship) of the creation and obedience to other than the Messengers; and leading them towards the worship of Allaah alone and obedience to the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Shaikh al-Islaam, Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
"Ignorance and oppression: these two are the foundation for every type of evil as Allaah تعالى said:
وحملها الإنسان إنه كان ظلوماً جهولاً
{But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant.} [Surah al-Ahzaab (33): 72]"
قال ابن تيمية - رحمه الله - :
والجهل والظلم:هما أصل كل شر كما قال سبحانه "وحملها الإنسان إنه كان ظلوماً جهولاً".

💠 The Deeds Most Beloved To Allaah In These Ten Days:
The Prophet ﷺ said: “There are no days in which good deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these days.” (Meaning the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah). They (the Companions) asked: “Not even Jihad?” He ﷺ replied: “Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allaah's sake) and does not return with any of those things.”
[Sunan Abu Dawood (2348), Sunan al-Tirmidhee (757), Sunan Ibn Maajah (1727), and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. Imaam al-Bukhaaree also reported in his Saheeh (969) with a slight different wording]
🔊 A summarized explanation from Shaikh Muhammad al-Malki’s lecture:
⚡1. The reward for the good deeds done in these ten days, even if they are a few, with Allaah are greater in reward, even greater than Jihaad in the cause of Allaah. This is because a person strives against himself in doing more good deeds in these ten days.
⚡2. What is the best good deeds that a person can do in these ten days?
⚡3. When good deeds are mentioned, people incline towards doing actions – which in today’s terminology are known as: “positive things”, like Fasting, doing a lot of Dhikr (Allaah’s remembrance), giving charity. All these are good deeds without a doubt. But there is an action greater than all these, that Allaah has mentioned in His Book, when He mentioned the four Sacred Months.
⚡4. Allaah تعالى mentioned, as a Command towards His slaves during these Sacred Months:
{فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ}
{So, do not wrong yourselves therein} [Surah al-Tawbah (9): 36]
⚡5. How can a person wrong himself?
🔥a) Shirk:
i) By committing Shirk a person does the biggest injustice against himself, as Allaah تعالى mentioned in the advice of Luqmaan to his son:
{وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ}
{And (remember) when Luqmaan said to his son when he was advising him: “O my son! Join not in worship others with Allaah. Verily! Joining others in worship with Allaah is a great Dhulm (wrong) indeed.} [Surah Luqmaan (31):13]
ii) Even during these Sacred Days, we see and hear about people committing actions which are clearly Shirk.
iii) Some swearing by other than Allaah, some swearing in the name of their fathers, or sons, or by their lives etc.
iv) While some wear metal bangles in their arms as a protection against chronic pain, electromagnetic pulse etc.
v) Some knock on wood when they fear the evil eye.
vi) So, a person should leave off all that which will cause Allaah’s wrath to descend upon him.
🔥b) Bidah: ah will prevent a person from drinking from the cistern (Haudh) of the Prophet ﷺ on the Day of Judgment.
i) This is another form of injustice which a person commits against himself.
ii) Shirk, which is the greatest injustice, will prevent a person from entering the Jannah, whereas Bid
iii) The Prophet ﷺ said: “Some people will be driven away from my cistern, and I will say: “They are from my Ummah!” It will be said: “You do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you left”. I will say: “Far removed, far removed (from mercy), those who changed (their religion) after me.”” [Saheehain]
iv) Bidah is a gateway to Shirk, this is why there are two punishments assigned to it. A punishment which will be hastened for him in this world, and a punishment which will be hastened for him in the Hereafter.ah till he abandons it. The Bid
v) From the punishment in the world: Allaah will not accept the repentance of the one who commits a Bidah acts as a barrier that prevents his Tawbah from being accepted.ah.
vi) A person should abandon all forms of Shirk and Bid
🔥c) Sins:
i) Do not commit injustice against yourselves by being disobedient to Allaah and by committing sins.
ii) Many people have fallen into this. They might pray, but once the prayer is over, they go back to committing sins.
⚡️For The People Of Understanding:
🔥 The solution for this Ummah is not in changing the rulers or governments or regimes:
With the recent conclusion of elections in India where the vast majority of the Muslims turned up for voting against the current anti-Muslim, fascist government. And in the coming months there will be elections in the US, and all eyes are on them. It doesn't matter whether be it the US or Europe, whoever wins the elections, their policies have always been harmful to the Mulsims.
We have seen an example in the recent past. We have an example in Barak Obama, the former president o the United States of America. This was the guy who many thought would be better than his predecessor. He received the Noble Peace Prize in the very first year of his being elected, but then he went on to have more drone attacks and killed more innocent civilians than his predecessors. He wanted to eradicate the terrorists and terrorism from the world, but could not do anything about gun control and violence in his own country. He himself being a black could not do much to remove the racial hatred towards the blacks and other races in his own country. The guy whose party slogan was “Yes we can” (bring about the changes), but what happened? The only change we saw was only towards the worse as the Prophet ﷺ said:
❝No time will come upon you but the time following it will be worse than it.❞
When people went to Anas رضي الله عنه complaining about the wrong they were suffering at the hands of al-Hajjaaj, this when Anas رضي الله عنه narrated to them that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Be patient…❞ (and the rest of the Hadeeth is as mentioned above)
📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (7068)]
Change does not come by changing the rulers. Change comes when we change ourselves for the better, as Allaah تعالى said:
إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّـهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَالٍ
{Verily! Allaah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allaah). But when Allaah wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector}
📚[Surah al-Rad (13): 11]Alee Ibn Abee Taalib رضي الله عنه was asked: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen! What was the reason that people obeyed Abu Bakr and
What we learn here is:
۞ 1) The good state of the people will not change as long as they are righteous and pious.
۞ 2) When they turn towards the evil and disobedience, their state changes towards the worse and the blessings of Allaah is taken from them.
۞ 3) Our sins are our own worst enemies. As Allaah تعالى says:
ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
{Evil (corruption, choas, destruction) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc.), so He may let them taste part of (the consequence of) what they have done that perhaps they will return (to the obedience of Allaah and repent)}
📚 [Surah al-Room (30): 41]
۞ 4) We cannot expect the rulers to be pious while we are ourselves sinning.Umar, and the Dunya, even after its’ constringent became vast for them? Then you and Uthmaan were made the rulers, but the people did not obey both of you, and the Dunya, even after its vastness, became constringent for you? Alee رضي الله عنه replied: ❝This is because the subjects of Abu Bakr and Umar were the likes of me and `Uthmaan, whereas my subjects are the likes of you!❞
📚 [سراج الملوك (1/116)]
۞ 5) When Allaah decrees His punishment, then there is no turning it back.
Zainab bint Jahsh رضي الله عنها said to the Prophet ﷺ: "Shall we be destroyed though there are righteous people among us?" The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Yes, when evil increases.❞

🔥 Our greatest trial is in keeping the intention straight and in doing things sincerely for Allaah alone. Sometimes a person gets tried, where he does a righteous deed, not to please Allaah جل وعلى, but to seek praises from the people or to gain some worldly benefits.
Allaah تعالى mentioned in the Qur’aan:
{وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّـهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ}
{And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allaah, making your acts of worship sincerely for Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform al-Salaah (the prayers) and give Zakaah (obligatory charity), and that is the right religion.}
📚[Surah al-Bayyinah (98):5]
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Allaah said: {I am most independent and free from needing any associates. Whoever performs a deed while associating partners with me (doing so for others along with Me), I shall abandon him along with his setting up of associates to Me (shirk)}❞
📚[Saheeh Muslim (7114)]
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man said: Messenger of Allaah! A man wishes to take part in Jihaad in Allaah’s path desiring some worldly advantage? The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝He will have no reward.❞ The people thought it terrible, and they said to the man: Go back to the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ, for you might not have made him understand well. He, therefore, (went and again) asked: Messenger of Allaah, a man wishes to take part in Jihaad in Allaah’s path desiring some worldly advantage? He ﷺ replied: ❝There is no reward for him.❞ They again said to the man: Return to the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ. He, therefore went to him third time. He ﷺ replied: ❝There is no reward for him.❞
📚[Sunan Abu Dawood (2516) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. Shaikh Ahmad Shaakir graded it “Saheeh” in Musnad Ahmad (15/16)]
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝If anyone acquires knowledge of things - by which Allaah's good pleasure is sought - instead, he acquires it only to get some worldly advantage, he will not experience the `arf (the odor) of Paradise.❞
📚[Sunan Abu Dawood (3664), Ibn Maajah (252) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
Narrated Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ❝The first man (whose case) will be decided on the Day of Judgment, will be a man who died as a martyr. He shall be brought (before the Judgment Seat). Allaah will make him recount His blessings (i.e. the blessings which He had bestowed upon him) and he will recount them (and admit having enjoyed them in his life). (Then) will Allaah say: {What did you do (to requite these blessings)?} He will say: I fought for You until I died as a martyr. Allaah will say: {You have told a lie. You fought so that you might be called a "brave warrior". And you were called so.} (Then) orders will be passed against him and he will be dragged with his face downward and cast into Hell. Then there will be brought forward a man who acquired knowledge and imparted it (to others) and recited the Qur'aan. He will be brought, Allaah will make him recount His blessings and he will recount them (and admit having enjoyed them in his lifetime). Then will Allaah ask: {What did you do (to requite these blessings)?} He will say: I acquired knowledge and disseminated it and recited the Qur'aan, seeking Your pleasure. Allaah will say: {You have told a lie. You acquired knowledge so that you might be called "a scholar", and you recited the Qur'aan so that it might be said: "He is a Qaaree (reciter)" and and you were called so.} Then orders will be passed against him and he shall be dragged with his face downward and cast into the Fire. Then will be brought a man whom Allaah had made abundantly rich and had granted every kind of wealth. He will be brought, Allaah will make him recount His blessings and he will recount them and (admit having enjoyed them in his lifetime).
Paradise and its Bliss
Allaah تعالى said:
وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ كُلَّمَا رُزِقُوا مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَمَرَةٍ رِزْقًا قَالُوا هَذَا الَّذِي رُزِقْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَأُتُوا بِهِ مُتَشَابِهًا وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا أَزْوَاجٌ مُطَهَّرَةٌ وَهُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
{And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is what we were provided with before," and they will be given things in resemblance. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally}
[Surah al-Baqarah (2):25]
TAFSEER MUYASSAR (1/5):
O Messenger! Inform the people of Imaan (Faith) and righteous deeds about the news that will fill them with joy, that for them, in the Hereafter, are amazing gardens, rivers will flow underneath its high palaces and its shady trees. Every time Allaah تعالى provides for them from its delicious fruits, they would say: “Allaah had provided us with this type before.” But when they taste it, they would find it something new in taste and delight, even though it might resemble the one before it in color, shape, and name. And for them, in the Paradise, will be wives, purified from all kinds of observable impurities, like urine and menstruation, and moral impurities, like lying and bad manners. And they will abide in Paradise and its bliss forever, they will neither die nor will they be expelled from it.

TAFSEER IBN KATHEER:
Allaah تعالى said:
كُلَّمَا رُزِقُوا مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَمَرَةٍ رِزْقًا قَالُوا هَذَا الَّذِي رُزِقْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ
<Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is what we were provided with before”}
Ibn Abee Haatim reported that Yahya Ibn Abee Katheer said: “The grass of Paradise is made of saffron, its hills from musk and the boys of everlasting youth will serve the Believers with fruits which they will eat. They will then be brought similar fruits, and the people of Paradise will comment: “This is the same as what you have just brought us.” The boys will say to them: “Eat, for the color is the same, but the taste is different.” Hence Allaah’s statement:
وَأُتُوا بِهِ مُتَشَابِهًا
{and they will be given things in resemblance}.
Abu Jafar al-Raazee narrated that al-Rabee Ibn Anas said that Abu al-Aaliyah said that:Ikrimah said:
وَأُتُوا بِهِ مُتَشَابِهًا
{and they will be given things in resemblance} means: “They look like each other, but the taste is different.”
Also,
وَأُتُوا بِهِ مُتَشَابِهًا
{and they will be given things in resemblance} “They are similar to the fruits of this life, but the fruits of Paradise taste better.”
Sufyaan al-Thawree reported from al-Amash, from Abu Thubyan, that Ibn Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said: “Nothing in Paradise resembles anything in the life of this world, except in name.”
In another narration, Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said: “Only the names are similar between what is in this life and what is in Paradise.”

Shaikh ibn Baaz رحمه الله:
Anyone who reflects upon the Qur'aan seeking guidance, Allaah will honor them, give them insight and help them achieve their aim.

{And Musa said: "Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Firawn (Pharaoh) and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord! That they may lead men astray from Your Path. Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment." Allaah said: "Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted. So you both keep to the Straight Way (i.e., keep on doing good deeds and preaching Allaah’s Message with patience), and follow not the path of those who know not (the truth)." And We took the Children of Israa'eel across the sea, and Firawn (Pharaoh) with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that Laa ilaaha illaa (Huwa): (none has the right to be worshiped but) He," in Whom the Children of Israa'eel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allaah's Will)." Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were one of the Mufsidoon (evil-doers)}

Narrated Ibn Abbaas رضي الله عنهما that the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said: ❝When Allaah drowned Firawn, he (Firawn) said: "I believe that there is no one worthy of being worshiped except the One that the children of Isra'eel believe in." So Jibreel (عليه السلام) said: "O Muhammad! If you could only have seen me, while I was taking (the mud) from the sea, and filling his mouth out of fear that the mercy would reach him."❞bah:

🚫 Don't say: Karma
✔️ But say:
قدر الله وما شاء فعل
Qadr of Allaah, and He does what He intends.
💠PART 1:
⚡ It is not Karma,rather, it is the Qadr of Allaah that we Muslims believe in. Why would the Muslims be so interested in using the terminology which originated from Hinduism/Buddhism?
We have even seen a lot of Muslims using the word Karma due to their ignorance of its meaning and origin. The death of some “famous” Kaafir is always introducing something new to this Ummah. First, it was the “R.I.P.”, then the prayer for their forgiveness and entrance into Paradise, and now this!
Part of the belief in Karma is the concept of rebirth. If a person was good in his first life, he would be born again in a good family and have a prosperous life. But if he was evil or did bad, he would, in his rebirth, be having a miserable life or even be born as a dog or some other creature.
All this only proves how much we need to go back to learning the BASICS of our Deen.

💠 PART 2:
⚡ Karma VS. Kaffaarah
The second misunderstanding which the belief in “Karma” leads to is about Kaffaarah (atonement / expiation).
➡️ Kaffaarah is atonement, which is compensation for a wrong.
🌟 Examples:
(1) If a person breaks his oath, then as expiation he has to feed 10 poor people, or clothe them, or manumit a slave, or fast 3 days.
📚 [Surah al-Maaidah (5): 89]
(2) If a person speaks ill about someone, he has to repent to Allaah and speak well of him in the same or similar gatherings.
➡️ The difference between “Karma” and Kaffaarah is that in “Karma” a person believes that something bad will happen on its own which will be a retribution for the mistake, whereas Kaffaarah is an action which a person does willingly as expiation for his mistake(s).
🚫 SO “KARMA” IS NOT SAME AS QADR AND IT IS NOT SAME AS KAFFAARAH.
⏩ Which leaves to the third point, Iqaab (عقاب), which will be explained in the next post, In shaa Allaah.Iqaab (عقاب)
🌴🌴🌴
💠 PART 3:
⚡ Karma VS.
The third misunderstanding:
Karma in oppose to Jazaa’ (recompense) and `Iqaab (retribution / punishment)
Karma is a term derived from Buddhism who do not believe in Ilaah (إله God) and have no concept of the afterlife. They only believe in the concept of rebirth.
🚫 So this leads them to the belief in: “as you sow, so shall you reap”, either a person will be punished in this life or that if a person was good in his first life, he will be born again in a good family and have a prosperous life. But if he was evil or did bad, he would, in his rebirth, be having a miserable life or even be born as a dog or some other creature.
❌ So, from their false belief is:
🚫 1. Denying the existence of Ilaah (God).
🚫 2. Denying the concept of repentance and forgiveness.
🚫 3. That things happen by themselves.
🚫 4. Denying the concept of the Hereafter.
🚫 5. Believing in rebirth and reincarnation.
🚫 6. Believing that the world is ever existent without an end.
🚫 7. Everything a man does, he will be rewarded or punished in this life only.
✔️ On contrary to the Buddhists' belief, in Islaam, the Muslims believe in the following:
🌟 1. They believe in God (Allaah).
🌟 2. They believe in the concept of repentance, forgiveness, and mercy.
🌟 3. They believe that nothing happens except by Allaah’s Will.
🌟 4. They believe in the concept of the Hereafter.
🌟 5. They believe that the world will come to an end.
🌟 6. They believe that man may be rewarded or punished in this world or the Hereafter, or that Allaah تعالى will pardon whomever He تعالى Wills.
🌴🌴🌴
In Islaam we believe in the principle: “The reward is of the same type as the action” (الجزاء من جنس العمل), which might seem closer to the concept of “as you sow, so shall you reap”, but the concept of forgiveness in missing in Karma.
Allaah تعالى says:
وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ
{And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. AND HE PARDONS MUCH}
📚 [Surah al-Shooraa (42): 30]

💠 Selfies: The Destroyer Of Good Deeds
🔊 Shaikh Muhammad al-Malki
الْسَّلَاْمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ الْلَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
تَقَبَلَ اللهُ مِنَّا وّمِنْكُمْ
وَعِيْدُكُمْ مُبَارَكٌ
وَكُل ُّعَامٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِخَيْرٍ
مُحِبُّكُمْ / فَهَدْ نَوَابْ مُحَمَّدْ بَارْمَيْم

iii) Disobedience can be committed in two ways. One is by abandoning that which Allaah تعالى has commanded, and the other is by doing that which Allaah تعالى has prohibited. By doing so, a person commits injustice against oneself.
iv) As for sins, one should not regard them as insignificant, no matter how small they seem. Persistence upon minor sins will add up to make them heavy against the person on the Day of Judgment.
v) The Prophet ﷺ said: “Beware of evil deeds that are regarded as insignificant, for they will pile up upon a person till they destroy him.” [Musnad Ahmad (3818) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in Saheeh al-Jaami (2687)]ah is a gateway to Shirk, similarly, sins are a gateway to Bid
vi) The way Bidah. Persistence upon sins leads a person on the path of Bidah, and persistence upon Bid`ah leads him on the path of Shirk till he no longer remains in the fold of Islaam.
🔥d) Committing injustice against others:
i) And this is one of the most severe forms of injustice that a person transgresses against others, and takes away their rights unjustly.
ii) People engage in doing many good deeds in this season of righteousness, but they do not care for the rights of the people, they do not stop their injustice towards others.
iii) They destroy their own good deeds by doing injustice to others.
iv) This is like how a poet said: “When will a building be completed when you are trying to build it while the others are trying to pull it down? So, what then about the building which you are constructing and at the same time you yourself are pulling it down?”
v) The Prophet ﷺ said: “The bankrupt in my Ummah is the one who comes with Salaah and Fasting and Zakaah on the Day of Judgement, but he comes having abused this one, falsely accusing that one, wrongfully consuming the wealth of this one, spilling the blood of that one, and beating this one. So he is seated, and this one is requited from his rewards. If his rewards are exhausted before the sins that he committed are requited, then some of their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be cast into the Fire.” [Saheeh Muslim]
vi) Who compelled you to lose all that which you had strived for so hard? You Fasted, prevented yourself from food and drink, and suffered hunger and thirst! You stayed awake in the nights praying, and prevented yourself from the sweetness of sleep!
vii) You did so many good deeds, so why do you want to give it away? Why do you want to commit things which will not benefit you, nor bring you honor in this world and nor will they elevate your status in the Hereafter?
viii) You sit in gatherings and backbite others! You talk something unlawful, you hear something unlawful, you see something unlawful, you degrade some and belittle others. These are actions which will make one lose his good deeds to others….
🎙️ [Part of Shaikh Muhammad al-Malki’s lecture on 17 June 2023]
۞ 6) None can benefit us against Allaah, as the Prophet ﷺ had said: ❝And know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allaah had already prescribed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allaah had already prescribed against you.❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2516) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
۞ 7) Don’t rely on your strength for the desired change. First become righteous and ask Allaah for the changes that you desire, as the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝If you ask, then ask Allaah [alone]; and if you seek help, then seek help from Allaah [alone].❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2516) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
۞ 8) Peace and Security is guaranteed for those who shun Shirk, as Allaah تعالى says:
فَأَيُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالْأَمْنِ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ * الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
{So which of the two parties (the Believers or the polytheists) has more right to security, if you should know? They who believe (in Allaah and worship Him alone) and do not mix their belief with Dhulm (injustice, i.e., by worshiping others besides Allaah) - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.}
📚[Surah al-An`aam (6):81-82]
۞ 9) Establish Worship of Allaah on earth, and He تعالى will fulfill what He has promised you:
وَعَدَ اللَّهُ 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 فَأُولَٰئِكَ 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 practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islaam). 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 Fasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)}
📚[Surah al-Noor (24): 55]
THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS AND OBEDIENCE ALLAAH تعالى WILL BRING ABOUT A CHANGE WHICH YOUR VOTES CANNOT ACCOMPLISH.
🌙 Recommended Deeds During These 10 Days:
1️⃣ Performing Hajj and Umrah (for the pilgrims)Arafah (for the non-pilgrims)
2️⃣ Fasting as many days as possible, especially the day of
3️⃣ Saying Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) throughout these 10 days. Ibn `Umar and Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنهما went out to the markets they used to say aloud: “ALLAAHU AKBAR, ALLAAHU AKBAR” and the people would emulate them.
4️⃣ A Muslim should sincerely repent and seek Allaah’s forgiveness
5️⃣ A Muslim should avoid sins, profanity, and useless speech, and stay away from evil places
6️⃣ Fulfilling the obligations diligently
7️⃣ Performing the optional (Nawafil) deeds, like optional Salaah, Sadaqah (charity), helping the poor, enjoining good and forbidding evil.
8️⃣ To offer animals for slaughter between 10th & 13th Dhul-Hijjah
9️⃣ Those who are planning to offer animal for slaughter should not cut their nails and hair from the time of the sighting of the crescent of the month of Dhul Hijjah (i.e., beginning of the month) until the actual slaughtering.
🔟 A Muslim should attend the Eid prayer in congregation
1️⃣1️⃣ A Muslim should not wrong himself and he should not wrong others at all times, but more so in these days, due to the saying of Allaah تعالى:
فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ
{so wrong not yourselves therein (i.e., in these 4 sacred months)} (9:36)
Allaah will (then) ask: {What have you done (to requite these blessings)?} He will say: I spent money in every cause in which You wished that it should be spent. Allaah will say: {You are lying. You did (so) that it might be said about (you): "He is a generous fellow", and so it was said.} Then will Allaah pass orders and he will be dragged with his face downward and thrown into Hell.❞
