Salaam Alaaykum Warahmatullah,

“Whoever says: ‘Glorified is Allah, the Most Great, and praised is He’ [Subhan Allah al-'Adhim wa bi-Hamdih] will have a date palm planted for him in Paradise.” ['Sahih al-Jami'' #5531]

They were youths, yet mature youths May 12, 2008

Posted by Ghuraba in : Muslims, Naseeha, knowledge , add a comment

Salaam Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wa Barakathu,

A message for the youth and even the elder generation as they are part of this ummah..

“…They were youths, yet mature youths, their eyes fresh and free of evil, their feet refrained from approaching falsehood and futility.

They sacrificed and expended themselves in worship and in withholding themselves from sleep. They sold their souls which were to pass away for souls which would never die.

Allaah saw them in the latter part of the night, bending their backs, reciting the Qur’aan. Whenever one of them came to an Aayah mentioning Paradise, he would weep, longing for it. Whenever he came upon an Aayah mentioning the fire he would groan out of fear, as if the Hell-fire were directly in front of him.

The earth devoured their knees their hands and their foreheads (out of their constant prostration). They joined exhaustion in the night with exhaustion in the day. Their colour becoming yellowed and their bodies emaciated through standing long in prayer and frequent fasting - whilst they regarded their own actions to be negligible before Allaah.

They fulfilled their covenant with Allaah and attained Allaah’s promise.”

So let us hasten to be like them and to resemble them, since, as it was said: We are not in comparison to those who came before except like small herbs growing beside the trunks of tall palm trees.

And as ‘Abdullaah Ibn al-Mubaarak said: Do not mention us whilst mentioning them, the fit and healthy when he walks is not like the crippled.

From the Greatest of Sins: Being Bored of Allah’s Blessings May 9, 2008

Posted by Ghuraba in : Ghuraba, Muslims, Naseeha, True Shuyook, knowledge , add a comment

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

“From the greatest of sins which are hidden - and widely practiced - is that the servant is enjoying a blessing that Allah has blessed him with and chosen for him, then that servant becomes bored of it and seeks to exchange it for what he thinks - due to his ignorance - is better for him than it, and His Lord continues to be merciful to him and does not prevent him from this blessing, and He excuses him due to his ignorance and this bad choice that he has chosen for himself. When he reaches the limit in scorning this blessing and his boredom with it overcomes him, Allah removes this blessing from him. So, if he is given what he sought in exchange for that blessing, and he sees the immense difference between what he was previously enjoying and and what he has now been given instead of it, his anxiety and regret increase and he requests a return to what he previously had. So, if Allah desires good and guidance for His servant, He allows him to bear witness that what he had was a blessing from the blessings of Allah upon him, and He causes him to become pleased with that blessing and to give thanks to Allah for it. If his soul then whispers to him to again seek to exchange that blessing for something else, he makes istikharah to His Lord, the istikharah of the one who is ignorant of what is in his best interests and unable to attain them. He turns his affairs to Allah, requesting of Him to help him make the best decision.

And there is nothing more harmful to the servant than to become bored of the blessings of Allah, because he does not see it as a blessing, and he does not thank Allah for it, and does not become happy because of it. Rather, he belittles it, complains about it and considers it to be a disaster - all this while it can well be from the greatest of Allah’s blessings upon him.

Most people have a feeling of enmity towards Allah’s blessings upon them, and they do not percieve that this opening that Allah has given them is actually a blessing, and they exert the utmost effort in repelling it and pushing it away out of ignorance and oppression. So, how many are those whom Allah’s blessings comes to one of them, and they rise to repel and fight against it? And how many are those whom the blessing comes to one of them and he strives to push it away and brush it to the side out of ignorance and oppression?

Allah - the Exalted - says: {“And this is because Allah would not change a blessing that He has blessed a people with unless they change what is within themselves.”} [al-Anfal; 53]

The one who is devoid of logic loses his chance * Until the affair passes him by. Then, he blames predestination.”

['al-Fawa'id'; p. 248]

Salaam Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakathu

It is unfortunately very common in the west that nonmuslims have a false percetion that Women in Islam are weak and oppressed by their men. Shaykh Abur- Raheem Green does a very good job alhamdulilah in dispelling the myths held by the nonmuslims. Please send the video to everyone you know soo that they can be educated on this topic.

Hayyā Lil-Amām: Come Towards Us

 

At-Tibyān Publications

 

The Gardens of Paradise,

The Voice of the Maidens

Are calling for you, “O Young Men of the Era…”

Virgins on Pavilions

Holding her Passionate Desires,

They are Calling, “Come Towards Us…”

Rivers and Birds,

Palaces and Comforts,

This is the Bliss, Endless,

This is the Ecstasy,

A Pure Life,

The Heart is Satisfied, and No Fatigue,

Meeting the Messenger, After the Arrival,

And His Companions, the Warrior People,

O You Who Wants

Eternity and Beautiful Forests:

Come to the Battle

Because the Inactive One Will Not Get Anything,

And Here (in the Battle), You Can Receive the Mazīd (through martyrdom),

A Glance Towards Him (Allāh) in the Abode of Eternal Life…

A Glance Towards Him (Allāh) in the Abode of Eternal Life…
