Recommended Sunnahs When A Newborn Arrives

Sheikh Muqbil  رحمه الله was asked:

Question: What are the recommended Sunnan when a newborn arrives?

Answer: “The recommended Sunan, rather what is obligatory is the Aqeeqah. For verily the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) said:
كل غلام مرتهن بعقيقته
Every boy is mortgaged by his ‘Aqiqah.
It is two sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl. This is one affair. Another affair is to choose a good name. It was reported by Imam Muslim in his Saheeh from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) said:
أحب الأسماء إلى الله عبدالله وعبدالرحمن
The most beloved names to Allaah are Abdullah and Abdurrahman.

Beware, beware of calling your child the names of disbelievers like George. Likewise, names of oppressors like Saddam, Ma’mar al-Qadhafi, and Hafidh Asad. Beware of naming with these names. Also the name Jamaal. There is no harm in this. However, if he is named Jamaal Abdul-Nasir, may Allaah not have mercy upon him, then no. So what is important, is to choose a good name. Then after that, also choose a pious wet-nurse. For verily a child is influenced by the one who nurses him. 

Call yourself to account in this world ....

Signs of Beneficial Knowledge

Sheikh Bakr Abu Zaid said in his book ‘Hilyah Taalib Ul ‘Ilm’:

Ask yourself about your portion of the signs of beneficial knowledge.
They are:

1.     Action upon it:
2.     Disliking praise and appraisals, and being arrogant over the creation.
Note: Sheikh ‘Uthaimeen said: ‘And this is what some have been tested with…’
3.     Having much humility when you increase in knowledge.
4.     Running away from loving leadership, fame and the Dunya.
5.     Staying away from claiming knowledge.

Don't depend too muchon anyone in this world...

A Profit That Will NEVER Perish!

Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says:

{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّـهِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَةً لَّن تَبُورَ}
Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allaah and establish prayer and spend [in His cause] out of what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, [can] expect a profit that will never perish..”
[Faatir, 35:29]

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم  said:

Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says: ‘O son of Aadam, devote yourself to My worship. I will fill your breast with freedom from want and plug up your poverty. If you do not do this, I will fill your breast with (worldly) pursuits and will not obstruct poverty.”
