Just wait...

“Allaah will grant, after hardship, ease”
~ Surat ut-Talaaq, 65:7

Sheikh Muhammad bin Saalih al-’Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) comments:

“Will this strained (circumstance) remain? No. {Allaah will grant, after hardship, ease}. Just wait for the relief and be truthful with Allaah, and {Allaah will grant, after hardship, ease} and {Indeed with every hardship will be ease, indeed with every hardship will be ease}. This promise is only for the one who waits for the relief from Allaah and trusts in Allaah’s promise. But the person for whom Allaah makes (something) difficult, and he despairs of His Mercy and thinks that relief is unlikely – refuge is sought in Allaah – then the situation will not be made easy for this person.”

Whatever He (azzawajal) wills…

"So whatever He wills,

Will be,

at the time that He wills,

in the way that He wills,

with No addition nor omission,

no precedence nor delay.”

"Sell your current life for your latter life.."

Imaam al-Hasan al-Basree (rahimahullaah) said:

“O son of Aadam! Sell your current life for your latter life, and you will win both. Do not sell your latter life for this life, for you will lose them both. The period of stay is short, and the righteous ones went away before you, so what are you waiting for? Do you wait your turn? By Allah, it is about to come, and then the latter ones will join the former ones amongst you.”

[At-Tabseerah, vol. 1, p.368]

Who is Bankrupt on the Day of Judgement??

              

Ibn ul-Jawzi (rahimahullaah) said:

“By Allaah, one should implement what he knows for it is indeed the greatest foundation. And the Miskeen (poor) , the true Miskeen is the one who wasted his life learning that which he does not practice, thus he looses the pleasures of the Dunyaa (world) and the goodness of the Aakhirah (hereafter), coming forth bankrupt (on the Day of Judgment) with strong evidences against himself.”

[Saydul-Khaatir (138)]

Know That Leaving The Correct Path Occurs In Two Ways

Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) said:

‘Know that leaving the correct path occurs in two ways. Firstly: that a man strays from the correct path intending nothing but good, so his error is not to be followed since it leads to destruction. Secondly, a man who deliberately opposes the truth and acts contrary to the Pious ones who came before him, he is astray, leading others astray, a rebellious devil within the Ummah. It is a duty upon those who know of him to warn the people against him and to explain his condition to them so that no one falls into his innovation and is destroyed.’¹

Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) comments on the above statement of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) saying:
