And Allaah is able to do everything...

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنْزَلْنَـهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الاٌّرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّياحُ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا

“And mention the parable of the worldly life: it is like the water which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it, and becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the winds scatter. And Allah is able to do everything.”

(Al-Kahf, 18:45)

Preoccupy Yourself With Knowledge

Imaam Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi`ee (رحمه الله) said:

"What I advise myself and everyone is pre-occupation with knowledge.  The worries of the worldly life do not have an end; so beware of pre-occupying yourselves with the difficulties of life, for had we pre-occupied ourselves with them, we would not have been able to seek knowledge."

The Dangers of the Tongue - 1

 

Transcript of a tape by brother Abu Uwais Abdullaah 'Alee رحمه الله 

This reminder is extremely beneficial for both brothers and sisters and is of particular importance during this month of Ramadaan bearing in mind the following hadeeth narrated by Abu Huraira رضي اللّه عنـه:

The Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said, "Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allaah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allaah will not accept his fasting.)" (Bukhari #1789)

May Allaah accept our fasting during this blessed month and grant us the ability to restrain our tongue and act upon the advice given in this lecture.
