Imâm Ibnul-Qayyim رحمه الله listed a few consequences of sinning/disobeying Allāh:

• Lack of success

• Corruption of the heart
• Failing to remember Allāh
• Wasting of time
• Avoidance and hate by the creation
• Separation between the servant and his Lord
• Supplication not being answered

How your kids treat you in your old age depends on how you have raised them❗

Sheikh Uthaimeen رحمه الله:

If they are disobedient to Allaah سبحانه وتعالى now, they will be disobedient to you when you most need them.
“O Muslims! Don’t you fear of this responsibility? 
Don’t you fear that (how) you end up (in your old age) depends on how you have raised your children?
When you DON'T discipline them, they will grow up being disobedient to you – a fitting recompense! 

Reviving the Sunnah of the Black Musk

Benefits of Black Musk

On the authority of Abu Saeed رضي الله عنه that the Messenger (ﷺ) said: 

'The BEST of fragrances/scents is Musk.'

(Muslim)

Imaam an-Nawawi رحمه الله said in his explanation of this hadeeth: 'It is the BEST of scents and the most preferred!  It is pure and permissible to use on the body and clothing, and also to sell it.' -- (This is a general consensus on that which was mentioned previously.)

Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله stated in 'At-Tib An-Nabawiyyah':

"Musk is the King of perfumes. It has the BEST Aroma. Other perfumes are usually compared to Musk, but Musk is NEVER compared to other perfumes! Also the hills and the sands of paradise are made of musk.”

Musk is a hot dry substance of the second degree. It brings comfort and joy to the heart, whilst also strengthening the inner organs when it is drunk or smelt. Musk brings strength and comfort to the external organs when rubbed with it. Musk is profitable for old people and those who have excessive skin moisture especially during winter. It also helps against fainting, shaking and general weaknesses in the body....

Supplication worth memorizing..

اللّهُمَّ ، إِنًّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكً ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتَكَ ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نَقْمَتِكَ ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ

Allaahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matika, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatika, wa fuja'ati niqmatika, wa jami'i sakhatika

Some Translate it as:

"O Allaah I seek refuge with You from deprivation of Your Blessing, alteration/removal of Your Protection, sudden infliction of Your Anger, and all Your Wrath."

Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allaah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) used to supplicate thus:

The Dangers of Smart Phones & Social Networking

By: Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzaan حفظه الله

O mankind… Know that from the greatest of hindrances preventing you from being upright are trials and tribulations that block you from the path of Allaah and cause you to fall into misguidance.

How great in number they are in this time, and how numerous are the callers calling to them through their writings, through their tweets on Twitter and those things like it – through the various means of communication that are widespread among the people and have filled their homes.

How numerous are those that go astray because of these evil channels.

So be weary of them, O slaves of Allaah.

Be cautious of them and don’t look into them.  Don’t bring them into your homes.  Don’t leave them with your children and your wives because they are what hinder from the religion and from the path of Allaah, and divert them from being upright and cause them to fall into deviation and misguidance.

The Cause of Earthquakes –Imaam Muqbil Bin Haadee Part 1

PART - 1

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

The People differ (in their views) concerning earthquakes. Some say that it is a natural phenomenon and it has nothing to do with religion; others say that it (occurs) by Allaah’s decision and pre-decree and it has nothing to do with the sins (of the people); and others say that it is warning for (the slaves to fear Allaah’s punishment) and it has nothing to do with (their sins); and others say that it (occurs) as a result of the sins (of the people)?

The answer to this is: It may occur as a warning, a decision and pre-decree of Allaah and as a result of the sins (of the people). Earthquakes can occur as a warning for those who are witness it and are alive. He سُبحانه وتعالى said:

وَإِنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۚ كَانَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا
وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَنْ نُرْسِلَ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا أَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الْأَوَّلُونَ ۚ وَآتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا ۚ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالْآيَاتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًا

“And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees); And nothing stops Us from sending the Ayat (proofs, evidences, signs) but that the people of old denied them. And We sent the she-camel to Thamud as a clear sign, but they did her wrong. And We sent not the signs except to warn, and to make them afraid (of destruction).”

(Al-Israa: 58-59)

The Cause of Earthquakes –Imaam Muqbil Bin Haadee Part 2

PART - 2

As for it being a result of the sins (of the people), Allaah (سبحانه وتعالى) said in His Noble Book:

وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ

“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much.”

(Shoorah:30)

He (سبحانه وتعالى) said:

ذَٰلِكَ أَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غَافِلُونَ

”This is because your Lord would not destroy the (populations of) towns for their wrong-doing (i.e. associating others in worship along with Allah) while their people were unaware (so the Messengers were sent).”

(An-An’aam:131)

And He (سبحانه وتعالى) said:

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ

”And your Lord would never destroy the towns wrongfully, while their people were right-doers.”

(Hud:117)

The Cause of Earthquakes –Imaam Muqbil Bin Haadee Part 3

PART 3 (Conclusion)

إِنَّ قَارُونَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ مَا إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُوءُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِي الْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لَا تَفْرَحْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِينَ

Verily, Qarun was of Musa’s people, but he behaved arrogantly towards them. And We gave him of the treasures, that of which the keys would have been a burden to a body of strong men. When his people said to him: “Do not be glad (with ungratefulness to Allaah’s Favours). Verily! Allaah likes not those who are glad (with ungratefulness to Allaah’s Favours).

ابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِنْ كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

But seek, with that (wealth) which Allaah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as Allaah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allaah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts).
