“A sign (of a person) having love for Allaah is his increase in his remembrance of Him (Allaah), for verily you do not love something except that you increase remembrance of that (thing).”

“From Allaah’s Blessings on a servant is that he be granted contentment, whether that be regarding his residence, his clothes, his means of transport, or his children.  For when a person is content with what Allaah has given him, he will remain rich.”

Deeda that are in your eyes more insignificant than a hair


One of the Companions said:

“You are doing deeds that are, in your eyes, more insignificant than a hair, whereas at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (‘alayhis-salaam) we would consider them to be destructive sins!” [1]

The Effects of a Pleasant Smile

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)  said,

“Do not look down on any act of kindness, even if it is just meeting your brother with a pleasant smile on your face.”
[Sahih Muslim]
 

Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (Rahimahullaah) said:

A Fly or a Mountain?


‘Abdullah b. Mas’ûd (Allaah be pleased with him) said:

animated water and mountains


“The believer sees his sins as if he is sitting at the foot of a mountain fearing that it might fall on him, while the sinner (fâjir) sees his sins as a fly that lands on his nose, he just waves it away.”

Al-Bukhârî, Al-Sahîh, The Book of Supplications, Chapter on Tawbah.


Ibn Hajr quotes in his commentary, Fath Al-Bârî:

Ibn Abî Jumrah said, 

“The reason for this [fear] is that the heart of a believer is illuminated; so when he sees from himself something that goes against what he illuminates his heart with, it is very distressing to him. The wisdom behind giving the example of a mountain is that a person might find some way to escape from other dangers, but if a mountain falls on a person he does not survive. In short, the believer is dominated by fear (of Allaah) due to the strength of îmân he has; he does not therefore feel falsely secure about being punished because of his sins. This is the way of the Muslim: he always fears and checks on himself, his good deeds are little to him and he fears even the small bad deeds he has done.”

‘O Allaah! Do not cause me to become famous but take me back to You!’


‘Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak (rahimahullaah) narrated:

‘I was in Makkah when the people were afflicted with a drought. So they all came out to Masjid al-Haram for Istisqaa’ (prayer for rain) but they were not granted rain, & to my side was a black slave.

He said, ‘O Allaah, O Allaah. They have surely called You but You did not respond. I swear to You & take an oath by You that You will indeed provide water for us.’

Ibn al-Mubarak said, ‘By Allaah, it was only a short moment before we were granted rain.’

He continued saying, ‘The black slave departed & I followed him until he entered a house in

Heresy & Hypocrisy [the company you keep]

It is reported that Al-Fudayl b. ‘Ayyâd (rahimahullaah) said:

"Verily, Allâh has angels who seek out the circles of remembrance [of Allâh], so be careful who you sit with; make sure it is NOT with an adherent of bid’ah, for Allâh does not look at them. And the sign of nifâq (hypocrisy in faith) is that a man mingles with an adherent of bid’ah."

Knowing a Man by His Moves

It is reported that Al-A’mash (rahimahullaah) said:

They (the Salaf) never used to ask about [the religious condition of] a man after knowing three things about him: where & upon whom he entered, where & with whom he walked, & the close company he kept.

Meaning: Knowing these things about a man is more than sufficient for knowing whether he is following the right path on the Sunnah or not.

Ibn Battah, Al-Ibānah article 419.

Four Signs of the W-r-e-t-c-h-e-d

It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrî  (rahimahullaah) said:

 

Four signs of wretchedness are: [having] a hard heart, dry eyes [that never cry], extended hopes [about this life], & greed & keenness to amass worldly things (the dunyâ).


Ibn Abî Al-Dunyâ, Kitâb Al-Zuhd article 36.

Repelling Evil With Good


There are two important lessons to learn from the saying of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) :

“A believing man (husband) should not hate a believing woman (wife): if he dislikes one character in her, he will like another one.”
(Muslim)

The first is: it gives guidance in the way to deal with wives, relations, friends, colleagues and anyone with whom you have a relationship or association. It teaches that you have to...
