By Allaah! The enemy did not wrong you ...

“By Allaah! The enemy did not wrong you except after the Lord abandoned you, so do not think that Shaytaan overpowers you, it is just the Maintainer (i.e. Allaah) who has forsaken you.”

 

Imaam Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah)

[al-Fawaaid (English Translation : A Collection of Wise Sayings), page 108]

Darkness into Light

 

 "When the night comes, the slaves of the All-Merciful transform its darkness into light.”

(Mohsen Shaker al-Bayoumi, Slaves of the All-Merciful)

"Nothing can save you from the face of difficulty except..."

Umar ibn al-Khattab advised Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas saying:

“You are going to face something difficult & nothing can save you from it except the truth. Accustom yourself & those who are with you to doing good, start everything with good, & remember that for every good habit there is a means to develop it. The means of developing good is patience. If you are patient in bearing everything that befalls you or happens to you, you will gain the fear (taqwa) of Allaah.”

[Tarikh At-Tabari, 4/306-307]

Did You Know?

“The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right & wrong).”

(Sooratul Baqarah 2:185)

Allaah praised the month of Ramadhan out of the other months by choosing it to send down the Glorious Qur’aan, just as He did for all of the Divine Books He revealed to the Prophets. 

Imaam Ahmad reported Wathilah bin Al Asqa` that Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم  said:

أُنْزِلَتْ صُحُفُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَأُنْزِلَتِ التَّوْرَاةُ لِسِتَ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَالْإِنْجِيلُ لِثَلاثَ عَشَرةَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْقُرْآنَ لأَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَان

“The Suhuf (Pages) of Ibraaheem were revealed during the first night of Ramadhan. The Torah was revealed during the sixth night of Ramadhan. The Injeel was revealed during the thirteenth night of Ramadhan. Allaah revealed the Qur’aan on the twenty-fourth night of Ramadhan.”

Tafseer Ibn Katheer

ALLAH has Fed him & Given him to Drink

 

 

The Prophet  صلى الله عليه وسلم  said:-

"If any one of you forgetfully eats or drinks while observing the fast, he should complete his Sawm [Fasting] for Allaah has fed him & given him to drink.'

[Source: Al-Bukhari & Muslim]  

This Hadith clearly states the Sawm remains intact if due to forgetfulness one eats or drinks. This is provided one abandons the act as soon as he remembers that he is observing Sawm !

SubhanAllaah !! What a Merciful Lord we have…

If bid’ah only consisted of Lies...

“If bid’ah only consisted of Lies, then it would not have been accepted and everybody would even hurry to condemn it and refute it. And if it only consisted of Haqq (truth), then it would not have been a Bid’ah, rather, in agreement with the Sunnah, but it (Bid’ah) consist of both truth and lies in which the truth is clothed with lies.”

Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim (rahimahullaah)

 Sawaa'iq al-Mursalah (3/925)]

What is the ruling on the fasting person using cream to get rid of the dryness on the lips?

Sheikh Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaimeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on the fasting person using cream to get rid of the dryness on the lips. So, he replied:

‘There is no problem in a person using that which moistens the lips and the nose by way of a cream, or him moistening it with water or with a cloth or that which resembles that. However, he should be careful in case something of this which he has used to remove the coarseness reaches his stomach. And if something does reach the stomach unintentionally, then there is nothing upon him, just as if he rinsed out his mouth and the water reached his stomach unintentionally, then indeed, he does not break his fast with this.'

Always in Need of The Ever-Merciful

“So the servant is ALWAYS in need of his Lord, from EVERY perspective. This is because He is the object of his worship, and the source of all of his help. So no one can bring him any good except Him, and nothing can better the situation of the servant except His worship. And on top of all of this, the servant is sinning, and there is no way that he can avoid this. So he is always in need, sinning, and he is in need of the One who always Forgives, the One who is Ever-Merciful. The One who always Forgives (al-Ghafoor) will Forgive his sins, and the Ever-Merciful will show him Mercy and bless him and be kind to him. So the servant is eternally between the blessings of his Lord and the sins of his soul.”

Ibn Taymiyyaah [d. 728H/1328CE]

How did the Sahaabiyyaat go about teaching their children?

A: Umm ‘Abdillaah (hafithahallaah) gave the example of Umm Sulaym, the mother of Anas (radhiyallaahu ‘anhumaa) who sent her son to serve the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) at a very young age.   He served him for 10 years.  He was not a slave.  Umm Sulaym encouraged Anas to be with Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم).  There’s no difference between the male and female student of knowledge. Umm Sulaym wanted Anas to get blessings and ‘benefit from the ilm of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).  She wanted him to get practical knowledge.

Umm ‘Abdillaah gave another example: She spoke about the time when the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) sent Anas to do something for him.  He met his mother on the way and she asked him where he was going. He replied that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sent him somewhere. Umm Sulaym then told him to never convey the Prophet’s secrets.
