Intentions

It is reported from Yahya bin Abee Katheer that he said: 

"Learn [to perfect] your intentions, because your intentions will help you reach what your actions would never be able to reach." 

[Jaami' al-'Uloom wal-Hikam]

Wastage of Time & Corruption of the Heart

“Be cautious of (the) mixing with a person which will cause wastage of time and corruption of the heart. For verily, when time is wasted and the heart is corrupted, all of the affairs of the servant will become ruined, and he will be of those about whom Allaah, the Exalted, said:

وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطًا

.. and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost. (Al-Kahf 18:28)”

- Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah. 

The Path to Guidance, page 9. Refer to Chapter 13: Ibn al-Qayyim on Making Use of One’s Time in Changing Evil into Good.

If a woman from the women of Jannah were to appear ..

Upon the authority of Anas Ibn Maalik (RadhiAllaahu ‘anhu) who said that the Messenger of Allaah  (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: 

“..If a woman from the women of Jannah were to appear in this world, that which is between (the heavens and the earth) would be filled with her (beautiful) fragrance.. and they would illuminate that which is between the heavens and the earth.. the scarf that is on her head is better than the world and that which is upon it!”

(Collected By Tirmidhi (1651) and declared ‘Saheeh’ by Sheikh Al Albaani in Saheeh Sunan At Tirmidhi)

Have you then no sense?

 

وَمَا أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

“And whatever you have been given is an enjoyment of the life of (this) world and its adornment, and that (Hereafter) which is with Allâh is better and will remain FOREVER. Have you then no sense?”

(Al-Qasas 28:60)

Women Whose Menstruation Finishes at the End of the Night?

Sheikh Uthaimeen, (may Allaah have mercy on him), said,

“Some women’s periods finish at the end of the night and they know that they have become clean but they don’t fast that day under the assumption that if they do not take a ghusl their fast will not be correct – but that is not the case, their fast is correct even if they didn’t take a ghusl except after the emergence of Fajr."”

(Fiqhul-Ibaadaat, p. 254.)

My Journey to seek Ilm begins... Alhamdulillaah!

(Dammaj, Yemen - The Lighthouse of Islaam)

In the Name of Allaah (The One). I send peace & blessings upon His Messenger (Al-Mustafa) & upon His Messenger’s family, companions, & those who follow him in righteousness until the Day of Judgment (Yawm Al-Qiyaamah).

Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu to all those who visit my blog,

This is to inform you all that I am journeying to Dammaj, Yemen with my family to seek ilm bi'ithinillaahi. My Zawj (may Allaah reward him) just bought a socket to charge my laptop & voila here I am typing this post seated in the hotel, in Sana'a, the capital of Yemen. Alhamdulilllaah. 

Please be patient with me until I settle down & get access to internet which may take a while. This is my first visit to Yemen & everything so far has been such a wonderful learning experience which I hope to share with you all soon insha-Allaah under the page titled:  

"Letters To My Precious Mother… (the womb that bore me)."

 

May Allaah azzawajal make this Blog a platform to share with you all beneficial knowledge directly from the Fortress of Sunnah, (Dammaj), ameen.

O Allaah, I ask you to accept whatever I am doing for Your Face ALONE (without any show - 'riyaa') with pure 'Ikhlaas' on my scale of good deeds, ameen! I ask you for birr & taqwaa in this journey of ours & for deeds which pleases You. O Allaah facilitate our journey & let us cover its distance quickly. O Allaah, You are The Companion on our journey & the Successor over the family. O Allaah, I take refuge with You from the difficulties of travel, from having a change of heart & being in a bad predicament & I take refuge in You from an ill-fated outcome with wealth & family. Ameen.

He gives & does not take, He feeds & is not fed...

 

“Generosity is one of the Attributes of Allaah (Exalted be He); He gives & does not take; He feeds & is not fed; & He is the Most Generous One. The most beloved to Him is whoever acquires the same traits; He is Generous & He loves the generous; He is Knowledgeable & He loves the knowledgeable; He is Powerful & He loves the courageous; & He is Beautiful & He loves beauty.”

Whoever is knocking at the door of Allaah..

 

As long as you are performing prayer, you are knocking at the door of Allaah, and whoever is knocking at the door of Allaah, Allaah will open it for them."

How can knowledge be acquired??

 

 Sheikh Saleh ibn al-Fawzaan al-Fawzaan (hafidhaullaah)

“Knowledge cannot be acquired except through learning, and learning requires care and attention, effort, time, and it requires understanding, and it requires attentiveness of the heart – this is learning.”

[Sharh al-Usool ith-Thalaathah]
