"Sell your current life for your latter life.."




Imaam al-Hasan al-Basree (rahimahullaah) said:

“O son of Aadam! Sell your current life for your latter life, and you will win both. Do not sell your latter life for this life, for you will lose them both. The period of stay is short, and the righteous ones went away before you, so what are you waiting for? Do you wait your turn? By Allah, it is about to come, and then the latter ones will join the former ones amongst you.”

[At-Tabseerah, vol. 1, p.368]

Who is Bankrupt on the Day of Judgement??

              
Ibn ul-Jawzi (rahimahullaah) said:

“By Allaah, one should implement what he knows for it is indeed the greatest foundation. And the Miskeen (poor) , the true Miskeen is the one who wasted his life learning that which he does not practice, thus he looses the pleasures of the Dunyaa (world) and the goodness of the Aakhirah (hereafter), coming forth bankrupt (on the Day of Judgment) with strong evidences against himself.”

[Saydul-Khaatir (138)]


Know That Leaving The Correct Path Occurs In Two Ways

Beautiful Dew Drops 15


Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) said:

Know that leaving the correct path occurs in two ways. Firstly: that a man strays from the correct path intending nothing but good, so his error is not to be followed since it leads to destruction. Secondly, a man who deliberately opposes the truth and acts contrary to the Pious ones who came before him, he is astray, leading others astray, a rebellious devil within the Ummah. It is a duty upon those who know of him to warn the people against him and to explain his condition to them so that no one falls into his innovation and is destroyed.’¹

Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) comments on the above statement of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) saying:

White lies vs. Black lies

 

Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzan (hafithahuAllaah)

Question: The questioner asks O Shaykh; is there such thing as white lies and black lies?

Sheikh Fawzan: All lies are black, there are no white lies; all of them are black and they are not permissible. Except in the three situations mentioned by the Prophet, prayers and peace are upon him: Lying in order to make peace between people who have had a falling out; or the spouses lying to each other in an effort to mend the relationship; or lying in an effort to escape the oppressor, in order to escape from the oppressor. And this is called: Interpretation. Outside of this, lying is haraam; all of them. And lying is from the Major Sins and it is NOT permissible.

Patience in Times of Calamities

                             Imaam Abdur Rahman As-Sa’dee (rahimahuAllaah)

“And We will surely test you with something of fear, hunger, and loss of wealth, lives, and fruits…But, give glad tidings to the patient. Those who, when they are afflicted by a calamity say: ‘Indeed we belong to Allaah, and indeed to Him we will return.’ Those are the ones upon whom are Salawaat from their Lord, and they receive His mercy. And it is those who are the rightly guided.”
 [al-Baqarah: 155-157]

Allaah informs us that His slaves must be tested with trials, in order to manifest and differentiate between those who are truthful and those who are liars, between those who are patient and those who are impatient. This is the way Allaah deals with His slaves, because if the people of faith (Imaan) were not tested and they were left to remain in good times and happiness there would be confusion which is corruption. However, the wisdom of Allaah necessitates differentiating the good people from the evil people. This is the lesson and benefit of trials. So these trials are not to lose the Imaan of the believers, nor to turn them away from their religion. Never would Allaah cause the believers to lose there Imaan.

These calamities, tests, and trials MUST occur, as The All-Knower, All- Acquainted has informed us. And just as He informed us, they happen. Whenever they befall, people are divided into two categories:

GOOD NEWS! New Book of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Hizam in English [2 Attachments]


Bismillahir-Rahmaanirraheem

This book is a call to the non-Muslims to the path of Islaam.

Two versions of the book are posted: one with the text of the Qur'aan and Hadeeth in Arabic and the other without the Arabic text.
