"So
whatever He wills,
Will be,
at the time
that He wills,
in the way
that He wills,
with No
addition nor omission,
no
precedence nor delay.”

"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
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.
