Gentleness

 

From Abi Hurairah (رضي اللّه عنـه) who said that Allaah’s Messenger (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) said:

“Indeed Allaah is gentle and loves gentleness, and gives due to gentleness that which He does not give to harshness.”

Reported by Ibn Majah [no. 3688] and Ibn Hibaan [no. 549]

Increase of Provision through Forgiveness - 2

Al-Hafidh Emaad ad-Deen Isma’eel Ibn Katheer (d. 774 A.H.) رحمه الله said in his Tafseer about the Ayaat:

“Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.
He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers
And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.”

[Nuh: 10-12]

‘If you repented to Allaah & sought forgiveness from Him & showed obedience to Him your Rizq (provision) would increase & rain would fall from the blessings of the skies, & the blessings of the earth would spring forth, crops would grow for you. You will be given abundant livestock. You will be aided with wealth & offspring; meaning that offspring & wealth would be given to you. And you will be given gardens that have numerous types of fruits & throughout there will be rivers that flow in these gardens. This is the way of giving Dawa’ by encouragement.’

Summary of Understanding Islam, a solution to: THE TRIALS OF LIFE (3)

       Can fitan (trials) be like the punishment of Allaah? 

Dr. Saleh al Fawzan حفظه الله

The word fitan (trials and tribulations) is the plural of fitnah which means being tested and trialed, such that the truth or hypocrisy of one’s faith is made apparent. Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says:

‘There are amongst mankind who say: “We believe in Allaah,” but if they are trialed in the cause of Allaah, they consider the trial of mankind similar to the punishment of Allaah..’ ⁵

Imaam As-Sa'adi: Commentary on the verse {indeed all the believers are brothers…..}

 

Allaah the Most High says:

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

“Indeed all the believers are brothers. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allâh, that you may receive mercy.”

(Al-Hujurat 49:10)
 

Imaam A-Sa'di said:

"This is a bond that Allaah has concluded between the believers, that if there is an individual whoever he may be, whether in the east of earth or its west, that has belief in Allaah and his Angels and his Books and his Messengers and the Last Day then indeed he is a brother of the believers, a brotherhood that necessitates that the believers love for him what they love for themselves and that they dislike for him what they dislike for themselves, and due to this the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said ordering the believers with brotherhood based on Eeman:
