Authentic Islaamic material based upon the Qur'aan & Sunnah as understood by the Salaf-us-Saalih (Pious Predecessors) from the corner of a Salafi Home... Sheikh Muqbil رحمه الله said: "Fear الله and teach your families, teach your sons & daughters. How wonderful is the home in which its people are upon the sunnah."
[Taken from the audio: Al Hath - alaa Talab - ul Hadith, by Sheikh Muqbil Al-Hadee Al-Waadee.]
رَبِّ ابْنِ لِى عِندَكَ بَيْتاً فِى الْجَنَّةِ

Firmness Of The Heart And Reliance On Allaah
Among the greatest cures to nervous and mental
disorders, and even other illnesses of the body, is the firmness of the heart
and its strength and lack of its being troubled and perturbed by illusions and imaginations
brought about by evil thoughts. This is because whenever a person lets
imaginations get the better of him, and allows his heart to be perturbed by
negative effects like fear of illness, or anger and confusion over some painful
situation, or anxiety over something bad happening or over the expected loss of
cherished things, whenever he lets that happen, it will surely throw him into
the den of grief, sorrow, and physical and mental illnesses, and a nervous
breakdown whose terrible effects are well known to all.
Whenever a person relies and depends on Allaah, and
does NOT surrender his heart to illusions, and does not let evil imaginations
get the better of him, and puts his trust in Allaah, and has a confidence in
His favour, grief and sorrow will vanish from his heart as a result of these actions, and many physical and
mental illnesses will leave him, and his heart will experience such joy and
tranquility that are beyond expression. How many a hospital is filled with sick
people suffering from mental illusions and evil imaginations! How many strong
person have these things shattered their hearts, to say nothing of the weak
ones! The only one exempted is the one whom Allaah has given well-being, and
guided him to struggle with his self in acquiring useful and beneficial means
of strengthening the heart and warding off worries from it. Allaah, the
Most High said:
يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَىاللَّهِ فَهُوَ
حَسْبُهُ
“And whoever puts his trust on Allaah, sufficient is
Allaah for him.”
[Surat Aţ-Ţalāq 65:3]
Meaning that Allaah is sufficient for him in ALL
that worries him concerning his religion and his worldly life.

The Types Of Actions That Will Be As Scattered Dust - Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali
The First: One having deeds from which he hopes good but they end up scattered dust and are altered to evil deeds. Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says,
وَالَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاء حَتَّى إِذَا
جَاءهُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئًا وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ فَوَفَّاهُ حِسَابَهُ
وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ
“As for those
who disbelieve, their deeds are as a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks
it to be water till he comes to it and finds it naught, and finds, in the place
thereof, Allaah Who will pay him his due; and Allaah is swift at reckoning.¹
(An-Nur
24:39)
وَقَدِمْنَا
إِلَى مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاء مَّنثُورً
“And We shall
turn unto the work they did and make it scattered motes.²
Fudayl
said concerning this verse, ”And there will appear unto them from their
Lord, that wherewith they never reckoned,” ‘They worked deeds thinking them
to be good when in reality they were evil.’
The
Second: Close to the above: a servant commits an evil deed to which he pays no
regard, thinking it insignificant, and that sin will be the cause of his
perdition as Allaah says,
"…you counted it a trifle but in
the sight of Allaah it is very great." ³
One of the Companions said, ‘You are doing
deeds that are, in your eyes, more insignificant than a hair, whereas at the
time of the Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ
عليه وسلّم we would consider
them to be destructive sins!.’4
Ways in which Allaah grants the Muslims victory over their enemies
(Taken from Majmoo
al-Fatwa of Sheikh ibn Baaz رحمه الله vol. 7)
The theme of the lecture, "Ways in which
Allaah grants Muslims victory over their enemies," makes it clear
that Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى provides
means for victory and defeat. The believers should adopt and abide by the means
of victory everywhere whether it is in the Masjid, at home or on the road, and
when fighting the enemies. The believers should adhere to the Commands of
Allaah, advise Allaah's Slaves for
Allaah's sake and stay away from the
sins that lead to defeat. It is a sin to neglect the material causes of
victory, for they are indispensable as much as the religious ones. Neglecting
any of these causes leads to disappointment, as Allaah سُبحانه
وتعالى says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ
"O you who believe! If you help (in
the cause of) Allâh, He will help you, and make your foothold firm."
(Muhammad 47:7)
Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says:
Click to read the lecture - Part 2
All creatures - mankind, Jinn (creatures
created from fire), kings and laymen - are in need of Allaah and all are poor in
relation to Allaah تعالى, for He is the
Ever-Affluent, Ever-Praiseworthy. Thus, helping (in the cause of) Allaah عز وجل, is to support His Shari`ah,
Religion, what He sent His Messenger down with and what He revealed in His
Ever-Glorious Book. When Muslims support Allaah's Religion and His Awliya'
(pious people). Allaah will support them against their enemies and grant them
the good outcome.
فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
"So be patient. Surely, the (good) end
is for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious)."
(Hud
11:49)
