Umm ‘Abdillaah ‘Aaishah Al Waadi’iyyah حفظها الله (daughter
of Sheikh Muqbil bin Haadee رحمه الله) said after the opening du’aa (via
tele-link):
“O sisters, Upon us is
to have mercy upon ourselves. Save yourselves from the Fire. There is no way
out for anyone from the Fitnah that we are in now, except by sticking to what
the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) came with.”
Hadeeth of Abu Najeeh Al ‘Irbaad bin Sariyyah’ (رضي اللّه عنـه):
The Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) admonished us with an intense sermon which caused our hearts
to tremble, and the eyes to shed tears. So, we said: 'Yaa Rasoolallaah (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) this is as if it were your last sermon.'
{Aboo Daawood and others declared it Saheeh}
“There is no way out for anyone except by sticking to the
Sunnah which the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) came with. This holding requires submission, a complete
submission. As believers, it is a must on us. We have to say regarding any
command from Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى and HIS
Messenger (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم), “Sami’naa wa ata’naa,” (We hear and we obey), and
not like the Yahood (Jews) who said, “We hear and we disobey.”
It is not befitting for the believing man nor the believing
woman, when the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) comes with a decision, that they have a choice after him.
“O sisters, the truth is very heavy. Falsehood is light (easy
to accept). It is very heavy, except for those whom Allaah made it easy and
guided them for that.”
Al Hadeeth:
Jannah is surrounded by undesirable things, and
the Fire is surrounded by desires. “O sisters, it is upon us that
we get used to submitting to Allaah.”
Umm ‘Abdillaah (حفظها الله) mentioned a poem:
“Your nafs are always wanting if you make it a habit. If you
control and limit yourself, that is what your nafs will get used to.”
“Do not say ‘why’ to the command of Allaah.” Umm
‘Abdillaah (حفظها الله), gave the example of Salaat by saying; “Pray and get used
to it. We are commanded to Fast, so you must Fast, make Hajj and ‘Umrah. HE, سُبحانه وتعالى, has made certain things compulsory
towards the husband and we do not say why.”
“O sisters, it is up to us to preserve our tongues,
especially because the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) told us the reason why women are the majority in the Hell
Fire. Be more careful than men. Women curse a lot and have many complaints. It
is not a good habit to complain to this sister, that sister, to this one, and
that one. Guard your tongue.”
