Trials & Tribulations

Why Should We Face Trials And Tribulations Confidently?

 “No calamity befalls, but with the Leave [i.e. decision and Qadar (Divine Preordainments)] of Allaah, and whosoever believes in Allaah, He guides his heart [to the true Faith with certainty, i.e. what has befallen him was already written for him by Allaah from the Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], and Allah is the All-Knower of everything.”

 Allaah سبحانه و تعالى says:

(No calamity befalls, but by the Leave decision and Qadar of Allaah). This takes account of all calamities that may touch one’s self, wealth, children, loved ones, and so forth. All that touches the slaves happens by Allaah’s decision and destiny. His knowledge has encompassed all this beforehand; His Pen recorded it, His decree appointed it, His wisdom dictated it.

The heart of the matter is, would the slave fulfil their mission here or not? One who does will earn the handsome reward and the beautiful compensation in this and the Last Life. When one believes that calamities are ordained by Allaah, feels content, and submits to Allaah’s decision, Allaah will guide his or her heart. They will then be tranquil and not prone to anxiety when calamities befall, unlike those whose hearts Allaah did not guide. Allaah will also grant them firmness when calamities come, and therefore, they will fulfil the requirements of patience. As a consequence they will earn immediate reward along with the reward that Allaah will keep for them for the Day of Recompense just as he stated, 

 إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
سورة الزمر - ٣٩:١٠

“Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning.”

A Powerful Reminder - (poem)

Coronavirus concerns? Colorado Health Emergency line is available ...

“Dear humanity,

I don’t think I need to introduce myself. The whole world is talking about me, in lock down because of me, and in perpetual stress because of me. Unlike most of you, I don’t have time to waste, so I’ll get straight to the point and share with you things about myself which the media will not cover. 

I do not differentiate between people; young or old, sick or healthy, practicing or otherwise. Don’t accuse me of harshness. I’m simply following the orders of the Supreme Lord who released me. 

I’m the one who has busied tyrannical governments from furthering their oppression of their Muslim minorities. I am the one who has humbled the pharaohs of the 21st century and snapped the spine of arrogance in every one of them. I am the one who closed the venues of alcohol, fornication, gambling, smoke and terrified every user of interest. I am the one who harasses the disbeliever behind closed doors as he now questions everything he ever stood for. I am the one who struck fear into the heart of every sinner and cornered him into regret. I am the reminder that moral decay cannot go without retribution. I am proud of this, I don’t apologize for it, and shame on the hard hearts of humanity for needing me as their reminder.

What a beautiful statement🔆

Sheikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [رحمه الله] narrated,

A man once asked one of the Salaf: 
How much Qur’an should we read?                

He replied: Equivalent to the amount of happiness you are looking for.

Navigating Trials & Tribulations 

(Corona Virus)

The Corona Virus: Wisdom, Cause & Solution as prescribed by The Qur’ān & Sunnah

Our Shaykh Abu Bilaal Al-Hadhramy (may Allaah preserve him)
~stated on 21st Rajab1441 (16th March 2020):

Wisdom: "Indeed Allaah does not send down a plague except in order for the slave to return, repent and start again."

《وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
And We have certainly sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with loss of wealth and loss of health so they would humble themselves [to Us in supplication].

فَلَوْلَآ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا۟ وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ 
Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.

فَلَمَّا نَسُوا۟ مَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَٰبَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَرِحُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتُوٓا۟ أَخَذْنَٰهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ
So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair.

Sheikh AbdulAziz al-Rajihi’s Advice to the People regarding the Corona virus is:
  • to return to Allaah the Exalted in repentance and in supplication, and;
  • by displaying submission and humility before Him, and;
  • by putting one’s trust unto Him, and;
  • by taking the means for precaution for verily Tawakul upon Allaah necessitates reliance upon Him, the Exalted, along with taking the necessary means."

Power of Allaah

 Image result for epidemic

This is the Power of Allaah
No guns, no bombs, no noise…
One virus, one disease..
And the world has been
Brought to a standstill,
Brought down on its knees,
This is all it took
For me and you
To realize how
Powerless we truly are..
Will you then deny?
Deny that you will
be brought back to
Him!!!

Islaamic perspective during an Epidemic

 Image result for epidemic

Naseeha by: Umm Hyatt حفظها الله

Suhaib reported that Allaah's Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم said: Strange are the ways of a believer, for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer... for if he was blessed with delight and goodness that which brought him pleasure, he is thankful - thus there is good for him in it....

....and when he is tested with difficulty, hardship and affliction and shows resignation (i.e. endures it patiently while expecting a reward from Allaah سبحانه و تعالى)... then there is good for him in it! And this affair is only for the believer!!

Graded: Authentic

📌 *Benefits from the hadeeth*

The true believer is always in the blessings of His Caretaker, Allaah سبحانه و تعالى, whether he was granted that which he loves or afficted with that which he disliked.


Don't Fear Death!

Image result for corona virus

Sheikh Muhammad ba Jamaal حفظه الله said in the Dars (lesson) yesterday:

"Don't fear death!! Death will reach you wherever you are. What you have to fear is being in the state of disbelief and disobedience when death approaches you. If Allaah has written your death and you are upon His obedience, you will be saved from the greatest of losses (Hell-Fire). Therefore, I advise my brothers not to leave off the worship of Allaah in the Masjid but to increase in worship, dua and obedience."

Note: (Praying in Masjid if you are permitted to do so in the country you reside in due to the spread of the virus)

(Sheikh from Sayoon, Yemen)
