Wish for one more deed!!

Sheikh Al-Uthaimeen رحمه الله تعالى:

“Let every single one of us know that there will come a day where we would wish that our books had one extra good deed or one less sin. And that Day is NOT far away at all..."

Do not hastily get up after salaah!

Sheikh Abdul-Aziz ibn Baz رحمه الله mentioned:

“The sitting after the taslim in the prescribed prayers is from the most important times, in which the mercy of Allaah descends (upon his slaves). Do not hastily get up, rather seek forgiveness from Allaah, glorify Him, praise Him, and magnify Him.”

Ibn Baṭṭal رحمه الله said:

"Whoever has many sins and desires that Allaah remove these sins from him without burdening himself, then let him seize this opportunity and remain seated in his place after the prayer, so that he may take advantage of the supplications from the Angels and their asking forgiveness for him."

The Firm Supplication

‘Abdullāh ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله تعالى عنه said:

“Indeed Allāh does not accept from the one who recites to be heard, nor from the insincere, nor from the one playing, nor the supplicant except for the one who supplicates with a firm supplication from his heart.”

(Az-Zuhd of Ibn al-Mubārak 83)

Sheikh Dr. ‘Abdur-Razzāq al-Badr, may Allāh preserve him, said:

“The firm supplication is the one emerging from heart because Allāh does not accept the supplication from a heedless heart as it has come in the Hadīth:

‘Supplicate to Allāh while you are certain of an answer and know that Allāh does not answer the supplication from a heedless inattentive heart.’

Treating others kindly

The person who treats others kindly and thinks well of them, will find that his intention will remain true, he will feel at ease, his heart will be sound and Allaah will protect him from evil and calamity.

[Ibnul-Qayyim رحمه الله تعالى, Madarij al-Salikeen, 2/511]

Many are Negligent of this Narration

 The Messenger ﷺ said:

Whoever's worries & anxieties increase, it is upon him to increase in the statement....

لا حول و لا قوة الا بالله

There is no strength or might for me, except with Allaah.

Plague is a means of martyrdom

Souls Cannot Be Purified Until They Are Put to The Test

️[Admonition By Imaam Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله تعالى]

[Source: An Excerpt from ‘Al-Fawaa’id’ pages 293-300. slightly paraphrased]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله تعالى said: The souls will not be purified and upright until they are put to test through afflictions.

Shaikh-ul-Islaam ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله تعالى said: 

Allaah سبحانه و تعالى said:

الٓمٓ (١) أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتۡرَكُوٓاْ أَن يَقُولُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمۡ لَا يُفۡتَنُونَ (٢)وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ‌ۖ فَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱلۡكَـٰذِبِينَ (٣) أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَسۡبِقُونَا‌ۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ (٤) مَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ لِقَآءَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ لَأَتٍ۬‌ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ (٥) وَمَن جَـٰهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَـٰهِدُ لِنَفۡسِهِۦۤ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِىٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (٦) وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمۡ وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلَّذِى كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ (٧) وَوَصَّيۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٲلِدَيۡهِ حُسۡنً۬ا‌ۖ وَإِن جَـٰهَدَاكَ لِتُشۡرِكَ بِى مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌ۬ فَلَا تُطِعۡهُمَآ‌ۚ إِلَىَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ (٨) وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَنُدۡخِلَنَّهُمۡ فِى ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ (٩) وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ فَإِذَآ أُوذِىَ فِى ٱللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتۡنَةَ ٱلنَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٮِٕن جَآءَ نَصۡرٌ۬ مِّن رَّبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا ڪُنَّا مَعَكُمۡ‌ۚ أَوَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَعۡلَمَ بِمَا فِى صُدُورِ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (١٠) وَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ ٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقِينَ (١١)

Alif-Lam-Mim. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: “We believe,” and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allaah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars; Or those who do evil deeds think that they can outstrip Us (i.e. escape Our Punishment)? Evil is that which they judge! Whoever hopes for the Meeting with Allaah, then Allaah’s Term is surely coming. and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, Allaah is free of all wants from the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists). Those who believe [in the Oneness of Allaah (Monotheism) and in Messenger Muhammad, and do not apostate because of the harm they receive from the polytheists], and do righteous good deeds, surely, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall reward them according to the best of that which they used to do.

Never Leave Off Making Dua

Ibn ‘Uyaynah (رحمه الله) said:

“Don’t ever leave off making du’a nor allow what [bad deeds] you commit to prevent you from it, for indeed Allaah answered the du’a of Iblees (the Devil) and he is the most evil of creation [when he said to Allaah] “‘Grant me respite until the Day in which they will be resurrected.’ He (Allaah) said, ‘Indeed you are from those who are granted respite.’ ”

[Al-Araf:14-15]“
