How the Jinn can overpower & possess your precious children!

WARNING TO PARENTS

From the means by which a Jinn can overpower and possess the children

Sheikh Ibn al-`Uthaimeen رحمه الله said:

❝Some of the foolish, ignorant people, lacking intelligence, scare their small innocent children and frighten them by saying: so-and-so will come (and take you), or so-and-so will (do such-and-such to you). So the child gets scared and this fear and anxiety remains in his heart, and this becomes permanent in his heart so that he is constantly in anxiety, fear and distress.

Sometimes it is the father who scares his son and sometimes it is the mother who scares her son and daughter.

But the most foolish ones are those who tell us that the when a child does something wrong (then as punishment) he should be locked inside his room, alone. And even when he shouts and screams they do not feel sorry for him nor do they open the door.

And this is one of the means by which a Jinn overpowers (and possesses) the child. This was conveyed by one of the Jinns who had possessed a child and said that he entered in him when his father had locked him inside the room, and he began to shout and scream, and that's when he possessed him.

EXCELLENCE of THIKR

Verily, Thikr brings light to:

*the heart….

*the face….

*the limbs...

It is also the light of the servant:

*In this life

*In the grave; and

*On the Day of Judgement

Advice to he who has lost the blessings in his Time

 One of the Salaf said:

'Everytime I increase my part of the Qur'aan (that I recite) the blessings in my time increase; and I didn't stop adding to my part until it reached ten parts (of the thirty parts that the Qur'aan is made of)'.

Ibrahem bin AbdilWaahid al-Maqdasi رحمه الله تعالى said advising ad-Diyaa al-Maqdasi when he desired to travel for knowledge: ⤵

*"Be plentiful in reciting the Qur'aan and do not leave it off; for surely it will make easy that which you seek according to amount that you read."

So, whenever I recited a lot, I found that hearing and writing Hadeeth became much more, and if I didn't read it, it would not be made easy for me'.

If you see yourself deteriorating....???

** Umm Hyatt حفظها الله **

“If you see yourself deteriorating: ✔Pick yourself up by repenting & seeking Allaah سبحانه و تعالى’s forgiveness; ✔By asking Him to keep you firm!! 
 
DON'T become careless, and neither say:

“InshaaAllaah, my Eemaan will become stronger...” 
(without doing anything about it). 

Instead from right now —

from the moment you feel that you are ill —

you MUST implement the cure.”

*Sheikh Ibn ‘Uthaimīn رحمه الله تعالى

The days of the son of Aadam...

** Umm Hyatt حفظها الله **

The son of Aadam is afflicted with three things each day:

*Everyday he gets older;
*Everyday he gets a portion closer to the next life;
*Everyday he eats from Allaah's provisions..!

Oh Allaah! 

Don't make this life our biggest concern nor the Hellfire our last destination!

Our days are of three kinds:

*Yesterday…will never return!
*Today…your living it..it won't remain!
☀Tomorrow, you don't know what you will gain...!

** I……..YOU…… THEM...
*We are all travellers… So… .. ✈
*PARDON…
*OVERLOOK… *FORGIVE…

Make your needs work out by being discreet

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

 
استعينوا على إنجاح الحوائج بالكتمان ، فإن كل ذي نعمة محسود

"Seek help in making your needs work out by being discreet, for everyone who is blessed is envied."

As-Silsilaah As-Saheehah: 3/436

(Graded as Saheeh by Sheikh Al-alBaani رحمه الله)

Your Behaviour ...!!

 

Sufyan Ath-Thawri [رحمه الله] said:

"Behave well in your private life and Allaah سبحانه و تعالى will make your public life excellent.

Take care of what is between you and Allaah, and He will take care of what is between you and the people.

 
Work for your Hereafter and Allaah will suffice your affairs in this world.
 

Sell your worldly life for your Hereafter and you will profit in them both together, and do not sell your Hereafter for your worldly life or you will lose them both together."

Advices regarding Memorization of Ahadeeth & Manners of attending Duroos

 

An Advice from our Sheikh Muhammad Hizaam al-Ba’daani (حفظه الله) on the method of gaining perfection in that which one studies.

 

Question:
What is the best method to perfect what one has learned from the various branches like Aqeedah, Fiqh, Nahw and Mustalah?

 

Answer :

**The BEST way is to learn at the hands of a teacher, yes, from one who will benefit you in that segment and do not come out of a lesson except that you have comprehended it.

✔If you haven’t gained comprehension, then ask the teacher until you do and likewise examine yourself with the brothers and revise but do not move onto the next until you have understood the first.

✔Also one must memorize the evidences, if he is able to. Memorize the evidences from the Kitaab and the Sunnah, and the issues, from Fiqh & Aqeedah, connected to it along with its evidences.

✔Then, also, revise the lessons that were taken. For example, everyday, revise the previous lesson before attending the next.

✖Do not attend a lesson except that the one before it has been revised

✔Revise the benefits and at the end of the week repeat what you’ve gone through during the whole week along with memorizing the evidences of that which it contained.

 

Question :
What is the best method to revise Ahadeeth and Mutoon which are being memorized?

Who decides our Welfare?

Our welfare is not decided by who will be the next president of the US or any other nation.

Our welfare is not decided by who supports us and who is against us.

Our welfare is not decided by the “numbers”.

OUR WELFARE IS ONLY THROUGH ISLAAM;
THROUGH REAL OBEDIENCE TO ALLAAH;
THROUGH RETURNING BACK TO HIS BOOK &

THE SUNNAH OF HIS MESSENGER صلى الله عليه وسلم

`Umar رضي الله عنه said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"By this Book (i.e. the Qur’aan), Allaah exalts some peoples and degrade others."
[Saheeh Muslim]

Our honor is in following Islaam. `Umar Ibn al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه set out for al-Shaam with Abu `Ubaydah bin al-Jarraah رضي الله عنه. On the way, they came upon a deep creek (which they needed to cross). So `Umar came down off his camel, took off his sandals and carried them on his shoulders. Then he took the reign of the camel and began plowing through the water. Abu `Ubaydah said: “O Ameer al-Mu’mineen! You are doing this - you took off your sandals and carry them on your shoulders while you cross the creek? I fear that the people of the village will think of you without honor.” 

`Umar replied:

"Oh Abu `Ubaydah! Had someone other than you made such a statement, I would have made him an example for the Ummah of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم (i.e. he would have punished him). Verily, we were a disgraceful people and Allaah honored us with Islaam, so if we seek honor from other than Islaam, then Allaah will humiliate us."

[Al-Haakim in his Al-Mustadrak (207) and said it is “Saheeh” as per the condition of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim, and al-Dhahabee agreed with him. Shaikh al-Albaanee also agreed with them in al-Saheehah (1/118)]

Our honor is in being sincere Muslims:

Miracle of the Crying of the Tree Trunk

From the website of Dr. Saleh as-Saleh رحمه الله تعالى

[Below is a portion from the book “Miracles of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه  سلم)" regarding the remembrance of Allaah. This miracle occurred when Rasulullaah moved from the tree trunk to the newly made pulpit to give the Khutbah. Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه و سلم used to lean against the tree trunk but when he left for the pulpit it cried out loud like a child for it would no longer be in the company of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and hear the remembrance of Allaah (azzawajal).

You can read the detailed story and hadith in chapter 6 page 105 in the book “Miracles of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم)”]

There was also another reason for the weeping of the tree trunk and this was made clear by the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم when he said to his Companions: “It wept because of the remembrance of Allaah (Dhikr) which it used to hear.”

So, the tree trunk also used to hear remembrance of Allaah from the mouth of the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and Allaah سبحانه و تعالى says regarding remembrance of Him:

 “Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allaah Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allaah verily, in the remembrance of Allaah do hearts find rest."

Therefore, it is not surprising that the tree trunk cried for that which brought tranquility to it. Haply, we may learn from this lifeless thing to love the remembrance of Allaah and to accustom ourselves to it.

The word Dhikr means to remember something through constant verbal repetition of it.

So, if a person were to constantly repeat the Names of Allaah for example he would be remembering Allaah; and due to the great need of man for remembrance of Allaah, He has encouraged us to do it, in His Words:

“He said: ‘O my Lord! Make a sign for me.’ (Allaah) said: ‘Your sign is that you shall not speak to mankind for three days except with signals. And remember your Lord much (by praising Him again and again), and glorify (Him) in the afternoon and in the morning.”
