Sheikh Muammad Ibn āli al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

"Success is not attaining something from the dunya, (real) success is to be saved from Hellfire and entering Jannah."

"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."

Rejecting The Truth

قال شيخ الإسلام (رحمه الله) فإن الإنسان قد يعرف أن الحق مع غيره ومع هذا يجحد ذلك لحسده إياه, أو لطلب علوه عليه أو لهوى النفس, ويحمله ذلك الهوى على أن يعتدي عليه ويرد ما يقول بكل طريق وهو في قلبه يعلم أن الحق معه

 
**Sheikh-ul-Islaam (رحمه الله تعالى):

"So indeed a person may know that the truth is with other than him and, in spite of this, he rejects that due to his envy of him or due to seeking to be above him or due to the desire of the soul. And that desire causes him to transgress against him, reject that which he says by any way whilst in his heart, he knows that the truth is with him."

The virtues of Qur'aan

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:

Abu Bakr As-Siddiq sent for me when the people of Yamama had been killed (i.e., a number of the Prophet’s Companions who fought against Musailama).
 
(I went to him) and found ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab sitting with him. Abu Bakr then said (to me), “Umar has come to me and said: “Casualties were heavy among the Qurra’ of the! Qur'aan (i.e. those who knew the Quran by heart) on the day of the Battle of Yalmama, and I am afraid that more heavy casualties may take place among the Qurra’ on other battlefields, whereby a large part of the Qur'aan may be lost. Therefore I suggest, you (Abu Bakr) order that the Qur'aan be collected.”

I said to ‘Umar, “How can you do something which Allaah’s Apostle did not do?


‘Umar said, “By Allaah, that is a good project. “Umar kept on urging me to accept his proposal till Allaah opened my chest for it and I began to realize the good in the idea which ‘Umar had realized.”
 
Then Abu Bakr said (to me). ‘You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allaah’s Apostle. So you should search for (the fragmentary scripts of) the Qur'aan and collect it in one book).”
 
By Allaah If they had ordered me to shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'aan.

Then I said to Abu Bakr, “How will you do something which Allaah’s Apostle did not do?

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.

Advice to he who has lost the blessings in his Time

Image result for time is running out
 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....???

Image result for wilting flowers
** 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
