💕ISLAMIC THINKING💕

Imam Al-Dhahabi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: ​"If you see the innovator theologian saying: 'Leave aside the Book (Quran) and the Ahadith, and bring us reason (intellect),' then know that he is Abu Jahl..!" ​— [Siyar A'lam al-Nubala (21/129)]

•• Do you think that household expenses, children, medical care, and all these responsibilities would have been saved money in your bank account if you were not married?! ​That is not how it works; divine help comes in proportion to the burden, and sustenance (Rizq) is in the hands of Allah alone. You are merely a means through which Allah delivers provision to your family. ​Whether through you or someone else, the provision Allah decreed for them will reach them. However, Allah granted you the honor of striving for them and spending on them, making their provision pass through your hands. ​So do not look at your responsibilities as something that drains your provision; rather, thank Allah that He made you a means and blessed you with the honor of taking care of your household.

•• ​Does the intellect of those who watch trivial content on social media diminish? ​Al-Ahnaf ibn Qays said: ​"I sit with a fool for an hour, and I immediately notice the negative effect on my own intellect." ​Al-Jahiz said: ​"Do not sit with fools; for in a single day of sitting with them, as much corruption will stick to you as the virtue you would gain from sitting with wise people for an age. Indeed, corruption clings much more firmly to human nature." ​"For those who say: 'We watch, but we aren't affected!'"📜

​« الْوَاجِبُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمَةِ أَنْ تَكُونَ مُؤَثِّرَةً وَأَلَّا تَتَأَثَّرَ بِغَيْرِهَا ، فَأُولَئِكَ أَتْبَاعُ كُلِّ نَاعِقٍ ، وَأَنْتِ دَاعِيَةٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُؤَثِّرِي عَلَى الْمُجْتَمَعِ وَلَا تَتَأَثَّرِي بِالْمُجْتَمَعِ. » — الشيخ مقبل الوادعي رحمه الله ​ ​"It is mandatory upon a Muslim woman to be influential and not to be negatively influenced by others; for those [who are easily influenced] follow every caller. As a caller to Allah, you should influence society rather than let society influence you." — Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi'i (may Allah have mercy on him)

"O people of the scripture, do not commit excess in your religion"

Ibn Taymiyyah did not give the excuse of ignorance ! قال ابن تيمية رحمه الله ومنهم من يطلب من الميت ما يطلب من الله، فيقول: اغفر لي، وارزقني، وانصرني، ونحو ذلك /٢٥أ/ كما يقول المصلي في صلاته لله تعالى، إلى أمثال هذه الأمور التي لا يشك من عرف دين الإسلام أنها مخالفة لدين المرسلين أجمعين، فإنها من الشرك الذي حرمه الله ورسوله، بل من الشرك الذي قاتل عليه الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم المشركين، وأن أصحابها إن كانوا يعذرون (١) بالجهل، وأن الحجة لم تقم عليهم، كما يعذر من لم يبعث إليه رسول، كما قال تعالى: {وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا} [الإسراء: ١٥] وإلا كانوا مستحقين من عقوبة الدنيا والآخرة ما يستحقه أمثالهم من المشركين، قال تعالى: {فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا لِلَّهِ أَنْدَادًا وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ} [البقرة: ٢٢] وفي الحديث: «إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ» .والذين يؤمنون بالرسول، إذا تبين لأحدهم حقيقة ما جاء به الرسول، وتبين أنه مشرك، فإنه يتوب إلى الله، ويجدد إسلامه كتاب قاعدة عظيمة في الفرق بين عبادات أهل الإسلام والإيمان وعبادات أهل الشرك والنفاق ص٧٠ What does Ibn Taymīyyah mean by the excuse of ignorance ? Shaykh Al-Islām ibn Taymīyyah  رحمه الله said: and amongst them are those who ask the dead what they ask from Allah, They say: "Forgive me, provide for me, and assist me and others like this, just like the one who Prays in the Salah to Allah the Almighty, the likes of these matters, There is no doubt to those who know the meaning of islam , that these are contrary to the Religion of all the Messengers, for they are from the Shirk which Allah and his Messenger forbade, rather it is from the Shirk which the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم fought the Mushrikeen, and if the perpetrators are excused by ignorance, and the Hujjah is not established upon them, Just as the ones who never received a Messenger were excused [Ahlul Fitrah], Allah the exalted said: "And we would never punish a people until we have sent a Messenger" [Surah Al Isra verse 15] otherwise they would be deserving of punishment in this world and the hereafter just like the Mushrikeen deserves, Allah the exalted said: "So do not knowingly set up equals to Allah in worship." [Surah Al Baqarah verse 22] and in the hadith, "Shirk in this Ummah is more hidden than the crawling of an ant." And those who believe in the Messenger, if it is explained to one of them the reality of what the Messengers came with, and it is explained that he is a Mushrik, then he repents to Allah and renews his Islam. كتاب قاعدة عظيمة في الفرق بين عبادات أهل الإسلام والإيمان وعبادات أهل الشرك والنفاقpage 70 Notes:So he excuses them the same way ahl fitrah were excused. [Excused of punishment in the Akhirah] Its explained to the Jaahil hes a mushrik And he repents from his shirk and renews his Islam, unlike the Murji'a who say hes a Muslim if he's jaahil and isn't called a mushrik and doesn't need to renew his faith. قال الشيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله: وَقَدْ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ مَا قَبْلَ الرِّسَالَةِ وَمَا بَعْدَهَا فِي أَسْمَاءَ وَأَحْكَامٍ  فَجَعَلَهُمْ مُفْتَرِينَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْكُمَ بِحُكْمِ يُخَالِفُونَهُ؛ لِكَوْنِهِمْ جَعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إلَهًا آخَرَ فَاسْمُ الْمُشْرِكِ ثَبَتَ قَبْلَ الرِّسَالَةِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّهِ وَيَعْدِلُ بِهِ وَيَجْعَلُ مَعَهُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَيَجْعَلُ لَهُ أَنْدادا قبل الرسول ويثبت أن هذه الأسماء مقدم عليها وكذلك اسم الجهل والجاهلية يقال: جاهلية وجاهلا قبل مجيء الرسول وأما التعذيب فلا.  كتاب مجموع الفتاوى ج٢٠ ص٣٧-٣٨ Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyyah (رحمه الله) said: ❝Verily, Allāh separated between what is before the Message and what comes after it in regards to Asmāʾ (labels) and ʾAḥkām (rulings), and also gathered them together. ‎Thus, the label 'Mushrik' is established before the Message (Ḥujjah) due to him performing Shirk with his Lord and setting up with Him another Ilāh and rival before the Messenger. So these Asmāʾ (labels) are established [before the Message]. Likewise, the label of Jahl (ignorance) and Jāhilīyyah, and it is said 'Jāhilīyyah' and 'Jāhil' before the coming of the Messenger. As for punishment, then, no.❞

قال الإمام ابن القيم رحمه الله: "إذا طلعت شمس السنة في قلب العبد؛ قطعت من قلبه ضباب كل بدعة."

Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim May Allāh have mercy upon him said: “When the sun-light of the Sunnah rises in the heart of a slave of Allāh then the smog of all Bid'ah is dispersed from his heart.”

•• و إرزقني الأنس بك يا الله. And grant me the joy of being close to You, O'Allah.🫀🤍

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said: (Giving in to) anxiety (distress, despair, worry) brings no benefit, it causes the loss of reward and makes the calamity feel even greater (doubles it). [Tareeq al-Hijratayn, pg. 218]

﴿ وأقيموا الصلاة وبشر المؤمنين ﴾ "...establish the prayer, and give glad tidings to the believers." {10:87}

كل بشارة، وكل نجاح، وكل فلاح، وكل توفيق، وكل رزق، يأتي بعد الصلاة، أقم صلاتك في حياتك تستقم أمورك، وتصلح شؤونك كلها Every good news, every success, every triumph, every ability and every sustenance comes after salāh. Establish the salāt properly in your life and see how your matters get straightened, and all your affairs rectified. • منقول

The daily prayers provide an escape from the mundanity of life, it's pressures, annoyances and troubles etc. Al-Shātibī (d.850H) said: أن من مقاصد الصلاة الإستراحة من أنكاد الدنيا It is an objective of salāt to (provide a) break from the intrigues of the world. • الموافقات (3/143)

Do not underestimate the value of even a simple good deed. [Seeds of Admonishment and Reform, Ibn al-Jawzi (rahimahullah), pg. 211]

Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn-Taymīyyah رحمه الله said: “A person cannot be labelled ‘intelligent’ until he’s aware of goodness and then seeks it and he’s aware of evil and then abandons it.” 📚:ﻓﻮﺍﺋﺪ ﻣﻨﺘﻘﺎﺓ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻼﻡ ﺷﻴﺦ ﺍﻻﺳﻼﻡ ﻓﻲ ﻛﺘﺎﺑﻪ ﺍﻻﻳﻤﺎﻥ ٢٢

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله: “One of the signs of someone who truly knows Allāh is that they don’t grieve over what they lose, nor do they become overly happy with what they gain. This is because they see everything as temporary and fading away, recognizing that in reality, they are just like shadows and illusions.” 📚: Madārij as-Sālikīn ● 3/318

✅ Basics of learning about Tawheed :

Tawhid is the fundamental concept of monotheism in Islam, encompassing the belief in the oneness of Allah, as stated in the Quran: "Say, 'He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.'" (Quran, Surah Al-Ikhlas, 112:1-4)
