When the trials and tribulations fall, hold on to the Sunnah, observe silence, and don't get involved in that which does not directly concern you. And that which is problematic for you, return it back to Allah and His Messenger (salAllahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam), and stop and say: “Allah knows best." [Imam adh-Dhahabee (rahimahullah), Siyaar A'laam an-Nubalaa 20/141]

Ibn Qudamah: *“..Some fear that they may commit prohibited things if they do not get married. Such a person is obliged to get married, according to the majority of jurists, because he has to keep himself chaste and protect himself against engaging in prohibited actions, and the way to do that is getting married..”* Mughni 9/341

#tawḥīd Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm Āl ash-Shaykh said: So whoever calls upon a prophet or a walī besides Allah has taken him as a god, and has resembled the Jews and the Christians in their shirk. [Sharḥ Kitāb at-Tawḥīd by Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm 2/170]

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said: It is not a matter of you loving Allah; Rather, the matter is that Allah loves you. and Allah does not love you unless you follow His beloved (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), outwardly and inwardly (in what is apparent and what is hidden). [Madarij as-Salikeen, 3/39, Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)]

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah): And of the diseases that afflict du’a and prevent its response is that a person is hasty in expecting a response (for his du’a), and the response is delayed, so he gives up hope, and leaves du’a. His example is like that of a person who planted a seed, or a seedling, then guarded it, and took care of it, and watered it, but when it delayed in (giving its fruit) and reaching perfection, he left it and did not take care of it anymore! [al-Jawab al-Kafi, pg. 10, Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)]

*لا إله إلا الله* *قال ابن رجب رحمه الله :* *فمن حَصَلَ له العلمُ التامُّ واليقينُ والصدقُ والإخلاصُ لله والمحبةُ لما دَلَّت عليه هذه الكلمةُ العظيمةُ، هل تراه يُصِرُّ على شيءٍ من المعاصي؟!* *[شرح كلمة الإخلاص(٤٩)]* *لا إله إلا الله* *“There is no god worthy of worship except Allah”* Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said: > Whoever attains complete knowledge, certainty, truthfulness, and sincerity to Allah, and love for what this great word indicates - do you think he would persist in any of the sins?! [Sharh Kalimah al-Ikhlas 49]

🔸 *Don’t Corrupt Your Children*

*قال السعدي - رحمه الله - :* *الدعاء للشخص من أدل الدلائل على محبته، لأنه لا يدعو إلا لمن يحبه .* *[ تيسير الكريم الرحمـن٧٣٢].* *As-Sa'di رحمه الله said:* "Supplicating for a person is one of the clearest proofs of loving him, because a person only makes du'a for those whom he loves." _[Tayseer al-Kareem ar-Rahmaan 732]_

*KNOW THE TRUE WORTH OF WOMEN* It is upon the husband to fear Allāh, to know the true worth of their women, and it is upon them to adorn themselves with (the character) of having respect for their women, especially in front of the children. *Book: A Message Exclusively to the Husbands* By Shaykh Abū Furayhān Jamāl Ibn Furayhān al-Hārithī Translated by Anwar Wright and Isa Underdue Hikmah Publications P. 48

Hasan al-Basri (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said, "Love others moderately and hate others moderately. Some people were extreme in their love of others and were destroyed by it, and some people were extreme in their hatred of others and were destroyed by it. Do not be extreme in your love and do not be extreme in your hatred. Whoever finds his brother sinning beneath a veil should not expose him. Do not spy on your brother, for you have been prohibited from spying. Do not abandon him and do not alienate him." 📚 Al-Zuhd wal-Raqā'iq #651

*كيف يتعرف العبد على ربه؟* *قال ابن عثيمين رحمه الله :* *يتعرف العبد على ربه بالنظر في الآيات الشرعية في كتاب الله عز وجل وسنة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم، والنظر في الآيات الكونية التي هي المخلوقات، فإن الإنسان كلما نظر في تلك الآيات ازداد علماً بخالقه ومعبوده* . *[شرح ثلاثة الأصول(١٩) ]* *How does a servant come to know his Lord?* Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn, may Allah have mercy on him, said: _A servant comes to know his Lord by looking at the legislative verses in the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, and by looking at the universal verses which are the created things. For indeed, whenever a person looks at those verses, his knowledge of his Creator and his True Deity increases._ 📚 [Sharh Thalathat al-Usool, p. 19]

REMINDER: FASTING AL-AYYĀM AL-BĪD (THE WHITE DAYS) FOR MUHARRAM 1448AH The white days of the month refer to the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month. The moon is at its fullest and most luminous during this period. Fasting on these days is sunnah, mentioned in various hadith. Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said to me: "If you fast any part of the month, then fast the 13th, 14th, and 15th." {An-Nasai #2424} Abdullāh ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As said: The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said to me: "It is sufficient for you to fast three days every month because, for every good deed, you will have ˹the reward of˺ ten like it, so that will be like fasting for a lifetime." {Al-Bukhārī #1874} Abu Hurayrah said: "My close friend (the Prophet ﷺ) advised me to do three things which I will not give up until I die: fasting three days of each month, praying Duha, and sleeping after Witr." {Muslim #721} It is also worth noting that the month of Muharram is the best month for fasting after Ramadān, as the Prophet ﷺ said: "The best fasting after Ramadān is fasting in the month of ALLĀH, Muḥarram." {Muslim #1163} Combining the virtue of Muharram with the Sunnah of the White Days makes these days even more significant. Therefore, be keen, be mindful, and eager to take advantage of these blessed opportunities. FASTING DATES: 28th (Sunday), 29th (Monday) and 30th (Tuesday) of June in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia And, 29th (Monday), 30th (Tuesday) of June and 1st (Wednesday) of July South Africa. NB: Please confirm the dates with your local Islamic Centres if your country is not listed. Also Read: The Excellence of Fasting Three Days Every Month http://bio.link/albaseerah

BENEFIT 80: REGARDING THE WEARING OF RINGS ۞ Benefit: A woman may wear a ring on whichever finger she wishes. This is unlike a man, who is prohibited from wearing a ring on the middle finger and the index finger. In Sahih Muslim (2078), it is narrated from Alī (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ forbade me from wearing a ring on this finger or this finger," and he pointed to the middle finger and the one next to it (the index finger). (¹) 📖 Sahih Fiqhus-Sunnah wa Adillatuhu (3/65) Reference: (¹) Authentic (Sahih): Reported by Muslim (2078), at-Tirmidhi (1786), an-Nasa’i (5210), and Abu Dawud (4225). https://t.me/fiqh_Benefits ۞ فائدة: يجوز للمرأة أن تلبس الخاتم في إصبع شاءت، بخلاف الرجل فإنه ينهى عن التختم في الأصبع الوسطى والسبابة. ففي صحيح مسلم (٢٠٧٨) عن عليٍّ قال:"نهاني رسول الله ﷺ أن أتختم في أصبعي هذه أو هذه فأومأ إلى الوسطى والتي تليها" (١). 📖 صحيح فقه السنة وأدلته (٣/٦٥) (١) صحيح: أخرجه مسلم (٢٠٧٨)، والترمذي (١٧٨٦)، والنسائي (٥٢١٠)، وأبو داود (٤٢٢٥). http://bio.link/albaseerah
