Du’a when Someone Unjustly Witholds Your Rights, Oppresses You, Harms You, Causes Pain or Difficulty for You — From Tafseer of Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah) - al-Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullah) commented: One should not invoke Allah against whoever wronged him. Rather, he should supplicate (and say), اللهم أعني عليه و استخرج حقى منه Allahumma Aa-‘Innee Alayh wa Astakhrij Haqqa Minhh O Allah! Help me over/against him and take my right from him In another narration, al-Hasan (rahimahullah) said: Allah has allowed (every)one to invoke Him against whoever wronged him without transgressing the limits. [Tafseer Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah), Surah An-Nisa, Ayah 148]

⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ ✨ Repentance and Hope ✨ In last week's post we read about- Scholars outline four conditions for genuine repentance: 1. Feel remorse for the mistake. 2. Stop committing the mistake, especially if it's habitual. 3. Sincerely determine not to repeat the mistake. 4. If the mistake involves others' rights, restore what is owed to them. A sincere repentant must meet these four conditions. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized remorse as key to repentance, stating, “Remorse is repentance.” Continuing the mistake while claiming repentance is hypocritical. Post #5 🌻 The third condition is to have a sincere determination never to repeat the same mistake in the future. One cannot feel regret about a mistake and give it up, while having an intention to commit the mistake again in the near or far future. But if it happens that – God forbid – one falls in the same error again, the only way out is to repeat the same process again, that is to renew the repentance, renew remorse and regret, and decide not to fall again. And so on. One must know that Allah is Most Forgiving and Most Merciful. God does not mind accepting one’s (sincere) repentance again and again. On the contrary, God is ‘happy’ when His servant repents to Him, as the Prophet said.

اَلسَّـــــلامُ عَلَــيــْكُمْ وَرَحْمَـــةُاللهِ وَبَرَكَــاتُهُ🌸 أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ 🌸 🎗️ THE BEST WAY TO SEEK FORGIVENESS 💎 Brief Commentary 🌸• We are asking the Almighty by His Greatest Name (according to many scholars): the name “Allah” itself which means the One who is adored and worshipped. 🌸• We are asking Him through (also known as tawassul in Arabic) His Oneness and His Lordship: He is our Sole Master, the One who created us, provides for us and manages our affairs. 🌸• To further reiterate Allah’s Lordship over us, we remind ourselves that He is the one who created us, so we are His slaves and must worship Him as He commands. Thus, we acknowledge our servitude to Him. 🌸• After acknowledging Allah’s superiority over us, we move on to how we are supposed to interact with Him: trying to fulfil our pledge to Him. 🌸• Our “pledge” to Allah is the pledge we made when we were taken out from the back of Ādam (ʿalayhis-salām) as Allah mentions in the Qur’ān, “And when your Lord took out the offspring from the loins of the Children of Ādam and made them bear witness about themselves, He said, ‘Am I not your Lord?’ and they replied, ‘Yes, we bear witness’ (7:172). 🌸• Allah’s “covenant” to us is the one mentioned in the ḥadīth narrated by Muʿādh b. Jabal (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu), which is that Allah will not punish the person who does not associate any partners with Him (Bukhārī 7373). 🌸• By highlighting that we will keep our pledge “to the best of my ability”, we acknowledge our weakness and shortcomings towards Allah, as we will never be able to worship Him and thank Him as He truly deserves. 🌸• We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our actions as they could lead us to be punished. Similarly, we seek protection from further misguidance, as the punishment of a sin is to be deprived from doing good deeds. 🌸• By acknowledging Allah’s blessings over us, we feel more shame to disobey Him. 🌸• Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) beautifully explains this part of the du‘ā’: “The words “I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me and I admit my sins” combine the recognition of divine favours with the awareness of the defects of the human soul and its deeds. The perception of Allah’s favours leads one to love, praise and thank Him. The awareness of the soul’s defects leads one to be humble, need Allah and turn to Him in repentance at every moment. Thus, the ‘ārif (one who has attained Allah’s recognition) journeys towards Him on these two wings: awareness of his own faults and recognition of his Lord’s grace. He cannot journey without them, and if he loses one, he would be like a bird that has lost a wing.” 🌸• All of what was mentioned so far in this duʿā’ is just a preparation for the last part, which is to ask Allah for forgiveness. 🌸• We end this duʿā’ by saying, “Forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Your Lord, Most High, is pleased with His servant when he says: “Forgive me my sins.” He knows that no one forgives sins except Him” (Abū Dāwūd). ❍┈─┅═••࿇✠ ࿇••┅─┄❍ WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - https://chat.whatsapp.com/GMmLlVv3SL1IZOMvGn2LU9 Telegram - https://T.me/Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==1

🔹Ibn 'Abbas reported that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fasted on the day of 'Ashura and commanded that it should he observed as a fast, they (his Companions) said to him: Messenger of Allah, it is a day which the Jews and Christians hold in high esteem. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When the next year comes, God willing, we would observe fast on the 9th But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) died before the advent of the next year.

⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ ✨ Repentance and Hope✨ In last week's post we read about Ibn `Ataa’ emphasizing that true repentance should be accompanied by hope in Allah. He explains that if making a mistake diminishes your hope in Allah, it indicates you are relying more on your own deeds rather than on Allah’s Mercy. To genuinely rely on Allah, avoid self-righteousness and remember that virtue is not achieved by your efforts alone. Consistent hope in Allah, even when you err, signifies true reliance on His Mercy. Post #4 🌻 Scholars counted four conditions for a correct repentance: 1. One should feel remorse for the mistake he/she made. 2. One should stop making the mistake, if it is a continuing habit. 3. One should have a sincere determination not to repeat the same mistake in the future. 4. If the mistake has to do with people’s rights, one has to give back to people what one owes them. A sincere repentant has to meet these four conditions. The first condition is feeling sorry for the mistake. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Remorse is repentance“. (Reported by Ibn Hibban and Ibn Majah.) The second condition is to refrain from committing the mistake itself, because it takes a hypocrite to continue with the mistake while claiming repentance from it, doesn’t it?
