💕ISLAMIC THINKING💕

The Prophet [ﷺ] said: ❝The angel on the left raises his pen from [writing] the sin of a Muslim for 6 hours. If he regrets it and seeks Allah’s forgiveness, the angel will throw it aside. Otherwise he will record it as one sin.❞ [Al-Albani In Sahih Al-Jami, (No. 2097) @ThinkingsOfIslam

Islām is a favour upon you! Allāh says in the Qur'ān: «يمنون عليك أن أسلموا قل لا تمنوا علي إسلامكم بل الله يمن عليكم أن هداكم للإيمان إن كنتم صادقين» “They regard as favour upon you (O Muḥammad ﷺ) that they have embraced Islām. Say: 'Count not your Islām as a favour upon me. Nay, but Allāh has conferred a favour upon you, that He has guided you to the Faith, if you indeed are true.'" [Al-Ḥujarāt, 49:17] —— Ibn Kathīr رحمه الله comments: «فإن نفع ذلك إنما يعود عليكم، ولله المنة عليكم فيه» "For indeed, the benefit of that (i.e. you accepting Islām) is for you (not the Prophet ﷺ), and it is a favour from Allāh upon you." [تفسير ابن كثير • سورة الحجرات آية ١٧] —— And ʿUmar رضي الله عنه said: «إنا كنا أذل قوم فأعزنا الله بالإسلام فمهما نطلب العزة بغير ما أعزنا الله به أذلنا الله» “Verily, we were a disgraceful people and Allāh honoured us with Islām. If we seek honour from anything besides that with which Allāh honoured us, Allah will disgrace us.” [المستدرك على الصحيحين • ٢٠٧]

موانع الاتباع⛔️ يقول شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية -رحمه الله-: ‌‏ «الذي يمنعُ الإنسانَ من اتّباع الرسول ﷺ شيئان: ‌‏إما الجهلُ وإما فسادُ القصد» ‌‏ 📚مجموع الفتاوى (٩٣/١٥) ┈┉┅━━┅┉┈ Shaikh Ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (May Allaah have mercy on him) said: ‌«The one that prevents the people from following the Messenger of Allaah has two things: Either ignorance or corruption in intention» 📚Majmooa Al-Fatawa (93/15)

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "I certainly know people of my ummah who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like mountains of Tihaamah, but Allah will make them like scattered dust.” "As when they are alone, transgress the sacred limits of Allah."

•Do Not Be Amazed by your Actions• قال ابن عثيمين رحمه الله Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said مهما عملت من الأعمال الصالحة... No matter what you do from righteous actions ... لا تعجب بعملك; Do not be amazed by your actions; فعملك قليل بالنسبة لحق الله عليك For your actions are little compared to the right of Allah upon you [‏شرح رياض الصالحين 575/1]

قال التابعي الشامي الواعظ بلال بن سعد : ‏استحيوا من الله ، واحذروا الله ، ولا تأمنوا مكر الله ‏ ‏ولا تقنطوا من رحمة الله ‏[ البيهقي في الشعب٧٧٠ ] The Tabi’ee Bilal bin Saad said: Be shy of Allaah, be careful and fear Allaah, and do not feel safe from the plan of Allaah, …And do not lose hope in the compassion of Allaah.

What’s stopping you? 💰✨ ‏قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي: أنت جالِس،ما الذي يمنعك أن تقول: سبحان الله والحمدلله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر سبحان الله وبحمده،سبحان الله العظيم.. ماالذي يمنعك؟ لا حائل يحول بينك وبين ذلك،ولا تحتاج لأن تقوم،ولاتحتاج لأن تتوضأ،ما تحتاج إلى شيء مِن أسهل ما يكون. (شرح الوصية )📚 Shaykh Sulayman Al Ruhayli said : While you are sitting, what is preventing you from saying: SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah La ilaha illa Allah Allahuakbar SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi SubhanAllahil Al Adheem What is stopping you? There is nothing coming between you and it (Dhikr), it doesn’t even require for you to get up, nor make Wudu (ablution), or anything else. It is as easy as can be. ---

🔵𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐧!! Among the most compelling contemporary challenges, are the alarmingly increasing temptations to compromise on one’s basic beliefs. When a person loses focus of what is important in his/her life, then to sell off the most valuable asset becomes easy. In so doing, he/she is the biggest loser. 🔷Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) reports that Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: ‘Be quick in increasing your good deeds, before such trials arrive, in which a person who was a believer in the morning will become a kafir (non-believer) by the evening, or he who was a believer in the evening would become a non-believer by the morning; because of him selling his din (religion) in exchange of the acquisitions of the world.’ (Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 309) 🔷𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 ‘Selling one’s religion has two forms’. ▪️‘Formally renouncing one’s religion for another bczb of the temptation of wealth etc.To compromise a deed of Islam in exchange of worldly gain. Such a person doesn’t necessarily become a non-believer, but he is guilty of a very serious sin.’ (Dars Muslim, vol.1 pg.402) ▪️When a man’s priority is his worldly assets, then to compromise on his religion is not considered serious anymore! The increasing number of such opportunities is scary. For this reason, we find it has become so easy for people to say (or do) the wrong just to satisfy certain individuals, or merely to attain particular positions etc. We may not realise it, but this is actually a form of ‘selling one’s religion’. {These are people who were actually given a subtle choice; either stick to your religious practice and be deprived of the worldly gain that’s on offer, or vice-versa. Those who choose wisely will not regret their decision.} 🔷Allah Most High says regarding those who chose unwisely: ‘Those are the ones who have purchased misguidance in exchange of guidance. Their trade was not profitable, and neither were they guided.Their example is like that of a person who lights a fire. When it brightens his surroundings, Allah removes their light and leaves them in darkness, unable to see.’ (Surah: 2, Ayah: 16-17) 🔷𝐀 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Imam ‘Affan ibn Muslim As-Saffar (رحمه الله) was a reliable Muhaddith (Hadith Master) but he possessed little of this world. His condition was so dire, that he once had to ask his associate; Imam ‘Amr Al-Fallas (رحمه الله) for some food as he had nothing to feed his household; who numbered close to forty! ▪️When this illustrious Imam was asked to support the innovated view of the then leader regarding the Holy Quran, he refused. He was threatened that his monthly pension from the public treasury –which was a hundred silver coins-, would be withheld. 🔷He responded by reciting the verse: ‘And in the sky is your sustenance and whatever you are promised’ (Surah: 51, Ayah: 22) When he returned home, his family (who were nearly 40 in number) reproached him for this. A few moments later, he heard a knock on the door. It was a person who seemed to be a hard labourer that had come to hand him a bag of one hundred silver coins saying: ▪️‘O Abu ‘Uthman! May Allah preserve you like you preserved the Deen(religion). I will be giving this to you every month.’ (Adabul ikhtilaf of Al-Muhaddith Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah, pg.105) 🔷𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋 Those who value their religion are actually valued by their creator.Who forsakes his religion in any way, may be forsaken by his Creator when he needs Him the most.

A fire once broke out in a house where ‘Alī b. Husayn – may Allah have mercy upon him – was prostrate in prayer. He didn’t raise his head until the fire went out. When asked about this he said: “The other Fire kept my mind busy!” [Siyar A’lām Al-Nubalā: 4/392] @Allah_is_the_only_Guide

💎Imam Malik 💎(d. 179 A.H.) -Rahimahullaah- said:          الحِكْمَةُوالعِلمُ نُورٌ يَهْدِي بهِ اللهُ           مَنْ يَشَاءُ ، وَلَيْسَ بِكَثْرَةِ المَسَائِل  'Wisdom and knowledge are light with which Allaah guides whomsoever He wills.  Guidance is not through awareness of many Islaamic issues.' 📚 [Jamia al-Bayaan wal Ilm 1/84]

Imām al-Bayḥaqī رحمه الله recorded: The life of this world is made up of three days: yesterday has gone with all that was done; tomorrow, you may never reach; but today is for you so do what you should do today. [Az-Zuhd al-Kabīr p.197]

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: "We did not appear in this worldly life to live in it like grazing animals and merely eat, drink and sleep. Rather, we came to this dunyā (the worldly life) in order to prepare provisions for the hereafter."

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalī رحمه الله stated: [قال بعض السلف : إني لأصاب بالمصيبة فأحمد الله عليها أربع مرات : أحمد الله إذ لم تكن أعظم مما هي ، وأحمد الله إذ رزقني الصبر عليها ، وأحمده إذ وفقني الاسترجاع ، وأحمده إذ لم يجعلها في ديني] Some of the Salaf would say: When I am afflicted with a calamity, I praise Allāh four times: I praise Allāh for it not being worse than it is, I praise Allāh that He provided me with the ability to bear it patiently, I praise Him for granting me the accord to say, ‘Verily to Allāh do we belong and to Him do we return’, and I praise Him for not making the tribulation in my religion. مجموع رسائل ابن رجب حنبلي
