Pearls of Ar-Ruhayli - دُرَرُ الرُّحَيْلِي

Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله The Prophet ﷺ said: “Women may be married for four things : their wealth, their lineage, their beauty and their religious commitment. Choose the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).” The Prophet ﷺ informed us that the motivations for marrying a woman are her wealth, beauty, lineage, and religion, and clarified that the one who attains success and victory is the one who attains a woman with religion. How beautiful is the saying of the one who said: “A woman is not valued for her wealth and beauty, nor for the boasts of her ancestors, but rather for her chastity, her purity, her righteousness for her husband and children, her fulfillment of her household duties, and her care for you in prosperity and adversity. Oh, how I wonder, where are such women found under the blue sky?!” They are women sought with the water of gold, rather, they are sought with treasures of gold. And the chosen Prophet ﷺ said: “If there comes to you one whose religion and character you are pleased with, then marry him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and widespread corruption.” https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

O Youth, if You Are Able, Get Married & Don’t Delay: Advice for Young Men and Women Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله A great supplication that the Prophet ﷺ used to pay great attention to, to the extent that he would begin his night prayer with it. How much we are in need of making this supplication with sincerity and certainty. So, I call myself and the believing men and women to frequently supplicate it with sincerity and certainty, especially in the last part of the night: Narrated by Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, who said: I asked Aisha, the Mother of the Believers: 'With what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ begin his prayer when he stood up at night?' She replied: 'When he stood up at night, he began his prayer with: "O Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika'il, and Israfil, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You judge between Your servants in that which they used to differ. O Allah, guide me to the truth in that which was disputed, for indeed, You are the One who guides whom You will to a Straight Path."' (اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرَائِيلَ، وَمِيكَائِيلَ، وإسْرَافِيلَ، فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأرْضِ، عَالِمَ الغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيما كَانُوا فيه يَخْتَلِفُونَ، اهْدِنِي لِما اخْتُلِفَ فيه مِنَ الحَقِّ بإذْنِكَ؛ إنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَن تَشَاءُ إلى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ) Allahumma Rabba Jibril wa Mika'il wa Israfil, Fatirus-samawati wal-ard, 'alim al-ghaybi wash-shahadah, anta tahkumu bayna 'ibadika fima kanu fihi yakhtalifun. Ihdini limakhtulifa fihi min al-haqq; innaka tahdi man tasha' ila siratin mustaqim. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

How Hard Are the Hearts! Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

What is Tawheed of Lordship (Tawheed Ar-Rububiyyah)? Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله The Tawheed of Lordship is to affirm the Oneness of Allah, exalted is He, in His actions, such as creation, provision, giving life, causing death, and disposing the affairs. Thus, the Tawheed of Lordship here means that the servant acknowledges and believes that Allah, exalted is He, is the Creator with no partner, and that He, glorified is He, is the Provider with no partner, and that He, glorified is He, is the Giver of life, and that He, glorified is He, is the Causer of death. And this Tawheed, the Tawheed of Lordship, is an obligatory duty upon every Muslim; however, adhering to it alone is not sufficient for entering into Islam. It is an obligatory duty for the Muslim to affirm Allah’s Oneness in His Lordship, but if a person affirms Allah’s Oneness in Lordship alone, can we say that he is a Muslim by mere affirmation of Lordship? The answer is no; that alone does not enter him into Islam, as he has not brought forth the key whose explanation will come, in sha’ Allah. The disbelievers at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed the Tawheed of Lordship and believed that the Creator is Allah, the Provider is Allah, and the Giver of life is Allah; yet that did not enter them into Islam. Allah, exalted is He, said: “Say: Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth, or who controls hearing and sight, and who brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living, and who disposes the affairs? They will say, ‘Allah.’ So say: Will you not then fear Him?” [Yunus: 31]. Glory be to Allah, my brothers, you notice here that affirming the Tawheed of Lordship necessitates Tawheed of Worship; hence, Allah, exalted is He, said at the end of the verse, “So say: Will you not then fear Him?!” Since you affirm that Allah is the One who provides, that Allah is the One who gives life, and that Allah is the One who causes death, then how do you not fear Him?! Therefore, the Tawheed of Lordship is an obligatory duty; however, adhering to it alone is not sufficient for entering into Islam and considering a person to be a Muslim.

Reflecting Before Sleep: The Consequences of Abandoning a Brother Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

Question: What is the methodology of the Salaf (Manhaj as-Salaf)? Answer: The methodology of the Salaf is a clear path, never confused with any other. Its foundation is sincerity to Allah and following the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him. This methodology of the salaf it’s foundation is in Allah’s words: “But no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.” The methodology of the Salaf is founded upon the statement of the Prophet, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him: “Whoever lives among you after me will see much difference, so adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs. Hold firmly to it and bite onto it with your molar teeth and beware of newly introduced matters, for every newly introduced matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.” This methodology of the salaf its foundation is what Allah reformed this Ummah with at its beginning, which is what the Prophet, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, and his companions were upon. The methodology of the Salaf is built upon opposing innovations and desires, as well as their people, and openly supporting the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him. It involves striving to refute innovations, exposing their people, clarifying their conditions, and warning people against anything that comes from them. This methodology of the salaf is a methodology that should never be mixed with any other, a methodology of the Book and the Sunnah, of knowledge and insight, of following and guidance. The methodology of the righteous predecessors, a methodology visible to everyone whose insight Allah has enlightened. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli
