✨The Means to Attaining Allāh's Pleasure 🎙Yūnus ibn ʿUbayd (d.139H — raḥimahullāh) said: "With good manners, you understand the knowledge. With the knowledge, your actions are corrected. With actions, wisdom is obtained. With wisdom, you understand zuhd (abstinence) and are granted its benefits. With zuhd comes abandoning the world. With abandoning the world comes the desire for the Hereafter. With the desire for the Hereafter, the pleasure of Allāh (the Mighty and Majestic) is obtained." 📖 Iqtidaa'ul-'Ilmil-'Aml (no.31) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

☀️ ⛅️Benefit: The Specified Times for the Morning and Afternoon/Night Adhkar 🎤 Shaykh Sālih al-Fawzān (حفظه الله) was asked about the specified times that an individual is allowed to make the morning, afternoon and night adhkar. He (حفظه الله) responded with the following: The time for the morning adhkar [begins] from dawn, and the time for the afternoon/night adhkar [begins] from the diminishing of the sun, Ẓhuhr time. All of this is the time in which adhkar is done. All of them [i.e. the adhkar] performed at these times: after the diminishing [of the sun, Ẓhuhr time], after Ẓhuhr [i.e. after the Ẓhuhr ṣalāh], after ʿAṣr [i.e. after the ʿAṣr ṣalāh], after Maghrib [i.e. after the Maghrib ṣalāh] are [considered to be] the night [adhkar]. Therefore, if he makes the adhkar anytime in the night, then he has accomplished making it in its time. Likewise, the morning [adhkar]. If dawn appears [and] he makes the adhkar immediately after dawn—after the Fajr ṣalāh, after sunrise up until the sun is in the middle of the sky [this occurs just before the Ẓhuhr ṣalāh]—then all of this is the time for the morning adhkar.

Rectify Whatever is Between You and Allāh, Allāh will Rectify Whatever is Between You and the People! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Yûsûf Ibn Al-Husayn(رحمه الله )said: I heard Dhã Nûn al-Misri say that the scholars used to offer admonitions and write to one another regarding three things: "Whoever rectifies himself internally, Allãh will make him upright externally as well. And whoever rectifies whatever is between himself and Allãh, then Allãh will rectify whatever is between him and the people. And whoever rectifies the matter of his hereafter, then Allãh will rectify his worldly life."

🗣The Woman’s Voice Is a Source of Fitnah ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ▪️Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī (رحمه الله) said: “It is necessary that the woman speaks only when it is required of her because her voice may be a source of fitnah for a man, and Allāh’s aid is sought. We do not say, ‘The woman’s voice is a part of her ‘awrah’; however, it is a source of fitnah.” 📖 Source: Min Fiqh al-Imām al-Wādiʿī, vol. 3, pg. 49. 🖊Translated by: Musa Shaleem Mohammed ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

🕯Imām ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh — d.751H) said: “There is no doubt that the heart becomes covered with rust, just as metal dishes - silver, and their likes - become rusty. So the rust of the heart is polished with dhikr (remembrance of Allāh), for dhikr polishes the heart until it becomes like a shiny mirror. However, when dhikr is abandoned, the rust returns; and when it commences then the heart again begins to be cleansed. Thus, the heart becoming rusty is due to two matters: sins and ghaflah (neglecting remembrance of Allāh). Likewise, it is cleansed and polished by two things: istighfār (seeking Allāh’s forgiveness) and dhikr.” 📖al-Waabilus-Sayyib (p. 80), 'Al-Fawāʾid: Points of Benefit — Purifying the heart' ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

SEEKING KNOWLEDGE FOR OTHER THAN ALLÂH THE EXALTED ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🖊Al-Hasan (رحمه الله) said: "Whoever seeks knowledge in pursuit of the hereafter will acquire it. And whoever seeks knowledge in pursuit of worldly matters will only receive his share of it." 🖊And Az-Zûhri (رحمه الله) said: "So that will be his share" Extracted by Al-Khatîb in 'Iqtidã' al-Ilm al-Amal' (pg 66) and see also adh-Dãrimi (vol.1/ pg. 70) And even more explicit then that was the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ) as it was narrated by Abu Hurãyrãh (رضي الله عنه ) who said: "Whoever seeks knowledge that should be sought for the sake of Allãh for no other reason except that he seeks some worldly gain, will not smell the 'arf' of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection." And 'arf' here means its scent. Extracted by Imãm Ahmãd in his Musnãd (vol. 2/pg.338) and abu Dãwud in his sunan (vol.4/pg. 71) and Ibn Mãjah in his sunan (vol.1/pg.92-93) and it was Authenticated by al-Hãkim (vol.1/pg.85) and adh-Dhahabî supported his authentication. 📖 Book: Obstacles In the Path of Seeking knowledge |Pg: 17 & 18.

[How To Achieve Taqwah] Allah تعالى says: “It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.” (Sūrah Fātir 35:28) In refrence to Allah’s statement, the eminent scholar, Rabee’ ibn Haadi Al Madkhali حفظه الله stated: Fear Allah عز وجل so that you can reach this rank. Also, study so than you attain this position. It is the person who learns the correct knowledge of beliefs, methodology, rulings, etiquettes and behavior that flow from Allah’s Book and the Sunnah of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم); this is the person that fears Allah عز وجل (with knowledge). Taqwah truly becomes a reality if all of these actions are applied. [Al Mejmoo’ (vol.1, pg.470)] 🖊Translator: Talib Abdullah ibn Benjamin Brown حفظه الله ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

🔹Among the most useful ways to drive away grief ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🔹is to train yourself not to desire thanks and gratitude from anyone *except Allah.* 🔹So if you do good to someone who has a right over you, or has no right over you, then know that your deal is with Allah, 🔹and do not pay any heed to the thanks and gratitude of the one to whom you were good. 🔹This is as Allah, the Most High said regarding His elite among creation: (إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱلله لَا نُرِیدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَاۤءࣰ وَلَا شُكُورًا) 🔹“(They say): *We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks”.* [Al-Insan; verse 9] ___ By Shaikh Abdurrahman Bin Nasir Al-Si'idy Useful Ways Of Leading A Happy Life ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

From ‘Umar Bin Al-Khattaab [رضي الله عنه] that a man from the Jews said to him: ❝'O leader of the believers; there is an Aayah in your Book which you read; if it had been revealed to the like of us Jews then we would have taken that day as an ‘Eid.' So he said: 'which Aayah is that?' he said: ﴿الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإسْلامَ دِينًا﴾‏ «This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion» [Al-Maa-idah: 3] So ‘Umar said: 'Indeed we know of that day as well as the place in which it was revealed upon the Prophet [ﷺ] - and he was standing at ‘Arafaat on a Friday.'❞ [Reported By Al-Bukhārī, (No. 45) | Muslim, (No. 7443) | Translated By Abū Haatim M.

*The Rectification Of The Ummah*  ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎙 Shaykh Sālih Ibn Fawzān Al-Fawzān حفظه الله said:   "The home is a place in which the children are raised correctly which will result in the rectification of this nation by way of the rectification of future generations. And two spouses are the foundation of the family. If the relationship between the two of them is bad, then there will be no stability in the home."   [A Woman's Guide To Raising A Family, pg.40.

Giving priority to marriage over Hajj if remaining single will lead to sin ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Q: Should I marry first or help my mother with money to perform ‘Umrah and act as her Mahram (spouse or unmarriageable relative)? A: If you can afford both marriage and ‘Umrah (Lesser pilgrimage), it is better to do both. You can marry and help your mother. If you can afford only one thing, marriage takes precedence over ‘Umrah. There is no harm if your mother waits until she can afford to perform ‘Umrah. If you face no hardship remaining single and have no strong desire to get married, there is nothing wrong with preferring your mother to yourself. However, if it is difficult for you to remain single, you should marry first and apologize to your mother for delaying ‘Umrah until you can afford it.

Observing Your Wife’s Beautiful Manners ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ✍️ The Noble Scholar Ibn Sa’adi [رحمه الله] said ❝When a husband reflects over his wife’s beautiful manners and good qualities that he loves about her, and then compares these qualities to those reasons which causes him anger and irritation, perhaps there is some negativity he sees whilst living with her, but it could be that he is focussing on just one or two [negative] things, yet, in reality, those qualities that he loves in her are much greater. Therefore, if the husband was just, then he would overlook her bad points which actually disappear and vanish due to her goodness. In this way companionship continues. As for turning away from good qualities, and only observing shortcomings – even if they are very few – then this is from being unjust, and the husband can hardly be settled with his wife.❞ 📚[Bahjat Al-Qaloob, (Page: 153-154) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya] ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

💥 Is Entry Into Paradise And Hellfire Dependent Upon Correctness Of Manhaj? ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ - By Shaykh Salih Al Fawzan 💥...⬇️ Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan said: ‘Yes if the Manhaj is correct then that person will become from the people of Paradise.

But if he follows the Manhaj of misguidance then he is threatened with the Hellfire. Therefore, Paradise and Hellfire are dependent upon the correctness or incorrectness of Manhaj.’ [Al-Ajwiba al-Mufeedah un asilata al-Manahij al-Jadeedah p. 125] 🔤Translated By: Abbas Abu Yahya ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

Sheikh Uthaymeen Advises A Newly Practicing Muslim ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 💎 Someone asked Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saleh al-‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah): What is your advice for an individual who has just begun to practice Islam? 💎...⬇ #Answer by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saleh al-‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah): My advice to this new practicing individual is: 1 – He should constantly ask Allaah to make him firm. 2 – He should increase in recitation of The Qur`an with contemplation. This is because recitation has a major (positive) effect on the heart, especially when coupled with contemplation and reflection. 3 – He should be diligent in being obedient to Allaah, and he should not become bored or lazy. This is because The Messenger (salAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) sought refuge from inability and laziness. 4 – He should be diligent in befriending good companions, and distance himself from evil companions. 5 – He should also advise himself when he finds himself thinking: Time is extremely lengthy and the path is too long! At this point, he should advise himself and remain firm. This is because Jannah (paradise) is surrounded with trials and difficulties, while the The Hell-fire is surrounded with desires. 6 – He should distance himself from bad companions even if they (those companions) are individuals he knew in the past. This is due to the fact that evil/bad companions influence an individual. Because of this, the Messenger (salAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: The example of a bad companion is the example of a black smith; either he burns your clothing, or you experience from him a disgusting odor.
