💕ISLAMIC THINKING💕

On the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I know of a verse which, if all people were to follow it, would suffice them: 'And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out, and will provide for him from where he does not expect.' (At-Talaq: 2-3)."

Prophet ﷺ said: “He who wants his record (of deeds) to please Him, should repent a lot.” [المعجم الأوسط للطبراني ٨٤٣]

‏كان من دعائه ﷺ: ‏وأسألك قُرّة عينٍ لا تنقطع ‏-قرة عين: ‏يعني أن يرزقه الله باستقرار عينه في الأمور كلها خيرها وشرها. ‏بأن يرى قضاء الله كله من لطفه. ‏وهذا يتبعه استقرار قلبه، وشعوره بالأمن والطمأنينة، لأن العين بوابة القلب. ‏فإذا ما استقرت العين استقر القلب لامحال.

It was from His ﷺ supplication: "And I ask you for a source of joy that never ends." A source of joy: It means that Allah will grant him stability in his heart in all matters, good or bad. That he will see all of Allah's decrees as a blessing from Him. And this is followed by the stability of his heart, and his sense of security and peace, because the eye is the gateway to the heart. So if the eye is stable, the heart will inevitably be stable as well

‏‌"كل من حدثته نفسُه بذنبٍ فكرهه ونفاه عن نفسه وتركه لله؛ ازداد صلاحًا وبِرًّا وتقوى ." - شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية. Whoever confronted himself with his sin, reflected on it, repudiated it, and left it to Allah; he became more pious, virtuous, and righteous." - Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد

قال الشيخ ربيع المدخلي حفظه الله: Shaykh Rabi‘ al-Madkhali, may Allah preserve him, said: “والله لو تلونا القرآن حق تلاوته واتبعنا ما فيه، لسعدنا في هذه الدنيا ولسعدنا في الآخرة، ولكن أكثرنا معرضون.” “By Allah, if we recited the Qur’an as it should be recited and followed what is in it, we would be happy in this world and happy in the Hereafter, but most of us turn away.” المجموع الرائق: (١٢٨) Al-Majmū‘ al-Rā’iq: (128)

بكى سفيان الثوري ليلة إلى الصباح Sufyan al-Thawri wept the entire night until morning. فلما أصبح And when morning came, قيل له: كل هذا خوفا من الذنوب؟ It was said to him: “Is all this because of fear of sins?” فأخذ تبنةً من الأرض وقال: الذنوب أهون من هذا، وإنما أبكي من خوف سوء الخاتمة He took a piece of earth and said: “Sins are less than this, but I weep out of fear of a bad ending.” وهذا من أعظم الفقه أن يخاف الرجل أن تخذله ذنوبه عند الموت، فتحول بينه وبين الخاتمة الحسنى And this is from the greatest understanding, that a man fears his sins will forsake him at the time of death, preventing him from a good ending. الداء والدواء صـ412 Al-Dā’ wa al-Dawā’ p. 412

Feel not lonely by the strangeness that you sense amongst the people, لا توحشنك غربة بين الورى For the people are considered to be like those who are dead. فالناس كالأموات في الحسبان Have you not come to know, that Ahlus Sunnah are truly the strangers in every era? أو ما علمت بأن أهل السنة الغرباء حقا عند كل زمان Ibn Qayyim, Nūniyyah 1/218 ابن القيم, نونية 1/218

أيُّها الدُّعاة؛ لا تضعفوا لقلَّة عدد من استجاب لكم، فشرف الدَّعوة إلى الله، ورفعة منزلة أهلها في الدُّنيا والآخرة؛ لا يرتبط بعدد المستجيبين، قال النَّبيُّ ﷺ: "ويأتي النَّبيُّ وليس معه أحدٌ"؛ أي أنَّه دعا ولم يستجب له أحدٌ، فعاش (نبيًّا)، ومات (نبيًّا)، ويُبعث (نبيًّا). O callers to Allah: Do not weaken because of the small number of those who respond to you. The honor of calling to Allah, and the elevated rank of its people in this world and the Hereafter, is not tied to the number of responders. The Prophet ﷺ said: “A prophet will come with no one with him”—meaning that he called, yet no one responded to him. Still, he lived as a Prophet, died as a Prophet, and will be resurrected as a Prophet.  #Sheikh_Saleh_Al_Osaimi حفظه الله

‏( رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ) -

Abu al-Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It is a sign of a servant's understanding (fiqh) to know whether he is increasing [in faith] or decreasing, and it is a sign of a servant's understanding to know how and from where the whispers of Satan reach him." He means that it is part of a person's religious insight to examine the state of their faith (iman)—whether it is growing or diminishing. Many people experience a decline in faith without even noticing, which stems from a lack of deep understanding and spiritual foresight. Umayr bin Habib al-Khatmi (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "Faith increases and decreases." It was asked, "What is its increase and decrease?" He replied: "When we remember Allah (the Mighty and Majestic), praise Him, and glorify Him, that is its increase. When we are heedless, wasteful, and forgetful, that is its decrease." - تجديد الايمان للشيخ عبد الرزاق البدر

Eid is not for the one who wears new clothes....

༼ أعياد المؤمنين في الجنَّة ༽ ❞وأمَّا أعياد المؤمنين في الجنَّة، فهي أيام زيارتهم لربهم عز وجل، فيزورونه ويُكرِمهم غاية الكرامة ويتجلَّى لهم وينظرون إليهِ، فما أعطاهم شيئًا هو أَحب إليهم مِن ذلك، وهو الزيادة التي قال الله تعالى فيها: ﴿لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ﴾❝ 📚لطائف المعارف، للحافظ ابن رجب (٢٧٨) ┈┉┅━━┅┉┈ ༼ The Eid for the Believers in Jannah ༽ ❝As for the Eid for the believing servants in Jannah, then it's the days when they will visit their Lord, The Mighty and Majestic, so they will visit Him and He will honour them with the highest level of honour by revealing Himself to them so they can look at Him. So He will not give them anything that is more beloved to them than that and that is the extra about which Allah The Mighty and Majestic said: ا ‎﴿لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ﴾ For them who have done good is the best [reward] and more❞ 📚Litaif Al-Ma-Arif٫ Ibn Rajab(278)

Ibn Hajr رحمه الله said : إظهار السرور في الأعياد من شعار الدين Manifesting joy on the days of #Eid is from the symbols of the religion. ✨🤍🎈🕋

Teachings

إظهار الفرح في العيد سنّة، يسعد الصديق ويغيظ العدو، كان النبي ﷺ يأذن للحبشة يلعبون في المسجد، ويقول: (لتعلم يهود أن في ديننا فسحة) Displaying joy on #Eid is a Sunnah; it brings delight to a friend and irritates an enemy. The Prophet ﷺ would allow the Abyssinians to play in the masjid and would say, “So that the Jews know that there is recreation in our religion.” ✨🐏🕋
