Why Has Allāh Resembled The Dunyā To Water?

Imām al-Qurtubī (may Allāh have mercy upon him) stated:

Why did Allāh resemble the Dunyā to the water in His statement:

…وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
And put forward to them the example of the life of this world, it is like the water (rain) which We send down from the sky… (Soorah Al-Kahf: 45)

The wise ones have stated: Allāh resembled the Dunyā to the water (due to the following reasons): Continue reading →

من فوائد الأمراض والآفات التي تصيب المسلمين

عن أمّ العلاء – رضي الله عنها – قالت: عادني رسول الله ﷺ وأنا مريضة فقال: [ أبشري يا أمّ العلاء؛ فإنّ مرض المسلم يذهب الله به خطاياه، كما تذهب النار خبث الذهب والفضّة ] صححه الألباني

:من فوائد الأمراض
أنها تنذرك بالرحيل من هذه الدنيا-

فهي تذكرك بالموت لأجل أن تستعد له- Continue reading →

Have a Lot of Children, Your Provisions Will Increase

The Noble Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Sāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy upon him) stated:

The one who has evil thoughts about his Lord has gone clearly astray when he has said: Don’t have a lot of children, it will cause your provisions to be restricted! By the Lord of the throne they have lied. When the people have a lot of children Allāh increases their provisions. That’s because there’s no creature upon the earth except that its provisions is upon Allāh. Therefore the provisions of your children are upon Allāh (‘azza wa jall). He is the one who opes up the doors of provision in order that you spend upon them. Continue reading →

The Salafi Should…

Shaykh Usāmah Al-‘Utaybī (ḥafiẓahullāh) said:

My dear Salafis,

The methodology of the Salaf is that which the pious predecessors were upon in creed, worship, character, and manners; and an acute application of the rules and regulations of the Book and the Sunnah. The Salafis are the furthest of people from going against and contradicting Allah’s legislation and religion. Continue reading →

The Supplication Between the Adhān And The Iqāmah

Fatwā from Shaykh Sāliḥ al-Fawzān:

Question: Is it correct that the duʿā (supplication) and al-Istighfār (seeking Allah’s forgiveness) between the adhān and the iqāmah is better than the recitation of the Qur’ān (during this time)?

Answer: Yes. That’s because the duʿā between the adhān and the iqāmah is something that is sure (to be an act of worship done at this specific time). It is legislated. The duʿā between the adhān and the iqāmah is not rejected and (if it is not done at this time), its (benefit) can be missed. As for the recitation of the Qur’ān, (the benefit of) it can not be missed because its time (of reciting it) is vast and it can be recited at another time. Continue reading →

Be Humble And Accept Advice From Your Brother

The Noble Scholar Rabī’ Ibn Hādī (may Allāh preserve him) stated:

Upon you is being humble for Allāh and (know that) the religion is sincere advice. When your brother advises you or your father or one who is older than you in age or younger – even if there are degrees/level between you and him – if he advised for Allah, accept (the advice); be humble and do not reject the truth. For indeed, arrogance is looking down upon the people and the rejection of the truth. Therefore, do not look down upon the people nor should you reject the truth. Continue reading →
