Reviling the Scholars

Shaykh Sālih Āl-ish-Shaykh states:

Reviling the scholars, without doubt, is a major sin and prohibited. It is even possible for it be deemed disbelief and apostasy if the intent behind reviling them is on account of Islām and their strict adherence to it. Thus Allāh’s refuge is sought from the inhabitants of the fire’s circumstance. Allāh says:

إنما يخشى الله من عباده العلماء
It is only those who possess knowledge among His servants that truly fear Allah (Soorah Fatir: 28)

A Good Deed Multiplied to Two Million Good Deeds

All praise is due to Allah, may the Salāh and Salām be upon the Messenger of Allāh. As to what follows:

Do not look down upon the good in any way, for Allāh is the one who is vast in virtue. He bestows His virtue upon whomever He wills. The good deed is counted as ten good deeds like it up to seven hundred fold, to more than that by many times. Rather the increase of the one good deed could reach the amount of being two million good deeds. And Allāh is the possessor of magnificent virtue. On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allāh be pleased with him) he said: The Messenger of Allāh (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عز وجل يُضَعِّفُ الْحَسَنَةَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ Continue reading →

The Calamity of Opposing Clear Proofs

The Imām Rabī’ Ibn Hādi al-Madkhali said:

A calamity right now from the trials and tribulations that is even with some of the Salafis is that they adhere to the statement of so and so and so and so even if the one who opposes him has clear proofs and evidences.

This demeanor is from the ways of the people of misguidance; the Salafi Manhaj does not acknowledge these ways no matter what station/rank a person has reached. Continue reading →

The Reality of Jannah

Shaykhul-Islām Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allāh have mercy upon him) stated:

Al-Jannah is not merely a name for the trees, the fruits, the food, the drink, the women of paradise, the rivers and palaces. Most of the people make a mistake regarding the name of Al-Jannah. Indeed Al-Jannah is the name for the abode of unrestricted complete bliss. And from the greatest of the bliss in Al-Jannah is the enjoyment of looking at the Noble Face of Allah and hearing His speech. Also is the delight of the eye by being near to Him and by way of His being pleased. There’s no comparison of the pleasure in it from the food, the drink, the clothing and the images (therein) to this pleasure (of seeing the Noble face of Allāh and being near to Him).

The Fourteen Enemies

A man said to Abu Hāzim (may Allah have mercy upon him): Indeed you are strict. Abu Hāzim (may Allāh have mercy upon him) replied:

Why shouldn’t I be strict when I’m certainly being observed/watched by 14 enemies. As for four of them: A Shaytān (devil) who puts me to trial, a believer who envies me, a disbeliever (who wants to) kill me and a hypocrite who hates me. As for the (remaining) ten, from them are: The matter of hunger, thirst, heat, cold, nakedness, old age, sickness, poverty, death and the hell-fire. I don’t have the ability (to combat them all) except with a complete weapon. And I do not find a weapon to combat them with better than (the weapon of) at-Taqwā (having fear of Allah).
