المؤمن أشد الناس انشراحًا – الإمام ابن عثيمين

-قال الإمام ابن عثيمين -رحمه الله

لا تَجِدُ أحدًا أَنْعَم بالاً، ولا أَشْرَح صَدْرًا، ولا أَشَد طمأنينة في قلبِهِ من المؤمن أبدًا، حتى وإنْ كان فقيرًا، فالمؤمن أشد الناس انشراحًا، وأشد الناس اطمِئْنانًا، وأوسَع صدرًا. واقرَؤُوا إنْ شِئْتُم قولَ الله تعالى {مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ}  ما هي الحياة الطيّبة؟ الجواب: الحياة الطيبة هي انشراح الصدر وطمأنينة القلب، حتى ولو كان الإنسان في أَشَدّ بُؤْس، فإنَّهُ مُطمَئِنُّ القلب مُنشَرِح الصدر Continue reading

Balance in Worship and Worldly Life

The Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

The completeness of one being religious is not by way of tiring oneself out in the performance of the acts of worship and keeping away from the lawful pleasures of the worldly life.

The Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

In your spreading of the knowledge is a spreading of the religion of Allah. Therefore you will be from the Mujaahideen (those who strive) for the path of Allah. The Mujaahid for the path of Allah opens up the lands, land by land until the religion spreads therein. You open up the hearts with knowledge until the legislation of Allah spreads therein.

بسم اللَّه الرحمن الرحيم 

قال ابن العثيمين -رحمه اللّٰه تعالى – في شرحه للأربعين النووية، الحديث الخامس والعشرينوالأمر بالمعروف لابد فيه من شرطين

 الشرط الأول: أن يكون الآمر عالماً بأن هذا معروف، فإن كان جاهلاً فإنه لا يجوز أن يتكلم، لإنه إذا أمر بما يجهل فقد قال على اللّٰه تعالى ما لا يعلم.

 الشرط الثاني: أن يعلم أن هذا المأمور قد ترك المعروف، فإن لم يعلم تركه إياه فليستفصل، ودليل ذلك أن رجلاً دخل يوم الجمعة والنبي -صلى اللّٰه عليه وآله وسلم- يخطب فجلس، فقال له: (أصليت؟. قال: لا، قال: قم فصل ركعتين وتجوز فيهما). فلم يأمره بصلاة ركعتين حتى سأله هل فعلهما أو لا، فلابد أن تعلم أنه تارك لهذا المعروف.
