Tongues Are Good But Hearts Are Evil

The Noble Jurist, Salafi Shaykh Sulaymaan ar-Ruhaylee (may Allah preserve him):

We seek refuge in Allah from being amongst those whose tongues are good but their hearts are evil. By Allah there’s no good in this, even if the person becomes raised (in status amongst the people). I swear by, I swear by Allah! That you be one who is unknown along with having the pureness of your heart and soundness of your heart is better for you than you being one who is a shining distinguished personality (amongst the people) with the corruption of your heart by way of any image from the images of corruption which Allah doesn’t love, nor is He ever pleased with it for his servant to have in his heart.

The Most Beloved Speech to Allaah

On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) stated:

The most beloved speech to Allah is that the servant says: Glory be to You oh Allah, One who is far removed from any imperfections and for You is the praise. Blessed be Your name. And High is Your status. None has the right to be worshiped except for You. Indeed the most hated of the speech to Allah is that the person says to another person: ‘Fear Allah’ and then the person says in return: ‘Upon you is being concerned about yourself’ (i.e. worry about yourself by minding your own business).

Declared to have an authentic chain of narration by Shaykh al-Albaani in as-Silsilah as-Saheehah.

From the Sign of Happiness

Abu ‘Uthmaan al-Jeezi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:

From the signs of happiness is that you obey (Allah) and fear that you will not be accepted (by Allah). From the signs of wretchedness is that you disobey (Allah) and hope that you will be saved.

Our Hearts Die By Way of 10 Things

Ibraaheem bin Aadam (may Allah have mercy upon him) was passing by the market place of al-Basrah and the people gathered around him and said: “Oh father of Ishaaq, why is it that we supplicate but our supplications are not answered?” He said: “That’s because your hearts have died by way of 10 things!” They said: “What are they?!”

He said:

(1) You know Allah but you haven’t fulfilled His right (over you).
(2) You claimed you love the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), then you abandoned his Sunnah.
(3) You have read/recited the Qur’aan but you didn’t implement it.
(4) You have eaten (from) the favor of Allah (upon you) but didn’t fulfill showing gratitude for it.
(5) You said: Indeed the Shaytaan is your enemy but you agreed with him (by obeying him when he calls you to do evil).
(6) You said: Indeed the Paradise is the truth but you didn’t work for it.
(7) You said: Indeed the Hell-Fire is true, but you didn’t flee from it.
(8) You said: Indeed death is true but you didn’t prepare for it.
(9) You woke up from the (state of) sleeping and busied yourself with the faults of the people leaving off your own faults.
(10) You buried your dead but didn’t take a lesson from them. Continue reading →

التنبيهات إلى واجب العلماء زمن الفتن والمضلات

:من التنبيهات التي ذكرها شيخنا العلامة محمد بن هادي المدخلي – حفظه الله – في محاضرته النافعة

:وفي هذه الآونة قلّ وأقولها بصدق ، قلّ البيان الناصح الواضح ، وكثرت الغمغمة وذلك لعدة أسباب تنحصر في ثلاثة مُجملة

.الأول : خوف المُتكلم على نفسه لا يريد أن يُتَكَلَّمَ فيه
.الثاني : خوف بعضهم على مصالحه ، ربما تكون له مصالح ومنافع فتفوت عليه إن تكلم بكلمة الحق
.الثالث : الحرص على الكثرة والتجميع

إلى أن قال – حفظه الله – فمن لم يبين هذا الصراط المستقيم حقّ البيان للناس فو الله ليس على طريقة ليس على طريقة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم – وهو كذاب مهما تكلم ، كبر أم صغر

إذا لبدّ من هداية الناس إلى هذا الطريق الحق الواضح ولا سيّما إذا دعت الحاجة واشتدّت مع حضور أهل الباطل ودعاة الفتن وحدوث الفتن. فلا تجوز الغمغمة Continue reading →
