NOBLE FEATURES OF THE MESSENGER OF ALLĀH (ﷺ)
0️⃣1️⃣: His Height, Color, and Hair
Rabi'a bin Abi 'Abdur-Rahman reports: I heard Anas bin Malik describing the Prophet (ﷺ) saying,
"He was of medium height amongst the people, neither tall nor short; he had a rosy color, neither absolutely white nor deep brown; his hair was neither completely curly nor quite lank. Divine Inspiration was revealed to him when he was forty years old. He stayed ten years in Makkah receiving the Divine Inspiration, and stayed in Madīnah for ten more years. ˹When ALLĀH took him unto HIM˺ he had scarcely twenty white hairs in his head and beard."
Rabi'a said, "I saw some of his hairs and it was red. When I asked about that, I was told that it turned red because of scent."

THE PROHIBITION OF ATTRIBUTING ALLĀH’S BLESSING TO OTHERS
On the authority of Zaid Ibn Khalid Al-Juhani (may ALLĀH be pleased with him), he said: "ALLĀH’s Messenger prayed the morning prayer with us in Al-Hudaibiyyah after it had rained during the night, and when he had finished, he addressed the people, saying: "Do you know what your Rabb said?" They said: "ALLĀH and HIS Messenger know best!” He (ﷺ) said: "˹ALLĀH said˺ Some of MY slaves this morning are true believers in ME and others are disbelievers: As for those who say: 'We have received rain from the Bounty of ALLĀH and HIS Mercy,' they are believers in ME and disbelievers in the stars, while those who say: 'We have received rain from the movements of such-and-such a star,' are disbelievers in ME and believers in the stars."
📚 Al-Bukhārī #1038, #846 and Muslim #71
Zaid Ibn Khalid (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) tells us in this Hadith that the Prophet (ﷺ) led the people in fajr prayer in the area known as Al-Hudaibiyyah, after a night of rain. After the prayer, facing the people. He (ﷺ) addressed them, wishing to encourage them to do good and to increase their knowledge; He (ﷺ) told them that ALLĀH had revealed to him that regarding the rain, the people are divided into two categories:
(i) Those who thank HIM and
(ii) those who are ungrateful to HIM.
As for those who are grateful and believe in HIM, they are the ones who attribute the blessing of rain to ALLĀH; and as for those who are ungrateful and disbelieve in HIM, they are the ones who attribute the rainfall to the positions of the planets and stars.
Benefits Derived From This Hadith:
1️⃣. The virtue of the Imām addressing the congregation after finishing the prayer.
2️⃣. The virtue of infusing knowledge by asking: "Do you know.?"
3️⃣. Confirmation of ALLĀH’s Divine Attribute of Speech.
4️⃣. The correct manner ofresponding to a question in religious matters when one does not know the answer.
5️⃣. The forbiddance of rejecting ALLAH’s Blessings.
6️⃣. Confirmation of ALLĀH’s Divine Attribute of Mercy.
7️⃣. That attributing ALLĀH’s Blessings to other than ALLĀH is ˹minor act of˺ disbelief.
8️⃣. The forbiddance of saying: "We have received rain due to the position of such-and-such a star."

REASONS AND HOW ASḤABUL-KAHF LEFT THEIR COMMUNITY TO INHABIT IN THE CAVE (1/2)
ALLĀH says
وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ
And WE made their hearts firm and strong when they stood up and said: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth,
Here ALLĀH is saying: 'WE gave them the patience to go against their people and their city, and to leave behind the life of luxury and ease that they had been living.'
Several of the earlier and later Tafsir scholars have mentioned that;
they were sons of the kings and leaders of Byzantium, and that they went out one day to one of the festivals of their people. They used to gather once a year outside the city, and they would worship idols and offer sacrifices to them. They had an arrogant, tyrannical king who was called Decianus, who commanded and encouraged the people to do that. When the people went out to attend this gathering, these young men went out with their fathers and their people, and when they saw their people's actions with clear insight, they realized that the prostrations and sacrifices the people were offering to their idols should only be dedicated to ALLĀH, Who created the heavens and the earth.
Each of them started to withdraw from his people and keep aloof from them. The first one of them to move away on his own went and sat in the shade of a tree, then another came and sat with him, then another came and sat with them, then four more followed suit one by one. None of them knew the others, but they were brought together by the One Who instilled faith in their hearts.
As it says in the Hadith recorded by Al-Bukhari with an incomplete chain of narrators from A'ishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her), the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said:
"Souls are like recruited soldiers. Those that recognize one another will come together, and those that do not recognize one another will turn away from each another."
Muslim also recorded this in his Sahih from the Hadith of Suhayl from his father from Abu Hurayrah from the Messenger of ALLĀH.
People say that similar qualities or characteristics are what bring people together. So each of the young men was trying to conceal what he really believed from the others, out of fear of them, not knowing that they were like him.
Then one of them said, "O people, you know by ALLĀH that only one thing is making you leave your people and isolate yourselves from them, so let each one of you say what it is in his case."
Another said, "As for me, by ALLĀH I saw what my people are doing and I realized that it was false, and that the only One Who deserves to be worshipped Alone with out partner or associate is ALLĀH Who created everything, the heavens, the earth and everything in between."
Another said, "By ALLĀH, the same thing happened to me."
The others said the same, and they all agreed and became brothers in faith. They adopted a particular location as a place of worship and began worshipping ALLĀH there, but their people found out about them and told their king about them. The king ordered them to appear before him, and asked them about their beliefs. They told him the truth and called him to ALLĀH, as ALLĀH says about them:
وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ لَن نَّدْعُوَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَهًا
And WE made their hearts firm and strong when they stood up and said: "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, never shall we call upon any god other than HIM..."
"Never (Lan)" implies an absolute and eternal negation, meaning, 'this will never happen, and if we were to do that it would be false.'
So ALLĀH says about them:
لَقَدْ قُلْنَا إِذًا شَطَطًا
if we did, we should indeed have uttered an enormity in disbelief.
meaning, untruth and utter falsehood.

WISDOM IN ISSUING LEGAL VERDICTS
Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaydah reported: A man came to Ibn Abbas, may ALLĀH be pleased with him, and he said,
"Is there repentance for one who kills a believer?"
Ibn Abbas said, "No, there is nothing but Hellfire."
After the man left, those sitting nearby said to him, "What is this? You have given us two different judgments, for earlier you judged that whoever killed a believer may have his repentance accepted. What is the matter today?"
Ibn Abbas said, "Indeed, I suspect he was an angry man intending to kill a believer."
Later they followed the man and found that it was true.
📚 Muṣannaf Ibn Abī Shaybah 27182
Sufyan al-Thawri said, "When the scholars were asked if there is repentance for murderer, they would say no. If a man had already committed it, they would order him to repent."

IF YOU COUNT THE BOUNTIES OF ALLĀH YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
Ibn al-Jawzi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:
The more I observe the bounties that ALLĀH keeps bestowing upon me, the more I find myself struggle to find the appropriate way to express my gratitude and thankfulness (shukr). I know that thanking ALLĀH per se, is one of the bounties of ALLĀH upon HIS slaves but still I do not know how to thank HIM for all that He bestowed upon me!
I admit my shortcomings and acknowledge that I have not fulfilled HIS rights upon me, so I hope my acknowledgment will be a means whereby I could fulfil some of HIS rights upon me.
I have a characteristic that 1 hope because of which, I receive all goodness, that is: while the one who prays or fasts thinks he accomplished his worship or fulfilled all the rights to One whom he is serving— I see that when I pray two rak'ah, I have actually prayed to save myself because the One whom we all serve does not need my service.
Some of the scholars used to remind people that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Supplication is worship” and I say worship is supplication. I thus wonder at those who stand to pray at night asking HIM for their needs and yet believe they are worshipping their Lord while, in fact, they take the means whereby their needs be granted to them because of HIS grace to wake them up at night by itself is a grace their worship cannot match.

THE PROHIBITION OF SUPPLICATING FOR THE ONE WHO DIED AS A POLYTHEISTS
ALLĀH says:
مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ امَنُواْ أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُواْ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ
It is not ˹proper˺ for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the polytheists,
That is, for those who disbelieve in ALLĀH and worship someone else besides HIM
وَلَوْ كَانُواْ أُوْلِي قُرْبَى مِن بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ
Even if they were close relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are bound for the Hellfire.
Praying for forgiveness for them in this case is wrong and is of no benefit. Therefore it is not appropriate for the Prophet ﷺ and the believers to do that, because if they die ascribing partners to ALLĀH, or it is known that they died with that belief, then they deserve the punishment and they are bound to remain in hell for eternity; the intercession of those who intercede and the prayers for forgiveness of those who pray for them will be of no benefit.
Moreover, the Prophet ﷺ and those who believed with him are required to go along with their Lord with regard to whatever HE is pleased or angry with, and to take as allies those whom ALLĀH takes as allies, and take as enemies those whom ALLĀH takes as enemies. So their praying for forgiveness for one who is clearly doomed to hell is contrary to that.
{Tafsir As-Sa'di}
Ibn Jarir recorded that Sulayman bin Buraydah said that his father said,
"When the Prophet came to Makkah, he went to a grave, sat next to it, started talking and then stood up with tears in his eyes. We said, 'O ALLĀH's Messenger! We saw what you did.'
He said: "I asked my Lord for permission to visit the grave of my mother and HE gave me permission. I asked for HIS permission to invoke HIM for forgiveness for her, but HE did not give me permission."
We never saw him more tearful than on that day."'

RELATING WITH POLYTHEISTS AND THE ONE WHO DIED UPON POLYTHEISM
It is authentically reported on the authority ofIbn AI-Musyyib from his father, that he said: "When death approached Abu Talib, ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ) came to him, and with him were 'Abdullah Ibn Abi Umayyah and Abu Jahl. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to his uncle: "Oh uncle! Say: Laa ilāha illallāh, a word by which I will plead for you with ALLĀH." But they said: "Will you reject the faith of ‘Abdul Muttalib?" And the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) repeated his words, and again they repeated their question, and so the last testament of Abu Talib was that he reamined upon the religion of 'Abdul Muttalib and he refused to say: Laa ilāha illallāh. So the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: "Verily, I will continue to ask forgiveness for you until I am forbidden to do so." Then ALLĀH revealed:
"It is not for the Prophet or those who believe with him to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even though they be their close relative after it has been made plain to them thatthey are ofthe people ofthe Hell-fire"(9:113)
And concerning Abu Talib, HE revealed: "Verily, you will not guide everyone whom you love, but ALLĀH guides whom HE wills and HE knows bestthose who will be guided." (28:56)
📚 Al-Bukhārī #1360 and Muslim #24
Sa’eed Ibn Al-Musayyib (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) informs us in this Hadith, that when death approached Abu Talib, the Prophet (ﷺ) requested him to pronounce the words of Tawheed (i.e. Laa ilāha illallāh) so that he might be a witness for him to ALLĀH; but Abu Talib's two wicked visitors aroused in him the passion of the Jahiliyyah, reminding him that it was the religion of his ancestors, and so Abu Talib refused to embrace Islam an died upon the religion of his people, after which the Prophet said that he would continue to ask forgiveness for him until ALLĀH forbade him to do so. This he did, until ALLĀH revealed the above-mentioned verse.
Benefits Derived From This Hadith:
1️⃣. The permissibility of visiting the sick, even though he may be a polytheist if the purpose in so doing is the desire to call him to Islam.
2️⃣. That whoever said: Laa ilāha illallāh at the time of death, will be judged by appearances to be a Muslim, even though he may never have done any good deeds or acts ofworship in Islam.
3️⃣. That the most important deeds are one’s final in life.
4️⃣. The obligation to strive in the cause ofpropagating Islam, to be patient and persevering in that cause, and to order the good and forbid the evil.
5️⃣. Refutation of the claim of those who assert that ‘Abdul Muttalib and his forebears were Muslims.
6️⃣. The harm inflicted by the evil people upon the good.
7️⃣. The forbiddance of seeking forgiveness from ALLĀH for the disbelievers and polytheists, even though they be close family members and even though they might perform services for Islam and the Muslims.

PHYSICAL AND VERBAL ETIQUETTES OF EATING AND DRINKING
Anas ibn Malik (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said:
"ALLĀH is indeed pleased with the servant who eats some food – and so he praises HIM for it; and drinks some drink – and so praises HIM for it."
📚 Muslim #2734
Shaikh ‘Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said in explanation of the above hadīth:
In this is a proof that the pleasure of ALLĀH, the Mighty and Majestic, can be attained due to the most slightest reason, so it can be attained due to this simple reason – and for ALLĀH is all praise. ALLĀH is pleased with the person when he finishes eating and says: 'Alhamdulillāh' and when he finishes drinking he says: 'Alhamdulillāh'. That is because eating and drinking has etiquette that is physical as well as etiquette that is verbal.
As for the physical etiquette; then it is that one should eat with the right hand and drink with the right hand, and it is impermissible for him to eat with his left hand or to drink with his left hand – for this is forbidden based upon the predominant opinion/view.
As for the verbal etiquette; then it is that one should pronounce ˹the Name of ALLĀH˺ upon eating, so he says: 'bismillāh', and that which is correct is that pronouncement at the time of eating and drinking is obligatory and that the person is sinful if he does not pronounce the Name of ALLĀH upon his eating or his drinking. Since if he does not do so; if he does not pronounce ˹the Name of ALLĀH˺ upon eating and drinking; then Shaytān eats along with him and drinks along with him.

/channel/alBaseeroh
I don't think I have ever read a book that makes me feel so dejected as this. Not just because of its content, but because its compiler, Abdul-Rahman Ibn Sa'īd (may ALLĀH have mercy on him), left this world at the tender age of just 18. Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rāji'ūn!
His death came as a shock to everyone around him, and rightly so. The moments before death were narrated by his teacher in the introduction of the boook:
"On the night of the 17th of Ramadān, 1422 AH, after leading the people in Salātul-'Ishā and Tarāwīḥ at Masjid Az-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwām in Iskān on Kharj Road, he passed through the 'Azīziyyah neighborhood to run a few errands. But his concern wasn’t for rest or relaxation, he was returning quickly so he wouldn't miss the Qur’an circle he used to teach, in the very mosque where he gave the call to prayer, Masjid al-Fārūq, located in the Armed Forces housing area.
On his way to his students whom he teaches the Qur’an, the Merciful, the Wise, the All-Knowing ALLĀH decreed that he would have a car accident."
Allāhu Akbar! To read the work of someone so young - so devoted, so pure, so full of potential - and to know that they were compiled by a soul who had already returned to his Lord, leaves an ache in the heart. His legacy is not merely in the pages he left behind, but in the tears he brings forth from hearts that never even met him.
This is not just to mourn a loss, it is a wake-up call to us all. Let this young man's life and death be an admonition: Make the best use of your time. Fill your days with good. Live as if death could call you at any moment, because it can. Prepare for it in the best way possible: through sincerity, repentance, and righteous deeds.
May ALLĀH forgive Abdul-Rahman Ibn Sa'īd, raise his rank, and reunite us with him among the righteous.

QUALITIES OF THE RIGHTEOUS WIFE
The woman’s role is to obey her Lord and obey her husband. Hence ALLĀH says:
فَٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ قَٰنِتَٰتٌ حَٰفِظَٰتٌ لِّلۡغَيۡبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ ٱللَّه
So righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in the husband's absence, what ALLĀH orders them to guard.
That is, they obey their husbands even in their absence; the wife guards her husband with regard to herself and his wealth. That is because ALLĀH has enjoined upon them to guard themselves, and HE has guided them to that; they could not do it without HIS help, because the human soul is inclined to evil. But whoever puts his trust in ALLĀH, HE will suffice him and take care of everything that worries him of his religious and worldly affairs.
{Tafsir As-Sa'di}
#sadi #Nisa (4:34)
Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said,
"The best women is she who when you look at her, she pleases you, when you command her she obeys you, and when you are absent, she protects her honor and your property."
{An-Nasā'i #3231}
Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said,
"If the woman prayed her five daily prayers, fasted her month of Ramaḍān, protected her chastity and obeyed her husband, she will be told, 'Enter Paradise from any of its doors you wish.'"

DO NOT HATE A BELIEVING WOMAN
Related by Abu Hurairah(may ALLĀH be pleased with him),
The Prophet ﷺ said: "A believer must not hate (his wife) believing woman; If he finds something in her character he dislikes, he will be pleased by something else." {Muslim}
📚 Riyadh us-Saliheen: Book 1, Chapter 34, Hadith 275
COMMENTARY:
The point of reference is that the Prophet ﷺ enjoins adjudicating with justice and fairness. Thus, he (ﷺ) said: 'A believer must not hate a believing woman.' That is, he should not hate her because of her character; if he dislikes something in her personality, he would be pleased with another.
For instance if she did badly in her response to you at an instance, but she has been good to you more than a few times; she acted poorly on a night, but she has always been good on several nights; she failed to take care of the kids but she had done several good acts...and so on.
Thus, whenever your wife acts in an unsatisfactory manner, you should not isolate the current error for consideration; rather, you should look at the past, consider the future, and be just in passing judgement.
The exhortation of the Prophet ﷺ regarding women is relevant with other people who have a form of interaction, friendship or other social dealings with you. So, if he acts poorly to you a day in the year, you should not forget his kind treatment at other times and equate the two. If the kind acts outweigh the offense, the verdict is in favour of kindness. However, if the offense outweighs the kind acts, so consider it; if he is worthy of pardon, pardon him- and whoever pardons and reconciles, his reward is with ALLĀH. But if he does not fit for pardon, claim your right and you are not at fault. But you should watch out for reconciliation.
The summary is that it is necessary for one to be kind to whomever one has dealings with, be it marriage, friendship, business transactions and others. He should always deal with them fairly; if he dislikes a character of his or treat him badly in a dealing, he should consider his good aspect in order to match the two.

BENEFIT 34: REGARDING SUTRAH
● Benefits (¹):
1. The passing of a young girl who has not yet reached puberty does not invalidate the prayer, because she is not referred to as a "woman." It is reported from Qatadah that he said: "A woman does not invalidate another woman's prayer." He was asked: "Does the passing of a girl who has not reached puberty invalidate the prayer?" He said: "No." (²)
2. A woman passing to the right or left of a man while he is praying does not invalidate his prayer.
3. A woman standing next to a man does not invalidate his prayer. Ā'ishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her) reported: "The Prophet ﷺ used to pray at night while I was lying next to him, and I was menstruating, wearing a thick garment, and part of it was upon him beside me." (³)
● If you are praying in congregation, there is no harm in passing between the rows, because the sutrah (barrier) of the Imām is also a sutrah for the followers. Ibn Abbās (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: " I came riding on a she-ass and I had ˹just˺ then attained the age of puberty. The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ was leading the people in prayer at Mina. I passed in front of the rows, dismounted, let the she-ass graze, and joined the row. No one objected to that." (⁴)

THE IDDAH
The iddah, the interval of time which a woman must observe after divorce or after the death of her husband, before she can remarry. The iddah is obligatory on every woman upon divorcement or widowhood.
The Purpose of the Iddah:
1⃣. To determine the purity of the uterus as well as the paternity of the offspring.
2⃣. To provide a space of time during which reconciliation may take place (in the case of divorce).
3⃣. To impute great importance to marriage, having it consummated by conditions, and dissolved by a waiting period and after contemplation.
4⃣. Paying due respect to spousal relationship that the woman may not remarry another before a waiting period.
5⃣. There is no iddah due on a woman who is divorced before cohabiting with her husband. But if her husband has died before cohabiting with her, she would have to observe an iddah of four months and ten days to pay homage to her husband, and in recognition of his right.
There are Six Categories of Mu'taddat (¹)
1⃣. A pregnant woman, whose husband has died, or she is divorced, or her marriage contract has been nullified, her iddah ends with childbirth. The shortest pregnancy period is six months from the date of marriage, and nine months in most cases.
2⃣. A widow, if she is pregnant, her iddah lasts until childbirth, but if she is not, she would observe the iddah of four months and ten days during which pregnancy can be determined.
3⃣. A woman who is separated from her husband by divorce, khal', or marriage annulmentu while she is not pregnant, her iddah is three menstrual periods.
4⃣. A woman who is separated from her husband but did not reach the age of puberty, her iddah is a period of three months.
5⃣. A woman whose menstruation ceased to continue without knowing the reason, her iddah is a full year, nine months for pregnancy, and three months for regular iddah.
6⃣. A wife of a missing husband, should wait for four years before observing the iddah like that of a widow, four months and ten days from the date of his missing.
* If after the waiting period and the iddah, the wife of a missing husband was married, if her missing husband came back before cohabiting with the second, she would belong to the first, but if he returns after she has cohabited with the second husband, the first husband would have the choice of either taking her back after concluding her iddah, or forgoing his right and retrieving the dowry he gave her.
(1) Mu'taddat pl. of mu'taddah, a woman in her iddah, or waiting period after divorce, or after the death of her husband.

AS-SIRAH AN-NABAWIYYAH (THE PROPHETIC BIOGRAPHY)
Expressing love for the Prophet ﷺ requires more than mere sentimentality. Understanding his Sīrah (biography) is crucial for depth and context.
Studying the Sīrah offers insights into his character, teachings, and struggles, fostering a deeper connection to his mission.
To start with, in shaa ALLĀH, we'll embark on a journey through a summary of the Prophet's Sīrah. Translating the work of Umar Abd al-Jabbar, "Khulasatu Nurul Yaqin," which is a summary of "Nurul Yaqin" written by Shaykh Muhammad al-Khudhary. It is a small and descriptive work on the Sīrah of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
We'll also be taking snippets from Ustadh AbduRahman's series on 'Seerah of Prophet Muhammad'.
May ALLĀH make it easy.

THE COMMAND TO SEEK SHELTER WITH ALLĀH ALONE
ALLĀH says,
فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ
So, flee to ALLĀH!
What is meant is to flee from that which ALLĀH hates, both outwardly and inwardly, to that which HE loves, both outwardly and inwardly, fleeing from ignorance to knowledge, from disbelief to faith, from sin to obedience, and from heedlessness to remembrance of ALLĀH.
Whoever does all of that has done all that religion requires of him; he will be spared all that he fears and he will attain all that he seeks.
ALLĀH describes turning to HIM as fleeing, because turning to anyone other than HIM will result in all kinds of fearful outcomes and troubles, whereas turning to HIM leads to all that one loves, security, joy, happiness and triumph.
You would flee from everyone you fear, except ALLĀH; the more you fear HIM, the more you flee to HIM.
إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
Indeed, I am to you from HIM a clear warner.
That is, I am a warner to you of the punishment of ALLĀH, bringing a clear message of warning.
وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا اخَرَ
And do not associate with ALLĀH any other god.
This is part of fleeing to ALLĀH; rather this is the basis of fleeing to HIM, for a person to flee from taking any other god among the idols, rivals, graves and so on, things that are worshipped besides ALLĀH, and devoting his worship, fear, hope, supplication and repentance to his Lord alone.

YOUR YOUTH BEFORE YOUR OLD AGE
Youth is the prime time of one's life. Youth is the time when a human is no more a child but an adult (time of puberty and maximum strength). It is full of power, drive, desire and energy.
One of the things that most of us take for granted is our youthfulness. When we are young, we are full of energy and are capable of doing so many things for the sake of ALLĀH, but often we see that this energy is wasted in one way or another.
When we lose our youth, we inevitably find it harder to do those deeds and acts of worship that we found somewhat easier to do at a younger age. With old age, we find it harder to keep obligatory fasts, we may not be able perform wudhu properly or to pray properly, and we may not have the energy to recite the Qur'ān very often. ALLĀH says:
"ALLĀH is HE Who created you from a state of weakness then HE gave strength after weakness, then ordained weakness and white hair after strength" (30:54).
Worshipping ALLĀH in one's youth is a sign that ALLAAH intends good for the individual. The Prophet (ﷺ) spoke of the great virtue of a young man who grows up worshipping and obeying ALLĀH, and said that he will be shaded by ALLĀH on the Day of Resurrection, the Day when the sun would draw so close to the people that there would be left only a distance of one mile.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There are seven whom ALLĀH will shade with HIS shade on the Day when there will be no shade but HIS …" among whom he mentioned, "...a young man who grew up worshipping ALLĀH." {Al-Bukhārī and Muslim}
It is also common to hear a category of young people claim that they will start 'practising' Islam when they get older. We should always be mindful of the fact that 'older' may never come round for us. And even if we are blessed with a long life, how can we be sure that we have the health – physical and mental – to practise Islam? ALLĀH says:
"And among you is he who is taken in ˹early˺ death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit ˹old˺ age so that he may know nothing after having known much." (22:5).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to a young Ibn 'Abbās: "Be mindful of ALLĀH and He will take care of you." {At-Tirmidhi #2516}
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali said regarding this: "Whoever is mindful of ALLĀH when he is young and strong, ALLĀH will take care of him when he is old and has become weak, and will bless him with good hearing, eyesight, strength and reasoning. One of the scholars who lived beyond the age of one hundred years and enjoyed good strength and reasoning, jumped up in a lively manner one day and was asked about that. He said: 'I kept these physical faculties from sin when I was young and ALLĀH has preserved them for me now that I am old.'
The opposite also applies; one of the salaf saw an old man begging from people and said: 'This is a weak man who ignored ALLĀH when he was young, so ALLĀH is ignoring him now he has grown old.'" {Jāmi' al-Ulūm wal-Hikam. (1/186)}
Ibn al-Jawzī advised: "O youth! You are like a person traveling in the desert while possessing priceless jewels that he intends to sell in the land of reward, so beware of falling into the trap of your treacherous desire so you do not end up selling what you have for less than of what it is worth. Otherwise, when you reach your destination and see those who made great profits, you will cry for your loss and say, 'Oh how great is my regret over what I neglected in regard to ALLĀH.' However, regret shall never restore what has been missed."
{Awakening From The Sleep of Heedlessness || Page 31}
We ask ALLĀH to grant us the understanding and make it easy for us to work towards the attainment of HIS utmost pleasure.

A Dialogue Between the Companions of Paradise and the Companions of Hellfire.
Читать полностью…BENEFIT 37: REGARDING PRAYER WHILE SITTING OR LYING DOWN
(A) Voluntary prayer is permissible while riding during travel, regardless of whether the journey is long or short. However, it is not permissible as residence (i.e., not traveling). This was previously discussed under the chapter "Condition of Facing the Qiblah."
(B) Voluntary prayer is permissible sitting—even without an excuse—but the reward of the one standing is greater. The prayer of the one sitting carries half the reward of the one standing. From 'Imrān ibn Ḥuṣayn (may ALLĀH be pleased with him), he said: I asked the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ about a man praying while sitting. He said: "If he prays standing, it is better. Whoever prays sitting gets half the reward of the one who stands, and whoever prays lying down gets half the reward of the one who sits." (1)
(C) It is permissible, by consensus of the scholars, to begin the voluntary prayer sitting and then stand. This is based on the ḥadīth of 'Ā'ishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her): "The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ used to pray sitting and would recite while sitting. Then when there remained about thirty or forty verses from his recitation, he would stand and recite while standing, then bow and prostrate, and do the same in the second rak'ah." (2)
(D) It is also permissible to begin the voluntary prayer standing and then sit down, as indicated in the previous ḥadīth.
(E) Sitting posture: Whoever prays sitting, it is better for him to sit as in the position of tashahhud, sitting muftarishan (i.e., sitting with the right foot held upright on the toes, whilst sitting on the left foot) while ˹assuming to be˺ standing and bowing, due to the general meaning of the two ḥādīths of 'Imrān and 'Ā'ishah mentioned earlier, as the apparent meaning of sitting is the customary sitting in prayer.
Although it is permissible to sit cross-legged (tarabbu'u) in prayer, especially if there is a valid excuse. This has been reported from the Prophet (³) and some of his companions (⁴).
As for stretching out the legs while sitting in prayer, it is not permissible except with a valid excuse.
(F) Prayer lying down is permissible due to a valid excuse-whether in obligatory or voluntary prayer-if the person is unable to sit. As for voluntary prayer ˹while lying down˺ without a valid excuse, the majority of scholars say it is not legislated, because it was never reported from the Prophet ﷺ nor from any of his companions that they did it, not even once. I (Abū Mālik) say: if someone holds onto the apparent meaning of the earlier ḥadīth of 'Imrān, "Whoever prays lying down receives half the reward of the one who sits", does that suffice him? The correct view is that it does, and this is the view of Ibn Ḥazm in 《al-Muḥallā》 (3/56), and it was also preferred by Ibn ʿUthaymīn in 《al-Mumti'》 (4/113).
(G) Posture of lying down: Whoever prays while lying down, it is recommended that he lie on his right side, facing the Qiblah with his face, because this is the Sunnah in sleeping. And based on the ḥadīth of 'Ā'ishah: The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ liked to begin from the right in all matters—when putting on his shoes, combing his hair, in purification, and in all his affairs. (⁵)
If he is only able to lie down in a specific position, then that becomes binding for him. And ALLĀH knows best.

BE KIND TO NEIGHBORS, REGARDLESS OF RELIGION
Mujahid reported: We were with Abdullah ibn Amr while his servant prepared to distribute a sheep. Abdullah said, “Young man, when you are finished, then begin with our Jewish neighbor.”
A man said, “Jewish? May Allah correct you!”
Abdullāh said, “I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, enjoining good treatment of our neighbors so often that we feared he would make them our heirs.”

🎬 The Story of How a Young Man Turned His Life Around
- Sheikh Yasser Dossary
HOW TO CATCH UP WITH JUMU'AH PRAYER
One can only catch up with the Jumu'ah prayer if he catches a Rak'ah with the Imām, and catching a Rak'ah - according to the opinion of the majority of the scholars - means catching up with the Ruku' with the Imām. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever catches up with one Rak'ah of the prayer has caught up with the prayer.” {Al-Bukhārī #580; Muslim #607}.
Al-Nawawi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "What we have mentioned about catching up with the rak'ah by catching up with ruku' (bowing) is the correct view, as stated by al-Shafi'i. It was also the view of the majority of our companions and the majority of scholars. It is the apparent meaning of the hadiths and all people are unanimously agreed upon it. There is another view, which is very weak, which suggests that it does not count." {al-Majmu', 4/112}
If he catches up with the Imam before he stands up from Ruku' in the second Rak'ah, then he has caught up with the prayer, and he should then complete your prayer after the Imām says the Salām. He should stand up and complete the remaining Rak'ah of his prayer.
However, if he catches up with the Imam after the Imām has stood up from Ruku', this means that he has missed the Jumu'ah prayer, and has not caught up with it. In this case, he has to pray it as Zuhr. He should stand up after the Imām has said the Salām and complete his prayer with four Rak'ahs because it is Zuhr and not Jumu'ah.
It says in Sahih fiqhus-Sunnah: "This is the view of the companions of the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ).
It was narrated from Ibn Umar (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) that he said: "If a man catches up with one rak'ah of the Friday prayer, he should pray another one with it. And if he finds them sitting, he should pray four rak'ahs." {Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi 3/204 and others}
And it was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) that he said: "Whoever catches up with one rak'ah has caught up with the Friday prayer, and whoever does not catch up with the Friday prayer should pray four rak'ahs." {Musannaf Abd ar-Razzaq #5477}
Sheikhul-Islām (Ibn Taymiyah, may ALLĀH have mercy on him) also narrated from Anas (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) that he said, "No difference of opinion is known among the Companions regarding this, and many others have narrated that this is the consensus of the Companions."
And this is the view of the majority of scholars, Malik, Al-Shafi'i and Ahmad (may ALLĀH have mercy on them) and others." {Sahih fiqhus-Sunnah 1/592)
And ALLĀH knows best.

TEACHING CHILDREN THE RELIGIOUS RULINGS ALONG WITH THEIR RELEVANT PROOFS
Al-'Allāmah Muhammad bin Sālih Al-Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:
"It befits to inculcate the offspring/sons with the rulings along with their proofs…
So for example; if you intended to say to you son: ‘pronounce the name of ALLĀH over the food; and praise ALLĀH when you have finished’ – for if you say that; then by way of that the desired objective is attained.
However; if you were to say: ‘Mention the name of ALLĀH over the food; and praise ALLĀH when you have finished – because the Prophet (ﷺ) commanded with the mention of the name ˹ALLĀH˺ upon eating; and so he said:
"ALLĀH is indeed pleased with the servant who eats some food – and so he praises HIM for it; and drinks some drink – and so praises HIM for it." {Muslim}
If you do that; then you benefit by way of two points of benefit:
The first: is that you accustom your son upon following the proofs.
The second: is that you cultivate him upon loving the Messenger (ﷺ); and that the Messenger (ﷺ) – he is the Imām who is to be followed, the one whom it is obligatory in taking his directives.
This is in reality something which is neglected greatly, for most of the people direct their offspring to the ruling only, however – one does not bind these directives with the source – which is the Book and the Sunnah."

LIVE WITH WOMEN HONORABLY
ALLĀH said,
وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
And live with them honorably,
by saying kind words to them, treating them kindly and making your appearance appealing for them, as much as you can, just as you like the same from them.
ALLĀH said in another Ayah,
وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِى عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
And they have rights similar over them to what is reasonable. (2:228)
The Messenger of ALLĀH said: "The best among you is he who is the best with his family. Verily, I am the best one among you with my family."
It was the practice of the Messenger of ALLĀH to be kind, cheerful, playful with his wives, compassionate, spending on them and laughing with them. The Messenger used to race with Aishah, the Mother of the Faithful, as a means of kindness to her.
Aishah said, "The Messenger of ALLĀH raced with me and I won the race. This occurred before I gained weight, and afterwards I raced with him again, and he won that race. He (ﷺ) said: "This (victory) is for that (victory)."
When the Prophet was at the home of one of his wives, sometimes all of his wives would meet there and eat together, and they would then go back to their homes. He and his wife would sleep in the same bed, he would remove his upper garment, sleeping in only his lower garment. The Prophet used to talk to the wife whose night it was, after praying Isha' and before he went to sleep.
ALLĀH said,
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
Indeed in the Messenger of ALLĀH you have a good example to follow. (33:21)
{Tafsir Ibn Kathīr}
#ibnkathir #nisa (4:19)
Invite to the way of your Lord (i.e., Islām) with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from HIS way, and HE is most knowing of who is ˹rightly˺ guided.
And if you punish ˹an enemy, O believers˺, punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.
And be patient, and your patience is not but through ALLĀH. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire.
Indeed, ALLĀH is with those who fear HIM and those who are doers of good.

VIRTUES AND REWARDS OF ATTENDING CONGREGATIONAL ṢALĀH
Abu Hurairah (May ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: "The reward for Ṣalāh performed by a person in congregation is more than Twenty-something times greater than that of the Ṣalāh performed in one's house or shop. When one performs Wudu' perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of performing Ṣalāh, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and one of his sins is eliminated until he enters the mosque, and when he enters the mosque, he is considered as performing Ṣalāh as long as it is the Ṣalāh which prevents him ˹from leaving the mosque˺; and the angels keep on supplicating ALLĀH for him as long as he remains in his place of prayer. They say: 'O ALLĀH! have mercy on him; O ALLĀH! forgive his sins; O ALLĀH! accept his repentance'. This will carry on as long as he does not pass wind". {Al-Bukhari and Muslim}.
📚 Riyādhus-Saliḥīn #10
LESSONS AND BENEFITS:
1️⃣. The merit of praying in congregation at the masjid.
2️⃣. It is recommended that a man makes ablution at home to join the congregational prayer, in order to increase the reward.
3️⃣. Intention is primarily considered in securing such a great reward while failing to evoke a sincere intention reduces the reward.
4️⃣. Waiting to do a good deed is in itself a good deed.
My dear Muslim brother, may ALLĀH grant you success! Bear in mind that attending the congregational prayer is an individual obligation on every Muslim man who hears the Adhān (call to prayer) and does not have a valid excuse for not attending. The proofs of its obligation are many, such as the saying of ALLĀH Almighty: "When you ˹O Prophet˺ are with them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand ˹in prayer˺ with you..." (4:102) ALLĀH mandated the congregational prayer even when Muslims are at war and fear an enemy attack. So, it is obvious that it is obligatory at times of peace and safety with greater reason.
In addition, there is proof in the Sunnah that the congregational prayer is obligatory upon the blind man; so, how about the one who can see?

HADITH ON FITNAH: YOU WILL ENDURE FIVE TYPES OF TRIALS
Ibn Umar, may Allāh be pleased with them, reported: The Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
“O emigrants, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge in Allāh that you will live to see them.
• Promiscuity never becomes widespread among people but that they will be afflicted by plagues and diseases that were unknown to their forefathers.
• They do not cheat in weights and measures but that they will be stricken with famine, calamity, and the oppression of rulers.
• They do not withhold charity from their wealth but that rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, there would be no rain at all.
• They do not break their covenant with Allāh and His Messenger but that Allāh will enable their enemies to overpower them and take what is in their hands.
• Their leaders must rule according to the Book of Allāh and seek every good from what Allāh has revealed, lest Allāh place violence among them.”
