THERE IS NO DOUBT IN THE QUR'AN

ALLĀH says;

ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ
This is the Book, wherein there is no doubt

"This is the Book" that is, this great Book is the Book in a true sense; it contains that which the previous Books did not contain of great knowledge and clear truth. So "there is no doubt" about it in any way, shape or form. Stating that there is no doubt implies the opposite; the opposite of doubt is certainty, so this Book contains certain knowledge that dispels doubt. This is a useful principle to note, that when it is stated that something is not the case, that inevitably refers to the opposite.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

Some scholars stated that this Ayah contains a prohibition meaning,

"Do not doubt the Qur'an."

WHY DO YOU WORSHIP ALLĀH?

˹The believer's response, as ALLĀH mentioned˺:

وَمَا لِىَ لَآ أَعۡبُدُ ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ
And why should I not worship HE who created me and to whom you will be returned?

That is, what is there to prevent me from worshipping the One Who is truly deserving of worship, because HE is the One Who originated me, created me, grants me provision, and to HIM is the return of all creatures, then HE will requite them for their deeds? He is the One in Whose Hand are creation and provision, and judgement between people in this world and the hereafter; therefore HE is the only One Who deserves to be worshipped, praised and glorified, to the exclusion of those who possess no power to benefit or harm, give or withhold, give life, cause death or resurrect.

THE ENCOURAGEMENT TO STICK TO THE RIGHT PATH AND RESIST TEMPTATIONS

ALLĀH says,

وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ
"ALLĀH wants to accept your repentance", that is, by means of repentance that helps you to start anew, fills your hearts with peace and brings you closer to ALLĀH.

وَيُرِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ أَن تَمِيلُواْ مَيۡلًا عَظِيمًا
"but those who follow their desires wish to see you deviate entirely ˹from the right path˺." that is, those who go along with their whims and desires wherever they lead them, and give precedence to that over that which pleases ALLĀH; they worship their whims and desires. (This refers to) all types of disbelievers, sinners and those who give precedence to their whims and desires over obedience to their Lord.

These people "wish to see you deviate entirely ˹from the right path" that is, they want you to deviate from the straight path and follow the path of those with whom ALLĀH is angry and those who have gone astray. They want to divert you from obedience to the Most Merciful to obedience to the Shaytan, from adherence to the guidelines that lead to happiness by obeying HIS commands to following the one whose way leads to utter misery.

Once you realise that ALLĀH enjoins upon you that which is in your best interests and will lead to success and happiness, and that those who follow their whims and desires are enjoining upon you that which will lead to the utmost loss and misery, then choose for yourselves the better of the two callers and choose the better of the two paths.

Ibn Mas’ud (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

Then, the Prophet recited the verse, “Verily, this is the straight path, so follow it and do not follow other ways.” {Al-An’aam: Verse 153}

THE HAPPY ONE IS HE WHO SCRUTINISES HIMSELF

Abu al-faraj Ibn al-Jawzī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

I wonder at the one who exists and yet cannot understand the meaning of existence! If he does, his actions contravene his understanding for he knows for a fact that his life span is short, yet wastes his life sleeping, seeking worldly pleasures and indulging in idle talk all the while his days should be spent in worship not in idleness.

Though religion ordains that he is to spend ˹part of˺ his wealth going against his innate nature, he decides to be a miser. As soon as he is on his deathbed however, he bequeaths that after he dies, to give away his wealth in charity and do with it such and such! What does he expect this to be although it is unlikely he will enact this?

The reason for the order to spend his wealth ˹for the sake of ALLĀH˺ during his lifetime and while being in a good state of health is to oppose his difficult innate nature that is disposed to collecting wealth and not giving it away!

If you are a person with intellect, you will notice the big difference between the two cases because the one who is content will scrutinise himself and act upon that. He will conclude by his intellect and benefit from time that will come to an end; he will take advantage of his life because its end will be very soon.

Woe to you! What benefit do you find in saving wealth that adds no good deeds to your balance nor will it be a landmark in history.

Have you not heard of the amounts that Abu Bakr (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) gave away in charity as opposed to the miserliness of Tha'labah?

Have you not noticed the effect of praising Ḥātim as opposed to the niggardliness of Al-Ḥabāhib?

Woe to you! If you were to be tested with your wealth, losing some of it; or if you were tested in your health and become sick for one night, you would have complained and yet you still receive what you ask ALLĀH for.

All the while you do not fulfil HIS right upon you. Indeed, your example is like those whom ALLĀH condemned in the verse,

وَیۡلࣱ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِینَ
Woe to those who give less ˹than due˺. (83:1)

LOYALTY TO THE MESSENGER OF ALLĀH (ﷺ).

ALLĀH tells the believers something by which they may recognise the true status of the Messenger (ﷺ) and interact with him accordingly.

ٱلنَّبِىُّ أَوۡلَىٰ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ مِنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ
The Prophet has a greater claim over the believers ˹and is closer to them˺ than their own selves.

The closest of things to any person is his own self, but the Messenger (ﷺ) is closer to him than his own self, because he showed them sincerity, compassion and kindness that proved him to be the most merciful and kindest of all people. Thus they owe the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) more than they owe anyone else, for not the slightest good reached them and not the slightest harm was warded off from them but it was because of him.

Therefore it became a must on them, in the event of a conflict between what they or any of the people want and what the Messenger (ﷺ) wants, that precedence must be given to what the Messenger (ﷺ) wants, and the word of the Messenger (ﷺ) should not be contradicted by the view of anyone, no matter who he is. They should be ready to sacrifice themselves, their wealth and their children to protect him, and give precedence to loving him over loving others; they should not speak until he speaks or put themselves forward before him.

Beautified for people is the love of that which they covet - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but ALLĀH has with HIM the best return (i.e., Paradise).

5️⃣0️⃣ SAYINGS AND ACTIONS WITH GREAT REWARDS.

4️⃣. Remembrance of ALLĀH upon entering the marketplace.

On the authority of Umar bin al-Khattab (may ALLĀH be pleased with him), from the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ), that he said: "Whoever entered the marketplace and then said:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلهُ الْحَمْدُ، يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ، بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

La ‘ilāha ‘illallāhu waḥdahu laa shareeka lahu, Lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, Yuhyee wa yumeetu, wa Huwa Ḥayyun Laa Yamootu, bi yadihil-khayru, wa Huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in Qadeer.

None has the right to be worshipped except ALLĀH, alone, without any partner. HIS is the kingdom and HIS is the praise. HE gives life and HE causes death. HE is the Ever-Living and HE does not die. In HIS Hand is all good, and HE is Able to do all things.

then, ALLĀH will record for him one million (1,000,000) good deeds, and erase from his record one million (1,000,000) bad deeds, and raise him up one million (1,000,000) degrees (ie., in Paradise)."

{Al-Tirmidhi #3429 and Ibn Majah #2235, and Shaykh Al-Albani classed it as ḥasan in Silsilat al-Aḥadith as-Saḥiḥah #3139}

It was also reported with the additional words: "…and ˹ALLĀH˺ will build for him a house in Paradise." {At-Tirmidhi #3429}

Shaykh ‘Abdur-Razzaq al-Badr (may ALLĀH preserve him upon goodness) said: "The wisdom behind the achievement of this tremendous reward is due to the distinction earned by someone who remembers ALLĀH and busies himself with affairs concerning the Hereafter – in exaltation of ALLĀH – while being surrounded by the people of the marketplace who are totally occupied with trading and making money, making false oaths and telling lies in order to sell their goods, totally unmindful of the remembrance of their Lord. There is no doubt that the one who remembers ALLĀH in this situation is deserving of a great reward from his Lord."

THE MEANS TO ATTAINING MERCY

ALLĀH says,

وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَأةَ وَاتُوا الزَّكَاةَ
And establish prayer and give zakāh

Here ALLĀH enjoins establishing prayer with all of its essential parts, conditions and etiquette, both outwardly and inwardly, and the giving of zakah from the wealth that ALLĀH has entrusted to HIS slaves and given to them, by giving it to the poor and others whom ALLĀH has designated as recipients of zakah. These two are the greatest and most virtuous acts of worship, in which are combined the fulfilment of duties towards ALLĀH and towards HIS creation, in which the individual shows devotion to ALLĀH and shows kindness to people. That is followed by a general command:

وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ
and obey the Messenger

by complying with what he enjoins and refraining from what he forbids.

مَّن یُطِعِ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَقَدۡ أَطَاعَ ٱللَّهَۖ
Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed ALLĀH... {An-Nisāʾ: 80}

If you do this (i.e obey the Messenger ﷺ)

لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
that you may receive mercy.

Whoever seeks mercy, this is the way to attain it. Whoever hopes to find mercy without establishing prayer, giving zakâh and obeying the Messenger ﷺ is indulging in wishful thinking and is lying; his nafs has made him feel content with wishful thinking.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY MIRACLES

Shaykul Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

We find that many of these people merely depend upon the fact that a particular individual was able to unveil certain realities or perform some miraculous feats to prove that he is a Waliyy of ALLĀH. Examples of such feats would be his pointing at a person who subsequently dies, or his flying through the air to Makkah or any other city, or his walking on water, or filling a pot from nothing, or his vanishing in front of people, or some people seeking relief and succour with him while he was absent or dead and they see him coming to them and fulfilling their need, or his telling people the whereabouts of their stolen property, or his telling them of the condition of one who is absent or sick, or other similar matters. None of these matters prove that the one doing them is a Waliyy of ALLĀH, rather the Awliyā' of ALLĀH are agreed that if a person were to fly through the air or walk on water, none should be deceived by him until his following of the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) and his conforming to his order and prohibition are confirmed.

The miracles granted the Awliyā' are greater than the matters mentioned above, for even though these matters may be extraordinary, both the Awliyā' of ALLĀH and HIS enemies can perform them. They can be performed by many of the disbelievers, polytheists, People of the Book, hypocrites, People of Innovation and the devils. Hence it is not permissible to believe that whosoever performs such feats is a Waliyy of ALLĀH, rather the standard for judging them to be the Awliyā' of ALLĀH is by comparing their attributes, actions and states to the Book and the Sunnah. They are known by the light of faith and the Qur’an, by actualising the inner realities of faith and the outward laws of Islām.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SINCERITY IN JANĀZAH PRAYER

Praying the janāzah prayer has a great significance for the deceased if ALLĀH accepts it from those that pray over the deceased, as occurs in the hadīth of ‘Aaishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her) who said that the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said:

"There is no deceased person over whom a group of Muslims whose number reaches a hundred pray for, all of them interceding for him, except that their intercession will be accepted for him." {Muslim #947}

There occurs similarly in the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbās (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) who said: I heard the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) say:

"There is no Muslim man who dies; and so forty men stand ˹in prayer˺ over his janāzah who do not associate anything along with ALLĀH, except that ALLĀH will accept their intercession for him. {Muslim #948}

Al-Qurtubī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) stated the reason for the different numbers of people praying in the Janāzah prayer as stated in the two hadīth above: "It has been said that the reason for this difference is due to a difference of the question itself, and that is because he (ﷺ) was asked on an occasion concerning the one over whom a hundred people prayed and interceded for him, so he said: their intercession was accepted. Likewise he was asked on another occasion concerning the one over whom forty people prayed, so he said answered with the like of that, and had he have been asked concerning less than that – then he would have said that – and ALLĀH Knows best. Since; the supplication of a single individual could be answered and his intercession accepted." {Al-Mufhim, 2/605}

Imām Ash-Shawkānī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "In it is the desirability of the increased number of the congregation for the janāzah prayer, and their want of reaching this number which becomes from the necessitating reasons for success, and that is stipulated with two affairs:

The first: that they should be those that seek to make intercession for him, meaning: sincere in supplication for him, asking of forgiveness for him.

The second: that they should be Muslims, there being none from amongst them who associates anything as partners with ALLĀH, as occurs in the hadīth of Ibn ‘Abbās." {Nayl al-Awtār, 7/340}

Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH  have  mercy  on  him) mentioned that the Prophet (ﷺ) would command with sincerity when making supplication for the deceased and this is in order for the supplication to be answered, as occurs in the hadīth of Abī Hurairah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) who said that the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said:

"When you pray over the deceased, then be sincere in supplication for him." {Abū Dāwūd #3199}

{Zādul Ma’ād, 1/507}

Regarding this sincerity Imām Ash-Shawkānī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "It should be for the one who is praying over the deceased that he is sincere in supplication for him, whether he (the deceased) had been a doer of good or a doer of evil, for indeed the one who was mantled in sins is the most neediest of people for the supplication of his Muslim brothers and is the most impoverished in respect to their intercession." {Nayl al-Awtār,7/368}

These indicates that the deceased benefits from the abundance of people who pray the janāzah prayer upon him and are sincere in their supplication and request from ALLĀH, that HE Forgives the deceased, and this is what is meant by their intercession of him.

O ALLĀH forgive our living and our dead, those who are with us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our menfolk and our womenfolk.

BENEFICIAL POINTS FROM SŪRAH AN-NISĀ', VERSE 7-9.

1⃣. Do you still have the traits of the period of ignorance in you?
During the time of ignorance (Pre-Islamic period), people would deny children and women their share of inheritance. Islam, however, says otherwise and obligates that everyone has the right to inherit, even though their shares vary according to the degree of their relationship to the deceased.

2⃣. Do not go against the Wisdom of the Most Wise, Most Merciful.
Adhere to the Islamic ruling on inheritance. Thinking there are better ways to distribute your inheritance is going against the wisdom of ALLĀH, as HE HIMSELF has ordained the share of each inheritor. You must not transgress these ordinations or fall short.

3⃣. Give to the needy.
One of the sublime teachings of Islam, as indicated in the Ayah, is that you should give to those who hope for or show interest in what is within your capability.

4⃣. Kind words are charity.
ALLĀH urges that in situations where one cannot give due to some reason, one should turn the hopeful person away gently by saying kind words, as the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned: "A kind word is charity." {Al-Bukhārī #2989}

5⃣. Do unto others what you wish to be done to you.

COMMENTARY:
The two practices are difficult. But those who manage to keep them will be richly rewarded by ALLĀH. There is a third category of men who fail to observe the above mentioned voluntary practices. Yet they are polite, and courteous in their behaviour towards others and by virtue of this sociable quality, they will also be graded up in the two other categories. And this highlights the significance and excellence of a polite and pleasing behaviour.

THE MEANING OF ALLĀHUMMA SALLI ALAA MUḤAMMADIN

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

What is the meaning of supplicating blessings upon the Prophet? That is, what is the meaning of the saying of one who says: Allāhumma salli alaa Muḥammad? Most people read this supplication or beseech ALLĀH with it without understanding its meaning. This is a mistake. It is obligatory for you to know the meaning of everything you say or supplicate with so that you will not supplicate with what contains sin.

Therefore, your saying “Allāhumma Salli alaa Muḥammadin” means, ‘O ALLĀH praise him in the highest assembly’. And the meaning of ‘praise him’ is ‘mention him with praiseworthy attributes’. And the highest assembly refers to the angels. So when you say, “Allāhumma Salli alaa Muḥammadin” is as if you are saying, ‘O Lord, describe him with praiseworthy attributes and mention him before the Angels so that they will increase in their love for him and his reward will increase with it’. This is the meaning of Allāhumma Salli alaa Muḥammadin.

7️⃣. Reading the Qur'an.

The Book of ALLĀH is like none other. If only we are deceiving ourselves, there is no better deed in amassing rewards and blessings than the recitation of the Qur'an. Reading the Qur'an holds immense rewards, with each letter earning the reader tenfold blessings, especially for those who persevere despite difficulties. On the Day of Resurrection, the Qur'an will intercede for its reciters. Its benefits extend to this life, offering tranquillity, guidance, and a closer connection to ALLĀH while serving as an intercessor on Judgment Day.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of ALLĀH, he will receive one good deed as ten good deeds like it. I am not saying that 'Alif, Lām, Mīm' is a letter, rather I am saying that ‘Alif’ is a letter, ‘Lām’ is a letter and ‘Mīm’ is a letter."{Sunan al-Tirmidhī #2910}

‘Aa'ishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her) related that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "One who is proficient in the Qur'an is associated with the noble, upright, recording angels; and he who falters in it, and finds it difficult for him, will have two rewards." {Muslim #798}

Al-haafith Ad-Diyaa’ said concerning Ibrahim Ibn ‘Abdil-Wahid Al-Maqdisi: He advised me at the time I travelled ˹for seeking knowledge˺: "Increase in recitation of the Qur'an and do not leave it. For indeed whatever you seek will be facilitated for you proportionate to what you recite."

Al-haafith Ad-Diyaa’ then said: "I saw that and experienced it many times. If I recited a lot, then listening to ḥadith and writing a great deal of it down would become easy. When I didn’t recite, that wouldn’t become easy for me."

{Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali, Dhail At-Tabaqat Al-Hanabilah, 3/205}

It should be noted that we only mentioned a few of the numerous benefits of reading and reflecting on the Qur'an. Many other benefits await your reading of the Qur'an, such as the chapter of the Qur'an that will plead on your behalf in the grave, and that it is a physical healing, a source of rest and relaxation for your heart, among many other things.

May ALLĀH make us from the people of the Qur'an. Āmīn.

KNOWLEDGE BEING THE BEST OF THESE THREE THINGS CITED IN THE ḤADĪTH

Regarding the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ),

"When a person dies, his deeds are cut off from him except for three: a continuous charity, or knowledge which is benefitted from, or a righteous son who supplicates for him." {Muslim #1631}

Shaikh ‘Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said when discussing the best of the three things mentioned in this ḥadīth: "The best of these three things is knowledge that is benefitted from, because continuous charity will come to an end, and the righteous son will die, whilst knowledge remains. So if you wish to make reflection then reflect by way of the scholars who died hundreds of years ago, you will find that their books are in the hands of the people today – they are benefitting by way of them, so it is as if they are teaching them, and it is due to this that I encourage our youth upon seeking legislated knowledge by way of which they benefit themselves in their lives as well as after their deaths. They benefit the Muslims by way of it, rather they benefit Islaam by way of it." {Fatāwa Noor ‘alaa ad-Darb, 6/165}

The Shaikh (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said similarly: "Imām Aḥmad for example; how long has it been since he has been deceased? And Shaikh ul Islām Ibn Taymiyyah, how long has he been deceased? And yet the people do not cease to benefit from their knowledge! So be ardent my Muslim brother upon knowledge, since there is nothing that is equal to it." {Sharḥ Riyadhus-Saliḥīn, 4/568}

This is from that which better helps understand the statement of Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) when he said: "Whoever loves that his action should not be cut off after his death; then let him disseminate knowledge." {At-Tadhkirah, page 55}

May ALLĀH grant us beneficial knowledge. Āmīn

REMEDYING SICKNESSES AND AFFLICTIONS BY WAY OF PERFORMING ACTS OF GOOD

Shaikh ul Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Many of the sick people – or most of the sick people are cured without medical treatment. ALLĀH cures them with that which HE has created within them from innate potencies in their bodies that are relieving of sickness. As well as in that which HE has facilitated for them from a type of physical exercise and activity, or by way of a supplication that is answered or remedial recitation that is beneficial, or strength of the heart and excellence of Tawakkul (reliance) and so forth from the many means other than medication." {Majmu’ Fatāwa, 21/563}

Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "And from the greatest remedies for sickness is to carry out good and to show excellence and to make remembrance of ALLĀH and to make supplication and having humility and making earnest implore to ALLĀH and to make repentance. Since these affairs have an effect in repelling the ailments and for the attainment of cure – greater than natural medicines. However; this is in accordance to the willingness of the soul and of its acceptance and its belief in that and of its benefit." {Zādul Ma’ād, 4/144}

Ibn Al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) also stated: "Indeed, sadaqah has a remarkable effect in repelling an array of tribulations, even if it (sadaqah) were to come from a wicked sinner or an oppressor – rather even from a disbeliever. For indeed; ALLĀH, the Most High, by way of it repels an array of tribulations, and this is an affair which is known by the people – their exclusive ones as well as the general ones, and the people of the earth – all of them acknowledge that – because they have indeed experienced it." {Al-Waabil as-Sayyib, page 69}

This is not to say that a person should not seek contemporary medical treatment for sickness and ailment, rather it is encouraged to remedy one’s illness by treating it appropriately, and in some cases it may be necessary to do so in order to avoid a further deterioration in health. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Seek treatment, but do not seek treatment by the unlawful." {Sunan Abī Dāwūd #3874}

Shaikh bin Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "What is correct in regard to undergoing medical treatment is that it is recommended and legislated, it was mentioned by An-Nawawī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) and others from a multitude of the scholars, and that it is the saying of the majority." {Abridged from Fataawa Noor ‘alaa Darb || Vol. 1, Page 355}

May ALLĀH, The Most High, bestow HIS Favour upon us and grant us sound health and well-being, and cure those who are sick from amongst us, indeed HE is The All-Hearing, The One Who Responds to the supplications of those who call upon HIM.

BENEFICIAL POINTS FROM SŪRAH AL-ANFĀL, VERSE 2-4

1⃣. Take yourself to account.
In these verses, ALLĀH mentioned five characteristics of true believers. How many of those characteristics do you possess?

2⃣. Contemplation over mere recitation.
While the recitation of the Qur'an is very rewarding, it shouldn't take the place of contemplation. This is one of the main reasons for the revelation of the Qur'an and has a more lasting effect on an individual's heart than mere recitation.

3⃣. Faith increases and decreases.
Sometimes you feel like standing the whole night in prayer, and sometimes you won't have the urge to wake up for the Fajr prayer. These things happen to everyone. The believer takes the means to increase their faith by doing acts of obedience, while the hypocrite falters by returning to acts of disobedience.

4⃣. Take care of your Salāh.
Due to the importance of Salāh, you will struggle to find a mention of the characteristics of believers that excludes Salāh. Salāh should be performed regularly, punctually, correctly, and lovingly.

5⃣. Spend from ALLĀH'S provision to you.
A believer spends on others from whatever ALLĀH has provided them, whether obligatory or non-obligatory. This includes giving Zakah, spending on family, charity, and all sorts of good deeds because the most beloved among ALLĀH's creation to HIM are the most beneficial to HIS creation.

6⃣. Strive for the best.
The believers' levels in Jannah are of varying degrees according to the level of their deeds. Just as we strive for the best in this world, we should strive even more for that which is everlasting, the best degree in Paradise, where there is that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has it ever crossed the mind of man.

5️⃣0️⃣ SAYINGS AND ACTIONS WITH GREAT REWARDS.

6️⃣. Visiting the Sick.

Visiting the sick is one of the most rewarding tasks as numerous hadiths speak of its virtue, such as the words of the Prophet (ﷺ), narrated by 'Ali (may ALLĀH be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) say:

"There is no Muslim who visits a ˹sick˺ Muslim early in the morning but seventy thousand angels send blessings upon him until evening comes, and if he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels send blessings upon him until morning comes, and he will have a garden in Paradise." {At-Tirmidhi #969}

Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The Prophet (ﷺ) did not specify any particular day or time for visiting the sick, rather he prescribed that for his ummah by night and by day, at all times." {Zad al-Ma’ad, 1/497}

In another ḥadith, the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: "Whoever visits a sick person or visits a brother in Islam, a caller cries out to him: ‘May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you occupy a dignified position in Paradise’." {At-Tirmidhi #2008}

Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh (may ALLĀH preserve him upon goodness) said in response to a question on the ḥadith in at-Tirmidhi #969: "It seems that this is specific for illness. Because the sick is the one who is in need of visit; ˹so that˺ he becomes happy in the company of his ˹Muslim˺ brother, rejoices when seeing him, and he (the visitor) bandages his wounds, comforts him during his calamity, helps him to remain patient, he (the sick) is in need of advice, he (the visitor) helps him to settle his debt and other than that. On the other hand there is ˹undoubtedly˺ virtue in a Muslim visiting his Muslim brother, however its virtue; the virtue of visiting the sick is greater." {Source}

May ALLĀH grant our sick ones complete shifa and a speedy recovery, and grant us the ability to fulfill this prophetic tradition.

The Prophet (ﷺ)never protested in the streets of Makkah though he and his companions were oppressed and persecuted for 13 years in Makkah. They never once blocked the streets or participated in sit-ins. However, the Prophet (ﷺ) would constantly advise them to be patient and remind them of their duty to their Lord.

So to oppose this methodology is to oppose the Prophet (ﷺ)as he said: "You will have rulers over you who will not follow my Sunnah, nor my guidance. There will be amongst them men who will have the hearts of devils in the bodies of humans."

When asked how one is to behave towards such oppressive Muslim rulers, he responded: "Listen and obey the ruler, even if he takes your wealth and beats you in your back. Listen and obey." {Muslim #1847}

He also said: "Whoever disapproves of something done by his ruler then he should be patient, for whoever disobeys the ruler even a little (little = a span) will die as those who died in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance. (i.e. as rebellious Sinners)." {Bukhari #7053}

So patience is very important in times of hardship. There is tremendous wisdom behind this because of the great bloodshed and anarchy that results in standing up against those in authority.

May ALLĀH rectify our affairs.

WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT GIVEN EQUAL PROVISION

Ubayy ibn Ka’b (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: In regards to the saying of ALLĀH Almighty:

وَإِذۡ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِیۤ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمۡ ذُرِّیَّتَهُمۡ وَأَشۡهَدَهُمۡ عَلَىٰۤ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَلَسۡتُ بِرَبِّكُمۡۖ
"As your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their loins, their progeny and HE made them testify against themselves: Am I not your Lord?" {Al-A'arāf: Verse 172}.

Adam (upon him be peace) looked at his progeny and he saw the rich and the poor, those with a beautiful appearance and otherwise. Adam said, "O Lord, why did YOU not provide the same to all YOUR servants?"

ALLĀH said, "Verily, I love to be thanked."

{Musnad Aḥmad #21232}

Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said, "If all of them were given equal amounts of blessings and well-being, the blessed one would not recognize its extent and not offer gratitude, as he would not see anyone but in the same situation as him. Among the strongest means of gratitude and greatest of them to extract it from the servant is that he sees others in a contrary situation to his."

THE MOST HATEFUL WORD TO ALLĀH

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said:

"The most hateful statement to ALLĀH is for a man to say to another man, ‘Fear ALLĀH!’

and he replies, ‘Mind yourself!’"
