Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"What a servant dislikes may be better for him than what he likes. What he dislikes inspires him to supplicate to ALLĀH, and what he likes distracts him from it (supplication to ALLĀH)."

VIRTUE OF SINCERE REPENTANCE

ALLĀH says,

وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَدۡعُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِى حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا يَزۡنُونَۚ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ يَلۡقَ أَثَامًا
And those who do not invoke with ALLĀH another deity or kill the soul which ALLĀH has forbidden, except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse - and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.

يُضَٰعَفۡ لَهُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَيَخۡلُدۡ فِيهِۦ مُهَانًا
The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace;

إِلاَّ مَن تَابَ وَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلً صَالِحًا
Except those who repent and believe, and do righteous deeds;

means, those who do these evil deeds will be punished in the manner described,

إِلاَّ مَن تَابَ
Except those who repent,

that is; those who repent in this world to ALLĀH from all of those deeds, for then ALLĀH will accept their repentance. This is evidence that the repentance of the murderer is acceptable, and there is no contradiction between this and the Ayah in Surah An-Nisa':

وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُوْمِناً مُّتَعَمِّداً
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, (4:93)

because even though this was revealed in Al-Madinah, the meaning is general, and it could be interpreted to refer to one who does not repent, because this Ayah states that forgiveness is only for those who repent.

Moreover ALLĀH says:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَن يَشَأءُ
Verily, ALLĀH forgives not that partners should be set up with Him, but He forgives except that to whom He wills. (4:48)

And in the authentic Sunnah, it is reported from the Messenger of ALLĀH that the repentance of a murderer is acceptable, as was stated in the story of the person who killed one hundred men and then repented, and ALLĀH accepted his repentance, and other Hadiths.

فَأُوْلَيِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّيَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
for those, ALLĀH will change their sins into good deeds, and ALLĀH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Dharr, may ALLĀH be pleased with him, said, "The Messenger of ALLĀH said: "I know the last person who will be brought forth from Hell, and the last person who will enter Paradise. A man will be brought and it will be said,

"Take away his major sins and ask him about his minor sins."

So it will be said to him: "On such and such a day, you did such and such, and on such and such a day, you did such and such."

He will say, "Yes, and he will not be able to deny anything."

Then it will be said to him: "For every evil deed you now have one good merit."

He will say:"O Lord, I did things that I do not see here."

He (Abu Dharr) said:

"And the Messenger of ALLĀH smiled so broadly that his molars could be seen."

Muslim recorded it.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Jabir heard Makhul say,

"A very old man with sunken eyes came and said, 'O Messenger of ALLĀH, a man betrayed others and did immoral deeds, and there was no evil deed which he did not do. If (his sins) were to be distributed among the whole of mankind, they would all be doomed. Is there any repentance for him?"

The Messenger of ALLĀH said: "Have you become Muslim?"

He said, "As for me, I bear witness that there is no God but ALLĀH Alone, with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is HIS servant and Messenger."

The Prophet said: "ALLĀH will forgive you for whatever you have done like that, and will replace your evil deeds with good merits."

The man said: "O Messenger of ALLĀH, even my betrayals and immoral actions?"

The Prophet said: "Even your betrayals and immoral actions."

"The man went away saying 'Lā ilaha illallāh' and 'Allāhu Akbar."'

ALLĀH tells us how HIS mercy extends to all His creatures, and that whoever among them repents to HIM, HE will accept his repentance for any sin, great or small.

BENEFIT 08: REGARDING RITUAL BATH ON FRIDAY

If someone experiences janabah on Friday, one ghusl is sufficient:

If a person becomes junub on Friday, one ghusl suffices for both janabah and the Friday ghusl if both are intended. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars. They said: We found that one wudu and one tayammum are sufficient for all impurities that invalidate wudu’, and one ghusl suffices for multiple instances of janabah, one ghusl suffices for days of menstruation, and one tawaf suffices for both 'umrah and Ḥajj in qiran. Therefore, the same applies to everything that necessitates ghusl.

Ibn Hazm disagreed and held that multiple ghusls are required for multiple causes, and he elaborated extensively in his critique of the majority opinion. Those interested should refer to his detailed discussion. (1)

THE PROHIBITION OF SWEARING TO ABANDON A GOOD DEED

ALLĀH commands,

وَلَا تَجْعَلُواْ اللّهَ عُرْضَةً لاِّاَيْمَانِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ وَتُصْلِحُواْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَاللّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
And make not ALLĀH's ˹Name˺ an excuse in your oaths against your doing good, and fearing ALLĀH and making peace among people. And ALLĀH is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

The purpose of oaths and vows is to show veneration of that by which you swear and to confirm the action for which you swore the oath. ALLĀH has commanded us to guard our oaths, which implies fulfilling them in all cases. But HE made an exception from that, if fulfilling the oath implies not doing something that is dearer to HIM. HE has forbidden HIS slaves to make their oath a hindrance, that is to let the oath be an obstacle that prevents them from doing righteous deeds, doing good, guarding against evil or making peace between people.

The one who swears not to do something that is obligatory must break his oath, and it is haram for him to fulfil his oath. The one who swears not to do something that is mustahabb (recommended) is encouraged to break his oath. The one who swears to do something that is haram is obliged to break his oath; if he swears to do something makrooh (disliked), it is recommended for him to break his oath. With regard to permissible matters, he should guard his oath and not break it.

This verse points to the famous principle that when choosing between many options that may serve many purposes, the most important should be given precedence. In this case, fulfilling the oath serves a purpose, but obeying the commands of ALLĀH with regard to these matters serves a greater purpose, therefore it should take precedence.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

Abu Huraira reported ALLAH's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: "He who took an oath and (later on) found another thing better than that, he should do that which is better, and expiate for the vow (broken by him)." {Muslim #1650}

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "By ALLĀH, if anyone of you insists on fulfilling an oath by which he may harm his family, he commits a greater sin in ALLĀH's sight than that of dissolving his oath and making expiation for it." {Al-Bukhārī #6625}

Ibn Abbas (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: While the Prophet (ﷺ) was giving a sermon, he saw a man standing and he asked about him. They said, "It is Abu Israel, who has vowed that he will stand and never sit down, he will never come into the shade, nor will he speak to anyone, and he will be fasting." The Prophet said, "Tell him to speak, come into the shade, and sit down, but let him complete his fast." {Al-Bukhārī #6326}

VIRTUES OF VOLUNTARY DEEDS

ALLĀH says: "And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, ALLĀH is All-Recogniser, All-Knower." {Al-Baqarah || Verse 158}

"But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him." {Al-Baqarah || Verse 184}


Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, ALLĀH says: "My servant draws not near to ME with anything more loved by ME than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and MY servant keeps on coming closer to ME through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him." {Al-Bukhārī #6502}

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said, 'I heard ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ) say: "The first of his deeds for which a person will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayer. If it is sound then he will have succeeded but if it is not sound then he will be lost and doomed. If anything is lacking from his obligatory prayers, the Lord will say: 'Look and see whether MY slave has any voluntary (prayers),' and the shortfall from his obligatory prayers will be made up from that. Then all his deeds will be dealt with in like manner." {Al-Tirmidhi #413}

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever prays twelve ˹voluntary˺ rak’ahs each day and night, a house will be built for him in Paradise because of them.” {Muslim #728}


Shaykh Abdur-Rahman As-Sa'di (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "This indicates that the more a person does of acts of obedience, the more he increases in goodness, spiritual development, and status before ALLĀH, because of the increase in his faith" {Taysir al-Karīm ar-Rahman}

NO WOMAN IS FAULTLESS, SO BE CONTENT WITH WHAT ALLĀH HAS GIVEN YOU

Women are the strongest in having physical desires. A man might see a woman fully clothed but still think she is prettier than his own wife.

He only thinks about the good parts of a woman, but after he gets married to her, or takes her as a concubine, he continues to ponder upon her faults. He never used to think about those faults in the past, so afterwards becomes bored with this woman, and seeks something different.

Little does he realise that getting a second wife might entail many hardships such as the second wife lacking religion, sound intellect, good management, or love. So he misses out on more things than what he gains.

This is why fornicators commit this crime. They interact with a woman while all of her faults are hidden, and all of her beauties are apparent. They enjoy her for that moment, then move on to another one. So a wise man must realise that he can never get everything that he aims for:

“You would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein.” {al-Baqarah: 267}

In fact, the women of this world were not condemned by anything more than the verse:

“They will have pure women therein (Paradise).” {al-Baqarah: 25}

A proud person stays away from the sight of dirt, and the idea of bad manners.

So he must be content with what resides inside in terms of religious values, and adequate from the outside—this way he will live with inner contentment and a sound heart.

Seeking more will cause his heart to become further occupied, and his religiosity less powerful.

OUR PROPHET WILL BE A WITNESS AGAINST, OR FOR HIS UMMAH ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

ALLĀH says;

فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جِئۡنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئۡنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شَهِيدًا
How (will it be) then, when WE bring from each nation a witness and WE bring you (O Muhammad ﷺ) as a witness against these people?

That is, how will it be, how will the great judgement be, when the judgement in which the One Who will judge has perfect knowledge, perfect justice and perfect wisdom is combined with the testimony of the best of humankind, namely the Messengers who will testify against their nations, along with the confession of those against whom judgement is passed? This, by ALLĀH, is the most comprehensive judgement, the most just and the greatest.

Then those against whom judgement will be passed will confirm the perfect grace and justice of ALLĀH, and will utter words of praise. At that point, some people will be blessed with triumph, success and honour, and others will be doomed to disgrace, shame and the humiliating punishment.

Hence ALLĀH says:

يَوۡمَئِذٍ يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَعَصَوُاْ ٱلرَّسُول
"On that day, those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger" that is, those who combine disbelief in ALLĀH and HIS Messenger with disobedience towards the Messenger

لَوۡ تُسَوَّىٰ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ
"will wish that the earth could be levelled over them" that is, that it would swallow them and they would become dust and become nothing.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will all surely enter Paradise except one who refuses and wanders away from ALLĀH like a stray camel.” It was said, “Who would refuse to enter Paradise?” The Prophet said, “Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me will enter Hellfire.” {Al-Mu’jam al-Awsaṭ #808}

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) also said: "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, none from this nation of Jews and Christians hears of me, and then dies without having faith in my message, but that he will be an inhabitant of Hellfire." {Muslim #153}

THE TRIALS OF PROPHET AYYŪB: A VALUABLE LESSON FOR THE WORSHIPPERS OF ALLĀH

ALLĀH tells:

وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَى رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِ مِن ضُرٍّ
And (remember) Ayyūb, when he cried to his Lord:"Verily, distress has seized me, and YOU are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy." So WE answered his prayer and removed his adversity,

ALLĀH tells us about Ayyūb (Job), and the trials that struck him, affecting his wealth, children and physical health.

He had plenty of livestock, cattle and crops, many children and beautiful houses, and he was tested in these things, losing every thing he had. Then he was tested with regard to his body, and he was left alone on the edge of the city and there was no one who treated him with compassion apart from his wife, who took care of him. It was said that it reached the stage where she was in need, so she started to serve people (to earn money) for his sake. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"The people who are tested the most severely are the Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best and the next best."

According to another Hadith:

"A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment; the stronger his religious commitment, the more severe will be his test."

The Prophet of ALLĀH, Ayyūb, upon him be peace, had the utmost patience, and he is the best example of that.

Yazid bin Maysarah said: "When ALLĀH tested Ayyūb, upon him be peace, with the loss of his family, wealth and children, and he had nothing left, he started to focus upon the remembrance of ALLĀH, and he said:

'I praise YOU, the Lord of lords, Who bestowed HIS kindness upon me and gave me wealth and children, and there was no corner of my heart that was not filled with attachment to these worldly things, then YOU took all of that away from me and YOU emptied my heart, and there is nothing to stand between me and YOU. If my enemy Iblis knew of this, he would be jealous of me.'

When Iblis heard of this, he became upset. And Ayyūb, upon him be peace, said:

'O Lord, YOU gave me wealth and children, and there was no one standing at my door complaining of some wrong I had done to him. YOU know that. I used to have a bed prepared for me, but I forsook it and said to myself: you were not created to lie on a comfortable bed. I only forsook that for YOUR sake.'"

This was recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said:

"When ALLĀH healed Ayub, HE sent upon him a shower of golden locusts, and he started to pick them up and gather them in his garment. It was said to him, 'O Ayub, have you not had enough!'

He said, 'O Lord, who can ever have enough of Your mercy!'"

The basis of this Hadith is recorded in the Two Sahihs...

(ALLĀH said)
وَاتَيْنَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ
and WE restored his family to him (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them.
...
رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا
as a mercy from Ourselves,
...
وَذِكْرَى لِلْعَابِدِينَ
and a Reminder for all those who worship US.

means, 'WE made him an example lest those who are beset by trials think that WE do that to them because WE do not care for them, so that they may take him as an example of patience in accepting the decrees of ALLĀH and bearing the trials with which HE tests HIS servants as HE wills.'

And ALLĀH has the utmost wisdom with regard to that.

Some people have died while singing songs, while others have died while reciting Qur'ān.

Some people have faced death when a cinema hall caught fire while others faced Malakul-Maut in a stampede during Hajj.

Different people. Different Actions. Different Ways of Dying.

How would we like to face death? While dancing in a disco or while in sujūd in a masjid? While singing songs or reciting Qur'ān?

When it's time the Angel of Death does not wait for us to come out of disco to take our souls. They reach wherever we are and do their task.

Leave all the acts of disobedience to ALLĀH today, from now itself. Because if your life will be spent in the obedience of ALLĀH then you will die as obedient slaves in sha ALLĀH.

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "Every servant will be resurrected upon the way that they died." {Muslim #2878}

ALLĀH PLACES LOVE OF THE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE IN THE HEARTS

ALLĀH said;

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ وُدًّا
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.

ALLĀH, the Exalted, informs about HIS believing servants, who work righteous deeds -- deeds that HE is pleased with because they are in accordance with the legislation of Muhammad -- that HE plants love for them in the hearts of HIS righteous servants. This is something that is absolutely necessary and there is no avoiding it.

This has been reported in authentic Hadiths of the Messenger of ALLĀH in various different ways.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Verily, whenever ALLĀH loves a servant of HIS, HE calls Jibril and says, "O Jibril, verily I love so-and-so, so love him." Thus, Jibril will love him.

Then, he (Jibril) will call out to the dwellers of the heavens, "Verily, ALLĀH loves so-and-so, so you too must love him."

Then the dwellers of the heavens love him and he will be given acceptance in the earth.

Whenever ALLĀH hates a servant of HIS, HE calls Jibril and says, "O Jibril, verily I hate so-and-so, so hate him." Thus, Jibril will hate him.

Then, he (Jibril) will call out amongst the dwellers of the heavens, "Verily, ALLĀH hates so-and-so, so you too must hate him."

Then the dwellers of the heavens hate him and hatred for him will be placed in the earth."

Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported narrations similar to this.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whenever ALLĀH loves a servant of HIS, HE calls Jibril (saying), "Verily, I love so-and-so, so love him."

Then, Jibril calls out into the heavens and love for him descends among the people of the earth.

That is the meaning of the statement of ALLĀH, the Mighty and Sublime:

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection."

This was also reported by Muslim and At-Tirmidhi and At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih."

FASTING AL-AYYAM AL-BEED (THE WHITE DAYS) FOR JUMĀDAL-ĀKHIRAH 1446AH

The white days of the month refer to the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month. The moon is at its fullest and most luminous during this period. Fasting on these days (Al-Ayyam Al-Beed) is sunnah, mentioned in various hadith.

Abu Dharr (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said to me: "If you fast any part of the month, then fast the 13th, 14th, and 15th." {Sunan an-Nasai #2424}

It was narrated that 'Abdullāh ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said to me: "It is sufficient for you to fast three days every month because, for every good deed, you will have (the reward of) ten like it, so that will be like fasting for a lifetime." {Al-Bukhārī #1874, Muslim #1159}

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: "My close friend (the Prophet ﷺ) advised me to do three things which I will not give up until I die: fasting three days of each month, praying Duha, and sleeping after Witr." {Al-Bukhārī #1124, Muslim #721}

FASTING DATES:

In Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and South Africa:

- Sunday, 15th December

THE BATTLE OF HUNAYN

The battle of Hunayn occurred after the victory of Makkah, in the month of Shawwal of the eighth year of Hijrah.

After the Prophet conquered Makkah and things settled, most of its people embraced Islam and he set them free. News came to the Messenger of ALLĀH that the tribe of Hawazin were gathering their forces to fight him, under the command of Malik bin Awf An-Nadri, as well as, the entire tribe of Thaqif, the tribes of Banu Jusham, Banu Sa'd bin Bakr, a few people of Awza' from Banu Hilal and some people from Bani Amr bin Amir and Awf bin Amir.

They brought their women, children, sheep and camels along, in addition to their armed forces and adequate supplies. The Messenger of ALLĀH marched to meet them with the army that he qbrought to conquer Makkah, ten thousand from the Muhajirin, the Ansar and various Arab tribes. Along with them came the Tulaqa numbering two thousand men.

The Messenger took them along to meet the enemy. The two armies met in Hunayn, a valley between Makkah and At-Ta'if.

The battle started in the early part of the morning, when the Huwazin forces, who were lying in ambush, descended on the valley when the Muslims entered. Muslims were suddenly struck by the ambush, the arrows descended on them and the swords struck them. The Huwazin commander ordered them to descend and attack the Muslims as one block, and when they did that, the Muslims retreated in haste, just as ALLĀH described them.

The Messenger of ALLĀH remained firm in his position while riding his mule, Ash-Shahba'. He was leading his mule towards the enemy, while his uncle Al-Abbas was holding its right-hand rope and (his cousin) Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith bin Abdul-Muttalib was holding the left rope. They tried to hold the mule back so it would not run faster toward the enemy. Meanwhile, the Messenger of ALLĀH was declaring his name aloud and saying,

"O servants of ALLĀH! Come back to me! I am the Messenger of ALLĀH!"

He repeated these words,

"I am the Prophet, not lying! I am the son of Abdul-Muttalib!"

There remained between a hundred and eighty Companions with the Prophet. These included

Abu Bakr, Umar, Al-Abbas, Ali, Al-Fadl bin Abbas, Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith, Ayman the son of Umm Ayman and Usamah bin Zayd.

There were many other Companions, may ALLĀH be pleased with them.

There were many other Companions, may ALLĀH be pleased with them.

The Prophet commanded his uncle Al-Abbas, whose voice was rather loud, to call at the top of his voice, "O Companions of the Samurah (tree)" referring to the Muhajirin and Ansar who gave their pledge under the tree during the pledge of Ridwan, not to run away and retreat.

He also called, "O Companions of Surah Al-Baqarah."

Upon hearing that, those heralded started saying,

"Here we are! Here we are!"

Muslims started returning in the direction of the Messenger of ALLĀH. If the camel of one of them did not obey him (as the people were rushing to the other direction in flight) he would wear his shield and descend from his camel and rush to the side of the Messenger of ALLĀH on foot.

When a large crowd gathered around the Messenger of ALLĀH, he commanded them to fight in sincerity and took a handful of sand and threw it in the faces of the disbelievers, after supplicating to ALLĀH,

"O ALLĀH! Fulfill YOUR promise to me!"

Then he threw that handful of sand which entered the eyes and mouth of all the disbelievers, thus distracting them from fighting, and they retreated in defeat.

The Muslims pursued the enemy, killing and capturing them. The rest of the Muslim army (returning to battle gradually) rejoined their positions and found many captured disbelieving soldiers kept tied before the Messenger of ALLĀH.

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

"Know that when you deal and interact with your wife then it is mandatory that you think of a [scenario] where a man is the husband of your daughter. How does he treat her? Would you be pleased for him to treat her with harshness and sternness? The answer is no.

Therefore, do not be content with treating the daughter of another person in a fashion that you would not be pleased for your daughter to be treated. This principle should be known by all people."

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)

Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"What a servant dislikes may be better for him than what he likes. What he dislikes inspires him to supplicate to ALLĀH, and what he likes distracts him from it (supplication to ALLĀH)."

Then it will be for him:

• (an equivalent) of freeing ten slaves,

• and ALLĀH will write for him a hundred good deeds,

• and remove from him a hundred bad deeds,

THE MESSENGER'S WAY

ALLĀH tells HIS messenger to say:

قُلْ هَـذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَاْ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي وَسُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَمَا أَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
Say, "This is my way; I invite to ALLĀH with sure knowledge, I and those who follow me. And Glorified and Exalted be ALLĀH. And I am not of the idolators."

ALLĀH orders HIS Messenger to say to mankind and the Jinns that this is his way, meaning, his method, path and Sunnah, concentrating on calling to the testimony that there is no deity worthy of worship except ALLĀH alone without partners.

The Messenger calls to this testimonial with sure knowledge, certainty and firm evidence. HE calls to this way, and those who followed him call to what ALLAH's Messenger called to with sure knowledge, certainty and evidence, whether logical or religious evidence,

وَسُبْحَانَ اللّهِ
And Glorified and Exalted be ALLĀH.

This part of the Ayah means, I glorify, honor, revere and praise ALLĀH from having a partner, equal, rival, parent, son, wife, minister or advisor. All praise and honor be to Allah, glorified HE is from all that they attribute to HIM,

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَـوَتُ السَّبْعُ وَالاٌّرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ وَلَـكِن لاَّ تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا
The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify HIM, and there is not a thing but glorifies HIS praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, HE is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. (17:44)

THE COMMAND TO LISTEN TO THE QUR'AN WITH THE UTMOST ATTENTION

ALLĀH says,

وَإِذَا قُرِىءَ الْقُرْانُ فَاسْتَمِعُواْ لَهُ وَأَنصِتُواْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
When the Qur'ān is recited, listen to it attentively and be silent, so you may be shown mercy.

This command is general and is applicable to everyone who hears the Book of ALLĀH being recited. He is enjoined to listen to it and remain silent. The difference between listening and remaining silent is that remaining silent is an outward action, that requires one to stop talking or doing anything that may distract you from listening to it.

Listening, on the other hand, means lending your ears, focusing your mind and contemplating the meaning of what is heard. The one who does both of these things when the Book of ALLĀH is recited will attain a great deal of good, abundant knowledge, renewed and ongoing faith, increasing guidance and understanding of his religion. Hence ALLĀH has made attainment of mercy dependent on these two things. This indicates that if a person does not listen and remain silent when the Book is recited to him, he will be deprived of his share of mercy and will miss out on a great deal of good.

One of the most emphatically enjoined instructions with regard to listening to Qur’anic recitation is the requirement to listen attentively to it and remain silent during the prayers in which the recitation is done out loud. When the imam is reciting, the worshipper is instructed to remain silent. In fact the majority of scholars say that remaining silent and listening attentively to the imam is more important than reciting al-Fatihah or any other sūrah.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

This (listening and remaining silent) is to the contrary of the practice of the pagans of Quraysh, who said,

لَا تَسْمَعُواْ لِهَـذَا الْقُرْءَانِ وَالْغَوْاْ فِيهِ
"Listen not to this Qur'ān, and make noise in the midst of its (recitation)." (41:26)

Ibn Jarir reported that Ibn Mas'ud said; "We would give Salams to each other during Salah. So the Ayah of Qur'an was revealed;

وَإِذَا قُرِىءَ الْقُرْانُ فَاسْتَمِعُواْ لَهُ
When the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively...

TEN WAYS BY WHICH THE   TONGUE IS MISUSED

4⃣. As-sukhriya wal istihzaa’ (Mocking and laughing at others)

As-sukhriya means to say something which degrades someone and puts them down. It could be verbal or a subtle indication or could even be an imitation. The aim is to ridicule and make others laugh at the person.

People who speak ill of others are usually those whose upbringing has not been up to the mark, and who have not learnt proper social manners. They are not perhaps, aware that all human beings are honored and equal in ALLĀH's sight except through piety, and no one has the right to humiliate or hurt another. They also forget that it is quite possible, that those whom they ridicule may be better people than themselves, because of their good qualities. ALLĀH said:

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا یَسۡخَرۡ قَوۡمࣱ مِّن قَوۡمٍ عَسَىٰۤ أَن یَكُونُوا۟ خَیۡرࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا نِسَاۤءࣱ مِّن نِّسَاۤءٍ عَسَىٰۤ أَن یَكُنَّ خَیۡرࣰا مِّنۡهُنَّۖ وَلَا تَلۡمِزُوۤا۟ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا۟ بِٱلۡأَلۡقَـٰبِۖ
“O Believers! Let not a people ridicule ˹another˺ people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule ˹other˺ women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by ˹offensive˺ nicknames.” {Al-Hujurāt || Verse 11}

Commenting on this verse, Imām al-Qurtubi  (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "In general, no one should dare to ridicule another person even if that person was shabby, handicapped or inarticulate, for that person may be more sincere or may have a purer heart than the one who is not shabby or handicapped or inarticulate. In this case, ridiculing such a person would be despising someone whom ALLĀH has honored." {Tafsi‌r Qurtubi}

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade expressing pleasure at the misfortune of a Muslim brother when he said: "Do not express pleasure at the misfortune of a brother lest ALLĀH should bestow mercy upon him and make you suffer from a misfortune." {Sunan al-Tirmidhī #2506}.

Mocking others is a disease and like all diseases, it is an unnatural twist of human nature.  It needs a cure. That can only happen when the one mocking realizes the seriousness of his actions and questions his motives. Scholars have compared mocking others to putting a knife through their soul and murdering their morale and confidence. Just as doing that to the body would be deemed extremely serious, such assaults on the soul must also not be taken lightly.

Only those whose souls are impure because of arrogance and pride mock others. They endeavor to hurt others because of the feeling of superiority that runs in their diseased veins. Shaytān ridiculed Ādam (peace be upon him) and said, “I am better than him” and so he became a loser. Had he thought carefully of the characteristics of Ādam (peace be upon him) he would have realized that Ādam was superior to him. 

May ALLĀH protect us from being arrogant towards others and ignorant of ourselves. Aamīn.
