The simplest definition of Taqwa:
An old man was asked:" How do you define 'Taqwa'?"
He replied in the language of the common man:" O child, its meaning is: 'How do you behave when you are alone?'"
(or What is your state when you are alone?)
*سُئل رجل كبير السن:*
*ما معنى.التقوى؟*
*فقال باللهجة العامية:*
يا ولدي معناها:
كيف حالك يوم تكون لحالك"!

♻️How to know when the deeds are being accepted?
بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد
🎓Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:
👉Whoever does an act of obedience – out of the many acts of obedience – and completes it:
✅The sign of it being accepted is that he follows it with another act of obedience.
❎And the sign of it being rejected is that he follows it with an act of disobedience.”

The inhabitants of the Hellfire's plea for help

(4/4)
4️⃣ The denizens of the Hellfire beseeching for a second chance:
Allaah تعالى mentioned, saying:
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَالِمُونَ ﴿١٠٧﴾ قَالَ اخْسَئُوا فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ ﴿١٠٨﴾
{“Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Dhaalimoon: (wrongdoers).” He (Allaah) will say: “Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”}
📚 [Surah al-Mu’minoon (23): 107-108]
🌴🌴🌴
🎓Al-Haafidh al-Tabaree رحمه الله said:
Madee Karb reported that Abu al-Dardaa’ said: The inhabitants of the Hell-Firewill be afflicted with acute hunger, according to the severity of their punishment. They will seek help, and in return they will be provided with Dharee (ضريع, a poisonous thorny plant) which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. When they do not benefit from this, they will call out (again) seeking help, so they will be provided with food that chokes (طَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ), when they would eat, it will get caught in their throats. So, they will remember that in the worldly life they used to drink water when it would get difficult to swallow. They will beseech for water to drink, so Hameem (boiling water) will be given to them in metal hooks. When they will bring it close to their faces, it will scald their faces, and when they would drink it, it will cut up their bowels. They will then call Maalik, the keeper of Hell-Fire, asking him to beseech Allaah to put an end to them (i.e. death). He will abandon them for a thousand years, and then he will respond, saying: “you will abide (therein) forever!” Then they will ask the (other) keepers of the Hell-Fire to beseech Allaah to lighten their punishment for at least one day. They will respond, saying: “Did not your Messengers come to you with clear signs?” They will affirm, saying” Yes!” It will be said to them: “So, beseech (all you want), but the supplication of the disbelievers will be in vain.” They will then say: “We do not find anyone better for us than our Lord, so they will call upon their Lord, saying: {“Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Dhaalimoon: (wrongdoers).”} Then Allaah will respond to them, saying: {“Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”}. So with that, they lose hope of any good, and with that they are taken to moaning, despair and severe ruin.
`Amr Ibn Murrah said: Once every seventy years will the denizens of the Hell-Fire be able see the shin of Maalik, the keeper of Hell-Fire (i.e., Maalik will only pass by them once in every seventy years). They will say: {“Let your Lord put an end of us.”}, he will respond to them and they will not see him for another seventy years. They will beseech the (other) keepers of Hell-Fire, saying: {“Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!”} They will respond, saying: {“Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences and signs?} Then they will say (among themselves): “Beseech you Lord, for there is no one more Merciful than your Lord.” They will say: {“Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Dhaalimoon: (wrongdoers).”} He (Allaah) will say: {“Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”}. So, with this they will lose hope of ever receiving any goodness, and with that they are taken to moaning, despair and severe ruin.
Qataadah said: When it will be said to them: {“Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”}, they will lose hope and will never speak a word after that, except for violent inhaling and exhaling. Qataadah further said: The voice of the denizens of Hell will be like the sound of a donkey, the first part of it is exhaling and the last part of it is inhaling.

2️⃣ The inhabitants of the Hell-Fire seeking for relief, even if it were only for a day:
Allaah تعالى said:
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ ﴿٤٩﴾ قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ تَكُ تَأْتِيكُمْ رُسُلُكُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۚ قَالُوا فَادْعُوا ۗ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ ﴿٥٠﴾
{And those in the Fire will say to the keepers (angels) of Hell: “Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!” They will say: “Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences and signs? They will say: “Yes.” They will reply: “Then call (as you like)! And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in error!”}
📚[Surah Ghaafir (40): 49-50]
🌴🌴🌴
🎓Al-Haafidh al-Tabaree رحمه الله said:
Allaah تعالى mentioned that the inhabitants of the Hell-Fire will say to its keepers and those who are in charge of it, asking them for help because of the severe punishment that they are in, hoping to find some relief through them, saying: {“Call upon your Lord} on our behalf, {to lighten for us the torment for a day!”}, even if it were for a single day, similar to the day of this worldly life, {from torment} that we are in.
We said: “similar to the day of this worldly life” because the Hereafter is the Day in which there will be no night.
The keepers of the Hell-Fire will respond, saying: {“Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences and signs}, who established the Tawheed of Allaah (that only Allaah alone deserves to be worshiped and none else), and called to worship Him alone and to believe in Him, and to disassociate yourselves from everything that is worshiped other than Allaah?
{They will say: “Yes.”}, meaning: Yes, the Messengers of Allaah did come to us with the Message.
The keepers will reply to them: {“Then call (as you like)!}, meaning: so, invoke your Lord – the One Who had sent these Messengers - for relief!
{And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in error!”}, meaning: they will supplicate, but it will be in vain, because their supplication will not benefit them, nor will they not be answered. Rather, it would be said to them: [“Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”}

👉 How can a man seek a way out of the difficulties of this worldly life?
Allaah تعالى says:
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا * وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
{And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide for him from (sources) he never could imagine.}
📚[Surah al-Talaaq (65): 2-3]
And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Remember Allaah (and thank Him) in your days of prosperity, and He will remember (and help) you in your difficulties.❞
📚[Saheeh al-Jaami (2961) and graded as "Saheeh" by Shaikhal-Albaanee]
And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to Ibn `Abbaas: ❝O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allaah and Allaah will protect you. Be mindful of Allaah and you will find Him in front of you...❞
📚[Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2516) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
🌴🌴🌴
👉 As for the Hereafter, there is no safety except to whom Allaah provides safety. There is no shade except to whom Allaah provides shade.
To attain this in the Hereafter, a person should be firm in his religion, should be obedient to Allaah, and worship Him alone. And he should beseech and supplicate to Him earnestly for His protection on the Day when there will be no protection except with Him.
💠 Importance of fighting the desires to have a clean, pure, sound heart
🎓 Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
Regarding the saying of the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ: ❝The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture (image, portrait etc.).❞
📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim]
I heard Shaikh al-Islaam, Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله, say: “If the Angels – who are a creation (of Allaah) – are prevented by a dog and a picture from entering the house! Then how can - the knowledge (awareness) about Allaah عز وجل, and the love for Him, and the sweetness (one tastes) through His remembrance (Dhikr), and the joy (one feels) when seeking nearness to Him - enter a heart which is filled (infested) by the dogs of desires and their likes?”
📚[Madaarij al-Saalikeen (2/391)]
"Life" is a beautiful story...
...upon you is to read it till the end!
Do not ever stop at a sad sentence...
...perhaps the ending will be beautiful!
🌟 When a woman is reformed, the whole house is reformed
Allaah تعالى says:
يَا نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ ۚ إِنِ اتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا ﴿٣٢﴾ وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ﴿٣٣﴾ وَاذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلَىٰ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ لَطِيفًا خَبِيرًا ﴿٣٤﴾
{O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allaah and fear Him), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery, etc.) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honorable manner.
And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As-Salaah, and give Zakaah and obey Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah wishes only to remove al-Rijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet ﷺ), and to purify you with a thorough purification.
And remember (O you the members of the Prophet's family, the Graces of your Lord), that which is recited in your houses of the Verses of Allaah and Al-Hikmah (i.e. Prophet's Sunnah legal ways, etc. so give your thanks to Allaah and glorify His Praises for this Qur’aan and the Sunnah). Verily, Allaah is Ever Most Courteous, Well Acquainted with all things.}
📚 [Surah al-Ahzaab (33): 32-34]
══════❁✿❁══════
The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝The woman is Awrah (she should be concealed and be covered up properly), for when she goes out the Shaitaan looks at her (and seeks to tempt her).❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (1173) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. See al-Saheehah (2688)]
══════❁✿❁══════
👉 Meaning: The basic idea is to lift up the eyes to look at something. Here it is explained as meaning either that the devil makes her attractive to men, or that the Shaitaan looks at her to seduce her and to seduce people by her. The woman should veil from strangers. When she goes out uncovered, it will create problems for herself and for others.
A woman, even if she is veiled, in the mind of a man, she will still be a female; so how much more seducing she will be when she is uncovered?!
Therefore, we should remember one thing! Allaah تعالى has given her the ability to reform. And when she reforms, she can reform those around her by Allaah’s permission.
If she is reformed, then the whole house will be reformed, even if the one in charge of the house is evil like Fir`aun (Pharoah)!
And if she is corrupt, then the whole house will be corrupted, even if the one in charge of the house is a righteous person! The righteousness of her husband may not benefit her even if he were a Prophet!
Allaah تعالى says:
ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا امْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَامْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ ۖ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَقِيلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدَّاخِلِينَ
{Allaah presents an example for those who disbelieve, the wife of Nooh and the wife of Loot. They were under two of our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed their (husbands by rejecting their doctrine) so they [Nooh and Loot] did not benefit them against Allaah, and it was said: "Enter the Fire along with those who enter!"}
📚 [Surah al-Tahreem (66): 10]
💠 Do not get carried away by your ❝righteousness❞:
Allaah says:
لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰ أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
❝{Indeed the Word (of punishment) has proved true against most of them, so they will not believe}❞
📚 [Surah Yaaseen (36): 7]
🌴🌴🌴
🎓A few benefits mentioned by Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen regarding this Aayah:Uthaymeen]
🌟1) One of the benefits we learn from this Aayah is: to reaffirm the important news even if the one being addressed does not deny it; because here Allaah تعالى is informing the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Believers, even though they are the ones who do not deny it. This is only because of the importance of reaffirming (the news).
💢
🌟2) Another benefit we learn from this Aayah is: The one against whom the word of punishment has gone out will never believe. As Allaah تعالى says:
أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِي النَّارِ
❝{Is then one against whom the Word of punishment justified (equal to the one who avoids evil)? Will you (O Muhammad) rescue him who is in the Fire?}❞
📚[Surah al-Zumar (39): 19]
It affirms that (the person against whom the Word has gone out) will be in the fire and there will be no one to rescue him. [Like the example of Abu Lahab]
💢
🌟3) From the benefits of this Aayah is: From Quraish, the people who rejected the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم (at first), amongst them there were those against whom the Word did not go in effect, so they believed because of the saying of Allaah تعالى:
عَلَىٰ أَكْثَرِهِمْ
❝{…against MOST of them}❞
📑 [Note: For He تعالى did not say: “against ALL of them”]
💢
🌟4) And from the benefits of this Aayah is: There is an indication in this Aayah that one should or rather it is obligatory upon one that he should seek Allaah’s protection and turn towards Him; because it is Allaah in Whose Hands is the Kingdoms of the heavens and the earth. Do not rely on (or be overconfident of) what is in your heart of the Imaan, even if it has reached the highest level, and feel secured that Shaitaan will never be able to overpower you or that your desires will not make you slip – the self which is a persistent enjoiner of evil. Rather, be always the one who constantly seeks Allaah’s protection and turns towards Him, beseeching Him for Firmness (upon the Deen), because of the saying of Allaah تعالى:
لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَىٰ أَكْثَرِهِمْ
❝{Indeed the Word (of punishment) has proved true against most of them}❞
For all the Commands, Decisions and Matters are verily in the Hands of Allaah alone.
📑 [Note: Allaah تعالى guides whom He Wills and leaves astray whom He Wills. And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝Verily the hearts are between two Fingers from the Fingers of Allaah and He turns them (in whichever direction) as He likes.❞ [Saheeh Muslim and Sunan Ibn Maajah]]

#Khushoo (awe, fear of Allaah, humility, devotion)” it means to pray with complete submission, devotion, humility, tranquility (a state of peace and calmness, free from worldly distractions), in the state of being god-fearing.
🔑 When we say: “TO PRAY WITH KHUSHOO
❓️A person sometimes asks: "Why don't I find Khushoo in the Salaah? The Imaam leads the prayer, and I do not follow what he is reciting; and he concludes the prayer, and I do not comprehend what he had recited; I do the actions, but I do not know what I just did. WHY?" in the heart.
Our Lord is Most Generous, and He تعالى appreciates good deeds? Then why does this happen to most of us?
⚡️It could be because of a sin which we do openly, or because of a bad habit that we do in the private, or because we do not repent to Allaah and seek His forgiveness sincerely. Know that sinning is what diminishes the Khushoo
The Prophet ﷺ used to seek Allaah’s forgiveness 70 times a day even though Allaah تعالى had forgiven his past and future sins.
Other things that prevent us from tasting the sweetness of Ibaadah are: overeating, talking a lot, hanging out with bad friends.Ibaadah. And when a person finds sweetness in
If Allaah تعالى knows that you have a sincere intention, then Allaah تعالى will guide you if you strive and supplicate to Him earnestly. For then you will find the sweetness in your Ibaadah, then it becomes easy for him to a lot of Ibaadah, and Adhkaar, and recitation of the Qur’aan.
🌴🌴🌴
🌟 Narrations on Khushoo
1️⃣ The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said:
أول شيء يرفع من هذه الأمة الخشوع حتى لا ترى فيها خاشعا
❝The very first thing to be raised from this Ummah is Khushoo.❞ (2569) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
📚[Saheeh al-Jaami
2️⃣ He ﷺ also said:
أوَّلُ ما يُرْفَعُ مِنَ الناسِ الخشوعُ
❝The first thing to be raised from the people is Khushoo.❞ (2576) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
📚[Saheeh al-Jaami
3️⃣ Abu Dardaa’ رضي الله عنه said to one of the companions:
إِنْ شئتَ لأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ بأوِّلِ علْمٍ يُرْفَعُ منَ الناسِ الخشوعُ يوشِكُ أنْ تدخُلَ مسجِدَ جماعَةٍ فلا تَرَى فيه رجلًا خاشِعًا
❝If you wish I will tell you what the first type of knowledge taken from the people will be - it is al-Khushoo (the fear of Allaah- humility, submissiveness) such that if you enter a Jaami'ah Masjid, you will not see a single man who has Khushoo.❞
📚[Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2653) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله reported some of the narrations on al-Khushoo: al-Nifaaq (hypocritical humility). It was said to him: And what is hypocritical humility? He said: When you notice the body to be humble and whereas the heart is not.
4️⃣ Some of the Companions رضي الله عنهم, namely, Hudhaifah used to say: Beware of Khushoo
5️⃣ Umar Ibn al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه saw a man bowing his neck in the prayer, so he said to him: O companion of the (bend) neck! Raise your neck. Khushoo is not in (bending) the neck, rather al-Khushoo is in the heart.Aaishah رضي الله عنها saw some youths passing by and they were swaying in their walk. She asked her companions: Who are they? They replied: These are al-Nussaak (ascetics). She رضي الله عنها said:
6️⃣ Umar Ibn al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه, when he walked, he was quick; when he spoke, he was heard; if he hit (someone), it would hurt; if he ate, he would eat till satisfaction; and indeed he was a true devout person.Uthaymeen رحمه الله said: ❝One of the reasons why there is no Khushoo
📚[Madaarij al-Saalikeen (1/517)]
🌴🌴🌴
🎓Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al- in Salaah is because when the person is praying he does not perceive that he is now standing before Allaah عز وجل while declaring His Greatness, praising Him, Glorifying Him, beseeching Him. This is why there is no Khushoo.❞
📚 [al-Liqaa al-Ramadhaaniyyah]
❝PERHAPS I WILL NOT SEE YOU AGAIN AFTER THIS YEAR!!!❞
Perhaps some of the most difficult words the Companions رضي الله عنهم had ever heard from the Prophet ﷺ:
1️⃣
لِتَأْخُذُوا مَنَاسِكَكُمْ، فَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلِّي لَا أَحُجُّ بَعْدَ حَجَّتِي هَذِهِ
❝Learn your rituals (from me), for I do not know whether I would be performing Hajj after this Hajj of mine.❞

💠 Meaning of the word: “al-Nazgh”:
Allaah تعالى said in the Glorious Qur’aan:
وَإِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ (200)
{And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitaan then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.}
📚[Surah al-Araaf (7): 200, and Surah al-Fussilat (41): 36] al-Bayaan) (7):200]
🌴🌴🌴
⚡️At any time, and in any situation, {if a prompting from Shaitaan stirs you up} that is, you feel angry or you feel Shaitaan’s whispering and discouragement from doing good, or encouragement and prompting to do evil, then seek Allaah’s protection, for He hears all things, and He is aware of all that is taking place.
📚[Tafseer al-Muyassar (7):200]
🌴🌴🌴
🎓Al-Tabaree mentioned in his Tafseer:
The root meaning of the word al-Nazgh (النزغ) is al-Fasaad (corruption). It is when Shaitaan stirs animosity and the feeling of hostility amongst the people, so that one group transgresses the rights of the other.
📚[Tafseer al-Tabaree (Jaami
🌴🌴🌴
📑Note:
Many people do not know the true meaning of the word al-Nazgh which Allaah تعالى mentioned in the Qur’aan. Here is a practical example to teach you the correct meaning, because when you ponder over the meaning, you will take better precautions. It is like putting a small scorpion and a locust in a bottle and shaking it violently. The locust and the scorpion will bump into each other. The scorpion will feel that the locust is attacking it, and the locust will feel that the scorpion wants to sting it with its stinger, but in reality, it is the one who is shaking the bottle that is stirring the problem between the two, while these creatures are unaware.
This is the same example for us, as husband and wife, inside the house, in the same room, there is someone who tries to stir problems between the two while they are unaware, and that is the Shaitaan.
The meaning of al-Nazgh is Waswasah (whisper, evil prompting). And for Allaah is the highest attribute, when He تعالى says:
{And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitaan then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.}
Some people come into your life as a blessing…
While others come into your life as a lesson.
So, safeguard the blessing, and learn from the lesson.
﴿ وَلَوۡلَا دَفۡعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعۡضَهُم بِبَعۡضٍ۬ لَّفَسَدَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ ﴾
{And if Allaah did not check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief.}
[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 251]
Don't be sad about a thing which you have lost...
...perhaps its possession would have been a cause of greater sadness!
Always be assured that the (best) choice...
...is in what Allaah تعالى has chosen for you!

3️⃣ The inhabitants of the Hell-Fire will beseech their relatives from the people of Jannah for help.
Allaah تعالى mentioned, saying:
وَنَادَىٰ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٥٠﴾
{And the dwellers of the Fire will call to the dwellers of Paradise: “Pour on us some water or anything that Allaah has provided you with.” They will say: “Indeed, Allaah has forbidden both (water and provision) to the disbelievers.”}
📚[Surah al-Araaf (7): 50]Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said: “A person (from the inhabitants of Hell-Fire) will call upon his brother or father (who are in Paradise), he will say to them: “I got badly burned, so pour on me some water!” They will be made to respond, saying: “Allaah has forbidden both (water and food of Paradise) to the disbelievers.”

🎓Al-Haafidh al-Tabaree رحمه الله said:
Allaah تعالى mentioned that the denizens of the Hell-Fire - after they have entered the Hell - will call the dwellers of Paradise - after they have occupied their place in the Jannah - for help. O people of Paradise! Pour for us some water and give us anything to eat, from that which Allaah تعالى has provided you with. This was said by al-Suddee.
Ibn Zaid said: (They will ask for) food to eat and water to quench our thirst.
The dwellers of Paradise will respond, saying: {“Indeed, Allaah has forbidden both (water and provision) to the disbelievers.”} meaning: Allaah تعالى has forbidden the food and water (from Jannah) for those who opposed Allaah’s Tawheed (worship), and belied Him and His Messengers in the world.
Ibn
Sa`eed Ibn Jubair said: “A person (from the inhabitants of Hell-Fire) will call upon his brother (who is in Paradise), he will say: “O my Brother! I got burned, so help me!” He will respond, saying: “Allaah has forbidden both (water and food of Paradise) to the disbelievers.”

💠 The plea for help:
The inhabitants of the Hell-Fire will make many requests, and all of them will be denied for them:
1⃣ They will ask for death (a permanent relief from the punishment), but it will be denied for them. [Surah al-Zukhruf (43): 77]
2⃣ They will ask for a day’s relief, that Allaah lightens the punishment for at least one day, but it also be denied. [Surah Ghaafir (40): 49-50]
3⃣ They will request the inhabitants of Jannah to provide them with some food and water from the Jannah, but this will also be denied for them. [Surah al-Araaf (7): 50]Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said: (when the denizens of the Hell-Fire will say): {“O Maalik (Keeper of Hell)! Let your Lord make an end of us.”} He will respond to them after a thousand years, saying: {“Verily you shall abide (therein) forever.”}
4⃣ They will ask to be given a second chance to do righteous deeds, but this will also be denied for them. [Surah al-Mu’minoon (23): 107-108]

1⃣ Their request for death:
Allaah تعالى mentioned in the Qur'aan, saying:
وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ ۖ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّاكِثُونَ ﴿٧٧﴾
{And they will cry: “O Maalik (Keeper of Hell)! Let your Lord make an end of us.” He will say: “Verily you shall abide (therein) forever.”}
📚[Surah al-Zukhruf (43): 77]
🔊Al-Haafidh al-Tabaree رحمه الله said:
Allaah تعالى mentioned: The wrongdoers - after Allaah تعالى has made them enter the Hell-Fire, and they receive whatever punishment that was assigned for them therein - they will cry out to Maalik, the keeper of the Hell-Fire, saying: {“O Maalik! Let your Lord make an end of us.”}, meaning: “ask your Lord to give us death, so that through our death we get relieved from the punishment.” It has been said that Maalik will not respond to them at the same time when they made the request. Rather, he will respond to them after a thousand years (from the time of their request), saying to them: {“Verily you shall abide (therein) forever.”}
👉 Ibn al-
👉 Al-Suddee said: Maalik will respond to them after a thousand years of your counting (i.e., the likes a thousand years on this earth).
👉 Al-Hasan reported that Nouf said: Maalik will abandon them for a hundred years of your counting, then he will respond to them saying: {“You shall abide (therein) forever.”}
👉 Qataadah reported that Abdullaah Ibn Amr رضي الله عنهما said: Maalik will not respond to them for forty years, and thereafter he will says: {“You shall abide (therein) forever.”}
👉 Abu Ayyoob al-Azadee reported that Abdullaah Ibn Amr رضي الله عنهما said: The inhabitants of the Hell-Fire will call on Maalik for forty years but he will not respond to them, and thereafter he will says: {“You shall abide (therein) forever.”} Then they will call upon their Lord, saying: {“Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Dhaalimoon: (wrongdoers).”} They will be abandoned for a duration similar (to the existence of this) worldly (life). Then {He (Allaah) will say: “Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”}. After this, the inhabitants of the Hell-Fire will not utter a word except that they will sigh in high and low tones therein.

💠 Man was created into hardship, yet we look for comfort in this world
Allaah جل وعلى said:
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
{Verily, We have created man in Kabad.}
📚 [Surah al-Balad (90): 4]
🎓Al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer reported in his Tafseer:
🔊 Ibn Abbaas said concerning the phrase {in Kabad}: ❝He was created while into hardship. Don't you see him?❞ Then he mentioned his birth and the sprouting of his teeth.id bin Jubayr said: {Verily, We have created man in Kabad.}, meaning: ❝Into hardship and seeking livelihood.❞
🔊 Mujahid said: {in Kabad.}, meaning: ❝A drop of sperm, then a clot, then a lump of flesh, enduring in his creation.❞
🔊 Mujahid then said: ❝This is similar to Allaah's statement {His mother bears him with hardship. And she brings him forth with hardship.} (46:15) and she breast-feeds him with hardship, and his livelihood is a hardship. So he endures all of this.❞
🔊 Sa
🔊 Ikrimah said: ❝Into hardship and long suffering.❞
🔊 Qatadah said: ❝Into difficulty.❞
🔊 Al-Hasan al-Basree said: ❝Enduring the hardships of the worldly life and the severity of the Hereafter.❞
📚 [Tafseer IbnKatheer]
🌴🌴🌴
⚡️ A person's life is all about difficulties, from the time his mother conceives him, to his birth, his childhood, his toiling through the ups and downs of life, the anxieties, the distress, the sorrows, his old age, his death. But it doesn’t end with death, rather, the questioning in the grave, his state in the grave, the Resurrection on the Day of Judgment, the Judgment, the Scale, the passing over the Hell on the narrow Bridge etc. These are the hardships of live and the severities of the Hereafter that a person will have to go through.
There is no rest for man except in Jannah, as Imaam Ahmad had said.
The difficulties of this worldly life is nothing as compared to the horrors on the Day of Judgment. As Allaah تعالى said:
يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا
{a Day that will make the children grey- haired}
📚 [Surah al-Muzammil (73): 17]
This will happen due to the severity of the horrors on that Day, the confusion, and the uncertainty about the outcome.
This is when Allaah will say to Aadam: ❝{Send a group (from your progeny) to the Fire.} Aadam will say: "How many?" Allaah will then reply: {From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine to the Fire, and one to Paradise.}. At that point the young will turn grey-haired, every pregnant female will drop her load, and the people will appear to be intoxicated although they are not.❞
📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim]
The mentioning of "Kabad" in this Aayah is to alert the people to seek ways out of the difficulties, and means of protection from the trials and horrors, whether it be the hardships of this world or the Hereafter.

🌟 From the signs of the hours: Giving preference to the man with a nice voice to lead the prayers
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said:
❝Hasten to (good) deeds (before the appearance) of six traits:
➡1. The leadership of the foolish,
➡2. Abundance of (corrupt) police (squads),
➡3. Severing ties of kinship,
➡4. Selling of justice (and loss of trustworthiness through bribing),
➡5. Making light of bloodshed,
➡6. Emergence of a (new) generation who will recite the Qur’aan like singing. They (the people) will sent forth a man (to lead them in prayers) even though he would not be the one who has the most understanding or more knowledgeable than them. They will not send him forth except that he sings it (the Qur’aan) for them.❞
📚[al-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer (59, 60) and the wording is his, Musnad Ahmad (16040, 23970) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. In Musnad Ahmad, the wording is: ❝Emergence of a (new) generation who will recite the Qur’aan like singing. They will send him forth so that he sings it (the Qur’aan) for them, even though he would be the least knowledgeable among them.❞]
📑 There is a difference between beautifying your voice while reciting the Qur’aan, which is recommended, and reciting the Qur’aan like singing, which is disparaged.
📑 In Faidh al-Qadeer it is mentioned that “singing the Qur’aan” means: “reciting it like a song, in which the words are stretched or shrunk, or recited out of place (while ignoring the rules of Tajweed).”
📑 Al-Allaamah Abu Abdullaah Ibn al-Haaj al-Maalikee رحمه الله (d. 737H) said:
“Chapter: The characteristics of the Imaam who should be made to lead the night prayers in Ramadhaan:
He should be from the people of knowledge, known for his good manners and religiosity, in opposition to what some of them do today. A majority of them send forth a man to lead them in prayer because of his nice voice and not because of his religiosity. And Imaam Maalik had said: The people, who give precedence to the man with a nice voice to lead them in prayer, in fact send him forth so that he could sing it (the Qur’aan) to them.”
📚 [al-Madkhal of Ibn al-Haaj (2/292)]
Never give up hope of Allaah's Mercy even if Allaah prevents from you the things that you love.
Nor be discontent with what has been Decreed for you.
Nor feel sad if something is taken away from you.
Remember, that He تعالى had said:
(وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ)
{But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you}
📚 [Surah al-Baqarah]
And He تعالى also said:
(حَتَّىٰ إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا جَاءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّيَ مَن نَّشَاءُ ۖ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ)
{[They continued] until, when the messengers despaired and were certain that they had been denied, there came to them Our victory, and whoever We willed was saved. And Our punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals.}
📚 [Surah Yusuf]
💡Doing Istikhaarah and consulting the people
🎓 Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said: "Shaikh al-Islaam, Ibn Taymiyyah, used to say: he - who seeks guidance of the Creator (Istikhaarah) and consults the creation, and stays firm on his decision - would never regret."
And Allaah سبحانه وتعالى said:
﴿وَشاوِرهُم فِي الأَمرِ فَإِذا عَزَمتَ فَتَوَكَّل عَلَى اللَّهِ﴾.
{...and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allaah}
📚 [Surah aal `Imraan (3):159]
And Qataadah said: "No group of people consults each other, seeking the Countenance of Allaah, except that they are guided towards the best of affairs."

🌟 The Salaah should be prayed in equal proportion!
🔊 Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen رحمه : (bowing), and his Sujood (prostrations) were long (as well), and this is good!
A little while ago I noticed a person who was praying next to me. He prolonged the Rukoo
⚡️But the sitting between the two Sujood were very light (and quick).
Is this from the Sunnah or against the Sunnah❓️
This is going against the Sunnah❗️
♻️ (All the actions in) the Salaah should be of equal length, as was reported in the narration of al-Baraa Ibn Aazib.
🎓 Al-Baraa' Ibn Aazib رضي الله عنه reported: ❝I noticed the prayer of (Prophet) Muhammad ﷺ and saw his Qiyaam (standing), his Rukoo (bowing), and then going back to the standing posture after bowing, his Sujood (prostration), his sitting between the two prostrations, and his (second) prostration, and sitting (when saying the Shahaadah), and his going away (after finishing the prayer), all these were nearly equal to one another (in length).❞
📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim, and the wording is his]
👉 It is necessary that the Salaah should be of equal proportion.
⚠️ It is necessary to warn about this❗️ It seems to me that the people who are not from the Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia), it is from their habit (to not pray in equal proportion). They do not elongate the two pillars:
1️⃣ the Qiyaam (standing) after the Rukoo (bowing), (bowing) should be (equal in length)to the Rukoo`.
2️⃣and the Jalsah (sitting) between the two Sujood (prostrations).
And this is wrong❗️
✅️ The sitting between the two prostrations should be (equal in length to) the prostrations. And the standing after the Rukoo
🌟THIS IS THE SUNNAH!🌟
Yahya Ibn Mu`aadh رحمه الله said:
