๐ŸŒ™Help your brothers and sisters this Ramadan:

โœ๏ธ Imam Ibn al-Qayyim [ุฑุญู…ู‡ ุงู„ู„ู‡] said:

๐Ÿ’ฅโShaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah ุฑุญู…ู‡ ุงู„ู„ู‡ would search a lot to find people to help them with their needs.

๐Ÿ”ฐThis was because he knew that everytime he helped someone then Allaah would aid him.โž

[Rawdat al-Muhibbeen]
๐Ÿ’ฅAllah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says in the Qurโ€™an:

๐ŸŒ™ โ€œThe Night of Decree is better than a thousand months,โ€ [Qurโ€™an | 97:3].

๐Ÿ’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) reported to have said,

๐Ÿ”ฐโ€œWhoever prays on Laylatul Qadr out of faith and sincerity, shall have all their past sins forgiven,โ€

[Hadith, Bukhari and Muslim]
โœ๏ธAl-Imฤm ibn Rajab al-Hambali [may Allฤh have mercy on him] said:

๐Ÿ’ฅโ€œOโ€™ you who have wasted the years of his life, make up what you have missed, there is nothing which will amend those lost and wasted years except for the Night of Glory (Laylatul Qadr) for certainly its (value is) equivalent to that of a lifetime.โ€

๐Ÿ’ฅAbu Nuโ€™aym al-Asbahฤnฤซ (Rahimahu'Allah):

๐Ÿ’ Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (Rahimahu'Allah) shared a narration from 'Aisha, the mother of the believers, (Rady'Allahu anha) . She narrated that Allah's messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said,

๐Ÿ”ฐ"Do you know who will find refuge under Allah's Throne on the Day of Judgment?" People responded, "Only Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and His Messenger(sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) know."

๐Ÿ’ขHe (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) explained that those who will find refuge are the ones who gracefully accept fairness and justice when it is offered to them, generously give when they are asked, and judge others based on the same standards they seek for themselves.

๐Ÿ”ฐThey appear cheerful outwardly but carry inner anxiety. Their happiness stems from being content, satisfied, and constantly longing for their beloved (Allah subhanahu wa taala).

โ™จ๏ธThe fear of losing their devotion or even the mere thought of being separated from Allah subhanahu wa taala troubles and confuses them."

[ Hilyat al-Awliya' wa Tabaqat al-Asfiya' ]
๐Ÿ”ฅโ›”๏ธTaghoutโ›”๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

โ€ผ๏ธThe practicing of Tawheed has two key pillars (arkaan), without which one cannot claim to be a true Muwahhid (monotheist).

๐Ÿ’ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says: โ€œThere is no compulsion in the Deen. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whosoever rejects Taghout and believes in Allah then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knowerโ€ [C.2:V.256]

1๏ธโƒฃ From this verse in Surah Baqarah the first pillar of Tawheed is understood (Al Rukn min Awol min Arkaan at-Tawheed) as โ€œwhosoever rejects Taghoutโ€ (in all its forms) i.e. โ€œAl Kufr Bi Taghoutโ€.

๐Ÿ’ Ibn Masood (Rady'Allahu Anhu) defined Al-Taghout as:

๐Ÿ’Žโ€œAny thing worshipped (Maโ€™boud) instead of Allah, any thing obeyed (Mutaaโ€™) instead of Allah and anything followed (Matbouโ€™) instead of Allahโ€
[Hadith Mowqouf].

โš ๏ธSome examples of present day Taghout include:

๐Ÿ”ฅ Ahl ul-Hawaa (the people of rational desires) whose criteria of judgment is not the Shariah but their own limited weak minds;

โš–๏ธ the rulers (hukaam) in the Muslim world who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed as legislation;

๐Ÿ›the parliaments in the world who legislate law (majaalis ash-shaab); the United Nations (ummah mutahhida), the kufr and nationalistic parties existent in the Muslim and non-Muslim worldsโ€™s e.g. Labour party or Conservative Party;

๐Ÿ•Human Rights (al-insaneeyah); the nation-state concept and nationalism (al-qawmโ€™u wal qawmiyyah);

๐ŸŽญthe majority of the people (sawaad al-aโ€™tham) amongst others.

2๏ธโƒฃ The second pillar of Tawheed understood from the ayah (verse) is: โ€œto believe in Allahโ€ i.e. โ€œAl Eemaanu Bil-Allahโ€.

โ€ผ๏ธIt is those people who reject the Taghout first, and then believe in Allah - who have the correct belief, as the ayah says:

๐Ÿ’ฅโ€œthen he has grasped the most trustworthy handholdโ€ i.e. โ€œAl Urwaa tul Wuthqaaโ€ [C. 2:V. 256]

๐Ÿ’  The โ€œtrustworthy handholdโ€ according to Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu Anhu) in Sunnan ad-Darimi is

โ˜โ€œLaa Ilaaha Illa Allahโ€ (none has the right to be worshipped, followed or obeyed except Allah). So we can see that the first pillar is one of negation and rejection, and the second pillar is one of affirmation.

โ€ผ๏ธIn Ilm ut-Tawheed (science of Tawheed) the usuli scholars summarise this principle as:

โ™จ๏ธโ€œAt Takhliyyah qabla Tahliyyahโ€ or โ€œGive up (Taghout) before taking up (Islam and Eemaan)โ€.

โ€ผ๏ธThe implications of these two pillars are that, today we find many people professing their Islam and claiming to be real Muslims, that they believe in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala , yet they fail to reject Taghout (in all its forms).

โ˜ The rejection of Taghout is a binding condition before believing in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

๐Ÿ’ VIRTUE OF FASTING SIX DAYS OF SHAWWAAL๐Ÿ’ 

โ–โ Fasting six days of Shawwaal after the obligatory fast of Ramadaan is Sunnah Mustahabbah, not waajib. It is recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawwaal, and in this there is great virtue and an immense reward.

โ Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a sahih Hadith from the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).

โ Abu Ayyoob (Rady'Allahu Anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said:

โ– โ€œWhoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.โ€ [Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaaโ€™i and Ibn Maajah]

โ The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) explained this when he said:

โ– โ€œWhoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year: (whoever does a good deed (hasanah) will have ten hasanah like it).โ€

โAccording to another report:

โ– โ€œAllah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days completes the year.โ€ [al-Nisaaโ€™i and Ibn Maajah. See also sahih al-Targheeb waโ€™l-Tarheeb, 1/421]

โ It was also narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah with the wording:

โ– โ€œFasting for the month of Ramadaan brings the reward of ten like it, and fasting for six days brings the reward of two months, and that is the fasting of the whole year.โ€

โ The Hanbali and Shaafaโ€™i fuqahaโ€™ explained that fasting six days of Shawwaal after fasting Ramadaan makes it as if one has fasted for an entire year of obligatory fasts, because the multiplication of the reward applies even to naafil fasts, because each hasanah brings the reward of ten like it.

โ Another of the important benefits of fasting six days of Shawwaal is that is makes up for any shortfall in a person's obligatory Ramadaan fasts, because no one is free of shortcomings or sins that have a negative effect on his fasting.

โ On the Day of Resurrection, some of his naafil deeds will be taken to make up the shortcomings in his obligatory deeds, as the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said:

โ– โ€œThe first thing for which people will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be their salaah (prayer). Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, will say to His angels โ€“ although He knows best โ€“ โ€˜Look at the salaah of My slave, whether it is complete or incomplete.โ€™ If it is perfect, it will be recorded as perfect, and if something is lacking, He will say, โ€˜Look and see whether My slave did any voluntary (naafil) prayers.โ€™ If he did some voluntary prayers, [Allah] will say, Complete the obligatory actions of My slave from his voluntary actions.โ€™ Then all his actions will be dealt with in a similar manner.โ€
[Narrated by Abu Dawud]

โ And Allah knows best!

๐Ÿ’ Imam Abu Bakr Abd-Allah ibn az-Zubair al-Humaydi [d. 219AH]

๐Ÿ’ Biography of the Author

๐Ÿ’ Name and Lineage :

โ–โ He is Abd-Allah ibn az-Zubair ibn Isa ibn Ubayd-Allah ibn Usaamah, Abu Bakr, al-Qurashi al-Asadi al-Humaydi al-Makki, Shaykh of the Haraam, and the author of al-Musnad.

โ–โ His Teachers:

โ–โ He narrated hadith from Fudayl ibn Iyyad and Sufyan ibn Uyaynah -and he did so with frequency and he excelled- and Waki and ash-Shafiโ€™i, and others.

โ–โ His Students:

โ–โ Imam Bukhari narrated the first hadith in his sahih from him. His students also include adh-Dhuhli, Abu Zurโ€™ah ar-Razi, Abu Haatim ar-Razi, Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Idris al-Makki, his scribe, and many besides them.

โ–โ The Scholarsโ€™ Praise for Him:

โ–โ Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal said: โ€œWe consider Humaydi an imam.โ€ Abu Hatim said: โ€œThe most reliable of people (in narrating) from ibn Uyaynah is al-Humaydi. He is the head of his companions (students), and he is a reliable Imam.โ€ Yaโ€™qub al-Fasawi said: โ€œWe narrated from al-Humaydi and I did not meet anyone more sincere to Islam and its people than him.โ€ Hakim said: โ€œWhen Bukhari would find a hadith with al-Humaydi, he would not go beyond it to others.โ€ Harb al-Kirmani, al-Lalakaโ€™i, ibn Taymiyyah, and others described him as an Imam in the Sunnah.

โ–โ His Writings:

๐Ÿ’ขar-Radd Ala an-Nuโ€™man
๐Ÿ’ขat-Tafsir
๐Ÿ’ขad-Dalaโ€™il

โ–โ Text: The Foundations of the Sunnah

โ–โ Bishr ibn Musa narrated to us, saying: al-Humaydi narrated to us, saying:

โ–โ Belief in the Divine Decree :

โ–โ The sunnah, in our view: is that a man must believe in the Decree, the good of it and the bad of it, the sweetness of it, and the bitterness of it, and to know that what befalls would not have missed him, and what missed him would never have touched him. And that all of that is decreed by Allah (azza wajal - the Mighty and Sublime).

โ–โ Belief is Speech and Action, It Increases and Decreases :

โ–โ And that belief is speech and action. It increases and decreases. Speech does not benefit without action, nor do action or speech benefit without (proper) intention, nor do speech, action, or intention benefit except with the Sunnah.

โ–โ Praising the Sahabah, may Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) be pleased with them all :

โ–โ Invoking mercy upon all of the companions of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), for Allah (azza wajal - the Mighty and Sublime) said:

โ–โโ€œAnd those who come after them say O our Rabb! Forgive our brethren they were our predecessors in faith.โ€ [al-Hashr 49/10] .

โ–โ Thus, one will not have belief except by seeking forgiveness for them. Whoever insults or belittles them or even a single one of them, then he is not upon the Sunnah. And he has no right in the fay (spoils).

โ–โ More than one has informed us: from Malik ibn Anas (Rady'Allahu Anhu) that he said:

โ–โ"Allah subhanahu wa Taโ€™ala, divided the fay (spoils) between the poor emigrants, those who were driven out of their homesโ€ and then said: โ€œand those who come after them say oh our Lord forgive us and our brethren.โ€ [al-Hashr 49/8-10]

โ–โ And whoever does not say this concerning them, then he is not from those for whom there is fay (spoils).

โ–โ The Qur'an is the Speech of Allah The Exalted :

โ–โ The Qur'an is the speech of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) . I heard Sufyan (ibn Uyaynah) saying:

โ–โโ€œThe Qurโ€™an is the speech of Allah, and whoever says it is created is an innovator. And we have not heard anyone saying this.โ€

โ–โ The View of Sufyan regarding Iman :

โ–โ I heard Sufyan saying: โ€œIman is speech and action, it increases and decreases.โ€

โ–โ His brother Ibrahim ibn Uyaynah said to him: โ€œO Abu Muhammad! Do not say that it decreases. So he got mad and said: Be quiet o fool, rather it decreases until there is nothing left of it.โ€

โ–โ The Believers seeing their Lord on the Day of Judgement :

โ–โ And affirmation of ar-Ruโ€™yah (seeing Allah) after death.

โ–โ Affirming the Attributes :

โ–โ And (affirming) what is stated in the Qur'an and the hadith such as:

โ–โโ€œThe Jews say Allahโ€™s Hand is tied up.โ€ [al-Maidah 5/64] .
โ–โ And such as: โ€œAnd the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand.โ€ [az-Zumar 39/67]

โ–โ And what is similar to this from the Qurโ€™an and the hadith. We do not add to it nor explain it. We stop where the Qur'an and Sunnah stop, and we say:

โ–โโ€œThe Most Merciful rose over the Throne.โ€ [Ta-Ha 20/5]

โ–โ And whoever claims other than this is a Jahmi and a denier of Allahโ€™s Attributes.

โ–โ The difference between Ahlu's-Sunnah and the Khawaarij :

โ€ผ๏ธAnd that we do not say as the Khawaarij do:

โ€ผ๏ธโ€œWhoever commits a major sin has commited disbelief.โ€

โ–โ And we do not declare a person a disbeliever because of a sin that they commit. Kufr is only in abandoning the five concerning which RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said:

โ–โโ€œIslam is built upon five: Bearing witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is Allahโ€™s Messenger, to establish prayer, to give zakat, to fast in Ramadan, and to make Hajj to the house (Kaโ€™bah).โ€

โ–โ When is the proof established on the one who leaves the pillars of Islam, or some of them?

โ–โ As for three of them, then do not dispute the one who abandons them:

โ–โ The one who does not give the testimony of faith; nor does he pray; nor does he fast for none of these are delayed from its time nor does it suffice one to make them up after deliberately neglecting to perform them at their time.

โ–โ As for zakah, whenever he gives it, it suffices him, while he is sinful in withholding it. And as for Hajj, then for whoever it is obligatory and he is capable of performing it, then it becomes binding on him, but it is not binding on him in that very year such that he is no other choice.

โ–โ Whenever, he performs it, then he has fulfilled it, and he is not sinful in delaying it as he would be in delaying zakaah for zakaah is the right of poor Muslims which he has withheld from them, and hence he is sinful until it reaches them.

โ–โ As for Hajj, it is between him and his Lord, whenever he performs it, it is fulfilled. If he dies while he is able to perform it without having performed Hajj, he asks to be returned to the Dunya to perform Hajj, and it is obligatory on his family to perform Hajj on his behalf, and we hope that would fulfill it on his behalf, as if he had a debt and it was repaid on his behalf after he died.

๐Ÿ”ฐAllah (azza wajal)

โ–โ 1- We say about Allah's unity believing by Allah's help that Allah is One, without any partners.

โ–โ 2- There is nothing like Him.

โ–โ 3- There is nothing that can overwhelm Him.

โ–โ 4- There is no god other than Him.

โ–โ 5- He is the Eternal without a beginning and enduring without end.

โ–โ 6- He will never perish or come to an end.

โ–โ 7- Nothing happens except what He wills.

โ–โ 8- No imagination can conceive of Him and no understanding can comprehend Him.

โ–โ 9- He is different from any created being.

โ–โ 10- He is living and never dies and is eternally active and never sleeps.

โ–โ 11- He creates without His being in need to do so and provides for His creation without any effort.

โ–โ 12- He causes death with no fear and restores to life without difficulty.

โ–โ 13- He has always existed together with His attributes since before creation. Bringing creation into existence did not add anything to His attributes that was not already there. As He was, together with His attributes, in pre-eternity, so He will remain throughout endless time.

โ–โ 14- It was not only after the act of creation that He could be described as 'the Creator' nor was it only by the act of origination that He could he described as 'the Originator'.

โ–โ 15- He was always the Lord even when there was nothing to be Lord of, and always the Creator even when there was no creation.

โ–โ 16- In the same way that He is the 'Bringer to life of the dead', after He has brought them lo life a first time, and deserves this name before bringing them to life, so too He deserves the name of 'Creator' before He has created them.

โ–โ 17- This is because He has the power to do everything, everything is dependent on Him, everything is easy for Him, and He does not need anything. "There is nothing like Him and He is the Hearer, the Seer." (ash-Shura 42/11)

โ–โ 18- He created creation with His knowledge.

โ–โ 19- He appointed destinies for those He created.

โ–โ 20- He allotted to them fixed life spans.

โ–โ 21- Nothing about them was hidden from Him before He created them, and He knew everything that they would do before He created them.

โ–โ 22- He ordered them to obey Him and forbade them to disobey Him.

โ–โ 23- Everything happens according to His degree and will, and His will is accomplished. The only will that people have is what He wills for them. What He wills for them occurs and what He does not will, does not occur.

โ–โ 24- He gives guidance to whoever He wills, and protects them, and keeps them safe from harm, out of His generosity; and He leads astray whoever He wills, and abases them, and afflicts them, out of His justice.

โ–โ 25- All of them are subject to His will between either His generosity or His justice.

โ–โ 26- He is exalted beyond having opposites or equals.

โ–โ 27- No one can ward off His decree or put back His command or overpower His affairs.

โ–โ 28- We believe in all of this and are certain that everything comes from Him.

โ–โ 29- And we are certain that Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is His chosen servant and selected Prophet and His Messenger with whom He is well pleased.

โ–โ 30- And that he (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is the seal of the prophets and the Imam of the god-fearing and the most honored of all the messengers and the beloved of the Lord of all the Worlds.

โ–โ 31- Every claim to prophet-hood after Him is falsehood and deceit.

โ–โ 32- He is the one who has been sent to all the jinn and all mankind with truth and guidance and with light and illumination.

๐Ÿ’ฅThe Qur'an

โ–โ 33- The Qur'an is the word of Allah. It came from Him as speech without it being possible to say how. He sent it down on His Messenger as revelation. The believers accept it, as absolute truth. They are certain that it is, in truth, the word of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala). It is not created, as is the speech of human beings, and anyone who hears it and claims that it is human speech has become an unbeliever.

โ€ผ๏ธAllah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) warns him and censures him and threatens him with Fire when He says Exalted is He:

๐Ÿ”ฅ"I will burn him in the Fire."
[al-Muddaththir 74/26]

โ€ผ๏ธWhen Allah threatens with the Fire those who say:

๐Ÿ’ข"This is just human speech!"
[al-Muddaththir 74/25]

๐Ÿ”ฐwe know for certain that it is the speech of the Creator of mankind and that it is totally unlike the speech of mankind.

๐Ÿ’ขAttributes

โ–โ 34- Anyone who describes Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) as being in any way the same as a human being has become an unbeliever. All those who grasp this will take heed and refrain from saying things such as the unbelievers say, and they will know that He, in His attributes, is not like human beings.

๐Ÿ’ฅRu'yah

โ–โ 35- The Seeing of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) by the People of the Garden is true, without their vision being all-encompassing and without the manner of their vision being known. As the Book of our Lord has expressed it:

๐Ÿ’ฅ"Faces on that Day radiant, looking at their Lord."
[al-Qiyamah 75/22-23]

โ€ผ๏ธThe explanation of this is as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) knows and wills. Everything that has come down to us about this from the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in authentic traditions, is as he said and means what he intended.

๐Ÿ”ฐWe do not delve into that, trying to interpret it according to our own opinions or letting our imaginations have free rein. No one is safe in his religion unless he surrenders himself completely to Allah (azza wajal) and to His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and leaves the knowledge of things that are ambiguous to the one who knows them.

๐Ÿ’ Iman :

โ–โ 36- A man's Islam is not secure unless it is based on submission and surrender. Anyone who desires to know things which it is beyond his capacity to know, and whose intellect is not content with surrender, will find that his desire veils him from a pure understanding of Allah's true unity, clear knowledge and correct belief.

โ€ผ๏ธAnd that he veers between disbelief and belief, confirmation and denial and acceptance and rejection. He will he subject to whisperings and find himself confused and full of doubt, being neither an accepting believer nor a denying kafir.

โ–โ 37- Belief of a man in the "seeing of Allah by the people of the Garden is not correct if he imagines what it is like, or interprets it according to his own understanding since the interpretation of this seeing" or indeed, the meaning of any of the subtle phenomena which are in the realm of Lordship, is by avoiding its interpretation and strictly adhering to the submission.

๐Ÿ’Ž"This is the din of Muslims." Anyone who does not guard himself against negating the attributes of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , or likening Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) to something else, has gone astray and has failed lo understand Allah's Glory, because our Lord (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) can only possibly be described in terms of Oneness and Absolute Singularity and no creation is in any way like Him.

โ–โ 38- He is beyond having limits placed on Him, or being restricted, or having parts or limbs. Nor is He contained by the six directions as all created things are.

39- The Ascent through the heavens is true. RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) was taken by night and ascended in his bodily form, while awake, through the heavens, to whatever heights Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) willed for him.

Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) ennobled him in the way that He ennobled him and revealed to him what He revealed to him:

"and his heart was not mistaken about what it saw." [al-Najm 53/11]

Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) blessed him and granted him peace in this world and the next.

al-Hawd

40- The Pool which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will grant the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) as an honor to quench the thirst of his Ummah on the Day Of Judgement, is true.

Shafa'ah

41- The intercession, which is stored up for Muslims, is true, as related in the (consistent and confirmed) ahadith.

The covenant

42- The covenant 'which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) made with Adam (Alaihe wa sallam) and his offspring' is true.

Paradise and the Hell

43- Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) knew, before the existence of time, the exact number of those who would enter the Garden and the exact number of those who would enter the Fire. This number will neither be increased nor decreased.
