⚔️ It is Permissible to Fight the Khawarij If They Attack the Muslims
🔰It is permissible to fight the Khawarij if they attack the persons, property or families of the Muslims (Bukhari) but, if they desist and flee, they may not be chased, nor are their wounded to be killed, nor set upon, nor may those taken captive be killed, nor are those who flee to be followed.
💠Obedience is Only in what is Good
💢Know that there is no obedience to any human in disobedience to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic[⭕️36].
[⭕️ 36 :- RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) reported to have said: “Obedience is only in what is good.” [Bukhari; Muslim]
RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) also reported to have said: “Hearing and obeying is (binding) upon the Muslim in what he likes or dislikes, so long as he is not ordered to sin. If he is ordered with sin, then there is no hearing or obeying.” [Bukhari; Muslim; Abu Dawud]
🚫Do Not Bear Witness that a Person is an Inhabitant of Paradise or the Fire
🔰Do not bear witness for any of the people of Islam (i.e., that he is a person of Paradise or of the Fire) due to a good or bad deed, since you do not know what his final action before his death will be. You hope for Allah’s Mercy for him and you fear for him because of his sins. You do not know what has been destined for him at the time of his death[⭕️37] as regards repentance and what Allah has destined for that time if he dies upon Islam. You hope for Allah’s mercy for him and you fear for him because of his sins.
[⭕️ 37 : - Al-Miqdaad ibn al-Aswad (Rady'Allahu anhu) said: “I will not say anything good or bad about a person until I see how he ends, after something I heard from RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). It was said: What did you hear? He (Rady'Allahu anhu) said: I heard RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) say: The heart of the son of Adam is agitated more severely than the cooking pot when it boils.” [Ahmad; Hakim; Ibn Abi Aasim, as-Sunnah, # 226]
Anas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reports that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “Do not be delighted by the action of anyone until you see how he ends up.” [Ahmad; Ibn Abi Aasim, as-Sunnah, 347-353]
💥Allah Accepts the Repentance of All Sins
💢There is no sin except that the servant may repent from it.

🍃Stoning is true and correct [⭕️38].
[⭕️38 : - This refers to the stoning to death of a man or a woman guilty of fornication, who are, or have previously been, married. Ubaadah ibn as-Saamit (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “Receive from me, receive from me: Allah has ordained a way for those (women). When an unmarried man commits fornication with an unmarried woman, then one hundred lashes and banishment for one year. As for a married man committing adultery with a married woman, then they shall be lashed one hundred times and stoned to death.” [Muslim]

💢Shortening the prayer when traveling is the Sunnah.
🔰One May either Fast or Abstain from Fasting whilst Traveling
💢As regards fasting when traveling, whoever wishes may fast and whoever wishes may abstain from fasting[⭕️40].
[⭕️ 40 : - Shaikhu’l-Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimahu'Allah) said: “As regards the journey on which the prayer may be shortened, it is permissible to abstain from fasting on it and to make up the fast later on, by agreement of the scholars. Abstaining from fasting is allowed for the traveler by agreement of the scholars, whether one is able to fast or not, whether fasting is difficult or not, even if the traveler was shaded, had sufficient water and had someone to serve him, still it is allowed for him to abstain from fasting and to shorten the prayer.
Whoever says that abstaining from fasting is only allowed for one who is unable to fast, then repentance is to be sought from him. Either he repents, or he is executed. Likewise, for one who criticizes the one who abstains from fasting (on the journey), then his repentance is to be sought.” [Majmu al-Fatawa, 25/209]

[⭕️ 41 :- Hypocrisy (Nifaaq) is of two types:
♨️Hypocrisy of belief: This is what is mentioned by the author here. This type of hypocrisy takes a person outside the fold of Islam.
🚫Hypocrisy of action: This involves a person having some characteristics of the hypocrites, i.e., lying, breaking promises, proving dishonest when trusted, behaving impudently when disputing and proving treacherous with regards to contracts. This type, although very serious, does not take a person outside Islam, but, in time, it may lead to that.

💠All of Allah’s Creation Act Upon His Command
💢Know that reptiles, beasts of prey and all creatures such as the tiny ant, the fly and the ant are all acting as they are commanded. They do not do anything except by the permission of Allah, the Blessed and the Most High.
💥Allah’s Knowledge Comprehends All Matters: Those that Take Place and Those that Do Not
🔰To have faith that Allah knew whatever would be from the start of time and whatever would not be and that He fully enumerated and comprehended everything that was to be. Anyone who says: “He did not know that which was or will be in existence.” has disbelieved in Allah, the Most Sublime.
🍃No Marriage Without a Guardian
💢There is no marriage except with a guardian (Wali)[⭕️47] and two just witnesses and a dower (Sadaaq/Mahr), whether it is a small amount or a large amount. As for a woman without a guardian, then the ruler is the guardian of one without a guardian.
[⭕️47 : - Abu Musa (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported that RasulAlllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “There is no marriage without the guardian (wali).” [Abu Dawud]
🚫Divorcing a Wife Three Times Makes Her Unlawful
💢If a man divorces his wife three times, she is forbidden to him. (She) is not permissible for him unless she marries another man.
🚫The Blood of a Muslim is Haraam Except in Three Cases
🔰The blood of a Muslim who bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger may not be spilt except in three cases:
1️⃣ Fornication after having been married;
2️⃣ apostasy after faith
3️⃣ and one who kills a Believer without right and so is executed for it.
🚫Apart from that, the Muslim’s blood is unlawful forever, until the Last Hour is established [⭕️48].
[⭕️48 : - RasulAlllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “The blood of a Muslim, who witnesses that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, is not lawful except in three (cases): The married fornicator; a life for a life and the one who abandons his religion and leaves the Jama’aah.” [Bukhari; Muslim]
💠Some of Allah’s Creation Will Come to an End, whilst Others Will Remain, as He Pleases
💢Everything that Allah has decreed to come to an end will, indeed, end. Paradise and the Fire will not end, nor the Throne (Arsh), the Footstool (KursI), the Pen (Qalam), the Horn (SUr) and the Preserved Tablet (Lawh). None of these things will ever perish.
🔰Then Allah will raise up the creation on the Day of Resurrection in the state in which He caused them to die. He will take account of them as He pleases, a group for Paradise and a group for the burning Fire, and He will say to the rest of creation which were not created to last, Be dust.
💥Allah Will Bring about Justice for All of His Creation

💠All of Allah’s Creation Act Upon His Command
💢Know that reptiles, beasts of prey and all creatures such as the tiny ant, the fly and the ant are all acting as they are commanded. They do not do anything except by the permission of Allah, the Blessed and the Most High.
💥Allah’s Knowledge Comprehends All Matters: Those that Take Place and Those that Do Not
🔰To have faith that Allah knew whatever would be from the start of time and whatever would not be and that He fully enumerated and comprehended everything that was to be. Anyone who says: “He did not know that which was or will be in existence.” has disbelieved in Allah, the Most Sublime.
🍃No Marriage Without a Guardian
💢There is no marriage except with a guardian (Wali)[⭕️47] and two just witnesses and a dower (Sadaaq/Mahr), whether it is a small amount or a large amount. As for a woman without a guardian, then the ruler is the guardian of one without a guardian.
[⭕️47 : - Abu Musa (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported that RasulAlllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “There is no marriage without the guardian (wali).” [Abu Dawud]
🚫Divorcing a Wife Three Times Makes Her Unlawful
💢If a man divorces his wife three times, she is forbidden to him. (She) is not permissible for him unless she marries another man.
🚫The Blood of a Muslim is Haraam Except in Three Cases
🔰The blood of a Muslim who bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger may not be spilt except in three cases:
1️⃣ Fornication after having been married;
2️⃣ apostasy after faith
3️⃣ and one who kills a Believer without right and so is executed for it.
🚫Apart from that, the Muslim’s blood is unlawful forever, until the Last Hour is established [⭕️48].
[⭕️48 : - RasulAlllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “The blood of a Muslim, who witnesses that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, is not lawful except in three (cases): The married fornicator; a life for a life and the one who abandons his religion and leaves the Jama’aah.” [Bukhari; Muslim]
💠Some of Allah’s Creation Will Come to an End, whilst Others Will Remain, as He Pleases
💢Everything that Allah has decreed to come to an end will, indeed, end. Paradise and the Fire will not end, nor the Throne (Arsh), the Footstool (KursI), the Pen (Qalam), the Horn (SUr) and the Preserved Tablet (Lawh). None of these things will ever perish.
🔰Then Allah will raise up the creation on the Day of Resurrection in the state in which He caused them to die. He will take account of them as He pleases, a group for Paradise and a group for the burning Fire, and He will say to the rest of creation which were not created to last, Be dust.
💥Allah Will Bring about Justice for All of His Creation
💢To have faith in the retribution (Qisaas) on the Day of Resurrection between all of creation: Humans, reptiles, beasts of prey and even between ants, until Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, brings about justice for all of them from each other: the people of Paradise from the people of the Fire, the people of the Fire from the people of Paradise, the people of Paradise from each other and the people of the Fire from each other[⭕️49].
[⭕️49- RasulAlllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “It is not fitting for any of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise whilst there is a right due from him to a person of the people of the Fire, until I exact from him for him, even a slap.

💠The simplest definition of al-Ikhlās (sincerity):
💢Atā Ibn al-Sā’ib said: It has reached me that Alī Ibn Abū Tālib رضي الله عنه said:
💠❝Righteous deeds are those for which you do not seek praises for yourself but for Allāh (alone).❞
[Ibn Abī al-Dunya in “al-Ikhlās wal-Niyyah]
۞۞۞۞
💢 In today’s terms, it would also include: “the number of followers / likes / hits / counts” etc. These things should not bother us or be our main concern. Our aim should be to seek Allāh’s pleasure.
💢 We should bring ourselves to account; if our posts are motivated by the number of “likes”, then we have failed in our aim!

💠Kitaab Sharhu’s-Sunnah, Imam al-Barbahari
💢Part - 16
🔰The Actions of the Slaves Must be Done with Sincerity for Allah, Without Shirk
💥To make actions purely and sincerely for Allah.
💢One Must Accept and be Pleased With the Decree of Allah
💠To be pleased with the decree of Allah, to have patience with the Judgment of Allah, to believe in whatever Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has said and to believe in all that Allah has pre-decreed, the good and the bad and the sweet and the bitter. Allah knew what the servants were going to do and to where they were heading. They cannot escape the Knowledge of Allah. There is nothing in the earths or in the heavens except that Allah, the Most High, knows it. You should know that whatever befalls you was never going to miss you and whatever missed you was never going to befall you [⭕️50]. There is no creator besides Allah, the Mighty and Majestic[⭕️51].
[⭕️ 50 : - It was narrated by Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “Know that if the ummah gathered together to benefit you with something, they could not benefit you unless Allah had written it down for you and if they gathered to harm you with something, they could not do so unless Allah had written it down for you. The pens have been raised and the scrolls have dried.” [Tirmidhi; Imam Nawawi, Forty Hadith, # 19]
To have Faith in Allah’s pre-decree (Qadr) is one of the Pillars of Faith. Whoever rejects it is not a Believer. It has four principles:
1️⃣ That Allah knew everything that would ever be;
2️⃣ that Allah wrote everything that would ever be in the Preserved Tablet;
3️⃣ that Allah willed whatever occurs and;
4️⃣ that Allah created everything.
[⭕️51 : - This is to emphasize that Allah creates everything, including mans actions. Unlike the Qadariyyah (the deniers of Qadr), who believe that man creates his own actions, just as the Magians believed in two creators: a creator of good and a creator of evil. RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) foretold the appearance of this sect, when he said:
“The Qadariyyah are the Magians of this ummah. If they fall ill, do not visit them and if they die then do not attend their funeral.” [Abu Dawud] Concerning a persons actions, Allah the Most High, says: “Allah created you and your actions.” [as-Saaffat 37/96]
Allah alone is the creator of everything, including mans actions. However, He gave man limited free will to choose between good and evil. Furthermore, He, the Most High, sent His Messengers to call to goodness and to that which leads to Paradise and to warn against evil and that which leads to Hell-Fire. So man earns, and is fully responsible for, his own actions. Imam Bukhari wrote a whole book entitled Khalq Afaalul-Ibaad (The actions of the servants are created) on this subject.
🍃The Funeral Prayer Consists of Four Takbirs
💢Four Takbirs are to be said for the Janaazah Prayer. This is the saying of Malik ibn Anas, Sufyan ath-Thawri, Hasan ibn Salih, Ahmad ibn Hanbal and the scholars and it was the saying of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). [Bukhari; Muslim]
💥An Angel Descends With Every Raindrop
💠To have Faith that with every raindrop there is an angel who descends with it until he places it where Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has ordered[⭕️52]
[⭕️52 : - This is reported as the saying of al-Hakam ibn Utaibah (a taabi’i who died in 115H), reported by Tabari in his Tafsir (14/19), with a sahih isnaad. It is also reported as the saying of Hasan al-Basri (d.110H) by Abu’sh-Shaykh in al-Azamah (no.761), with a hasan isnaad.

💠To have faith that, when RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) spoke to the (dead) people thrown into the dry well on the Day of Badr (i.e., the mushriks), they heard his words [⭕️53].
🍃Allah Removes Sins Due To Illness
💢To have faith that if a man becomes ill, Allah rewards him for his illness [⭕️54].
[⭕️53 : - RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) called out: “O Abu Jahl ibn Hishaam! O Umayyah ibn Khalaf! O Utbah ibn Rabiah! O Shaibah ibn Rabiah! and he named their leaders (saying), Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? I have found what my Lord promised me to be true! Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) said: O RasulAllah! You speak to a people who have become corpses? So he (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied: By Him in whose Hand is my soul! You do not hear what I am saying better than they, but they are unable to reply.” [Bukhari; Muslim]
[⭕️54 : - Abd-Allah ibn Mas’ud reports: “I visited RasulAlllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) during his illness and he was suffering from high fever. I said: You have a high fever. Is it because you will have a double reward for it? He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied: Yes!

🔰Children Feel Pain in this World
♨️To have Faith that children feel pain if afflicted in this world. Bakr, the son of the sister of Abdu’l-Wahid, said: They do not feel pain. He has lied.
🍃No One Enters Paradise Except by the Mercy of Allah
💢Know that no one will enter Paradise except through the Mercy of Allah. Allah will not punish anyone except according to the degree of his sins. If He were to punish them all, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths, the good and the bad of them, then He would punish them without being unjust to them [⭕️55].
🔰It is not permissible to describe Allah, the Most High, as being unjust, since the unjust is the one who takes that which is not his own, whereas creation and decree belong to Allah, the Magnificent. The creation is His creation and the world is His. He is not to be questioned about what He does, but they are to be questioned. Why? and How? are not asked. None can enter between Allah and His creation[⭕️56].
[⭕️ 55: - Ubayy ibn Kab reports that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “If Allah punished those who inhabit His heavens and His earth, He would punish them without being unjust to them. If He had mercy upon them, His mercy would be greater than their actions.” [Abu Dawud; Ibn Maajah; Ahmad]
[⭕️56:- No one may be taken as an intermediary, since Allah hears the supplication of whoever calls upon Him. Moreover, Allah is not in need of any intermediaries. Allah, the Most High, says: “When my slaves ask you concerning Me, (answer them), I am indeed near. I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me so let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.” [al-Baqarah 2/186]

💠Kitaab Sharhu’s-Sunnah, Imam al-Barbahari
💢Part - 18
💠Doubt his Islam of one who Does Not Accept the Hadith of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)
🔰If you hear a man criticizing the narrations, not accepting them or rejecting any of the narrations from RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), doubt his Islam since he is a person having despicable opinion and saying. He is, indeed, attacking RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and his Companions, since we have only come to know of Allah, His Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), the Qur’an, what is good and bad and of this world and the Hereafter through the narrations[⭕️57].
💥The Qur’an needs the Sunnah to Explain it
🍃The Qur’an needs the Sunnah more than the Sunnah needs the Qur’an[⭕️58].
[⭕️ 57 :- RasulAlllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “There will come a time when a man sitting upon his couch is told a hadith and he replies: Between us and you is the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. What we find in it to be lawful, we take as lawful and what we find in it to be forbidden, we take as forbidden. Indeed, what RasulAllah has forbidden is like what Allah has forbidden.” [Ahmad; Abu Dawud; Ibn Maajah; Tirmidhi]
Imam Malik (Rahimahu'Allah) said: “Everyone after RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) will have his saying accepted or rejected, not so RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).” [Ibn Abdu’l-Barr, Jaami Bayaani’l-Ilm, 2/91]
Imam Ahmad (Rahimahu'Allah) said: “Whoever rejects a hadith of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is on the brink of destruction.” [Tabaqaatu’l-Hanaabilah, 2/15; Ibn Battah, al-Ibanatu’l-Kubraa, 1/97]
[⭕️58 : - This agrees with Allahs saying: “We have revealed to you the Reminder (the Qur'an), so that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them.” [an-Nahl 16/44]
This saying of Imam al-Barbahari (Rahimahu'Allah) is also reported as the saying of Makhul ash-Shaami, the taabi’i (d.113H), with a sahih chain of narration. (al-Khatib, al-Kifaayah,14 and others) Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, the tabii (d.129H) said: “The Sunnah is decisive over the Qur'an, but the Qur'an is not decisive over the Sunnah.” [Darimi, as-Sunnan, 1/153]
Fudayl ibn Ziyaad said: “I heard Abu Abdullah, meaning Ahmad ibn Hanbal, being asked about the narration that the Sunnah is decisive over the Book so he said: I do not venture to say that the Sunnah is decisive over the Book, but the Sunnah does explain the Book and clarifies it.” [Ibn Abdu’l-Barr, al-Jaami, 191-192]
🚫Unwarranted Speech About Allah’s Pre-Decree is Forbidden
💢(Unwarranted) speech, argumentation and disputation about Pre-Decree is forbidden with all the sects, since Pre-Decree is Allah’s secret. The Lord, the Blessed and Most High forbade the Prophets from (such) speech about it. RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) forbade argumentation about Pre-Decree. The Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and the Successors hated it. It was hated by the scholars and the people of piety; they forbade disputation about Pre-Decree. So submit, affirm, have faith and believe in what RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said about matters and remain silent concerning other than that.
