🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.
💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"
💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"
💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]
💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.
[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]
💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]
💠 Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said,

🔰Continue to Order Good and Forbid Evil, Unless You Fear the Sword
💠Ordering good and forbidding the evil is an obligation, except if you fear the sword or rod of a person.
🍃Salaams Must be Given to all Allah’s Worshippers
💢Greetings of salaam are to be given to all of Allah’s worshippers.
🚫The One Who Abandons the Congregational Prayer In the Mosque Is an Innovator
♨️Whoever abandons the Jumu’ah or congregational prayer in the mosque, without an excuse, is an innovator. An excuse may be illness, due to which a person is unable to go out to the mosque, or fear of an oppressive ruler and what is besides that is not an excuse.
🔰The Imam is Appointed To Be Followed
💠Whoever prays behind an Imam and does not follow him, there is no prayer for him [⭕️98].
⚔️Ordering Good and Forbidding Evil are Not To Be Done With the Sword
💠Ordering good and forbidding evil are to be done with the hand [⭕️99], the tongue and the heart, not with the sword [⭕️100].
[⭕️98 :- RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “The Imam is appointed to be followed. When he says takbir, say takbir; when he prostrates, you should prostrate; when he rises up, you should rise up and when he says, Allah listens to the one who praises Him, say: our Lord! All praise is for you. When he prays sitting, all of you should pray sitting.” [Bukhari; Muslim]
[⭕️99 :- RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “He amongst you who sees an evil, let him change it with his hand. If he is unable, then with his tongue and if he is unable, then with his heart and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim; Abu Dawud; Tirmidhi; Ibn Maajah; Ahmad]
[⭕️100 :- Ibn Rajab says: “Changing with the hand does not mean fighting.” [Jaami ul-Ulum wa’l-Hikam, 304] This is also stated by Ahmad in the narration of Salih. He said: “Changing with the hand does not mean with the sword and the use of weapons. So the use of the sword is not for the public, rather it is for the ruler.” [Ibn Muflih, al-Adaabu’sh-Shariyyah, 1/163]

💠He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) also reported to have said: “Leave my Companions and do not speak about them except good.”[⭕️103] Do not discuss about their slips or wars, nor that of which you have no knowledge. Do not listen to (such talk) from anyone for, if you do, your heart will not remain safe and sound[⭕️104].
[⭕️103: - RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “Leave my Companions for me. For Him in whose hand is my soul, if you were to spend the like of Uhud or the mountains in gold, you would not reach their actions.” [Ahmad]
[⭕️104: - We should also hate those who have any ill feelings for any of the Companions since Allah (jalla jalaluhu) declared that He is pleased with them. “(Some part is due) to the indigent Muhajirs, those who were expelled from their homes and their property, while seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure, and aiding Allah and His Messenger: such are indeed the sincere ones. But those who before them, had homes (in Madinah) and had adopted the Faith, show their affection to such as came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot).
And those saved from the covetousness of their own souls, they are the ones that achieve prosperity. And those who came after them say: Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancor (or sense of injury) against those who have believed. Our Lord! Thou art indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful.” [al-Hashr 59/8-10]
“The vanguard (of Islam) the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of those who gave them aid, and (also) those who follow them in (all) good deeds, well-pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is the supreme felicity.” [at-Tawbah 9/100]
“Verily those who plight their fealty to thee do no less than plight their fealty to Allah: the Hand of Allah is over their hands: then any one who violates his oath, does so to the harm of his own soul, and any one who fulfils what he has covenanted with Allah, Allah will soon grant him a great Reward.

♨️One who Criticizes and Rejects the Ahadith is a Person of Desires and Innovation
💢If you hear someone criticizing or rejecting the narrations or desiring something other than the narrations, have doubt about his Islam. Do not doubt about his being a person of desires and innovation.
🍃Behaving Well Towards the Oppressive Muslim Ruler and Praying Behind Him
🔰Know that a rulers oppression does not reduce or remove anything that Allah has made obligatory upon the tongue of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). His oppression is upon himself. Your acts of obedience and good deeds, along with behaving well towards him, are complete, if Allah, the Most High, wills. Accompany them in all acts of obedience, such as the congregational and Jumu’ah prayers (and Jihaad alongside them) for you have your independent intention in that[⭕️105].
[⭕️105: - Shaikhu’l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimahu'Allah) said: “The rulers are not to be fought due to committing sins. Even though a person may be killed for some sins, such as adultery and the like. However, it is not permitted to fight the rulers for doing things for which a person may be killed, since the corruption caused by this fighting is far greater than the corruption of a major sin committed by the ruler.” [Majmu al-Fatawa, 22/61]

🍃Supplicating For the (Muslim) Ruler
💢 If you find a man making supplication against the (Muslim) ruler, know that he is a person of innovation. If you find a person making supplication for the (Muslim) ruler to be upright, know that he is a person of the Sunnah, if Allah wills. Fudayl ibn Iyaad (Rahimahu'Allah) said:
💠“If I had an invocation that was to be answered, I would not make it except for the ruler. It was said to him, O Abu Ali! Explain that to us. He replied: If I made an invocation for myself, it would not go beyond me. Whereas, if I make it for the ruler, he is corrected and, through that, the servants and the land are set in order.” [Abu Nu’aym, al-Hilyah, 8/91; al-Khallal, as-Sunnah, # 9]
💢We are ordered to make supplication for them (i.e., the rulers) to be upright. We have not been ordered to make supplication against them, even if they commit tyranny and oppression, since their tyranny and oppression reflect only upon themselves, but their rectitude is good for themselves and the Muslims.

If you hear a man saying: “So and so is a Naasibi”, know that the one saying so is a Raafidi. If you hear a man saying: “Tell me about tawhid and explain tawhid to me”, know that he is a Khariji, a Mutazili [⭕️107.] (If you hear a man) saying: “So and so is a Mujbir (Jabariyy), or, He speaks with Ijbaar, or he speaks about Justice, (Adl)”, know that he is a Qadiri, since these names are a novelty introduced by the innovators.
[⭕️107: - What the author means here by tawhid is the tawhid claimed by the Mutazilah as one of their five principles, that is: the denial of Allah’s attributes, i.e., something contrary to true tawhid.
[⭕️108: - The author indicates how the extreme innovators accuse the people of the Sunnah, those who do not share their deviation, but take the middle path. So when they (i.e., the people of the Sunnah), for example, give due love and respect to the Companions, they are accused by the Raafidis of having less love for Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu) than is due and indeed of hating him and the family (Ahlu’l-Bayt) of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and of being Naasibis. Whereas, the Naasibis would accuse them of being Raafidis, and so on with the rest of the misguided sects.
Imam Abu Haatim ar-Razi (Rahimahu'Allah) said: “The sign of the people of innovation is that they attack those who cling to the narrations. The sign of the heretical apostates is that they call Ahlu’s-Sunnah; The worthless ones, intending thereby to annul the narrations.

❐ Thus Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) made the (issue of) bestowal for (both) Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).

This is because bounty is in the hand of Allah, He gives it to whom He chooses and Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) is the possessor of great bounty.
❐ He has favor over the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and the believers. He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) said (relating what the true believers should say):
❐ "Indeed it is Allah we implore to (enrich us)." [at-Tawbah 9/59]
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) made the (issue of) imploring, to Allah alone, as in His saying:
❐ "So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship. And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions & hopes."[ash-Sharh 94/7-8]
❐ RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) also said to Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu Anhu): "If you ask, then ask Allah and if you seek help, then seek help from Allah." The Qur'an indicates to such a thing in many places.
❐ Thus Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) made worship, reverence and taqwaa for Him (exclusively) and He made obedience and love for (both) Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) , as in the saying of Nuh (Alaihe wa sallam):
❐ "That you should worship Allah (Alone), be dutiful to Him, and obey me." [Nuh 71/3]
❐ Likewise, His saying: "And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, fears Allah, and keeps his duty (to Him), such are the successful ones." [an-Nur 24/52] There are other examples of this nature.
❐ The Messengers were commanded with the worship of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) alone, to implore him, have tawakkul upon Him, be obedient to Him and to be obeyed.
❐ Shaytan misguided the Christians and those similar to them, they committed shirk with Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and disobeyed the Messenger.

🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.
💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"
💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"
💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]
💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.
[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]
💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]
💠 Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said,

🔰Part : 1
💥CREEDS
💢The obligatory matters of the deen that the tongue should give expression to and in which the heart should believe.
💠This chapter clarifies what should be expressed in words and what hearts should believe. It contains about a hundred items of creed, which can be divided into three basic categories: that which must be believed about Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala), that which is impossible in respect of Allah, and that which is permissible in respect of Him.
🍃These are matters which all those who are legally responsible must believe.
1️⃣ Beliefs regarding Allah
☝️a- Tawhid -His Oneness and Disconnection from creatures (tanzih)
💢These obligatory tenets include believing in the heart and expressing with the tongue that Allah is One God with no god other than Him, nor any likeness to Him, nor any equal to Him.[⭕️1]
[⭕️1: - Belief is expressed on the tongue and confirmed by sincerity in the heart and action with the limbs. Thus it is composed of all three aspects. Nonetheless, simple belief in the Oneness of Allah will save a person from being in the Fire for all eternity.
The belief that Allah is One is the fundamental basis of Islam, and when Divine Unity is expressed, the name "Allah" must be used. It is not permissible to say: "There is no god but the Almighty." or use any other names except Allah. Nothing at all resembles Him or is equal to Him.
al-Kalbi mentions that the clear evidence for this is found in four ayats: "If there had been any gods except Allah in heaven or earth, they would both be ruined." [al-Anbiya 21/22]; "Say: If there had been other gods together with Him as you say, they would have sought a way to the Master of the Throne." [al-Isra 17/42]; "Allah has no son and there is no other god accompanying Him, for then each god would have gone off with what He created and one of them would have been exalted above the other." [al-Muminun 23/91]; and "But they have adopted gods apart from Him which do not create anything. They are themselves created." [al-Furqan 25/3]
☝️b- Lack of Associates
💥He (azza wajal) has had no child. He had no father. He has no wife. He has no partner.[⭕️2]
[⭕️2: - “Say: He is Allah, One with no other, Allah the Everlasting Sustainer of all. He has not given birth and was not born and there is no one is equal to Him.” [al-Ikhlas 112/1-3] and “And say: Praise be to Allah Who has had no son and Who has no partner in His Kingdom and Who needs no one to protect Him from abasement.” [al-Isra 17/111] He is totally unique. If he were to have a wife or partner, that would imply need, and He (jalla jalaluhu) is absolutely beyond need.
☝️c- Lack of Temporality
🔰There is no beginning to His firstness nor any end to His lastness.[⭕️3]
[⭕️3: - His existence does not begin with firstness so that there is a point at which He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) could be said to begin nor does He have a point at which He could be said to end. He exists eternally, out of time, before time and after time.
💠d- Ineffablity and Indefinablity
💢Those who try to describe Him can never adequately do so nor can thinkers encompass Him in their thought. Real thinkers may derive lessons from His signs but do not try to think about the nature of His Essence: "But they do not attain any of His knowledge except what He wills." [al-Baqarah 2/254] [⭕️4]
[⭕️4: - It is impossible to grasp His true description, let alone His Essence. Thinkers must learn through the Signs which indicate the splendour of His Power, but must not attempt to reflect on the nature of His Essence because RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “Reflect on His creation, but do not reflect on His Essence.”

💢e- His Footstool
💥"His Footstool embraces the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent." [al-Baqarah 2/254] [⭕️5]
[⭕️5 : - He (azza wajal) has full control and authority over all creation, high and low, and His preservation of them is no burden for Him.
💠f- His Attributes
🔰The All-Knower and the All-Aware, the Arranger and the All-Powerful. The All-Hearer and the All-Seeing. The High and the Great. He is over His Glorious Throne by His Essence.[⭕️6]
[⭕️6 : - He (jalla jalaluhu) has knowledge of all things, and complete power and authority over all things. His hearing and vision is connected to all things in existence.
🍃g- His knowledge
💥He (azza wajal) is everywhere by His knowledge. He created man and He knows what his self whispers to him and He is nearer to him than his jugular vein. No leaf falls without him knowing of it nor is there any seed in the darkness of the earth, nor any fresh thing nor any dry thing, that is not in a clear book.[⭕️7]
[⭕️7: - He knows our inner dialogue and thoughts. He is closer to man that his jugular vein, which is his physical body, and so He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) is closer to man than his own physicality. “We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.” [al-Qaf 50/16] In addition to the universal scope of His knowledge, He knows the precise details, like each individual leaf which falls; and it only falls by His will and in accordance with His knowledge. Everything is encompassed by His knowledge, dead or alive, growing or dormant. “The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them except for Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and no wet thing or dry thing, but that it is in a Clear Book.” [al-Anam 6/59]
💠h- Mastery over all creation
💢He (azza wajal) is firmly established on His throne and has absolute control over His kingdom.[⭕️8]
[⭕️8: - No one knows the true interpretation of this expression. Imam Malik was asked about it and said: “Firmly established is known but how is not known.” Nothing is hidden from Him and His control is absolute. “He then established Himself firmly on the Throne.” [Yunus 10/3]
💥i- His Names and Attributes
💠He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has the most beautiful names and the most sublime attributes and He has always had all these names and attributes. He is exalted above any of His attributes ever having been created or any of His names having been brought into temporal existence.[⭕️9]
[⭕️9: - He (azza wajal) is described by the best and noblest of the meanings of His Names. He has attributes like power, will, height, and so forth. He is high exalted over any imperfection or lack. These Names have always been His and will remain His. Thus neither His names nor His attributes are created. They are simply His. “To Allah belong the Most Beautiful Names.” [al-Araf 7/180]
🍃j- His Speech and Manifestation
🔰He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) spoke to Musa (alaihe wa sallam) with His speech which is an attribute of His essence and not something created. He manifested Himself to the mountain and it disintegrated through exposure to His majesty.[⭕️10]
[⭕️10: - Allah (azza wajal) spoke to Musa (alaihe wa sallam) with His timeless words and Musa actually heard His timeless speech. “When Musa came to Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: My Lord, show me Yourself so that I may look at You! He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) said: You will not see Me, but look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, then you will see Me. But when His Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, He crushed it flat and Musa fell unconscious to the ground.” [al-Araf 7/143]

🔰Part : 2
💢e- His Footstool
💥"His Footstool embraces the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent." [al-Baqarah 2/254] [⭕️5]
[⭕️5 : - He (azza wajal) has full control and authority over all creation, high and low, and His preservation of them is no burden for Him.
💠f- His Attributes

[⭕️6 : - He (jalla jalaluhu) has knowledge of all things, and complete power and authority over all things. His hearing and vision is connected to all things in existence.
🍃g- His knowledge
💥He (azza wajal) is everywhere by His knowledge. He created man and He knows what his self whispers to him and He is nearer to him than his jugular vein. No leaf falls without him knowing of it nor is there any seed in the darkness of the earth, nor any fresh thing nor any dry thing, that is not in a clear book.[⭕️7]
[⭕️7: - He knows our inner dialogue and thoughts. He is closer to man that his jugular vein, which is his physical body, and so He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) is closer to man than his own physicality. “We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.” [al-Qaf 50/16] In addition to the universal scope of His knowledge, He knows the precise details, like each individual leaf which falls; and it only falls by His will and in accordance with His knowledge. Everything is encompassed by His knowledge, dead or alive, growing or dormant. “The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them except for Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and no wet thing or dry thing, but that it is in a Clear Book.” [al-Anam 6/59]
💠h- Mastery over all creation
💢He (azza wajal) is firmly established on His throne and has absolute control over His kingdom.[⭕️8]
[⭕️8: - No one knows the true interpretation of this expression. Imam Malik was asked about it and said: “Firmly established is known but how is not known.” Nothing is hidden from Him and His control is absolute. “He then established Himself firmly on the Throne.” [Yunus 10/3]
