💠Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) talked about Friday and said,

💥"There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand."

🔰And he (the Prophetﷺ) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَكَرَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ فِيهِ سَاعَةٌ لاَ يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ، وَهْوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي، يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئًا إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ‏"‌‏.‏ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ يُقَلِّلُهَا‏.‏

[Sahih al-Bukhari 935]

💥Dua For Protection From
Bad Character and evil desires💥

💠Ziyad bin `Ilaqah (Rady'Allahu anhu) narrated from his uncle, that he said:

🔰“[The Prophet (ﷺ)] used to say: ‘O Allah, I seek refuge in You from evil character, evil actions, and evil desires (Allāhumma innī a`ūdhu bika min munkarātil-akhlāqi wal-a`māli wal-ahwā’).’”

‎حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاَقَةَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مُنْكَرَاتِ الأَخْلاَقِ وَالأَعْمَالِ وَالأَهْوَاءِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَعَمُّ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاَقَةَ هُوَ قُطْبَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

🔥Stop celebrating Non-Muslim's new year

💠Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahu'Allah) said:

🚫it is not permissible for the Muslims to attend the festivals of the mushrikeen, according to the consensus of the scholars whose words carry weight. The fuqaha’ who follow the four schools of thought have stated this clearly in their books…‼️

💢Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a saheeh isnaad from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab that he (Rady'Allahu anhu) said:

🔥“Do not enter upon the mushrikeen in their churches on the day of their festival, for divine wrath is descending upon them.”

🔰And ‘Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) also said: “Avoid the enemies of Allaah on their festivals.”

💠Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a jayyid isnaad from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr that he (Rady'Allahu anhu) said:

‼️“Whoever settles in the land of the non-Arabs and celebrates their new year and festival and imitates them until he dies in that state, will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection.”

[Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah, 1/723-724]

🔥‼️DON'T CELEBRATE PAGAN'S NEW YEAR ‼️

‼️Both these men developed a calendar for their fellow believers, but whose Sunnah are Muslims following by celebrating New Year?

‼️Pope Gregory or Umar bin al-khattab (Rady'Allahu Anhu)???

‼️”New Years” The Festival Of Disbelievers Not Muslims.*

💠Allāh (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says in Qur'ān: والذين لا يشهدون الزور

“And those who do not witness falsehood..” • [al-Qur'ān 25:72]

💥Imam Mujāhid and other than him from the Salaf said that falsehood (Zoor) refers to the festivals of disbelievers.

💥قال عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه : اجتنبوا أعداء الله في عيدهم.

💠‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه said:

🔥“Avoid the enemies of Allāh during their festivals.” and in one narration with addition “.. for the Wrath of Allāh descends upon them during it.”

[تاريخ الكبير للبخاري]


💥قال عبدالله بن عمرو رضي الله عنه : من مر ببلاد الاعاجم فصنع نيروزهم و مهرجانهم و تشبه بهم حتى يموت و هو كذلك حشر معهم يوم القيامة.

‼️‘Abdullāh b. ‘Amr رضي الله عنه said:

💠 “Whoever settles in the land of the non-Arabs and celebrates their new year and festival and imitates them until he dies while he is in that state, will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection.”

[أخرجه البيهقي في الكبرى]

💠Ibn Taymīyyāh رحمه الله said:

“Muslims should not celebrate any festival of the disbelievers.”

‎ [مختصر اقتضها أسصراط المستقيم ١٧-١٨]

‎💠Shaykh-ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
‎
‼️‎“And whosoever inclines towards religious festivals of polythiests and of Jews and Christians then it is a *MUST* that the sanctity of Islamic 'Eīd will *DIMINISH* from his heart.”
‎
‎[إقتضاء الصراط المستقيم ١/٤٨٣]

💥Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) reported to have said:

‼️“He who imitates a people will be from among them (on the Day of Judgement).” [Abu Daawood]

💥And in another narration, he (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said:

‼️“The one who imitates people other than us (i.e., in faith) is not from us. Do not imitate the Jews or the Christians.” [Tirmithi]

💠 Imaam Ahmad (Rahimahu'Allah) said:

‼️"The very least that this Hadeeth entails is the prohibition of imitating them (i.e., the Jews and the Christians); although it is also apparent that the Hadeeth labels the one who does so as a disbeliever (as Allah subhanahu wa taala Says what means):

‼️“O you who have believed! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.”

[Quran C.5: A.51]

‼️Be proud of your religion, because it is the only ONE that is based on sound creed, just legislation and honourable manners.

‼️Do not be deceived by what many people do for they are unaware of the reality of Islam; resist these evil innovations which have conquered our communities by boycotting these celebrations and be as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) Says (what means):

💠“Follow [O Mankind] what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies…” [Quran C.7: A.3]

‼️and do not be as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) Says (what means): “And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.” [Quran C.59: A.19]

💠Rather follow everything from Islam by obeying Allah subhanahu wa taala and his messenger Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa Sallam) that will make you prosper in this life and the Hereafter.💥

🚫🔥STOP WATCHING 31ST NIGHT FIREWORKS

🔥"We only watching the fireworks" Weakest excuse to say the least

💠Allâh سبحانه وتعالى stated: “And those who do not witness falsehood...” [25:72]

🔰Ibn ‘Abbâs, Mujâhid, Abul-‘Âliyah, Tâwûs, Muhammad ibn Sîrîn, ad-Dahhâk, ar-Rabî’ ibn Anas and others mentioned that “falsehood” in the Âyah is referring to the festivals of the Mushrikîn.

[Refer to the Tafsîr of al-Qurtubî, al-Baghawî, and ibn Kathîr]

💢As mature individuals, do you genuinely wish to witness the fireworks? Would you consider refraining from involving your children and family in this experience? Take a stand to shield them from witnessing this falsehood.

🚫Refrain from making excuses, as your participation, whether direct or indirect, aligns with NEW YEAR'S celebrations—a festivity laden with perceived sins, alcohol, immoral behavior, and disobedience to Allah subhanahu wa taala —a celebration contrary to Islamic principles.

‼️just imagine your soul being taken while partaking in this perceived falsehood of watching fireworks tonight.

🔰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,

‼️"Whoever forgets to send blessings upon me, he has missed a path to Paradise."

[Sunan Ibn Mäjah 908]

@AlfurqaN_FoundatioN | #jumuah

🔥❝When sins continue; a blessing at a time disappears, until a person is deprived of all the blessings.❞‼️

[Ibn al-Qayyim, in: طريق الهجرتين]

‼️Avoid committing sins during these months‼️

💢 Firstly:

*️⃣ The month of Rajab is one of the sacred months of which Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says (interpretation of the meaning):

💠 “Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36]

💎 The sacred months are: Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram.

💠 Imam Bukhaari (4662) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah as-siddiq (Rady'Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa Sallam) said:

💢 “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha’baan.

⛔️ These months are called sacred for two reasons:

🅰️ Because fighting therein is forbidden unless initiated by the enemy

🅱️ Because transgression of the sacred limits therein is worse than at other times.

💠 Hence Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has forbidden us to commit sins during these months, as He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says (interpretation of the meaning):

‼️“wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36]

⛔️ Although committing sins is haraam and forbidden during these months and at other times, in these months it is more forbidden.

💠 Al-Sa’di (Rahimahu'Allah) said (p. 373):

*️⃣ In the phrase “wrong not yourselves therein”, the pronoun may be understood as referring to twelve months.

‼️ Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) states that He has made them a measure of time for His slaves, which they may use for worshipping Him, and thank Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) for His blessings, and they serve the interests of His slaves, so beware of wronging yourselves therein.

🔊The pronoun may also be understood as referring to the four sacred months, and this forbids them to wrong themselves in those months in particular, as well as it being forbidden to do wrong at all times, because it is more forbidden at this time, but it is worse at this time than at others.

🔰Whatever we do, let us pray for the insight to recognize our own faults, hypocrisy, and shortcomings. Let’s always keep this in mind—never become so focused on pointing out others’ flaws that we forget we, too, have wounds that need healing.

💠Makhūl رحمه الله said:

💢I saw a man crying during his prayer, so I accused him of showing off, so I was prevented from crying for a year!

[Al-'Uqūbāt: 83]

💠Friday The Day Of Celebration💠

💢The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ❝ Verily, Allah has made this day (of Friday) a celebration for the Muslims. So whoever comes to Friday (prayer), then let him bathe himself, and if he has any perfume let him put some on, and use the toothstick.❞

💠 Ibn al-Qayyim [رحمه الله] said:
❝The Friday prayer is from the greatest of congregations of the Muslims.❞

💢 The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ❝Increase in salutations upon me, on the day of Friday (Jumu'ah) and its night.❞

● [زاد المعاد ٢\٤٢٠]

💠 Prophet ﷺ reported to have said:

💥❝The best of prayers with Allāh is the prayer of morning (Fajr) on the Day of Friday in congregation.❞

💢The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ❝Send prayer upon me abundantly on the day of Jumu’ah (Friday) & on the night of Jumu’ah (Thursday night) for he who sends prayer upon me one time, Allāh sends prayer upon him 10 times.❞

● [صحيح الجامع ١٢٠٩]

💠Prophet ﷺ said: ❝There is such an hour on Friday, that if any Muslim makes Du’ā during it, his Du’ā will be accepted.❞

‎● {صحيح البخاري ٥٢٩٥، صحيح مسلم ٨٥٢}

💢Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early, gets close and listens and is silent, there will be for him in every step he takes, the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer).❞

● {جامع الترمذي ٤٩٦}

💠Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ said: ❝Jummah to Jummah expiates the minor sins in between them except for the major sins.❞

🍃 Part : 9

💥e- Martyrs

💠Martyrs (shuhada) are alive, receiving their provision in the presence of their Lord.[⭕️38]

[⭕️38:- It is obligatory to believe that the marytrs, those who fought the unbelievers and were killed in the way of Allah to elevate the word of Allah, are alive and delighting in the Presence of their Lord because of the privileges they have been granted, one of which is that they will be secure from the Greatest Terror on the Day of Rising. “Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.” [Al-i Imran 3/169]

♨️f- In the grave: the spirits of the fortunate

💢The spirits of the fortunate remain in bliss until the day they are raised again.[⭕️39]

[⭕️39 : - The souls of the fortunate will remain in bliss until the Day of Rising seeing their place in the garden. When one of them dies, he is shown his place in the garden morning and evening.

🔰g- In the grave: the spirits of the miserable

🔥The spirits of the miserable are tormented until the Day of Judgment.[⭕️40]

[⭕️40 : - The souls of the wretched are punished by seeing their place in the fire and other punishments.]

💠h- The questioning in the grave

🔰The believers are tried and questioned in their graves. “Allah makes those who believe firm by giving them firm words in the life of this world and the next world.”[⭕️41]

[⭕️41 : - This refers to the questioning by the two angels in the grave. The dead person will be placed in his grave and people will leave him and then two angels come and sit with him and ask him: “Who is your Lord? What is your din? Who is your Prophet?” The believer will reply: “My Lord is Allah. My din is Islam, My Prophet is Muhammad.” and his grave will be wide for him. When the unbeliever is in the grave and is asked these questions, he will reply: “I do not know.” and so he will be dealt a blow from an iron hammer and will scream so that all creatures except men and jinn will hear him. Also reported is the constriction of the grave, which is the pressing on the sides of the body of the dead person and none is safe from that except the one whom Allah grants an exception -they include Fatima bint Asad, the mother of Ali ibn Abi Talib, because of the blessing of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) going into her grave, and whoever from the Muslims, recites Surat al-Ikhlas in his final illness.]

💥9- The Angels

🔰a- The Recording Angels

💠People have recording angels over them who write down their actions. Nothing people do escapes the knowledge of their Lord.[⭕️42]

[⭕️42 : - Men and jinn, believers and unbelievers, free and slave, have recording angels who write down their actions, even the permissible ones and the groan in illness, and even the actions of the heart, like all the thoughts which occur to it. Allah has given the heart a token by which it can distinguish between the good and bad action. The source for the knowledge of that is the words of Allah (jalla jalaluhu): “Standing over you are guardians, noble, recording. They know everything you do.” (al-Infitar 82/10-12) and the words of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam): “The angels of the day and night succeed one another.” There is consensus on that. none of the actions are hidden from Allah. That is part of the subtlety of Allah regarding His slaves since they know that Allah has recording angels who record their actions and that will prevent them from acts of disobedience and the proof will be established against them when they reject and deny.]

🍃 Part : 10

♨️b- The Angel of Death

🍃The angel of death seizes people's spirits by the permission of his Lord.[⭕️43]

[⭕️43- Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has delegated an angel called the Angel of Death (also known as Azra’il ) to take the spirits of creatures, men, jinn and other birds and all animals who have a spirit. Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says: “Allah takes back all selves at the time of their death.” [az-Zumar 39/42] and He says: “Then when death comes to one of you, Our messengers take him.” [al-Anam 6/61] however the outward appearance differs from this. The action is ascribed to Allah because He is the one who does it in reality, and the attribution of taking the spirits is to the Angel of Death because he does it directly by the permission of Allah. Taking is ascribed to the angels who are messengers because they assist the Angel of Death in taking the spirits.]

💢10- Authorities

💠a- The Best generation

💥The best generation are those who saw RasulAllah, (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and believed in him. Then those who followed them and then those who followed them.[⭕️44]

[⭕️44 - The best generation is those who were alive in the time of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and believed in him, respected and helped and followed the Light which was sent down with him and the suns of his prophethood shone on them and they won and chose the virtue of being a Companion. Their generation is the best generation. This is in accordance with his (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) words: “The best of you is my generation and those who follow them and then those who follow them.”]

🔰b- The best Companions

🍃The best of the Companions (sahabah) are the rightly-guided khalifs. Firstly, Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Uthman (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu).[⭕️45]

[⭕️45- Not all the Companions had the same degree, but they varied in their degrees of excellence. The Rightly-guided Khalifs are the best and in order of excellence they were Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Uthman (Rady'Allahu anhu), then Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu).

💠c- Respect for all the Companions

💢None of the Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) should be mentioned except in the best way and silence should be maintained concerning any disagreements that broke out between them. They are the people who are most worthy of being considered in the best light possible and the people whose opinions should be most respected.[⭕️46]

[⭕️46- One should avoid getting embroiled in the quarrels between them and one must always take the best interpretation in holding an opinion regarding them. They must always be thought about in the best possible light.]

🔰d- Those in authority

🍃Obedience to the leaders of the Muslims, both their rulers and their men of knowledge, is obligatory.[⭕️47]

[⭕️47- It is obligatory to obey the Imams of the Muslims who are in authority who are responsible for the best interests of the Muslims. If they command what is correct, it is obligatory to obey, and if they forbid the reprehensible, it is obligatory to refrain. It is only obligatory to obey the scholars who act by their knowledge and command the correct and forbid the reprehensible and preserve the limits of Allah. The evidence for the obligation is the words of Allah (jalla jalaluhu): “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in command among you.” [an-Nisa 4/58] The one who transgresses is not obeyed because RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) reported to have said: “There is no obedience due to a creature which involves disobedience to the Creator.” [Ahmad; Hakim]

💥e- The Salaf

💢It is also obligatory to follow the Right-acting Companions, to tread in their footsteps and ask forgiveness for them.[⭕️48]
