💠Fazr Salat on Friday💠
💎It was narrated by Ibn ‘Umar (Rady'Allahu Anhu): The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said:
💠‼️“The best prayer before Allaah is Fajr prayer on Friday in congregation"‼️
[al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Eemaan]
🌷Sending Salah upon the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihe wa sallam 🌷
💠Sending ṣalāh upon the Prophet ﷺ on Friday is better than on the rest of the days, and its night (Thursday night) is the best of nights. He ﷺ said,
🌷“Among the best of your days is Friday, so frequently send ṣalāh upon me therein.”
الصلاة على النبي ﷺ يوم الجمعة أفضل من بقيّة الأيام، وليلتها أفضل الليالي، قال ﷺ: (إن من أفضل أيامكم يوم الجمعة فأكثروا عليّ من الصلاة فيه)
💠The crown of all adhkār on Friday is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ. Those who mention it the most are those most mentioned in the heavens (by the angels) and those with the most tranquility on earth.
تاج الأذكار يوم الجمعة الصلاة على النبي ﷺ، أكثر الناس لها ذكراً أكثرهم ذكراً في السماء وطمأنينة في الأرض
Sheikh Abdel Aziz AlTarefe (May Allah free him)
💠“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]

🔰The Creed of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241)

⭕️FOOTNOTE :
1️⃣ - The content of the letter is as follows:
💢Qadhi Abu Ya'la Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Khalf al-Farra narrates in Tabaqat (1/342) and Abu al-Faraj Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Ali ibn al-Jawzi al-Hanbali in his book Manaqibu'l-Imam Ahmad (217) and Qadhi Burhan ad-Din Ibrahim ibn Muflih mentioned in his book al-Maqsad al-Arshad that Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Burda'i at-Tamimi* said:
🔰"At the time of the fitnah (trial and tribulations) of Qadr, Rafd, I’tizaal (Mutazilites), Irjaa (whether iman does not increase or decrease) and Khalq al-Qur’an (the Creation of the Qur’an), Imam Abu'l-Hasan Musaddad ibn Masahid ibn Masarbil Asadi Basri (d. 228H) wrote to Ahmad ibn Hanbal to write concerning the issues from the Sunnah of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and to send it to him.
🍃When this letter reached the Imam Ahmad, he said whilst weeping: To Allah we belong and to him is our return, this Basri has spent enough wealth acquiring knowledge, yet the condition of his knowledge is that he could not acquire the Sunnah of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) regarding these issues. Then Imam Ahmad wrote this answer:
💥Bismillahirrahmanirahim; All praise is for Allah who preserved the People of Knowledge of every time who gave da’wah of guidance to the misguided and stopped the destruction. They made the dead, living by the Book of Allah and saved them via the Sunnah of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam maganda). How many of them have they given life to, who the Shayatin had killed, how many misguided have they guided. The result of their striving was a good favour on the Muslims.
♨️These people removed the tahrif (distortion) of the ghaalayn (exaggerators) and the ihtiaal of the mubtalyn who were indulged in innovations and made fitnah’s open and general and they made divisions after divisions upon the Book of Allah. They placed buhtaan’s (great lies) on Allah and raised numerous doubts concerning him. They talked about the Book of Allah without knowledge. We seek refuge in Allah from these misguided sects. May Allah send salutations and mercy upon his Prophet and upon his family.
🔰To proceed; May Allah give us all the ability to achieve His pleasure and protect us from His punishment and that he takes us on the path of those who fear him and who have knowledge about him. I advise you and myself of taqwa, the Sunnah of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and the obligation of the Jamaa’atu'l-Muslimin (believers).
⭕️We know a bad destination of those who oppose it and a good destination of those who act accordingly. This saying of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) has reached us: “Allah enters his slave into Paradise for acting on one Sunnah strictly.” [Kanz al-Ummaal, 1/183]
💥** I command you people, do not give anything precedence over the Qur’an. The Qur’an is the Kalaam (Speech) of Allah and the means by which Allah made His Speech is not created and whatever is the Lawh al-Mahfuz (Preserved Tablet) is also uncreated. Whoever says it is created is a disbeliever and whoever does not regard him as a disbeliever, then he is (also) a disbeliever (after the proof is established).
💢After the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), Prophetic ahadith and the saying of the companions and tabi'in have the next status. Salvation is in the Ittiba (following) and affirmation of the statements of the Anbiya and Rusul. These points have been continuously mentioned by the higher stature of the people of knowledge.

1️⃣ - The content of the letter is as follows:
🚫Beware of the ideas of Jahm Ibn Safwaan for he is a person of Ra'i (opinion, following of baseless opinions and neglecting the guidance of Allah that has come in the Qur'an and the Sunnah) and Kalaam (theological rhetoric) and arguments. As for the Jahmiyyah, then those whom we have met from the people of knowledge are in consensus in saying: The Jahmiyyah are divided into three sects, so a party of them says:
♨️“The Qur'an is the Speech of Allah and it is created.”
♨️The second group says: "the Qur’an is the speech of Allah." and then remains silent whether it is created or uncreated. They are the Waaqafiyyah.
♨️The Third group says their words of recitation of the Qur’an are created.
🔥Then all of these groups are Jahmiyyah, and the scholars are agreed that whoever says this and if does not repent from these sayings, then the slaughtered of his hand will not be halaal and his decisions are not worthy of acceptance, they are disbelievers, and their repentance should be sought, so either they repent or are killed.
💥Iman is compromised of speech and action and there is increase and decrease in it. If you do righteous actions there will be an increase in iman and if you do evil there will be decrease. Is it possible that a man has no iman yet he still remains within Islam, if he repents he will enter into iman and nothing takes one out of Islam except shirk (associating partners with Allah) or he rejects one of the obligations of Allah, then he is a disbeliever. If he abandons an action due to laziness then this condition of his is with Allah (awj) whether He punishes him or whether He forgives him.
🔥Regarding the Mu’tazilah, our scholars are agreed that they are in favour of performing takfir (declaring someone to be a disbeliever or to have gone outside the fold of Islam) on the account of sins. Hence whosoever from amongst the Mu’tazilah is upon this, believes that Adam (alaihe wa sallam) by committing a sin also committed kufr and when the brothers of Yusuf (alaihe wa sallam) lied to their father, they also committed kufr.
🚫The Mu’tazilah are agreed on this aqidah that if one was to steal a grain then he is from the people of Hellfire, his wife will have to leave him. If he has performed Hajj previously he needs to repeat it. The one who says such things has indulged in kufr. The ruling concerning them is that they are not given salaam nor given in marriage, nor their slaughterings be eaten, nor should their testimony be accepted until they repent from their aqidah.
🔥Concerning the Rawaafid, our scholars are agreed, it is their aqidah that Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu) is more virtuous than Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) and the (conversion to) Islam of Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu) was before the (conversion to) Islam of Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu). The individual who is in favour of this has openly refuted the Book and the Sunnah.
💥Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says: “Muhammadu'r-RasulAllah and those who believe are with him…” al-ayah*** In this ayah Allah has preferred Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu) after Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), not Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu).
💠RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) reported to have said: “If I was to take a khalil (friend), I would take Abu Bakr but he is my brother and my companion, and Allah (azza wajal) has taken your companion as a khalil and there is no prophet after me.” [Bukhari; Muslim; Tirmidhi]

🔰Whoever understands that the (conversion to) Islam of Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu) was before the (conversion to) Islam of Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu), he is upon error and mistake because he (Abu Bakr) accepted Islam when he was 35 and at that age Ali was a child of 7 years. The Islamic rulings, shari’ah, punishments and religious obligations were not effective on him.
🍃It is necessary for the Muslim to have iman in the Good and Bad of Qadhaa and Qadar (predestination) and hold the belief that every acceptable and non-acceptable points (the sweet and the bitter) of Qadhaa and Qadar are from Allah. Allah created the Heavens before He created the creation and He did tahliq of those who are worthy of it. Its blessings are everlasting. So whoever thought that anything from Jannah shall come to an end is a disbeliever similarly Allah created Hell and its inheritors. And its punishment is everlasting.
💥Allah will bring groups out of the fire through the intercession of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). The belief should be held of the Seeing of Allah without any obstacle, the speaking of Allah to Musa (alaihe wa sallam)and that He (azza wajal) made Ibrahim (alaihe wa sallam) His khalil (friend).
⚖️ The Mizaan (scale) is true, the Siraat (a bridge over Hell) is true, the Prophets are true, Isa (alaihe wa sallam) is the slave and Messenger of Allah. One should have iman in the Hawd (a water basin or pond; pool), Shafa’ah (intercession), Arsh (throne), Kursi (footstool) and iman in that Malak al-Mawt (the Angel of Death) removes the soul and then they are returned to the bodies in the graves and they are questioned about iman, tawhid and the Messengers. To have iman in Munkar and Nakir and the punishment of the grave, and belief in the blowing of the Sur (Trumpet), and it is a horn that Israfil will blow.
💢Also to have iman that the grave in Madinah, is the grave of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) with him Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu). To have iman in the fact that the hearts of the believers are between the two fingers of ar-Rahman (azza wajal). Dajjaal will descend in the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) without a doubt and Isa son of Maryam shall descend to the Earth and kill him at the Gate of Ludd. The Scholars of Ahlu's-Sunnah, whichever point they reject, they are the rejecters. Beware of innovations.
💥No eye has seen after RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), more virtuous than Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu), nor has any eye has seen after Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu) more virtuous than Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu), nor has any eye seen after Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) better than Uthman (Rady'Allahu anhu).
🔰This is our saying about the three khulafa and we used to say: Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Uthman (Rady'Allahu anhu) and remain silent concerning Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu) until the authenticy of the hadith of Abd-Allah Ibn Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) concerning his virtue became clear to us.
💥All Four Khulafa are Rashidin Mahdiyin (rightly-guided). We testify about the 10, that they are from the people of Paradise, their names are: Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu anhu), Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu), Uthman (Rady'Allahu anhu), Ali (Rady'Allahu anhu), Talhah (Rady'Allahu anhu), Zubair (Rady'Allahu anhu), Sa’d (Rady'Allahu anhu), Sa’id ibn Zayd (Rady'Allahu anhu), Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Awf (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah (Rady'Allahu anhu).

🔰The Creed of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241)
🍃Part : 8
⭕️FOOTNOTE :
1️⃣ - The content of the letter is as follows:
💠According to us performing Rafu'l-Yadain (raising the hands) in prayer is an increase in good deeds, and proclaiming the AmIn out loud at the saying of the Imam: “Wa laa adh-dhaallin.” And praying upon whoever dies of the people of this qiblah and their reckoning is upon Allah (azza wajal), and going out with every leader who goes out in a battle or Hajj, and praying behind every righteous and wicked person the prayer of Jumu'ah and the two ids, and making supplications of righteousness, firmness and rectification should be made for the rulers.
⚔️The sword should not be raised against them (revolt) and war is not fought against them in issues of differing, nor should anyone be forced to say so and so is from the people of paradise, so-and-so is in the Fire. However this can be said about the Asharah Mubasharah, (the ten promised paradise) about whom RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) gave the glad tidings of paradise.
💠Describe Allah (jalla jalaluhu) with that with which He described Himself, and negate from Allah that which He negated from Himself, and avoid debate with the people of desires. And remaining silent about the shortcomings of the Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and mention their virtues and remain silent concerning the disputes that took place between them.
🔰Do not seek advice from the people of innovation concerning the religious affairs, nor travel with them. And for the permissible ni’kah (wedlock) there has to be a Wali (guardian), listeners of the khutbah and two trustworthy witnesses. Mu’tah (temporary marriage) is haraam (unlawful) up until the Day of Judgement. Pray behind every righteous person, even the sinful individual. Pray the funeral prayer of every individual who is from the people of the Qiblah because his affair is with Allah. Obey every Imam and Amir. Participate in Jihaad and Hajj.
💢The takbirs of the funeral prayer are four, and if the Imam says five then you also say five takbirs, as did Ali ibn Abu Talib (Rady'Allahu anhu). It is the saying of Abd-Allah Ibn Mas’ud (Rady'Allahu anhu)
“Pronounce takbir as many times as your Imam pronounces takbir.”
🔰but Shaafi’i has differed with me in this. He says that if the Imam says more than four takbirs then he should supplement the prayer and he has presented to me a hadith with its chain, of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in which he said that He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) prayed upon a funeral and pronounced takbir four times. And in one narration He prayed upon Najaashi pronouncing takbir four times. [Bukhari; Muslim; Malik]
🍃The wiping over the khuffains for the traveler is three days and nights and one day and night for the resident. The supererogatory (night) prayer is two units. There is no prayer before the Id Prayer. Pray two units before sitting down in whatever mosque you enter as tahiyyah al-masjid. The witr is one unit. Saying the Iqaamah is necessary.
💠And love the Ahlu's-Sunnah (People of the Sunnah) for what has come forth from them. I consider the people of Ahlu's-Sunnah much better then Ahlu'l-Ahwaa (the people of desires) whatever their defects. And may Allah cause us and you to die upon Islam and the Sunnah, and may He grant knowledge to us and to you, and guide us to that which He loves and is pleased with.
🔰This is the last of what reached us from that which the Imam wrote to Musaddad, may Allah have mercy on both of them." [Qadhi Abu Ya'la Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Khalf al-Farra, Tabaqat, 1/342; Abu al-Faraj Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Ali ibn al-Jawzi al-Hanbali, Manaqibu'l-Imam Ahmad, 217; Qadhi Burhan ad-Din Ibrahim ibn Muflih, al-Maqsad al-Arshad]

💠Describe Allah (jalla jalaluhu) with that with which He described Himself, and negate from Allah that which He negated from Himself, and avoid debate with the people of desires. And remaining silent about the shortcomings of the Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and mention their virtues and remain silent concerning the disputes that took place between them.
🔰Do not seek advice from the people of innovation concerning the religious affairs, nor travel with them. And for the permissible ni’kah (wedlock) there has to be a Wali (guardian), listeners of the khutbah and two trustworthy witnesses. Mu’tah (temporary marriage) is haraam (unlawful) up until the Day of Judgement. Pray behind every righteous person, even the sinful individual. Pray the funeral prayer of every individual who is from the people of the Qiblah because his affair is with Allah. Obey every Imam and Amir. Participate in Jihaad and Hajj.
💢The takbirs of the funeral prayer are four, and if the Imam says five then you also say five takbirs, as did Ali ibn Abu Talib (Rady'Allahu anhu). It is the saying of Abd-Allah Ibn Mas’ud (Rady'Allahu anhu)
“Pronounce takbir as many times as your Imam pronounces takbir.”
🔰but Shaafi’i has differed with me in this. He says that if the Imam says more than four takbirs then he should supplement the prayer and he has presented to me a hadith with its chain, of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in which he said that He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) prayed upon a funeral and pronounced takbir four times. And in one narration He prayed upon Najaashi pronouncing takbir four times. [Bukhari; Muslim; Malik]
🍃The wiping over the khuffains for the traveler is three days and nights and one day and night for the resident. The supererogatory (night) prayer is two units. There is no prayer before the Id Prayer. Pray two units before sitting down in whatever mosque you enter as tahiyyah al-masjid. The witr is one unit. Saying the Iqaamah is necessary.
💠And love the Ahlu's-Sunnah (People of the Sunnah) for what has come forth from them. I consider the people of Ahlu's-Sunnah much better then Ahlu'l-Ahwaa (the people of desires) whatever their defects. And may Allah cause us and you to die upon Islam and the Sunnah, and may He grant knowledge to us and to you, and guide us to that which He loves and is pleased with.
🔰This is the last of what reached us from that which the Imam wrote to Musaddad, may Allah have mercy on both of them." [Qadhi Abu Ya'la Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Khalf al-Farra, Tabaqat, 1/342; Abu al-Faraj Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Ali ibn al-Jawzi al-Hanbali, Manaqibu'l-Imam Ahmad, 217; Qadhi Burhan ad-Din Ibrahim ibn Muflih, al-Maqsad al-Arshad]
💢After narrating this letter Ibnu'l-Jawzi said: "When Shaykhu'l-Islam Harawi was exiled he left all his books but he took this treatise with him.
It is the saying of Ibn Mandah: Whoever read this advice and acted upon it is worthy of the verse upon him, Inna Abdi Laisa Laka Alayhim Sultaan. And he would often recite this khutbah in the start of his sermons. Hafidh Ibn Qayyim would often begin most of his books with it.” [Ibn al-Jawzi, Manaqib’l-Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, 167-171]
💥Some have challenged the authenticity of attributing this treatise to Imam Ahmad on the grounds that Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Burda'i at-Tamimi is unknown. Shaykhu'l-Islam ibn Taymiyyah has lifted any doubt surrounding its reliability and said:
💢“As for the letter of Ahmad ibn Hanbal to Musaddad ibn Musarhad, it is well known to the People of Hadith and Sunnah from amongst the companions of Ahmad and other than them, they took it with acceptance. And Abu Abd-Allah ibn Battah mentioned it in his book al-Ibaanah and more than one has relied upon it such as Qadhi Abu Ya'la and he wrote it by his own hand.” [Majmu al-Fatawa, 5/375-377; 5/380-396]
💠It was reported from A'ishah (Rady'Allahu anha): “Whoever holds fast to the Sunnah has entered Paradise.” [Daraqutni, al-Afraad]
🍃The rest of the ayah states: “… are severe with the disbelievers, merciful amongst themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, seeking bounty from Allah and His Pleasure. Their mark (of their faith) is in their faces from the traces of prostration. This is their description in the Tawrah, and their description in the Injil is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that he may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness and a great reward.” [al-Fath 48/29]

🔰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]

🍃The fundamental principles of the Sunnah
💥The fundamental principles of the Sunnah with us are:
1️⃣ - Holding fast to what the Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) were upon.
2️⃣ - Taking them (and their way) as a model to be followed.
3️⃣ - The abandonment of innovations and every innovation is misguidance.
4️⃣ - The abandonment of controversies.
5️⃣ - The abandonment of sitting with the people of Ahwaa (desires).
6️⃣ - And the abandonment of quarreling, argumentation and controversy in the religion.
7️⃣ - And the Sunnah with us are the athar (i.e., narrations) of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and the Sunnah explains and clarifies the Qur’an.
8️⃣ - It is the guide to the Qur’an containing evidences and indications as to its meanings and correct interpretations.
9️⃣ - There is no analogical reasoning in the Sunnah and examples or likenesses are not to be made for it.
🔟 - Nor is it grasped and comprehended by the intellects or the desires.
⭕️ 11- Rather it (consists of) following (and depending upon) it and abandoning the hawaa (desire).
⭕️ 12- And it is from the binding and necessary Sunnah, (the Sunnah) which whoever leaves a single matter from it, has not accepted it (in its totality), has not believed in it and is not from its people.
⭕️13- To have faith in Qadar (the Divine pre-decree), both its good and its evil.
⭕️14- To affirm the ahadith related to it and to have faith in them. It is not to he said: ‘Why’ or 'how'? It is (but) attestation (to the truthfulness of such ahadith) and having faith in them.
⭕️15- And whoever does not know the explanation of a hadith and (whose) intellect (does not have the capacity) to make him understand it, then that would be sufficient (i.e., to just merely affirm the ahadith and have faith in them) since (everything from the religion) has been perfected for him. And it is necessary for him to have faith in it and to submit to it, such as the hadith of the truthful, the believed and whatever is similar to it in the matter of al-Qadar.
⭕️16- And also like the ahadith regarding the Ru’yah (the believer’s seeing of Allah in the Hereafter), all of them, even if they disagree with people’s hearing and (even) if the one who is listening to them feels repelled by and is averse to them.
⭕️17- Certainly, it is obligatory upon him to have faith in them and not to reject a single word from them nor from other (such) ahadith, which have been reported by reliable, trustworthy narrators.
⭕️ 18- And that he does not argue with anyone, nor dispute and nor should he learn (about how to make) argumentation (in such matters).
⭕️ 19- For indeed, (indulging in) kalaam (theological rhetoric) in the matter of Qadar, the Ru’yah, the Qur’an and other such issues are among the ways that are detested and which are forbidden.
⭕️ 20- The one who does so, even if he reaches the truth with his words, is not from Ahlu's-Sunnah, until he abandons (using) this mode of argumentation, (and until he) submits and believes in the athar (the prophetic narrations and those of the Companions).

And al-Hakam ibn Ibaan reported it from Ikrimah from Ibn Abbas. Also Ali ibn Zaid reported it from Yusuf ibn Mahraan from Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu).
⭕️27- And the hadith, in our estimation, is to be taken by ala dhahirihi (its apparent meaning), as it has come from RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). And indulging in theological rhetoric with respect to it is an innovation. But we have faith in it as it came, upon its apparent meaning and we do not dispute with anyone regarding it.
⭕️28- And having faith in the balance (the weighing) on the Day of Judgment just as it has come (to us in the hadith): “A Servant will be weighed on the Day of Judgment and he will not be equal in weight to the wing of a fly.”

Its drinking vessels equaling the number of stars in the sky (and this is) in accordance with the narrations that are authentic in this regard, from more than one aspect.
⭕️32- To have faith in the Punishment of the Grave and that this ummah will be put to trial in their graves and will be questioned about iman (and) Islam. About who is his Lord? Who is his Prophet?

(That) it will be ordered for them to be placed in a river by the door of Paradise, as has been reported in the narration, (all of that) however Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) wills and in whatever way Allah wills.

His ummah will come to it (to drink) and its width is equal to the distance traveled in a month. Its drinking vessels equaling the number of stars in the sky (and this is) in accordance with the narrations that are authentic in this regard, from more than one aspect.
⭕️32- To have faith in the Punishment of the Grave and that this ummah will be put to trial in their graves and will be questioned about iman (and) Islam. About who is his Lord? Who is his Prophet?
⭕️33- And that Munkar and Nakir will come to him, (all of that) in whatever way Allah wills and in whatever way He desires. To have faith in that and to attest to its truthfulness.
⭕️34- To have faith in the Intercession of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and (to have faith) that some people will be brought out of the Fire after they have been burnt therein and reduced to charcoal. (That) it will be ordered for them to be placed in a river by the door of Paradise, as has been reported in the narration, (all of that) however Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) wills and in whatever way Allah wills. Indeed, it is to have faith in it and to attest to its truthfulness.
⭕️35- To have faith that the Masihu'd-Dajjal is to come, there being written between his eyes, ‘kafir'. And (to have faith) in the ahadith which have come (to us) regarding him. And to have faith that that will happen.

⭕️36- And (to have faith) that Isa (Ibn Maryam) will descend and will kill him at the gate of Ludd.
⭕️37- And that faith consists of (both) speech and action, it increases and decreases as has been reported in the narration: “The most complete of the believers with respect to faith is the best of them in his manners.”
⭕️38- And whoever abandons the prayer then he has disbelieved. There is nothing from among the actions, the abandonment of which constitutes disbelief except for the prayer. Whoever abandons it is a disbeliever arid Allah (azza wajal) has made killing him permissible.
⭕️39- And the best of this ummah after its Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) is Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Rady'Allahu anhu) then Umar Ibn al-Khattab (Rady'Allahu anhu) then Uthman ibn Affan (Rady'Allahu anhu).
⭕️40- We give precedence to those three just as the Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) gave precedence to them. They (i.e., the Companions) never differed in that.
⭕️41- Then after those three, the five Companions of the shura: Ali ibn Abi Talib (Rady'Allahu anhu), az-Zubair (Rady'Allahu anhu), Talhah (Rady'Allahu anhu), Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Awf (Rady'Allahu anhu) and Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (Rady'Allahu anhu), each of them was fitting and appropriate for khilafah and each of them was an Imam (leader).
⭕️42- In this regard we take the hadith of Ibn Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu ): “We used to consider, while RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) was alive and his companions widespread: Abu Bakr (to be first), then Umar, then Uthman; and then we remained quiet.’
⭕️43- Then after the five companions of the shura are the people who fought in Badr from among the Muhajirun. And then those who fought in Badr from among the Ansar, from among the companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). (Each one’s rank is) according to his migration and precedence (in the religion).
⭕️44- Then the most superior of mankind after these: the companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), the generation in which he was sent. Everyone who accompanied him, whether for a year, a month, a day, an hour or (just merely) saw him, then he is from among his Companions. His companionship is according to the extent to which he accompanied him, (and to the extent to which) he had precedence in being with him, heard from him and looked at him.
⭕️45- So the closest of them in companionship to him are more excellent than the generation, which did not see him, even if they met Allah with all the (good) actions. Despite that, those who accompanied RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), saw him and heard from him (are superior).
⭕️46- And whoever saw him with his eyes, and believed in him, even if for an hour, is more excellent, on account of this companionship (with RasulAllah), than the tabi’in, even if they (i.e., the tabi’in) did every action of goodness.
⭕️47- And hearing and obeying a'immah (the leaders) and the Amiru'l-Mu’minin, whether righteous or sinful, from among those who come into power with the khilafah and with respect to whom the people have agreed and united themselves and are pleased with him.
⭕️48- And also (hearing and obeying the one) who fought against the people with the sword (i.e. conquered them) until he became the khalifah and was named the Amiru'l-Mu‘minin.
⭕️49- Participation in battles along with umara (the leaders), be they righteous or sinful, is an everlasting affair up (i.e., always operative) until the Day of Judgment. It is never to be abandoned. (Likewise) the division of the spoils of war and appointing a'immah (the rulers) to establish the prescribed punishments (hudud) are (both) everlasting. It is not permissible for anyone to rebuke them or to contend with them (i.e. the rulers).

⭕️50- Also, handing over the charity to them (i.e., the rulers) is permissible and always operative (in effect). Whoever gives the charity to them then that will suffice him (i.e., his obligation will have been fulfilled), whether righteous or sinful.
⭕️51- And performing the Jumu’ah prayer behind him (i.e., the ruler) and behind whomever he appoints is (a) permissible and perfect (act) and (consists of) two rak’ahs. Whoever repeats them (after praying behind him) is an innovator, one who abandons the narrations and an opposer of the Sunnah. He receives nothing (of reward) from the excellence of his (attendance of) the Jumu’ah prayer, if he does not accept and hold that prayer is to be observed behind the leaders, whomever they may be, the righteous amongst them and the sinful amongst them.
⭕️52- So the Sunnah is that the prayers two rak’ahs with them. (Whoever repeats them is an innovator) and that he acknowledges that they are perfect and complete, not having any doubt in his heart regarding that.
⭕️53- And whoever revolts against a leader from among the leaders of the Muslims, after the people had agreed upon him and united themselves behind him, after they had affirmed the khilafah for him, in whatever way this khilafah may have been, by their pleasure and acceptance or by (his) force and domination (over them), then this revolter has disobeyed the Muslims, and has contradicted the narrations of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). And if the one who revolted against the ruler died he would have died the death of ignorance.
⭕️54- And the killing of the one in power is not lawful, and nor is it permissible for anyone amongst the people to revolt against him. Whoever does that is an innovator, (and is) upon other than the Sunnah and the (correct) path.
⭕️55- Fighting against the thieves and Khararij (the revolters) is permissible. That is, when they set upon a man with respect to his person and his wealth. It is then permissible for him to fight (and defend) himself and his property and to repel (the thieves and the revolters) from them both (i.e. himself and his property) with everything that is within his capacity.
⭕️56- But it is not permissible for him, when they depart from him or abandon him, that he seeks them (i.e. to find them). Nor should he follow their tracks and this is not (permissible) for anyone other than the Imam (leader) or those charged with authority over the Muslirns.
⭕️57- It is only for him to defend himself in his own place and he should intend, by his striving against them, that he will not kill anyone. But if he kills him whilst defending himself in the battle, then Allah will make the one killed far removed (from Himself and from any goodness). And if he (himself) is killed in that state, whilst he is defending himself and his property, then I hope that it is martyrdom for him, as has occurred in the hadith.
⭕️58- And all of the narrations in this regard have ordered with fighting him but did not order killing him, nor pursuing him and nor finishing him off should he fall to the ground or become wounded.
⭕️59- And if he took him as a captive he should not kill him and should not carry out the prescribed punishment against him, but rather, he should raise his matter to whomever Allah has appointed and given authority so that he may judge in the matter.
⭕️60- And we do not testify for anyone from among the people of the qiblah, on account of an action that he has done, that he is in Paradise or in Hell-Fire. We have hope for the righteous one and we fear for him and we fear for the evil and sinful person and we hope in the mercy of Allah for him.

⭕️62- And whoever meets Him after having had the prescribed punishment meted out to him for that (particular) sin in this world, then that would be its expiation as occurs in the narration from RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
⭕️63- And whoever meets him having persisted upon, and not repented from the sins which necessitate punishment, then his affair is with Allah (jalla jalaluhu) if He wills He will punish Him and if He wills He will forgive him.
⭕️64- And whoever meets Him as a disbeliever, He will punish him and will not forgive him.

⭕️ 69- And hypocrisy; it is disbelief, that a person disbelieves in Allah and worships other than Him (inwardly), (but) he manifests lslam openly such as the hypocrites in the time of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
⭕️70- And his (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) saying: “in whomsoever there are three (characteristics) he is a hypocrite…” is an intensification (in expression) we report it as it has come and we do not explain it. And (likewise) his (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) saying:
🚫“Do not become disbelievers after me, (astray) striking the necks of each other.” And: “When two Muslims meet with their swords then (both) the killer and the killed are in the Fire.” And: “Cursing a Muslim is wickedness and fighting against him is disbelief.” And: “Whoever says to his brother, ‘O Disbeliever!’ then it returns back to one of them.” And: “It is disbelief in Allah, the one who denies his kinship, even if it is insignificant (i.e., remote).” And other ahadith such as these, among those which have been authenticated and preserved.
⭕️71- We submit to it, even if we do not know its explanation. We do not talk about it. We do not argue about it. And we do not explain these ahadith except with the like of what they (i.e., the ahadith) have come with. We do not reject them except with the best amongst them.
⭕️72- And Paradise and Hell-Fire are two created things. They have (already) been created as has come from RasulAllah (in the hadith): “I entered Paradise and I saw a castle…” And: “I saw Hawd (the Pool)...” And: “I looked into Hell-Fire and I saw that most of its inhabitants were women.” And: “I looked into the Fire and I saw such and such…”

‼️A reminder to the negligent among us!
🔊 Let's repent before it is too late and before we come to regret not doing our duty towards Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala).
⚰️For death may come suddenly; Nobody, however, knows what will happen even in the next few hours: at any time one may have an accident, be severely injured, or become disabled. Furthermore, time flies in the countdown to one's own death.
🔰Every day brings that predestined day closer. Death surely eradicates all ambitions, greed and desires for this world. Under the soil, neither possessions nor status prevail. Every possessions with which we are being stingy, including the body, will also vanish and decay in the earth. Whether one is poor or wealthy, beautiful or ugly, one will be wrapped in a simple shroud one day. This is the truth of the life of this world!
‼️ Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) may give respite, but no wrongdoer can escape His punishment. He is the Almighty and the One Who wreaks vengeance. Sin affects both the body and soul, and its consequences may manifest in this world, before the Hereafter.
💠 We should remember the words of our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) concerning the six whom Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) will shade from the heat of the Day of Resurrection in the shade of the Throne:
💥 “… and a young man who grew up worshipping Allah …” [Narrated by al-Bukhari, 660; Muslim, 1031]
💠 We should feel shy before our Lord and feel ashamed when the ummah is being attacked and humiliated by its enemies. The ummah needs young people to lead it out of its crisis in obedience to Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala). We should reflect on the last ayah of the Qur’an to be revealed, and the last command that Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) gave to mankind (interpretation of the meaning):
🔥“And fear the Day when you shall be brought back to Allaah. Then every person shall be paid what he earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly”

💥the Sunnah upon which RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) died
💠Abu'l-Husain Muhammad ibn Abi Ya’la said: al-Mubaarak informed us, saying: Abdu'l-Aziz al-Azji informed us, saying: Abu Bakr al-Mufid narrated to us: Hasan ibn Ismail ar-Rah’iyy narrated to us, saying: Ahmad ibn Hanbal, the Imam of Ahlu's-Sunnah, the one showing patience at the time of severe trial, said to me:
🔰“Ninety men from among the tabi’in, the scholars of the Muslims and of the salaf and fuqaha (the jurists) of the various cities are (unanimously) agreed that the Sunnah upon which RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) died is:
1️⃣- The first: Being pleased and content with the Qada (Ordainment) of Allah (azza wajal) and submitting to His command, having patience upon His ruling, taking that which He has commanded and refraining from that which He has forbidden.
2️⃣- Having faith in Qadar, its good and its evil.
3️⃣- Abandoning quarreling and argumentation in the religion.
4️⃣- Wiping of the khuffs (leather socks).
5️⃣- Participating in jihaad with every khalifah, whether righteous or sinful.
6️⃣- Performing (funeral) prayer over whomever dies from the people of the qiblah.
