The Virtues of Surah al-Asr

 – Shaykh Hammad al-Ansari

TRANSLATOR: Zayd Khālid
SOURCE: Majmū’ at-Tarjumah pg. 490, Dār al-Imām Muslim edition.

Shaykh Ḥammād al-Anṣārī said, 

If a person were to analyse Sūrah al-ʿAṣr, he would increase in certainty that the Qur’ān is the Speech of Allāh, the Most High. This is because there is no one (besides Him) capable of summarising all of virtue in three verses. Imām ash-Shāfiʿī said, “If the people were to contemplate this chapter, it would suffice them.” Sūrah al-ʿAṣr is an explanation of the whole Qur’ān.

How to Conquer a Whole City

How to Conquer a Whole City

‏ Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

” مخالفة الهوى تورث العبد قوة في بدنه وقلبه ولسانه ، وقال بعض السلف:” الغالب لهواه أشد من الذي يفتح المدينة وحده “.

‘Opposing following one’s desires breeds strength into the body of the worshipper, his heart and upon his tongue. Some of the Salaf said: ‘The one who conquers his desires is stronger than the one who single handedly conquers a whole city.’
[Ghithaa al-Albaab by as-Safareeni 2/457]

‏قال الامام ابن القيم :

” مخالفة الهوى تورث العبد قوة في بدنه وقلبه ولسانه ، وقال بعض السلف:” الغالب لهواه أشد من الذي يفتح المدينة وحده “.

THEY WILL BREAK THEIR FAST WITH WHAT ALLĀH HAS PREPARED FOR THEM

 

THEY WILL BREAK THEIR FAST WITH

 WHAT ALLĀH HAS PREPARED FOR THEM

Whoever guards their tongue from filthy speech and false statements, their private parts from what Allāh has forbidden, their hand from engaging in what it is not permitted for it to engage in, their foot from walking towards anything except what is pleasing to Allāh, their hearing from what is forbidden to listen to, their sight from what it is forbidden to look at - and they use their limbs in the obedience of Allāh and in that which is allowed, and they guard them and preserve them until Allāh takes their soul - then they will break their fast with what Allāh has prepared for those who obey Him from eternal bliss and magnificent bounty, which cannot be truly grasped nor elaborated upon.

A SECRET BETWEEN THE SERVANT AND HIS LORD

 

A SECRET BETWEEN 

THE SERVANT AND HIS LORD

Verily, the fasting person can be alone in an uninhabited place and he is able to eat what Allāh has forbidden him from due to the fast, and he does not eat because he knows that he has a Lord Who sees him when alone. Allāh has forbidden him from this and he abandons it, fearing His punishment and desiring His reward. Due to this, Allāh rewards him for his sincerity, and He specifically singles out his fast for Himself from of the other actions. This is why He said: 

"He forsakes his food and his desires for My sake."

Abundance for 4 habits in Ramadan

 

Abundance for 4 habits in Ramadan

Translated By Umm Yahya

Shaykh Uthaymeen -may Allaah have mercy on his soul- said:

“Focus on asking Allaah in abundance for four habits in Ramadan, two which are pleasing to Allaah & two which are a necessity.

As for the two which are pleasing to your Lord:

▪︎The first is the Shahada, La ilaha ilallaah 

▪︎The second is seeking repentance

As for the two which are a necessity, they are asking Allaah for Paradise & seeking refuge in Allaah from the fire.

Make sure that you focus on supplications.’

[Ad-Diyya al-Laamih p.362]

قال #ابن_عثيمين  رحمه الله :

” واستكثروا في شهر رمضان من أربع خصال اثنتان ترضون بهما ربكم واثنتان لا غنى لكم عنهما ..

فأما اللتان ترضون بهما ربكم

الأول : فشهادة أن لا إله إلا الله ..

الثاني : والاستغفار ..

وأما اللتان لا غنى لكم عنهما فتسألون الله الجنة ..

وتستعيذون به من النار  واحرصوا على الدعاء “.
