The Crescent Moon is not an Islamic Symbol Explained by Shaykh Salih Fawzan

The Crescent Moon is not an Islamic Symbol

Explained by Shaykh Salih Fawzan  حفظه الله

Question: May Allah reward you with good and treat you well. Why do the Muslims symbolize the crescent moon on the minarets of their Masjids?

Shaykh Fawzan: This is a custom they have taken and observed it. There is no basis for it from the standpoint of the religion. It is nothing more than a custom.

The Repentance of pharaoh’s Magicians

Allaah (The Most High) said:

 قَالُوا لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَاءَنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالَّذِي فَطَرَنَا ۖ فَاقْضِ مَا أَنتَ قَاضٍ ۖ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِي هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

”They said: “We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come to us, and to Him (Allah) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world.” [Soorah Taha: Ayah: 72]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

And when Eemaan became established in their hearts, they came to know that the punishment of the worldly life is easier than the punishment of the afterlife and less abiding; and that what they are to receive of reward for Eemaan in the afterlife is greater, more beneficial and everlasting.

Becoming preoccupied with the flaws of others

Becoming preoccupied with the flaws of others

 Al-Imām ibn al-Qayyim, [may Allāh have mercy on him], said:

“Blessed is the one whose own shortcomings keep him occupied, preventing him from focusing on the faults of others. Woe to the one who neglects their own flaws and becomes preoccupied with the flaws of others.  

The former is a mark of true happiness, while the latter signifies wretchedness!”

Tareeq al-Hijratayn, 1/172 | Al-Imām ibn al-Qayyim [may Allāh have mercy on him]

Powerful Advice from a Nurturing Scholar: Avoid Anything that Causes Worry, Sadness, & Distress

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“Strive to distance yourself from anything that brings worry, sorrow, or distress so that you may always remain at ease, with a content and open heart, focused on Allah, His worship, and your worldly and spiritual affairs. If you practice this, you will find relief. However, if you burden yourself with regret over the past or excessive concern for the future in a way not sanctioned by Islamic teachings, know that you will exhaust yourself and miss out on much goodness.”

(Fath Dhi al-Jalali wal-Ikram 3/533).

 Our Rights

Ibn Al-Qayyim [رحمه الله] said:

‎«إذا تأملت حال أكثر الناس وجدتهم ينظرون في حقهم على الله وﻻ ينظرون في حق الله عليهم .»

❝When you reflect upon the condition of the majority of the people you find that they look for their right upon Allaah but they do not look for Allaah's right upon them.❞
