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.

EXCESSIVE UNRESTRAINED GAZE

EXCESSIVE UNRESTRAINED GAZE 

There are three tremendous benefits of great importance in lowering the gaze from looking at unlawful things:

The first benefit: 

The sweetness and delight of faith, which is more pleasing and delicious than what he turned his gaze away from and abandoned for the sake of Allāh. Verily, whoever abandons something for the sake of Allāh, then Allāh will replace with something that is better. 

The second benefit: 

In lowering the gaze is the illumination of the heart and precise intuition. Abu shujā' al-Karamānī said, 

"Whoever establishes his outer form upon the Sunnah and his inner self upon constant consciousness, prevents his soul from lusts, lowers his gaze from forbidden matters and always eats that which is lawful, then his intuition will not fail him."  

The third benefit:  

The strength of the heart, its firmness and courage. So Allāh gives it the authority of insight through its strength and the authority of proof through its light. And the Devil flees from him.'"

Parents Gain from Their Children’s Good Deeds, with or without Their Children Intending That

Parents Gain from Their Children’s Good Deeds, with or without Their Children Intending That

Shaikh Muḥammad Naṣir Al-Dīn Al-Albānī, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

We have a general principle that a child is from his father’s earnings . . . so whatever he does of righteous deeds is recorded for [his parents].¹


[But Intentions Do Increase the Benefit for Parents]

The shaikh, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:


Every deed a righteous child does, there’s a large share in that for [his] father and mother. . . . [O]ne who builds a mosque on behalf of his father, [intending the reward go to him], that will benefit his father more than if he were to build the mosque without having intended [that explicitly] for his father. [So] if he were to build a mosque seeking [only] the Face of Allah [without intending anything for his father], he gets his reward, and his father gets a share of it. But if he were to build a mosque [explicitly] on behalf of his father, then this [latter way] is what’s of greater benefit to his father than the former, and vice-versa.²

Reward For Whoever Drinks From The Water

 

Reward For Whoever Drinks From The Water

From Jabir [رضي الله عنه] that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

‏«من حفر ماء لم تشرب منه كبد حري من جن و لا إنس و لا طائر إلا آجره الله يوم القيامة.»

❝Whoever dug a well for water and no living being from Jinn or human or a bird drinks from it except that Allaah will reward him for it on the Day of Judgement.❞

Deeds which are equal to the Reward of Hajj: GOING TO THE MASJID TO LEARN

  

Deeds which are equal to the Reward of Hajj: GOING TO THE MASJID TO LEARN

Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

From Abu Umamah that The Messenger of Allaah -SallAllaahu alayhi wa Salam- said:

«مَنْ غَدَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ لا يُرِيدُ إِلا أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ خَيْرًا أَوْ يَعْلَمَهُ، كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ حَاجٍّ تَامًّا حِجَّتُهُ»

Whoever went to the Masjid not wanting except to learn goodness or to teach it then he has the reward equal to a person performing Hajj completely.’

[Collected by Tabrani in ‘al-Kabeer’ authenticated by Al-Albaani]

روى أبو أمامة أن رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم   قال: ((من غَدا إِلَى الْمَسْجِد لَا يُرِيد إِلَّا أَن يتَعَلَّم خيرا أَو يُعلمهُ كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجر حَاج تَاما حجَّته))

أخرجه الطبرانى (8/94، رقم 7473) قال الهيثمي (1/123) رجاله موثقون كلهم،  والحاكم (1/169، رقم 311), وأبو نعيم فى الحلية( 6/97 )، وابن عساكر (16/456) . قال الألباني: حسن صحيح .

Leaving things for the sake of Allah

 

Leaving things for the sake of Allah 

From Sha’abee who said:

❝No one leaves a thing in the Dunyaa for the sake of Allaah except that Allaah gives him that which is good for him in the Hereafter.❞

Uthaimeen on Oaths

Uthaimeen on Oaths

Shaikh ’Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, said, “I wish that a person wouldn’t swear by Allaah frequently. If he needs to take an oath let him couple it with [a mention of] Allaah’s Will, saying, ‘By Allaah, inshaa Allaah …’ for in doing so he attains two great benefits. The first is that Allaah will facilitate for him what he took an oath for, and the second is that if he is not able to fulfil it he doesn’t have to carry out an expiation [kaffaarah].”

Why did Allaah specify fasting by saying, ‘Fasting is for Me and I will reward [the fasting person] for it?’

Shaikh Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him was asked, “Why did Allaah, the Most High, specify fasting in His Saying, ‘Fasting is for Me and I will reward [the fasting person] for it?’”  So he replied, “Because the fasting person leaves his food, drink and desires for the Sake of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, in all those places where only his Lord can see him, so Allaah, the Most High, specified it for Himself because of the manifestation of total sincerity in it.”
