"The Prophet has shown the fundamentals and applications of religion, its intent as well as its expression, its (intellectual) knowledge and its action. This fact is the foundation of all fundamental knowledge and belief; and he who most adheres to this foundation is most worthy of the truth - both to
know it and to do it."

asalam alaikum

What could my enemies have done to me? My heaven and paradise is in my heart; wherever I go it accompanies me. My imprisonment is only an opportunity to be alone(in worship); my murder is only a martydom; to exile me from my country is a journey in Allah's path).

Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahima-hullaah) said:


"Indeed the people of Truth and the Sunnah do not follow anyone [unconditionally] except the messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), the one who does not speak from his desires - it is only revelation revealed to him."

Once ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdul ‘Azîz (rahimahullâh) was advised,

“O ‘Umar, beware of being the ally of Allâh in open, while being His enemy in secret. If one’s nature in open and secret do not equate then he is a hypocrite, and the hypocrites occupy the lowest level in Hellfire.”

On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said : One day I was behind the prophet and he said to me: "Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."
narrated by Termithi, who said it is true and fine hadith

It is reported from al-Junaid that he said:

To Allaah belong servants who understand, and when they understand they act and when they act they make (their action) sincere. Their recalling of Ikhlaas at the time of doing righteousness is what accumulates the greatest (good for them).

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَومٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَن يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاء مِّن نِّسَاء عَسَى أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).

"To blindly follow is to make knowledge ineffective. The real function of the intellect is to think, ponder, meditate and dig up hidden points and the significane of ideas. The intellect is a light for the guidance of life; Allah has betowed this light upon every human being. But very few use this, mostly put off this light and walk in darkness."

Some of the Salaf used to say:

"Indeed Allah, the Most High, has made the month of Ramadaan as a competition for His creatures, in which they may race with one another to His pleasure, by obeying Him. Thus, one group comes first and so they prosper and another group comes last and so they fail."

Narrated `Iyaadh bin Himaar (radiyAllaahu `anhu):

Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, 'Allaah, the Most High, has revealed to me that you (people) should be humble, so that no one transgresses another, or boasts to the other'."

Brother, You cant grow a beard You’ll be mocked at and jeered You’ll be looked at as weird You’ll be avoided and feared Says who?
Sister, you cant wear that veil You’ll look like a whale Subjugated to the male In society you will fail Says who?
Brother, go and talk to her She has so much to offer How else will you find a partner? Quick! Get her number! Says who?
Sister, keep your gaze high No need to be shy You gotta find the perfect guy With whom your heart will lie Says who?
Brother, You don’t have to pray The Masjid is too far away It’s for the old guys anyway You’ll get there one day Says who?
Sister, ignore the azaan Your favourite program is on So many prayers have already gone Just forget it and carry on
Says who? To enter hell he will be the first Of creation he is the worst To lead man astray is his thirst He is Shaitaan the cursed
That’s who.

Let us thank ALLAH, For the things that we have, For the caring people around us, For the friends that we have,For the Paryers that are heard, For the prayers that are not, For the wishes which are fulfilled,For the wishes that are not.For He knows what should be given,Ane what should be not. He is aware of everything.Surely, we are not. Some lovely things are lost, Some lovely people are gone, Some dreams are broken, shattered And sometime we're left alone. All of them are countable, All of them are few. His blessings neither countable, Nor are they few, So, why shouldn't we thank HIM? He is kind and merciful. Prostrate to Allah , He knows you better than you.
