FREEDOM SERVITUDE TO ALLAAH (ﷻ)

*SERVITUDE TO ALLAAH (ﷻ)*

➖➖➖


Every human being wants freedom. But freedom in its real sense is based on perception of this world.


Because Allaah (ﷻ) says;


*وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَہُمَا باطِلاً۬‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ‌ۚ فَوَيۡلٌ۬ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ*


_And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Islamic Monotheism) from the Fire!_

(Saad 38: 27)



Nobody wishes to be imprisoned or enslaved but this doesn't imply that we should live without laws and rules. 


Reason: We were created for a purpose 


*Allaah (ﷻ) says:*


*وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ*


_And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me._

(Adh-Dhariyat 51:56)


Our purpose in dunya is not to follow our desires!


Allaah (ﷻ) our Creator has laid down rules for us to live with, and whatever He has declared halaal for us definitely has intense benefits in it and whatever He (ﷻ) says is haraam will definitely harm us.


Knowing this, we can live freely by simply abiding by Allaah (ﷻ)'s rules and abstaining from what he has forbidden to the best of our abilities, because without rules and laws we would all be living like animals.


Alhamdulillah that we are Muslims.


Alhamdulillah that we are privileged to be servants of Allaah (ﷻ).


Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said, _“If a free person says that he is freed from slavery to the creation, then yes he is free from slavery to the creation._


_However, if he intends by this that he is freed from servitude to Allaah (ﷻ), then indeed he has erred in his understanding of servitude and he does not understand the meaning of freedom._


_That is because servitude to other than Allaah (ﷻ) is bondage._


_As for servitude to Allaah (ﷻ), then this is the real freedom because if he does not humble himself to Allaah (ﷻ), he will humble himself to other than Allaah (ﷻ)._


_So he deceives himself when he says that he is free—meaning, he is liberated from obedience to Allaah (ﷻ)”._

*[Excerpt from ‘Al-Manaahiy al-Laf’dhiyyah: page: 117. slightly paraphrased]*


By Allaah (ﷻ), wanting freedom from servitude to Allaah (ﷻ) is a pure deception from Shaytan, the accursed. 


Sadly, people carry this ideology today and even stand and fight for this ideology to be established. 


This is the work of Shaytan


So, we as Muslims should have this basic knowledge at the back of our minds so as not to be swayed by others craving for "freedom" to fulfil their evil desires and inclinations. 


May Allaah (ﷻ) grant us a soul that is pleased in servitude to Him and reward us with Jannah for our patience in this Dunya... Aameen

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
