Much I Do About Nothing

 *Much I Do About Nothing*

-------------------------------------


SEASONAL REMINDER


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


It's sympathetic to allow Debit Alert visit our account of good deeds especially for issues we can avoid easily. This is because, *The only thing that helps on the day if judgement is our own good deeds*. Yes — the rewards that we have earned, by the grace of Allah, through doing righteous deeds in our life, like praying, fasting, giving zakah and charity, being kind to your parents, family, neighbors, etc


So,


If we backbitten or slander, then, it's a *"Debit Alert"* we are allowing to ring bell 🔔 in our account of good deeds. Yes. It's our rewards of good deeds we are dashing out.


Remember,


On the day of judgement, everyone of us will despirately be in need of rewards. And NO one can buy good deeds or rewards on that day, simply because there are none for sale😃. No one will sell you, lend you, or give you *one single good deed or reward* , not even your own mother.


Therefore, 


Speak good and be rewarded, or remain silent and be safe. 📚Evidence: Hadith No 15 of 40 Hadith of an-Nawawi:


عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم قَالَ: "مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاَللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ


Abu Hurayrah (ra), that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: *"Let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day speak good, or keep silent"*


Don't forget that,


Backbitting is 👉 *“To discuss your brother or sister in his/her absent in a way he/she dislikes if heard. even If what you say about him/her is true, it is *backbiting* 📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2589


Obedient Servant Of Allah!


The Prophet (saw) said, "A man will not only lose all rewards for his good deeds, but he will have to bear the sins of his victims, as he has run out of rewards and is now unable to redress his wrongdoing🙆‍♀. Therefore he will become a real bankrupt and a loser, and then will be thrown into Hellfire.


My brother My sister!


Today, many of us dont filter imformation b4 broadcasting.. And we see people mindlessly backbitting & slandering their FELLOW muslims - "see his shoe like harmmer❗She does not have morethan 2 hijjab❗Her husband sent her to her fathers' house last week❗He made money over-night and nobody knows how he made it❗She came to borrow cassava powder from me to cook for her children bcos her husband is broke❗His wife has moved out of his house❗She asked for extra food when she attend my sisters' wedding❗ etc .. Why all these❓


And,


Even listening to backbitting is also a sin😳. Yes. Allah, the Exalted, says:


"And when they hear Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) they withdraw from it.'' 📚(Q28:55)


The Prophet (saw) said: “The listener is one of the two backbiters.”


Therefore,


It is obligatory on the one who hears an individual embarking on backbiting, to forbid him from doing it as long as he does not fear any open harm resulting from that. But if he does fear (harm) from that, then he is obligated to reject the backbiting with his heart and to detach himself from that gathering if he is able to do so. If he has the ability to reject it with his tongue or to cut the backbiting off by changing the topic, then that becomes required of him. And if he does not do that, then he has committed an act of disobedience (i.e. sinned).


But,


If he is forced to stay in that gathering in which backbiting is taking place, and he fears from forbidding it, or he forbids it but it is not accepted from him and he cannot find a way to separate himself from them, then he is prohibited from listening and paying attention to the backbiting. Instead, his way out should be by making remembrance of Allaah (dhikr) with both his tongue and heart.. Or he should think about something else in order to preoccupy himself from having to listen to it.


Allah alone knows best

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 ...

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...

IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE An obligation upon every Muslim

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE* ➖➖➖ *An obligation upon every Muslim* ➖➖➖  Allah ﷻ says  *وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا* _And He taught Adam all the names of everything_ Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species" *ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَـئِكَةِ* _Then He showed them to the angels_ Meaning, the creations. Qatadah رحمه الله said, _"Allah paraded the objects before the angels"_ *فَقَالَ أَنۢبِـُٔونِى بِأَسْمَآءِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ* _And said, "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."_ [2:31] This was said to the Angels who in the previous verse said : *أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَآءَ* _Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood._ [2:30] _ So they the Angels said  *قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِي...
