A Great Benefit | Moderation Is The Key

 ✒ *A Great Benefit | Moderation Is The Key فائدة عظيمة*


The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Indeed everything has a (period of) zeal and for every zeal there is a (period of) weakness so if you see a man upright and moderate then hope for him and if you see him being pointed towards with fingers then do not count him.”


● [رواه الترمذي برقم ٢٤٥٣ ، حسنه الألباني]


al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Mubārakfooree Raḥimahullāh explained it in his Sharḥ beautifully:


“His (Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam)’s saying {Indeed everything has a zeal..} means having interest in something and energy and inclination towards either good or evil {And every zeal has a weakness..} meaning loss of vigor and slackening and settling down {So if you see a man upright and moderate..} means the man with enthusiasm for his deed is moderate and he avoids both extremes i.e going overboard in zeal and being weak in slackening {Then hope for him) meaning hope success for him for it is possible that he will continue being moderate regarding his deeds and the most beloved deeds to Allāh are the continuous ones {And if he is being pointed towards with fingers..} meaning he strives and is excessive in his deeds so he can achieve fame for his worship and asceticism and so people can point towards him {Then do not count him..} i.e then do not count him and consider him from amongst righteous ones for he is a show-off, and he (Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) did not say (regarding the latter one) ‘Do not hope for him’, this is an indication that this one who wishes to be seen has fallen (i.e there is no hope for him) and he is not able to correct of that extremism he has fallen into.”

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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
