The Wicked Plotters Against The Messengers and Their Followers Were Unsuccesful

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَكَذَٲلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا فِى كُلِّ قَرۡيَةٍ أَڪَـٰبِرَ مُجۡرِمِيهَا لِيَمۡڪُرُواْ فِيهَا‌ۖ وَمَا يَمۡڪُرُونَ إِلَّا بِأَنفُسِہِمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

”And thus We have set up in every town the greatest of its criminals to plot therein. But they plot not except against their ownselves, and they perceive (it) not.” [Soorah Al-An’aam: Ayah 123]

[وَكَذَٲلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا فِى كُلِّ قَرۡيَةٍ أَڪَـٰبِرَ مُجۡرِمِيهَا] ”And thus We have set up in every town great ones of its wicked people;” That is those figureheads whose crimes were great and whose transgressions were severe.

[لِيَمۡڪُرُواْ فِيهَا‌ۖ] ”to plot therein” with deceit; calling to the path of shaytaan; waging war against the Messengers and their followers through speech and action.  However, their plots and machinations only backfired on them. That is because they plotted and Allah too was planning, and Allah is the Best of the planners.

Likewise Allaah set up great ones amongst the leaders of guidance and the most virtuous of them, who opposed those criminals; refuted their statements and strove against them in the path of Allaah.  They followed the paths leading to the path (of Allaah) and Allaah aided them. Allaah gave them an acute discernment and kept them steadfast.  So the days of victory and defeat alternated between them and their enemies, until the affair came to its final end—victory and triumph (for the believers) and the good final end is for the Muttaqoon (i.e. the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].

When do we call a person a student of knowledge? [Reminder for those who say: We only invite those who have graduated!]

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Seeking Knowledge.

Question to Shaikh Ubaid Al-Jaabiri (may Allaah preserve him):

When is the (term) Taalib Al-Ilm (Student of knowledge) applied to a person?

Answer:

If a person is known for (his) adherence to the people of knowledge (i.e. the scholars) and taking from them (i.e. seeking knowledge) from them, he is called a student of knowledge. [End of quote]

———————————————————————————————————————–

All praise is due to Allaah. In the West we have been blessed with salafi students of knowledge- graduates from Madeenah University as well as others who have been seeking knowledge from the scholars for many years. They are known to the scholars for their trustworthiness and firmness upon the Manhaj As-Salafi. They are known to Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi, Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari and others (may Allaah preserve them all). In our Maraakiz we invite all the Salafi students of knowledge who are trusted by the scholars, whether they studied under the scholars at Madeenah University or studied under the scholars outside the University. We ask Allaah for Ikhlaas, Thabaat, Sidq and Husnul Khaatimah. Aameen

Types of Envy’ by Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah)

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

The First Type: This type is very little and does not lead the (envier) to harm (others)-either by way of (hatred in) his heart, (speech of the) tongue or (deeds of the) hand; rather the person has some envy in his heart but he only deals with his Muslim brother through what Allaah loves.

The Second Type: The envier desires that the blessing (bestowed on the one he envies) should cease. He hates that Allaah should give blessings to His slaves; rather he (desires) that the envied person should remain in that state (of deprivation)…

The Third Type is Al-Ghibtahl: It is when a person wishes to be like another person without desiring that the blessing possessed by that person should cease. The person who has this type of envy is not blamed; rather this is very similar to praiseworthy competition to excel another in good deeds.

Envy may lead to some of these destructive diseases

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

Imaam Ibn Hibbaan (rahimahullaah) said:

It is incumbent on a sensible person to avoid envy in all circumstances, for indeed the most despicable trait of envy is harbouring displeased against Allaah’s decree and wishing to oppose what Allaah (The Exalted) has decided for His slaves. Then the inner self of person is wrapped up in the (desire) to see a Muslim being deprived of a blessing. The soul of the envious person is never at ease nor does his body relax except when he sees his brother being deprived of a blessing.

An Envious person oppresses him (or herself)

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul.

Al-Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullaah) said:

I have not seen an oppressor who oppresses himself similar to an envious person! He (or she) is always frustrated; permanently sad and upon a distress that never comes to an end.

Mu’aawiyah Bin Abee Sufyan mentions one of the goals of the envious person

Mu’aawiyah Bin Abee Sufyaan (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) said: I am able to please all the people (in what is lawful) except the one who harbours envy towards a blessing (bestowed on a person) because he will never be pleased until that blessing ceases.

Be mindful of envy because it leads to evil consequences!

Written by abumuaawiyah on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Allaah (The Most High) stated:

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ

Say: “I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak,

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

“From the evil of what He has created;

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ

And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away).

وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ

“And from the evil of the witchcrafts when they blow in the knots,

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

“And from the evil of the envier when he envies.

Envy is the most despicable trait. The first deed of disobedience through which Allaah was disobeyed in the heavens was Iblees’s envy towards Aadam and the (first deed of disobedience through which Allaah was disobeyed) in the earth was Qaabil’s envy toward Haabil. [1]
