Begin 'Eīd With Lowering The Gaze

Some of the companions of Sufyān ath-Thawrī said: "We went out with ath-Thawrī on the day of 'Eīd and he said: 'Verily, the first thing we will begin our day with is lowering the gaze."

‎● [التبصرة لابن الجوزي ص ٦١]

Ḥasān Ibn Abī Sinān went out for the 'Eīd and when he returned his wife said to him:

"How many beautiful women did you see today?"

And when she persisted he replied: "I did not look at anything except my thumb from the time I went out until I returned to you!

‎● [التبصرة لابن الجوزي ص ١٠٦، والورع لابن أبي الدنيا ص ٦٣]

✒ Ask Allāh In Comfort Before Discomfort

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said:

“Whoever is pleased that Allāh responds to him during difficulty and grief then let him supplicate (to Allāh) plentifully in ease.”‏

● [سلسة الأحاديث الصحيحة ٢/١٤٢]

يجتهد الناس في حفظ صحة قلوبهم البدنيَّة، فيتوقَّون كلَّ ما يضرُّها، ويغفلون عن حفظ صحَّتها الرُّوحيَّة فلا يتوقَّون مفسدات القلوب، وأعظمها ستةٌ: التعلق بغير الله، والاسترسال في الأمانيِّ، وكثرة الخُلطة والكلام والنوم والطعام، والمؤمن العاقل يتوقَّى هذا وذاك، فاحفظوا قلوبكم منها.

#تغريدات

People strive to preserve the physical health of their hearts, so they avoid everything that harms them, and they neglect to preserve their spiritual health, so they do not avoid the things that corrupt the hearts, the greatest of which are six: attachment to other than Allāh, indulgence in useless thinking, and excessive socializing, talking, sleeping, and eating. The rational believer avoids this, so guard your hearts from them.

قال ابن قدامة في المغني [٧/١] : وسمعتُ من يذكر أن سبب موته " أي الخرقي " أنه أنكر منكرًا بدمشق ؛ فضُرِب ، فكان موته بذلك

Ibn Qudamah said in Al-Mughni [7/1]: I heard someone mentioning that the reason for his death (i.e. Al-Kharqi) was that he spoke against a munkar in Damascus; He was struck, and thus he died.

Al-Imam Khallal [234-311H] (رحمه الله) reported:

Abu Abdillah narrated to us, he said: Waki’ narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Ma’mar, from Ibn Tawus, from his father from Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه): “And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then it is those who are the disbelievers.” [Quran 5:44] He said: “It is kufr (disbelief), but not like the one who disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers.”

Abu Abdillah narrated to us, he said: Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, from ‘Ata [27-115H] (رحمه الله); he said: “Kufr lesser than Kufr, and Thalim (oppression) lesser than thalim, and Fisq (disobedience) less than Fisq (disobedience).”

Abu Abdillah narrated to us, he said: Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Sa’id Al-Makki, from Tawus [12-106H], he said: “It is not kufr that removes one from the religion”

Abu Abdillah narrated to us, he said: Abd Ar-Razzaq narrated to us, he said: Ma’mar narrated to us, from Ibn Tawus, from his father, he said: “Ibn Abbas was asked about His (Allah's) saying: “And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then it is those who are the disbelievers.” [Quran 5:44] He said: “This is kufr.” Ibn Tawus said: “But not like the one who disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers.’”

[As-Sunnah by Khallal 4/158-160]

The first, second and fourth's isnad are all sahih, and the third; its narrators are thiqah (trustworthy)

لا تفرّطوا في صيام الغد وبعد الغد ، الاثنين والثلاثاء ، تاسوعاء وعاشوراء. فهذه من السنن المؤكدة ومن جعلها ثلاثة أيام فإنه يستحب للمؤمن أن يصوم من كل شهر ثلاثة أيام ، ونسأل الله الذي نصر موسى عليه السلام في مثل هذا اليوم أن ينصر المستضعفين في كل مكان.

Do not neglect fasting tomorrow and the day after, Monday and Tuesday, which are Tasu'a and Ashura. These are among the confirmed practices of the Sunnah. For those who fast for three days, it is recommended for the believer to fast three days of each month. We ask Allah, who granted victory to Moses alayhis-salam on such a day, to grant victory to the oppressed everywhere.

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله:

“Knowledge; if a person conveys it to someone, then this is a gift.

Wallahi, it’s from the best of gifts. Better than wealth!”

Do not forget this

The Jews don't want you to:

● Pray 5 times a day
● Read Qur'an
● Live as per sunnah
● Get married before 25
● Have more children

You can defeat Jews just by following the above steps. Easy.

"And al-Masūhī al-Shāfiʿī, may Allah have mercy on him and be pleased with him, mentioned that the early followers of al-Shāfiʿī were strictly adherent to the pure Sunnah. As for the later followers, the majority of them adhered to the Ashʿarī school of thought, among whom were al-Ghazālī, ʾImām al-Ḥaramayn, Abū al-Qāsim Ibn ʿAsākir, Ibn ʿAbd al-Salām, Ibn Daqīq al-ʿĪd, and al-Nawawī." [Kashf al-Ghaṭāʾ ʿan Maḥḍ al-Khaṭāʾ (p. 151)]

Who made Tabdee' of An-Nawawī before you? You are Haddadī for making Tabdee' of An-Nawawī and you went against the scholars!

Is Ibn 'Abd Al-Hādī not a scholar to you?

For those wondering about the reference, it is page 151 of the book that includes three books (مثالب ابن ابي بشر, كشف الغطا, جمع الجويش والدساكر). You will find the PDF here: https://archive.org/details/20220814_matalib-bichr

Some more scholars who called An-Nawawī an Ash'arī:

Ibn Taymīyyah and some of his students: Ibn al-Sarrāj said about Ibn Taymīyyah: "Here he is, along with a group of his arrogant followers, shouting: 'Who is ʾImam al-Ḥaramayn? Who is al-Ghazālī? All of these were philosophers, dogs who obliterated the religion.' This is about the earlier well-known scholars. 'Who is Tāj al-Dīn al-Firkāḥ? Who is Muḥyī al-Dīn al-Nawawī?' This is about the later scholars who were around during our time when we were boys, because they preceded him. He wanted to erase their names and eliminate their virtues so he could take the leadership, like those similar to him." [From Tufāḥ al-Arwāḥ]

A few more (includes scholars and Asha'irah):

Al-Tāj al-Subkī said: "Al-Nawawī was of the Ashʿarī creed." [Qāʿidah fī al-Jarḥ wa al-Taʿdīl (p. 54)]

Al-Sakhāwī said: "I say: al-Yāfiʿī and al-Tāj al-Subkī explicitly stated that he was Ashʿarī." [Al-Manhal al-ʿAḏb al-Rawī (p. 28)]

Zayn al-Dīn al-Manāwī said: "For al-Nawawī was Ashʿarī." [Al-Yawāqīt wa al-Durar Sharḥ Sharḥ Nukhabat al-Fikar (2/381)]. He cited al-Subkī's statement without referencing him and without refuting it, which implies agreement.

Ḥammād al-Anṣārī said: "Al-Nawawī was Ashʿarī, and the reason for this is that he did not engage with the books of the Salaf on creed as much as he engaged in the jurisprudence of branches." [Al-Majmūʿ fī Tarjamah Ḥammād al-Anṣārī (2/750)]

What Is Namīmah [Gossiping] In Islām?

It is a Major Sin. It involves passing talk from one person to another with the intent to corrupt and harm. It also means revealing secrets and sharing things that are not meant to be exposed. See Ihyā’ Ulūm ad-Dīn [3/156]

Hadith: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “No gossiper [nammam] will enter the Garden.” Sahīh Muslim [no. 105].

Harms of gossiping on the community:

- Creates animosity between the Muslims.
- It is a clear sign of cowardice, weakness, and deceit.
- It encourages spying and tracking others' affairs.

Action Plan:

- Do not speak about other people rather focus improving yourself.
- Making the gossiper aware of the dangers of gossiping if in his presence.
- Leave the gatherings and individuals when they start gossiping or backbiting. 

Mindset:

- Focus on yourself and dont busy yourself with the affairs of others.
- Remember that the one who gossips to you, gossips about you.
