The virtue of Dhikr!

Some poor people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:

“The wealthy people will get higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment, and they offer prayer like us and observe fast as we do. They have more money by which they perform the Hajj and Umrah, fight and struggle in Allāh's Cause and give in charity.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Shall I not tell you a thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the same.

Say Subhan Allāh, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar 33x each after every (compulsory) prayer.”

📓— [Sahih Bukhari 843 | Sahih Muslim 595 & 1347]

Ibn al-‘Arabī al-Mālikī رَحِمَهُ الله said:

A righteous woman (wife) does not come due to your efforts rather she is a provision (gift) that is handed over to the one who fears his Lord.

📓-[Ahkām al-Qur’ān, 1/536]

[haqqahreminders]

Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) says:

{أَنِ ٱشۡكُرۡ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَيۡكَ}

“give thanks to Me and to your parents.”

[Sūrah luqmān, āyah 14; 31:14]

Sufyān bin ʿuyaynah (رحمه الله) stated:

“Whoever prays the five [obligatory] prayers had indeed given thanks to Allāh, the Most High, and whoever supplicates for this parents at the end of the five prayers has indeed given thanks to his parents.”

And put your trust (O Muhammad ﷺ) in the Ever Living One Who dies not,

Sulaymān Al-Khawwās رحمه الله said:

“It is not befitting for a servant - after [hearing] this āyah - to resort to other than Allāh in his affair!”

Imām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

When (a person) recites the Qur'ān and thinks about what it means, that is from the most powerful of means of holding him back from sins.

The Sound Of The Qur’aan vs The Sound of Music

Ibn al-Qayyim رَحِمَهُ الله said:

The sound of the Qur’aan: soothes souls, gives them tranquillity and causes them to be calm…

The sound of music: causes the souls to become instigated, excited and causes it unease and causes it to become disturbed and agitated.

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Nāṣir al-Siʿdī رَحِمَهُ الله said:

In marriage one feels unparalleled joy. In marriage there is a special type of mercy that you won't find elsewhere.

📓— [Taysir al-Karīm al-Rahman]

[haqqahreminders]

Ibn al-Qayyim رَحِمَهُ الله said:

One of the means of finding tranquillity is to always remember Him (do continuous Dhikr) in all situations and in all places, for Dhikr has an amazing impact in bringing tranquillity and a sense of joy (to the heart), and neglecting it has a great impact in causing a sense of distress, anxiety and pain.

📓-[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Zād al-Ma’aad, 2/22]

[haqqahreminders]

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen رَحِمَهُ الله said:

“‎If you see yourself deteriorate, pick yourself up by repenting and seeking Allāh’s forgiveness and by asking Him to keep you firm.

And don’t become careless, and neither say: “In sha Allāh, my eemaan will become stronger.' (without doing anything about it).

Instead from right now - from the moment you feel that you are ill - you must implement the cure.”

📓-[Tafsir Surah an-Nisaa v.2 p. 53]

[haqqahreminders]

“We often say 'Forgive & Forget' how Yusuf (علیه السلام) & His Beloved Father did.

But we also learnt that his Father asked him to keep his dream secret from the brothers so forgiving or having good intention doesn’t mean that you don’t take a safe side.

Keep the grudges out but never trust whom you know could harm you. Sometimes Keeping distance is wisdom!”

Du’ā that Gets All Prayers Answered

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

The supplication of Dhun-Nun (Prophet Yunus - alayhi salam) when he supplicated, while in the belly of the whale was:

لَا إِلٰهَ إِل��ّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ ، إِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِيْنَ

There is none worthy of worship except You, Glory to You, Indeed, I have been of the transgressors.

So indeed, no Muslim supplicates with it for anything, ever, except Allāh responds to him (answers his supplication).

Marrying the daughters to good looking men!

وَاسْتُحِبَّ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ تَزْوِيجَ ابْنَتِهِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ لَهَا شَابًّا مُسْتَحْسَنَ الصُّورَةِ؛ لِأَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُحِبُّ مَا يُحِبُّ الرَّجُلُ

“And it is recommended for anyone who wants to marry off his daughter, he should see for her a good looking young man; because women also love what the men love (i.e. good looking religious spouse)”

📓—[As-Saffaareeni quoted in his book Ghitha’ Al-Albaab 2/391]

Then As-Saffaareeni attributed to Umar ibn al Khattab رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ that he said:”

لَا تُنْكِحُوا الْمَرْأَةَ الْقَبِيحَ الدَّمِيمَ فَإِنَّهُنَّ يُحْبِبْنَ لِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ مَا تُحِبُّونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ

“Do not make your women marry to the ugly, unsightly man, for they love for themselves what you love for yourselves.”

Always have good thoughts of Allāh سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ | Shaykh Aziz Farhaan Al Anizi حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ

وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُۥ

Ibn Abbās said:

“Allāh will guide his heart to certainty. Therefore, he will know that what reached him would not have missed him and what has missed him would not have reached him.”
