[الحكمة_من_الذكر ]

The wisdom behind Dzikir (Remembrance of Allaah)

✍قال الإمام الشيخ ابن عثيمين

    رحمه الله تعالى :

من حكمة الله عز وجل أن جعل لذكره أسبابا حتى يستيقظ الإنسان وينتبه لذكر الله

  لأن الإنسان قد تستولي عليه الغفلة وينسى ذكر الله ، فجعل الله تعالى لذكره أسبابا كثيرة ، لدخول المنزل فيه ذكر والخروج من المنزل فيه ذكر، ولبس الثوب الجديد فيه ذكر ، والأكل فيه ذكر، والتخلي من الأكل فيه ذكر، حتى يكون الانسان دائما على صلة بالله تبارك وتعالى

The Imaam, Sheikh Ibn Al Uthaymeen رحمه الله تعالى said:

"From the wisdom of Allaah, The Mighty and Majestic for making His remembrance factors (to His nearness) to the extent that a person wakes up and (the first thing he does is he) pays attention to the mentioning of Allaah. Since negligence can take hold of a person and he forgets the remembrance of Allaah, thus Allaah, the Most High made so many means for His remembrance: entering the home has a mentioning (of Allaah), leaving the house has a mentioning, wearing a new attire has a mentioning, eating has a mentioning, and finishing up with eating has a mentioning, in other for a person to always have connection with Allaah, The Most High and Blessed be He.

وهذا في الحقيقة يحصل لمن يذكر الله بقلبه ولسانه وجوارحه

فأما الذي يذكر الله باللسان والجوارح دون القلب  فإن هذه الفائدة العظيمة تفوته-أسأل الله تعالى أن ينقذنا وإياكم من الغفلة- .

And this in reality happens to the one who remembers Allaah with his heart, tongue and his body parts.

As for the one who remembers Allaah with his tongue and body parts without the heart, then, this great benefit misses out on him - I ask Allaah, the Most High to save us and you from negligence."

When you ask Allah you are a winner in every situation

Shaykh 'Uthaymeen (رَحِمَهُ الله) said:

"Be aware of the fact that when you ask Allah you are a winner in every situation, because He سُبْحَانَهُ will either give you what you ask for or divert an evil which is greater (than what you asked for) away from you or He will store it away for you as reward on the Day of Resurrection.

So whoever supplicates to Allah then he will not be let down - so supplicate to Him a great deal, and seek forgiveness and turn in repentance to Him a great deal."

[Sharh Riyad as-Salihin | v.6/pg.52]

[insvnitx]

Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

“If a person were to guide you to the road leading to a city you intended to reach, you would consider that a favor they have done for you. So how about the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, who guided you to the path leading to Paradise? It is his right upon you that you send blessings upon him. Peace and blessings be upon him.”

(Fatawa Noor "ala al-Darb, 210/12)

[julaibib]

Shyakh Ibn Al-Uthaymeen (رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ) said:

“Sincere repentance is accepted no matter how grievous the sin.”

[Fataawa Nur'alaa Ad-Darb]

[aysufs]

It is feared for a person that

if he makes a habit in delaying his acts of worship (till the last minute),

then Allah will test him by delaying everything that is good for him.

[Ibn al-‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullah), Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 13/54]

[umtxqwa]

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahillāh):

You getting evil eye does not mean that you are beautiful or rich, (rather it means that you are negligent in the remembrance of Allah).

[al-Fawaaid al-Adheemat al- Adhkaar]

[fluffy-appa]

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said,

“Know that possessing money, owning a fancy house, and having many children may not necessarily make you happy; however, being contented with whatever you have will make you happy, even if you are the poorest person.”

[Sharh Al Kaafiyah Ash Shaafiyah 4/464]

[quranjournals]

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“Strive to distance yourself from anything that brings worry, sorrow, or distress so that you may always remain at ease, with a content and open heart, focused on Allah, His worship, and your worldly and spiritual affairs. If you practice this, you will find relief.

However, if you burden yourself with regret over the past or excessive concern for the future in a way not sanctioned by Islamic teachings, know that you will exhaust yourself and miss out on much goodness.”

(Fath Dhi al-Jalali wal-Ikram 3/533)

[muhtesemz]

Sheikh al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

‘If you are really interested, marry her. Then speak to her as much as you want.’

[Liqa ash-Shahri 28/3]

▪️قال العلامة ابن عثيمين رحمه الله :

 إذا دخلت المسجد يوم الجمعة والمؤذن يؤذن فابدأ بتحية المسجد فور دخولك؛ لأجل أن تتفرغ لاستماع الخطبة .

أما إذا دخلت والمؤذن يؤذن في غير يوم الجمعة فالأصل أن تقف وتتابع المؤذن، وتدعو الدعاء المشهور المعروف بعد الأذان، ثم تشرع في تحية المسجد .

The Scholar Ibn Al Uthaymeen, May Allaah have mercy on him said: 

"When you enter the masjid on Friday (during Jumu'ah) and the Mu'adzhin (the caller to prayer) is calling (the Adzhaan - the call to prayer), begin with the Tahiyatul Masjid (two rak'ats done upon entering into a Masjid as a form of greetings to the masjid) immediately upon entering; in other to be free to begin listening to the Khutbah.

However when you enter on any other day and the Mu'adzhin is calling, the basis is to stand and follow the Mu'adzhin (with responding to the call), and supplicate with the well-known supplication said after Adzhaan, then begin the Tahiyatul Masjid"

Al-Allaamah Ash Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) said:

“Let every single one of us know that there will come a day where we wish that our book of deeds had one extra good deed or one less sin and that day is not far away at all."

[فتاوى سوال على الانف (١-٥١٨)]

[julaibib]

Always keep in mind the fact that Allah wants you to be happy all the time, far from grief.

﷽

Some common questions and answers related to the blessed month Ramadhan as we are approaching this blessed month.

اللهم بلغنا رمضان

(Taken from Ibn uthaymeen, Farhan, Al Alwan, ibn baz, fawzan)

1) Can I brush my teeth while fasting?

You can but one should avoid it because there are possibilities that water or paste may enter your stomach. Recommended is using siwaak (miswak)

2) What are the things that break fast?

Eating, drinking, intentional vomitting, sexual relations, masturbation, pornography, menses.

And no saliva doesn't break you fast even if it's a saliva gathered in your mouth and you swallow it.

3) Does kissing or hugging your wife break your fast (you kissing and hugging your own wife)?

(You) Kissing or hugging your wife doesn't break your fast. There are two opinions if this (kissing, hugging your wife) causes the emission of semen then your fast is invalid and the other opinion says your fast is valid. Better is to avoid it, if you can't control yourself and it may lead you in problems with fast.

4) Do wet dreams break the fast?

No, it does not break the fast as long as it is not deliberate and one should perform the ghusl after this.

5) Does eating or drinking something, while forgetting you are fasting, breaks fast?

No, it doesn't unless it's deliberate

6) When to stop eating during suhoor?

There is a lot of time given by Allah The-Exalted to eat suhoor and one should eat it before the adhaan is given. However if your mouth is filled with food do not spit it and similarly if you are drinking, complete it as the Prophet ﷺ said " if one hears the adhaan while eating the suhoor and the vessel is in his hand let him not put the vessel down unless he fulfills his needs from it"

Note : The hadith says about the vessel being in one's hand and not on the ground, if it's on the ground then one should stop eating.

7) Ruling on intercourse with his wife while fasting?

Sexual Intercourse during the day of Ramadān is among the transgressions against the sanctity of Allâh(وتعالى سبحانه) and it is Harām by the Qur'ān, Sunnâh and Ijmā'. And the person who had intercourse must pay a Kafārah [Expiation], which is to free a Slave, if he's not able to do so, then he must fast 2 months in a row, if he's not able to do so, then he must feed 60 poor people, and the proof for this is what Imām al-Bukhārī(1936) narrates. And this is the ruling regarding the person who knows and did so intentionally according to the correct view among the sayings of the Scholars. Because the one who is Forgetful and Ignorant of the ruling, and the coerced, do not have to

make up a day nor pay the Kafārah [Expiation], since Allâh(وتعالى سبحانه) has raised the blame off this Ummâh and has forgiven mistakes & forgetfulness, Allâh(وتعالى سبحانه) says: {Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or make mistakes} and in Sahīh Muslim(126)

on the authority of 'Abdullâh ibn 'Abbās(عنهما هللا رضي) from the Prophet(وسلم عليه هللا صلى) that he said: Allâh(وتعالى سبحانه) said "I have already done so" [i.e. Forgiven the mistakes of this Ummah]

8) Who is exempted from fasting ?

The sick, the young boy or girl who haven't reached the age of puberty, the women in her menses, postpartum women,the one who has lost his sanity.

The women in her menses and postpartum must make sure to make the fast after ramadhan

9) Ruling on the traveller about fasting?

It is not permissible to break fast if the traveller doesn't leave his inhabitant place. It is permissible to break fast if the travelling distance is 80 km or more.

10) Ruling on a sick person whose illness is terminal

However, if the sick person's illness is terminal, after confirmation from trustworthy doctors, then neither fasting is obligatory for him nor is it mandatory to make it up. Instead, it is upon him to feed a poor person for every day he breaks his fast. The amount due is two combined prophetic handfuls (approximately 1.087kg). This also applies to the elderly man and woman who are unable to fast. They have to feed a poor person two prophetic handfuls of their normal food for each day they do not fast. Fasting is not upon them nor is making it up after Ramaḍān. It is also permissible for them to pay the compensation in one go, for the whole month. This can be done at the beginning, the end, or during the month. It can be given to one person (every day of the month) or more. As for the pregnant and breastfeeding woman, if they find fasting difficult, they are allowed to break their fast and make it up just like the traveler and the sick.

11) Ruling on pregnat/breastfeeding women?

Abdullāh b. ‘Abbās said: "If a pregnant woman fears for herself and a breastfeeding woman fears for her baby in (the fasting days of) Ramaḍān, they both should break their fast and feed a poor person for each day they missed". Reported in at-Ṭabarānī (2758).

12) Does using eye drops, eardrops and nasal drops while fasting breaks the fast?

Using nasal drops nullifies one's fast as nose has a passage where food or water can be transported to the stomach as the Prophet ﷺ taught us as states in Abu dawud (142) and Tirmidhi (887) "Sniff water up into your nostrils thoroughly except while fasting".

Likewise, eye drops and ear drops do not break one's fast according to the most correct of the two opinions of the scholars. If anyone notices the taste of the drops in their throat, it is safer (but not obligatory) to make up that day. This is because they are not primary avenues for eating or drinking.

Likewise, smelling various types of perfumes, colognes, or incense does not break the fast as long as it has not been deliberately inhaled deeply through the nose.

If these drops are used and do not reach the stomach through the nose or throat, it is permissible to use them during the daytime in Ramaḍān. By the will of Allāh (ﷻ), this will not affect the fast.

13) Is it obligatory to break fast with an odd number of dates?

No its neither obligation nor Sunnah to break one's fast with odd number of dates except in Eid Al Fitr as the hadith states the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat odd number of dates before Eid Salah

14) Does Using oral or nasal inhalers out of necessity break one's fast? (Like asthma)

Your fast is valid if you use these out of necessity. Better (if you can) delay it until evening because it's safer.

[Bleeding doesn't break fast unless it's from cupping, menses as mentioned in hadith Abu Dawud 2367]

Similarly backbiting, gossiping, lying doesn't't break fast but Allah won't accept his fast as mentioned in Sahih Bukhari (6057) and the other evil deeds reduces the rewards of fasting that is because fasting is not leaving off food, water, intercource but evil deeds and to teach a man he can abandon sin.

15) When to break fast. Is delay in breaking fast better or hastening it?

Fast should be broken when sunset is established as mentioned in Sahih Bukhari (1954). One should hasten in breaking fast given that sunset has been established as mentioned in Sahih Bukhari 1099 and the Sunnah of Ibn Masud (رضى الله عنه) and as mentioned in Sahih Bukhari (1957) "The People will not Cease to be upon Goodness as long as they hasten to break their fast " it the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Sahaba (sunset should be established is the necessary condition).

The delay in breaking fast is evil and disliked by Allah and Allah has chosen relief and ease for His servant. So do not wait and break fast after praying maghrib as some people still do this out of ignorance rather one should break fast as soon as the sunset is established.

Benefit : Reading the Qur'an is better without reading its meaning in Ramadhan as explained by the scholars and completion of the Qur'an is a blessing from the blessings of Allah.

May Allah help us and guide us to make the most of this Ramadan and may Allah accepts our dua in this blessed month of Ramadan and accept our fast and help us reach this and the next Ramadhan. May Allah make us see the spread of tawhid and shari'ah. May Allah make us among those who complete the Quran in this blessed month of ramadhan. Ameen and Allah knows best. Jazak Allahu Khayr

If I forgot to add any reference feel free to ask.

Shaykh Salih al-Uthaymeen

“Sincere repentance is accepted

no matter how grievous the sin.”

[Fatawaa Nur 'ala Ad-Darb | 98]

[fluffy-appa]

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen, [may Allah have mercy upon him], said:

“Supplicating for the removal of hypocrisy from the heart is among the most virtuous of supplications; for when you ask Allah, the Exalted, to rid your heart of hypocrisy, it is as though you are asking Him, the Almighty the Majestic, to safeguard you from shirk (polytheism).

Hypocrisy is a form of shirk, as mentioned in the hadeeth:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَع��لَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لاَ أَعْلَمُ

‘Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from associating anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which I do unknowingly.’”

YOUR WIFE IS THE MOST DESERVING OF YOUR GOOD BEHAVIOUR

From Abu Hurairah [رضي الله عنه] that Prophet [ﷺ] said:

«إن أكمل المؤمنين إيماناً أحسنهم خُلقاً، وخياركم خياركم لنسائكم.»

❝The most complete of the Believers in their Eemaan are those who have the best manners, and the best of you are those who are best to their women.❞

[collected By Tirmidhi | Ahmad | Sh. Al-Albani: 'Saheeh' In Silsilah Saheehah, (No. 284)]

————————————————

Shaykh Muhammad Bin Salih Al-Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:

❝Regarding the saying of the Prophet [ﷺ]: ‘The best of you…’ This person is the best of the people, he is the best of them to his wife. So if you have any goodness, then make that goodness for the closest of the people to you, and make it so that your wife is the first to benefit from this good.

And this is the opposite of what some people do today, you find that he has bad manners with his wife, and has good behavior with other people, and this is a great mistake.

Your wife has the most right to good behavior, and having the best manners to them, because she is the one who is with you day and night, openly and secretly. If you are afflicted with something she is afflicted along with you, and if your happy, she is happy along with you, if your sad, she is sad along with you, therefore you should make your dealings with her better than your dealings with strangers, so the best of the people are those who are best of them to their wives.

I ask Allaah to complete my Eemaan and that of the Muslims, and that he makes us the best of the slaves of Allaah to our wives and upon those who have a right upon us.❞
