A warning from Shaykh Haamid ibn Al Khamis Al Junaibee<br />

<span style="color: #993300; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A questioner from France says: As salaamu alaikum, jazakaAllahu khrain O Shaykh. What is your view concerning the woman who places her picture wearing niqab, even though her face is covered, on the internet forums and other places? Keeping in mind, this is a fitna for the young men. May Allah bless you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Shaykh Haamid ibn Al Khamis Al Junaibee:</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
You know, I don’t know—Subana Allah—some of the women, what do they want from this? What do they want by uploading these pictures, even those who upload their pictures in which they are wearing niqab, or a woman with her face covered, what does she want from this?<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This is not done by someone with insight and wisdom and this is evidence of an ignorant way of thinking. What benefit is gained by uploading a picture of a woman wearing niqab, for example? And the evil is greater if she uploads a picture of herself. It is as though she is saying to them: “Look at me,” whether she is wearing niqab or not; along with the beautification or the eyes and other than that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
I say: My general advice to the women: Fear Allah O women, those who enter the internet forums and internet websites, and the social networking sites such as twitter and the other websites. Fear Allah. Whether addressing the men, or chatting with the men, uploading pictures, and going to great lengths in this matter. This is a great door to evil, the magnitude of it is only known to Allah.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
And Allah knows the situation of these affairs based on these forums and websites, from the abundance of evil that occurs from some of the people due to these affairs; whether it is by the private messages, or by connecting through other means, or by sending emails, or other than that from the means that some men use to catch women.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
And sometimes it occurs between a man who is religiously committed and a woman who is religiously committed. Fear Allah O daughters of the Muslims!!</div>

A woman and a man fell into fornication. Both of them were students of knowledge, both of them were students of knowledge. I know them specifically. We ask Allah for safety and security.</strong></span></div>

Thus beware, beware—may Allah bless you—beware beware! The person must stay far away from the doors of evil and he must make an escape from them; fleeing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Whoever needs to connect with someone, whether it is for marriage, or engagement, the connection should occur from the females, from your family, your relatives, from this method. And do not open this door upon yourself! Because this door is a door of evil, such that if it is open it is not about to close except with great evil. We seek refuge in Allah. We ask Allah for safety and security.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Examples of at-Tabarruj</b></span></u><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br /><span style="background: white;"><b>The first example of at-tabarruj:</b> It is a form of tabarruj if the
Jilbab does not cover and conceal the whole of the woman’s body! It is a form
of at-tabarruj if the Jilbab does not conceal and cover the whole of the woman’s
body!o For the third time and I hope that your hearts are open as well as your ears.
Because some people listen but they do not absorb it with their heart. One of
the forms of at-tabarruj is if the Jilbab does not cover the whole of the woman’s
body! Like if the jilbab it came from the woman’s shoulder that is a form of at-tabarruj!
If the jilbab it comes from the womens shoulder that is a form of tabarruj!
AGAIN! If the jilbab it comes from the shoulder and not from the HEAD that is a
form of at-tabarruj! WHY IS IT TABARRUJ? </span></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;">Because if the jilbab
comes from the shoulder than it contradicts the word 'ALAA. 'Alaa means
that something should start from the highest point that we find in the saying
of Allaah <b>“azaawajal </b></span><b><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">yudneena
AAalayhinna min jal</span><u>a</u>beebihinna</b><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> “ </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">and the women they should drew their cloak over their whole
body '<b>ALAYHINNA</b>. So 'alaa here it
means that the jilbab it should come from should the highest point of the
woman. The highest point of the woman is the HEAD. The shoulders of the woman
is not the highest point of the woman. That is why when the woman she wears the
jilbab from the shoulders it will reveal the shape of the body. Whereas the
legislated jilbab that starts from the head it will conceal ALL OF HER BODY
from the head to the chest and that which is below it because it has come from
the head.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;">So sisters those that are wearing the jilbab from the shoulder what is known as the
shoulder ‘abaa'a then this is a form of tabarruj! And this is an opposition to
the saying of Allaah<b> “</b></span><b><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">yudneena

bodies from the top of their body because 'alaa means it starts from the
highest point. I hope that is clear as the sun in the sky. Because the
prophet sallaahu alayhi wasallam he said: I have left you upon clear
guidance. Its night is like its day. No-one deviates from it expect that
they are destroyed. Sisters it is time, it is time, it is time that
you understand the meaning of at-tabarruj. That you advice those
individuals are falling into at-tabarruj that we learn and teach our
children the meaning of at-tabarruj. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The second type of at-tabaruuj:</span></b><span style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> It is a form of tabarruj if the jilbab
comprises of two pieces; a piece that covers the top of the body and a piece
that covers the bottom of the body. Like someone wearing a long skirt and shirt
and covering her hair. That is tabarruj! That is tabarruj! And the shaykh he
mention because this is in contradiction to what we have mentioned from the
scholars of Islaam that the jilbaab is one piece that covers the whole body.
And the shaykh he said: the wisdom behind preventing this type of garment is to
prevent people from playing with this noble dress. And we see this wisdom
becoming clearly evident in the latter decades. Because when it was said to the
women that there is no specific dress that you have to wear but the most
important thing is that you cover your body everyone understood this how they
wanted to understand it and that is why various types of what they
refer to as 'jilbab' have appeared. Some of them wear jeans and scarf and they
say that is jilbab. Some of them have something covering their hair and
shoulder 'abaa'a and parts of the hair out and they say that is jilbab.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> <b>The third type of at-tabarruj:</b> It is a
form of tabarruj if the jilbab is considered to be ziina (beauty and an
adornment in itself)- it is tabarruj na'am! Those people that are wearing fish
stockings for people to see that is tabarruj! Those people that are wearing
diamonds and rhinestones upon their over garments that is tabarruj! Those
people that have ruffles, they have the audacity to have ruffles on the back of
their over garments like they are going to a bull; that is tabarruj. That is
tabarruj ya sisters!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The wisdom behind the jilbab been legislated
is for the woman to cover her beauty and her adornment from the men who are
strangers. Allaah 'ajaawajal He said: and the believing women they should not expose
and reveal their adornments and their beauty. As we said earlier whether
this is their natural beauty or whether this is something extra like jewellery,
or something they have put upon their clothing. And it is amazing, it is
amazing, amazing some of the nisa- women they know this - they know that the
jilbab should NOT be a source of beauty! The jilbab they know it should be an
adornment its self. However they intentionally wear the jilbab that has been
decorated with embroidery that will attract the attention of men. It is
amazing- it is absolutely amazing- it is absolutely amazing- that maybe
one of the women you find she wears a budge on her khimar- she wears a budge on
her khimar or she wears a flower upon her khimar on her head or she wears some
type of jewellery on her head over the jilbab and the shaykh he said some of
them they wear different colours whether it is a ribbon or flower or whether it
is budge on top of the jilbab on their head like the comb of a rooster. like the comb of a the rooster!- this is from
the strange affairs by Allaah! And this shows the woman that wears these type
of things she does not understand the purpose of the jilbab- she does not
understand the purpose of the jilbab or that she is playing games with her
religion. May Allaah protect any of the sisters from falling into this. Even
though Allaah has commanded the woman to remain in her house so that she can be
more concealed from the eyes of the men as Allaah He said :<b> “and remain in your houses</b>.<b>”</b>
It is understood from this clear text that the more the woman reveals her
adornment and her beauty to strangers then she is further from fulfilling the
requirements of the jilbab and closer to tabarruj. Subhan Allaah.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Sisters, it is tabarruj if the jilbab is it self is
adornment- stay away from those jilbabs that have Muslimah written on the front
of it. Stay away from those jilbabs that's have niqaabi written on the
front of it. Stay away from those jilbabs that have embroidery all up and
down the arm. Stay away from the shoulder jilbabs- stay far away from
them.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Because we do not want you
to fall into tabarruj. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: darkslategrey; font-size: large;"><b>The Advice of Al-Hasan al-Basree to ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdul-‘Azeez</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="266" id="irc_mi" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ9O5BZCO2OHRx_rgRJRYZ7DV9v6tqTUwZKvXhZTXLx5XRoyZ7GlA" style="margin-top: 33px;" width="400" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: darkslateblue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">“Know
that being thoughtful calls to good and acting upon it. And repenting
from and regretting evil, calls to abandoning it. And that which will
perish – even if it is much – does not outweigh that which is
everlasting – even though seeking it is rare. And to endure short-lived
difficulties that are followed by long lasting ease, is better than
hurrying for a short-lived ease that is followed by ever-lasting
hardship.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /><br />So beware of this land (i.e. the Dunyaa – the
worldly life) that is falling down and is misleading and deceiving,
being decorated by its deceit and having deluded [others] by its
delusion, and having killed its people with its hopes. It looks forward
with anticipation towards the one who proposes to it for marriage. Hence
it becomes like the unveiled bride – all the eyes are looking towards
it, and the souls are in love with it, and the hearts are captivated by
it.<br /><br /><br />To the minds that are attached to it, it is faultless,
and to all of its husbands, it is deadly and lethal. For the one who
remains takes no notice of [the fate of the husband] who came before
him, and the last one, is not prevented by what he saw [happen to] the
first one. And the intelligent one no longer takes any benefit from the
numerous trials and tests, and the one who recognizes Allaah and has
complete trust in Him, no longer takes heed when He advises him about it
(i.e. this Dunyaa).<br /><br /><br />So the hearts insist on loving it and
the souls insist on clinging to it, and this is nothing but the
passionate love we have for it. Whoever loves something does not
consider anything else and he dies either desiring it or else he does
obtain it. Hence there are two types of lovers who desire it.<br /><br /><br />The
first is the lover who has obtained it and has been deceived by it, and
through it, he has forgotten his origin and his eventual place of
return. Hence his mind is preoccupied by it and his intellect has been
neglected concerning it, such that his foot slips off it and his death
comes to him as the fastest thing that he has ever experienced. Hence
his remorse and regret becomes immense and his regret shatters him and
his sorrow and grief becomes severe, along with the agony that occupied
him. The agony of Death, which agonizes him, combines with the regret of
Death, which torments him. And what has afflicted him cannot be
described.<br /><br /><br />As for the other lover who died before obtaining
what he wanted from it, then he died with his misfortunes and grief and
he did not obtain what he tried to get from it. And his soul did not
have any relief from fatigue and distress. <br /><br />Both of these types of lovers have died with no provision (for the Hereafter) and they have reached an evil place of rest.<br />So
be vigilant and totally on your guard, for indeed it (the Dunyaa) is
like a snake – it is soft to touch, but its poison is deadly and fatal.<br /><br /><br />So
abandon those things in it that dazzle you, because only a little of it
will accompany you [in the grave]. And do not burden yourself with its
worries, since you have seen with your own eyes its misfortunes and
calamities, and you know for certain the grief encountered when
separating from it. And tightly fasten whatever has become distressing
in it, in order to make it easy and comfortable when it befalls you. And
be the happiest person concerning your present status in it, and be
most wary about what you want further from it (i.e. higher positions,
more wealth, etc.). For indeed whenever a companion of the worldly life
(Dunyaa) trusts one of its pleasures, it dispatches to him something
despised from itself. And when such a companion obtains something from
the Dunyaa, he slips up on it, twisting his foot and so he falls over as
a result of it.<br /><br /><br />Anything of the Dunyaa that makes one happy,
is only a deception, and whatever of it is beneficial [today], is
harmful the next day. And any ease in it is connected to trials and
misfortunes, and anything that remains in it will be made to perish. Its
joys are mixed with grief and the last years of one’s life in it are
full of weakness and frailness. So adopt the attitude towards it of
someone who abstains from it and separates himself from it. And do not
have the attitude of someone who is its lover and shows tender affection
for it. <br /><br />Know that it eliminates the one who lived and resided
in it and that it inflicts suffering upon the one who had faith in it
and was dazzled by it. Whatever departs from it, will not return and so
it slips away. And whatever is to come in it is not made known, such
that one could expect it.<br /><br /><br />Be cautious of it! For indeed its
claims are lies and its expectations are deceptions. Its life is full of
hard work and its happiness is murky and full of grief. And you are
upon danger with respect to the Dunyaa. Either there is a blessing in
it, which is soon to perish, or else there is an affliction in it that
is descending. Either there is a calamity that will cause pain or there
is a lethal decisive death.<br /><br /><br />If only the companion of the
Dunyaa had realized it, he would have seen that life had been hard and
difficult on him, and that he was upon danger with respect to any of its
graces, and that he was wary and cautious with respect to the needs he
had, and that he was certain of death. So even if the Creator, the Most
High, had not informed anything about [the ills of] the Dunyaa, nor had
expounded any examples about it, nor had ordered us to abstain from it,
then the Dunyaa itself should be enough to warn even the one who is
asleep and would arouse even the one who is negligent and indifferent.<br /><br /><br />And
how much more so is this when there came from Allaah, the Most High,
one who alerted and deterred the people from it and who warned and
admonished concerning it?! So it is of no worth to Allaah, not even
being worth the equivalent of an insignificant weight to Allaah, the
Most High. Not even being worth the measure of a small pebble to Him,
the Most High. Not even the measure of a single grain of soil. And there
is no created thing that I know of, which is more hateful to Him than
this Dunyaa, and He has not looked at it ever since creating it, out of
hatred for it.<br /><br /><br />And the Dunyaa had been laid before our
Prophet (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) with all its keys and treasures,
but he was not in need of any of that – to him it was not even worth the
equivalent of a mosquito’s wing. So he scorned accepting it. And the
thing that prevented him from accepting it – and indeed Allaah is not in
need of anything – was nothing but the knowledge he had – that whenever
Allaah hates something, then he too should hate it. And whenever Allaah
considers something to be insignificant, then he too should consider it
to be insignificant. And whenever Allaah leaves something, then he too
should leave it. If he (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) had accepted it,
then that acceptance would be a proof that he had love for it. But he
hated to love that which his Creator hated, and he hated to elevate that
which his King had put down.<br /><br /><br />And if the only thing that He
used to demonstrate to him the insignificance of his Dunyaa was that
Allaah despised it so much that He disdained to make its wealth a reward
for the obedient people and make its problems a punishment for the
disobedient people. Rather He took any reward for being obedient to Him
out of it, and removed the punishment for being disobedient to Him from
it.<br /><br /><br />And perhaps the evil of this Dunyaa will be demonstrated
to you by the fact that Allaah, the Most High, concealed it from His
Prophets and loved ones, as a test. While He exposed it to others, so
that they should be mislead and fooled.<br /><br /><br />The one who is
deceived and tempted by it thinks he is just being generous to himself
by indulging in it. But he has forgotten what Muhammad the Mustafaa
(salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) used to do, and also what Moosaa (‘alayhis
salaam) – who Allaah chose to have a direct private conversation with –
used to do.<br /><br /><br />So as for Muhammad (salAllaahu ‘alayhi
wasallam), then he used to have to fasten a rock to his stomach, because
he used to get so hungry.<br /><br /><br />And as for Moosaa (‘alayhis
salaam) then the green colour of the vegetables he had eaten would be
seen under the skin over his stomach, because he used to be so thin and
emaciated. And on the day when he sought shelter in the shade, he only
asked Allaah for food that would simply satisfy his hunger. (Refer to
al-Qasas 28:24)<br /><br /><br />And narrations have come to us concerning Moosaa, that Allaah, the Most High, revealed to him, saying:<br /><br /><br />O
Moosaa! If you see poverty approaching, then say, ‘Welcome, O sign that
distinguishes the righteous people.’ And when you see that wealth and
riches have been put forward, then say, ‘Sins – its punishment has been
brought forward.’<br /><br /><br />And if you want a third example, consider
the ‘Soul created by Allaah’, the one created by His Word (Kalimah)
[i.e. ‘Eesaa (‘alayhis salaam)], and there is something quite marvelous
concerning his condition. He used to say, “Hunger is my condiment. My
distinguishing sign is fear. My clothes are made of wool. My riding
beast is my feet. My lamp during the night is the moon and my [only]
source of heat in the winter is the sun. The fruits I eat and the
sustenance I have are from what grew on the earth for the beasts of prey
and for the cattle. I spend the night possessing nothing – but no one
is wealthier than I am.”<br /><br />And if you want a fourth example,
consider Sulaymaan ibn Daawood (‘alayhimaas salaam), because his
situation was no less marvelous than the others. He would eat bread made
from barley that was in his private property, and he would feed his
family with bran bread, while feeding the people with bread made of
white flour. When night fell, he would wear clothes made of coarse wool,
and he would not spend anything, instead spending the night weeping
until he entered upon the morning. He would eat course, rough types of
food and would clothe himself with bristly, hairy clothes.<br /><br /><br />All
of these hated what Allaah hated, and they considered worthless
whatever Allaah, the Most High, considered worthless, and they abstained
from the matters that should be abstained from.<br /><br /><br />Then the
righteous people followed their Manhaj, and took hold of their way of
life, imposing, as a duty, that they should work hard and weep, and that
they displayed a good manner to being thoughtful. They had patience for
the short period [of their lives], refraining from the pleasures of the
vanities that would end up passing away. They looked towards the end of
the Dunyaa and not its beginning. And they looked towards the upshot of
its bitterness and not to the temporal existence of its sweetness. <br /><br /><br />Then
they made patience a duty upon themselves and gave it [i.e. the Dunyaa]
a station that was equivalent to that of a rotting carcass, which was
not lawful to eat from, except in the case of necessity. So they ate
from it to an extent that would restore their fitness and preserve their
souls and give strength for the day. And they gave it a station that
was equivalent to a corpse that had an intensely foul stench, such that
anyone who passed by it would be seized by this smell, and so they would
eat from it only when they really had to, due to extremely difficult
circumstances. And they would finish eating from it once they had
satisfied their immediate appetite, because its stench [would prevent
them from eating more]. Hence the Dunyaa was chained up from them and
this was its station in their eyes. So they would be amazed at the one
who [indulged in the Dunyaa], eating his fill from it, wildly reveling
in it. They would say to themselves, “Have you not seen those who are
not afraid of what they eat?! Have they not noticed its foul stench?!"<br /><br /><br />By
Allaah, my brother, the Dunyaa is, in the end and with respect to the
life to come, more foul smelling than a firm compact corpse. However,
there are people who are impatient when it comes to restraining
themselves, so they do not notice the stench. And indeed the one who is
brought up in the smell of something rotten and terrifying, does not
notice the stench that harms others who pass by or sit next to it.<br /><br /><br />And
perhaps it is sufficient for the one who is intelligent about the
Dunyaa, [to know] that he who dies while leaving lots of wealth, [would
then not care what he had used to be in the Dunyaa], and would have been
happy whether he was poor and lowly. Or if he was elevated and noble,
he would have been happy if he was ignoble in it. Or if he was free from
any harm, he would have been happy if he had suffered in it or if he
had been subjugated and he would have been happy if he had been of its
common people.<br /><br /><br />And if you were to withdraw from the Dunyaa,
then you would be happy to be the most humble of all the people, being
poorer than anyone else. Is not this [enough of] an indication of its
vile and contemptible condition, for the one who understands its true
state?<br /><br />By Allaah, if this Dunyaa were such that whoever wanted
something from it found it by his side without having to ask for it or
exert himself in obtaining it – however, whenever he would take
something from it, the rights of Allaah would be obligatory on him
concerning it, and He would ask him about it, and would bring him for
Reckoning – then it would be proper for this intelligent person to take
only that which he is able to, and which is sufficient for him, being
cautious of what he asked for, and having an aversion for the severity
of the reckoning [associated with it].<br /><br /><br />And when you consider
it, then the Dunyaa is nothing more than three days: the day that has
passed by and so there is no hope in it. The day you are living in, and
so it is proper that you should make the most of it. And the day that is
to come, concerning which you have no knowledge of whether or not you
will be of its people. And you do not know if perhaps you will die
before reaching it.<br /><br /><br />So concerning yesterday, it gives you
wisdom and you are educated by it. And as for today, then it is a friend
that is bidding you farewell. However, although yesterday has made you
sad because it has passed away, it still leaves its wisdom in your
hands. And even though you had neglected it, the day after it came as a
replacement for you. And this following day was absent from you for a
long time, while now it is quickly journeying away from you.<br /><br /><br />Also
there is tomorrow – its hopes are in your hands – so take to relying on
doing [good] deeds, and abandon the deception that is connected with
the hopes, before your appointed time arrives. And beware of entering
upon a day, having tomorrow or other future days as your main concern
and worry. [If you do so] you will increase in anxiety and difficulty,
and you will wish to collect during your day what will suffice you for
several days. How stupid! One ends up being preoccupied, one’s grief
gets worse and one’s toil and labour becomes great. And the slave ends
up neglecting doing [good] deeds as a result of these hopes [he has in
tomorrow and the future days].<br /><br /><br />If you were to remove the
hopes you have in tomorrow from being in front of you, then you would
make your actions in this present day better and good; and you would
confine yourself to the problems and concerns related to this present
day. On the other hand, the hopes you have in tomorrow would call you to
neglect [those good deeds] and to be excessive in demanding and asking.<br /><br /><br />If
you wish, and if you allow yourself, then I will describe the Dunyaa as
being one hour between two other hours – the one that has gone past and
the one that is to come, and you are in the hour that is in between. <br /><br /><br />So
as for the hour that has passed and the hour that remains, then you do
not find any enjoyment in its comforts and you do not find any agony
from its trials. And the Dunyaa is nothing but the present hour you are
in, and it has deceived you away from Paradise and has induced you
towards the Fire.<br /><br /><br />And if you realized, the [present] day is
nothing but a guest that has come to you but is about to depart. So if
you had offered good when he visited, and given him a hospitable
reception, then he would be a witness for you and would praise you for
that good treatment – and he would be correct in that praise. While if
you gave him an evil reception and did not offer him any good, then he
would wage war against you.<br /><br /><br />These are two days, which are
like brothers. One of them comes to you, and then you treat him badly
and you do not offer him a good reception concerning what is between you
and him. Then the other one comes to you after the first, saying,
“Indeed I have come to you after my brother, so if you offer me
goodness, it will wipe out the evil you did to my brother, and he will
forgive you for what you did. So beware when I descend upon you and come
to you after my brother has left.” Hence if you had sense, you should
win over his successor and make up for what you have neglected and
ruined. But if you treat the latter one just as you treated the former
one, then how likely it is that you will be destroyed by their testimony
against you.<br /><br /><br />Indeed whatever of your life remains is
priceless and has nothing equal to it. So if all of the Dunyaa were
gathered together, it would not be worth the same as a single day that
remained in the life of any of you. Do not sell the present day or make
it equal to anything from the Dunyaa, for any price at all. Do not let
it be the case that a dead and buried person gives greater respect and
value to what you have in your hands and is in your possession. For upon
my life, if it were said to the person buried in his grave, “Here is
the worldly life from its beginning to its end, you can have it all to
give to your children after you, so that they can enjoy its delights
after you – since you had no concern besides them – would this be more
beloved to you, or that you be given a single day from it and be left to
work for your own benefit?” Then he would certainly choose this (latter
choice) – he would not be offered anything except that he would choose
the day over it, out of desire for it and his great respect for its
importance.<br /><br /><br />Indeed, if he were offered for himself a single
hour from it, then he would still prefer that over many times what I
described being given to anyone else. Indeed if his choice were either
restricted to a single word which he could say such that it should be
written down for him or whatever I have described to you many times its
like – then he would prefer the single word over all of that.<br /><br /><br />Look
furtively at the present day for your own self, and attach a greater
importance to every word you say, and beware of the grief experiences
when the agony [of Death] descends. And do not feel secure that
everything you say will be a proof for you [as much of what you say may
be a proof against you]. May Allaah benefit us and you with admonition,
and may He provide us and you with the best final outcome.</span> <br />

<b><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From the words of Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimullah):</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
"...And
the worshipper - the more humble, needy, and subdued he is before Allah
- the closer he will be to Him, and the dearer he will be to Him, and
the greater in status he will be to Him. So, the happiest of the
Creation is the one who is greatest in servitude to Allah.<br /><br />As for
the Creation, as it is said: be in need of whoever you wish, and you
will be his prisoner; be sufficient from whoever you wish, and you will
be his adversary; be kind to whoever you wish, and you will be his
authority...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />So, the greatest in status and honor the slave is
with others is when he is not in need of them in any way, shape, or
form. If you are good to others while not
being in need of them, you will be greater in their eyes. When you are
in need of them - even if for a sip of water - your status is reduced in
their eyes in accordance with what it is you need from them. And this
is from the Wisdom and Mercy of Allah, in order that the Religion all be
for Allah, and that nothing be associated with Him.<br /><br />Because of
this, when Hatim al-Asamm was asked: 'With what can one protect himself
from people?' he answered: "That you freely give them from what you
have, and that you are cold and indifferent towards what they have."
However, if you are in a position to be compensated from them, and they
are also in need of something from you, and the needs of the two sides
become equal, you become like two merchants, none of whom has any virtue
over the other. If they are the more needy side, that is when they will
become subdued.<br /><br />So, with the Exalted Lord, the most generous you are to Him is when you are most in need
of Him. With the Creation, the most insignificant you are to them is when you are most in need of them..."<br /><br />['Majmu' al-Fatawa'; 1/67]</span>Black Pearl Of Sunnahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15060875401315985754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907291175492484758.post-27257994044169791272013-01-19T17:09:00.003+00:002013-02-14T17:07:02.665+00:00The correct way to recite in your prayers (Salah) and in morning and evening supplications<h2>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Shaykh Muhammad bin Umar Bazmool says speaking about the correct way in which one should recite silently:</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">‘One must be aware concerning the conditions of reciting audibly and silently, the way in which some people pray with their lips closed and not moving their tongue until they complete their prayer. They do not move their tongues to recite whilst standing in their prayer. Although they are meant to be reciting but yet they do not move their tongues in remembrance, niether whilst in <i>Ruku</i> (bowing) or while standing up from it, nor in <i>Sajood</i> (prostration) or as they come up from <i>Sajood</i> or while they sit in the <i>Tashahood</i> (sitting at the end of the prayer).</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So we say that those people who pray like this, in fact <b>their prayer is nullified</b> because they <b>have not recited</b> in their prayer.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 24px;">This is because the tongue must move in recitation, and according to some of the Scholars (<i>Fuqaha</i>) it is necessary to move the tongue in the silent prayers and you must be able to hear yourself. And this matter is of utmost importance. Many people say: ‘I say my morning and evening supplications regularly and we seek refuge in Allaah yet we still experience afflictions.’ So we say if you recite the morning and evening supplications then it is necessary to move the tongue while reciting them, there is no benefit if you pass your eyes along the lines of the page and to say that this is a silent reading. This is not considered reading or speech in the Arabic tongue. Reading in the Arabic language necessitates movement of the tongue, as is known from the hadeeth which is narrated from the Companions -may Allaah be pleased with them- that they knew when the Messenger </span><i><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15px;">-sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 24px;"> was reciting silently due to the movement of his beard. This illustrates that the Messenger </span><i><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 15px;">-sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-</span></i><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 24px;"></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 24px;">whilst reciting silently would move his lips and tongue. This moving of the tongue is if the person has the capability to move his tongue and that there is nothing to hinder the movement of the tongue.’</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Economica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 18px;">….Beware of doing that which will spoil your deeds, and know that it is showing off that spoils a person’s deeds; and if it is not showing off then it is conceitedness- for you to imagine that you are better than one of your Muslim brothers, when in reality he performs more good deeds than you do; or perhaps he stays further away from that which Allah has prohibited than you do; or perhaps he performs his deeds with purer intention that you do. And even if you are not conceited, beware of developing a love for praise. Be ever so careful not to come to love other people’s praise of your good deeds, or the respect they feel for you and bestow upon you because of your good deeds. And beware of desiring that others should help you in your personal affairs just because they have become impressed by your good deeds. You surely claim (as does everyone else), after all, that you are doing good deeds only for the sake of Allah, well, then turn that claim into reality….</span><br />

He said we must choose companions based upon At-Tawheed. We must choose companions based upon Manhaj, because At-Tawheed and the correct Manhaj (method/methodology) are one. We must choose companions who we see are trying to be obedient to Allah. We must choose companions who remind us of Allah. Companions who remind us of His Messenger Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wa sallam. We must choose companions who aid us in calling to all that which is good and forbidding all that which is evil. We must choose companions who fear Allah.</span></ul>

<a name='more'></a>that we must learn and understand At-Tawheed. We must know who our Lord is. We must learn and study this. We must teach and call others to this.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Shaykhunaa, hafidhahullahu ta’aalaa later advised us to work together sincerely upon At-Tahweed. He said that we must fear Allah, and that we must not differ. Our Aqeedah (belief/creed) is one and we must not separate. He said that we must work together upon Al-Haqq (the truth) and not upon Al-Baatil (falsehood). He said once again we must fear Allah.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This was just some of what shaykhunaa, hafidhahullahu ta’aalaa advised us with. Baaraka Allah feehi wa feekum (may Allah bless him and you all).</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Jazaahu Allahu khayran wa kullanaa (may Allah reward him and all of us with good). Oh Allah, we ask that you give us good in this Dunyaa (this present and temporary life) and good in Al-Aakhirah (the next and everlasting life) and to safeguard us from hell-fire.</div>

and be certain, verifying [a matter] before speaking [about it]. Seek
knowledge before it is sought from you, for indeed a time will come in
which Truth and falsehood resembles each other such that they will
become confused, and in which good is [called] evil and evil is [called]
good. So some of you will end up trying to get close to Allaah with
that which will distance you from Him, showing love for Him with that
which will anger Him. Allaah, the Most High, said:</span></span></span></h4>

“Is he then to whom the evil of
his deeds is made to seem fair to him, so that he considers it as good,
(equal to the one who is rightly guided)? Verily, Allaah leads astray

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">SHAIKH MOHAMMAD BIN ABDUL-WAHHAB AL-BANNA </span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px; line-height: 19px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> رحمه الله تعالى:</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Upon a visit to Makkah for the purpose of performing the ‘umra in approximately the year 2005, we approached the Shaikh whilst he was sitting at his usual location in al-Masjid al-Haram. We proceeded to greet the Shaikh and ask concerning his health and general well-being. The Shaikh had been sitting reciting the Qur’an prior to our arrival, however he had momentarily ceased his recitation to greet us…after a moment or two once the greetings had concluded, and perhaps a short question or two had been asked and answered, the Shaikh turned to us and said [paraphrased];</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Please excuse me, please excuse me but I need to return to the recitation of the Qur’an….I am an old man now….my days are nearing the end, the grave is close….</span></strong><br />
<a name='more'></a><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">please allow me to gather my deeds in this remaining opportunity by way of reciting the Qur’an, for indeed every letter recited is 10 rewards……”</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By Allah, the softness of the voice in which he spoke and the expression upon his face, a man of the Sunnah in his 90′s “requesting” from a group of youth some 60 years younger than him permission to continue reciting the Book of Allah, it was sufficient for every individual to embrace silence and leave the Shaikh in peace to continue upon his worship….whilst at the same time contemplating our own state of affairs in our worship and our shortcomings.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So indeed, the one who wishes to contemplate will certainly find admonishment in the example of one of the slaves of Allah – the noble Shaikh Mohammad bin abdul-Wahhab al-Banna – at an age only years from a century – remaining firm upon his obedience and finding the energy and strength to perform his worship, not desiring that any moment be taken from that time.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Certainly, this is the same as the example of the Salaf us-Salih, for indeed the one who contemplates their biographies recognises the value and importance of time. This religion, is indeed, knowledge and actions.</span></div>

'Umar ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) would say in his sermons, ' O Allaah, protect us with Your preservation and keep us firm on Your command.'</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
A man once said to one of the Salaf, 'May Allaah preserve you,' to which he replied, 'My brother, do not ask that he be preserved, ask instead that his faith be preserved!' What he meant was to stress the importance of supplicating for the preservation of ones religion; this is because worldly preservation could be conferred on both the righteous and the sinner, but Allaah only safeguards the religion of the believer and comes between it and anything that would pollute it via numerous means, some of which the servant is unaware of and yet others he may dislike.</h3>

al-Hasan said, while describing them, 'When the ignoramus looks at them, he thinks them ill, yet far are they from illness!
