the Army of Usāmah

before the prophet ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam passed away, he put an army under the command of usāmah and instructed them to go to the region of shām to engage the romans in battle. the army encamped at an area called al-jurf when the messenger ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam fell ill, and they returned to al-madīnah after his death.

some of the companions advised abū bakr to keep the army in al-madīnah for defense against certain hostile apostates as well as a number of other enemies. but abū bakr said, “I swear by Allah that even if we were attacked by the birds and predatory animals around al-madīnah, or even if dogs came and dragged away the mothers of the believers by their feet, I will not annul what was put in place by the messenger of Allah ṣallá Allahu ʿalayhi wa sallam. I am dispatching the army of usāmah."

shyness

ʿāʾishah said, “whenever I entered the house in which the messenger and my father were buried, I would loosen my garment, and say, ‘the only people here are my husband and father.’ but when ʿumar was buried with them, I swear by Allah that I never entered it again without being fully covered, out of shyness from ʿumar.”

THE BEST WOMAN

The best of women are those who are not heard by men, nor found laughing and joking with men, nor seen by men nor known to men except for her modesty, shyness, piety and knowledge. May Allah make us amongst the best women Via:- اختي بنت الحسن

Many say where are the ‘Ulamaa that speak the truth?

Alhamdulillah as bad as the situation is, this Ummah has righteous ‘Ulamaa but the problem is where those people are looking for them. They are looking for them in the wrong places because they are rejected from satellite channels. They are sidetracked and imprisoned by governments who put them down and crush them and promote other ignorant heads, and unfortunately the masses of the Ummah lost the scale of how to find out the genuine ‘Ulamaa from the fake ones.

اللهم صيباً نافعاً ⛈☔️

[qatalahumullah]

One of my favorites to say, maybe I can forget before drinking/eating to say بسم الله until some seconds or like a minut, but when I'm feeling the rain, feeling the first drop, or seeing the rain, immediately I always remember this du'ā

اللَّهُمَ صَيّباً نَافِعاً

[al-balkaniyyah-deactivated20210]

He is Allah, Yet you do not Love Him?

From the most amazing of matters is that you know Him, yet you do not love Him.

You hear his caller (the Prophet ﷺ) yet you delay in responding to him.

You know the prestige of working for Him, yet you work for those other than Him.

You know the gravity of His Anger, yet you challenge Him.

You taste the harsh reality of disobeying Him, yet you do not seek and long for the delight of obeying Him.

You feel the tightness in your heart when you engage in conversations about other than Him, yet you do not long for the opening of your chest through His Remembrance and having an intimate discourse with Him.

You taste the bitterness of your heart’s attachment to other than Him, yet you do not flee to Him and to the joy of returning to Him.

And it is even more amazing that you know you will never have anyone other than Him, and that you are the most destitute of things to Him, yet you crave and ache for what will take you far away from Him.

Ibn ul-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“All the people went astray during the time of Ahmad bin Hanbal رحمه الله except a few individuals and therefore they were the Jamā'ah (the general group of the Muslims). And all the Judges, the Muftīs, the Khalīfah and his followers were astray and Imām Ahmad alone was the Jamā'ah.”

[A'lām ul-Muwaqqi'īn, 4/399]

“وقد شذّ الناس كلهم زمن أحمد بن حنبل إلا نفراً يسيراً؛ فكانوا هم الجماعة، وكانت القضاة حينئذ والمفتون والخليفة وأتباعه كلهم هم الشاذون، وكان الإمام أحمد وحده هو الجماعة”

‏ابن القيم | أعلام الموقعين ٣٩٩/٤

A note from me: Allah سبحانه وتعالى says fī kitābihi (in His Book) that Ibrāhim عليه السلام was an Ummah all alone by himself. Salaf-us Salīh have stated in a lot of Athar & Riwayāt (narrations) that we shouldn’t be afraid to be alone or few on the right path and that we always will be a minority in all times until The Last Day. That’s the state of Al-Firqat-un-Nājiyah (the successful & saved sect)

You’re Materialistic and you see yourself as Generous,

You’re Foolish and you see yourself as Wise.

Time for you is short, and your expectations are long!❞

Imām Ahmed Ibn Hanbal (رحمه الله) said:

Get closer to Allāh The Exalted by hating the people of Irjā‘ (I.e. the Murji'ah).

(Tabaqāt al-Hanābilah (2/226):

[abuomayrr]

May it be like that again, for our own best until Al-Fattah opens the gates.

[harajukumasked]

Hating sins and sinners is part of our Walā’ & Barā’ by the consensus of Ahlus-Sunnah (as stated by Ibn Taymiyyah), and it’s prescribed to get closer to Allāh by hating sins and being harsh against sinners!

Imām Ahmad was asked, “Was Ibn Abī Thi’b a Qadārī?” So Imām Ahmad replied, “Whoever would strictly emphasise on sins, the people would (loosely and unjustly) say; This person is a Qadārī.”

«قيل للإمام أحمد بن حنبل: » ابن أبي ذئب كان قدريا؟ فقال : الناس كل من شدّد عليهم المعاصي، قالوا : هذا قدري

And Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) mentions in “Minhaj as-Sunnah”, that due to Al-Hasan al-Basrī being very harsh against sinners, he was accused of being a “Qadārī” (a sect which believes their own actions are created — hence the extra cautiousness).

In “Ad-Durar as-Saniyyah” (8/416), Hamad Ibn ‘Atiq says:

“It’s mentioned from ‘Īsā (عليه السلام) that he said; Attain the love of Allāh between you by hating the sinners, and get closer to Allāh by avoiding them, and seek the pleasure of Allāh by drawing your wrath upon them.”

This is a general ruling, and the way of the salaf to boycott sinners and innovators, but it’s also required from us to determine whether there’s a greater benefit in avoiding them or not. However, if we are to advise them, we don’t take them as friends as it’s also mentioned in Ad-Durar as-Saniyyah.

And at the same time, we need to remember that our intention in boycotting any type of innovator or sinner, is to enable them to make Tawbah and return back to Allāh, whether it may be quitting listening to filthy music, engaging in cursed Riba and so forth. And if they make Tawbah, who are we to refuse it when Allāh has accepted it?!

The Barā of the Muwahhid towards Shirk, it’s symbols and the Mushrikīn, Allah ﷻ learns us:

قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِى إِبْرَهِيمَ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِذْ قَالُواْ لِقَوْمِهِمْ إِنَّا بُرَءآؤاْ مِّنْكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَفَرْنَا بِكُمْ وَبَدَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةُ وَالْبَغْضَآءُ أَبَداً حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ (…)

Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrāhīm and those with him, when they said to their people: “Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone (…)”
