Abu Yazeed رحمه الله said :

‎“I continued dragging my soul to Allah whilst it cried, until it finally surrendered itself and came with me to Allah smiling.”

There’s no deity worthy of worship but Allah*

“Allah” comes from the stem word “ilaah” + Alif laam

ال+اله=الله

Roughly translating to “the ilaah” (the worshipped)

In Arabic:

أله، يأله، الها

He worshipped, worships, a worshipped enity

Claiming Allah is One without claiming that He is worthy of worship will not save one from His wrath.

The word ya’lahu (to worship) itself carries many meanings, from them being “turning to” “showing reverence to” “trusting” “relying on” etc, and those are all forms of worship to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala! سبحان الله.

Many of today’s mushrikin believe Allah is One, and that there is none with exactly similar power to Him; yet they still sought others in worship (du’a for example) therefore becoming mushrikin and making Jahannam their eternal abode.

Tawhīd is three parts, two of them lead to the Tawhīd of “worship” or Tawhīd al Uluhiyyah, for the fact that Allah is the Rabb (from tawhīd al rubūbiyyah) and the fact that we acknowledge His names and attributes (asma’ and sifaat) makes Him worthy to he worshipped!

For the Rabb (the sustainer the creator the owner etc etc) and the owner of those great names and attributes with which He showers us in blessings and rules upon us with qist (justice) and Rahma, such entity surely deserves to be worshipped, and this is known by fitra! Therefore, if you acknowledge Tawhid al ruboobiyyah and Tawhid al Asmaa wa al Sifaat you will automatically find yourself leaning towards Allah in worship (towards tawhīd al Uluhiyyah)

And the other way around too, when you say “there’s no deity worthy of worship besides Allah” (tawhīd al Uluhiyyah) you are just with these counted words saying that you also believe in His rubūbiyyah and His asmaa and sifaat (so you’re a believer unless you commit a nullifier) for you would not worship Him unless He were the creator and the sustainer and the most merciful and compassionate etc etc, in easier terms, you would not worship Him if you did not believe in His rubūbiyyah and Asmaa and Sifaat (obviously unless you have a shubha or flawed ta’wil but this isn’t our point here)

What a beautiful word La Ilaha Illa Allah is, the separation between islam and Shirk, and How merciful is Allah that He summarised His entire religion in a sentence of 5 words!

Apa itu Tareem? Tareem itu nama sebuah tempat di Hadramaut, Yamen. Kota sejuta para wali. Medan ILMU Tempat lahirnya pelbagai Ulama'-ulama' hebat berketurunan Rasulullah SAW. Di sana semua wanita yg sudah baligh pasti memakai 'cadar di muka' (Niqab/Burqa) Sangat sukar sekali jumpa wanita di sana. Sungguh lain di Malaysia kalau nampak wanita pun kerjanya sikit-sikit 'selfie' sahaja . Di pasar-pasar tareem pun khusus buat laki-laki sahaja membeli keperluan dapur . Pasar tareem sangat menarik. Lain dari semua tempat. Di sana mereka sambil tunggu pelanggan sambil mengkhatamkan beberapa kali alquran. Jika tiada pelanggan mereka sesama mereka belajar kitab, menyampaikan ilmu di pasar itu. Pasar mereka selalu di pasangkan selawat, qasidah . Kata seorang Ulama' tarim ; Di pasar tareem aku dapati ada 200+ orang Waliyullah (kekasih Allah swt), Jika di pasar tempat yg sebegitu sudah 200+ orang wali apatah lagi jika yang berada di masjid-masjid? Ketahuilah hanya Wali Allah sahaja dapat mengetahui siapa wali-wali. Di pasar , apabila mendengar waktu azan terus mereka tutup kedai dan berlari pergi ke masjid. Jika habis sahaja azan, mereka masih belum ttup kedai, mereka akan biarkan dah terus ke masjid tanpa merisaukan kedainya . Bila tanya kenapa? Katanya adakah dunia lagi penting dari Allah swt? MASHAALLAH. Di pasar itu Tiada perempuan di situ. Mereka terjaga/terpelihara suci dirumah mereka atau di tempat belajarnya . Dan laki-laki kebanyakkanya duduk di Masjid-masjid. Masjid di tarem sungguh banyak. Baru berape KM sudah ada masjid lagi. Dan Masjid mereka penuh dengan orang. Bahkan waktu solat tahajjud tengah malam pun ramai seperti solat jumaat. Siapa yang datang ke Tarim pasti dan pasti tidak mahu pulang ke tanah air Tareem kota Akhirat . Yang mengingatkan kita pada AKHIRAT. Di tareem kalian harus menjaga Hati. Kenapa?? Pernah ada suatu ketika seorang kawan melihat pakcik tua yang sedang membersihkan haiwannya di pagi hari . Lalu kawanku ini terdetik dalam hatinya 'haih tak g masjid ke pakcik ni, kan dah nak subuh' pastu apabila lalu depan pakcik tu tiba2 pakcik ity tegurnya. katanya "jaga hati kamu" terus kawan nangis dlm hati dan istighfar. sebab dia hanya cakap DALAM HATI sahaja tapi pakcik tu boleh tahu. MasyaAllah kebanyakkan Penduduk di tareem itu mereka boleh tahu isi hati kita, perbuatan kita dan lain2nya Kerna mereka kebanyakkan nya Wali Allah swt Nama pun KOTA SEJUTA WALI. Banyak lagi kisah yang menarik di sana. Semoga suatu hri nnti dapat jejakkan kaki ke sana. Amin Allahumma Amin. (sumber: UsrahTarbiahJiwa)

The Salaf used to say:

A sin that leads you to sincere repentance is better than a good deed that leads you to pride.

Hamad ibn Salamah visited Sufyan Al-Thawri and Sufyan said :

“O Abu Salamah! Do you think Allah will forgive someone like me?”

Hamad replied :

“By Allah, if I were given the choice between being held accountable by Allah or by my parents, I would choose to be held accountable by Allah because He is more merciful to me than my parents.”

[Siyar Aalaam Al Nubalaa, 7/449]

The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said :

"Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases : 1) A person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously, 2) and the one whom Allah has given wisdom and he acts according to it and teaches it to others."

[Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 73]

The Salaf feared sins more than we fear hardships.

Because they knew : hardships bring you back to Allāh ﷻ. Sins take you away from Him.

Syaikh Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله said :

“Know that if you expose your brother’s faults, Allah will send someone to expose yours in return — a recompense that is only just and equal.”
