You Are Where You Are Not By Yourself

(The seeker of knowledge) does not credit himself regarding his efforts (in seeking knowledge) rather he sees that the favor bestowed on him is due to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. لَا يَرَى لِنَفْسِهِ الْفَضْلَ فِي سَعْيِهِ، بَلْ يَرَى لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْفَضْلَ عَلَيْهِ al-Ājurrī, Akhlāq al-ʿUlamāʾ 1/47 الآجري، أخلاق العلما ١/٤٧ https://shamela.ws/book/1311/49 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

Signs of al-Ikhlas

From al-Rabīʿ b. Anas, who said: “The sign of faith is sincerity for Allah, and the sign of knowledge is fear of Allah.” وعن الربيع بن أنس رحمه الله قال: علامة الدين الإخلاص لله، وعلامةُ العلم خشية الله. [Mawsūʿah Ibn Abī ʿl-Dunyā 1/174] [موسوعة ابن أبي الدنيا 1/174]. Aḥmad al-Ṭayyār, Ḥayāh al-Salaf 1/229 أحمد الطيار، حياة السلف ١/٢٢٩ https://shamela.ws/book/17505/226 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com

One night, Talhah ibn Ubaydillah radi Allahu ‘anhu saw an incident that sparked his curiosity. He saw Umar ibn al-Khattab radi Allahu ‘anhu leaving in the darkness of the night, and entered a house that was not his. After Umar left, Talhah decided to visit the same house, and he met a paralysed, blind old woman who was living there. Talhah asked the old woman: ❛Who was the man who came to you?❜

🌿 She simply said: ❛He has been taking care of me for such-and-such time. He brings me what I need, and takes away any rubbish for me.❜ 【Source: Umar ibn Al-Khattab, His Life And Times, by ‘Ali Muhammad As-Sallaabi, Vol. I, p. 265】

This was the humility of Umar ibn al-Khattab. He was one of the companions who were promised Jannah, yet still took the time to care for an old, disabled woman. He brought her food and water, and took out the trash for her. And he concealed this good deed from the knowledge of others, but Allah exposed that good deed to Talhah and the rest of us, so that we too may be inspired by it.

Look also at the life of Ali ibn Husayn, the grandson of Ali ibn Abi Talib radi Allahu ‘anhum. During his time, there were poor people living in Madinah. These poor people however kept receiving sustenance on their doorsteps from an unknown donor. When ‘Ali ibn Husayn passed away, they started missing what they used to be given at night.

🌿 It finally dawned on the people that it was ‘Ali ibn Husayn himself who carried breads on his back in the darkness of the night, and followed the poor to give food to them — because they found marks on his back from the sacks of provisions that he used to carry. 【Source: Al-Dhahabi in Siyar A’lam al-Nubala】

There are many other narrations about our pious predecessors, where they would conceal their tahajjud prayers from everyone. When it was time for the Fajr prayer, they would pretend as if they slept the whole night, and just woke up in time for salaah.

These are the lives of our salaf, who were very possessive of the khayr that they did, who wanted to preserve the sincerity of their good deeds by hiding them. And as a result, they had so many good, quality deeds that followed them to their graves.

What about us? What is that at least one good deed that we've kept secret between ourselves and our Rabb? O Allah, make us among Your humble and sincere servants.

Akhirnya sampai pada kata merelakan. Melepaskan semuanya tanpa harus bertanya kenapa???

Maaf mengakhiri tanpa mengucapkan sepatah katapun. Maaf harus meninggalkanmu dengan cara seperti ini...

Tak bisa kulanjutkan, ketika bersamamu ada banyak kesedihan yang tercipta.. kuingin tetap sendiri seperti sebelum kamu hadir. Aku ingin bahagia dengan caraku, dan itu bukan bersamamu...

[stmarwahakrim]

Semoga kesabaran selalu menyertai pada setiap keadaan..

[amxtullahhh]

🍁 May Allah allow us to do everything for His sake.

Here's a beautiful quote by Imam Shafi RA. 💖 Sincerity of intention is the most beloved to Allah. Allah looks at the hearts of people and not their faces. May Allah grant us the spirituality of the pious, enable us to become a means of guidance for others and forgive our shortcomings. #Aameen #ikhlaas #sincerity #goodhearted #goodpeople #kindness #helpful #supplication #dua #prayer #tahajjud #InshaAllah #ameen #forgive #forgiveness #repentance #astaghfirullah #trustallah #alhumdulillah #bepatient #forgiveandforget #islamicquotes #islamicsayings #دعا #الدعاء #استغفار #استغفرالله #استغفرالله_واتوب_اليه
