2021-01-26 04:23:34 Just because they've invented the vaccine for covid-19 doesn't mean that you are immune from death. You still need to prepare for your Hereafter, and the best provision on your journey is to have Taqwa (being conscious of Allaah).

وَتَزَوَّدُوا فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَاتَّقُونِ يَا أُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ

{And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is Taqwa (piety, righteousness, etc.). So fear Me, O men of understanding!}

2021-01-25 21:44:22 #5 From the merits of feeding the food to the needy and the poor

From the actions of the people of Paradise:

Al-Baraa' Ibn `Aazib رضي الله عنه said: A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allaah! Teach me an action which will enable me to enter the Paradise.” He ﷺ said: ❝The question is a broad one, even though you have asked it in only a few words. Free someone and set a slave free.❞ The man said: “Are they not the same thing?” He ﷺ said: ❝No, freeing someone is setting someone free yourself. Setting a slave free is to contribute to the price of setting him free. You should also lend for milking a she-camel which has much milk and be well disposed towards a relative (even though he) has done wrong (to you). If you cannot do that, then feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, enjoin the good and forbid the bad. If you cannot do that, then restrain your tongue from everything except what is good.❞

[Musnad Ahmad (18647) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in Saheeh al-Targheeb (951, 1898, 2853). Al-Haakim also reported it in his al-Mustadrak (2861) and said: “It is Saheeh” and al-Dhahabee agreed with him.] Open / Comment

Inheritors of beautiful chambers in Paradise:

`Alee رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝Indeed in Paradise there are chambers whose outside can be seen from their inside, and their inside can be seen from their outside.❞ A Bedouin stood and said: “Who are they for O Prophet of Allaah?” He ﷺ said: ❝For those who speak pleasantly, feed (the poor and the needy) people, Fast frequently, and offer the prayer at night when others are asleep.❞

It is from the means of entering the Jannah:

`Abdullaah Ibn Salaam رضي الله عنه reported: I heard the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ saying: ❝O people, exchange greetings of peace (to one another), feed (the poor and the needy) people, strengthen the ties of kinship, and offer the prayer when others are asleep, you will enter Jannah in peace.❞

He will be among those who will receive the records of their good deeds in their Right hand:

{فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ؛ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ؛ فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ؛ أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ؛ يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ؛ أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ؛ ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ؛ أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ}

{But he has not broken through the difficult pass. And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass? IT IS THE FREEING OF A SLAVE, OR FEEDING ON A DAY OF SEVERE HUNGER (FAMINE), AN ORPHAN OF NEAR RELATIONSHIP, OR A NEEDY PERSON IN MISERY, and then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion. These are the companions of the right hand.}

2021-01-24 00:30:14 #1 From the merits of feeding the food to the needy and the poor

It is from the characteristics of the Abraar (righteous, those who fear Allaah):

{إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا؛ عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا؛ يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا؛ وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا؛ إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا؛ إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا؛ فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا؛ وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا}

{Verily, the Abraar (pious, who fear Allah and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called Kaafoor. A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allaah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly. They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading. AND THEY GIVE FOOD, IN SPITE OF THEIR LOVE FOR IT (OR FOR THE LOVE OF HIM), TO MISKEEN (POOR), THE ORPHAN, AND THE CAPTIVE, (SAYING): “WE FEED YOU SEEKING ALLAAH’S COUNTENANCE ONLY. WE WISH FOR NO REWARD, NOR THANKS FROM YOU. VERILY, WE FEAR FROM OUR LORD A DAY, HARD AND DISTRESSFUL, THAT WILL MAKE THE FACES LOOK HORRIBLE (FROM EXTREME DISLIKE TO IT).” So Allaah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadratan (a light of beauty) and joy. And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient.}

2021-01-22 23:30:22 What do you think....

If making Wudhoo’ (ablution) is a means for forgiveness…
…and walking to (the Masjid for offering) the Salaah raises your rank and effaces your (minor) sins…
…and your waiting for the Salaah after having offered the Salaah is like Ribaat (guarding the frontier)…
…and the supplication made between the Adhaan and Iqaamah is not rejected…
…and after you have offered the Salaah, the Angels supplicate for you…

…then what do you think will be the reward of offering the Salaah itself?
