Aadam عليه السلام And The Apple:

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد 

⚡Is there any benefit in learning about the fruit that Aadam عليه السلام ate?

The tree - that Allaah سبحانه وتعالى forbade Aadam and his wive عليهما السلام to eat from, but they still ate from it - no scholar has confirmed what tree it was, and there is nothing in the Book of Allaah or the authentic Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ to point to a specific tree or fruit.

Whatever has been mentioned about a specific type of tree or fruit, then that has been narrated by some of the Taabi`een (students of the Companions), and most of them are based on Texts from the people of the Book (Jews and Christians). Some of them said it is the fig tree, and some said it is the grapevine, and some said it is wheat, and others said it is barely. But what is more commonly known with the vast majority of the people is that it was the apple. But there is no basis for this.

🎓 Imaam Ibn Jareer رحمه الله, after mentioning the above different opinions, said in his Tafseer of Surah al-Baqarah:
❝The correct opinion is to say: "From among the many trees in Jannah, Allaah تعالى forbade Aadam and his wife from eating from one specific tree. But they both disobeyed in what Allaah تعالى had prohibited for them, and they ate as Allaah تعالى had mentioned in His Book. And we do not know which specific tree it was, because Allaah تعالى did not leave any clue for His slaves, neither in His Book nor in the authentic Sunnah. So, from where did the people come to this conclusion (that it was an apple, or wheat, etc.)?

Some said it was from barely, and some said it was from grapevine, while others said it was from the fig tree. It could be one of them (but we do not know for sure). This is part of knowledge, which, if one came to know about it, it would not benefit him. And if an ignorant remains ignorant about it, his ignorance about this would not harm him."❞
📚 [Tafseer al-Tabaree]

There are many lessons to be learned from the story of Aadam عليه السلام, and learning about the fruit or tree is not one of them.

Importance Of Repaying Debts (A Compilation Of 20 Narrations)

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Summary: 

1.     Books of Hadeeth like Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan al-Nasaa’ee, Sunan Ibn Maajah, and Sunan al-Daarimee dedicated a special chapter heading: “Stern Warning Concerning Debt”

2.
     Anyone who died while he had a debt to repay, will be detained from entering Paradise.

3.
     The Prophet refused to offer funeral prayer for the one who died without repaying debt or not leaving behind anything with which to repay the debt. The only other time the Prophet and his Ummah have been prohibited to pray is for the Kuffaar. This is another clear indication of the importance of Huqooq al-`Ibaad (rights of the creation), and the severity of not repaying debts.

4.
     On the Day of Judgment, there will be no Deenar or Dirham to repay debt with. The matter will be decided through the exchanging of good deeds and bad deeds.

5.
     The Person, who is in debt, should pay off his debts before he can give money in charity.

6.
     The inheritance is not to be distributed to the heirs till the debt is paid off first. Just in two Ayaat, Allaah تعالى reminded four times about this in His Book.

Leading By Examples

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

In the Qur’aan we come across many Aayaat that are arranged in such a way that we, a lot of times, fail to understand the wisdom behind their arrangement. At first glance, we would not be able to make any connections between these different Aayaat, but upon pondering over them again and again, one can appreciate the Wisdom of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى.

A few examples of such pairing of `Aayaat are as follows:

1. Aayaat on Patience paired with Aayah of al-Safa & al-Marwah

2. Aayaah of Du`aa paired with Aayaat on Fasting

3. Aayah on Tawakkal paired with Surah Yusuf

It is like when Allaah
تعالى instructed His Prophet and the Believers to be patient, He تعالى gave an example in Patience. And when He تعالى instructed His Prophet and the Believers to trust Him in all our affairs, He تعالى gave an example in Trust.


1. Pairing of Aayaat on Patience with Aayah of al-Safa & al-Marwah:

Right after the Aayaat on al-Sabr, Allaah
تعالى mentioned about al-Safa and al-Marwah. Allaah تعالى said:

Introduction To Hisnul-Muslim
(By The Author)

Indeed, all praise is for Allaah (alone). We praise Him and seek His Help. We seek His forgiveness and we seek refuge in Him from the evil of our own souls and the evil consequences of our wicked deed. Whomever He guides shall never go astray, and whomever He allows to stray shall never find guidance. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allaah, alone, Who has no partner, And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. May Allaah praise him, and may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him and upon his family and his Companions and upon all those who follow them in righteousness until the Day of Judgment.

This book
[1] is an abridgment of my earlier work entitled:

الذكر والدعاء والعلاج بالرقى من الكتاب والسنة

Al-Dhikr wad-Du`aa wal-`Ilaaj bir-Ruqaa minal-Kitaab was-Sunnah [2]

In order to make it small and easily portable, I have chosen only the section on words of remembrance for this abridgment. To achieve this, I only mentioned the text of the words of remembrance instead of the entire Hadeeth. I also limited myself to mentioning only one or two reference from the original book for each Hadeeth. Whoever would like to know about the Companion who related a particular Hadeeth, or more information about where it is recorded, should refer to the original work [mentioned above].

I ask Allaah, the Glorious, the Mighty, by His beautiful Names and by His sublime Attributes to accept this as having been done sincerely for His sake alone. I ask Him to bring me its benefits during my lifetime and after my death. May those who read it, those who print it, or have had any role in its distribution, benefit from it also. Surely, He, the Glorified, is Capable if all things. May the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and upon his family and Companions, and whoever follows them in righteousness till the Day of Judgment.

Never Take Things For Granted!

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

QUOTE:

They say:
“You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.”
But the truth is:
“You knew exactly what you had. You just didn’t think you’d lose it…”

 

🌴🌴🌴

🌟 The Pain Of Moving On After Getting Used To A Comfortable Life/Place/Situation:

The comforts in life come in different shapes and sizes. People love having luxurious homes, comfortable cars, lots of wealth, beautiful wives and children, big farms, etc. As Allaah تعالى mentioned:

زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالْخَيْلِ الْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ وَالْحَرْثِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَاللَّهُ عِندَهُ حُسْنُ الْمَآبِ

{Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle, and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world's life; but Allaah has the excellent return (Paradise with flowing rivers, etc.) with Him.} [1]

But the thing is that not only did our hearts get attached to the comforts of this life, rather, we also got comfortable with sins. And every sin, if not repented, comes with a price, and now we are paying the price... loss of lives, health, jobs, and wealth, the ever-increasing expenses, the insecurity about what the future holds, the uncertainty of the next move, and the indecisiveness about the next step.

{Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall test you with evil and with good by way of trial. And to Us you will be returned} [Surah al-Anbiyaa (21): 35]

Ibn Rajab رحمه الله commented, saying:
“Allaah تعالى has made everything that afflicts a person – either good or bad – a Fitnah (trial), meaning it is a calamity by which everyone will be put to test.

The Book “Hisn al-Muslim” (حصن المسلم – Fortress Of The Muslim) needs no introduction. It has become a household name for every Muslim who loves the authentic Sunnah. For the past few decades, it has been a go-to book for many Muslims who wanted to learn the authentic Ad`iyah (sing.

Teaching Through Examples:

1. Pairing of Aayaat on Patience with Aayah of al-Safa & al-Marwah:

Right after the Aayaat on al-Sabr, Allaah تعالى mentioned about al-Safa and al-Marwah. Allaah تعالى said: 

What is "al-Hajj al-Akbar"?

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

⚡️What is "al-Hajj al-Akbar"?
⚡️Does the reward for al-Hajj increases if it falls on a Friday?

👉PART 1:

🚫 The Weak/Baseless narrations about the "merit" when the Day of al-`Arafah comes on a Friday - which people wrongly consider as "al-Hajj al-Akbar" or that it has special virtues:

1️⃣ “The best day on which the sun has risen is the Day of `Arafah which coincides with Friday, (performing Hajj) in it is better than Seventy Hajjs performed in other days.”

Excellence Of The Day Of `Arafah

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد 

From Shaikh Muhammad al-Malki’s lecture (summarized):

1. The favors and blessings of Allaah upon us are too many, we can neither count them nor can we thank Him fully for them.

2. Yet we are obliged to thank Him for these favors, because thanking Him for these favors only helps in increasing them, as Allaah تعالى said:

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ
{And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: “If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Me alone), I will give you more (of My Blessings), but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily! My Punishment is indeed severe.”}
[Surah Ibraaheem (14): 7]

The Deeds Most Beloved To Allaah In These Ten Days!

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد 

All praise is for Allaah (alone), and the most perfect and complete prayers and peace be upon Muhammad, the Messenger of Allaah, the preeminent amongst the first and the last (of the descendants of `Aadam), and the Imaam of the Prophets and Messengers, the (first) one who will intercede and (the first one) whose intercession will be accepted on the Day of Judgment, and upon his nice family, and his pure wives – the mothers of the Believers, and his noble Companions, and upon those who follow his Sunnah and accepts his guidance till the Day of Judgment.

To proceed…

The Prophet said: There are no days in which good deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these days. (Meaning the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah). They (the Companions) asked: “Not even Jihad?” He replied: “Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allaah's sake) and does not return with any of those things.”
[Sunan Abu Dawood (2348), Sunan al-Tirmidhee (757), Sunan Ibn Maajah (1727), and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. Imaam al-Bukhaaree also reported in his Saheeh (969) with a slight different wording]

How can a person know his worth with Allaah?!

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد 

👉 Always remember, the tongue is the reflection of the heart, while the actions are the reflection of the person’s character.

🔥
As for the tongue being the reflection of the heart, Allaah تعالى said about the Jews and the Mushriks:

قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ

{Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse.}
📚 [Surah aal-`Imraan (3):118]

🔥 As for the actions being the reflection of a person’s character, the Prophet said:
If you have no shame then do what you like.

The three types of trials

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد 

🌟 The three types of trials:
1. Trails for elevating the status
2. Trials as a reminder
3. Trials as a punishment

👉
Foremost, you must realize that you were not created for this world. You were created for the Hereafter. Either the permanent bliss in Paradise or the painful punishment in the Hellfire. 

💠 THE FIRST TYPE OF PEOPLE:
(Trails for elevating the status)

Perhaps a person may be righteous. His relationship with Allaah is good, upon servitude, obedience, and righteousness, and his sins are less, he is obedient to his parents, he strictly guards the prayers, prays on time, recites the Qur’aan, etc. All his affairs are good! Yet, after all this, he is afflicted with sickness or falls into debt, or loses his job, and he lives in poverty and destitution. He supplicates and supplicates, but it seems to him that his prayers are not being answered.

al-Qur'aan: Meaning of the word: “al-Nazgh”

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد 

Allaah تعالى said in the Glorious Qur’aan:

 

وَإِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

{And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitaan then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.}

📚 [Surah al-A`raaf (7): 200, and Surah al-Fussilat (41): 36]

 

🌴🌴🌴

 

👉 At any time, and in any situation, {if a prompting from Shaitaan stirs you up} that is, you feel angry or you feel Shaitaan’s whispering and discouragement from doing good, or encouragement and prompting to do evil, then seek Allaah’s protection, for He hears all things, and He is aware of all that is taking place.

📚 [Tafseer al-Muyassar (7):200]

 

🌴🌴🌴

 

👉 Al-Tabaree mentioned in his Tafseer:

The root meaning of the word al-Nazgh (النزغ) is al-Fasaad (corruption). It is when Shaitaan stirs animosity and the feeling of hostility amongst the people, so that one group transgresses the rights of the other.

📚 [Tafseer al-Tabaree (Jaami` al-Bayaan) (7):200]

 

🌴🌴🌴

 

📑 Note:

Many people do not know the true meaning of the word al-Nazgh which Allaah تعالى mentioned in the Qur’aan. Here is a practical example to teach you the correct meaning, because when you ponder over the meaning, you will take better precautions. It is like putting a small scorpion and a locust in a bottle and shaking it violently. The locust and the scorpion will bump into each other. The scorpion will feel that the locust is attacking it, and the locust will feel that the scorpion wants to sting it with its stinger, but in reality, it is the one who is shaking the bottle that is stirring the problem between the two, while these creatures are unaware.

This is the same example for us, as husband and wife, inside the house, in the same room, there is someone who tries to stir problems between the two while they are unaware, and that is the Shaitaan.

The meaning of al-Nazgh is Waswasah (whisper, evil prompting). And for Allaah is the highest attribute, when He تعالى says:

{And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitaan then seek refuge with Allaah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.}

2. They will ask for a day’s relief, that Allaah lightens the punishment for at least one day, but it also be denied. [Surah Ghaafir (40): 49-50]

3. They will request the inhabitants of Jannah to provide them with some food and water from the Jannah, but this will also be denied for them. [Surah al-A`raaf (7): 50]

4. They will ask to be given a second chance to do righteous deeds, but this will also be denied for them. [Surah al-Mu’minoon (23): 107-108]

Warraad, who was the scribe and a freed slave of al-Mugheerah Ibn Shu`bah رضي الله عنه, narrated that Khaleefah Mu`aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan رضي الله عنهما wrote to al-Mugheerah رضي الله عنه – and he was the Ameer assigned by Mu`aawiyah رضي الله عنه over al-Koofah – asking him to write for him a Hadeeth which he had heard from the Prophet . So, al-Mugheerah رضي الله عنه wrote to Mu`aawiyah رضي الله عنه: “Allaah’s Messenger used to say at the end of every obligatory prayer after the Tasleem:

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهْوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

HADEETH #1:

The Messenger of Allaah said: When Allaah wills good for His slave, he is honeyed by Him. They asked: “What does honeying mean?” He said: Allaah opens for him (the door towards) righteous deeds before his death, then He (تعالى) takes (his soul) whilst he is in that state.

Qataadah Ibn al-Nu`maan رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allaah said:

When Allaah loves a slave, He prevents him from the world, just as one of you prevents his sick (relative) from water.

📑 Explanation:

 It is from the Wisdom of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى that He afflicts His sincere believing righteous slave by preventing him from receiving some of the things of the world - the things which people think are beneficial and essential for having a comfortable life. But these afflictions serve a purpose:
