Ramadan: A School for Manners and Forbearance—Not Just Abstaining from Food and Drink!

Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

⏰ Ramadan Countdown - 18 Days Left

Shaʿban: Fast the Three #White Days

اَللّٰهُمَّ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ
O Allah, allow us to reach Ramaḍān.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَقُومُونَ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ، إِلَّا قَامُوا عَنْ مِثْلِ جِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ وَكَانَ لَهُمْ حَسْرَةً
❝Those people who get up from a gathering in which they did not remember Allaah will be just as if they had got up from (a gathering) similar to that of the carcass of a donkey, and it will be a cause of grief to them.❞ [1]

2. The statement of the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝from the rotten carcass of a donkey❞, i.e., a gathering similar to the rotten carcass of a donkey having a foul odor, filthy, and repugnant. The person who does not remember Allaah is compared to a dead. The gathering void of remembrance of Allaah is compared to a dead donkey. When there is bad and reprehensible speech like backbiting and slandering, then it is compared to eating the flesh of a dead person.

Things You Do That Are Bid'dah‼️

The following are innovations (Bid’ah) and practices you should avoid. These acts have no authentic evidence from the Qur’an or Sunnah. Some of them may even fall into clear kufr/shirk, while others are based on weak or unreliable sources. It is essential to follow Islam as it was practiced by the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, avoiding additions or distortions. As Prophet (ﷺ) Said:

“The evilest matters in religion are those that are newly invented, for every newly invented matter is an innovation, every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Hellfire.”

🤍First Qur'an translation in India 🤍

👉"In 1700, Shah Waliullah Muhammad Dehelvi رحمه الله , a prominent Muhaddith, played a significant role in teaching Hadith in India. He was the first to translate the Quran into Persian in India, a move that sparked controversy, with some people accusing him of being a kafir. Prior to this, the Quran had not been translated into any language in India. Sheikh Shah Waliullah Dehelvi's translation of the Quran into Farsi was a groundbreaking achievement, but it also led to severe backlash, with some people calling for his death. He fled away from his home in order to save his life, but his legacy lived on. Later, his son Shah Abdul Aziz Dehelvi رحمه الله translated the Quran into Urdu, marking the second language in India in which Qur'an was translated ."

O student of knowledge:

إن رأيت نفسك لا تتم وردك من القرآن

If you see that you do not finish your Wird (daily amount) from the Qur'an,

ولا تكمل قراءة كتابك

nor complete reading your book,

ولا تستمر في حضور درسك

nor continue attending your dars (lesson),

: فاعلم أنك بحاجة إلى

know that you are in need of:


١- تصحيح النية

1- Rectifying your intention

النظر في المشغلات

2- Looking into your distractions

ترتيب الأولويات

3- Sorting your priorities


العمر يمضي، والساعات تنقضي، وأجلك ينقص، فاحرص

في ذلك كله على زيادة عملك

Life is passing by, time is running out, and your lifespan is decreasing, and so, be diligent in all of that upon increasing your [good] deeds.

To every girl
who is secretly involved in an illicit relationship with a young man and feels unable to end it… Read my words and don’t ignore them. You may feel sadness, depression, and distress every time you even think about ending this relationship. My sister, read the words of Allah Almighty: ‘Say, nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us.’ Trust and be certain that this young man will not marry you except by Allah’s will. So why would you displease Allah, the Almighty, in a matter that is already in His hands?!

Do not deceive yourself by saying that he is a respectable, moral young man who is serious, not playing games, and that his words are sincere. If he were truly like that, he would have entered the house through its door (meaning: approached your family for marriage), and that is the least of faith.

I know you might say it is difficult to leave him and that you will not do it. But, dear sister, as Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: ‘By Allah, you will not attain what you love except by leaving what you desire, and you will not achieve what you hope for except by being patient with what you dislike. What is with Allah cannot be obtained except through obedience to Him.’

Finally, our noble Messenger, may the peace and blessings of my Lord be upon him, said: ‘Whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate them with something better.’ May Allah guide all Muslim men and women, and believing men and women.

Two Things That Lead Most To Either Hellfire Or Paradise

‎عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : تقدرون ما أكثر مَا يُدْخلُ النَّارَ ؟ قالوا : الله ُورسُولهُ أَعلمُ . قال : الأجَوفَان : الفَرجُ والفَمُ ، وما أكثر ما يدخل الجنة ؟ تقوى الله وحسن الخلق

From Abū Hurayrah Raḍi-Allāhu ‘Anhu who said: The Prophet Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Do you know what is that makes most people enter Hellfire??!!”

They (the Companions) replied: “Allāh and His Messenger know best.”

He Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “The two empty ones: the GENITALS and the MOUTH and do you know what is that makes most people enter Paradise??, it is TAQWĀ OF ALLĀH and GOOD CHARACTER.”

So do not 'falsely elevate yourselves. He knows best who is 'truly' righteous.( Quran ; Surah An-Najm - 32)

You think you're performing good deeds (becoming a scholar عالم ,teaching Quran) but your hidden intention is for pleasing the people & boosting ur ego, down to Jahannam you go. (unless Allah forgives you)

🌟 Evidence: Sahih Muslim 4688

You think you have fulfilled all the Farai'dh (obligations), Shahadah, salah, zakah, sawm, hajj,. to go to Jannah but you have backbited in friend circles throughout your life, all your good deeds are vanished, down to Jahannam you go. (unless Allah forgives you)

If you struggle with leaving h‌arām, read the following dūʿā:

اللّهُـمَّ اكْفِـني بِحَلالِـكَ عَنْ حَـرامِـكَ

Allāhummakfinī biḥalālika ‘an ḥarāmika,

O Allāh, suffice me with what You have made h‌alāl over what You have made h‌arām,

وَأَغْنِـني بِفَضْـلِكِ عَمَّـنْ سِـواكَ

wa aghninī bi faḍlika `amman siwak

and make me independent of all others besides You.

[Source for the dūʿā is sunan at-tirmidhi 3563, which was graded as h‌asan by al-albānī]

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Qur’an that He loves As-Sabirin, those who are patient.

What does sabr (patience) mean in the Islamic context? It means to stop or to withhold, and it comes in 3 aspects:

✅ for our hearts not to lose hope in Allah,
✅ for our tongues not to complain about Allah,
✅ for our limbs and bodies not to be used for haram matters.

So with this definition framed in mind, when is it okay for us to lose sabr? The answer is: Never. It will never be okay to lose our sabr in the above context. Meaning, it will never be okay to lose hope in Allah, or to complain about Allah, or to use our bodies in sinful matters.

Imam Ibn Rajab, may Allah have mercy on him, said that patience is of 3 types:

✅ Patience in obeying Allah,
✅ Patience in refraining from that which Allah has prohibited,
✅ Patience in accepting the decree of Allah when it is hurtful (meaning during calamity and hardship). [Lata'if al-Ma'arif].

The most important patience is actually patience in obeying Allah. The patience to establish the 5 daily prayers on time, the patience to wake up for Fajr even if we’re still sleepy, the patience to fast in Ramadhan, the patience to practice haya’ / modesty, and so on - even if our friends, community and society are not doing it. Brothers and sisters, the biggest victory a Muslim can ever achieve in this world is when he / she has a good relationship with Allah consistently.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says: ❝Only those who endure patiently will be given their reward without limit.❞ [Az-Zumar 39 : 10]

The rewards for those who are patient are infinite! It is open-ended, just like how our patience should be open-ended and never comes to an end.

We ask Allah to make us among As-Sabirin. Ameen.

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said:

“You must remember Allah, for it is a cure. And you must beware of remembering the people, for indeed it is a sickness.”

📖 [Kitab az-Zuhd, 644]

Imam Ibn Jawzi رحمه الله regarding trials and dua:

“The iman of believer is revealed in times of hardship, when he exerts himself in dua yet sees no sign of it being answered , and he his hope and longing doesn’t change even if the causes of despair become strong.

Due to his knowledge that the truth (Allah) is most knowing of what is beneficial , or perhaps whats intended is patience’s and faith, for he did not judge him with that except to see the submission of his heart, to see how his patience is, or he wants an increase of seeking refuge and supplication.

As for the one who wants his supplication answered quickly, and complains if it is delayed, for that is the one who is weak in faith , and thinks he has a right for the answering of his supplication, as if he is seeking the payment of his actions.

Yayuub peace be upon him remained years in trail, and his hope didn’t change, and when the lost binyameen was added to the lost of Yusuf he’s hope still didn’t change and he said:

“Perhaps Allah will bring them all back to me“

And this meaning was made clear in Allahs statement:

“Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you ? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the help of Allah?”

Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near”

And it is known that this statement wasn’t said by the messenger ﷺ and the believers except after a long period of trial and near despair of relief.

So beware, and beware of lengthening the period of trial and growing weary of constant dua, for you are trialed with trials and it’s required of you to come with patience and dua, and don’t despair from the mercy of Allah, even if the trial is prolonged.”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

ومن عقوباتها: أنها تُوقعُ الوحشةَ العظيمةَ في القلب، فيجد المذنب نفسَه مستوحشًا، قد وقعت الوحشة بينه وبيّن ربه، وبينه وبيّن الخلق، وبينه وبيّن نفسه. وكلّما كثرت الذنوب اشتدّت الوحشة

"And from the punishments of sins is that they place severe loneliness in the heart. Thereupon, the sinner finds himself lonely. Loneliness occurs between him and his Lord, and between him and the creation, and between him and himself. And whenever the sins increase, the loneliness intensifies."

🛑 Evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah

The Qur'an and Hadith (the sayings and practices of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ repeatedly emphasize the importance of worshipping Allah alone. Examples include:

👉 Qur'an: “And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him...” (Qur’an 17:23)

👉 "Say: 'Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims.'" (Qur'an 6:162-163)

👉 Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "The right of Allah upon His slaves is that they should worship Him alone and should not associate anything with Him in worship." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

🛑 Misconceptions and Clarifications

Some practices may lead to misunderstandings about Tawhid al-Uluhiyah, such as:

🌟 Visiting Graves: While it is permissible to visit the graves for remembrance, supplicating to the dead or seeking their intercession violates Tawhid al-Uluhiyah.

🌟Seeking Barakah (Blessing): Seeking blessings through objects or people, believing they inherently have the power to benefit or harm, contradicts Tawhid al-Uluhiyah unless done with the understanding that all power comes from Allah alone.

🌟Practical Implementation

To uphold Tawhid al-Uluhiyah, a Muslim must ensure that every act of worship, big or small, is directed solely to Allah. This can be done by:

♦️Regularly reflecting on the purpose of worship and ensuring sincerity.

♦️Avoiding cultural or superstitious practices that could lead to Shirk.

♦️Continuously learning about Islamic monotheism to avoid falling into errors.

🛑Conclusion

Tawhid al-Uluhiyah is the foundation of Islamic belief, emphasizing that only Allah is worthy of worship and rejecting any form of association with Him. It is a core principle that governs how Muslims relate to Allah and conduct their worship, ensuring that their devotion remains pure and focused solely on the One True Allāh (عزوجل).

#Copied #Tawheed

Tawhid al-Uluhiyah (also known as Tawhid al-Ibadah) is a central part of the Islamic belief system, focusing on the concept of monotheism in worship. Here's a detailed explanation of its meaning, significance, and associated concepts:

🛑Definition

Tawhid al-Uluhiyah refers to the oneness of Allah in worship. It means that all forms of worship—whether prayers,supplications, fasting, charity, sacrifices, or any other act of devotion—must be directed to Allah alone. No other being, object, or deity deserves any act of worship or reverence, as only Allah has the right to be worshipped.

The term "Uluhiyah" is derived from the word Ilah, meaning "deity" or "god." Therefore, this branch of Tawhid affirms that Allah is the only true God (Ilah) worthy of worship.

🛑 Significance in Islam

Tawhid al-Uluhiyah is the most critical aspect of Islam because it directly relates to the central purpose of a Muslim's existence: worshipping Allah alone. This belief is what distinguishes monotheism (Tawhid) from polytheism (Shirk), which Islam rejects.

Ultimate Purpose: In the Qur'an, Allah explicitly states that the purpose of creating humankind and jinn is to worship Him alone:

👉 “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (Qur’an 51:56)

🛑 Forms of Worship

Worship in Islam encompasses both external and internal acts of devotion. These include:

♦️ Prayers (Salah): The five daily prayers that are directed to Allah alone.

♦️Supplication (Dua): Asking for help or guidance from Allah, acknowledging His power.

♦️ Fasting (Sawm): Abstaining from food and drink for Allah's sake.

♦️ Charity (Zakat and Sadaqah): Giving to those in need as an act of worship to Allah.

♦️ Trust (Tawakkul): Relying upon Allah in all matters.

♦️ Love (Mahabbah): Loving Allah above all else.

♦️ Fear (Khawf): Fearing Allah's displeasure.

♦️ Hope (Raja'): Hoping for Allah's mercy and reward.

🛑 Shirk (Association with Allah)

Shirk is the opposite of Tawhid and is the gravest sin in Islam. It refers to associating partners with Allah in worship, such as:

🌟 Idolatry: Worshipping idols or other deities besides Allah.

🌟 Intercession through saints or other beings: Seeking help from or venerating saints, prophets, or other beings in a way that compromises Allah's exclusive right to be worshipped.

🌟 Belief in intermediaries: Thinking that other beings have a share in Allah’s power, or that they can act as intermediaries between Allah and His creation in matters of worship.

🌟 The Qur’an strongly condemns Shirk:

👉 “Verily, Allah does not forgive that partners should be set up with Him, but He forgives anything else to whom He pleases; and whoever sets up partners with Allah, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.” (Qur’an 4:48)

🛑 Relationship to Other Categories of Tawhid

Tawhid al-Uluhiyah is one of the three primary categories of monotheism, which are interconnected:

🌟 Tawhid al-Rububiyyah (Oneness of Lordship): This affirms that Allah is the sole Creator, Sustainer, and Provider. However, belief in Allah's Lordship is not sufficient for salvation unless it is accompanied by Tawhid al-Uluhiyah, directing worship to Allah alone.

👉 Example: The pagans during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ believed in Allah's existence as the Creator, but they worshipped idols alongside Him, thus violating Tawhid al-Uluhiyah. 👈


🌟Tawhid al-Asma wa Sifat (Oneness of Allah’s Names and Attributes): This requires believing that Allah's names and attributes are unique, without comparing them to the creation or distorting their meanings. Worshipping Allah alone (Tawhid al-Uluhiyah) is an extension of acknowledging His perfect attributes.
