O Ungrateful One!

If your friend invites you to a meal, you are ever grateful.

Yet your mother and father work tirelessly to provide you 3 meals a day, and still, you treat them with disrespect!

Reward for the Qur'an Memoriser

Dhakwān As-Sammān said: I heard Abu Hurairah say:
((اقرءوا القرآنَ، فإنَّهُ نِعْمَ الشفيعُ يومَ القيامةِ، إنَّهُ يقول يومَ القيامةِ: يا ربِّ حَلِّهِ حِلْيَةَ الكرامةِ. فيُحلَّى حِليةَ الكرامةِ، يا ربِّ اكْسُه كسوةَ الكرامةِ. فيُكسى كسوةَ الكرامةِ، يا ربِّ ألبِسْه تاجَ الكرامةِ يا ربِّ ارْضَ عنه فليس بعد رضاكَ شيءٌ)).
"Recite the Qur'an, for it is indeed an excellent intercessor on the Day of Judgment. On that day, it will say: 'O Lord, adorn him with the adornment of honour.' And so, he will be adorned with the adornment of honour. 'O Lord, clothe him in the garment of honour.' And so, he will be clothed in the garment of honour. 'O Lord, place upon him the crown of honour.' 'O Lord, be pleased with him, for nothing surpasses Your pleasure.'”
[حسنه الوادعي في 'الشفاعة' (249)]

Reward for The Parents of The Qur'an Memoriser

On the authority of Buraidah (may Allāh be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
((مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَتَعَلَّمَهُ وَعَمِلَ بِهِ، أَلْبِسَ وَالِدَاهُ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ تَاجًا مِنْ نُورٍ، ضَوْؤهُ مِثْلُ ضَوْءِ الشَّمْسِ، وَيُكْسَى وَالِدَاهُ حُلَّتَيْنِ لَا تُقَومُ بِهَا الدُّنْيَا، فَيَقُولَانِ: بِمَ كُسِيْنَا هَذَا؟ فَيُقَالُ: بِأَخْذِ وَلَدكمَا القُرْآنَ)).
"Whoever recites the Qur'ān, studies it, and applies its teachings, their parents will be honoured on the Day of Judgment with a crown of light, whose radiance is like that of the sun. Moreover, they will be dressed in two garments of such extraordinary worth that nothing in this world can compare. They will then inquire, "What did we do to deserve this?" and it will be said, "This is because your child took (memorised) the Qur'an."

[Hasan li ghayrihi – Authenticated by Al-Hakim in 'Al-Mustadrak' [1/756], and Al-Albani, may Allāh have mercy on him, deemed its chain of narration 'Hasan' in 'Sahih At-Targhib wat-Tarhib' [1433]).

Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi comments:

O memoriser of the Qur'ān, reflect on the immense bounty and generosity of Allāh, who not only honours you but extends this honour to your parents as well!

Now, tell me, by Allāh, what act of worship has Allāh associated with such a remarkable reward for parents—granting them this distinction alongside the great favour He bestows upon their child?

Furthermore, understand, O memoriser of the Qur'ān, that many memorisers throughout history, past and present, were initially motivated to memorise the Qur'ān out of love and devotion to their parents. While this is not the time to recount stories in detail, it suffices to mention that one of the great scholars of Qur'anic recitation in our era lost his father at a young age. This loss deprived him of the comfort and joy a parent provides. Yet, when he heard his teacher narrating this ḥadīth, he was inspired to pursue the memorisation of the Qur'ān with fiery determination, driven by his desire to honour his late father..." [Awsimah ḥāfidh Al-Qur'ān (108 - 109)]

Math vs Maths

The correct spelling of the word depends on the region, with "math" being the preferred spelling in the United States and Canada, and "maths" being the preferred spelling in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and other English-speaking places.

Mum vs mom

Mum" and "mom" are both terms used to refer to a mother, but the correct spelling of the word depends on the region, with "mom" being the preferred spelling in the United States and Canada, and "mum" being the preferred spelling in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and other English-speaking places.

Program vs programme

Both words refer to an outline or agenda. The correct spelling is "program" in American English, while "programme" is the preferred spelling in British English. However, "program" is often used in computing contexts in British English.

BENEFIT 246: Regular Lessons Vs. Intensive Short Courses

The origin is to study Islamic sciences with a Salafi teacher in a regular, consistent manner.

Az-Zuhrī raḥimahullāh said:
«إن هذا العلم إن أخذته بالمكاثرة غلبك، ولم تظفر منه بشيءٍ، ولكن خذه مع الأيام والليالي أخذاً رفيقاً تظفر به»
"Indeed, if you approach this knowledge with a desire for rapid accumulation, it will overwhelm you, and you will gain nothing from it. However, if you take it gradually over the days and nights with patience and care, you will attain it."
[الحلية (٣/٣٦٤)]

He also said:
«من طلب العلم جملة فاته جملة، وإنما يدرك العلم حديث وحديثان»
"Whoever seeks to acquire knowledge all at once will miss much of it. Knowledge is attained gradually, one or two ḥadīths at a time."
[الجامع للخطيب (رقم٤٥٢)]

Regular lessons are intended for students studying the book for the first time. It is appropriate for them to have a detailed explanation to fully understand the book and grasp each topic thoroughly.

On the other hand, intensive courses are primarily designed for students who have previously studied the book but wish to review it in a quick, thorough, and comprehensive manner in a short period of time. The main purpose of intensive courses is for a fast and complete review, allowing the student to cover the entire book in a very short time.

Additionally, intensive courses can be used by students who have not studied the book before but want to gain a general understanding of it—its structure, topics, and issues—before beginning a detailed study. This way, they have prior knowledge of the book’s content and are better prepared for its detailed study, in-shā-Allāh.

The Blessing Of FOOD & DRINK!

We should praise Allah with varied praises just as we eat varied types of dishes
________
Here are Six ways to praise Allah after mealtimes:

1⃣. Abu Umāmah radiyallahu ‘anhu said: “When the table spread of the Prophet ﷺ was raised [i.e. When he completed eating], he said:

((الحَمْدُ لِلهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ، غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ وَلاَ مُوَدَّعٍ وَلاَ مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ، رَبَّنَا))

"Abundant praise be to Allah which is pure, blessed and not considered to be sufficient. Our Rabb is never abandoned [i.e. People constantly beg from Him] and He is always needed." [Sahih Bukhari]

2️⃣. Abu Ayyub radhiyallahu 'anhu said that when Allah's Messenger ﷺ ate or drank he said:

((الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَ وَسَقَى وَسَوَّغَهُ وَجَعَلَ لَهُ مخرجا))

“Praise be to Allah who has given food and drink, made it easy to swallow, and provided an exit for it.”

[Reported by Abu Dawud and others - Graded Saheeh by Shaykh Muqbil in his Saheeh Musnad collection]

3⃣. Mu’adh ibn Anas radhiyallahu anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “He who consumes food and says at the end:

((الحمد الله الذي أطعمني هذا، ورزقنيه من غير حول مني ولا قوةٍ))

"All praise is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavour on my part or any strength."

All his past sins will be forgiven.”

[Reported by At-Tirmidhee and others, and declared authentic by Albany rahimahullah]

4️⃣. A man narrated that whenever food was brought to the Prophet ﷺ He would say bismillah and when He would finish eating He would say:

((اللهمَّ إنَّكَ أطعمتَ و سقيتَ، وأغنيتَ وأقنيتَ، وهديتَ و;جتبيتَ، اللهمَّ فلكَ الحمدُ على ما أعطيتَ))

"Oh Allah you have fed, gave drink, enriched, granted ownership, guided and chosen for your favour. Therefore, Oh Allah for you is praise for what you have provided." [Saheeh al-Jaami' #4768]

5️⃣. Narrated by Abu Huraira: A man from the Ansar invited the Prophet ﷺ. He said: We went with him, and after we had eaten and washed our hands, he said:

((الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي يُطْعِمُ وَلَا يُطْعَمُ ، مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا فَهَدَانَا وَأَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا ، وَكُلَّ بَلَاءٍ حَسَنٍ أَبْلَانَا، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ، وَسَقَى مِنَ الشَّرَابِ ، وَكَسَا مِنَ الْعُرْيِ ، وَهَدَى مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ ، وَبَصَّرَ مِنَ الْعَمَى ، وَفَضَّلَ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ تَفْضِيلًا ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ))
[Reported by Ibn Hibban and others. Graded Saheeh by Shaykh Muqbil rahimahullah in his Saheeh Musnad Collection]

6️⃣. Anas radhiyallahu anhu reported: Whenever the Prophet ﷺ went to his bed, he would say:

((الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا، وَكَفَانَا، وَآوَانَا، فَكَمْ مِمَّنْ لاَ كَافِيَ لَهُ وَلاَ مُؤْوِيَ))

"Praise is to Allah Who has provided us with food and with drink, sufficed us and gave us an abode, for how many are there with no provision and no home." [Muslim]

Note: This is to be said at bedtime
