al-Hasan al-Başrī, that he used to frequently say:

يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ، عَلَيْكُمْ بِالآخِرَةِ فَاطْلُبُوهَا، فَكَثِيرًا رَأَيْنَا مَنْ طَلَبَ الآخِرَةَ فَأَدْرَكَهَا مَعَ الدُّنْيَا، وَمَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا فَأَدْرَكَ الْآخِرَةَ مَعَ الدُّنْيَا.

"O young people, it is upon you to pursue the Hereafter. We have often seen those who pursued the Hereafter and reached it while still attaining the dunya. However, we have never seen someone pursue the dunya and still get the Hereafter alongside the duniya.

Al Bayhaqi in Kitab az Zuhd (12)

Keeping Good Thoughts

Know that the quality of your life is connected to the quality of your thoughts. Consequently, when your thoughts are the kind that brings benefit to you in your life and religion, then you will live a good, happy life, and the opposite brings the opposite result.

Imam as Abdur Rahman As Sadi
How to Acheive Happiness

قال ابن تيمية رحمه الله:
Ibn Taymiyyah may Allah have mercy on him said:

ليس من شرط المُتَّقِين ونحوهم أن لا يقع منهم
ذنب،
It is not a condition for the pious (al-Muttaqeen) and those like them that they do not commit any sin,

ولا أن يكونوا معصومين من الخطأ والذنوب
nor that they be infallible from mistakes and sins.

فإنَّ هذا لو كان كذلك لم يكن في الأُمَّة مُتَّقٍ
For if that were the case, there would be no pious person in the Ummah.

بل من تاب من ذنوبه دخل في المتقِين
Rather, whoever repents from his sins enters among the pious.

ومن فعل ما يُكفِّر سيئاته دخل في المُتَّقِين
And whoever does what expiates his misdeeds enters among the pious.

(منهاج السُنَّة 7/ 82)

قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله؛

والناس إذا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان أبغض بعضهم بعضاً.

مجموع الفتاوى (١٥ / ١٢٨)

Sheikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

When people cooperate in sin and transgression, they come to hate one another.

Majmoo’ al Fataawaa (15/128)

Sahih al-Bukhari 1143
Narrated Samura bin Jundab:The Prophet (ﷺ) said in his narration of a dream that he saw, "He whose head was being crushed with a stone was one who learnt the Qur'an but never acted on it, and slept ignoring the compulsory prayers."

Reliance upon Allâh

When the heart relies on Allâh, has trust in Him, refuses to surrender to evil thoughts and anxiety and longs for Allâh's favor and bounty, all types of depression and sadness will dissipate, Allâh willing. Also, various types of diseases that might strike the body and the heart will be avoided, earning the heart inner-strength, delight and comfort that cannot be duly explained with words.

_Imam as Abdur Rahman As Sadi
How to Acheive Happiness_

Sahih al-Bukhari 6483
Narrated Abu Huraira:I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "My example and the example of the people is that of a man who made a fire, and when it lighted what was around it, Moths and other insects started falling into the fire. The man tried (his best) to prevent them, (from falling in the fire) but they overpowered him and rushed into the fire. The Prophet (ﷺ) added: Now, similarly, I take hold of the knots at your waist (belts) to prevent you from falling into the Fire, but you insist on falling into it."

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ

‏ "‏اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي كُلَّهُ دِقَّهُ وَجِلَّهُ وَأَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ وَعَلاَنِيَتَهُ وَسِرَّهُ"‏ ‏.‏

Narrated Abuu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him:

"The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) used to say while in his prostration: 'O Allaah, forgive me of all my sins, small and great, first and last, open and secret.'"

Warning against some websites!❌*‼️***

Sheikh Usamah Al Utaybi حفظه الله said:

Alukah is a website of the Sururiyyah, but some scholars and students of knowledge might not be aware of the condition of the people who run it. And this is why they may be lenient about this issue. It is obligatory to alert the sheikh about this so that he does not promote them. The same applies to websites like Dorar Al Saniyyah under the supervision of Alawi Alsaggaf, as well as Saaid Al Fawaid, Islam Q&A under the supervision of the Qutbi Al Munajjid, and Islamweb, which is Ikhwanji (Ikhwani). All of these are websites which belong to Ahlul Bidah (the people of innovation), who spread their poison through sharing benefits related to knowledge. So, the Salafi should be cautious and aware of their deception. And Allah knows best.

————-

Question:

May Allah reward you, our sheikh. Do you recommend taking benefits from the Alukah network website?

Answer from Sheikh Tal’at Zahran حفظه الله:

No. They are from the people of innovation.
