‎• Monday 16th September[13th Rabī Al-Awwal]

‎The Prophet ﷺ:

[Sunan an-Nasa’i | 2420]

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله:
‎“There is a difference between someone who tells you with his tongue, “I love you”, and there is no evidence of his condition, and the one who is silent and does not say it, but you see evidence of all his conditions that speak of his love for you.”

[طريق الهجرتين 314]

Heart Like A Fortress

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله:

“Know that the heart is like a fenced fortress attended by angels. The fence has doors and cracks. The mind resides inside the fortress. Next to the fortress there is a barn in which there are lusts, and devils attend the barn. There is a war between the residents of the fortress and those of the barn. Devils patrol the fortress hoping for the guard to become lax, or to enter through the cracks. So the guard must know all the fortress doors to which he was assigned, and all cracks as well. He must not lower his guard for even a moment, for the enemy is never lax.”

[The Devil's Deceptions By Ibn al-Jawzī - Pg. 85]

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:

“Whoever sets his tongue free to slander and speak about the honor of the Muslims, and seeks their faults, Allāh will hold back his tongue from professing the Shahādah at the time of death!.”

[Bahr al-Dumoo’ | Vol. 1, Pg. 224]

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said,

‎"If the heart was pure, it would be in turmoil when a sin is committed."
‎[al-Latā'if Fil-Wā'iz | P. 114]

The Day of ʿArafah (The Ultimate Day of Mercy)

اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلٰهَ إلَّا اللّٰهُ وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ
أَكْبَرُ وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ

“Allāh is the Greatest. Allāh is the Greatest. There is no god worthy of worship but Allāh and Allāh is the Greatest. Allāh is the Greatest and all praise is for Allāh alone.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

"Work for a day, the day you die, so that you’ll be laughing with joy, while they’ll be crying for you."

[Ṣayd ul-Khāṭir | Pg. 203]

The Importance of Studying The Names of Allāh

The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allāh has ninety-nine names. Whoever preserves [understands] them will enter Paradise.” Sahīh Bukhārī [no. 7392]
- “Whoever knows the names of Allāh and their meanings, believing in them, will have a more complete faith than the one who does not know them but just believes in them in general.” See Majmoū Al-Fatāwa [7/234] by Shaykhul Islām Ibn Taymīyyah.

- “Whoever knows Allāh, knows everything other than Him. Whoever is ignorant of his Lord is even more ignorant of everything other than Him.” Madārij As-Sālikīn [vol. 3, p. 351] by Imām Ibn al-Qayyim.

- "The key to the call of the Messengers, the essence of their Message, is knowing Allāh through His Names and Attributes and Deeds, because this is the foundation on which the rest of the Message, from beginning to end, is built." Sawā'iq al-Mursalah ala al-Jahamīyyah wal-Muattilah by Ibn al-Qayyim [1/150-151]

- "The more a person learns about the Names and Attributes of Allāh, the more his faith increases and the stronger his conviction becomes." Tawdīh wal-Bayān li Shajarat al-Īmān by Shaykh Abdur Rahmān As-Sa'di [p. 41].

Action plan:
- Supplicate to Allāh with His Names: "And to Allāh belong the best names, so invoke Him by them." Sūrah al-A’rāf: 180.
- We should praise Allāh with all of His Names.
- Contemplate on the meanings of the Names of Allāh.
- Strive to memorise the Names of Allāh.
