[Quote] Beware of I, mine, and I possess

And the Muslim should be aware of misusing "I", "mine" and "I possess", because Iblees, Fir'aun and Qaaroon were indeed tried with these three expressions...

{I am better than him} [Surah Saad 38:76] is the statement of Iblees,

{mine is the dominion of Egypt} [Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:51] is the statement of Fir'aun, and

{This has been given to me only because of knowledge I possess.} [Surah Al-Qasas 28:78] is the statement of Qaaroon.

The best place to put "I" is when the worshipper (of Allah) says: I am the sinful, mistaken, forgiveness seeking, confessing worshipper (of Allah). And "mine" when he says: the sin is mine, the fault is mine, the indigence is mine, the poverty is mine and the lowness is mine. And "I possess" when he says: (Oh Allah) forgive me what I have committed (from sins) intentionally, jokingly, mistakenly, purposely, and I possess (within me is) all of that. [This du'a is part of a whole du'a reported in Sahih Muslim 2138]

قال ابن القيم رحمه الله : وليحذر المسلم من طغيان " أنا "، " ولي "، " وعندي "، فإن هذه الألفاظ الثلاثة ابتلي بها إبليس ، وفرعون ، وقارون، ف {أنا خير منه} لإبليس، و {لي ملك مصر}  لفرعون، و {إنما أوتيته على علم عندي} لقارون. وأحسن ما وضعت " أنا " في قول العبد : أنا العبد المذنب، المخطئ، المستغفر، المعترف. " ولي "، في قوله: لي الذنب، ولي الجرم، ولي المسكنة، ولي الفقر والذل ، " وعندي " في قوله: اغفر لي جدي، وهزلي، وخطئي، وعمدي، وكل ذلك عندي

[Quote] ​The home of the Hereafter is for those who are humble for the sake of Allāh / Shaykh Rabee bin Haadee al-Madkhalee

The home of the Hereafter is for those who are humble for the sake of Allāh

{That home of the Hereafter (i.e. Paradise), We shall assign to those who rebel not against the truth with pride and oppression in the land nor do mischief by committing crimes. And the good end is for the Muttaqūn (pious)} [Sūrah Al-Qasas 28:83]

Allāh has prepared the home of the Hereafter for those who are humble for the sake of Allāh. And whosoever is humble for the sake of Allāh then He (Allāh) will elevate him. And as for the arrogant then Allāh hates them. And this will be their destination; the Hellfire. And refuge is sought with Allāh.

(تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۚ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ)

فالدار الآخرة أعدها الله للمتواضعين في الله. ومن يتواضع لله يرفعه. والمستكبرون يبغضهم الله. وهذا مصيرهم النار. والعياذ بالله

[Quote] The afflictions might be good for you / Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi'ee

When you are afflicted with an affliction, then perhaps that affliction is good for you. Whether that affliction may be in your wealth, your body or in anything that hurts and upsets you. Perhaps it is a means for the raising of your rank in this life and in the Hereafter, and perhaps it is a purification from Allāh (from sins), the Mighty and Majestic.

المصائب قد تكون خيرا لك

إذا أصبت بمصيبة، ربما تكون تلك المصيبة خيرا لك. سواء أكانت تلكم المصيبة في مالك أو كانت في جسدك، أو كانت في أي شيء يؤلمك، ويقلقلك، ربما يكون سببا لرفع شأنك في الدنيا والآخرة، وربما يكون تمحيصا من الله عز وجل

[Quote] False Hope and Wishful Thinking | 1

The scholar, the worshipper, the Zaahid, Shumait ibn Ajlaan said, “I heard my father saying:

‘Verily the believer says to himself: ‘It’s only [a matter of] three days.

Yesterday and what it contained has passed.

Tomorrow is [false] hope which you might not reach. If indeed you are from tomorrow’s people then [rest assured] tomorrow will come along with its provision.

Before tomorrow [even arrives there] is a day and night [i.e., the current day] in which many souls will perish—maybe you [too] will be one of those who do.

Each day’s worry is enough [to handle].

But you went and burdened your weak heart with years and ages worth of worry, the worry of prices increasing and falling, the worry of winter before winter even came, and that of summer before it did.

What, then, have you left for your weak heart in terms of its hereafter?

Every day your appointed term decreases yet you are not worried.

Every day you fully collect all your sustenance yet you are not worried.

You have been given what suffices you but yet seek what will cause you to transgress.

Not with a little are you content, and nor with plenty are you satisfied.

And how can a scholar not perceive his own ignorance when he has failed to give thanks for what he [already] has and is deceived into asking for yet more?

Or how can he whose desires do not cut off from the dunyaa and whose craving for it does not end work for the Hereafter?

How totally and utterly strange that someone believes in the Home of [Eternal] Life yet strives [instead] for the Abode of Deception!’’”

Qisarul-Amal, pp. 56-58.

[Quote] While You’re Asleep …

Khalaf ibn Hishaam, one of the reciters of the ten dialects, said, “I went to Sulaim ibn Isa to recite to him. One day when reciting I reached Surah Ghaafir and when I got to the Most High’s Statement:

“Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], “Our Lord! You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge! So forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire!” [Ghaafir 40:7]

He started crying severely, and then said to me, ‘O Khalaf! Don’t you see how great the right of a believer is? You will see him sleeping on his bed and the Angels are seeking forgiveness for him.’”

Wafayaatul-A’yaan, 2/142.

[Article] Ibn Baaz and the People Doing Hajj with Him

“And every Hajj it was from Shaikh Ibn Baaz’s habit that large numbers of men and women would perform Hajj along with him, most of whom were poor and non-Saudis, so he would say to everyone who asked His Excellency to be able to perform Hajj with him or who asked someone to ask him on their behalf, “Hayaahullaah,” and he wouldn’t ask about who would be going with him, nor how many they were in number, nor about how tight or not the places were.

The number of pilgrims doing Hajj with His Excellency and who would accompany him in his camp
and the place where he would stay during Hajj would be about 800.

 And the number of men and women for whom food would be provided in Mina and ’Arafah would range from 800 to 1000 pilgrims. But that is not what is surprising, what is surprising is the fact that food which was meant for 500 people would be enough for them all, but the blessing in his food was evident for all to see, the ones who saw that can testify to it, every time the numbers increased we thought it would not be enough for them, yet despite that it would and some of it would be left over. The number of people who would have lunch with him in Makkah was between 3 and 400. And I don’t know of a time when the food given to them didn’t suffice.”


Jawaanib min Seeratil-Imaam ’Abdul-’Aziz ibn Baaz, pp. 99-100.

[Quote] It will bring low some, and others it will exalt! / Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in the Noble Qur’an about the Day of Resurrection that:

 ﺧَﺎﻓِﻀَﺔٌ ﺭَﺍﻓِﻌَﺔٌ

{It will bring low (some); (and others) it will exalt} [Surah Al-Waaqi'ah 56:3]

The noble Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله mentioned regarding this ayah:

“And how many people are there who have a high status and are venerated by the people in this worldly life but will be from the most humiliated servants of Allah on the day of resurrection."

 [Tafseer Surah Al-Waaqi'ah 56:3]
