In case you missed it, we recently started this new series: [https://youtu.be/xuclSdJlNvw] One of the key objectives is to enhance our Arabic reading skills, broaden our vocabulary. and deepen our understanding of how fitnah unfolds—so we can avoid repeating the same mistakes. I’d like to share these beautiful lines of poetry from Sheikh Abu Amr’s introduction (Part 2 of the series). الدَّهْرُ يَوْمَانِ ذَا أَمْن وَذَا خَطر ** والعَيْشُ عَيْشَانِ ذَا صَفْوِ وَذَا كَدَر Time is of two kinds: one of safety and one of peril * And life is of two states: one of clarity and one of distress. أَمَا تَرَى البَحْرَ تَعْلُو فَوْقَهُ الجِيف ** وَتَسْتَقِرُّ بِأَقْصَى قَاعِهِ الدُّرَرِ Do you not see that carrion floats atop the sea * While pearls settle in its deepest depths? وفي السَّمَاءِ نجُوْمُ لا عِدَادَ لَهَا ** وَلَيْسَ يُكْسَفُ إِلَّا الشَّمْسُ وَالقَمَر And in the sky, there are countless stars * Yet only the sun and the moon are ever eclipsed.

BENEFIT 340: Is it true that the Earth is round, like an egg or a sphere? Sheikh Aḥmad An-Najmi raḥimahullāh answered: I say that the Earth's spherical shape is an undeniable fact. This is evident from the time differences between various regions; for example, when it is before noon in America, we in the Arabian Peninsula are between Maghrib and Isha, with a time difference of approximately 8 to 10 hours. This is clear evidence of the Earth's spherical shape. However, the issue of contention is whether the Earth rotates or remains stationary. Allāh, the Almighty, describes the sun as moving while referring to the Earth as stable, as stated in: {ولكم في الأرض مستقر ومتاع إلى حينٍ} "And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and provision for a time." [Qur’an 2:36] and {الله الذي جعل لكم الأرض قرارا والسماء بناء وصوركم فأحسن صوركم} "It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure and formed you and perfected your forms." [Qur’an 40:64]. Source: أسئلة وردت من قراء مجلة "النصيحة" الصادرة من معهد السنة بمدينة ماكاسر سولاويسي الجنوبية , إندونيسيا 6 / 7 / 1426 هـ

*THE 15th OF SHA’BĀN* - What is the ruling on specifying this night with acts of worship? Most -if not all- of the narrations concerning the 15th of Sha'bān are either weak or fabricated, and these weak and fabricated narrations are a gateway for the people of innovation and misguidance, so beware!! The Prophet ﷺ said: ((من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو ردٌّ)) "Whoever innovates into this affair of ours (i.e. Islām) that which is not from it will have it rejected." This ḥadīth proves that we must worship Allāh based on authentic sources ONLY. The most authentic narration concerning the virtue of the 15th of Sha'bān is the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: ((يطلع الله تبارك وتعالى إلى خلقه ليلة النصف من شعبان فيغفر لجميع خلقه إلا لمشرك أو مشاحن)). "Allāh, Blessed is He - The Most High, looks down on the middle night of Sha’bān and forgives all of His creation, except the polytheist and the one who bears a grudge against his fellow Muslim.” [Reported by Aḥmad, Ibn Mājah, Ibn Ḥibbān, and others]. Sheikh Albāni, may Allāh have mercy on him, commented on this ḥadīth, saying: "This is an authentic narration. It has been reported from a number of companions through various chains of narration, all of which strengthen one another." [Silsilatul Aḥādīth Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah (1144)] However, there are other scholars who have weakened this ḥadīth, such as Al-'Uqaylī, Ad-Dāraquṭnī, Ibnul Jawzī and others. But let's assume -for arguments sake- that this night is indeed an excellent and virtuous night and that this ḥadīth is actually authentic, does that mean we have the green light to specify this night with extra acts of worship? OF COURSE NOT! Rather, all that's required of us is to: 1⃣ - free ourselves from associating partners with Allāh (shirk) & 2⃣ - free ourselves from having any hatred towards our fellow Muslims. Therefore, if you are able to go to sleep tonight with a heart free of shirk and hatred, this is sufficient for you to attain the forgiveness of Allāh the Exalted. And Allāh knows best. ___ Sources: https://t.me/abdulhamid12/232 https://t.me/A_lzoukory/6672

*BENEFIT:* Separating Boys and Girls from an Early Age Question: Is it permissible for boys and girls under the age of seven to engage in religious studies and the Qur'ān in the same classroom? Sheikh Aḥmad An-Najmi raḥimahullāh: This should not be allowed to go on, so that the girl does not become accustomed to conversing with or sitting next to the boy. Additionally, relationships may develop between young children. Thus, avoiding this arrangement is safer in terms of one's religion, and this ensures that the girl remains reserved from the boy.

Fear of Showing Off (Riyā') and *the Deception of Shayṭān* Sheikh Fatḥ Al-Qadasi ḥafidhahullāh says: Fear of riyā' is one of the gateways through which Shayṭān leads people away from righteousness. He instills in you the fear of riyā' to prevent you from performing good deeds, ultimately depriving you of many acts of worship. If you are encouraged to give charity, you might refuse, saying, "I fear riyā'." If you are asked to join the congregation and stand in the first row, you might decline, saying, "I fear riyā'." If you are urged to fast, you may hesitate, fearing that people will say, "He is fasting to be seen as pious." If you are called to lead others in prayer, you may refuse, saying, "I fear riyā'." Such avoidance of acts of worship, one after another, can eventually weaken one's Deen. It makes a person vulnerable to Shayṭan’s influence. Shayṭān likes this type; those who are distanced from goodness and virtue. What Is the Solution? The solution is to persist in performing good deeds and to strive against your own inner fears (gains riyā'). Ibn Abī Mulaykah said: "I met thirty of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and all of them feared hypocrisy for themselves." Hypocrisy is, in essence, a form of riyā'. Even ’Umar ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb (may Allāh be pleased with him) once asked Ḥudhayfah: "I ask you by Allāh, did the Prophet ﷺ count me among the hypocrites?" Ḥudhayfah replied, "No, and I will not commend anyone after you." This shows that those whom Ibn Abī Mulaykah encountered—despite their fear of riyā' and hypocrisy—were at the forefront of every act of righteousness. They were the leaders, the preachers, the governors, and those through whom Allāh benefitted the people. They were the generous, the worshippers, the ascetics, the righteous, the scholars, and the jurists. This is the correct understanding: to follow the path of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as Allāh says (interpreted meaning): "If they believe as you believe, then they have been rightly guided." [Qur’an 2:137] Do not let Shayṭān deceive you into abandoning goodness, leading others in prayer, or any righteous act out of fear of riyā'. Instead, continue performing good deeds and strive against your soul. #Tarbiyah@masjidsahabah #فوائد_تربوية

BENEFIT 341: What is the ruling on collective remembrance (dhikr) led by one of the attendees?

BENEFIT: Instill in Them Love for the Believers and Ahlus-Sunnah, and Disavowal of Disbelievers and Ahlul-Bid'ah (1) Sheikh Muhammad ibn ’AbdilWahhāb (may Allāh have mercy on him) said: «يجب على الرجل أن يُعلم أولاده وأهل بيته الولاء والبراء أعظم من تعليمهم الوضوء والصلاة» "It is obligatory for a man to teach his children and household Al-Walā' wa Al-Barā' even more than he teaches them about ablution and prayer." [Majmū‘ Mu'allafāt Ash-Sheikh (3/322)] _ (1) Ahlul-Bid'ah Al-Mufassiqah are still Muslims, so they have a degree of Walā', unlike the disbelievers.
