Our Children and the Masjid


The Statement of the Messenger : - صلى الله عليه وسلم
"Order your children to pray at the age of seven, and hit them [lightly if they don't] when they are ten and separate them from one another in their beds."
These are Islaamic etiquettes that must be adhered to; ordering the children to pray at the age of seven. Ordering them does not mean that you say; ‘Pray’ to them and that’s it, the Messenger - عليه الصلاة والسلام - ordering us to order our children to pray necessitates that we teach them how to pray. Otherwise, ordering your child to go the Masjid to pray while you haven’t taught him how to purify himself or how to pray is not fulfilling your responsibility. You fulfill your responsibility when you teach him how to purify himself, teach him how to pray, then order him to pray, it is then that you have acted out the order [of the Messenger].
As for the negligence of a lot of people, those who bring their child to the Masjid at the age of seven or younger, without being in a state of purity, without knowing how to pray, and then place them in the row – then this row is considered to be disconnected because of this child standing there. This is because this child is not praying, and this Hadeeth is enacted on the parent:
"Whoever connects the line will be connected by Allaah [to His reward], and whoever disconnects the line will be disconnected by Allaah [from His reward]."
You carry a child that does not understand how to pray, and you place him in the front row with you behind the Imaam? The people are only being silent out of courtesy, because this child is not in prayer, he may not even be upon purity, maybe not even in his physical body. This is because you just took him from your home without teaching him how to purify himself and how to pray to begin with.
This is erroneous, what you should be doing is teaching him how to purify himself and how to pray in your home firstly, then you teach him where and how to stand in the row [in the Masjid].

رحمك الله يا أمى كلمة الشيخ محمد سعيد رسلان- حفظه الله


رحمك الله يا أمى و أسكنك فسيح جناتك.... ورحم جميع موتى المسلمين

هذه كلمة الشيخ محمد سعيد رسلان- حفظه الله - قبل صلاة الجنازة على والدته رحمها الله تعالى, وأسكنها الفردوس الأعلى من الجنة, إنه جواد كريم. 

الْحَمْدُ للهِ وَحْدَهُ, وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَهُ.
أَمَّا بَعْدُ:
فَرَحِمَكِ اللَّهُ يَا أُمِّي، وَغَفَرَ لَكِ، وَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكِ، وَأَفْضَلَ عَلَيْكِ، فَقَدْ وَاللَّهِ ذَهَبَ بِذَهَابِكِ الْيَوْمَ أَكْثَرِي، وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ قَلِيلِي لَا يُغْنِي شَيْئًا فِي وَحْشَةِ الْبَيْدَاءِ وَوُعُورَةِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَفِي زَمَنٍ نَدَرَ فِيهِ الْحَبِيبُ، وَقَلَّ الصَّدِيقُ، وَعَزَّ الوَلِيُّ النَّصِيرُ، كَفَى بِاللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ نَصِيرًا.
أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ أَرْحَمَ بِي مِنْكِ، وَأَوْصَلَ لَكِ مِنِّي، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَذْعُ جَمْرِ الْفِرَاقِ يَكْوِي كَبِدِي وَقَلْبِي كَيًّا، وَيَشْوِي بَاطِنِي شَيًّا، وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبْقِي لِي مِنْ تَجَلُّدِي شَيْئًا.
يَا انْصِدَاعَ الْقَلْبِ الَّذِي يُسَمُّونَهُ الْحَسْرَةَ!!
مَتَى يَجِدُ قَلْبِي مُسْتَقَرَّهُ؟!
بَيْدَ أَنَّ فِي اللهِ عِوَضًا مِنْ كُلِّ ذَاهِب.
بَيْدَ أَنَّ فِي اللهِ غُنْيَةً مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِك.
وَاللَّهُ - جَلَّ وَعَلَا - البَاقِي وَحْدَهُ، وَاللَّهُ - جَلَّ وَعَلَا - بِيَدِهِ مَقَالِيدُ الأُمُورِ، يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيَحْكُمُ بِمَا يُرِيدُ.
وَمَا أَضْيَعَ الْوَلَدَ، يَفْقِدُ دُعَاءَ السَّنَدِ! وَهُوَ يُوَاجِهُ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ مَكْشُوفَ الصَّدْرِ عَارِيَهُ، وَمَا أَقَّلَ مِنَ الْعَطَاءِ حَظَّهُ! وَمَا أَبْخَسَ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ نَصِيبَهُ!
بَيْدَ أَنَّهُ فِي اللهِ عِوَضٌ مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ، وَغُنْيَةٌ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَاهِبٍ، هُوَ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ بِيَدِهِ مَقَالِيدُ الأُمُورِ، يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ، وَيَقْضِي بِمَا يُرِيدُ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَذْعُ جَمْرِ الْفِرَاقِ يَكْوِي قَلْبِيِ وَكَبِدِي كَيًّا، وَيَشْوِي بَاطِنِي شَيًّا، وَيَكَادُ لَا يُبْقِي لِي مِنْ تَجَلُّدِيِ شَيْئًا.
وَبَكَيْتُ كَالطِّفْلِ الذَّلِيلِ أَنَا الَّذِي     مَا لَانَ فِي صَعْبِ الْحَوَادِثِ مِقْوَدِي
وَاللهُ - جَلَّ وَعَلَا - المسْئُولُ أَنْ يَرْحَمَكِ رَحْمَةً وَاسِعَة.
وَأَنْ يُجَافِيَ الأَرْضَ عَنْ جَنْبَيْكِ.
وَأَنْ يُحْسِنَ وِفَادَتَكِ، وَيُعْلِيَ فِي الجَنَّةِ دَرَجَتَكِ.
وَأَنْ يَجْعَلَ لَيْلَتَكِ هَذِهِ لَيْلَةَ الْقُدُومِ عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ، لَا لَيْلَةَ الْوُرُودِ عَلَى النَّارِ.
وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ خُولِفَتْ فِيهِ السُّنَّةُ، أَوْ خُرِجَ فِيهِ عَنِ الدَّعْوَةِ إِلَيْهَا فَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ، وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِي الْجَمِيعَ إِلَى سَوَاءِ الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ،  وَهُوَ وَحْدَهُ الْمُعْطِي، وَالمَانُّ لَا مَانَّ سِوَاهُ، وَلَا رَازِقَ غَيْرُهُ.
وَأَسْأَلُ اللهَ جَلَّتْ قُدْرَتُهُ أَنْ يُحْسِنَ خِتَامَنَا، وَأَنْ يَشْرَحَ صُدُورَنَا، وَأَنْ يُلْهِمَنَا رُشْدَنَا، وَأَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنَّا أَجْمَعِينَ.
وَلَا يُقَالُ إِلَّا مَا يَجِبُ أَنْ يُقَالَ: "إِنَّا للهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَأخْلِف لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا".
 وَصَلَّى اللهُ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ

"If I was asked where is Allah?" I would say above the Heaven".


On the authority of Sadaqah, [who] said:

I heard Sulaymaan at-Taymee saying: "If I was asked where is Allah?" I would say above the Heaven".
Sulaymaan is from the leading Imaams of [the People of] al-Basrah in knowledge and action.
Source: "Mukhtasar al-Uluww" of adh-Dhahabi, (p. 133).
Note: Al-Laalikaa'ee reported this also (2/92). Sadaqah, he is Ibn al-Muntasir, Abu Shu'bah ash-Sha'baanee, Abu Zur'ah said: "The is no harm in him" all of its men (i.e. the narrators) are trustworthy, and al-Bukhaaree narrated it in "mu'allaq" form in "Af'aal ul-'Ibaad" (p. 71

رحمك الله يا أمى






وبعد كل هذه السنوات وقد مرعلى وفاتك تسعة عشرعاما

وبعد كل هذه السنوات ما زلت أستيقظ من نومى ودمعتى على خدى لأننى رأيتك فى منامى

ما زلت أشتاق إليك

إشتاق إلى نظرة حانية منك... إلى دعاءمخلص بالتوفيق أسمعه
إشتاق إلى نصيحة نابعة من قلب لم يكن لى سوى المحبة
أشتاق إلى أناديك بأحلى كلمة ممكن لإنسان أن ينادى بها إنسان

أمى

مازلت أشتاق إلى بسمتك،إلى طلتك،إلى ضمتك
أشتاق إلى وجودك فى حياتى

أشتاق إليك يا أمى فى لحظات كثيرة من حياتى بل أشتاق إليك فى كل لحظة من حياتى

فى لحظة نجاحى أشتاقك وفى لحظة فشلى أشتاقك

وبعد كل هذه السنوات هل وفيتك حقك؟؟

فى الدعاء وهو ما يجب أن أقوم به فى كل صلاة وعند كل سجود

هل وفيتك حقك فى فعل أى شئ ممكن يجلب لك أجرا وثوابا بعد إنقطاع عملك ؟؟

لا...... والله لم أوفيك حقك

إلى أبنائى جميعا

إذا كانت أمك ما زالت على قيد الحياة أذهب إلى قدميها وأمكث هناك

مرغ خدك بملامسة يديها الحانيتين وأطلب من الله أن تطول هذه اللحظة ،أن تطول للأبد

قبل رأسها... أشبع نظرك من النظر إليها مرات ومرات فقد تكون  آخر نظراتك إليها
وأسألها عما تريد، بل من غير أن تسأل

أنت تعرف ما تريده أمك

نفذه فورا
هل تعرف ماتريده أمك منك؟؟

أن تكون ولدا صالحا بارا، حافظا لكتاب الله عاملا بما جاء به

  مطبقا لسنة رسول الله صل الله عليه وسلم

تريدك أن تكون مواظبا على الصلوات فى الجماعة بل تريدك أن تكون إماما للمسجد
ان تكون ناجحا و أن تكون مسلما قويا
تريدك بنيتى أن يكون الحجاب والعفاف والوقار تاجك وعنوانك
يابنى ويابنيتى..

أنت تعرف ماتريده أمك

فأفعله على الفور


ياربى أرحم أمى و أغسلها بالماء والثلج والبرد
ياربى اغفر ذنوبها وأجعل جنة الفردوس الأعلى مثواها

When Friends Become Enemies


Allaah, the Most High, says:
سُوۡرَةُ الزّخرُف 
 

الْأَخِلَّاء يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ )67 )
Friends on that Day will be foes one to another except the pious who fear Allaah (al-Muttaqoon).”
az-Zukhruf (43):67
Indeed the enmity between these friends springs from the source of their worldly love of one another since they united upon evil, and were indulgent with regard to one another’s misguidance. So on that Day they will blame one another for the consequences of their misguidance and the result of their evil. On that Day they will become adversaries heaping abuse on one another when once they had been friends who exchanged secrets. On that Day the oppressor who loved unjustifiably will bite his hand in regret, remorse and distress – and regret will be of no benefit then.
سُوۡرَةُ الفُرقان
وَيَوۡمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيۡهِ يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيۡتَنِى ٱتَّخَذۡتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلاً۬ (٢٧) يَـٰوَيۡلَتَىٰ لَيۡتَنِى لَمۡ أَتَّخِذۡ فُلَانًا خَلِيلاً۬ (٢٨) لَّقَدۡ أَضَلَّنِى عَنِ ٱلذِّڪۡرِ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ جَآءَنِى‌ۗ وَڪَانَ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ لِلۡإِنسَـٰنِ خَذُولاً۬ (٢٩
“And (remember) the Day when the wrongdoer will bite his hands, he will say: ‘Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger (Muhammad salAllaahu alayhi wasallam). Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (the Qur’aan) after it had come to me. And Satan is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need.’”
 al-Furqaan (25):27-29

All his friends round about will be silent as he raises his grieving voice in mournful tones, but no one will respond to him, he has lost every loved one and close friend, so he begins to bite his hands in regret, remorse and sorrow … and biting on one hand will not suffice him, rather he bites one and then the other or both together due to severe anguish.
Whilst the former friends are lost in their recriminations and their regrets, those who loved one another for Allaah’s sake and formed ties for Him and were sincere towards each other will be surrounded with security, calm and tranquility.
سُوۡرَةُ الزّخرُف
يَـٰعِبَادِ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ تَحۡزَنُونَ (٦٨
“My worshippers! No fear shall be on you this Day nor shall you grieve.”
az-Zukhruf (43):68
‘O Allaah, gather our hearts upon your prescribed way, and make us from those who love You, and from those who love those who love You, since we know that a person will be raised up along with those he loves.’

From Anas ibn Maalik who said that a man said to the Prophet (salAllaahu alayhi wasallam), “When will the Hour be, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “What have you prepared for it?” He said: “I have not prepared for it a great deal of prayer, fasting or charity, but I love Allah and His Messnger.” He (salAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “You will be with those whom you love.”1

Allaah Was Above His Throne Before Creating Anything




Al-Hasan bin Uthmaan informed us, saying: Alee bin Muhammad bin az-Zubayr informed us, saying: Ibraaheem bin Abil-Anbas narrated to us, saying: Ya'laa bin Ubayd narrated to us from Sufyaan from Abu Haashim from Mujaahid, who said: It was said to Ibn Abbaas, "There are some people who speak with [the rejection] of al-Qadr!". So he said:

They reject the Book. If I was to grab the hair of one of them, I would cut it off. Indeed Allaah the Mighty and Majestic was above His Throne before He created anything, then He created the creation. So He wrote whatever would happen until the Day of Judgement and indeed the people proceed upon an affair that has already been concluded.

They reject the Book. If I was to grab the hair of one of them, I would have taken them by the forelock.
