*Removal of Blessings & Sending Down Of Punishments!*{SUPERB!}[Quran & Ibn Qayyim]


http://i31.tinypic.com/34rzodw.gif
 


Bismillaah, Wal-Hamdulilaah, Was-Salaatu Was-Salaamu 'alaa Rasoolillaah,


As Salaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatuh




The Removal of Blessings and the Sending Down of Punishments

From among the punishment of sins is that they cause blessings to be removed and calamity and hardship to descend. Blessings are taken from the servant because of his sins.

 

' Alee ibn Abee Taalib (Radhiyah Allaahu 'Anhu)

Allaah the Most High has said:-

 

 'And whatever misfortunes befall you it is because of what you have earned with your hands.'

 

 

{Source:-'Quran' -S-Shoorah 42:30}

and ...
That is because Allaah will never change a grace which He has bestowed upon a people until they change what is in their own selves.

 

{ Source:-" Quran " ~ S-Anfaal   #8:53 }

Allaah has informed us that He will not remove from the sons of Aadam, the good things He has granted to them unless they alter that which is within them. 

 

That is to say, a person changes obedience to Allaah to disobedience to Allah, and gratitude to ingratitude.

 

 

He turns from the causes of Allaah's pleasure to the causes of Allaah wrath. 

 Thus, when the servant transforms, a befitting compensation is specially prepared to suit his condition. 
 
And, your Lord is not a wrongdoer to His servants. In the same manner, if the human being changes disobedience to obedience,
 
Allaah replaces Punishment with Pardon .

Verily! Allaah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves. But when Allaah wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it and they will find besides Him no protector.
 
{ Source:- 'Quran'-S-Rad #13:11 } 


It was beautifully said:-

' If you are in a (pasture) of a good grace, then graze therein
For indeed sins are
diminished by obedience to Allaah
.
And your Lord is swift in retribution
Beware of oppression to the best of your ability'.

Oppression reaps evil consequences And travel within your heart amongst mankind that it may see the remnants of those who were
ill-treated
These, their dwellings are testimony against them.
 
There was nothing more destructive to them than tyranny And it ( tyranny) is that which shatters -And how many have been expelled from gardens and castles while others were overwhelmed by flood and scorched by fire And the blessings they obtained passed away like the  dream.'

'Do you know what that Smell is?
That is the Stench of those who gossip & backbite the believers' .

Deeds which grant Paradise & Preventus from Hell-Fire {?}(صلى الله عليه وسلم )['Quran' & Al-Tirmidhi]

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah.
 
 
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

 

 

 

Mu'adh bin Jabal, radiyallahu 'anhu, said:-

 

"O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed which will take me into Paradise

and will keep me away from the Hell-fire."

 

 

He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:-

 "You have asked me about a great matter, yet it is, indeed, an easy matter for him to whom Allah Almighty makes it easy.

 

 

It is that you worship Allah without associating anything with Him,

that you perform the prayers,

that you pay the zakat,

that you fast during Ramadan,

and that you make the pilgrimage to the House."

 

 

Then he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:-

 

 "Shall I not guide you to the gates of Goodness?

 

Fasting is a shield;

 

charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire;

 

and a man's prayer in the middle of the night."

 

Then he recited:-

 

"Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of that We have bestowed on them.

No soul knoweth what is kept hid for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do".

 

 [Source :-Quran ~Surah al-Sajdah 32 Ayah # 16-17]

 

 

Then he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:-

 

 "Shall I not also tell you of the peak of the matter, its pillar, and its topmost part?"

 

 

I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."

 

He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:-

 

"The peak of the matter is Islam

(submission to Allah),

 

the pillar is Prayer;

 

and its topmost part is Jihad."

 

Then he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:-

 

 "And shall I not tell you of the controlling of all that ?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah".

 

So he took hold of his tongue and said:-

 

"Restrain this."

 

I said:-

 "O Prophet of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?"

 

He said:-

 

 "May your mother be bereft of you!

Is there anything that topples people on their faces (or he said, on their noses) into the Hell-fire other than the jests of their tongues?"

[Source :-Related by Al-Tirmidhi, who said it was a fine and sound hadith]

Prophet~(Sal-Allahu Aleihi Wasallam)'Patience is @ the 1st Stroke of Calamity'{Sahih Bukhari

'Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam
 'ala Rasulillah'.
 
 
'As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu. '
 
 

The Prophet

 (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam)

passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave.

 

He told her to Fear Allah and be Patient.

 

 She said to him:-

 "Go away, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine."

 

{However  she did not recognize him}

 

Then she was informed that he was the

 Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam).

 

 

So she went to the house of the

Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam)

 

and there she did not find any guard.

Then she said to him:-

 

"I did not recognize you."

 

He (Sal-allahu- aleihi-wasallam) said:-

 

"Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a Calamity."

*Shaytan's Tricks to STOP us From Doing what ALLAH LOVES!*[Excellent Read]['Quran'-'Muslim']


"Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem"
 


"Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi

Wa Barkatuh".


 

 

Admiring Oneself After Doing a Good Deed.

 

If a person feels self admiration after doing something good or fears that he may show off,
he should ward that off and resist it by seeking refuge with Allaah from it, by saying:-
 
 
 "Allaahumma inni a'oodhu bika an ushrika bika wa ana a'lam, wa'staghfiruka lima laa a'lam "
 
 
{O Allaah, I seek refuge with you from knowingly associating anything with You, and I seek Your forgiveness for that of which I am unaware}"
 
 
 Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam) said :-
 
 

These kind of feelings happen to everyone,

but you have to try to be sincere towards Allaah,

seek His forgiveness, and remember that

there is no strength and no power except with Allaah!

 

if it were not for the help of Allaah, you would not have been able to do this good deed,

 

so to Allaah be praise in the beginning

and at the end.

 

 

The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam).

said to Mu'aadh ibn Jabal:-

 

 

 "O Mu'aadh, by Allaah indeed I love you, and I advise you, O Mu'aadh, do not forget at the end of every prayer to say:-

 

 "Allaahumma a'inni 'ala Dhikrika wa Shukrika wa Husni 'Ibaaditika "

 

 

(O Allaah- help me to remember You,

give thanks to You and worship You in the best way)."

 

 

{ Source :-Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, al-Nasaa'i,

and others ~it is saheeh~.}

 

 

Do not forego doing good deeds for fear of showing off, because this is one of the tricks that the Shaytaan uses to weaken people's resolve and stop them from doing things that Allaah loves and is pleased with.

 

 

As for merely feeling happy that one has done a good deed, this does not contradict sincerity and faith-

for Allaah says :-

 

 

"Say: "In the Bounty of Allâh, and in His Mercy (i.e. Islâm and the Qur'ân); —

therein let them rejoice."

That is better than the wealth they amass"

 

[Quran SurahYunus 10:58] 

 

The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam)said:-

 

 

   If he attains guidance, faith and righteous deeds, and the mercy resulting from what overwhelms him and he feels joy and success as a result.

Hence Allaah commanded us to rejoice over such things.

 

 

The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam). said:-

 

 

 "If your good deeds make you happy and your bad deeds make you sad, then you are a believer."

 

 

 (Narrated by Ahmad, Ibn Majaah and others from the hadeeth of Abu Umaamah; it is a saheeh hadeeth)

 

 

By the same token, if people praise you for your good deed, then this is a portion of the glad tidings of the Hereafter, which Allaah gives a person in this world.

 

The Messenger of Allaah

(sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam). was asked:-

 

 

 "What do you think if a man does a good deed and the people praise him for it?"

 

He said:-

 

 "That is the portion of the glad tidings for the believer which he is given in this world."

 

 { Source:-Narrated by Muslim from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah

(may Allaah be pleased with him).}

 

So this praise is a sign that Allaah is pleased with him and loves him, so He makes him dear to other people.

 

 

 

Note:- We ask Allaah to make our intentions and deeds right

for HIM!

 

"Insha Allah"!

*What a Bad Servant of ALLAH is he! *~{'Superb'} A MUST READ ![Hasan al-Basri]


'Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem'

http://www.yadl3.com/vb/up/21013_21199182092.gif

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh!
 
 

Al-Hasan al-Basri [may Allah bestow His mercy upon him] said: -
 
 
"What a bad servant (of Allah ) is he! "
 
 
I am speaking of a servant who fits the following description:-
 
 
1. He asks for forgiveness (Maghfirah), while he is actively engaged in sinful disobedience (Ma'siya).
 
 
2. He behaves in a humbly submissive manner, so that he may be credited with loyalty (Amana), but he is only pretending, to hide his
 disloyalty (Khiyanah).
 
 
3. He forbids what is wrong, but does not refrain from it himself.
 
 
4. He enjoins what is right,
but does not act upon his own instructions.
 
 
5. If he gives, he does so very stingily,
and if he withholds, he offers no apology.
 
 
6. If he is in the best of health, he feels secure, but if he falls sick, he becomes remorseful.
 
 
7. If he is impoverished, he feels sad, and if he gets rich, he is subject to temptation.
 
 
 
8. He hopes for salvation, but does not act accordingly.
 
 
 
9. He is afraid of punishment, but takes no precautions against it.
 
 
10. He wishes to receive more benefit, but he does not give thanks [for what he has received].
 
 
11. He likes the idea of spiritual reward,
but he does not practice patience.
 
 
12. He expedites Sleep and postpones Fasting" .
