Al-Uthaymeen: The Combination of Peace and Blessings in Dua for the Prophet ﷺ

Follow @AhleDhikr

Ibn al-Uthaymeen (may Allah have Mercy on him) said:

The combination of sending Peace and Blessings (in supplication) upon the Prophet has a marvelling secret:

Blessings: the supplicant is asking for something to be given to him - praise.  

Peace: the supplicant is asking for something to be diverted from him – harm.

قال ابن الجوزي - رحمه الله - : " عباد الله تَعاهَدُوا الصَّلاة على حبيبنا مُحَمَّد ﷺ لِأن الله تَعالى إذا أرادَ بِعَبْدِهِ خيرا يسر لِسانه للصَّلاة على مُحَمَّد ﷺ". بستان الواعظين ورياض السامعين ١/ ٣٠٠

Ibn al-Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Servants of Allah! Make a pledge to pray for blessings upon our beloved Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), because Allah (The Most High) – if he wants good for His servant, He will make easy on his tongue the supplication of blessings upon Muhammad. End quote.

Al-Usaymi: Be Warned of an Illusion

A mirage creates an image for man that there is water in the desert, but when they look for it - they don’t find it. Perhaps they even die because of it. Most today, have mirages in all of their affairs. His conjecture is pulling him. His imagination is deceiving him. As a result, his life is corrupted - except for whom my Lord has Mercy on. So be careful of a pursuit in which behind it is actually a deceiving mirage.

Bin Baz and Our Obligation to Earthquakes

Follow @AhleDhikr

 

Shaykh Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz (may Allah have Mercy on him) said:

It is obligatory after earthquakes - and other distasters such as eclipses, winds, floods etc. - that we hasten to make Tawbah with Allah (the Glorified), show weakness to Him and ask Him for Protection; to increase in Dhikr and Istighfar. 

This is how he said (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) about the eclipse:

"If you see it, hasten to the Dhikr of Allah, supplicate to Him and make Istighfar with Him."
