towards the Amalek is greater than the enmity towards the Coptic Egyptians who enslaved
them because the hate that the Egyptians had towards the Children of Israel was
rational due to “a fear of disapproval (as their population was
growing), thus can be rationed with.” </span><span style="color: #202122; font-family: georgia;">However,
“unconditional, irrational hatred cannot be reasoned with.” Therefore, “it (the
enmity) cannot end and will persist.”</span></p>

with our in Palestine?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Answer (a summary):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">-Turning to Allah with Dua that Allah gives victory to Islam
and the Muslims and that Allah unites their word on the truth, the Tawhid of Allah
and actions that Please Him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">-A person must be upset by what is happening.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="background: white; color: #415161; font-family: Barlow; line-height: 107%;">“</span></i></b><i><span style="background: white; color: #415161; font-family: Barlow; line-height: 107%;">And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what
your hands have earned. And He pardons much.” (42:30)<o:p></o:p></span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background: white; color: #415161; font-family: Barlow; line-height: 107%;">It is not permitted to insult or rebuke the
Muslims for what has befallen them.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">-It is obligatory for us to take an admonition from it. We
remind them and ourselves of Taqwa. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Talq bin Habeeb (d. 100 H) was asked about something very
similar:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">They asked, “O Shaykh, we have experienced a great deal of
Fitnah so what is the solution?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">He said, “Taqwa of Allah (the Glorified and Exalted).”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">So they asked, “Describe Taqwa to us.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">He said, “Taqwa is that you obey Allah, with light from
Allah, seeing the reward of Allah. That you stay away from the disobedience
from Allah, with light from Allah, fearing the punishment of Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Taqwa is the way out of all calamities and difficulites (cf.
65:2). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

be a political one, because people are already following the news and aware as
to what is happening (politically), but the response should be a spiritual one,
an educational one.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">As a starting point, we have to realise that this life is a
life of being tested and trialled and that Allah (the Glorified and the
Exalted) is testing us, commanding us, trialing us with the actions of one over
another. Some will test others. From this, He will test you in affairs which will
occur in the apparent world around us, such as earthquakes and eruptions and the
likes. Likewise, we will be tested by being overcome by the enemy. Today, what
is happening Palestine – all of this is within this context. It is a test and
trial for us all. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The strong person (in this situation) is being tested so
that he doesn’t oppress. The weak person (in this situation) is also being
tested so that he remains patient. The disbeliever is being tested in that Allah
has Given him strength, wealth, health, that he has a firm hand in the life of
this Dunya – as a means of gradual progression against him (<span dir="RTL" face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="AR-SA" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">الاستدراج</span><span dir="LTR"></span><span dir="LTR"></span><span dir="LTR"></span><span dir="LTR"></span>). And the Muslim, Allah
(the Glorified and the Exalted) is testing him with being in a position of
weakness and being oppressed etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">So, the response should be in asking, “What is required from
us?” (because we are all being tested).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The answer: what is required from us is to understand the nature
of this test. We pursue a path seeking the Pleasure of Allah (the Glorified and
the Exalted). We must realise why we are here, where we are going and why exactly
are these events occurring. As a result, we must stand with the Muslims and aid
them with whatever we can. We ally with them and we must realise that
they are the people of truth. We mustn’t be with the people of falsehood. In
this country (the UK), if a person is able to help his brothers through the licensed
channels, then this is good, and whatever else a person can do to support and strengthen

Will the servant continue supplicating to Allah or will they despair and stop asking, so that they are prevented?</p><p>-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-Uthaymeen (may Allah have Mercy on him) </p>Ariff bin Abee Bakr Ollahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611176013685590367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082356528337308721.post-55167102002822109882022-12-16T00:47:00.005+03:002022-12-17T14:48:01.403+03:00al-Khudayr: Wiping over Shoes Must Cover the Ankles<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFqAdFS8yLR3GgnLplCut3bti1xQZskqdEfhAMaeCUU-7t20_H7FSQwZYA2VYi_rM_MB7JzkTTwzLIW_TubTz-L3lDz8DQUAt2YZx945nGknEgRItgzNHC459MHSt-xA7aB1EqNZgUN4gc8vebIr3pLM7hu3HXO6qyLg_NJNXs5D3eEFj4AEfDg96Lg/s690/thumbnail_IMG_1960.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFqAdFS8yLR3GgnLplCut3bti1xQZskqdEfhAMaeCUU-7t20_H7FSQwZYA2VYi_rM_MB7JzkTTwzLIW_TubTz-L3lDz8DQUAt2YZx945nGknEgRItgzNHC459MHSt-xA7aB1EqNZgUN4gc8vebIr3pLM7hu3HXO6qyLg_NJNXs5D3eEFj4AEfDg96Lg/s320/thumbnail_IMG_1960.jpg" width="297" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Question: What is the ruling on wiping over the shoes during the cold?</p><p>Answer: Shoes that do not cover ankles are not permitted to wipe over. It is not permitted to wipe over anything which doesn't cover the entire foot - if it doesn't cover the entire area of obligatory washing. Footwear that the ankles cannot be seen, otherwise such footwear would not take the same name as a "Khuff", and wiping has been legislated over (what is similar to) the Khuff and not over shoes (that does not cover the ankle). </p><p>-Shaykh Abdul-Kareem bin Abdillah al-Khudayr (Allah preserve him)</p><p>Former Member of Panel of Senior Scholars</p>Ariff bin Abee Bakr Ollahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611176013685590367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082356528337308721.post-77002753623653489042022-11-30T08:00:00.001+03:002022-11-30T08:00:00.194+03:00Al-Uthaymeen: If you Don't Give Thanks...<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpmLbRtz_IwhttmvdNcvYt3SJQvZviRAazMQZiivv2u18dKc8DJXgNSDkosg_OwqdnwQLBuNYQcwiGRwLiZ5Ud3K5H3cz8oNZ9VEscwjept7EdDNXNrG-VDacrmBSu2Rw7GyUcMMv_63mxFAOB0Vlq3vxQcarRS4E2mWSIaFYku3rWoULlz7FH2aIOZQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="367" data-original-width="640" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpmLbRtz_IwhttmvdNcvYt3SJQvZviRAazMQZiivv2u18dKc8DJXgNSDkosg_OwqdnwQLBuNYQcwiGRwLiZ5Ud3K5H3cz8oNZ9VEscwjept7EdDNXNrG-VDacrmBSu2Rw7GyUcMMv_63mxFAOB0Vlq3vxQcarRS4E2mWSIaFYku3rWoULlz7FH2aIOZQ" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The favour of security - if you don't give thanks for it, it will be replaced with fear. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The favour of provisions - if you don't give thanks for it, it will be replaced with hunger. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Likewise, the favour of religion - if you don't give thanks for it, it will be replaced with Kufr.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-small;">-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-Uthaymeen (may Allah have Mercy on him) </span></p>Ariff bin Abee Bakr Ollahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611176013685590367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082356528337308721.post-70495586545716360882022-11-26T03:23:00.001+03:002022-11-26T03:23:04.273+03:00Al-Uthaymeen: None is Assisted to Them Except a Few<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNfX8VQ1Ke9__4q4exBCTWvM_yCTLr1sFkTlU7H7AtDpXsfnCvh7GccS_H2ozM071Gny7VyXOLzKHOFCrQ0p3ht3_ii0UpXvReTfajf_lEWf1RU64SiBTalIgFNjCWeoX9tShtQb3gpTb-24_NZDtL6i__ck9r3uNvMW1J8C-pkXbeooORNUNpWC7ew/s640/IMG_1907.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="348" data-original-width="640" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNfX8VQ1Ke9__4q4exBCTWvM_yCTLr1sFkTlU7H7AtDpXsfnCvh7GccS_H2ozM071Gny7VyXOLzKHOFCrQ0p3ht3_ii0UpXvReTfajf_lEWf1RU64SiBTalIgFNjCWeoX9tShtQb3gpTb-24_NZDtL6i__ck9r3uNvMW1J8C-pkXbeooORNUNpWC7ew/s320/IMG_1907.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b>Until you are certain, that the matter is about assistance from Allah.</b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Look at the most simpliest Adhkar (remembrances) - they are from the easiest forms of obedience (and good deeds), however, none is assisted to them except for a few. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-Uthaymeen (Allah have Mercy on him) </span></p>Ariff bin Abee Bakr Ollahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611176013685590367noreply@blogger.com0
