🌻Wealth and offspring are the distractions of the dunyâ.
🌻Wealth and offspring are connected and mentioned together throughout the Qur‘ân.
🌻There are of people who prefer wealth more than children; and of people are those who prefer children over wealth.
🌻Allâh did not mention them together as fitnah, for sometimes they are fitnah and other times they are not.
🌻Righteousness is what will truly benefit, not one’s wealth or the offspring he has.
🌻Thikr is one of the best of deeds.
🌻Whoever turns away from thinking of the Yawm Al-Qîyâmah will not succeed in the dunyâ or âkhirah.
🌻Make your heart firm on remembering Yawm Al-Qîyâmah.
🌻All of creation will be gathered together on Yawm Al-Qîyâmah. They will come to Allâh like they were created; young and without clothing.
🌻There will be two types of books; Lawh Al-Mahfoodh and the books of deeds given to every person.
🌻The books of deeds will fly; the people of Jannah will receive theirs in the right and the people of Jahannam will receive theirs in the left.
🌻People will be reluctant to read their book. Every deed, big or small, will be recorded.
🌻The men who think it isn’t a big deal to watch shows with women in tabarruj or look at pictures of women should beware, for all they do and look at is recorded; and it is a religious obligation upon them to lower their gaze.
🌻One should live in the dunyâ with fear and caution.
🌻The small sins are listed before the major sins in the book of deeds.
🌻Iblees was from the jinn but was among the angels, because Allâh had honored him for his belief and worship. He was known as Sajjâd among the jinn for his constant prayer and worship. He was always in sajdah.
🌻The angels are created from light and the jinn are created from fire.
🌻Iblees disobeyed Allâh and left worship. Most people obey, sin, obey, sin. After obedience, Iblees disobeyed when asked to prostrate.
🌻One who calls upon those whom he associated with Allâh on Yawm Al-Qįyâmah will not receive any answer.
🌻To call upon someone besides Allâh who can neither harm you nor benefit you is major kufr that will take one outside of Islâm; this is the case for those who call upon the deceased, the saints, their a‘immah besides Allâh, all of whom cannot respond to their calls.
🌻The fire has two viewings, public—when all of creation see it—and private—when those doomed to live in it see it; the people of Jahannam know they will not escape it.
🌻The human being believes himself to be self-sufficient and intelligent, but he is deluding himself.
🌻Following the path of their ancestors is what has prevented people from guidance throughout history; such is the case today, even among Muslims, where people follow their parents’ and grandparents’ brand of Islâm rather than what is correct.
🌻The messengers and prophets were sent to remind and warn the people. Not all disbelieved when the prophets came; some recognized the truth but turned away out of arrogance and pride.
🌻The greatest is sin is to turn away from pondering upon the Qur‘ân.
🌻It is sinful to recite and listen without pondering upon the verses. What is meant by listening is to do so with both the heart and mind, for the ear that listens alone will gain nothing.
🌻The one who is not punished in the dunyâ for his sin and transgression will meet his punishment in the âkhirah.
🌻The powerful countries who oppress the Muslims and transgress their limits are in the hands of Allâh.
