أم إبراهيم فاطمة محمد

The mother of Sufyaan ath Thawree (d.161H) said to Sufyaan:

"Go and seek knowledge (of the religion) and I will support you by spinning the wheel (by sewing).

When you write ten ahadeeth, look and see if you have increased in (piety and righteousness). If you have, then continue (in seeking knowledge), and if you haven't then don't burden and wear yourself out."

[Siyar'Alaam an-Nubalaa vol.7, pg.269, Resalah Publishers, 2nd edition, trans: Markaz Mu’aadh]

"Don’t Have Time to Study Religion and Benefit Your Family? Your Phone Is Stealing Your Time: So Cut Back on Social Media Platforms!"

We often find that when a brother or sister, a son or daughter, is advised and told: “Why do you not set aside time to read the Qur’an, to seek knowledge, to read something beneficial, or to do activities that benefit you in your religion or your worldly life—even if only one hour a day?” He or she responds, “I don’t have time.”

But the reality of our lives exposes the futility of that claim—because we will happily spend long stretches of our day scrolling (and swiping) on our phones, and busying ourselves with things that do not benefit our religion, our family life, or our community—by wasting our time on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and X.

“So Either Live All Alone Or Keep Your Brother.. “

It's been said:

‏اذا كنت في كل الأمور معاتباً
‏صديقك لم تلقَ الذي لا تعاتبه
‏فعش واحدا أو صل أخاك، فأنه
‏مقارف ذنبٍ مرة ومجانبه

If you keep laying blame on your friend for every sin [you see], You'll never find that one person that will be blame-free.

So either live all alone or keep your brother, for he Into sins will stray at times, and at times he'll from them flee.

['Attributed to the poet Bash shar in Burd; quoted by the shaikh, Dr. Muhammad ibn Ghalib Al-'Umari. x.com/m_g_alomari. 24 Jul 24. (Tr.) Trans: Mikail Ibn Mahboob Ariff]

Stressed?

The shaikh, Dr. Muhammad ibn Ghālib Al-'Umari, may Allah protect him, said:

A person putting himself under mental stress, whatever the cause [of that stress] may have been, is [in effect] giving up on being positive and optimistic. Whether the cause was family, work, or something else--it's all the same.

[But] every time a slave-worshiper increases in certainty that whatever Allāh has ordained, He has only ordained for some [great] wisdom, his getting through crises and handling [things] well during them becomes easier [for him to do] and [leaves] less of an impact and effect upon him mentally.

Until When?..

It was said to Ibn al-Mubārak:

"Until when will you keep writing knowledge?"

He responded:

"Perhaps I have not yet written the word that will benefit me."

Steadfastness, Steadfastness — And What Do You Know Of Steadfastness!?

Shaykh al-'Allamah Muhammad Aman al-Jami said:

"The best type of favor is as the people of knowledge have stated: that Allah bestows upon His servant steadfastness upon His Religion. So he remains steadfast up until he meets Allah."

[Sharh Qurrah 'Uyun al-Muwahhidin 20, trans: Sunnah Publishing]

Imam Abd al-'Aziz Ibn Baz (رحمه الله) said,

"When your heart becomes steadfast upon love and fear of Allah, contemplating Him and being sincere to Him, then your deeds will become steadfast and your affair will become steadfast."

[Majmu' al-Fatawa (2/235), trans: Sunnah Publishing]

‎Shaykh 'Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

‎"Shaytān, if he sees that a person is steadfast upon the religion of Allah, he tries in every way, to turn him away from the path of Allah."

‎[Al-Liqā Ash-Shahri 3/325, trans: Manhaj Al-Haqq]

Oh Allāh, grant us steadfastness.

Imam al-'Uthaymin:

It is befitting for the individual to constantly ask Allah to keep him steadfast and to turn his heart towards obedience to Him. The heart was only specified because when it is rectified, the whole body is rectified and when it is corrupt, the body is corrupt.

[شرح رياض الصالحين ج6 ص22, trans: Sunnah Publishing]

A man said to Salman al-Farisi, may Allah be pleased with him, ”Advise me!”

He said: ”Do not speak”.

He said, ”I am not able to live amongst the people without speaking.”

He said, ”If you speak, then speak the truth or keep silent.”
