Reverence For The Salah By Shaykh Abdur Razzaq ibn Abdul Muhsin Al-Abaad al-Badr ISBN: 9781684182404 Author: Shaykh Abdur-Razzaq Ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad al-Badr Book Binding: Paperback Pages 196 Size: 6 x 9 inch Publication year: 2020 Description About This Book: Shaykh Abdur Razzaq ibn Abdul Muhsin Al-Abaad al-Badr's book "Reverence for the Salah" is profound and enlightening. The acclaimed scholar digs deeply into the significance of Salah (Islamic prayer) and the value of establishing sincere reverence and dedication to this act of worship in this excellent work. Shaykh Abdur Razzaq Al-Badr gives excellent insights on how to achieve Khushu' (humility and attentiveness) in Salah throughout the pages of this book. He dives into the spiritual components of prayer, advising readers on how to strengthen their relationship with Allah through each prayer and transform it into a transformational and gratifying experience. The Ṣalāh is the most crucial affair in a Muslim's life. To preserve one's religion, one has to observe it consistently; otherwise, one would be negligent of the Ṣalāh, let alone other acts of worship. It is the pillar of Islām, as it is soundly reported from the Prophet (May Allah elevate his rank & grant him peace). At the same time, the remaining deeds serve as the axis of support. Similarly, a tent without a pillar is useless. The Ṣalāh is the criterion for accepting all other deeds; if it is rejected [by Allāh], all other deeds will be rejected. It is the first obligation ever in Islām and the last act of worship to wither. So, if one is negligent to the first and the last thing in Islām, then one will lose everything in-between. Inadequate observance of the Ṣalāh that lacks adherence to its prescribed form in the manner performed by the Messenger of Allāh (May Allah elevate his rank & grant him peace) will derail one's religion. It will invalidate all deeds, cause misconduct in one's religious and worldly affairs.

Sticking To The Prophetic Sunnah & Its Effects By Shaykh Muhammad bin Saleh al-'Uthaymeen ISBN: 9781944783150 Shaykh Muhammad bin Saleh al-'Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy upon him, gives a brilliant lecture on the topic of sticking to the Prophetic Sunnah. a small excerpt from the book: "The effects of sticking to the Sunnah" is the subject matter of this lecture. The Sunnah and the Qurʾān are interdependent; the Sunnah is considered an authority over the human being and, therefore, they are as obliged to comply with it as they are with the Qur'ān. Definition of the Sunnah: it is the established sayings, practices/actions and tacit approvals of the Prophet (Peace be upon him); it is obligatory to practice it as the Qurʾān. However, using the Qur'ān to prove something requires considering one aspect while using the Sunnah requires considering another aspect. Concerning the Qurʾān; There should be a match between the implication of the text used for proof and the ruling for which such text is used to prove: and there is no doubt that scholars in this regard due to the relative difference in their respective knowledge and understanding skills. Scholars have different opinions about the signification of the Noble Qurʾān depending on their knowledge, understanding, how firm their belief in Allāh (The All-Mighty and Sublime) is and as for glorification of His sacred matters.

Supportive Pillars In Cultivating Children By Shaykh Abdur Razzaq Ibn Abdul Muhsin Al-Abbad Al-Badr ISBN: 9781684188543 Indeed, children are the total sum of an enormous trust that Allāh, The Exalted, commands (us) to observe and preserve when He mentions the qualities of the believers, "And those who keep their trusts and covenants;" [Sūrah al-Ma'arij 70:32] He, the Exalted, also states, "O you who believe! Betray not Allāh and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amānāt (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allāh has ordained for you)." [Sūrah al-Anfāl 8:27] Just as Allāh, the Exalted, bestows upon parents this tremendous blessing, He says, "To Allāh belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He wills and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills." [Sūrah ash-Shura 42:49] He has conferred this blessing upon them, and He has made incumbent upon them certain rights and obligations; He has also made it as a test for the parents. If they establish those rights concerning their children as Allāh, The Exalted, ordered them to do, then they will have a great reward and a plentiful recompense with Allāh. However, if they neglect it, then they have subjected themselves to punishment according to their level of neglect. Allāh, the Exalted, says, "O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe" [Sūrah at-Tahreem 66:6] This verse is a great foundation concerning the obligation of guardianship, cultivation, and the giving of serious attention towards the children.

Taqwa Is the Cause for Every Good By Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz ISBN: 9781631736162 Because of the intense need for taqwaa and its immense significance, and the fact that every one of us-every Muslim-is in desperate need of taqwaa and istiqaamah (uprightness) upon that, I decided to write this brief essay. May Allah benefit the Muslims with it. I say, whoever contemplates the frequent references to taqwaa in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (Peace be upon him) will realize that taqwaa is the cause for every good in the worldly life (Dunya) as well as the Hereafter. So oh servant of Allah, whenever you recite the Book of your Rabb from its beginning to its end, you find that taqwaa is the head, the key, and the cause of every good in the Dunya and Hereafter. On the other hand, you suffer difficulties, trials, tests, and punishments because of carelessness or a violation of taqwaa, and neglecting or discarding a portion of it. Taqwaa is the cause of happiness, hope, and alleviation of anxiety, as well as the strength and help in the Dunya and Hereafter. The following verses will illustrate these points: "And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way out for him, and He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine." [Soorah at-Talaq 65:2-3] Some of the salaf said: "This verse is the most comprehensive verse in the Book of Allah," or they said, "It is among the most comprehensive of verses in the Book of Allah." It has such status because all goodness in this world and the next springs from it. Allah has made for those who fear Him an escape from the difficulties of the Dunya as well as the Hereafter. And mankind is in severe, intense, dire need of safety from the afflictions of the Dunya and the Hereafter-especially those to be experienced on the Day of Judgment. So those who fear Allah in this abode-Allah will relieve them from the troubles of the Day of Resurrection, and they will obtain happiness on this heavy and mighty day. Whoever suffers any distress should fear Allah in all affairs until attaining solace and facility. Hence, taqwaa is the door to alleviation from the plight of hardships, the sorrows of poverty, the grief of oppression, the anxieties of sin and transgression, as well as the torment of shirk and disbelief.

Tawakkul on Allah By Shaykh Abdur Razzaaq bin Abdul Muhsin al-Badr ISBN: 9781635877540 The station of Tawakkul on Allah is built upon one having an excellent understanding of Allah. Yet whoever doesn't learn of His Lord's perfection and greatness, the execution of His supreme will, the comprehensiveness of His power, His full knowledge, the completeness of His will and the execution of His Divine Decree will not be on a proper state as it relates to Tawakkul on Allah. So, Tawakkul on Allah is built upon having an excellent understanding of Allah. Based upon this, every time the servant's 'Imam of Allah strengthens and his understanding of Allah becomes correct, his Tawakkul on Allah strengthens and his resorting to Allah becomes greater. He entrusts all his affairs to Allah, and he resorts to Allah in every one of his affairs, interests and needs, both the religious and worldly affairs. The evidences from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (SAW) which order and encourage us to trust Allah, clarify the lofty status of doing so and mention the tremendous fruits and praiseworthy benefits reaped by those who trust in Allah concerning their religious and worldly affairs are numerous.

Ten Preventive Measures Against Magic and Envy By Abdur Razzaaq bin 'Abdul Muhsin al-Badr ISBN: 9781944247652 A profound lecture given by Shaykh 'Abdur Razzaaq bin 'Abdul Muhsin al-Badr, may Allah preserve him, on preventive measures against magic and envy. An excerpt from the book: Any human being is vulnerable to be tested with some kind of envy or magic, or whatever else from this sort of thing, whose (existence) and true effect on the human being have been confirmed by the textual evidence. It may take the form of a sickness, an ailment, or any kind of other distresses. And upon the occurrence of such thing, people take different healing measures in order to gain their health back and steer clear of them. Notably, if a person suffers from a desperate shortage in knowledge of the implications of the textual evidence of Qur'ān and Sunnah in addition to the company of a bad instructor, such person will certainly be the victim of superstitions and the unlimited means of misguidance. A lot of people fall for superstitions, that have notorious circulation among them, due to lack of knowledge and insight of the religion of Allāh. Superstitions, as a matter of fact, grow rampantly in an atmosphere of increasing ignorance, sins, and ailments; the more such things increase, the more rampant superstition become. In contrast, once sound knowledge, which is based on Qur'ān and Sunnah, exists, an atmosphere of welfare, uprightness, and virtue is bound to prevail; and eventually, people's affairs in this life and in the one to come shall be in the best of shape.

Ten Principles on Al-Istiqaamah By Shaykh Abdur Razzaaq Bin 'Abdil-Muhsin ISBN: 9781467518864 "Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is Allah (Alone)," and then they Istaqamu , on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised! We have been your friends in the life of this world and are (so) in the Hereafter. Therein you shall have (all) that your inner-selves desire, and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask for. An entertainment from (Allah), the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." Istiqaamah brings about hapiness in the Dunya and the Hereafter, success for the Slave and Rectification of all his affairs. Therefore it is the responsibility of the one who wishes to advise onself and desire the joy of Al-Istiqaamah to pay it great attention. This is done through knowledge, action and firmness upon that until death and by relying upon the help of Allah.

(Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time when you have given their due Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), desiring chastity (i.e., taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girl-friends."
