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.

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.

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.

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.
