المسارعة في الخيرات

Hasten To Do Good

Sheikh ‘Alee al Hudaify
Rabee ath Thaani 26, 1429 ~ May 2, 2008

All praise is due to Allah.  We praise Allah, and seek His help and guidance.  We turn to Him in repentance and we put all our affairs in His hands.  We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and the evil of our bad deeds.  Indeed, whoever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whomever Allah allows to fall astray, there is none who can guide him.  I testify that there is no diety worthy of worship except Allah, the one true God who has no partner.  I also testify that Muhammad is Allah’s servant and messenger.  Oh Allah, send your abundant peace and blessing upon your servant and prophet Muhammad, his family, his companions, and whoever follows his guidance until the last day.

Oh servants of Allah, fear Allah so that you please Him.  It is the fear of Allah that purifies hearts and souls and causes you to succeed in the hereafter.  Allah says “...And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out.  And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine…whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him...and whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will expiate from him his sins, and will enlarge his reward.” [Surah Talaaq: Ayaah 2-5]

All praise be to Allah who has revealed the Book to His servant and has not placed therein any crookedness so as to warn of a severe chastisement from Him. And give glad tidings to the righteous believers who do good deeds that they shall have a good reward. [Surah Kahf: Ayaah 1-3] I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, the One True God who has no partner in worship. It is Allah who has honored the children of Adam, carried them on land and sea, provided them with good and pure things, and elevated them above many of His creatures. I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah’s servant and messenger and the best human being. He left us on the right path and only evil people deviate from this path. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon Muhammad, his family, companions, and those who follow him until the Day of Judgment.

Fellow Muslims, fear Allah and know that He watches over you wherever you are. Surely, nothing in the earth or in the heavens in hidden from Allah. It is He who shaped you in the wombs of your mothers as He pleases. There is no God but Him, the Almighty, the All Wise.

Rights of the Heart

Sheikh Usaamah al Khayyat
March 21, 2008 ~ Rabee al Awwal 14, 1429

All praise is due to Allah. We thank Him, we praise Him, and we seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and the evil of our own desires. Whomever Allah guides none can misguide, and whomever Allah lets to be led astray none can guide. I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah alone without any partners. I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon His servant and messenger Muhammad, and his family and companions.

Oh servants of Allah, fear Allah and fear the day on which you shall be returned to Allah, a day when every servant will paid back what he has earned in this world and none of you will be treated unjustly.

Death

Sheikh Salaah al Budayr
February 15, 2008 ~ Safar 8, 1429

All praise is due to Allah, the Magnificent, the Exalted. I praise Him for the favors and grace He has bestowed upon us. I bear witness that there is no God except Allah alone without any partners. He is glorified and well above being compared with anyone or anything. He is greater than any attribute of creation which will ultimately come to an end. I also bear witness that our Prophet and Leader Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is His servant and messenger, and the one who has been characterized by the best and most honored of traits and attributes. May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him, his family, and companions, the most best of companions and most honored family.

Oh Muslims, fear Allah, the Almighty, and give thanks to Allah for the favors and graces He has bestowed upon you all your life. Lessen your hopes in this life, and prepare yourselves for a sudden death, since there is no servant who has far-reaching hope except that it ends in sinful deeds. Allah says: “O you who believe! Fear Allâh and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what you do.” [Surah Hashr: Ayah 18]
