Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 28 The Ascetic To be alone is better to sit with a bad companion. To sit with a pious companion is better than being alone Speaking what is good is better than being silent And remaining silent is better than speaking evil (Baihaqi). ...O Abu Zharr (ra) I seek refuge in Allah SWT from the devils of the Mankind & Jinn... (Ahmad). And we did make for every Prophet (as) enemies from amongst the devils of Men & of Jinn who have been inspiring one another with the golden ornamentation speech of delusion , Surah 6 v112. At the mere Mention if the pious, The Divine Mercy descends (Ahmad). O Abu Zharr (ra) Mend the ship (your character) for the sea is deep. Take all of the provisions (good deeds) for the journey is long. Lighten the load (attachment to the world) for the obstacles are difficult; And Make sincere your actions, for The Critic (SWT) is All-seeing, (Ibn Hajar rah).

Six hundred years ago, the author of this landmark work of history and religious thought—an esteemed judge, poet, and scholar in Cairo—survived the bubonic plague, which took the lives of three of his children, not to mention tens of millions of others throughout the medieval world. Holding up an eerie mirror to our own time, he reflects on the origins of plagues—from those of the Prophet Muhammad's era to the Black Death of his own—and what it means that such catastrophes could have been willed by God, while also chronicling the fear, isolation, scapegoating, economic tumult, political failures, and crises of faith that he lived through. But in considering the meaning of suffering and mass death, he also offers a message of radical hope. Weaving together accounts of evil jinn, religious stories, medical manuals, death-count registers, poetry, and the author's personal anecdotes, Merits of the Plague (Penguin, 2023), translated by Joel Blecher and Mairaj Syed, is a profound reminder that with tragedy comes one of the noblest expressions of our humanity: the practice of compassion, patience, and care for those around us. Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (1372 - 1449) was an Islamic poet, scholar and judge. Born in modern day Egypt, in his lifetime al-Asqalani authored some 150 works of history, poetry and biography, as well as many influential treatises on Islamic jurisprudence. Joel Blecher is Associate Professor of History at the George Washington University in Washington Mairaj Syed is Associate Professor of Religious Studies and the director of Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program at UC Davis.  Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

A billion women live under the shadow of Islam today (that's almost one in eight human beings walking the planet today). And all the evidence from fourteen centuries of Islamic history and theology points to the uncomfortable fact that Islam hates women.

D'après Abou Houreira (qu'Allah l'agrée), le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit: « Allah n'a pas accordé à un serviteur une chose qui est meilleure pour lui et plus large que la patience ». (Rapporté par Al Hakim et authentifié par Cheikh Albani dans Sahih Targhib n°3396).  D'après 'Alqama Ibn Qays, 'Abdallah Ibn Mas'oud (qu'Allah l'agrée) a dit : « La patience est la moitié de la foi et la certitude est la foi en entier ». (Rapporté par Tabarani et authentifié par l'imam Ibn Hajar dans Fath Al Bari 1/63 et authentifié également par Cheikh Albani dans Sahih Targhib n°3397).

Six hundred years ago, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani —an esteemed judge, poet, and scholar in Cairo— wrote “Merits of the Plague,” a landmark work of history and religious thought that looked at accounts of centuries worth of plague outbreak and their possible origins, along with explanations of why God would allow such devastation to take place. This work wasn't only theoretical but also based on experience. He survived the bubonic plague, which took the lives of three of his children, not to mention tens of millions of others throughout the medieval world. Holding up an eerie mirror to our own time, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani reflects on the origins of plagues—from those of Muhammad's era to the Black Death of his own—and what it means that such catastrophes could have been willed by God, while also chronicling the fear, isolation, scapegoating, economic tumult, political failures, and crises of faith that he lived through. But in considering the meaning of suffering and mass death, he also offers a message of radical hope. Today's guests are Joel Blecher and Mairaj Syed, editors and translators of the book into modern English. We discuss the book and how it weaves together accounts of evil jinn, religious stories, medical manuals, death-count registers, poetry, and the author's personal anecdotes. “Merits of the Plague” is a profound reminder that with tragedy comes one of the noblest expressions of our humanity: the practice of compassion, patience, and care for those around us.

Episode two hundred forty one - part four Jenn spoke to Joel Blecher and Mairaj Syed about their wonderful translation (the first in English) of Ibn Hajar's MERITS OF THE PLAGUE. We talked about translation, collaboration, and researching premodern plagues during a pandemic.

Perubahan Hakiki Jadi Solusi Oleh. Reni Adelina (Kontributor NarasiPost.com) Voice Over Talent : Nay Beiskara NarasiPost.Com-Pada 10 Agustus 2021 atau 1 Muharam 1443 H menandakan peringatan tahun baru Islam. Tahun baru bagi umat Islam bukanlah sebuah perayaan yang disambut secara euforia dengan letusan kembang api. Namun, makna tahun baru bagi umat Islam adalah aktivitas hijrah yang mengubah diri agar menjadi manusia yang lebih taat kepada Sang Pencipta. Seperti hijrahnya Rasulullah dari Mekah al-Mukarramah ke Madinah al-Munawarah merupakan momentum penting dalam perjalanan dakwah Rasulullah. Hijrah Rasulullah bukanlah karena ketakutan menghadapi perlawanan, tapi karena tekad meyakini ketaatan. Bukan sebuah kegagalan dalam dakwah, melainkan untuk memantapkan pemikiran menuju perubahan hakiki. Bukan juga karena pelarian dan ancaman tapi karena meneguhkan iman agar mendapat pertolongan Allah. Penetapan kalender tahun baru Islam ditetapkan ketika ‘Umar bin al-Khaththab menjadi Khalifah pada 13-23 H/634-644M, dengan melakukan musyawarah bersama para sahabat. Hijrah dijadikan sebagai kalender tahun baru Islam, hal ini atas usulan ‘Ali bin Abi Thalib. Alasan beliau, karena itulah hari dimana Rasulullah meninggalkan wilayah syirik. Khalifah ‘Umar pun menyetujuinya. Bahwa makna hijrah itu memisahkan antara yang haq dengan yang batil. Antara Islam dengan kekufuran (Ibn Hajar, Fath al-Bari, Juz VIII/575). Para sahabat memahami dan menetapkan 1 Muharam sebagai hari pertama di tahun baru yang merupakan hari kemenangan yang mereka dapatkan pada Bai'at Aqabah II. Bai'at yang menandai penyerahan kekuasaan dari kaum Anshar kepada Rasulullah. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa makna tahun baru pada 1 Muharam sebagai hijrah atau perubahan yang di antaranya memisahkan antara haq dan batil, sebagai tonggak berdirinya Daulah Islamiyah (Negara Islam), dan awal kebangkitan umat Islam untuk pertama kalinya.

Ibn Hajar on Mawlid celebrations

#coronavirus #corona #covid19Corona Talk (1) | Punishment on past nations | talk in Bangla Readings from the book of Ibn Hajar on Plague.watch it on youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oao5IUMXIHY

Stress is inherent in current society. Ustadh Michael Wolfender relates ‘pills are not the solution,’ though 1 in 6 Americans uses antidepressant medication. Qur’an has antidotes for stress. In Surah Al-Hijr, Allah says those who didn’t accept His message will wish they did. We are instructed to serve Allah until we reach death. Praising and declaring the perfection of Allah is a means of handling stress. And the reward for enduring this life is illustrated in Surah Fatir (translated as Originator) verses 33 - 35. Until we earn that reward, we can alleviate stress by reciting the last three surahs. Say this at night three times, blow on your hands and wipe them over your body. When a person (leaving their home) says: بسم الله توكلت على الله ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله “In the name of Allah, I have placed my trust in Allah, and there is no opportunity and no power except with Allah,” the Angels reply: ‘You have been protected, you have been sufficed, you have been guided.’In Surah An-Nahl (translated as The Bee) verse 97, we learn by performing good deeds and keeping faith, Allah will make sure such a believer has a happy life. Finally, whoever feels some sort of stress and says the following dua, Allah will remove it and turn it into happiness:Oh Allah, I am Your slave, the son of Your slave, my forelock is at Your hand, Your decision is a done deal for me, Your decree is fair to me. I asked You by all Your names, that You have given Yourself, that You have revealed in Your Book, or that You have taught any of Your creation, or that You have kept secret with You in Your knowledge of the Unseen, that You make the Qur'an the spring (joy) of my heart, the light of my chest, the relief of my sadness, and the removal of my worries.اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي[This related in Musnad Ahmed, rated sound by Ibn Hajar and by al-Albani]Support the show (http://www.goodtreeacademy.org/donate?id=pd)

This podcast is important, and it will address three things related to the signs of the hour. The first deals with the authenticity of a text, while the second deals with the principles needed to understand what scholars called transmission related to the signs of the Hour or the transmission of trials. That will formulate what we will talk in this podcast. Our second podcast will address the order of the signs in brevity, inshallah. General Principle for engaging hadith related to this subject. الاقتصار في التنزيل على نصوص الوحيين, والتأكد من صحتها لفظاً ومعنى “The signs of the hour are restricted to revelation while ensuring their soundness and correct understanding.” a) Their Soundness – Meaning the Hadith is authentic فُسْطَاطُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ الْمَلْحَمَةِ الْغُوطَةُ، إِلَى جَانِبِ مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: دِمَشْقُ There are four narrations of this hadith Abu Darda – it is not strong because between the companion who narrated is not mentioned. There is a connected narration of it, but it is weak because of a weak narrator, Ibn Abi Maryam The Hadith of Muadh – It has narrators well known for lying, and some of them were even considered abandoned. The hadith of Abu Huraira – It is extremely weak for some reason There is some confusion about this narration, some claiming it is sahih. However, this is a mistake in combining two narrations, one narrative that does not state anything about Ghuta is sahih, while the other narration that does, as noted above is weak. An extension of an authentic hadith is the opinions of the companions on issues that are related to the unseen. This includes the companion’s explanations and thoughts on issues where personal opinion is impossible. Meaning, their opinion rested on revelation. Ibn Hajar wrote, والحق أن ضابط ما يفسره الصحابي إن كان مما لا مجال للاجتهاد فيه, فحكمه الرفع وإلا فلا، كالإخبار عن الأمور الماضية من بدء الخلق وقصص الأنبياء, وعن الأمور الآتية كالملاحم والفتن والبعث وصفة الجنة والنار, والإخبار عن عمل يحصل به ثواب مخصوص أو عقاب مخصوص، فهذه الأشياء لا مجال للاجتهاد فيها فيحكم لها بالرفع “The correct principle in this regard is that explanation of the companions, specifically regarding issues where personal opinion is impossible ….such as events from the past, like the beginning of creation, stories of previous prophets, prophecy related to fitna, resurrection, the description of paradise and hell, and actions that bring about specific rewards or punishments. Those type of things to not permit opinions, so they are considered something taught to them by the Prophets (sa).” If a Hadith is acceptable, then it must be interpreted correctly, not in a sloppy way or in a way that makes its application impossible. The First Principle أن الأصل في تنزيل أحاديث الفتن على الأزمان والأشخاص الرد “Its is not allowed to apply prophetic hadith about the end of times to specific times, places and people.” That does not mean we reject the application of those hadith, nor should we be taxed in their application. What it means is that their application is guided by the scholars. During the Prophet’s time, there were a group of companions who thought it was a man named Ibn al-Sayyad, some even swearing so. During the time of Hajjaj, Asma said, حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ فِى ثَقِيفٍ كَذَّابًا وَمُبِيرًا, فَأَمَّا الْكَذَّابُ فَرَأَيْنَاهُ وَأَمَّا الْمُبِيرُ فَلاَ إِخَالُكَ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ أَمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ “The Prophet (sa) told us that from the tribe of Thaqif there would appear a liar and a ruined person. We have seen the liar. As for the ruined person, you are in no confusion regarding him.” Imam al-Nawwawi noted that scholars agree the liar was al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi, who claimed Gabriel came to him, while the ruined person was al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf for obvious reasons. A recent example is scholars interpreting the hadith, وَيَتَقَارَبَ الزَّمَانُ “From the signs of the hour, time will move quickly.” The Second Principle الأصل حمل النصِّ على ظاهره “The literal meaning of a text is the default of interpretation, while the figurative meaning is an exception.” Perhaps the greatest misapplication of this is the hadith, “The hour will not start until the sun rises from the West.” Scholars, old and new agree that this is a literal hadith. Recently, however, some people have claimed it is converted from the West. Another example was that the Dajjal was laptop computers. Both interpretations run contrary to the scholarly consensus, and even if someone tried to apply the principle of an explicit or implicit meaning, have no support. The Third Principle أن يكون التنزيل بعيداً عن التكلُّف “The interpretation is not overly complicated or burdensome.” Meaning: it is not a stretch or places an unreasonable burden on people to understand. See the example above. There are some principles related to religious responsibilities: They are not beyond people’s scope, they are not overly difficult to understand, and they don’t cause harm. The Fourth Principle التحقق من طبيعة الواقعة واستكمالها للأوصاف الواردة في النصّ “Verifying that a situation, time place or person completely agrees with they text.” There are three conditions for a text related to the end of times: the text the situation the action that should take place during that period. For texts related to the end of time to be matched with a given period or person, all three must align completely. That implies that first, there must be a match tatabuq, and second, a person cannot be ignorant of the optics – jahil. فإذا لم يكن هناك تطابق بين الواقع الحاصل وبين جميع أوصاف النصّ لم يصح التنزيل حينئذٍ, فلا يصح جهل شيء من أجزاء الواقع “If there is no corroboration between the time and the text in regards to every description in the text, then it is not allowed to apply it to that situation, nor is it allowed to be ignorant of the situation.” An example of this is the sloppy application of the dajjal and the sun rising from the west, and is often applied to the coming of Imam Mehdi. Is there an example of its application? لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ التُّرْكَ قَوْمًا كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمْ الْمَجَانُّ الْمُطْرَقَةُ، يَلْبَسُونَ الشَّعْرَ، وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الشَّعْر “The Last Hour would not come until the Muslims fight with the Turks-a people whose faces would be like hammered shields wearing clothes of hair and walking (with shoes) of hair.” Imam al-Nawwawi wrote, وهذه كلها معجزات لرسول الله فقد وجِدَ قتال هؤلاء الترك بجميع صفاتهم التي ذكرها..... فوجدوا بهذه الصفات كلها في زماننا “All of those (narrations about this) are miracles of the Prophet (sa). The fighting with the Turks has occurred, and they had every description the Prophet (sa) mentioned….thus we find every one of those descriptions of them applicable and present.” Another recent example, “Tall buildings.” The Fifth Principle ومراجعة أهل العلم Extenuating this is a wonderful narration from Hafs ibn Ghayyath. He noticed that people were stating that the Mehid had come so he asked Sufyan al-Thawri (ra) who responded, يا أبا عَبْد الله إن الناس قد أكثروا في المهدي فما تقول فيه؟ قال: إن مرَّ على بابك فلا تكن منه في شيء حتى يجتمع الناس عليه Signs of Sloppiness Misplacing the order of something. Not collecting all the relevant hadith about a subject The Sixth Principle لا تعجل الأشراط لتسرع ما بعدها It is not allowed to try and rush the a sign of the Hereafter, hoping for another one that comes after it.”

Explanation of the 37th hadith in the Heart Therapy Series:The Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: (Who will take these statements from me to apply them or teach them to one who will apply them?) Abu Hurairah said: (I shall O Messenger of Allah.) So he took my hand and enumerated five and said: (Avoid the unlawful and you will be the best worshipper among people. Be satisfied with what Allah allotted for you and you will be the richest of people. Be kind to your neighbor and you will be a believer. Love for the people what you love for yourself and you will be a Muslim. And do not laugh too much, for indeed excessive laughter kills the heart.)Reported by al-Tirmidhi (2305) and ibn Majah (4217). Ibn Hajar declared it to be hasan and so did al-Albani (al-Silsilah al-Sahihah 930). قالَ رسول اللهِ ﷺ: (مَنْ يَأْخُذُ عَنِّي هؤُلاءِ الكَلِماتِ فَيَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ أَوْ يُعَلِّمُ مَنْ يعمَلُ بِهِنَّ) فقالَ أبو هريرةَ قلتُ أنا يا رسولُ اللهِ فأخَذَ بيدِي فَعَدَّ خمْسًا وقال: (اتَّقِ المَحارِمَ تَكُنْ أَعْبَدَ النَّاسِ وارْضَ بما قَسَمَ اللهُ لَكَ تكُنْ أَغْنَى النَّاسِ وأحْسِنْ إلى جارِكَ تكُنْ مُؤمِنًا وأَحِبَّ للنَّاسِ ما تُحِبُّ لنِفْسِكَ تَكُنْ مُسلِمًا وَلَا تُكْثِر الضَّحِكَ فإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الضَّحِكِ تُمِيتُ القَلْبَ) رواه الترمذي (2305) وابن ماجه (4217) وحسنه ابن حجر والألباني (السلسلة الصحيحة 930

Explanation of the 36th hadith in the Heart Therapy Series:A man complained to the Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam about the hardness of his heart so he said: (Wipe over the head of the orphan and feed the poor.)Reported by Ahmad (7576) and al-Bayhaqi in Shu‘ab al-Iman (10523) and al-Sunan al-Kubra (7094). Ibn Hajar declared it to be hasan and so did al-Albani (Sahih al-Targhib 2545).شَكا رَجَلٌ إلى رسولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَسْوَةَ قَلْبِهِ فَقالَ: (امْسَحْ رَأْسَ اليَتيمِ وأَطْعِم المِسْكينَ)رواه أحمد (7576) والبيهقي في شعب الإيمان (10523) والسنن الكبرى (7094) وحسنه ابن حجر في فتح الباري والألباني (صحيح الترغيب 2545

Explanation of the 31st hadith in Heart Therapy Series:The Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: (May Allah beautify the face of someone who hears my words and conveys them, for there may be a carrier of knowledge that lacks understanding and a carrier of knowledge to another who has more understanding than he does. There are three things because of which no hatred will be in the heart of a Muslim: sincerity to Allah in action, advice to Muslim leaders, and adhering to the Muslim jama'ah, for indeed their du'a includes all of them.)Reported by Ahmad (13350), ibn Majah (3056), and al-Tirmidhi (2658). Ibn Hajar, al-Albani (al-Silsilah al-Sahihah 404), and al-Wadi‘i (al-Sahih al-Musnad 358) declared it to be sahih.قالَ رسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: (نضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مَقالَتِي فَبَلَّغَها فَرُبَّ حامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَيْرُ فَقيهٍ ورُبَّ حامِلِ فِقهٍ إلى مَن هوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنهُ ثَلاثٌ لا يَغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إخْلاصُ العَمَلِ لِلَّهِ والنُّصْحُ لِأَئِمَّةِ المُسلِمينَ ولُزومُ جَماعَتِهِم فإنَّ دَعْوَتَهُم تُحِيطُ مَنْ وَرائَهُم) رواه أحمد (13350) وابن ماجة (3056) واللفظ له والترمذي (2658) وصححه ابن حجر والألباني (السلسلة الصحيحة 404) والوادعي (الصحيح المسند 358

Explanation of the 26 hadith in the Heart Therapy Series:The Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam used to make this dua:(My Rabb, aid me and do not aid against me, grant me victory and do not grant victory over me, plot for me and do not plot against me, guide me and facilitate guidance for me, and grant me victory over those who transgress against me. My Rabb, make me to You ever-grateful, of You ever-remembering, to You ever-fearful and ever-obedient, to You ever-humble, to You oft-regretful and returning. My Rabb, accept my repentance, wash my sin away, confirm my proof, guide my heart, straighten my tongue, and remove the blackness of my heart.)Reported by al-Nasa’i in al-Sunan al-Kubra (10552) and al-Tirmidhi (3551) and Abu Dawud (1510). Ibn Hajar declared it to be hasan, and ibn al-Qayyim, Ahmad Shakir, and al-Albani declared it to be sahih (Sahih al-Tirmidhi 3551)كانَ رسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يدعو بِهَذا الدُّعاءِ: (رَبِّ أَعِنِّي ولا تُعِنْ عَليَّ وانْصُرْني ولا تَنْصُرْ عَليَّ وامْكُرْ لي ولا تَمْكُرْ عليَّ واهْدِني ويَسِّرِ الهُدَى لِي وانصُرْني على من بَغَى عليَّ رَبِّ اجْعَلْني لَكَ شَكَّارًا لَكَ ذَكَّارًا لَكَ رَهَّابًا مِطواعًا إليكَ مُخْبِتًا لَكَ أوَّاهًا مُنيبًا ربِّ تَقَبَّل تَوْبَتِي واغْسِلْ حَوْبَتي وثَبِّتْ حُجَّتي واهْدِ قَلْبي وسَدِّدْ لِساني واسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبي)رواه النسائي في السنن الكبرى (10552 طبعة دار التأصيل) والترمذي (3551) وأبو داود (1510) وحسنه ابن حجر وصححه ابن القيم وأحمد شاكر والألباني (صحيح الترمذي 3551

Praise be to Allaah.     The blessing of time is one of the greatest blessings that Allaah can bestow upon His slaves. Allaah even swears by time in some cases, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):  “By Al‑‘Asr (the time)” [al-‘Asr 103:1]  - because of the importance and blessing of time.   And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Make the most of five things before five others: life before death, health before sickness, free time before becoming busy, youth before old age, and wealth before poverty.” See Saheeh al-Jaami', no. 1077.  But most people are unaware of the importance of this blessing and are neglectful of their duties towards it, namely to fill it with acts of gratitude and obedience towards Allaah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are two blessings which many people do not make the most of and thus lose out: good health and free time.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6412.  Al-Teebi said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) likened the Muslim (who is accountable for his deeds) to a merchant who has capital and seeks to make a profit whilst also preserving his capital. The way to do that is to look for the right people to deal with and he himself will be honest and will try to be smart lest he be cheated. Good health and free time are our capital, and we should deal with Allaah with faith, striving against the evil inclinations of our nafs and the enemy of religion i.e., the Shaytaan, so that we may attain the best in this world and in the Hereafter. This is similar to what is mentioned in the passage where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):  “Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful torment?” [al-Saff 61:10]  We should avoid following the dictates of the nafs and keep away from the Shaytaan lest we lose both our capital and our profit.  Fath al-Baari by Ibn Hajar.  If time is so important, then the Muslim should not have any free time, for he should be going from one act of worship and obedience to another. If he cannot spend all his time going from one act of obedience and worship to another then, he may spend some of his time in permissible pursuits, in which he should ensure that his intention is correct, so that he may earn reward thereby, as Mu'aadh (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I get up and I sleep, and I hope for the same when I sleep as I hope for when I get up.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6923; Muslim, 1854.  The problem that the sister is suffering from is caused by several things:  Firstly: she does not understand the value of time. This is true of many people, as stated above. Even worse than that, by neglecting this great blessing, her spare time has become something destructive, and she regards it as an enemy that she wants to kill, but she does not realize that she is killing herself.   Secondly: she feels depressed. There is no doubt that wasting one's time and one's life causes deep depression in man, because he feels that he is like an animal that eats so it can sleep, and sleeps so it can eat. Hence we see many disbelievers ended their life by suicide, after being afflicted by depression and other incurable diseases – may Allaah keep us safe and sound from that with which He has tested them. One of the primary causes of depression is disobedience towards Allaah. Undoubtedly wasting time watching TV leads a person to commit sin, such as watching and listening to haraam things, wasting time, and other things caused by this evil machine. The benefits that the sister gains by joining a halaqah for memorizing Qur'aan are largely cancelled out, if not erased entirely, by sitting in front of the TV. Just as good deeds erase bad deeds, bad deeds cause good deeds to be lost.  [You can refer to the Books section of this website; in Dealing with Worries and Stress you will find more details about the causes of worry and how to overcome them.

Robert Kevin Jaques‘ work, Ibn Hajar: Makers of Islamic Civilization (I. B. Tauris, 2013), focuses on the life of one of the most eminent Muslim scholars, Ibn Ḥajar al-‘AsqalānÄ« (d. 852/1449). Jaques provides his readers with a concise yet intimate biography of this great scholar based on the accounts of his students, chiefly the al-Jawāhir of al-SakhāwÄ«, and works penned by Ibn Ḥajar himself. Beginning life as an orphan, Ibn Ḥajar rose to the most prominent academic position as the chief Shāfi‛ī judge of the Egyptian MamlÅ«k system. His accomplishment made all the more remarkable as he had to contest with countless political machinations and personal tragedies including the death of many of his children. While many of Ibn Ḥajar’s contemporary’s rose and fell due to their inability to successfully navigate the ever changing political landscape, Jaques ascribes Ibn Ḥajar’s longevity and lasting legacy to his enchanting personality, religious devotion, and inimitable acumen; qualities often ignored or downplayed by social historians studying the political intrigues of MamlÅ«k society. Jaques discusses the significance of Ibn Ḥajar’s historical and biographical texts, such as the Inbā’ al-ghumr bi-anbā’ al-‘umr and al-Durar al-kāmina, but he devotes much time to Ibn Ḥajar’s massive commentary on al-BukhārÄ«’s Ṣāḥīḥ, Fatḥ al-bārÄ«. The study of ḥadÄ«th became Ibn Ḥajar’s way to combat personal losses and the constant threat of plague; phenomena which he believed were not occasions of Divine retribution for the transgressions of the community. Excellent in its composition and structure, Makers of Islamic Civilization: Ibn Ḥajar is a book which will benefit both the novice and expert in the study of Islam. Learn more about your ad choices.
