This video discusses a poem that deeply affected Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, exploring themes of shame in disobeying Allah, the world as a test, hiding sins, the afterlife, and seeking Allah's forgiveness. Mufti Abdur Rahman covers the famous poem which is related to have made Imam Ahmad cry. Poem: I will be asked, what have I sent forth in my life to save me So what will I answer, after I've been neglectful in my faith Woe to me, did I not hear the words of Allah calling out to me? Did I not heed what has come in Qāf and Yasīn Did I not hear of the day of gathering, of assembly and retribution? Did I not hear the caller of death Calling me, summoning me So my lord, this is a slave who has come repenting, Who shall grant me refuge, Other than a generous forgiving Lord, To the truth he will guide me I have come to You, so have mercy on me, and make heavy my scales And lighten my reckoning, for you are the best of those to reckon with me If my Lord asks me "Have you no shame in disobeying me? You hide your sins from my created beings Yet full of disobedience you come to Me" So how will I answer? Woe to me, Who shall protect me? I keep distracting my soul With false hopes from one time to the next And I forget what is to come after death, What is there after I am wrapped in my shroud As if I am guaranteed to live forever, And that death will never come to me Then the harsh pangs of death overtake me, Who will now protect me? I look at the faces, is there not among them one who will ransom me?

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 37 The Battle of Siffeen Hafiz Ibn Kathir (rah) had related, Some of the men who had been present at Badr stayed in their dwellings after the murder of Hadrat Uthmaan (ra) and never left until they went to their graves. (Al Bidaayah) Ash-Sha`bee (rah) had related, "Only a few Companions were present at the Battle of the Camel Hadrat Alee (ra), Hadrat Am'maar (ra), Hadrat Talha (ra) and Hadrat Zubayr (ra) (Ibn Abi Shaihbah). Abdullah ibn Ahmad (rah) related from his father Imam Ahmad (rah) who related from Ismaa'eel ibn Aaliyah (rah) who related from Ay'yoob as- Sakthtiyaanee (rah) who related from Muhammad ibn Seereen (rah), "When the Fitnah arose, the Glorious Companions numbered in there tens of thousands - yet less than a mere hundred got involved indeed their number was barely thirty." (Ahmad - Musnad "This Chain is one of the soundest Chains on the face of the earth and Muhammad ibn Seereen [rah] is one of the most pious people in his speech and his reports are the soundest). Alee (ra) stared "How smart was the stance taken by Sa'ad ibn Maalik (ra) and Abdullah ibn Umar (ra) for if it is correct, the reward will be great and if wrong then the consequence will not be serious." (Al-Haithami Majma Az-zawaa'id). "The Messenger ﷺ said to Am'maar (ra) whilst digging the ditch, as he ﷺ began to pass his hand over his head - in love and affection. "What a trouble to the son of Sumayyah (raa)! A rebellious party will kill you!" (Muslim).

Dalam Islam, menghindari sikap menggerutu atau mengeluh adalah ajaran yang ditekankan dalam Al-Qur'an dan Sunnah. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala berfirman dalam Al-Qur'an Surat Al-Baqarah ayat 286: "Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya." Hal ini mendorong umat Islam untuk bersabar dan ridha dalam menghadapi segala cobaan. Rasulullah Muhammad Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam juga mencontohkan sikap sabar dan syukur dalam situasi apapun. Dalam sebuah hadits yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad, Rasulullah bersabda, "Mengagumkan urusan orang mukmin, sesungguhnya semua urusannya baik, jika ia mendapat kesenangan ia bersyukur karena itu baik baginya, dan jika ia ditimpa kesusahan ia bersabar karena itu baik baginya." Oleh karena itu, umat Islam dianjurkan untuk tidak menggerutu dan selalu bersikap positif serta penuh keimanan terhadap takdir yang telah ditetapkan oleh Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala

Bienfaits et mérites du mois de Ramadan - Imam Ahmad DIOP by XamSaDine

The Cleaving in Sunder [1] ( الانفطار, al-infiṭār, also known as "The Cleaving" and "Bursting Apart") is the 82nd sura of the Quran, with 19 ayat. The chapter is named 'Al-Infitar' because of the occurrence of the word 'unfatarat' in the first verse of this chapter. Infitar means 'split asunder': the word 'Unfatarat' is used in this chapter in order to describe the splitting of the sky on the day of Judgment. This chapter (Al-Infitar), along with chapters At-Takwir and Al-Inshiqaq, provides an exhaustive description about the 'Day of Judgment'. Summary 1-5 Signs of the Judgement Day 6-9 Astonishing unbelief of man in his Creator 10-12 Guardian angels record the deeds of men 13-16 In the judgment the righteous shall be rewarded and the wicked punished 17-19 On the day of judgment there shall be no intercessor [2] Hadith The first and foremost exegesis/tafsir of the Qur'an is found in hadith of prophet Muhammad.[3] Although scholars including ibn Taymiyyah claim that Muhammad has commented on the whole of the Qur'an, others including Ghazali cite the limited amount of narratives, thus indicating that he has commented only on a portion of the Qur'an.[4] Ḥadīth (حديث) is literally "speech" or "report", that is a recorded saying or tradition of Muhammad validated by isnad; with Sirah Rasul Allah these comprise the sunnah and reveal shariah. According to Aishah,[5][6] the life of Prophet Muhammad was practical implementation of Qur'an.[7][8][9] Therefore, mention in hadith elevates the importance of the pertinent surah from a certain perspective. Imam Ahmad recorded from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever wishes to look at the Day of Resurrection, as if he is seeing it with this eye, then let him recite: 'When the sun Kuwwirat' (At-Takwir) and 'When the heaven is cleft sunder (Al-Infitar) and 'When the heaven is split asunder (Al-Inshiqaq)'."[10][11][12] It was narrated that Jabir said: "Muadh stood up and prayed Isha', and made it lengthy. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Do you want to cause hardship to the people, O Mu'adh; do you want to cause hardship to the people O Mu'adh? Why didn't you recite 'Glorify the Name of your Lord Most High' (Al-Ala or Ad-Dhuha) or 'When the heaven is cleft asunder' (Al-Infitar)?"[13][14]

At-Takwīr (Arabic: التكوير, literally "The Turning Into a Sphere") is the eighty-first chapter (sura) of the Qur'an, with 29 verses (ayat). It tells about signs of the coming of the day of judgement. Some of these signs include the following: (a) When the sun is covered in darkness (solar eclipse), (b) When the stars fall, (c) And when the mountains vanish (blown away), (d) When the camels big with young are abandoned. (e) And when the wild beasts are herded together (f) And when the seas rise, (g) And when the souls are sorted, (h) And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked, (i) For what crime she was killed? (j) And when the books [records of deeds] are open, (k) And when the sky is torn away, (l) And when Hell is set ablaze, (m) And when Paradise draws near, (n) Then every Soul shall know what it has done. Summary 1-14 The terrible signs of the judgment-day 15-25 Oaths that the Quran is the word of Allah, and that Muhammad is neither a madman nor deluded by the devil 26-29 The Quran an admonition to all men [1] Hadith Whoever wants to see the Qiyamah with his/her eyes should read the verses of at-Takwir, al-Infitar and al-Inshiqaq.” [2][3] Imam Ahmad recorded from Ibn Umar that Muhammad said: “Whoever wishes to look at the Day of Resurrection, as if he is seeing it with this eye, then let him recite: ‘When the sun Kuwwirat'(At-Takwir) and ‘When the heaven is cleft sunder (Al-Infitar) and ‘When the heaven is split asunder.(Al-Inshiqaq)'”[4][5][6] It was narrated that Umar ibn Horayth said: "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting: 'When the sun is wound round.' in fajr. (at-Takwir (81:1)) "[7] Sahabah reported[8] that Muhammad used to recite surahs An-Naba (78) and Al-Mursalat (77) in one rak'ah, and surahs Ad-Dukhan (44) and At-Takwir (81) in one rak'ah.[9][10]

Al-Mulk الملك, "Sovereignty, Kingdom") is the 67th chapter of the Quran, comprising 30 verses The surah emphasizes that no individual can impose his will on another; he may only guide and set an example (67:26) 1-3 Praise to the Almighty, the Creator and Ruler of all things 3-5 The perfection of the works of God, seen in the heavens, glorify him 5 We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and have made them missiles with which to pelt the devils; and We have prepared for them the punishment of the raging fire 6-8 Torments of hell prepared for unbelievers 8-11 Infidels shall confess in hell their folly in calling Muhammad an impostor 12 Verily those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and a great reward. 13-14 God knoweth all things 15-18 God shall destroy unbelievers 19-24 Unbelievers ungrateful to the God who sustains them in life 25-28 They challenged the Prophet to hasten the judgment-day, but they shall dread its approach 29-30 The Merciful the only protector on that day[4] Al-Mulk, 23-24 “He is the One Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. ˹Yet˺ you hardly give any thanks.” (67:23) Allah it is Who multiplied you in the earth and to Him you will be mustered (67:24) Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah that Muhammad said,"Verily, there is a chapter in the Quran which contains thirty Ayat that will intercede on behalf of its reciter until he is forgiven. (It is): 'Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion. ( Al-Mulk 67)'"[12][13][14] Muhammad said, 'There is a surah in the Quran which is only thirty verses. It defends whoever recites it until it puts him into Jannah'[15] Anas ibn Malik reported Muhammad as saying, "There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it causes him to enter paradise."[16] Muhammad said, 'Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave'[17] Jabir said it was the custom of not to go to sleep until he had read Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk(Al-Mulk) and Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel (As-Sajda).[18] He used to recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Mulk (in Arabic) before sleeping.[19] Khalid bin Madam said about surat Al Mulk and As-Sajda that these two surahs will fight for their reciter in the grave and will say, 'O Allah! If we belong to Your book, accept our intercession in his favour. In case we do not, get us obliterated. These surahs will spread their wings like birds and will save the person from the torment of the grave.'[22] It was narrated that Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud said: Whoever reads Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk [i.e. Surah al-Mulk] every night, Allah will protect him from the torment of the grave. At the time of the Messenger of Allah, we used to call it al-mani'ah (that which protects). In the Book of Allah it is a surah which, whoever recites it every night has done very well.[23][24] Abdullah ibn Masud is reported to have said, 'A man will be approached in his grave from his legs and from his chest and then from his head. And each time this Surah will defend him by saying, 'You cannot do anything to him, he used to recite Surah Mulk'.' Abdullah ibn Masud further states, 'It is called, 'Al-maani'ah'. For it protects from the punishment of the grave.'[25] Ibn Umar said that once that Muhammad recited verse 2 (the One Who created death and life so that He may test you as to which of you is better in deeds) and when he reached the words "better in deeds", he stopped and explained that 'better in deeds' is the person who abstains most from the things Allah has forbidden and is always ready to obey Him." There is a surah (chapter) in the Quran which consists of thirty verses which will keep interceding about a man until he is forgiven. The Surah is Tabarak Allazi Biyadihi al-Mulk i.e. ‘Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the Kingdome'. Surah Mulk has multiple benefits and Virtues, even it is one of the most beneficial chapters of Qur'an spiritually and theoritically

La femme voilée : la pudeur, une vertu essentielle - Imam Ahmad DIOP by XamSaDine

In this episode we discuss Allah's name Al Mumin, as The Ultimate Testifier of Truth, The One Who Inspires and Confirms faith in others, and The One Who Grants peace and security to the believers. The following dua is included towards the end of the episode: Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Sa`id, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "On the day of Al-Khandaq, we said: `O Messenger of Allahﷺ, is there anything we should say, for our hearts have reached our throats' (meaning in fear and anxiety) Heﷺsaid: «نَعَمْ، قُولُوا: *اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِنَا وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِنَا*» (Yes, say: *O Allah, cover our weak points and calm our fears*) Then Allah struck the faces of the enemy with the wind, and defeated them with the wind. This was also recorded by Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal from Abu `Amir Al-`Aqadi. - From the Tafsir of Surah Al Ahzab in Tafsir Ibn Katheer

Mérites et bienfaits du mois de Ramadan - Imam Ahmad DIOP by XamSaDine

This episode covers the macro and micro elements associated with producing deliberate communities. How do Muslims construct deliberate communities? How has industrialization lead to the pandemic of loneliness on a grand scale? How do we curate culture organically? How does Islam function in an urban vs. suburban setting? These are some of the questions that Imam Ahmad Deeb and Ahmed Askary discussed with Nihal Khan. They also touched on how Istanbul is a microcosm of the problems of the ummah, the power of Islam in urban environments, and how we can move communities past dysfunction and rivalry, through processing the past and being mercifully honest with each other. Imam Ahmad Deeb is the co-founder of Itqaan Institute and Pillars Seminary. He studied the Islamic sciences under his father Shaykh Abdullah Deeb and with scholars in South Africa. He holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a MA in Islamic Studies and Leadership from the Bayan Islamic Graduate School. His PhD research is focusing on community development in American mosques. Ahmed Askary is co-founder of a stealth permanent capital organization and resides in Istanbul.

Explanation of the Foundations of the Sunnah of Imam Ahmad (1) Intro & following the Sahabah

Assalamu alaykum,As I pursue my own spiritual journey, I want to hear from those who have taken this path before me. This podcast focuses on them and listening to their stories — uninterrupted. My name is Hebah Masood and I invite you to reflect on the trajectories of their lives, and the guidance and blessings provided by Allah swt along that journey.Imam Ahmad Deeb's grandfather Dr. Sheikh Ramadan Deeb, one of the oldest living scholars in Damascus, is a renowned Syrian scholar who built important bridges between western and eastern scholarship. Imam Deeb grew up watching his father Shaykh Abdallah Deeb lead a Muslim community in Orlando, Florida.But, even though he was born into a family of Muslim scholars, Imam Deeb struggled as a teenager seeking answers to fundamental questions about religion.It wasn't until university when he began attending a local halaqa and listening online to Shaykh Hamza Yusuf that Imam Deeb felt his mind and his heart begin to find a connection to Islam. Upon graduation he turned his focus to seeking knowledge at a higher level. Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya al-Husayni al-Ninowy, a family friend, invited him to join a Madina Institute pilot program he was starting in South Africa. Imam Ahmad Deeb spent a year at the Madina Institute in Cape Town. When he returned he continued studying with local scholars, including his father, and began a Masters in Islamic Studies at Bayan Islamic Graduate School in Claremont, California.Today, Imam Ahmad Deeb is the imam at Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, located in one of the oldest muslim communities in North America. He is the co-founder of Pillars Seminary alongside Shaykh Ismail Bowers, which focuses on teaching the foundational Islamic sciences to busy professionals, as well as the co-founder of Itqaan Institute, dedicated to developing love of God through a relationship and mastery of reciting Qur'an, with his father as the primary teacher and leader.In this episode he talks about Muslims who are seeking answers to fundamental questions about their religion. He advises them to seek out reliable teachers of Islamic knowledge and spend time reflecting on any potential barriers they may have to a relationship with Allah SWT.His story intersects with many familiar names: Shaykh Ramadan Deeb, Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya al-Ninowy, Shaykh Abdallah Deeb, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Dr. Sherman Jackson, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad / Timothy J. Winter, Shaykh Jihad Hashim Brown, Shaykh Ismail Bowers, Ustadh Arthur Richards Jr., Dr. Ali Shahata, Imam Mohamed Masri.-Also available on most other major podcast streaming services including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox and Podbay.-Do you enjoy this podcast?
