Khutbah - Four Characteristics For Salvation - Abu Muadh Taqweem Aslam

Explanation of the Verse in Surah An-Nisa' Containing Ten Rights

Enter into Islam Wholeheartedly — Abū Ukkāshah ‘Abdul Hakeem

• O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan. Verily! He is to you a plain enemy. [Sūrah al-Baqarah, 208]

— Imām as-Si’dī about entering Islām fully and not obeying lowly desires. 

• All the Prophets and Messengers called to the worship of Allaah and staying away from worshipping besides Him.

 
• O you who believe! Answer Allah and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life [Sūrah al-Anfāl, 24]

— Benefits mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim about this ayah. 

• Shaykh al-Fawzān on the musāra’ah, constant war, between a person and Shaytaan; ends only when the both feet of a person in Paradise.

• Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Sūrah āl-Imrān, 19]

— Benefits mentioned by Ibn Kathīr about this ayah. 

• The two types of Ummah — ar-Risaalah and al-Ijaabah.

• The story of the Jewish boy on his  deathbed and tears of the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم.

• Ibn al-Qayyim on the 4 Pillars of disbelief — Kibr, Ghibtah, Ghadab and Shahwah. 

• Ibrāhīm and Ya’qūb عليهما السلام advising their children to enter the religion wholeheartedly. 

• When Ibrāhīm was commanded to sacrifice his son Ismā’īl عليهما السلام. Details of the submission of Ibrāhīm compared to the much lesser submission we have to make.

• How quick the Companions were to submit; response of ‘Umar رضي الله عنه when the verse was revealed to abandon intoxicants.

• Intoxicants and the 10 cursed regarding them. Gambling and it’s dangers.

• Ā’ishah رضي الله عنها about how the Muhājirāt responded when the āyāt about Khimār/Hijāb were revealed.

Advices on how to enter Islām wholeheartedly:

• Being humble upon the truth when it comes to you. 

• If sincere advice comes from a person who is not sincere, then accept it. Example of Bilqīs, the queen of Sheeba. And Mūsā and Hārūn عليهما السلام and sorcerers.

• Having certainty in resurrection, accountability and reward. Example of man in Sūrah Kahf who did not believe his garden would perish or that the Hour would be established.

• Not to constantly look to this worldly life, nor to be amazed by it. Brief enjoyments of this world and what they consist of. 

• To fear the misguidance after guidance. Du’ā of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when he would leave his home.

• To fear an evil end. What leads to an evil end, mentioned by Ibn Rajab.

• To understand the blessing of this religion. Narration of ‘Umar رضي الله عنه that Allaah ennobled us through Islaam. 

— Narration of Ibn al-Mubārak that dying upon the Sunnah is a miracle - and how this applies more in this time.

• To be different, distinct and oppose the Mushrikeen and open sinners who will be fuel for the hell fire. Narration about Muslims following the Jews and Christians.

• To turn to the Book of Allaah and stay away from the Quraan of the Shaytaan. Ibn al-Qayyim on the specific effects of music, how it cannot combine in a single heart with love of the Book of Allaah and how it is comparable to intoxicants.

• To never stop the fight with Shaytaan. Do not say “eventually” you will do good deeds because that day may not come. Ibn al-Qayyim on how if Shaytaan is able to misguide a person when they are at their strongest in terms of senses and faculties, so what about at point of death?

• To return back to our lord like a slave running back to obedience of his master, and not be the captive of our desires. 

• To make our tongue moist with the remembrance of Allaah and the limbs active in the obedience of Allaah.

04 - Al-Hāfidh an-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith - Ustādh Abu 'Inaayah Seif - The Levels of the Religion Part 2

Class 95 The Book of Faith from Sahih Muslim by Shaykh Hamzah Abdur Razzaq

Hadith 3 umdatul ahkam:
-Narrated ‘Abdullaah bin ‘Amr ibnu-l’Aas and Abu Hurayrah and ‘Aa’ishah (May Allaah be pleased with them), who said that Allaah’s Apostle (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Woe to dry heels because of Hellfire.” [Sahih Muslim, Book 002, Number 0473]

⁃ An individual must cover all of the limbs when performing wudhu 
⁃ ‘Woe’ - a wording of warning 
⁃ ‘The heels’ - by missing the heels during wudhu could be a reason for you to enter the hell fire due to the fact that you have not completed the wudhu
⁃ ‘From the fire’ - the hellfire in the akhirah 
⁃ The purification is one of the most important pillar of salah so leaving off something from it means your salah has not been corrected
⁃ Washing is the feet is obligatory and only the Shia opposite it
⁃ Each of the limbs have to be washed comprehensively 
⁃ The recompense is from the same form of action in itself 
⁃ Neglecting the heels during wudhu can lead to your legs being dipped into the hellfire
⁃ Conserve the water that you use during wudhu 
⁃ Using so much water can lead to you being complacent but not reaching all the limbs

Hadith 4: 

⁃ On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (May Allaah be pleased with him), that Allaah’s Apostle (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,
“If anyone of you performs ablution he should put water in his nose and then blow it out and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do so with odd numbers. And whoever wakes up from his sleep should wash his hands three times before putting them in the water for ablution, because nobody knows where his hands were during sleep.”
And in a narration by Muslim:
“Let him take water into his nose, washing the nose by putting water in it”.
And in another narration: And he who makes ablution, then let him take water into his nose.” 
[Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 163

⁃ These affairs mentioned in the hadith are all commands due to the wording used by the narrator
⁃ The command of using an odd amount E.g. tawaf, throwing of the stone, wudhu etc
