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.

[18/10/2024] "Allāh's Mercy Encompasses Everything" - By Abu Fuḍayl ‘Abdur Raqīb حفظه الله. Khuṭbah at Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah, Aston, Birmingham, UK.

Some points discussed during this Khuṭbah:

– Knowing and understanding Allah’s Name and Attribute Ar-Rahmān The Most Merciful.
– Description of the narration of the Angels that carry Allah’s Throne
– Allah’s Mercy encompasses everything and the Angels seek forgiveness for the Believers who worship Him Day and Night.
– Allah’s mercy encompasses all of His creation by providing sustenance, strength, health and enjoyment - even the disbelievers.
– Narration of the one who enjoyed all the luxuries of the world and is brought to the Hell Fire and with one dip in the Hell Fire he forgets all the comfort and joy that he had experienced in the dunya. The one who suffered hardships and pain in this life will be brought to Jannah and he will be dipped in Jannah and this will make him forget everything of difficulty he experienced in the dunya.
– Hadīth: Allah has made mercy into 100 parts. From 1 part of mercy we see the creation showing mercy and compassion to each other. The remaining 99 parts are kept with Allah for the Day of Judgement. Allah will utilize this mercy for the believers.
– One portion of mercy is equivalent to what is between the heavens and the earth.
– The two types of mercy of Allah.
– Mercy of Allah is achieved via the guidance of Allah by worshipping and obeying Him.
– Allah is Most Forgiving and Most merciful to the Believers.
– The believer fears His Lord but always remembers that He is the Most Merciful.
– {Say: “O ‘Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful} [Surah Az-Zumar:53]
– Allah has legislated and prescribed mercy upon Himself and it outweighs His Anger.
– Hadīth: Whomsoever is not merciful to the people then Allah will not show mercy to him.
