– Allāh تعالى said: “Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): “In what (condition) were you?” They reply: “We were weak and oppressed on earth.” They (angels) say: “Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?” Such men will find their abode in Hell – What an evil destination!” [Surah Nisa (4): 97].
– The story of the man who killed 99 men.
– Mankind can be affected by those whom he associates with swiftly.
– Hadith: Arrogance and pride is found amongst camel herders and tranquility is found against sheep herders.

– Story of when the Prophet ﷺ went to Abu Talib on his deathbed who was accompanied by the chiefs of the Quraysh - encouraging him to accept the shahadat and his companions encouraging him to stay upon the religion of Abdul Muttalib.
– Allah تعالى says: “Verily! You (O Muhammad ) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided.” [Surah Qasas (28): 56].
– Advice to choose good companions over evil companions so you don’t have any regrets.
– Allah تعالى says: “And (remember) the Day when the Zalim (wrong-doer, oppressor, polytheist, etc.) will bite at his hands, he will say: “Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ).
“Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend!
“He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this Qur’an) after it had come to me. And Shaitan (Satan) is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need.” [Surah Furqan (25): 27-29].

[Lesson Nine | 13/09/2025] Selected Benefits from Madārij Al-Sālikīn of Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله– By Shaykh Abu ‘Iyaad Amjad Rafīq حفظه الله. Monthly class at Masjid Salafi, Small Heath, Birmingham, UK.

Some points discussed during this lesson:

- Recap of the previous lesson.
- The four categories of people as it relates to the actualisation of ‘ibādah and isti’ānah:
- 1. Those who worship Allāh (‘ibādah) and seek His aid (isti’ānah) in doing so. 
- The most excellent and beneficial type of supplication to Allāh. 
- The greatest of gifts a person can be granted. 
- An observation by Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) regarding the thing that all of the reported supplications revolve around. 
- Ibn Taymiyyah’s (رحمه الله) reflection on what he found to be the most beneficial supplication. 
- 2. Those who turn away from worshipping Allāh and seeking His aid.
- The reason they ask of Allāh, if they were to do so. 
- Proof that Allāh gives to even the one most hated to Him. 
- The one who is made distant from Allāh. 
- Clarification that Allāh’s responding and giving or not responding and withholding has no connection to the honour or disgrace of a servant. 
- The importance of istikhārah. 
- “As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and bounties, then he says (in exultation): ‘My Lord has honoured me.’ But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: ‘My Lord has humiliated me!’” [Sūrah al-Fajr 89:15-16]
- True honour, and the sign of true humiliation. 
- 3. Those who worship Allāh but do not seek His aid in establishing that worship. 
- The two groups of people within this category:
- 3.1. The Qadariyyah/Mu’tazilah
- How their deviant belief that man creates his own actions prevents them from seeking Allāh’s aid in worship. 
- 3.2. The Jabariyyah
- What is necessitated by their belief, and how it impairs their worship. 
- Practical examples that highlight how an incorrect belief can be detrimental to a person’s worship and nearness to Allāh. 
- The meaning of Tawakkul, and a similitude that captures the manner in which the servant should depend upon his Lord. 
- “And whosoever puts his trust in Allāh, then He will suffice him.” [Sūrah aṭ-Ṭalāq 65:3]
- 4. Those who seek Allāh’s aid (in order to achieve their worldly objectives) but do not worship Him. 
- Affairs given to both the righteous and sinful. 
- The most ignorant and distant people from knowing Allāh and His religion. 
- The two foundational principles required to actualise إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ. 
- The four categories of people in regard to these two foundations:
- 1. Those who combine ikhlāṣ and mutāba’ah. 
- Affairs that are not from sincerity. 
- A beautiful similitude regarding how the people of ikhlāṣ and mutāba’ah view those around them. 
- Fuḍayl b. ‘Iyāḍ (رحمه الله) on the meaning of, “Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed.” [Sūrah al-Mulk 67:2]
- “So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." [Sūrah al-Kahf 18:110]
