A Sincere Advice To The People of The Sunnah Worldwide... by Shaykh Abū Khadījah ʿAbdul-Wāḥid

Qualities That Every Believer Should Possess  By Ustādh Abu Ishāq Nadeem (حفظه الله)

The Book of Servitude is one of Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn-Taymiyyah’s (rahimahullah) great and excellent works. A small treatise but very profound and beneficial. Shaykhul-Islaam was asked to elaborate on the following four questions:

- What is Ibadah (worship) and what are its branches?
- Is the whole of the Deen embodied within it?
- What is the reality of ‘uboodiyyah (servitude)?
- Is it the highest station in this world and in the Hereafter, or are there other stations above it?

His reply is contained within this treatise.

Points of benefit from khutbah: 

• True success is for the one who dies upon Tawheed

• True loss is for the one who dies upon shirk 

• Whomsoever has taken shaitan as a protector then he is the one who is in loss

•Following the lowly desire leads to the hellfire 

• "Verily it has been revealed to you(Oh Muhammad) and those before you that if you was to associate partners with Allah, then your righteous good deeds will be null and void and you will be from the losers!" 

• Belief in the day of resurrection 

• If your good deeds are not coupled by the teaching of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم then it will be like scattered dust on the day of judgement

• Oh you who believe do not allow your wealth and your children to take you away from the remembrance of Allah 

• The mufliss(bankrupt) one on the day of judgement is the one who has oppressed others in the worldly life and will have to pay them back from his good deeds and take upon their bad deeds 

• Surah Asr is a tremendous reminder

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]

• 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.

Chapter of Prayer: The Funeral Prayer (Part 3)
•	Washing the deceased is mentioned in Multiple narrations and is obligatory for those acquainted with the rulings and conditions and aware of the death.
•	The Prophet ((صلى الله عليه وسلم)) washed the deceased and was washed himself upon his death
•	A deceased man should be washed by a man, and likewise a deceased woman should be washed by another woman. (NOTE: there are two exceptions which will be mentioned below)
•	The person who does the washing should be trustworthy and knowledgeable in this regard as this is a special act with rulings to it
•	Priority of who has the right to wash:

o	If a person specifies in his will that a person should carry out the washing, then this person has the foremost right provided that person is capable and knowledgeable in this regard. For example, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stated in his will to be washed by Asmaa Bint Umays, his wife (may Allah be pleased with her). This also shows that Husband can wash the body of his wife, and likewise a Wife can wash the body of her husband. Another example of specifying a person is that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) specified in his will that he should be washed by Muhammad Ibn Sîrîn (may Allah be pleased with him)

o	After a person specified in will, then the father has the next most right to do the washing.
o	If it is not possible for the father to wash then it becomes the right of the Grandfather
o	if that is not possible then the next of kin/relatives.
o	If no family or next of kin can be found to do the washing, then someone outside of his family should do so.
o	The order above applies to women also, e.g. if a woman specifies a specific woman to do the washing then she will have priority, and after that it is the closest female relative etc

o	NOTE: one who is acquainted with the rulings should be given priority over one that does not have the required knowledge and ability to carry out the washing 

•	In General, a deceased man is to be washed by a man and likewise for the women. An exception to this is the aforementioned where a Husband washes his wife or a wife washes her deceased husband. A further example of this is that Ali Ibn Abî Tâlib (may Allah be pleased with him) washed the body of his wife Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her)
•	If a small child under the age of 7 dies, then that child can be washed by either a man or a woman. For example, Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him) the baby son of the prophet was washed by women when he died. 
•	If a child is 7 or older then that child should be washed by the correct gender (Males wash the males etc)
