rAw TiMe was a cult-classic 1990s public access music video & call-in show based in Austin, Texas.
The call-in segment featured the host, Tiffy, chatting with strangers about the music. Some calls were completely unhinged, which were often met with funny & unfazed responses.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The Hour will not be established until the happiest of people in the world is Luka‘ ibn Luka‘.”
Do you know what “Luka‘ ibn Luka‘” means?
Ibn Abbās رضي الله عنه a commenté :« Ils possèdent une part de foi. Lorsqu’on leur demande : “Qui a créé les cieux ? Qui a créé la terre ? Qui a créé les montagnes ?”ils répondent : “Allah.” Pourtant, ils Lui associent d’autres dans l’adoration. »
Imam ash-Shafi'i (RA) said:
The dignity of a man is in three things;
- Hiding poverty until people consider from your integrity that you are rich.
- Hiding anger until people consider that you are pleased.
- Hiding hardship until people consider that you are prosperous.
Sheikh Ibn ‘Uthaymîn a dit :
« Si tu invoques pour ton frère en son absence sans aucune recommandation de sa part, il s'agit là d'une preuve de ton amour pour lui et que tu aimes pour lui le bien comme tu l'aimes pour toi-même. »
Commentaire de Ryâd As-Sâlihîn 4/20-21
One of the most consoling verses in the Quran is found in Surah An-Nisa 28: "Allah wants to lighten your burdens, for human beings were created weak."
Al-Qurtubi understands weakness here as a reference to how easily desires sway our judgment and anger can overcome our self-control.
قوله تعالى : وخلق الإنسان ضعيفا نصب على الحال ؛ والمعنى أن هواه يستميله وشهوته وغضبه يستخفانه ، وهذا أشد الضعف فاحتاج إلى التخفيف.
al-razi: god almighty's report/speech is true, because lying is a deficiency, and that is impossible for god.
al-tusi: the judgment that lying is a deficiency, if this is [known] rationally, then it amounts to affirming that things are [intrinsically] good or bad by reason (ḥusn wa qubḥ al-ashyāʾ ʿaqlan); and if it is [known] through revealed transmission (samʿan), then circular reasoning (dawr) necessarily follows. [...]
and the preferable [approach for razi] is to establish that [truthfulness of divine speech] by the consensus (ijmāʿ) of all rational people, even though they differ in their reasoning/justification for it.
