Today a brother shared the pic of a treasure he found at #DubaiPublicLibrary without knowing that it was from the books we had donated 10 years back.
الحمد لله May Allah reward all those who facilitated this.
@IbnAkhdar@Mustafa_George Allah Akbar JazakumAllahkhairan this is how the Ulama were humble. See Sh Zaid bin Haadi intro to Haaiya rahimahullah where he says here is the book infront of you and its weight and burden upon myself. Sh Albaani rahimahullah who said im just a small student, and many scholars.
@IbnAkhdar@Mustafa_George May Allah forgive us our shortcomings, true knowledge is fear of Allah and humilty not towering above others thinking one is better. We are in need of this humility and reliance upon Allah who in reality raises whom He wills and debases whom He wills.
[تواضع العلماء]
ترجم الإمام الذهبي لنفسه، فقال: «الذهبي: المصنف، محمد بن أحمد بن عثمان بن قايماز الشافعي المقرئ المحدث، مخرج هذا المعجم.
ولد سنة ثلاث وسبعين وستمائة.
وجمع تواليف، يقال: مفيدة، والجماعة يتفضلون ويثنون عليه، وهو أخبر بنفسه في العلم، والله المستعان، ولا قوة إلا به، وإذا سلم لي إيماني فيا فوزي». (المعجم المختص بالمحدثين ١/٢٧)
وقال عن نفسه في ذيل ديوان الضعفاء (ص ٥٦): «سيء الحفظ، ليس بالمتقن، ولا المتقي، سامحه الله تعالى».
فهذا الحافظ المحدث المؤرخ، صاحب التصانيف النافعة، يتواضع في ترجمة ��فسه، ولم يذكر نفسه في سير أعلام النبلاء، وقد ترجم فيه لكثير من أقرانه و معاصريه من العلماء، وأثنى عليهم ثناء عاطرا. وفي هذا أعظم دليل على تواضعه رحمه الله. فإذا كان هذا الإمام كذلك، فكيف بمن هو دونه علما ومكانة؟
قال رسول الله ﷺ: وإذا حاصرت أهل حصن فأرادوك أن تنزلهم على حكم الله فلا تنزلهم على حكم الله ولكن أنزلهم على حكمك فإنك لا تدري أتصيب حكم الله فيهم أم لا. (مسلم)
قال ابن القيم: فتأمل كيف فرق بين حكم الله وحكم الأمير المجتهد ، ونهى أن يسمى حكم المجتهدين حكم الله. (إعلام الموقعين)
"فالحاصلُ أنّ الإنسانَ الذي يَمُنُّ اللهُ عليه بالعِلْمِ فقد مَنَّ اللهُ عليه بما هو أعظمُ مِن الأموالِ والبَنينِ والزَّوجاتِ والقُصُورِ والمَرَاكِبِ وكُلِّ شيءٍ....".

Siddeeq Hasan Khan rahimahullah said:
Truth is known from whomsoever has gathered five attributes, the greatest of them is sincerity, understanding, justice, striving to know the truth and striving much to call to it.

Shaykh al-‘Allamah Salih al-Fawzan delivering a lesson during Hajj this year.
The senior scholars are a tremendous blessing for this Ummah.
It is upon us to benefit from them while they are still living, for they are examples of knowledge and wisdom.
May Allah preserve him.

If Allah blesses you w/ Ikhlas (sincerity) & Mutabi’ah (following the sunnah), don’t worry if the action is too insignificant, because Allah will surely multiply your reward!
Don’t worry about the people and what they say; they’re not the judge in the Hereafter.
The great scholar, al-Imām 'Abdur Rahmān as-Sa'dī, Allah have mercy upon him, mentions the benefits of mutual consultation (al-mushāwarah):
1. Implementing the commandments of Allah, and following a path that Allah loves, as Allah has described the believers as people of mutual consultation. The Messenger, sallallāhu 'alyhi wa sallam would consult his companions.
2. It brings about cohesion amongst the believers.
3. Ideas are clarified and intellects are nurtured.
4. It may be that the correct path is a collobarotation of 2 or 3 opinions.
Correctness in an affair is not known until it is compared with the incorrect position by a sound intellect.
5. Mutual consultation nurtures love between the believers.

May Allah have mercy upon those killed at the Islamic Center of San Diego
Amin Abdullah was the security guard who died protecting the masjid. May Allah protect him on the Day of Judgment.
Sh Badī'ud-dīn ar-Rāshidī, Allah have mercy on him, after explaining that being grateful to Allah occurs within the heart, and on the tounge, and with the physical body:
As for the body, then (thankfulness) is by using it for worship and obligatory actions, seeking the pleasure of Allah. As He says:
Rather worship Allah alone and be from the grateful. Surah Az-Zumar: 66
And this is along side refraining from disobedience to Allah and His Messenger.
Al-Bayhaqqi mentions the narration of Imām Sufyān bin 'Uyaynah that he was asked about being grateful so he said, "It is that you refrain from disobedience."
