Powerful Reminder About Death - Poem by Abu Al-Atahiya

[Abu Ammar Al-Baloushi @aaabl107]

"My Lord, make me and my offspring among those who establish the prayer." [14:40]

[Abu Ammar Al-Baloushi @aaabl107]

Polygyny

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Polygyny in this time is more needed than in previous times, due to the large number of women, the abundance of fitan, and women’s need for someone to preserve their chastity.

Many scholars held the view that polygyny is better than remaining with only one wife.

Sharh Hilyat Talib al-Ilm, p. 315

[Faris Al Hammadi @FarisHammadi]

This comparison is factually false.

For debates sake, if we would say that both Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Arabi have been misread by some of their followers, the comparison breaks down when examining their methodologies, scholarly contributions, and standing among the scholars of Islam.

Ibn Taymiyyah was a scholar of Qur’an, Hadith, Fiqh, Usul, Arabic language, and Aqeedah whose works were built upon evidence, transmitted texts, and the methodology of the Salaf. His scholarship was praised by leading scholars across generations, including many who disagreed with him on certain issues.

Ibn Arabi, on the other hand, became known primarily for mystical philosophy and doctrines such as Wahdat al-Wujud, which is clearly Kufr.

Allah said:

“Can he who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth be like one who is blind? Only those of understanding will take heed.” Ar-Ra’d 13:19

[Abu Ammar Al-Baloushi @aaabl107]

The people of Jannah are not always the famous, wealthy, or influential.
Sometimes they are the forgotten ones.

The quiet brother. The poor sister. The person nobody notices.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Shall I not tell you about the people of Paradise?
Every weak and humble person...
Shall I not tell you about the people of Hell?
Every harsh, arrogant, and proud person.”
al-Bukhari

"A man insulted Imam Waki' (may Allah have mercy upon him), but he did not respond to him. It was said to him: 'Will you not reply to him?' He said: 'Why did we learn knowledge, then?'"
​- Rawdat al-'Uqala (166)

Subhanallah. First time seeing full rainbow.

After reading some of the finest Arabic poetry, I come across this.
I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry. 😅

[Abu Ammar Al-Baloushi @aaabl107]

Sat with the brothers after our Usool ath-Thalatha class today, and on a lighter note, we went through a poetic masterpiece by Al-Mutanabbi.

It’s a poem dedicated to the Emir Sayf al-Dawla, but in true classical fashion, he starts it off with a deep, passionate Ghazal (love poem). The brothers were absolutely fascinated by the sheer power of the Arabic language and hearing about Mutanabbi's legendary life and swagger.

Some people nowadays think studying these classical poems is "inappropriate" for students of knowledge. But historically, this is completely normal and there is zero harm in teaching and sharing them!

Remember that the Sahabi Ka'b ibn Zuhayr recited his famous poem (Banat Su'ad) right in front of the Prophet ﷺ. It started with intense romantic yearning before transitioning to praise, and the Prophet ﷺ did not object at all.

There are massive benefits to studying classical poetry:
📖 Strengthens your grip on classical Arabic vocabulary
🧠 Builds deep appreciation for eloquence (Balagha)
🗝️ Unlocks the idioms and cultural context of the Arabs, which ultimately sharpens your understanding of the Quran and Sunnah.

@yb58271 @Blagha1 لول

[Abu Ammar Al-Baloushi @aaabl107]

For the sake of your eyes is all that my heart endures and has endured, And to love belongs what is left of me, and what is no more.

I was never one to let love easily enter his heart, But whoever looks upon your eyes will inevitably fall in love.

Between satisfaction and anger, between nearness and distance, There is ample room for the tears of the eye to continuously flow.

The sweetest of love is when the lover doubts both union and abandonment, Leaving him forever suspended between hoping and fearing.
- Al-Mutanabbi

[Abu Ammar Al-Baloushi @aaabl107]

لِعَينَيكِ ما يَلقى الفُؤادُ وَما لَقي
وَلِلحُبِّ مالَم يَبقَ مِنّي وَما بَقي
وَما كُنتُ مِمَّن يَدخُلُ العِشقُ قَلبَهُ
وَلَكِنَّ مَن يُبصِر جُفون��كِ يَعشَقِ
وَبَينَ الرِضا وَالسُخطِ وَالقُربِ وَالنَوى
مَجالٌ لِدَمعِ المُقلَةِ المُتَرَقرِقِ
وَأَحلى الهَوى ما شَكَّ في الوَصلِ رَبُّهُ
وَفي الهَجرِ فَهوَ الدَهرَ يُرجو وَيُتَّقي

here is Daleel: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade solitude: for a man to spend the night alone or travel alone."

Reported by Al-Bukhari (2998) with a similar phrasing, and by Ahmad (5650), and this specific wording belongs to Ahmad.

sleeping alone,
and travelling alone.

[Abu Ammar Al-Baloushi @aaabl107]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) warned against loneliness and isolation, particularly in situations where danger might threaten the solitary person. In this Hadith, Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade loneliness," which means isolating oneself without anyone else present. Specifically, he forbade "for a man to spend the night alone" in a house or anywhere else.

The reason for this prohibition is likely due to the feelings of dread and desolation it can generate. Furthermore, a person might need the assistance of others during the night in the event of a sudden emergency, such as an illness, a thief, or intense fear. A woman is exactly like a man regarding this ruling. Additionally, this prohibition serves to protect a solitary person from devils, as the night is the time when they spread out and harm humans by taking on forms, frightening them, and casting malicious whispers (waswas) into their hearts.

Key Takeaways from the Hadith:
Encouragement of Companionship: An urging for people to gather, socialize, and provide company for one another.

Prophetic Care: A demonstration of the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) profound dedication to protecting Muslims from all forms of harm and injury.
