– May Allāh have mercy upon a man who knows his own level.
– The opposite of this is hastiness and tribulation.
– Two qualities that are beloved to Allāh.
– Forbearance, patience, and avoiding hastiness.
– Pride and arrogance.
– The definition of kibr.
– True knowledge causes fear within the servant.
– The ignorance of one who is amazed by his own speech and opinion.
– The amazing statement of Muṭarrif bin 'Abdillāh raḥimahullāh.
– Reflecting upon one's intentions and actions.
– Recognising that we do not know which of our deeds will be accepted.
Indeed, if Allah loves a servant, He informs Jibreel (ʿalayhis-salām) and mentions that servant by name!
So how can we become among those whom Allah loves?
How can we rise to be among the best of mankind?
A short khutbah explaining how.

Al-Imām An-Nawawī, may Allah have mercy on him, writes:
"Know that what we mentioned regarding the excellence of seeking knowledge, then that is only for those who seek it intending to see the Face of Allah (in Jannah), and do not have a worldly ambition. The one who has a worldly ambition like wealth, leadership, position, power, notiriety, gaining a people's loyalty, overcoming opponents, or anything similar to this, then this is reprehensible."

An abridgment of Madārij al-Sālikīn by Imām Ibn al-Qayyim.
A timeless guide to drawing closer to Allah and preparing for the Hereafter.
🆓 Here is a simplified yet detailed free study guide and summary of the new publication: “An Ummah of One — Building Faith, Family, and Civilization through the Story of Ibrahim (عليه الصلاة والسلام). An especially beneficial read in these blessed days of celebration: https://t.co/0zf50Tfp2Y
Qurrah said that a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “O Allah’s Messenger! I was ready to slaughter a sheep, then I felt pity for it.” Or he said: “I felt sorry for a sheep that I was about to slaughter.”
So, the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him twice: “You showed mercy to the sheep, so Allah will show you mercy.”
Al-Adab al-Mufrad no. 373; a sahīh hadīth, see as-Saheehah no. 26. —Abu Khadeejah.
Abu Hurairah (Allah be pleased with him) said: “A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with him was his young son whom he started to hug.”
So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: “You show him mercy?” The man replied: “Yes”
So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah is more merciful with you than you are with your son—and He is the most merciful of those who show mercy.”
Al-Adab al-Mufrad no. 377; Al-Albānī graded chain of narration to be sahīh. —Abu Khadeejah.
May Allah bless you Sh. Abul Hasan for this short, yet important reminder.
I recall years ago visiting Sh. Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him), and someone knocked at his door with an envelope. The Shaykh asked me to open it and see what it was. I did so and mentioned that there were documents prepared in defense of Faaleh al-Harbi. Sh. Ubaid immediately said:
Mustafa, when you leave, throw those papers in the trash can outside!!!
May Allah bless and reward our Ustaadh, Shaykh Abdulilah @Abdulilah_UK for his beautiful words of advice and reminders today.
Some 300 or so people attended and we were honoured to host everyone. We hope everyone had a blessed, enjoyable time.
Allah’s Messenger Sallallahu Alayhi wasallam said: “Whoever does not thank the people has not thanked Allah.”
So, we extend our gratitude to the Shaykh and then to the organisers of a wonderful gathering today, the volunteers and all who attended.
May Allah place it on the scales of good deeds and facilitate for us the ability to host many more gatherings like this for many years to come!
