Actions are how they get sealed. The last Action of Ibn Taymiyyah!

by AbdurRahman.orgApril 12, 2014October 24, 2026

As-Shaikh ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdir-Raheem al-Bukhari (hafidhahullah) narrated the story in his lecture “Trials: Its types, its causes and the stand of the Muslim from it”

Ibn ul-Qayyim (Rahimahullah) said: I and my brother – Shaikh ul-Islam – completed reciting the Quran 80 times while we were in the last prison. We then started for the 81^st round until Shaikh ul-Islam reached the Aayah:

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ ﴿٥٤﴾ فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ ﴿٥٥﴾

“Verily, the Muttaqûn (pious), will be in the midst of Gardens and rivers (Paradise). In a seat of Truth (i.e. Paradise), near the Omnipotent King (Allâh, the All-Blessed, the Most High, the Owner of Majesty and Honour).” (Soorah al-Qamar: 54-55)

And just as Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah finished reciting these (last two) verses of Soorah al-Qamar, his soul was taken from him.

Shaikh ‘Abdullah al-Bukhari: O my loved ones! The actions depend on how they end. He, who dies while doing an action, is resurrected upon the same action.

Verily the children of Israaeel were Destroyed when they Started Story Telling – Shaykh al-Albaani

by AbdurRahman.orgOctober 12, 2012March 23, 2015

One of the Reasons for the Destruction of the Jews :

The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said,
“Verily the children of Israaeel were destroyed when they started story telling”

Shaykh Alalbani said: Said (Ibn Atheer) in An-nihaya:

Meaning they relied upon speech and left off actions. So that was the reason for their destruction. Or vice versa; When they left off actions they were destroyed and then turned to story telling.

So I (Al-Albani) say:

It is possible to say that the reason for their destruction was the importance their preachers gave to story telling and tales and not to fiqh or beneficial knowledge through which people know their religion, what would have carried them towards righteous actions. So when they did that they were destroyed.

So this is the case of many of the story tellers of our era. Those whose speech revolves around Judeo-Christian traditions, heart softeners and sayings of the soofis. And Allah’s safety is sought.

"Whenever I waiver and become indecisive" – Ibn Taymiyyah

by AbdurRahman.orgOctober 8, 2012March 23, 2015

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:

“Indeed whenever I waiver and become indecisive in my mind about an issue, or about something or a situation [which is problematic for me] then I ask forgiveness of Allaah the Most High, a thousand times or more, or less until He opens my chest for me and solves the problem which I was confused about. Even if at that time I was in a market place, or in a masjid or in a mountain pass or a school, that does not prevent me from the remembrance [of Allaah] and asking for forgiveness until I achieve my objective.”

[Al-‘Uqoodad-Durriyyah min Manaaqib Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah by Ibn ‘Abdul-Haadee (d.748 H), page 5, Daar Kutub al-‘Ilmiyyah Print, with the checking of Muhammad Haamid al-Faqee].

The first dialogue between woman and man – Imam Ibn Kathir

by AbdurRahman.orgDecember 17, 2010May 15, 2015

Suddi narrated through Abu Saalih and Abu Maalik from Ibn ‘Abbaas and Ibn Mas’ud, and also from some other Companions who said:

Iblis (Satan) was expelled from Paradise and Adaam was made to dwell in it. He wandered through it alone as he had no partner in whom he could seek his comfort. However, once he slept and when he woke up, he found a woman sitting near his head, whom Allaah had created from his rib. Adam asked her: “What are you?” She replied: “A woman.” He asked her again: “What are you created for?” She answered: “So you could seek comfort in me.” Angels who were well aware of the extent of the knowledge of Adam asked: “What is her name O Adaam?” He said: “Eve (Hawwa).” They asked him: “Why is it Hawwa?” Adam replied: “Because she was created from something living.“

Sincere Advice from the Sheikhah Umm Abdillah Al-Waad’eeyah

by AbdurRahman.orgAugust 6, 2009October 22, 2026

This is the response to what the Sheikhah Umm Abdillah Al-Waad’eeyah, may Allah preserve her, had when a flyer was shown and translated to her, for a sisters beauty and spa gathering in the west. The request was made to the sister Umm Abdillah Al-Britaaniyah, may Allah preserve her, to ask the Sheikhah about this issue.

The response from the Sheikhah:

All praises are due to Allah. And may the prayer and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone without any partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is his slave and messenger. To proceed:

Firstly, it is upon every Muslim woman to know that Allah has made it obligatory upon her to remain at home. As He has said:

وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ٣٣:٣٣

“And stay in your homes (Oh you women) and do not display your adornments or beauty like the days of Ignorance”
