حدثني بعض أصحابنا قال جاء رجل إلى يونس بن عبيد فشكا إليه ضيقا من حاله ومعاشه واغتماما بذلك فقال أيسرك ببصرك مئة ألف قال لا قال فبسمعك قال لا قال فبلسانك قال لا قال فبعقلك قال لا في خلال وذكره نعم الله عليه ثم قال يونس أرى لك مئين ألوفا وأنت تشكو الحاجة
ENGLISH:
"Some of our associates narrated to me that a man came to Yunus bin Ubayd and complained of the hardship he was going through in his livelihood and of his anxiety because of it. So he said (to him), "Would you be happy to give up your eyesight for a hundred thousand (dinars, dirhams)?" He said, "No." He said, "Then what about your hearing?" He said, "No." He said, "And your tongue?" He said, "No." He said, "And your aql (intellect)?" He said, "No, [not] for any wants, needs." Then he reminded him of the favours of Allaah upon him after which he, Yunus, said: "I see that you have hundreds of thousands of (dinars, dirhams) yet you are complaining of need!"
NEDERLANDS:
"Een aantal van onze metgezellen hebben aan mij overgeleverd dat een man naar Yunus bin Ubayd kwam, en klaagde over zijn financiele omstandigheden, en zijn bezorgdheid erover. Dus Yunus vroeg aan hem: "Zou jij je ogen voor 100,000 (dinars, dirhams) inruilen?" Hij zei: "Nee." Yunus vroeg: "En je gehoor?" Hij zei: "Nee." Yunus vroeg: "En je tong?" Hij zei: "Nee." Yunus vroeg: "En je 'aql (verstand)?" Hij zei: "Nee, voor geen enkele prijs zal ik ze inruilen!" Toen herinerde Yunus hem aan alle zegeningen waar zich in bevind, en zei: "Ik zie dat je honderden duizenden (dirhams, dinars) bezit, en je bent aan het klagen."
["Al-Siyar" of al-Dhahabi, 6/292].
إن من كان قبلكم رأوا القرآن رسائل من ربهم فكانوا يتدبرونها بالليل شذا في النهار
ENGLISH:
"Indeed those who came before you saw the Qur’an as personal letters from their Lord. So they would ponder over it by night and yearn for it by day."
NEDERLANDS:
"Voorwaar, degenen die voor jullie kwamen zagen de Qur'an als persoonlijke brieven van hun Heer. Overnacht zouden zij erover nadenken en overdag zouden zij ernaar verlangen."
["Al-Tibyan", 28 - by Imam Al-Nawawi].
العلم ما جاء به أصحاب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، فما كان غير ذلك فليس بعلم
ENGLISH:
"Knowledge is what comes from the [core rulings] of the Companions of Muhammad and that which does not come from a single one of them is not knowledge."
NEDERLANDS:
"Kennis is hetgeen dat afkomstig is van de metgezellen van Muhammad, vrede zij met hem. Dus al hetgeen niet van hen afkomstig is, valt niet onder 'ilm (kennis)."
["Jami' Bayān Al-'Ilm", ]
1- If you can't change the people around you, then change the people around you!
2- Ther's no justice. It's JUSTUS
3- Everyday, the Angel of Death overlooks you and takes the lives of others, but one day, he will overlook others and take you.
4- If she's not on the Deen, she's not fit to be your queen. If he hasn't got Iman, he's not fit to be your man.
5- Every day of your life is a page of your history
قال ابن المديني : قيل للشعبي: من أين لك هذا العلم كله؟ قال: بنفي الاعتماد، والسير في البلاد، وصبر كصبر الحمار، وبكور كبكور الغراب
ENGLISH:
"How did you attain all this knowledge?" Imaam Al-Sh'bee's answer was as follows: "By independency, by travelling through cities, by having patience like that of a donkey and by rising early like the rising of crows."
NEDERLANDS:
“Hoe verkreeg u al dit kennis?” Imam Al-Sh’bi zei: “Met onafhankelijkheid en met reizen door steden. Met geduldig zijn zoals een ezel en vroeg wakker worden als een kraai.”
["Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala", 4/300].
ذلك الكتاب لا ريب فيه
“That’s the Book, in which there is no doubt.”
Now, it does not say: "That's the Book, which nobody WILL doubt ...", rather it says: "That's the Book, in which there IS no doubt...". Obviously, some people did doubt the Qur'an, but those doubts were created in their minds, and they were not in the Book.
Regarding the part :
هدى للمتقين
"A guide for the Godfearing."
This Book is a guide for those who SEEK righteousness. Thousands of people are walking on this planet, but the Qur'an does not guide them, because they do not seek it's guidance.
The verses continue , explaining the characteristics of these people :
الذين يؤمنون بالغيب
"Those who believe in the unseen."
We have not seen Paradise, Hell, Angels, Punishment of the Grave and the Life of Barzakh - but we believe in them. Why? Because a trustworthy person has informed us regarding them.
I will give an example :
When people have the sugar disease , meaning diabetes - the doctor tells them: Don't eat rice. Logically, some cannot comprehend this, thinking: But rice is not sweet! It contains no sugar. Why can't I eat it? But they go along with what the doctor says, because they trust him. And then the doctor gives them a medicine, which is sweet in itself, so some people get even more confused, thinking: If sugar is bad for me, why does he give me medicine which contains sugar? Still, they trust the doctor, because he is a trustworthy individual.
Similarly, we believe in what our Prophet told us ...
ذلك الكتاب لا ريب فيه هدى للمتقين
"That's the Book, in which there is no doubt - a guide for the Godfearing."
Now , we say "THAT", with regards to something that is far away and "THIS", with regards to something nearby. Similarly, in Arabic, we say:
ذلك
THAT
هذا
THIS
The Qur'an is in front of us, so why does the verse say: "THAT is the Book ...", and not "THIS is the Book ...?"
The explanation is as follows:
The word "THAT" can refer to distance but also position and status. Because the Qur'an is so glorious and holy, Allah says: "THAT is the Book ...", out of respect. As we sometimes say about a person of great status and achievements who may be sitting next to us: "This is THAT individual, who did such and so ...".
اياك نعبد
"You only we worship."
واياك نستعين
"And You only we ask for help."
فوق الأسباب
Above capability
تحت الأسباب
Within capability
قل إن كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعونى
"Say: If you truly love Allah, then follow ME."
ياليتني كنت تراباً
"Woe to me! I wish I was turned into dust ..."
Understand my brothers, that the Creator is Allah, the healer is Allah, the giver of Life is Allah! Prophet's and saints cannot give you children. Make place for Laa-ilaha-il-Allah in your heart. If you love the Prophet, then loving him means following his guidance.
Please, don't misguide this poor nation. Teach them the right religion. Success lies in following the Qur'an and Sunnah.
The Shaykh makes the following dua:
ولقد كرمنا بني آدم
"And we dignified the children of Adam."
جاء رجل إلى رسول الله
"A man came to the Prophet ..."
رآني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وعليَّ أطمار فقال هل لك من مال قلت نعم قال من أي المال قلت من كل ما آتى الله من الإبل والشاه قال فلتر نعمته وكرامته عليك
ENGLISH:
The Prophet saw me wearing old, tattered clothes, and asked me, “Do you have any wealth?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “What kind of wealth?” I said, “All that Allaah has given me of camels and sheep.” He said, “Then show the generous blessings that He has given you.”
NEDERLANDS:
De Profeet zag mij in gescheurde kleren, en hij vroeg: "Heb jij enige bezittingen?" Ik zei: "Ja." Hij vroeg: "Wat voor bezittingen?" Ik zei: "Alle kamelen en schapen waarmee Allah mij heeft gezegend." De Profeet zei: "Laat dus Zijn zegeningen zien (in je uiterlijk)."
[Ahmad 15323; Al-Tirmidhi 1929, Al-Nisaa’i 5128].
ودخل رجلان من أهل الأهواء على محمد بن سيرين فقالا : يا أبا بكر ! نحدثك بحديث ؟! قال : لا . قالا : فنقرأ عليك آية من كتاب الله ؟ قال : لا . قال : تقومان عني وإلا قمتُ . فقام الرجلان فخرجا . فقال بعض القوم : ما كان عليك أن يقرآ عليك آية ؟ قال : إني كرهت أن يقرآ آيةً فيحرفانها ؛ فيقر ذلك في قلبي
ENGLISH:
Two men from the people of the innovated sects came to Muhammad Ibn Seereen and said: "O Aboo Bakr we want to narrate something to you." He said: "No." They said: "Then may we recite an Aayah from Allaah's book to you?" He said: "No." He said: "Either you two get up and leave or I will get up." So the two men stood up and left. Someone said: "What harm would it do to you for him to recite an Aayah?" He said: "I hated that he should recite an Aayah and that they would distort it and then it would enter my heart."
NEDERLANDS:
Twee mannen van de de mensen van begeerte kwamen bij Mohammed Ibn Sirien binnen, zei zeiden: "O Aba Bakr! Mogen we een hadith vertellen?" Hij zei: "Nee!" Zij zeiden: "Laat ons dan een vers uit het Boek van Allah reciteren." Hij zei: "Nee! Ofwel vertrekken jullie of ik vertrek." De twee mannen stonden op en zijn naar buiten gegaan. Sommigen zeiden: "Waarom heb jij hen geen vers laten reciteren?" Hij zei: "Ik had afkeer dat hij een vers reciteert en dan verdraait en dit dan in mijn hart gevestigd blijft."

"... And he did not have a Shaykh, rather he engaged himself in taking from the books, and he wrote a book about acquiring a skill by reading from the books, and that it is more prospurous for the learner, AND THIS IS WRONG!"

والبدعة مقرونة بالفرقة، كما أن السنة مقرونة بالجماعة، فيقال: أهل السنة والجماعة كما يقال: أهل البدعة والفرقة
ENGLISH:
"And bid'ah is associated with splitting, just as Sunnah is associated with the Jamaa'ah. So it is said: Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, just as it is said: Ahlul-Bid'ah wal-Furqah (the People of innovation and division)."
NEDERLANDS:
"En bid'ah is altijd geassocieerd met afscheiding, net zoals de Sunnah altijd geassocieerd is met de Jamaa'ah. Daarom wordt er gezegd: Ahlus-Sunna wal-Jamaa'ah, en : Ahlul-Bid'ah wal-Furqah (de mensen van innovaties en afscheiding)."

ENGLISH:
"Some people did objected to (looking at the private parts), but I say: They objected from a medical perspective and not from a religious perspective. There is nothing wrong with it, and it is not disliked. It is narrated that Imam Malik said: "There is no problem with him looking at the vagina (of his wife) during intercourse." And in another narration he added to it: "And to lick it with his tongue."
NEDERLANDS:
"Sommige mensen hadden bezwaar tegen (het kijken naar de prive delen van je echtgenote), maar ik zeg: Hun bezwaar was vanuit een medische perspectief en niet vanuit een religieuze perspectief. Er is niets mis met dit, en het is niet afgeraden. Het is overgeleverd dat Imam Malik zei: "Er is niets mis met het kijken naar de vagina tijdens geslachtsgemeenschap". En in een andere overlevering voegde hij eraan toe: "En om het te likken met de tong."

و حدثتنا زوجته أنه في ليلة من الليالي جاء من المستشفى, و لاحظت عليه آثار التعب فضبطت الساعة بعد عادته في القيام بساعة رأفة به, فانتبه على العادة , وسألها لم لم يشتغل منبه الساعة , فأخبرته فلامها على ذلك , و أخبرته أنها فعلت ذلك من أجل راحته. فقال رحمه الله: الراحة في الجنة

"We were told by one of the wives of (Shaykh Ibn Baz) that one day he (the Shaykh) came home from hospital and his wife noticed that he looked very tired.
After he fell asleep, his wife moved his time alarm forward from the time that he used to wake up for (voluntery) night prayers. The Saykh woke up at the right time (to pray) and tried to figure out why his alarm did not go off. His wife told him, that she had moved the alarm time forward, so that he could have a rest. He admonished her, saying:
"Rest is in Paradise."
NEDERLANDS:
"Ons werd verteld door één van de weduwen (van Sheikh Abdul Azeez Ibn Baaz) dat hij op een dag terugkeerde uit het ziekenhuis en toen hij binnenkwam, merkte zijn (vrouw) dat hij zeer moe en uitgeput was ...
Nadat hij in slaap viel, veranderde ze de alarmtijd van zijn wekker van de tijd waarop hij normaal opstond om het nachtgebed te bidden in een later moment. De Sheikh werd echter wakker op de normale tijd, zonder de wekker en onderzocht waarom zijn wekker niet gewerkt had. Zijn vrouw vertelde hem dat zij de tijd had veranderd zodat hij kon uitrusten. Hij vermaande haar en zei:
