This document contains 35 statements from early Islamic scholars (the Salaf) regarding sincerity in one's actions and intentions toward God. Some key points include: sincerity is the hardest thing to achieve and requires hiding good deeds as much as bad; intentions should be purified in all actions; showing off negates sincerity; and one sincere act for God's sake alone can save a person. The Salaf emphasized avoiding desires for praise, fame or admiration from others and focusing solely on pleasing God with one's intentions and deeds.

This book deals with fiqh issues specific to women regarding menstruation, post partum (Nifaas), and abnormal bleeding (Istihadah).Shaykh Uthaymeen brings proofs from the Quran and Sunnah. Widely Referenced book for Women.
All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His help and forgiveness. We return to Him alone in repentance, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and from our wrong deeds. Whosoever Allah guides there is none who can misguide, and whosoever Allah misguides there is none who can guide. I bear witness that there is no god worthy of being worshipped except Allah Who is free from any partners or associates. I bear witness that Muhammad is the true slave and messenger of Allah (SW1), may the Salah2 of Allah be upon him.
It is common that there are three types of menses among women:
1) Menstrual Period,
2)Istihadah: bleeding from the womb between women periods, and
3) Nifass (post-delivery).
The explanations of these matters in accordance with the evidences from Qur’an and Sunnah is very important and beneficial, because:
a) the Qur’an and Sunnah represent the only sources for all of the Decrees of Allah.
b) in referring to these sources one achieves a state of peace, comfort and relaxation as well as relief for having the requirements of worship (in this case purification from menses) made known.
c) any other reference lacks the quality of perfection of the proofs of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

This slide provides the brief details of the event that will occur once soul departed from the body. This will take you a Journey which will occur after death based on Muslim belief.
The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

35 statements from_the_salaf_regarding_sincerity
1. 35 Statements From the Salaf Regarding
Sincerity
1 - Bishr al-Haafi said: "That I seek the world with a wind instrument is more beloved to me
than that I seek it with my Deen."
2 - Ibraaheem an-Nakha'i said: "When Shaytaan comes to you while you are in prayer
and says: 'You are showing off,' make it longer."
3 - One of the Salaf said: "Direct me to an action by which I will never cease to be
performing for Allaah the Exalted." It was said to him: "Always intend good, because you will
never cease to be performing even if you do not perform any actions. The intention is made even in
the absence of any actions. Whoever intended to pray at night and then slept, the reward for what
he intended will be written for him."
4 - One of them said: "I love that I have an intention for every single thing; even my eat,
drink and sleep."
5 - It was said to Sahl: "What is the hardest thing for the soul (to achieve)?" He said:
"Sincerity, when there is no other desire in it."
6 - Ya'qoob al-Makfoof said: "The sincere person is the one who hides his good deeds just
like he hides his evil deeds."
7 - One of them wrote to his brother: "Make your intention sincere in all of your actions,
and little action will suffice you."
8 - Ayyoob as-Sakhtiyaani said: "Purifying the intention is harder than all other actions for
those who act."
9 - Yahyaa bin Mu'aadh said: "Sincerity separates good actions from faults like the
separation of milk from dung and blood."
10 - as-Soosi said: "What Allaah desires from the actions of His creation is sincerity and

2. nothing else."
11 - al-Junayd said: "To Allaah belong servants who understand, and when they understand
they act, and when they act they make their actions sincere. Their recalling of sincerity at the time of
doing righteousness is what accumulates the greatest good for them."
12 - Hawshab used to cry and say: "My name has reached the large Mosque (meaning, the
people will know who I am)!"
13 - as-Soosi said: "Sincerity is to lose the vision of sincerity in oneself."
14 - One of them said: "Whoever sees sincerity in his sincerity, his sincerity is itself in need of
sincerity. The destruction of every sincere person lies in his sincerity to the extent that he sees
sincerity in himself. When he abandons seeing sincerity in himself he will be sincere and purified."
15 - Abu 'Uthmaan said: "Sincerity is to forget about the creation by constantly looking at the
Creator (in terms of gaining admiration for your deeds)."
16 - Ibraaheem bin Adham said: "The one who loves fame is not truthful to Allaah."
17 - Sufyaan ath-Thawri said: "They (the Salaf) used to hate fame and reputation due to
wearing nice garments because eyes would stretch towards them."
18 - Na'eem bin Hammaad said: "'Abdullaah ibn al-Mubaarak frequently used to sit in
his house for long periods of time, so it was said to him: 'Don't you feel lonely and isolated?' He
said: 'How can I feel isolated while I am with the Prophet (saw)?'."
19 - Ja'far bin Hayyaan said: "The foundations of these actions are the intentions. Indeed a
man reaches with his intentions a position he does not reach with his actions."
20 - One of the people of wisdom used to say: "When a man is speaking in a
gathering and his speech amazes him, let be silent. When he keeps silent and his silence amazes,
him let him speak."
21 - Mutraf bin 'Abdullaah ash-Shakheer said: "That I spend the night sleeping and
wake up remorseful is more loved to me than that I spend the night standing in prayer and wake up
in admiration."
22 - an-Nu'maan bin Qays said: "I never saw 'Abeedah performing any voluntary prayers
in the mosque of al-Hayy."
23 - 'Ali said: "The one who shows off has three charactersistics: he is lazy when by himself, he is
lively and energetic when with others and he increases in his actions when he is praised and decreases
in them when he is criticised."
3. 24 - al-Hasan said: "The one who shows off desires to overcome what Allaah has decreed for
him. He is an evil person who desires to inform the people that he is righteous in order to hear what
they would say. He has obtained a position of vileness and wickedness from his Lord. It is therefore
essential for the hearts of the believers to recognise him."
25 - Sahl bin 'Abdullaah said: "There is nothing which is tougher upon the soul than
acheiving sincerity. How many times have I tried to remove the inclination to show off from my
heart except that it sprouted in a different colour?"
26 - Ibn Mas'ood said: "Do not learn knowledge for three reasons: to amaze and confound
the foolish, to argue with the learned and to make people's faces turn towards you. Rather, seek
what is with Allaah with your hearts and actions, since only that will remain and whatever is
besides it will go."
27 - Abu Sulaymaan ad-Daarini said: "Glad tidings for the one who took a single step
desiring nothing but the face of Allaah by it."
28 - Some of the Salaf said: "Whoever had a single instance in his lifetime which was purely
and sincerely for the sake of Allaah - the Exalted - will be saved, and this is due to the greatness of
sincerity."
29 - Abu Sulaymaan ad-Daarini said: "When the servant is sincere, the inclination to
show off and the many whisperings (of the Devils) are cut off from him."
30 - It has also been said: "Sincerity is that the servants inward and outward actions are
equal. Riyaa' is when the outward appearance is better than the inner self and truthfulness in one's
sincerity is when the inner self is better cultivated and more flourishing than the outward
appearance."
31 - Some of the Salaf have said: "Sincerity is that you do not seek a witness over your
action besides Allaah or one who gives reward besides Him."
32 - Makhool said: "Never does a servant maintain sincerity for forty days in succession except
that the streams of wisdom from his heart appear on his tongue."
33 - 'Adiyy ibn Haatim said: "The people destined for the Fire will be ordered towards
Paradise until they come close to it and smell its fragrance, see its palaces and what Allaah has
prepared in it for its people. Then an announcement will be made that they be turned away from it.
There will be no portion for them in it. They will return in loss and ruin just like the ones before
them. Then they will say: 'O our Lord! If you had entered us into the Fire before You showed us
what You have shown us from Your reward and what You have prepared for your friends and
allies, it would have been easier upon us.' Then the Exalted will say: 'This is what I intended with
you. When you used to be alone you would combat me (or show boldness to Me) with grave sins and
4. when you used to meet people you would meet them with humility. You would show to the people
other than that which you used to give Me from your hearts. You feared people but you did not fear
Me. You honored the people but you did not honor Me, you abandoned actions for the people but
you did not abandon them for Me. This day, will I make you taste a tormenting punishment as
well as prevent you from receiving that reward."
34 - It has been said: "The damage caused to every servant lies in his being pleased with
himself. Whoever looks at his soul and sees something in it which he deems to be good has caused
its destruction. And whoever does not suspect his soul at every single moment is one who is
deceived."
35 - Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Sincerity is the unification of one's wish and intent."
