Advice on ‘What NOT to Do’ & ‘How We should NOT Be’

An old Arab poet has stated, taking his meaning from an authentic hadeeth:

“I learned evil not for the sake of evil, but to avoid it
And whoever doesn’t know good from evil, he will fall into it.”

This is derived from a hadeeth – and I mean by it, the hadeeth of Hudhaifah Ibn Al-Yamaan, radyAllaahu ‘anhumaa, which is reported in the Saheehs of Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim. He, radyAllaahu ‘anhumaa, said: “The people used to ask Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, about the good, but I used to ask him about the evil for fear of it reaching me.”

[Shaykh al-Albanee - Al-Asaalah, Issue #18]

Some The Characteristics of the Party of Shaitain, the Loosers :

Ayah Quoted in Lecture:

1. Enjoining Evil and forbidding Good

The hypocrites, men and women, are from one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief and polytheism of all kinds and all that Islâm has forbidden), and forbid (people) from Al-Ma’rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and they close their hands [from giving (spending in Allâh's Cause) alms, etc.]. They have forgotten Allâh, so He has forgotten them. Verily, the hypocrites are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).  [Surah at-Toubah 9:67]

2. Al-Hasad (envy/jealousy) & Arrogance (kibr)

“Do they envy men for what Allah has given them of His Bounty?” [Soorah an-Nisa (4): 54]

The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) warned against envy by comparing it to fire that completely burns the wood. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Beware of jealousy (envy /hasad), for verily it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood.” [Abu Dawood]

“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn from the evil of envious when he envies.” [Soorah al-Falaq (113): 1]

It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No one who has an atom’s-weight of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise.” [Abu Dawood]

Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant ones? (Surah az-Zumar 39:60)

3.  To be a cause/love for evil and rancour spread on the ranks of the muslims individually or in society

“Verily, those who like that (the crime of) illegal sexual intercourse should be propagated among those who believe, they will have a painful torment in this world and in the Hereafter.” (An-Noor 24:19)

4. Openly displaying enmity for the believers

Allah said, `Whoever takes a friend of Mine as an enemy, will have started a war with Me”. (Saheeh al-Bukhari and others)

5. Inventing Lies against Allaah

“Say: ‘Verily, those who invent a lie against Allah will never be successful‘” [Yunus 10:69]

“And say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely: “This is lawful and this is forbidden,” so as to invent lies against Allâh. Verily, those who invent lies against Allâh will never prosper.  A passing brief enjoyment (will be theirs), but they will have a painful torment.” (Surah an-Nahl 16:117-118)

6. Turning away from the religion of al-Islam ( by NOT learning it / knowing it / act upon it)

36. And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allâh) (i.e. this Qur’ân and worship of Allâh), We appoint for him Shaitân (Satan ­ devil) to be a Qarîn (an intimate companion) to him.

37. And verily, they (Satans / devils) hinder them from the Path (of Allâh), but they think that they are guided aright!

38. Till, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says [to his Qarîn (Satan / devil companion)] “Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts (or the east and west)” a worst (type of) companion (indeed)!  [ al-Zukruf 43: 36-38]

“But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur’ân nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.” (Surah Taaha 20:124)

7. Following the Desires and People of Desires

“Have you seen him who takes his own lust (vain desires) as his ilâh (god), and Allâh knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then will guide him after Allâh? Will you not then remember?” [ Surah al-Jaathiyah 45:23]

8. To argue with falsehood and spreading corruption in the land

“And of mankind there is he whose speech may please you (O Muhammad ), in this worldly life, and he calls Allâh to witness as to that which is in his heart, yet he is the most quarrelsome of the opponents.

And when he turns away (from you “O Muhammad “), his effort in the land is to make mischief therein and to destroy the crops and the cattle, and Allâh likes not mischief.

 And when it is said to him, “Fear Allâh”, he is led by arrogance to (more) crime. So enough for him is Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest!” [Surah al-Baqarah 2:204-206]

9.  To make fun of the Religion of Islam and its People

“If you ask them (about this), they declare: “We were only talking idly and joking.” Say: “Was it at Allâh (ÚÒ æ Ìá), and His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger () that you were mocking?”

 Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimûn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).” [Surah at-Toubah 9:65-66]
