Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

3. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys… But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book.”(Qur’an, 31:19-20)

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

Concerning the Hadeeth ''Ghurbatul-lslam''

Question:

What is the meaning of the Hadeeth: ÈÏÃ ÇáÅÓáÇã ÛÑíÈÇ æÓíÚæÏ ßãÇ ÈÏÃ ÛÑíÈÇ ÝØæÈì ááÛÑÈÇÁ "Islam began strange and it will return strange, so good news is for the strangers." (Muslim no. 145)
Answer:

It means that Islam was strange and new for people in the early days of Islam, in Makkah and Al-Madinah - not many people knew of it, and fewer still believed in it and practiced it. After that it spread and people entered the fold of Islam in droves, and it was victorious over all other religions. But later on, during the final times, Islam will return as strange - only a few people will truly know Islam and only a few will correctly apply it, and they are the "strangers." The Hadeeth:
ÝØæÈì ááÛÑÈÇÁ

"Good news is for the strangers" (Muslim no. 145)

is further explained in a narration of Muslim and others:

ÇáÐíä íÕáÍæä ÅÐÇ ÃÝÓÏ ÇáäÇÓ

"Those who are righteous when the people will be corrupt." (Ahmad no. 4/67)

And in yet another wording,

ÇáÐíä íÕáÍæä ãÇ ÃÝÓÏ ÇáäÇÓ ãä ÈÚÏí ãä ÓäÊí

"They are the ones who will make right what people have corrupted of my Sunnah." (At-Tirmithi no. 2630 and Al-Baghavi 1/121)

We ask Allaah to make us from them; indeed, He is the best to ask.
