Bismillahi wal Hamdullillah was Salaatu Was Salaamu ‘alaa Rasoolillahi

‘Ammaa Ba’d:

No doubt the one who studies the Sunnah of the messenger will realise there are many things taking place around us in the creation of Allah daily that we are unaware of. But the Sunni who aquaints himself with the statements of the messenger Sallallahu ‘alahi wa Salam –  becomes well aquainted with many of the intricacies that take place in the realm of the unseen related to the son of Adam.

Here is another example of that

Upon the authority of Abu Huraira – Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu who said: The Messenger – Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Salaam said:

“There is no one that leaves out (from their home) except that at his hands (and in a variant version ‘His door’) there are two banners, a banner in the hand of an angel and a banner in the hand of a Shaytan. So if he leaves out pursuing that which pleases Allah, he is followed by the Angel with his banner. He does not cease to remain under his banner until he returns to his home. But if he leaves out pursuing that which displeases Allah then he is followed by the Shaytaan with his banner. He does not cease to remain under his banner until he returns to his home.”

(Collected by Ahmad in his ‘Musnad’ (8269, 8286) and and At Tabaraani in ‘Mu’jam Al Awsat’ (4786) and ‘Mu’jam Al Kabeer’ (1012) declared ‘Saheeh’ by Shaikh Ahmad Shaakir – rahimahullah)

Think then Oh servant of Allah about what is is you set out to pursue. May Allah make keep us under the banner of his Angels daily.

Shaykh Badar ibn Naadhir al-Mashaaree narrates(19):

‘One of the (ruqyah) reciters narrates: “That day, I read upon a man who was possessed by a jinn and I spoke to the jinn and said to him; ‘Leave this man, otherwise I will take you to Shaykh Ibn Baaz.’ The jinn cried out, saying: ‘No! By Allaah, if we see Shaykh Ibn Baaz coming along a path, we (change and) go the other way!””

• Ibn Taymiyyah beat him so badly the people were sure he was going to die! (shayaateen.wordpress.com)

Ibn al-Qayyim Al-Jazwiyyah `rahimahullah says:

“Beware of enabling Shaytaan to establish himself in the very home of your thoughts and intentions, as he will corrupt them in such a manner that will make difficult its correction thereafter. He will cast all sort of whisperings and harmful thoughts at you and he will prevent you from thinking about what may benefit you and it is you who have aided him against yourself by empowering him over your heart and thoughts and he then placed you in the possession of such thoughts.”

Al-Fawaa’id of Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jazwiyyah,page. 309

I have a lot of lectures (walhamdulillaah) and I have listened to a quite a few in my time, but here is one lecture that was absolutely amazing.

I can honestly say this lecture delivered by the Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ramzaan al-Haajiri and translated by our brother Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis ranks very highly amongst the very best Arabic/English lectures that I have heard in a very long time.

Its about knowing your Enemy (Shaytaan), his plots and scheming to bring down the destruction of mankind.  The Shaykh (amongst many other things highlights how we can protect ourselves from his plots and plans.

The lecture is free for download from the Shaykh’s website: http://www.ahlussunnahaudio.com/

 Know your Enemy – Shaykh Muhammad Ramzaan al-Haajiri

Listen :

I would advise everyone to download the lecture, listen to it, play it to your family, relatives, friends ecouraging them to pass it on to others for the I could not do the lecture enough benefit even if I tried.  The Shaykh has a unique style of delivering his classes one sentence at a time followed by our brothers translation.

May Allaah reward our Shaykh and our brother Abu Hakeem for bring us this beneficial lecture, ameen!

And whosoever Ya`shu (turns away blindly) from the remembrance of the Most Gracious, We appoint for him Shaytan to be a Qarin (a companion) to him. And verily, they hinder them from the path, but they think that they are guided aright!. Till, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says, “Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts (or the east and west) a worst companion (indeed)!” (Surah Zukhruf 43:36-38)

(And whosoever Ya`shu (turns away blindly)) means, whoever willfully ignores and turns away

(from the remembrance of the Most Gracious,) Al-`Asha (the root of Ya`sh) refers to weakness of vision; what is meant here is weakness of insight.

(We appoint for him Shaytan to be a Qarin (a companion) to him.) This is like the Ayat:

(And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger after the right path has been shown clearly to him) (4:115),

(So when they turned away, Allah turned their hearts away) (61:5), and

(And We have assigned for them intimate companions, who have made fair seeming to them, what was before them and what was behind them) (41:25). Allah says here:

(And verily, they hinder them from the path, but they think that they are guided aright! Until, when he comes to Us,) meaning, for this person who willfully neglects true guidance, We send to him a Shaytan to lead him astray and show him the path to Hell. When he comes before Allah on the Day of Resurrection, he will complain about the Shaytan who was appointed to accompany him.

(he says, “Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts – a worst companion (indeed)!”) Some of them recited it; (حَتْى إِذَا جَاءَانَا) (Till, when they both come to Us.) referring to the companion Shaytan and the one whom he accompanies.

Surah Tafsir Ibn Kathir – Surah Zukhruf 43:36-38
