◾️Du'a For A New Month or Year◾️

📩🔹Question

Is there a specific Du'a to make at the commencement for the Islamic new year?

📩🔸Answer:

حدثني إبراهيم بن هانىء بن أصبغ قال: أخبرني ابن وهب عن حيوة عن أبي عقيل عن جده عبد الله بن هشام قال:

Ibrāhīm Ibnu Hānī Ibnu Asbag narrated to me that Ibnu Wahb narrated from Ḥaywa from Abū Aqīl from his grandfather AbdulLāh Ibnu Hishām:

كان أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتعلمون هذا الدعاء كما يتعلمون القرآن إذا دخل الشهر أو السنة:

"اللهم أدخله علينا بالأمن والإيمان والسلامة والإسلام وجوار من الشيطان ورضوان من الرحمن."

معجم الصحابة للبغوي: (١٥٣٩)

صححه شيخنا يحيى بن علي الحجوري في كتابه الأذكار

The Companions of the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم used to teach this du'a like they teach the Qur'ān when a (new) month or year enters:

"Oh Allāh, enter it upon us in security, Īmān, safety and Islām and protection from shayṭān and (grant us) pleasure from Ar-Raḥmān(Allāh)."

Mu'jām Aṣ-Ṣaḥābah lil-Bagowī 1539 and our Shaykh Yahyā Ibnu Alī Al-Ḥajūrī حفظه الله ورعاه authenticated it in his book Al-Adhkār.

Nurturing Children
تربية الأولاد

32. Bringing up children upon the true religion and virtuous character.

It came in the two authentic books (1) from the Hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

" كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ، كَمَثَلِ الْبَهِيمَةِ تُنْتَجُ الْبَهِيمَةَ هَلْ تَرَى فِيهَا جَدْعَاءَ ".

“Every child is born in a state of fitrah (the natural state of man, i.e., Islam), then his parents make him into a Jew or a Christian or a Magian.” Just like an animal gives birth to a animal, do you see in it any deformation?

Explanation

The hadeeth points that every new born who is born is an accepter of the religion of Islaam, because the natural disposition accepts it,

Allaah says:

{ فَأَقِمۡ وَجۡهَكَ لِلدِّینِ حَنِیفࣰاۚ فِطۡرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِی فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَیۡهَاۚ } [سُورَةُ الرُّومِ: ٣٠]

So set you (O Muhammad) your face towards the religion of pure Islamic Monotheism: Haneefah (worshipping none except Allah Alone without doing shirk ) Allaah's Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic Monotheism), with which He has created mankind upon. (Suurah Ar-Room: 30)

However the natural disposition can sometimes change due to evil upbringing or abandoning children thus being liable to coming (evil) thoughts and misguiding innovation without warning nor following them up (with what's correct), thus it's Compulsory upon both parents to excel in guiding the children to their natural disposition, by cultivating the correct Creed in them, warning them from shirk, innovation and hypocrisy, nurturing them upon virtuous characters; doing this make one comply to the command of Allaah:

{ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوۤا۟ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَأَهۡلِیكُمۡ نَارࣰا } [سُورَةُ التَّحۡرِيمِ: ٦]

O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families from a Fire (Hell). (Suurah Tahreem:6).

In the two authentic books (1) from the Hadeeth of Ibnu Umar رضي الله عنهما the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

" كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ، وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَالْأَمِيرُ رَاعٍ، وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعٍ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ عَلَى بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا وَوَلَدِهِ، فَكُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ، وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ ".

"All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards and the ruler is a guardian and the man is a guardian of his family; and the woman is a guardian and is responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards."

A Poem

Teach your your children before they grow old
For discipline doesn't benefit after they grow old

Verily the branches when they become straight are firm

The timber can never be softened if it becomes firm.

#Nurturing_Children
#تربية_الأولاد

And this inward beauty is what Allaah looks at

Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"Beauty is divided into two types: outward and inward.

The inward beauty is to love for its own sake, and it is the beauty of knowledge, intelligence, generosity, chastity, and courage.

And this inward beauty is what Allaah looks at in His servant, and it is the place of His love, as in the authentic hadith:

That Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allaah صل الله عليه وسلم said:

"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ ‏"‏

'Allaah does not look at your appearances or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your actions.'
_
Muslim 2564

This inward beauty embellishes the outward appearance, even if it is not that that possess (outward) beauty.

It adorns its owner with beauty, majesty, and sweetness according to the qualities they have acquired; for the believer is given dignity and sweetness according to their Eemaan.

Whoever sees them will respect them, and whoever associates with them will love them.

This is a well-known fact; you see the righteous person with beautiful character as one of the most beautiful people in appearance, even if they are black or not physically beautiful. Especially if they are given a portion of night prayer, it illuminates their face and makes it beautiful.

As for outward beauty, it is an ornament that Allaah has bestowed upon some forms over others, and it is from the increased creation that Allaah said about:

يَزِيدُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَآءُۚ

He increases in creation what He wills.
_
Faatir 35:1

They said it is the beautiful voice, the beautiful appearance, and the hearts that are printed with His love, just as they are engraved with His excellence.

It has been established in the authentic hadith that Abdullaah Ibnu Mas'uud رضي الله عنه reported the Messenger of Allaah صل الله عليه وسلم said:

لا يدخل الجنة من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من كبر فقال رجل” إن الرجل يحب أن يكون ثوبه حسناً ونعله حسناً‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ “إن الله جميل يحب الجمال الكبر بطر الحق وغمط الناس

'Whoever has an atom's weight of arrogance in their heart will not enter Paradise.

'They said: 'O Messenger of Allaah, what if a man likes his shoe to be beautiful and his garment to be beautiful, is that arrogance?'

He said: 'No, Allaah is beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is rejecting the truth and belittling people.'"

THE TRUE FUTURE

There is NO CROWN if your child ends up with a certification that shows his Dunyaa prowess: be it as high as PHd/Professorship or lower.

BUT

There is a CROWN for the parents who their child memorizes the QUR'AAN.

SO

Train your child upon the correct Aqeedah, and guide him towards the memorization of the Glorious Qur'aan.

AND

Get yourself a crown and be enrobed with distinction in front of the whole CREATION!

⤵️
Buraydah رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

"من قرأ القرآن وتعلَّم وعمل به أُلبس والداه يوم القيامة تاجاً من نور ضوؤه مثل ضوء الشمس ، ويكسى والداه حلتين لا تقوم لهما الدنيا فيقولان : بم كسينا هذا ؟ فيقال : بأخذ ولدكما القرآن"

Whoever recites the Qur'aan, learns it, and works with it, his parents would be worn on the day of Qiyaamah (Resurrection) a CROWN from light in which it's brilliance is similar to the sun,

his parents would be ENROBED with suits, a like of which they did not have in the Dunyaa;

then both parents would ask: why are we ENROBED with this?

They will be replied to: because of your son's diligence with the Qur'aan.
