The Prophet's Methods Of Correcting People's Mistakes







Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid
There are many teaching methods with different means and aids. Correcting mistakes is one of these teaching methods and educationalists call is the "remedial method." Correcting people's mistakes is essential if teaching people is the aim. Correcting mistakes is a divine method the Prophet (pbuh) practiced as the Qur'an was sometimes revealed to correct some mistakes of the Sahabah (companions of the Prophet).

The Prophet (pbuh) was divinely guided in correcting the mistakes of people. So his methods are the best mankind has ever known. Following the example of the Prophet (pbuh) is therefore the best approach if one is really keen to teach Islamic knowledge and all the other branches of knowledge.

The author has in this book compiled many methods of the Prophet (pbuh) for teaching people and correcting their mistakes. This book, as such, is indispensable for everyone who is concerned with education in general, and Islamic knowledge in particular.

Dealing with Worries and Stress







Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid
It is the nature of this life that people will suffer from worries and
stress, because this world is the place of disease, hardship and
suffering. It is also the nature of this life that people have to put
with suffering and hardship for various reasons. So people feel regret
for what has happened in the past, anxious about that may happen in the
future, and worried about what is going on in the present. The things
that cross our mind and make us feel distressed are things in the past
that have caused grief, things in the future that we are worried about,
and things in the present which concern us.


People react differently to stress and worries, depending on how many
things are concerning them, whether the worry is continuous or not, and
on whether they have faith in their hearts or are rebellious and sinful.
We may describe people's hearts as being of two types: either the heart
is the throne of Allaah, filled with light, life, happiness, joy and
all the treasures of goodness; or it is the throne of Shaytaan, wherein
is distress, darkness, death, grief, worry and anxiety.

33 Ways of developing Khushoo in Salaah








By Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
Salaah is the greatest of the practical pillars of Islam, and khushoo in
prayer is required by shareeah. When Iblees, the enemy of Allaah, vowed
to mislead and tempt the sons of Adam and said Then I will come to them
from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left
[al-Araaf 7:17, interpretation of the meaning], one of his most
significant plots became to divert people from salaah by all possible
means and to whisper to them during their prayer so as to deprive them
of the joy of this worship and cause them to lose the reward for it. As
khushoo will be the first thing to disappear from the earth, and we are
living in the last times, the words of Hudhayfah (may Allaah be pleased
with him) are particularly pertinent to us: The first thing of your
religion that you will lose is khushoo, and the last thing that you will
lose of your religion is salaah. There may be a person praying who has
no goodness in him, and soon you will enter the mosque and not find
anyone who has khushoo. (al-Madaarij, 1/521).

Weakness of Iman







Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid
The phenomenon of weak faith has become very widespread among Muslims, and many people complain about the hardness of their hearts. So often we
hear the words, I feel hardness in my heart, I do not find any joy in worship, I feel that my faith has hit rock bottom, Reading Quraan does not move me, I fall into sin so easily. The effects of this affliction can be seen in many people, and this problem is the cause of every disaster and adversity.

Forbidden








The Forbidden, Issues Of Great Importance That We Underestimate.
Al-Muharramat (the forbidden) are the limits of Allaah (the Mighty and
Magnificent).
"These are the limits of Allaah, so do not approach them".
. Allaah has threatened whoever transgresses His limits and violates His
sacraments stating (Glorified be He):
"And whoever disobeys Allaah and His messenger and transgresses His
limits - He will put him into the fire to abide eternally therein, and
he will have a humilating punishment."
It is obligatory to avoid al-muharramaat in view of the saying of the
prophet:
"And whatever I forbade you, then avoid it and whatever I enjoined upon
you, then fulfill as much of it as you able."
I ask Allaah guidance, success, and observance of His limits for myself
and for my Muslim brothers. I ak Him (Glorified be He) to help us avoid
al-muharramaat and protect us from sins and evil deeds, Allaah is the
best protector and He is the Most Merciful (Author)

Rulings of Udhiyah Sacrifice







By:
Udhiyah refers to the animal (camel, cattle or sheep) that is sacrificed
as an act of worship to Allaah, in the country in which the person
offering the sacrifice lives, during the period from after the Eid
prayer on the Day of Nahr (Eid al-Adhaa) until the last of the Days of
Tashreeq (the 13 th day of Dhul-Hijjah), with the intention of offering
sacrifice.

Udhiyah is one of the great rituals of Islam, in which we remember the
Unity of Allaah, His blessings upon us and the obedience of our father
Ibraaheem to his Lord, and in this act of udhiyah there is much goodness
and blessing. So the Muslim must pay attention to its great importance.

Matters Related to Fasting








by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid. Allah has blessed His slaves
with certain seasons of goodness, in which hasanat (rewards for good
deeds) are multiplied, sayyi'at (bad deeds) are forgiven, people's
status is raised and the hearts of the believers turn to their Lord.
Those who purify themselves attain success and those who corrupt
themselves fail.

One of the greatest acts of worship is fasting, which Allah has made
obligatory to his slaves.

As the status of this act of worship is so high, it is essential to
learn the Ahkam (rulings) that have to do with the month of fasting, so
that the Muslim will know what is obligatory, in order to do it, what is
haram, in order to avoid it, and what is permissible, so that he does
not need to subject himself to hardship by depriving himself of it.

This book is a good summary of the rulings, etiquettes, and Sunnah of
fasting.
