The Struggle of Cleansing the Heart - Abu Hafsah Kashiff Khan

Abu Hafsah Kashiff Khan (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) delivered at khutbah at Masjid Ahlul Qur’an Wal Hadeeth on the 1st October 2021 commonly known as 18th Street Masjid.  

It was originally posted on the official Spreaker account of the masjid.

This khutbah had such a profound effect on me, that I wanted to share it here with all of you.  It seriously made me think about my own affairs and reflect on them.

It is based upon a question that was asked to him by a brother concerned about his own affairs.

The question was as follows: "There is something wrong with me. I continuously ask Allahu Ta'ala to soften my heart.  I'm continuously asking Allahu Ta'ala to make it easy for me, to read the Qur'an.  I ask Allahu Tabarakahu wa Ta'ala right after the Salawat, Ya Allah, make this easy for me and make that easy for me but I don't find an affect of that dua.  A person comes to me and reminds me with Ayat of the Qur'an, there is no Athar (the affect of that reminder) upon my heart.  So, what is the matter, that I am asking Allah and I am asking Allah and there is no Athar upon my heart?" 
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

More Questions for Shaykh Saaleh al-Luhaydaan

Over the years the Noble Shaykh Saaleh ibn Muhammad al-Luhaydaan (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) has had many questions asked to him from English speaking individuals.  In this ongoing series, I will be presenting some of them that were translated by Mustafa George (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) and others during his classes for the westerners, delivered in Riyadh, KSA.

These translated benefits that are presented in this posting were extracted and digitally remastered from the following class: Aqeedatul Waasitiyyah Class-14- Ibn Taymiyyah- Shaykh Saaleh al-Luhaydaan that was translated by Mustafa George

The complete series can be found at the blog of our Ustadh (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) Knowledge of Islaam.

In this post, I will attempt to and many of those questions along with their translated answers.

Here are the questions:

1 - If an individual oppresses someone and they repent to Allah, is their repentance expiation?
2 - How can I be amongst the sincere and how can I remove pride from my heart?
3 - Is it permissible for me to buy and use the oil over which Qur'an is read over for purpose of ruqya?
4 - Regarding the bridge over the hellfire.  Is it only for the believers, or is it also for the disbelievers?
5 - There is a Masjid that they delay the Friday prayer.  What is your advice for them?
6 - If someone left the land of disbelief and they migrated to Saudi Arabia and they got a residency permit (Iqama). Are they considered someone who has migrated?
7 - When is it obligatory for a boy to pray in the Masjid?
8 - How should the adhaan be called?
9 - Is it permissible to make public someone who has been oppressed, he publically announces who has oppressed him?
10 - Is it confirmed that Hajar was a slave-girl?
11 - Do the angels enter into the homes that have pictures in education books, and the likes?
12 - What is your advice for a man, that when he becomes upset with his wife he speaks to her in a manner which is not befitting.  He says to her:  You think you are better than others.  You think that you are the best, and the likes?
13 - Dua
