Secondly: It may be that clinging to falsehood brings him prestige, fame and a livelihood, so it becomes difficult for him to acknowledge that he is upon falsehood, which may result in a loss of all those things (i.e. the fame, prestige, livelihood etc).

Firstly: A person sees that by acknowledging the truth, it would necessitate that he was upon falsehood, because a person is nurtured upon a religion, creed, school of thought or views inherited from his nurturer and teacher, which he considers to be the truth. So when it is manifested that those affairs are falsehood, it becomes difficult for him to acknowledge that. This is because he sees that the deficiencies of his teacher or nurturer necessitate his own deficiencies and an acknowledgement of their misguidance or errors necessitates his own deficiencies.

The Religion comprises of various levels: Refraining from the prohibited affairs and fulfilment of commandments; acknowledging truth, belief in it and being aware of it.  To oppose one’s desires by refraining (from falsehood) for the sake of the truth is something very clear, for indeed most of what is prohibited are the lusts and (evil) pleasures.  It may be that a person does not really desire anything of those (prohibited) things in particular, but he merely desires them due to an opponent. To oppose one’s desires–by way of action– for the sake of the truth is a manifest affair due to the responsibility and difficulty it necessitates, and this occurs from different angles….

Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) said: It is obligated on the people of truth to exercise patience and increase in adhering to this religion of truth. Whenever the desires become abundant, it becomes necessary to increase in acquainting (oneself) with the truth and adhering to it, as the Messenger (alayhis salaatu was-salaam) said:

The one who lives long amongst you will see a lot of differences, so upon you is that you follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided khulafaa. Bite onto it with your molar teeth (i.e. hold onto it firmly) and beware of newly invented matters (in the religion), for every newly invented matter (in the religion) is a bidah and every bidah is misguidance.’’

A husband finished worked very early today and had a long day with his wife and kids. After dinner, husband washed the dishes to demonstrate a nice gesture. Wife insisted that the dishes and the rest of the household affairs are her responsibility and not that of the husband, but husband insisted that he only wanted to lighten her burden after she stood for two hours making dinner for him and the children. We ask Allaah (The Most High) to grant us a lot of compassion in our marriages. Aameen.  picture: nice gesture

Husband says that he only desires to remind us of some of those little things that can make a big difference In-Shaa-Allaah.

Assalaamu alaykum Warahmatullaah

Some Salafi brothers (may Allaah reward them with good in this life and the next) informed me that the reference for this kalaam is incorrect. Likewise, after checking few sources, it became apparent that there are no reliable sources attributing the speech to the Shaikh and Allaah knows best. Therefore, this post will be removed until a correct source is found, but if not it will not be posted again. However, if anyone can further ascertain its correctness or incorrectness, then please benefit us.
