Beware of the #HajjSelfie - Shaykh Abdur Razzāq al-Badr said: When the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ͑ alayhī wa-sallam) reached the Miqāt he would say: "O Allāh make this a Hajj without Riya and without trying to be heard of." This supplication is said at the Miqāt. And after making this supplication it is followed by action and striving against the soul. But now at the Miqāt many of the people are taking pictures as mementoes. They take pictures on Tawāf, and Arafāt, and while throwing at the Jamrāt. It is as though the only purpose of this trip is to take pictures and it is not worship which they desire to see on the Day of Judgment as a great reward with Allāh. And when they return home they say: 'Come, look at me, this is me on Arafāt, this is me in Muzdalifah! And we have seen some of the people when they are ready to take the picture they raise their hands in the appearance of humility, fear, and tranquillity. And then after the picture is snapped they drop their hands. Were these hands raised for Allāh? No, by Allāh; these hands were only raised for the picture, and the picture was only taken to show off to the people. And when some of them return home they make photo albums!

Money will not Buy You Happiness | Shaykh bin Baaz -may Allah have mercy upon him- Questioner: The questioner seeks an explanation to the noble verse in Soorah Taha "But whosoever turns away from My remembrance verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection." He will say: "O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)." [Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten.” [Soorah Taha 20:124-126] Does this verse apply to every person who is heedless of the remembrance of Allah? Shaykh bin Baaz: This is a severe threat to the person who turns away from the remembrance of Allah and turns away from His obedience, thus he does not give Allah His rights. This is his recompense. He will have a restricted difficult life, even if he has a great deal of wealth and riches. His life will be made difficult due to the distress, pain, and hardship that befalls his heart. Thus his great wealth will not benefit him. He will be in distress and hardship due to his turning away from the remembrance of Allah and His obedience. Then he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement blind. The intent is this applies to the person who turns away from the obedience of Allah the Exalted, and His rights. He does not give concern to the commands of Allah, rather he commits actions which He has prohibited, and leaves off obeying Him. This is his recompense. We ask Allah for safety and security. #theBeneficialKnowledge Translated by Rasheed ibn Estes Barbee in #mtws - https://mtws.posthaven.com/money-will-not-buy-you-happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0mx_aAv9V/?igshid=1rsmt4kon292w
