Contemplate on this quote . . . and then regret

[Abu Dujanah]

Assalamu 'alaykum,

Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah was asked once (and this is found in his Fatawaa ), about what land is best for Hijrah, and whether there are better places to live in and be in than Makkah and al-Madeenah. The question seems rhetorical ofcourse, because no one would imagine a place better than Makkah and or al-Madeenah, were one salah is equal to 500,000 in any other Masjid. So Shaykh al-Islaam answered by saying: 'Balaa! (ofcourse), the lands of Jihaad are better and more rewarding' . . . so just contemplate, in the haram in Makkah, one salah = 500,000,. . . yet the lands of Jihaad are better ... just contemplate . . . .

How true is Allah's saying that those who are seated (like us, wallahul-musta'an) are not equal to those who believe, and do hijrah and fight in His way . . .

Allahomma ballighna manaazil al-mujaahideen wash-shuhadaa' fee sabeelik. Ameen.

O Allah, make us among those who reach the status (and get the reward of) of al-Mujahideen and ash-Shuhadaa. Ameen.

as salam alykom

Mash aAllah great statement,

but I want u also to ponder on the hadeeth when a companion asked the Prophet (SAW) about the best deeds when he repeated Salatu on time (prayer on time) three times then he mentioned Jihad.

Now I just hope u dont start shouting at me and saying I am discouraging jihad. I just like to put things in order

[Abu Dujanah]

Sis, why do people always change the topic????

lets just stick to the topic, yeah? thanks.

{btw no one is doubting the importance of Salah, as the Prophet said its pillar of Islam}

You like to put things in order, hope my signature helps alot

No one changed the topic, just building on it. No one is also doubting the major importance of jihad, just wanting to put things right.
