Amma ba'd
It is reported that Jundub bin 'Abdillaah Al-Bajali (radiallaahu 'anhu) was once asked for advice and instruction.
He said:
quote:
I advise you to fear Allaah and obey Him (taqwa) and I advise you to adhere to the Qur`an, for it is a light in the dark night and a guidance during the day, so implement it no matter how much struggle and poverty you have to face.
If a calamity befalls you, put your wealth forward to protect your religion, and if the calamity continues, put forward your wealth and your life to save your religion [but never risk your religion], for the ruined is he whose religion is ruined, and the looted is he whose religion is taken. And know that there is no poverty after Paradise, and no riches after the Fire.
Al-Dhahabi, Siyar A'laam Al-Nubalaa` 3:174.
Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk
If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.
