God Almighty sent Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, with the final message that included the happiness of nations and the life of peoples, a stable life emanating from “righteousness and connection,” which is the highest level of worship in Islam. “Righteousness and connection” were among the greatest meanings contained in that message of Muhammad. Islam prescribed benevolence for everything, and made it the best of deeds to maintain the relationship between the servant and his Lord, and between individuals with each other. There is no doubt that relationships in any society are based, at best, on obligations from one party to the other party, and considering their performance for others, they are called “duties.” Considering their entitlement to others, they are called “rights,” and among those rights and duties were righteousness and connection.

And righteousness in the use of the Sharia: a word that includes all types of goodness, and what is meant by it is what is beyond the limits of piety. It is a rank above piety, and below the rank of charity. As for connection: it is kindness, tenderness, and the connection of God Almighty to His servants, His mercy to them, and His compassion, Glory be to Him, by His grace upon them or His connection to them with the people of His kingdom and companions. The highest, his closeness to them, and the explanation of their closed chests.

This book includes fifty-four, including: Chapter One: On mentioning what is reasonable in honoring one’s parents and maintaining family ties. Chapter Seven: On how to be kind to one’s parents. Chapter Sixteen: On mentioning the nature of disobedience. Chapter Twenty-one: On the sin of causing people to curse them. Chapter Twenty-sixth: On the reward of spending on one’s children, Chapter fifty: On sponsoring an orphan, Chapter fifty-four: On the fact that the people of goodness in this world are the people of goodness in the afterlife.

❇️ Some reviews of the book Al-Birr and Silah by Ibn Al-Jawzi ❇️

▪️Source of reviews: www.goodreads.com/book/show/20443713▪️

- In your hands is a comprehensive book of many of the virtues that Islam urged us to do, and which our Prophet Muhammad communicated to us, and after him his companions and followers, may God be pleased with them.

Fifty-four doors and windows that open and illuminate, erasing from the heart the darkness of cruelty, self-love and evil.

Fifty-four chapters in which Ibn al-Jawzi narrates about virtues, accompanied by hadiths from the Sunnah, and stories from the Successors and Companions. That book accompanied me at a time when I needed it, at a time when I wanted my cloud to be removed from my soul and rain on my breath...and it was.

I will not speak for long or offer quotations, as the entire book is wisdom and a lesson for us... What affected me most were the chapters on honoring one’s parents and offering obedience to them, and urging submission and submission to them. I see our situation and the heart sinks, and I pray to God to forgive us for our shortcomings in their rights, and to have mercy on those who died.

One of the fun and delicious books, with a sweet style.. I recommend it. One of the books that I would like to buy is Paper.. to give it to everyone around me so that they may breathe as I did :)

❇️ Some quotes from the book Al-Birr and Silah by Ibn Al-Jawzi ❇️

“Ali bin Al-Hussein bin Ali bin Abi Talib would not eat with his mother, and he was the most virtuous of people towards her, so he was told about that and he said: I am afraid to eat with her, and her eye will go to some food and I do not know about it, so I will eat it, and then I will have aqiyyat her.”

“Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, when he wanted to leave his house, he would stand at his mother’s door and say: Peace be upon you, my mother, and God’s mercy and blessings. She would say: Peace be upon you, my son, and God’s mercy and blessings. He would say: May God have mercy on you as you raised me when I was young. She would say: May God have mercy on you as you raised me when I was young. Big, and if he wanted to enter, he would make something similar.”

“Ahmad said: Yazid narrated to us, he said: Hisham reported, on the authority of Hafsa, on the authority of Salman bin Amir, he said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying: Giving charity to the poor is charity, and giving charity to a relative is twofold: charity, and upholding ties of kinship.”
