Do you want your actions "rectified" before Allah and your bad deeds forgiven? Beware of Allah at all times and always speak a word in which there is benefit.
The best guidance of all is the guidance of Muhammad (sas). The worst of all affairs are innovations. Anything which is innovated or invented in this religion which is contrary to the Sunnah or is of the knowledge of the unseen and is not corroborated by the Qur'an and Sunnah is rejected, thrown back at its innovator and his is a sin for what he innovated along with all the sins of those who follow his innovation until Yaum Al-Qiyama without that diminshing their sins in the least. Actions loved by Allah are those which are both SINCERE and CORRECT. Beware of focusing on one of these but neglecting the other. Neither one of those is sufficient by itself for an action to be accepted. Following anything other than the above is called following "hawaa". This word means ones own desires, inclinations, understandings or tendencies. Allah said:
القصص
قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِكِتَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ أَهْدَى مِنْهُمَا أَتَّبِعْهُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ(49)فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنَ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ(50)
The Prophet (sas) said:
البخاري
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ
Look for obedience to Allah in all things and never become complacent.
مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يُؤْذِ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ (البخاري)
What is the way to that? Taqwa – consciousness and remembrance of Allah at all times. Ta'ala – obey Allah and his Messenger in that which is easy and that which is difficult; that which appeals to your desires and that which does not. We will not return to security and power until we understand this concept once again.
عَلَيْكَ السَّمْعَ وَالطَّاعَةَ فِي عُسْرِكَ وَيُسْرِكَ وَمَنْشَطِكَ وَمَكْرَهِكَ وَأَثَرَةٍ عَلَيْكَ (مسلم)
Rulers of Muslims must be supported and not opposed for as long as they take the Shari'a as the law of the land and uphold it. If the commit injustice within this framework, they should be corrected and petitioned, but not fought. Even the Prophet's (sas) order for the Khilafa to remain within Quraish was conditioned on this (though some have misunderstood it to mean forever):
إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِي قُرَيْشٍ لَا يُعَادِيهِمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَا أَقَامُوا الدِّينَ
So you want your deeds rectified? Your bad to be overlooked or turned into good? Your good to be met with shukr from Allah? Then have taqwa of Allah and always say what is right, what is correct and what is constructive. Allah said:
يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا(70)يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا(71)
Beware of being of those who actually CAUSE corruption in the land, in the deen and in the Muslims, while thinking that they are the best of the Muslims. The Islamic meaning of being "part of the problem and not part of the solution". Allah will NOT rectify the deeds of those who do that. Allah said:
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ مُلْقُونَ (80) فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوسَى مَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ السِّحْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ (81) وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ (82)
Islam is only one way. It is the way of the Prophet (sas), his Companions and the first three generations.
خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ قَالَ عِمْرَانُ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ بَعْدَ قَرْنِهِ قَرْنَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ بَعْدَكُمْ قَوْمًا يَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَنْذُرُونَ وَلَا يَفُونَ وَيَظْهَرُ فِيهِمْ السِّمَنُ
As-samin (not as-saman): 1) love for food and going to excess in consumption or 2) being "puffed up" and loving to claim or show beyond one's actual state or status. It does not mean "fatness" which is something which Allah creates in some people and is not necessarily their doing.
The praising of the first three generations is in general and overall. There were surely the few in those generations who had the blameworthy attributes but what is considered here is their overall state.
This nation of ours is one nation. When this is our reality and any one part of it hurts, we all experience the pain. Is this our state?
مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى
(المؤمنون: {وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونِ(52)فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ(53)فَذَرْهُمْ فِي غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ(54) ...
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِمْ مُشْفِقُونَ(57)وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ(58)وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ(59) وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا ءَاتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ رَاجِعُونَ(60)أُولَئِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ(61)
الحشر أَلَمْ تَر إِلَى الَّذِينَ نَافَقُوا يَقُولُونَ لِإِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَئِنْ أُخْرِجْتُمْ لَنَخْرُجَنَّ مَعَكُمْ وَلَا نُطِيعُ فِيكُمْ أَحَدًا أَبَدًا وَإِنْ قُوتِلْتُمْ لَنَنْصُرَنَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ(11) ....
كَمَثَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِذْ قَالَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ اكْفُرْ فَلَمَّا كَفَرَ قَالَ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْكَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ(16)فَكَانَ عَاقِبَتَهُمَا أَنَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ خَالِدَيْنِ فِيهَا وَذَلِكَ جَزَاءُ الظَّالِمِينَ(17) يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ(18)وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَأَنْسَاهُمْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ(19)
Second:
Below is the Khutbah, which Prophet SAW gave on the
last day of Shabaan as narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah.
Oh people! A great month has come over you; a blessed month; a month in which is a night better than a thousand months; month in which Allah has made it compulsory upon you to fast by day, and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer (to Allah) by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month) shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at any other time, and whoever discharges an obligatory deed in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time. It is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Heaven. It is the month of charity, and a month in which a believer's sustenance is increased. Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast, shall have his sins forgiven, and he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall have the same reward as the fasting person, without his reward being diminished at all.
One nation, one nation!
الأنبياء إِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ(92)وَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلٌّ إِلَيْنَا رَاجِعُونَ(93)
اللهم ارنا الحق ...
ربنا لا تجعلنا فتنة للقوم الظالمين ، ونَجِّنا برحمتك من القوم الكافرين
اللهم إنا ضعفاء فقوِّ في رضاك ضعفنا ، وخذ إلى الخير بنواصينا ، واجعل الإسلام منتهى رضائنا .اللهم إنا ضعفاء فقوِّنا ، وإنا أذلاء فأعزنا ، وإنا فقراء فارزقنا
اللهم اهد ضال المسلمين. اللهم! ردنا إليك رداً جميلاً. اللهم! اللهم! أعز الإسلام والمسلمين، وأذل الشرك والمشركين، ودمر أعداءك أعداء الدين اللهم! آمنا في أوطاننا، وأصلح ولاة أمورنا. اللهم! انصر من نصر الدين، واخذل من خذل الدين. ... اللهم! إنا نسألك خشيتك في الغيب والشهادة، وكلمة الحق في الغضب والرضى،
عباد الله! هذا وصلوا وسلموا على من أمرتم بالصلاة والسلام عليه امتثالاً لأمر ربكم القائل:
{ إن الله وملائكته يصلون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما } [الأحزاب:56].
