✨Advice: How to Set Your State Aright – Imam Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله
"Let’s strive to be close to Allah.
Let’s long for the dwelling of peace wherein there is no toil, stress or weariness.
The easiest way is to consider the fact that you are passing a period that lies between two other periods, namely your current life, which is the present one and it is between your past and your future.
The past can be set aright through repentance, regret and asking the forgiveness of Allah, and this is a way, which affords you no toil, weariness or hard work, as it is concerned with the heart.
The future can be set aright by abstaining from misdeeds, and this is a means of comfort and relief for you, for it is not a difficult act, but it is an intention that relieves your body, heart, and your mind.
In brief, your past is set aright through repentance; your future is set aright through abstention, determination and intention, which have nothing to do with overburdening the body.
However, our concern here is with the present time as it stands between the two other periods. If you waste it, then you are wasting your happiness and salvation. On the contrary, if you maintain it through setting your past and present aright, indeed you will attain success, salvation, relief, and pleasure.."
Improving your present state is much more difficult than setting your past and your future aright, because it means that you should abide by the most deserving and beneficial deeds to achieve happiness. There are great differences between people in this regard. This is your chance to take the provision for your Hereafter, either Paradise or Hellfire. So, if you take this path to your Lord, you will attain glorious happiness and great success during this short period of time which has no value compared with eternity. However, if you prefer vain desires, idleness, play and amusement, the period would pass quickly, followed by a permanent and great pain, the suffering of which is much more severe than the suffering of patience, the patience required to obey Allah.

Clarification on the statement of Ibn Uthaymeen’s - "The Salafi Sect" Vs. The Way of the Salaf by Dr. Abdulilah Lahmami
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I asked Dr. Abdulilah Lahmami حفظه الله if what did Shaykh ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله meant on the Salafi sect. He replied:
❝Yā akhī, this kalām of Shaykh Al-‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله, he mentioned it in front of Shaykh Rabee’, and Shaykh Rabee’ corrected him by saying “Do not put Salafiyyah with all the other groups”, then at the end Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله said “Take from your brother what he has said”. So they have cut it without mentioning the rest of the tape, so they are deceiving people, or they are ignorant Bārakallāhu feek.
Secondly, Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله in 'Aqīdatul Wasitiyyah himself says “Whoever follows the Qur'ān and Sunnah in the understanding Salaf then he is Salafī. [Page 34 Sharh Al-'Aqīdatul Wasitiyyah].
Also my dear brother, Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله i met myself personally, in Hajj time, and mentioned to him about his Kalām regarding, he said what he is against is that you don’t be partisan, thinking that you are saved (Not correcting mistakes), and that’s what he was against, not against ascribing to the way of the Salaf Bārakallāhu feek.
And as I said Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said in volume 4 p.149 bārakallāhu feek, there is no harm in ascribing to the way of the Salaf, and saying I’m a Salafi. They used it in the past, and we use it now. Imām Adh-Dhahabi رحمه الله said in Siyār An-Nubalā, 'Abdullah bin Mubarak As-Salafi. So it’s not an issue Akhī Barakallāhu feek.
And as I said Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله took it back, when he was corrected by shaykh Rabee’ when Shaykh Rabee’ visited the 'Unayza. So tell this people, stop lying about the Shaykh, or at least know what the Shaykh is saying Bārakallāhu feek.❞ -End Quote

♻️PONDER OVER THIS :RELIGION IS NOT LEFT UP TO THE INTELLECTS OF MEN AND OPINIONS♻️
The Religion is ‘not left up to the intellects of men and their opinions:
From Shaykh Fawzaan‘s حفظك الله explanation of Sharh-us-Sunnah:
His saying, “It was not left up to the intellects of men and their opinions.”
The Religion is not what men deem to be good or what they hold as their opinion, because this is not the Religion of Allaah. This is the Religion of the people, which they have newly invented. As for the Religion of Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, then it is what He legislated. As for that which the men hold as their opinion, based upon their own opinions, this is not the Religion of Allaah the Perfect and Most High. Rather it is just a religion of whoever holds that opinion. So nothing can be ascribed to Allaah from the Religion except that which He legislated upon the tongue of His Messenger sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam. And as for what others besides Him legislated, then it cannot be ascribed to Allaah, rather it can only be ascribed to whoever legislated it, and Allaah is free of it.
He the Most High said:
Do they have partners who legislate for them religion which Allaah has not permitted (Sooratush-Shooraa (42), aayah 21)
His saying, “And its knowledge is with Allaah and His Messenger sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam.” The affairs of the Religion are towqeefiyyah (depend upon text); there must be proofs from Allaah and His Messenger with regard to the affairs of the Religion. The matter is restricted to what occurs in the Book and the Sunnah from the affairs of the Religion. And newly introduced matters and innovations are abandoned, that which Allaah has not sent down any proof for – even if their people hold them to be religion, and they draw closer to Allaah through them, then we turn no attention to these things and we do not believe in them, because the Religion of Allaah is what He legislated and His Messenger.
Because the Religion is based upon knowledge which came from Allaah and His Messenger. And do not follow the desires of the people and the opinions of the people and what they declare to be good and what they follow each other upon, and it has no basis in the Book of Allaah or the Sunnah of His Messenger sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam. Just as he `alayhis-salaatu was-salaam said:
“Whoever introduces into this affair of ours that which is not from it, it is rejected.”
And in one narration:
“Whoever does an action which our affair is not in accordance with, it is rejected”[1]
So the person who wishes that his action be righteous and be beneficial, then he should adhere to two matters:
The first matter: is that he makes his Religion pure for Allaah and free from shirk.
And the second matter: ittibaa` following the Sunnah of Allaah’s Messenger sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, free of innovations and newly introduced affairs.
A person will indeed find many things which contradict what is correct in the `aqeedah, matters which contradict what is correct in matters of worship, many of them; (because) the people have desires, and have their own aspirations, and they have their own opinions and they have their own ways (which they follow). So we do not follow the people, rather we present whatever the people are upon to the Book and the Sunnah. So whatever conforms with the Book and the Sunnah then it is the Truth, and whatever contradicts these two then it is false and futile.

"If your brother makes a mistake, then treat and remedy him with kindness and wisdom. If one of us falls, his brother should (help) treat him with kindness and wisdom. Some people have severity and sharpness, if one falls, they would -very regrettably – finish him off. So stay away from the destructive severity and harshness, be merciful towards each other and give advice with wisdom and fair preaching."

Why call yourself “Salafi”? Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab, Ibn Baaz, Al-Albaanee and Ibn ‘Uthaimeen
Ibn Taymiyyah said (d.728): “There is no criticism upon the one who makes manifest the Madh-hab of the Salaf, and ascribes himself to it, and affiliates himself to it [by saying: I am Salafi], rather that anoscription is accepted from him by consensus for indeed the madh-hab of the Salaf is nothing other than the truth.” (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 4/149)
Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhaab (d.1206) said: “We are, and praise be to Allaah, followers and not innovators. We are followers of the Book and Sunnah and of the Righteous Salaf of this Ummah, upon the Madh-hab of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, the Madh-hab that Allaah’s Messenger (ﷺ) commanded with.”
‘Abdul-’Azeez Ibn Baaz (d.1420) was asked concerning the Saved Sect, so he responded: “They are the Salafis and all those who proceed upon the path of the Righteous Salaf.”
Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaanee (d.1420) said: “There is no doubt that the apparent, clear and distinguishing noscript is that [when] we say: “I am a Muslim upon the Book and Sunnah and upon the manhaj of our Righteous Salaf,” is that you saying in shortened terms: “I am a Salafi”.”
Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-’Uthaimeen (d.1421) said: “Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah, in belief, they are the Salaf – and even a person of later times until the Day of Resurrection. So long as he is upon the path of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions, then he is a Salafi.” (Sharh al-’Aqeedatil-Waasitiyyah, 8/40 part of his Majmoo’ al-Fataawa)

The Righteous Salafi Woman
An amazing piece of advice from Sheikh Muhammad Bazmool حفظه الله:
English translation:
The righteous Salafi woman:
It is not a condition that she has to know the various groups and parties
It is not a condition that she has to repeat the statements and phrases of the scholars of the Salaf
It is not necessary that she has to know the jarh (criticism) of so-and-so
It is not a condition that she has to know the Salafi scholars
It is not a condition that she has to know the prevalent affairs
It is not a condition that she has to fast the days of the full moon, nor every Monday and Thursday Neither does she have to establish the night prayer every night
It is enough for her…
To be diligent upon the five daily prayers
To fast Ramadaan
To look after herself and her husband, take care of her house and her child
Her house is her kingdom, her husband is her guardian and her children are her flock The Messenger (ﷺ) did not mention except:
That she should be affectionate and kindhearted towards her child, guard [the honor] of her husband and also his property She combines this with fulfilling the right of her Lord
Clarification:
The matters which I have mentioned as “not a condition”:
If she has this in her then it is better. However, I have seen ghuloo (exceeding of limits) by some of the youth when they seek these characteristicsfrom a woman when they desire to marry her. I have also seen some women exaggerate when asking about these matters, wanting to delve into them too deeply.
I therefore explained the basis of what should be sought in a woman, that she should be a righteous Salafi woman, without the need for different conditions. The knowledge that she is actually in need of is what is specific to her femininity and womanhood, because she is a woman.
Anything more than this, her husband should teach her, and she follows her husband in this, because he is her guardian and the responsibility to guard over her is upon him.
Allah knows best.

The Truth is Gold
Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
The truth is like (the metal) gold - the more it withstands vigorous tests in checking its strength and authenticity, the more it increases in quality and honour.
As for falsehood, then its false illumination is bound to decay. The more it is tested, the more of its corruption is exposed.

3. Urine,
4. Excrement,
5. Gas (I.e. fart),
6. The vomit,
7. The Sneeze,
8. The sleep,
9. Hunger,
10. Thirst.
All these ten things lead to some sorts of damage if they are kept (in the body while it
wants to exit it)."

Dear Muslimah,
Modesty is a woman's best weapon!
Be like a diamond, precious and rare, not like a stone found every where.
Every precious thing is covered! A woman modestly dressed is like a pearl in its shell.
You may not be a fairy tale princess, but you are always a princess of Islam.
Your value as a women is not measured by the size of your waist or the number of men who like you.
Your worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale of righteousness and piety.
Hijab includes the way you walk, talk, look, and think -- all of it should be done modestly.
The sun doesn't lose its beauty when its covered by the clouds, the same way your beauty doesn't fade when you are wearing a hijab.
Your purpose in life despite what the fashion magazines say is something more sublime than just looking good for men.
Your beauty is for your man (husband), not for the mankind.
Even though a man is responsible for his gaze, you are responsible for what you give him to gaze at, so guard your modesty.
Hijab with a bad attitude isn't hijab. Hijab with tight clothes on isn't hijab. Hijab with layers of makeup isn't hijab. Hijab is beautiful, so make it look beautiful.
Wear it with love, wear it with pride, and most of all wear it Right.

The Worst Fitnah
It is reported that Ḥudhayfah – Allāh be pleased with him – was asked:
“What is the worst fitnah?” He replied, “That good and evil is presented to you and you do not know which of them to follow.”

Know, my son, that my father was a rich man who left wealth worth thousands behind him. When I reached puberty, I was given twenty dinars and two houses and I was told it was all he had left. I took the dinars and bought books of Sacred Knowledge with them. I sold the houses and spent the money in my pursuit of knowledge. Nothing remained of the wealth I have inherited. Your father has never humiliated himself in his quest of knowledge nor has he gone around cities like other preachers have. He has never sent a note asking something from others and all his affairs are running smoothly: {For him who fears Allah, He shall make a way out and provide for him from places he could not expect.} [Surah at-Talaq: 2-3]

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "He who is asked about knowledge (of religion) and conceals it, will be bridled with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection."

Ruling on medical insurance made by institutions and companies on the employees and their families – alifta
Source : alifta.com – Issued by the Permanent Committee
Q: Some private companies and businesses offer medical insurance to their employees and their families. To provide this service, they make an agreement with some private hospitals. This agreement is as follows:
1- The company pays the hospital a fixed monthly amount of 100 Riyals for each employee, regardless of the number of times they visit the hospital to have treatment.
2- The hospital is responsible to treat the employees, giving them the necessary medications and performing surgery for them when necessary. It is important to mention that the hospital spends more than 100 Riyals some months on treating an employee, especially when the person has an operation.
At other times, an employee may not visit the hospital at all and thus, does not benefit from the 100 Riyals or he may benefit only from a small amount. The question now is: First, is this type of medical insurance permissible or does it involve uncertainty and deception?
Second, does this kind of insurance fall under the permissible Ji’alah (payment for a permanent job, not a fief) as some researchers have said (i.e., Majallat Al-Buhuth Al-Fiqhiyyah Al-Mu`asirah, “Contemporary Jurisprudence Research Journal”, issue no. 31)? Third, what are the characteristics of a lawful cooperative medical insurance?
A: The transaction mentioned in the question falls under the category of prohibited commercial insurance, which involves uncertainty, deception and devouring people’s money falsely. The permissible cooperative medical insurance is to establish a charity fund that is paid to help the needy and sick people without the donor expecting any financial benefit from it. Giving the money to the fund should only aim at helping the needy, and hoping for the Reward of Allah (Exalted be He). May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
