Shaykh Aḥmad Bazmūl states:
'This is how important this is, this knowledge is dīn, something that he will be raised with on the day of judgment...the Muslim must look and take his dīn from Ahl al-Sunnah, al-Salafīyyūn, known for knowledge, being upright and having taqwá'
'Imām Mālik said it is not enough for someone to be a worshipper, and to be known for Zuhd, outward expression of worship, that you take from them...but they did not take from them because that was not their affair (knowledge), they were worshippers that's all. In this time we see someone who has a lihyah (beard), his thobe above his ankles and he is then the muftī of his area, this is a mistake!'
'It is forbidden for the one who is asked and doesn't know, to answer. Likewise it is ḥarām for the one to ask one who doesn't know...he has to ask the scholar...if you had a medical situation, would we go to a mechanic? And if we had a problem with our car, would we go to a farmer...no we would go to each individual who is a specialist in their field...so when it comes to the issue of dīn, we must go to the scholars, it is not right to ask (just) anybody or do what everyone else is doing.'
Abū Dardāʾ went to the masjid one day (in the time of the tabiʿīn) and he observed the people praying differently than according to the Sunnah, so he came home angry and his wife (Ummu al-Dardāʾ) asked him what has made you angry? He said, 'By Allāh I don't see anything from the time of the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) except praying together (meaning that they had abandoned much of the Sunnah). This is his statement whilst he was close to the time of the Messenger (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). So what about now? 1400 years after that, are general masses upon Sunnah? Are the general masses upon knowledge? No! Rather we should follow the scholars!'

The great Taabi’ee Muhammad ibn Sireen (D.110AH) said: “Indeed this knowledge is your religion, so look to whom you take your religion from.” Be careful who you take your deen from!
قال الإمام محمد بن سيرين:
The Imaam Muhammad bin Sireen said: «إِنَّ هَذَا العِلْمَ دِيْنٌ؛ فَانْظُرُواْ عَمَّنْ تَأخُذُوْنَ دِيْنَكُمْ». “Indeed this knowledge is the religion, so be careful with regards to the one whom you take your religion from” (أخرجه مسلم في مقدمة صحيحه). Imaam Muslim collected it in the introduction to his Saheeh. Shaykh Aḥmad ibn ʿUmar Bazmūl Hafidahullah in his lecture based upon the famous statement of Muḥammad Ibn Serīn: "This knowledge is a matter of dīn, so be careful who you take your dīn from." Says, Due to the weakness in the Ummah and lack of comprehension of the pure Islamic methodology, it is common in our time that an ignorant person is taken as a person of knowledge, and that an ignorant person assumes the role and responsibility of a speaker and caller to Islām. Despite the mountain of statements from the Salaf, the likes of al-Lālakāʿī, al-Barabahārī, Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Ibn Sirīn and so on imploring the Muslims to stick to the Scholars, the people of sunnah (the jamaʿāh) and to stay away from doubtful matters.

A Disliked Qadr
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
What a person should do if he has been afflicted with Qadr which he dislikes
Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:
‘If a disliked Qadr crosses a person, then he has six considerations:
The first- consideration is of Tawheed, and that Allaah is the One who destined it for him, willed it for him, created him. Whatever Allaah wants occurs and whatever Allaah does not want does not occur.
The second- consideration is of justice, and that it will occur with Allaah’s command. It is just in fulfilling Allaah’s justice.
The third- consideration is of mercy, and that Allah’s mercy in what has been destined is generally from Allaah’s Anger and recompense, His mercy is present but hidden and not apparent.
The fourth- the consideration of wisdom, that the Allaah’s Wisdom -Subhanahu- necessitated this destiny. Allaah did not destine this in vain or command it for no reason.
The fifth- consideration is of Praise, that all complete praise is for Allaah -Subhanahu- for this destined Qadr from whichever way you look at it.
The sixth- the consideration of servitude of worship, and that a person is purely a slave of Allaah from every point of view. The regulations of his Master apply to him and are carried out due to him being his master’s possession and His slave. So Allaah disposes him under His destined rulings just as Allaah disposes him under rulings of the Deen, therefore, the slave of Allaah has to conform and proceed with these rulings.

The most difficult thing to do nowadays: Concentration in the prayers without getting distracted by worldly things.
Indeed this has become difficult except for those whom Allaah تعالى has protected.
In the Hadeeth of `Uthmaan رضي الله عنه where he described the ablution of the Prophet ﷺ, he said that Allaah's Messenger ﷺ said: ❝If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two Rak`ahs (units) prayer DURING WHICH HE DOES NOT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE (i.e. without allowing his thoughts to be distracted by worldly things) then his past sins will be forgiven.❞

We find that the faces of the people of Bida’ and sinning, every time they grow older their ugliness and disfigurement gets worse so much for so that you cannot even look at them, those who were dazzled and deceived by the people of Bida’ and sinning when they were young due to the beauty of their forms.
This is apparent in everyone [from the people of Bida’] who glorifies his Bida’ and his evil, like the Rafidah, and the people of tyranny, oppression and evil deeds… Since indeed every time the Rafidi gets older his face gets uglier and his disfigurement gets worse to the extent his resemblance to a pig increases, and perhaps transforms into a pig and a monkey as it has been frequently mentioned about them…❞

Seek treatment or knowledge from the one who is grounded in that field.
The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said: ❝Whoever gives medical treatment, with no prior knowledge of medicine, is responsible☆ (if he kills or harms someone).❞
📚 [Sunan Abu Dawood, al-Nasaa’ee, and Ibn Maajah, and graded as “ Hasan li ghairihee ” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
☆ The one who is not a doctor but still prescribes some medication, and the patient dies because of it, then he will be responsible and will have to pay the blood-money. [The ruling on blood-money is mentioned in Surah al-Nisaa' (4): 92]
Al-Khattaabee commented on the above Hadeeth: ❝I do not know of any difference (amongst the scholars) on this.❞
By merely reading a few books one does not become a doctor, so then why do we expect someone to become a scholar or a person of knowledge by doing the same?!
Indeed harming someone in his Deen by causing confusion or creating doubts or speaking without knowledge is worse than killing someone, as Allaah تعالى says:
﴿وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ﴾
❝{…and Al-Fitnah (in the Deen) is worse than killing}❞

❝{...and Al-Fitnah is greater than killing}❞
📚 [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 217]
In the Qur'aan Allaah تعالى says that anyone who kills a person unjustly is like killing the whole of mankind. Then should we not take extra precaution in the matters of the Deen so that we, in our ignorance, misguide others?

[SHORT FAA’IDAH FROM THE AYAH REGARDING THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN PROPHET SULAYMAAN AND THE ANTS]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ
وَالْإِنْسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَىٰ وَادِ النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ

مَسَاكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ
سُلَيْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِنْ قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ
أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي
أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ

”And there were gathered before Sulaiman (Solomon) his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order (marching forwards). Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: “O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaiman (Solomon) and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not.” So he [Sulaiman (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech and said: “My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favours which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves.” [27: 17-19]
Faa’idah from Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah):
It is as if the ant excused the army for the harm they would have afflicted on its colony due to being unaware of their presence, and blamed its colony for not taking the precaution to enter their dwelling place. And due to this Sulaymaan smiled, for indeed it is something that should bring about amazement and make someone smile. [Ref 1]
Faa’idah from Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah):
The ant knew Sulaymaan’s affair and that of his army. It exalted Sulaymaan’s authority and excused them if they were to crush its colony because that would not have happened intentionally, nor out of awareness. Sulaymaan (alayhis-salaam) heard the ant’s speech and understood it, so he smiled due to being amazed with the ant’s eloquence, (good) advice and fine expression.
This is the affair of the Prophets (alayhis-salaatu was-salaam) – perfect manners (or etiquettes) and being amazed in its rightful place. They do not laugh, rather they smile just as Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) mostly used to smile; for indeed a loud burst of laughter is an indication of feeble mindedness and bad manners. On the other hand, the one who does not get amazed by what should amaze a person, then this is an indication of an ill-temper and haughtiness, and the Messengers of Allaah are free from that. [Ref 2]

Yahyā bin Mu’āth ar-Rāzī (رحمه الله) said:
“The scholars are more merciful to the nation of Muhammad (ﷺ) than their own fathers and mothers.”
It was said to him:
“How is that?”
He said:
“Because their fathers and mothers protect them from the fire of this world whereas the scholars protect them from the Fire of the Hereafter.”

In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Shaykh ʿAbd al-Salām ibn Burjiss(raḥimahullāh) mentioned: O students! If you really want knowledge [directly] from its source, then there are the senior scholars whose beards have become grey, bodies have become weak, and their strength has dried up in (seeking) knowledge and teaching. Stick to them before you lose them, and benefit from their treasures before it disappears with them, for indeed the full moon is missed on a dark night.

From The Evil Consequences of Silence In The Presence of the Falsifiers’ by Ibn Aqeel
http://salaficentre.com/2016/01/from-the-evil-consequences-of-silence-in-the-presence-of-the-falsifiers-by-ibn-aqeel/
He (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’If the truthful ones were to keep silent and the falsifiers speak, then the creation would have relinquished what they have witnessed (of truth) and reject what they have not witnessed. So when the devout ones desire to revive the Sunnah, the people would reject it and think that it is bidah.’’ ————————————————————————————– [Shifaa As-Sudoor Fee Ziyaaratil Mashaahid Wal-Quboor page: 148]
