Precious Gem : Shaytan has three ways of tempting man – Imam Ibn al-Qayyim
A Precious Gem: The Satanic Ways of Tempting
Satan has three ways of tempting man:
One: Increase and extravagance; to have more than one needs. This addition is the way, which Satan uses to enter the heart. To protect oneself from that is to be careful not to fulfill all the needs of the soul like food, sleep, pleasure, or rest. Whenever you close this door, you would be safe from any enemy.
Two: Negligence; whoever remembers Allah is protected by the fortress of remembering Him. When he neglects that he will be opening the door of this fortress and the enemy will enter. It would then be difficult to drive him out.
Three: Caring for what is not his business in all matters of life.

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan
Question:What is the ruling of an individual who loves a scholar or a Da'ee and says: I love him very much, I do not want to listen to anyone refuting him and I take his word even if it goes against the evidence, because the shaykh has more knowledge of the evidence than us?
Answer:This is detestable and blameworthy partisanship and it is not allowed. We love the scholars-and all praise is to Allaah-and we love the Du'aat (callers) for the sake of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. However if one from amongst them makes an error in an issue, we make clear the truth in that issue with the evidence and this does not decrease our love for the one who is refuted nor does it decrease his status. Imaam Maalik-rahimahullaah- said: "There is no one from amongst us except that he will refute or be refuted, except the companion of this grave." Meaning the Messenger of Allaah SAllaahu Alihee Wasallam.
If we refute some of the people of knowledge and some of the people of virtue, this does not mean that we hate him or dispraise him, we only make clear what is correct and for this reason some of the scholars, when some of their colleagues made an error, said: "So and so is beloved to us, however the truth is more beloved to us than him. " And this is the correct way.
Do not understand from this that to refute some of the scholars in an issue where they have erred in, means lowering them or having hatred for them. Rather the scholars have not ceased refuting each other and at the same time being brothers and having mutual love. It is not allowed for us to take everything that an individual says unquestionably, whether he is correct or in error, because this is partisanship.
The one whose statement is taken absolutely and nothing from it is left, is the Messenger of Allaah Sallaahu Alaihi Wasallam. Because he is a Messenger from his Lord and does not speak from his desires. As for other than them (messengers), then sometimes they make errors and sometimes they are correct, even though they may be from the best of the people, they are Mujtahidoon that make mistakes at times and are correct at others. No one is infallible from falling into error except the Messenger of Allaah Sallaahu Alihee Wasallam. It is therefore Waajib that we know this and that we do not remain silent upon error, due to love of an individual. Rather it is upon us that we make the error clear. The Prophet Sallaahu ýAlihee Wasallam said: "The religion is sincere advice. We said: To whom. He said: To Allaah, His book, His messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and their general people."
So clarification of an error is advice for all, as for concealing it, then this goes against advice.

Just Learn your Religion and Do Not Burden yourself with Fiqh al-Waaqi’ (science of the current affairs) and Political agitations
"Until when will we say: 'Know, may Allaah have mercy upon you'?"
ash-Shaykh al-'Allaamah Muhammad Amaan bin 'Alee al-Jaamee states:
A student of knowledge asks how he should seek knowledge, how he should study the books he's studying and how he should stick to the scholars.
In short:
Sadly, the small students of knowledge in this time busy themselves with siyaasah (politics) while they don't know the meaning of siyaasah. It is often the case that students come to my house when I arrive here, in ar-Riyaad and in al-Kharj. I was expecting them to ask me questions related to knowledge, but instead they ask me about the agitations, the jamaa'aat (groups) and the ideologies. They busy themselves [with this].
Whoever wants to seek knowledge should turn himself completely away from the traces of [political] agitation and he should begin with memorizing the small books. He should begin with al-Usool ath-Thalaathah (the Three Fundamentals) and not pay any attention to the statement of the agitating troublemakers who say, "Until when will we say: 'Know, may Allaah have mercy upon you'? Until when?"
Until you die, you will say these words! And when you die you will be asked in your grave about that which you used to ridicule: "Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet?" You ridicule this in your life, while you will be asked in your grave about that which you used to ridicule. The first thing you will be asked about, is the meaning of al-Usool ath-Thalaathah.
Don't pay any attention to this harmful agitation! Memorize this small book which contains Tawheed, the rulings and the actualisation of the statement of Tawheed. Nawaaqid al-Islaam (the Nullifiers of Islaam) and al-Qawaa'id al-Arba' (the Four Principles): memorize these like the memorisation of al-Faatihah. Then go to the students of knowledge so that they can explain it to you and so that you understand it.
I am sure that a student of knowledge who understands al-Usool ath-Thalaathah; if he was sent as a daa'iyah (caller) to a non-Arabic country, he would become [like] ibn Taymiyyah there (in the eyes of the people). With al-Usool ath-Thalaathah! And this is something which has been noticed before. If you have memorized this text and understood it, and you stand there between the Africans and Asians explaining al-Usool ath-Thalaathah to them, then you will be [like] ibn Taymiyyah there. But, all praise is due to Allaah, their children there are memorizing it, but they need someone to explain it to them. Don't let them lead you to destruction! Don't let those, who don't [sincerely] advise, lead you to destruction!
Memorize these books: Kitaab at-Tawheed, al-Bayqooniyyah, al-Arba'een an-Nawawiyyah. These books! You busy yourselves here [with other things], while the children of the Muslims in India, Pakistan and Africa are memorizing these books. With these two ears of me I listened to African youth while they were memorizing al-Usool ath-Thalaathah, Kashf ash-Shubuhaat, Kitaab at-Tawheed and al-Arba'een an-Nawawiyyah. I stood there in the classroom listening to them while they were memorizing [these texts] like the memorisation of al-Faatihah.
This is because the [political] agitation has not reached that place; they are upon al-Fitrah (natural disposition). We ask Allaah to protect them from that which has affected many of the youth. So memorize these texts and then go to the Scholars and the students of knowledge (for the explanation). Then you can continue with more detailed and advanced [books]. Begin with the small affairs of knowledge, until you reach the big affairs of knowledge - if this expression is correct.
This is how the one who wants to seek knowledge progresses. And he should never listen to these agitations which take place around him! A person might say to himself, "Does this mean that you want us to live isolated from the world, and that we don't have any knowledge about Fiqh al-Waaqi' (science of

As for Fiqh al-Waaqi': listen to the radio and read the newspaper sometimes. Fiqh al-Waaqi' will reach you while you are walking in the street, while you are in the car or at home.

That is purer for your hearts and their hearts – Shaykh Salih Fawzan
“And when you ask them (i.e. Prophet’s wives) for something, then ask them from behind a veil (Hijaab).” [Surah Al-Ahzaab: 53]
Even though the ones intended by this verse were the wives of the Prophet, the verse is general. So the wording in the verse is specific for the Prophet’s wives, while its meaning is universal for all women since the Prophet’s wives are the role-models for the believing women. Allaah explains this thoroughly in His next statement, where He says:
ذَلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ
“That is purer for your hearts and their hearts.” [Surah Al-Ahzaab: 53]
Allaah ordered that the women be asked from behind a Hijaab. What is meant by the word Hijaab is: Anything that covers a woman whether a garment, a wall, a door or any other object that can be used to screen a woman from a man when he is talking to her or asking her about something or handing her something. All of these should be done from behind a Hijaab, i.e. from behind a screen or covering. So he should not make any contact with her while she is unscreened or lacking covering and exposed. Rather, she must be behind a screen that covers her, regardless if it is her garment, her door, a wall or so on. This is since this is “purer for your hearts and their hearts” from temptation. If women screen themselves by way of a Hijaab and the gaze of men does not fall upon them, the hearts of both the men and women will be saved from temptation and enticement. This is clearly visible in the Muslim societies that strictly adhere to the Hijaab.
A society that strictly adheres to the Hijaab is preserved from the corruption of morals. In fact, it is the lack of Hijaab that results in immorality and the temptation of men’s desires. Therefore Allaah’s saying: “That is purer for your hearts and their hearts” contains a basis that is universal for the whole ummah since the Hijaab consists of a purification of the hearts for both men and women in an equal manner. It blocks all the pathways that lead to the corruption of morals.

We Take Our Religion from the Companions
ʿAbbād b. Al-ʿAwwām narrates:
Sharīk b. ʿAbdillāh came to us around fifty years ago, and we said to him, “O Abū ʿAbdillāh, here amongst us there are people from the Muʿtazilah who reject these āḥādīth [like]: ‘Allāh descends to the lowest heaven’, and ‘the people of Jannah will see their Lord’. So Sharīk narrated to me around ten such narrations, then said: ‘As for us, we have taken our religion from the sons of the Tābiʿīn, from the Ṣaḥābah. Who have they taken from?’”
Al-Ḏahabī, Al-ʿUluw. Graded ṣaḥīḥ by Al-Albānī in Mukhtaṣar Al-ʿUluw article 146.

Narrated Abu Musa رضي الله عنه: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The example of a good pious companion and an evil one is that of a person carrying musk and another blowing a pair of bellows. The one who is carrying musk will either give you some perfume as a present, or you will buy some from him, or you will get a good smell from him, but the one who is blowing a pair of bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from him.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (2101, 5534) and Saheeh Muslim (4768)]

Sufyan Ath-Thawri, may Allah have mercy on him, said,
“Behave well in your private life and Allah will make your public life excellent.
Take care of what is between you and Allah, and he will take care of what is between you and the people.
Work for your Hereafter and Allah will suffice your affairs in this world.
Sell your worldly life for your Hereafter and you will profit in them both together, and do not sell your Hereafter for your worldly life or you will lose them both together.”

The Length of the Islamic Beard
Question:
I request your Eminence to make clear the ruling on shaving the beard, or removing anything from it, and what is the legislated area of the beard?
Answer:
Shaving the beard is forbidden, because it is disobedience to the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam), for the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Grow your beards and shorten your moustaches. [1]
And because it is a departure for the guidance of the Messengers to the guidance of the Zoroastrians and the polytheists. The legislated area of the beard is as defined by the scholars of the language, which is that it is the facial hair, the jaws and the cheeks, that is, the hair on the cheeks, jaws and chin - all of this is the beard.
And removing anything from it is an act of disobedience and also, because the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Grow your beards. [2] and: Leave your beards. [3] and: Let your beards... [4] and: Expand your beards... [5] - and this proves that it is not permitted to remove anything from it, however, acts of disobedience differ, so shaving is worse then removing part of it, because it is a greater and clearer violation than removing part of it.

Cursing:
وَيَدْعُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلْخَيْرِ ۖ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَجُولًا
And man invokes (Allah) for evil as he invokes (Allah) for good and man is ever hasty [i.e., if he is angry with somebody, he invokes (saying): "O Allah! Curse him, etc." and that one should not do, but one should be patient]. (17-Al-Isra : 11).
Cursing a Believer.
Question:
When a person curses another and the gates of heaven are closed because the one who was cursed does not deserve it, does the curse return to the person who uttered it? Is it permissible to curse a woman because she does not wear Hijab (veil)?
Answer:
A true believer whose faith is complete does not curse others. In Musnad and Al-Jame’, Imam Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi respectively related on the authority of ‘Alqamah from 'Abdullah ibn Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated:
“The believer is not a slanderer, or a curser, or one who indulges in obscenity, or engages in foul talk.” [Al-Tirmidhi classified it as a good Hadith Gharib (a Hadith with a single narrator usually at the beginning of the chain of narration)]
It was authentically established in the two Sahihs (authentic books) on the authority of Thabit ibn Al-Dahhak from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said:
“Cursing a believer is like killing him.”
Thus, it is impermissible for believers to curse any Muslim except one who is cursed by Allah in His Book, or by the Prophet (peace be upon him). One should not curse the sinner, such as the unveiled woman, because of her sin. Muslims should, rather advise and urge her kindly to observe Hijab. One who curses another who does not deserve the curse is strongly warned that the curse returns to him/her if it is unjustified. This is affirmed by the report narrated by Abu Al-Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“When a person curses somebody or something, the curse goes up to heaven and the gates of heaven get closed. Then it comes down to the earth and its gates get closed. Then it turns right and left, and if it does not find an entrance to go anywhere, it returns to the person or thing that was cursed; if he or it deserves to be cursed; otherwise it returns to the person who uttered it.” [Related by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad and Abu Dawud in his Sunan]
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!

"There are three reasons why the haqq is rejected.
Inability, neglect and evil intentions, i.e. false desire.
Inability is ignorance.
Neglect is not taking a proper interest in the search for the haqq.
Evil intention means not really wanting the haqq but instead the person has partisanship and false desire."
