"O my son, when you have written down ten Ahadeeth, look and see if you notice an improvement in the way you walk, in your level of patience, and in your degree of self-dignity. For if you do not see any such improvement, then know that your knowledge harms you and does not benefit you."

"The pain of separation (from someone you love) is greater than death sometimes…"

[Majmoo’ al-Fatawa (v. 35, p. 299)]

If u have missed fasts from Ramadan then u should fast with intention of making up missed fast:

What is the ruling on someone who has days to make up for Ramadan and wants to fast voluntarily or
to fast the day of Ashura (10th and 11th of Muhrram) with the intention of making up for the fasts he missed in Ramadan? Is it permissible for a person who owes days from Ramadan to fast on Ashura? Is it permissible for a person who owes days from Ramadan to fast on `Ashura and one day after or before with the intention of making up missed days?

A: They should NOT observe voluntary fasts when they still owe one or more days from Ramadan. They should start with the fasts they missed in Ramadan, and then observe voluntary fasts.

Second: If they fast the tenth and eleventh of Muharram with the INTENTION of making up days they missed of Ramadan, it is permissible and will make up for two of the days that they MISSED. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Actions are judged but by intentions, and every person will have but that which he intended.

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Consider Every Sin a Destroyer...

Ibn al-Qayyim ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ said:

“Do not belittle a small sin for the biggest of fires can be caused by the smallest of sparks.”

[Al-Fawā’id, v.3 p.227]

Abûd-Dardâ (radhiya Allâhu ´anh) said:

”The one who advises his brother in SECRET has BEAUTIFIED him and the one who advises his brother OPENLY has UGLIFIED him.”

(al-Amr bil-Ma´rûf wan-Nahî ´an-il-Munkar, p. 39, by Imâm Abu Bakr al-Khallâl)

The noble Shaykh Ibn Bāz [رحمه الله] said:

“There is no doubt that Islaam came to give honour to the woman,
- guard her,
- protect her from the wolves of mankind,
- secure her rights and raise her status.”

[Source: The Shaykh’s fatāwā 4/308]

WHEN YOU ARE IN THE WORST OF GENERATIONS

Imaam Sufyaan bn Uyaynah (rahimahul Laah) said:

" When you live at a time when people are pleased with words more than actions; and with knowledge more than acting (with the knowledge), know you then that you are in the worst of generations and amidst the worst set of people. "

- Ibtaal al Hiyal of Ibn Battah, 1/24.

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymîyyah رحمه الله said:
“Music is forbidden according to all of the four Imaams.” [al-Minhaj 3/442]

Sheikh Uthaymeen [رحمه الله]:
"If you see your brother debating and disputing when the truth is clear and he does not want to follow it, you should flee from him in the same way as you flee from a lion. Tell him that you have nothing more than that to say to him, and let him be."
[Sharh Hilyah Talib-ul-‘Ilm, Page 28]

Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“Singing [and music] is worse and more harmful than stories of emperors, because it directs [one] to adultery and fornication and it is the fountainhead of hypocrisy. It is the snare of the Shaytaan, and it intoxicates the intellect, Its obstructing (people) from the Qur’aan is worse than any way in which other types of phony speech blocks them, because the souls of people lean towards [sounds like this] and have the desire to listen to it.” [Ighaathatul-Lahfaan’,1/258-259]

Ibn Rajaab Rahimahullah said:
"People started singing about alcohol & other sinful activities thefore the sahaba took a firm stance against music." [Fat-h, Volume: 6, Page: 77]

Ibn Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه said:
"Music breeds hypocrisy in the heart just as water causes vegetation." [Igātha al-Lahfān 1/225-268]

Imām ash-Shafi'ī [رحمه الله] said: "Whosoever listens to music, then he is an idiot (سفيه) whose testimony is to be rejected."
[الأم للشافعي (٦\٢٠٩)]

Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal [رحمه الله] was asked about ghinaa’ (singing/music). So, he said:
"Music causes hypocrisy to sprout/grow in the heart"
[Al-Mughni of Ibn Qudaamah, (12/42)]

What is A Clean & Pure Heart? .

Abduulah b. Mas'ud
(radiAllahu anhu) said:
"Everyone speaks of good things. It is whose words and deeds match that have acquired thier share. Those whose words and deeds do not match have only reproached themselves."
[Az-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa'iq, vol.1,pg.153]

Yet some rush to expose them. Smh

‘Abdullāh Ibn Muhammad Ibn Manaazil saod:
"The Believer seeks excuses for his brothers, and the hypocrite seeks the mistakes for his brothers."
[Ash-Shu’ab, 7/11197]

Ibn al-Qayyim [D.752AH] [رحمه الله] stated:

❝Health is one of the most precious favours Allaah has bestowed upon His servants, the most generous of gifts, the most plentiful of His bounties. Rather, even more, [good] health is the most precious of favours without exception, so it is fitting that whoever is granted a portion of this fortune that he cherishes it, preserves it and guards it against harm…❞

[Zaad al-Ma`aad, (4/196) | Translated By Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid]

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan [حفظه الله] says, nowadays so many people claim to be callers to Islam, but if you look at their Methodology and conducts, you find them in complete opposition to Islam. [Sharh as-Sunnah, (Page: 460)]

Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān said:
“The common people follow any caller without knowing where they are heading to.”
[شرح السنة ٢\٣٨]

Sh al-Fawzan [حفظه الله] said:
"The most dangerous affair facing this Ummah in the present-time, are the ignorant callers who do not possess knowledge, yet call people (to this religion) with ignorance and misguidance."
[I'aanatul-Mustafeed, (1/887)]

From the authentic hadeeth of Huthayfah foretelling the people of deviation and their tribulations to be faced by people in later times (meaning): “There will be callers at the gates of Hell, and they will cast anyone who responds to them into it…”
[It was collected by Al-Bukhaaree (No.7084) and Muslim (No.1847)]

It reached Ibraaheem Al-Harbee (rahimahullaah) that a people who sit with him considered him more virtuous than Imaam Ahmad Bin Hanbal (rahimahullaah); so he said to them: “You have wronged me by considering me more virtuous than a man whom I am neither similar to nor have I reached (his status) in any affair. I swear by Allaah, you will never hear anything of knowledge (from me), so do not come to me after today.”

[Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 13/364]

Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: “Something will come and take the Qur’aan one night and not one aayah will be left, either in the Mus-haf or in the heart of any person, but it will be taken away.” (Narrated by al-Daarimi with a saheeh isnaad, no. 3209)

(GOLDEN ADVICE)
Ibn Abbas reported:

I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah, (Salallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) when he said to me,

“O young man, I will teach you some words. Be mindful of Allah and he will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find him before you. If you ask, ask from Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the nations gathered together to benefit you, they will not benefit you unless Allah has decreed it for you. And if the nations gathered together to harm you, they will not harm you unless Allah has decreed it for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”

[at-Tirmidhi, 2516]

Ibn al-Qayyim:

“How can he be considered sane, he who sells Jannah and all it contains, for one lustful hour?”

[al-Fawaaid p. 458]

The less knowledge a person possesses; the more able devil will be to deceive him. And vise versa.

Ibn al-Jawzi, The Devil's Deceptions (Talbis Iblis), page 508, Dar as-Sunnah Publishers

Al-Daarimi narrated with a different saheeh isnaad (no. 3207) that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: “Recite the Qur’aan much before it is taken away.” They said, “These Mus-hafs will be taken away! What about that which is (memorized) in men’s hearts?” He said: “Something will come and take it one night, and in the morning they will wake up without it. They will forget the phrase ‘laa ilaaha ill-Allaah’ and they will start to recite the sayings and poetry of the Jaahiliyyah. That is when the Word will be fulfilled against them.”

The phrase ‘That is when the Word will be fulfilled against them’ is a reference to the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

“And when the Word (of torment) is fulfilled against them, We shall bring out from the earth a beast for them, to speak to them because mankind believed not with certainty in Our Ayaat (Verses of the Qur’aan and Prophet Muhammad)” [al-Naml 27:82].

Ibn Katheer said in his tafseer of this aayah:

This beast will emerge at the end of time when mankind becomes so corrupt that they neglect the commandments of Allaah and change the true religion. Allaah will bring forth for them a beast from the earth – it was said from Makkah, or from elsewhere – and it will speak to the people concerning that. Ibn ‘Abbaas, al-Hasan and al-Qutaadah said – and it was also narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib – (may Allaah be pleased with them all): it will speak to them, i.e., it will address them. ‘Ataa’ al-Khurasaani said – and it was narrated from ‘Ali and this was the view favourd by Ibn Jareer: it will speak to them and it will say to them, ‘mankind believed not with certainty in Our Ayaat’. There are some reservations about this interpretation, and Allaah knows best.

According to one report, Ibn ‘Abbaas said: the words tukallimuhum (to speak to them) means, it will wound them; according to another report he said: it will do both (i.e., speak to them and wound them). [The word Tukallim may mean either speak or wound. – Translator]. This is a good point with no contradictions, and Allaah knows best.

(Tafseer al-Qur’aan al-‘Azeem, 3/375-378)

Ibn Rajab, رحمه الله said:

"Waiting for relief (from hardship) is worship, for verily the trials don't last forever."
