Fasting Humiliates and Weakens the Shaytaan:
Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimahullah) said:
"Fasting humiliates and weakens the Shaytaan; it weakens the effects of his whispers (waswaas) on a person and reduces his sins. That is because the Shaytaan "flows through the son of Adam like blood", as the Prophet ﷺ said; but fasting narrows the passages through which the Shaytaan flows, so his influence grows less."
[Majmu' al-Fatawa, 25/246]

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The believer who recites the Qur'an is like a citron whose fragrance is sweet and whose taste is delicious. A believer who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date-fruit which has no fragrance but has a sweet taste. The hypocrite who recites the Qur'an is like basil whose fragrance is so sweet, but its taste is bitter. The hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an is like a colocynth which has no fragrance and its taste is bitter."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim] [Sunnah.com reference: Book 9, Hadith 5]
Allâh Rabbulâlameen declared: “Say, ‘If mankind and jinn came together to produce the like of this Quran, they could never produce the like of it, even if they backed up one another.’ We have displayed for mankind in this Quran every kind of similitude, but most people insist on denying the truth.”
[Quran, al-Isra’ (The Night Journey) 17:88-89]

Ibn al-Qayyim said:
Every Muslim should be warned of the oppression of:
‘I – My/Mine – I Possess’
Indeed these three words are what Iblees (Shaytan), Fir’awn and Qaroon were tried with.
Iblees said: ‘I am better than him’
Fir’awn said: ‘Is not mine the Kingdom of Egypt,’
Qaroon said: ‘This has been given to me only because of knowledge I possess.’
So regarding the saying of the Slave of Allaah ‘I’ – then the best that he can be described with is:
I am a slave who sins, makes mistakes, seeks forgiveness and recognizes this.
So regarding the saying of ‘My/Mine’ – and those statements similar to that is:
My sins, my crimes, my humbleness, my deprivation and submissiveness.
So regarding the saying of ‘I Possess’:
Forgive me for my mistakes and what I do intentionally, in jest, or in seriousness and I possess all these shortcomings.

🔴 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.

Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan حفظه الله تعالى, when asked if a woman can unveil her face because of the difference of opinion on this matter, replied:
“No one uses the difference of opinion amongst the scholars as a justification except for the people of desires who love to follow their whims. As for the one who fears Allah, he does not use the differences of opinion as an excuse.
Differences of opinions exist amongst the scholars. In fact, there is almost no issue from among the issues of fiqh, except that there can be found a difference of opinion amongst the scholars in it. This is why Allah has commanded us to refer back to the Book and the Sunnah.
“And if you differ in anything, then refer it back to Allah and the Messenger if you truly believe in Allah and the last day.” [4:59]
So differences of opinion exist. However, it is not permissible for us to (only) accept the opinion that confirms to our desires and aspirations, whilst rejecting the one that is supported by the evidences just because it contradicts our desires. This is not permissible.
So what is required is to take the opinion that is in conformity with the evidence from the Book and the Sunnah with regard to the Hijab as well as everything else.”
The shaykh then went on to confirm the obligation of a woman veiling her face.

The evidence of segregation between the men and the women of the Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم at the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم even when leaving the Masaajid (the best places on the Earth):
Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) said that after Allah’s Messenger (May peace and blessings be upon him) said "as-Salamu ‘Alaykum wa Rahmatullah’ twice announcing the end of prayer, women would stand up and leave. He would stay for a while before leaving. Ibn Shihab said that he thought that the staying of the Prophet (May peace and blessings be upon him) was in order for the women to be able to leave before the men who wanted to depart." Narrated by al-Bukhari under No. 793.
Abu Dawood under No. 876 narrates the same hadith in Kitab al-Salaat under the noscript "Insiraaf an-Nisaa’ Qabl al-Rijaal min al-Salaah" (Departure of Women before Men after the Prayer). Ibn ‘Umar said that Allah’s Messenger (May peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We should leave this door (of the mosque) for women." Naafi’ said: "Ibn ‘Umar never again entered through that door until he died." Narrated by Abu Dawood under No. 484 in "Kitab as-Salah" under the Chapter ennoscriptd: "at-Tashdid fi Thalik".
Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet (May peace and blessings be upon him) said: ""The best of the men’s rows is the first and the worst is the last, and the best of the women’s rows is the last and the worst in the first." Narrated by Muslim under No. 664.
Abu Usayd al-Ansari narrated that he heard Allah’s Messenger (May peace and blessings be upon him) say to the women on his way out of the mosque when he saw men and women mixing together on their way home: ‘Give way (i.e., walk to the sides) as it is not appropriate for you to walk in the middle the road.’ Thereafter, women would walk so close to the wall that their dresses would get caught on it. Narrated by Abu Dawood in "Kitab al-Adab min Sunanihi, Chapter: Mashyu an-Nisa Ma’ ar-Rijal fi at-Tariq.
