Dhikr is healing and medicine of the heart.
A man said to Hassan al Basri,
" O Abu Sa'eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart." He said, "Soften it with Dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the harder it becomes, but if a person remembers Allah, that hardness softens as copper melts in the fire. Nothing can softens the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allah, may He be Glorified and Exalted. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart. Forgetfulness is a disease, The cure for which is remembrance of Allah."

The Sunnah Of Cooling The Food
We often see Muslims eating food that is piping hot, whether in or outside Ramadan. Our cultures have conditioned us to believe that the food is best when it is hot and smoking, when in reality it is the opposite. I wanted to mention that the Sunnah is to cool the food because it has more barakah.
عن أسماء بنتِ أبِي بكرٍ أنها كانت إذا ثرَدَتْ غطَّتْه شيئًا حتى يذهب فورُه ودخانُه ثم تقول : إني سمعتُ رسولَ اللهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ يقول إنه أعظمُ لِلبركةِ
On the authority of Asmaa bint Abi Bakr radiallahu anha that when she made tharid, she would cover it until it is bubbling and smoke disappeared. Then she said:
"I heard the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa salam say: It is greater in blessings"
[Silsilatus-Saheeha (2/262)]
Also:
قال أبو هريرةَ : لا يُؤكلُ طعامٌ حتى يذهبَ بُخارُهُ
Abu Hurairah radiallahu anhu said: "Do not eat food until the steam disappears"
[Graded Saheeh by Al-Albani in al-Irwaa al-Ghalil no. 1978]
We even use the idiom "fresh out of the oven" in our society as a praise, when in reality it is something blameworthy and against the Sunnah.

“If he has good thoughts about Allaah, that he will be answered, then he will be answered bi’ithnillaah. But if he says ‘I don’t think I will be answered’ and the like, then he will be deprived of the answer – and refuge is sought in Allaah – because he did not have good thoughts of his Lord.”

▪️ *Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock* ▪
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: “INSTRUCT your CHILDREN to PRAY when they are SEVEN years old and SMACK them if they do not do it WHEN they are TEN, and separate them in their beds.” [Narrated by Abu Dawood, 495; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood]
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Whoever neglects to teach his son that which will benefit him, and ignores him, has done something very bad indeed. MOST children go astray because of their parents who neglect them and fail to teach them the duties and Sunnahs of their religion. They neglect them when they are young so they do not benefit themselves or benefit their parents when they grow up. End quote. [End quote from Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi, p. 229]
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) say: “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The ruler is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of his household and is responsible for his flock. A woman is the shepherd of her husband’s house” [Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 853; Muslim, 1829]
Pray that Allah help them (your children) and guide them; your SUPPLICATION will be an important means of their being guided, so do not neglect it and do not think little of it.

*The Categories of Patience*
There are three Categories of Patience
1. الصبر على طاعة الله
1. Patience upon the obedience of Allāh
2. الصبر عن محارم الله
2. Patience Upon ones transgression of Allāh
3. الصبر على أقدار الله
3. Patience Upon the decree of Allāh.
Shaykh Sālih Al Fawzān حفظه الله said:
"The First Category: Patience Upon the Obedience of Allāh:
The soul is inclined towards and wishes for loneliness and ease, so it is incumbent upon mankind to be patient upon the obedience (of Allāh), and upon Salāh, and upon fasting, and upon Jihād in the way of Allāh, and (even) if these affairs are disliked to an individual, he is patient upon it and confines himself to the obedience of Allāh.
The Second Category: Patience Upon Ones Transgression of Allāh:
The soul is inclined towards and wants that which is impermissible for it. It leans towards the desires and transgressive actions and wishes for them. So, it is incumbent that a person that he restrains and disconnects his soul from those transgressive acts. And this, requires patience. It is not an affair that is easy, to block oneself from falling into transgressive acts and those affairs which ones desires lead him to. Whomsoever does not possess patience, then indeed his soul will overcome/overwhelm him and will be more inclined to the transgression of Allāh.
The Third Category: Patience Upon the Decree of Allāh (That which is painful, sad or distressing)
Those afflictions that fall upon man from, the death of one who is close to them, or the loss of wealth, or sickness that ails man, then it is incumbent that a person is patient upon the decree and the will of Allāh. He does not fall into extreme grief, sadness and anxiety nor does he complain or become displeased or discontent. Rather he refrains/withholds his tongue from wailing, grumbling and complaining. And he refrains from despondency, withholding his limbs from slapping his cheeks (in extreme grief) and the ripping of his pockets (from anger and distress). So, this patience upon the decree of Allāh

The Permissible Lying – Shaykh al-Albaani

~
Umm Kulthum bint ‘Uqbah (radi Allaahu ‘anhaa) said: “the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) allowed lying in three (situations): during war, in reconciling between people, and the speech of a man to his wife. {In another narration:} the speech of a man to his wife and the speech of a woman to her husband.”
~*~*~*~
Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) comments:[1]
“I say, it is not part of the permissible lying that (the man) promises (his wife) something that he does not intend to fulfill for her, or he tells her that he bought such and such thing for her with such and such price – i.e., more than the real (price) – for the purpose of pleasing her, because that may be revealed to her; then it will be a reason for her to think badly of her husband, and that is part of corruption, not rectification.”

The Woman’s Voice Is a Source of Fitnah...
In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī (رحمه الله) said:
"It is necessary that the woman speaks only when it is required of her because her voice may be a source of fitnah for a man, and Allāh’s aid is sought. We do not say, ‘The woman’s voice is a part of her ‘awrah’; however, it is a source of fitnah."

Q: Is it true that angels do not attend women's learning circles, if the women do not wear Hijab (veil)?
A: I do not know of any basis for this. It is permissible for women to recite the Ever-Glorious Qur'an and make Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) even if they do not wear Hijab, provided that they are not in the presence of a non-Mahram (not a spouse or an unmarriageable relative) and this does not withhold the angels from attending their circles. May Allah grant us success.
