Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmee (rahimahullah) said:
In the hadeeth of Anas (radiaAllaahu anhu):
“If Allah wills good for His slave, He hastens his punishment in this world, and if He wills bad for His slave, He withholds from him (the punishment for) his sin, until He requites him for it on the Day of Resurrection.” [Tirmidhi, Authenticated by Al-Albaani]
This hadeeth informs [us] that a servant [of Allaah] is afflicted with adversities and continually [tested] with calamities, so he thinks this is [because] Allah dislikes him, whilst this is not the case; rather it maybe that Allah loves him and wants to test him with trials, so that he appears on the day of resurrection and [the trials he went through in the worldly life becomes a means of] reducing [his] sins.

Very SCARY and Important Hadith!!!
Narrated Zaid binWahb:
Hudhaifa saw a person who was not performing the bowing and prostrations perfectly. He said to him, "You have not prayed and if you should die you would die on a religion other than that of Muhammad."
[Bukhari, Book 12, Hadith 757]

Sulaymaan was once asked about the greatest deed, at which he wept and said:
“That He (Allaah) look at your heart and find it not desiring anything except Him of this world and the Hereafter.”

💢Help and Aid Comes With Seeking Forgiveness💢
اسْتَعَانَ بالِاسْتِغْفَارَ

📝Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
Shaykh ul-Islaam Ahmad bin AbdulHaleem Ibn Taymeeyah (d.728 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:
". . . Whoever hopes for something he strives and seeks it, and whoever fears something he flees from it. If a person strove and sought aid from Allaah Ta’ala and adhered to seeking forgiveness (Istighfaar) and striving, then Allaah will most surely give him from His excellence that which never even crossed his mind.
"If a person finds that his heart does not become happy and delighted, nor does it achieve the sweetness of Eemaan, nor the light of guidance then he should repent (Tawbah) a lot and seek forgiveness (Istighfaar) a lot, and he should adhere to striving as much has he can, since indeed
📜Allaah says:
وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ
《As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths (i.e. Allaah’s Religion – Islamic Monotheism). 》[Ankaboot: 69]
It is upon him to establish the obligatory duties outwardly and inwardly; and adhere to the straight path seeking aid with Allaah, absolving himself from strength or might expect with Allaah.

Ignorant Piety – Imâm Muhammad b. Sîrîn(rahimahullaah)
August 19, 2011
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulillah,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu,
It is reported that Imâm Muhammad b. Sîrîn – Allâh have mercy on him – said:
There were people who abandoned knowledge and sitting with the scholars, and [instead] took to their chambers and prayed until their skin dried [from exertion in worship]. Thereafter they began to contradict the Sunnah and thus were destroyed. By Allâh, never does a person act without knowledge, except that he spoils and corrupts more than he fixes and rectifies.

Words of Wisdom Ibn al-Qayyim
Ibn al-Qayyim, رحمه الله, says:
“For the tongue does not keep quiet at all. It is either a tongue that remembers or a tongue that is frivolous and it has to be one of these two.
It is the (nature of the) soul; if you do not preoccupy it with truth, it will occupy you with falsehood. It is the (nature of the) heart; if you do not accommodate it with love of Allaah, it will dwell with love of creation and this is a certain reality. It is the (nature of the) tongue; if you do not preoccupy it with remembrance, it will most definitely occupy you with frivolity.
Thus, choose for your own self one of the two courses and confer upon it one of the two standings.”

Dear beloved brothers and sisters in Islam
Ash-Shaykh Al-Mufassir Al-'Allāmah 'Abdur-Raḥmān As-Si'dī رحمه الله said:
And beware of feeling regret over past affairs which were not decreed for you, or loss of health, wealth, a job and the likes. Let your focus and concern be rectifying the actions of the day you are in; for indeed a person is the offspring of their day - they do not greive over the past, nor do they look distantly in to the future where it is of no benefit to them.
And be truthful, fulfill your oaths and promises and be just in all of your dealings. Give people their rights in full and in abundance. Do so, with a soul at peace and an īmān (faith) that is truthful and sincere.
And busy yourself with your own shortcomings and your own affairs above the shortcomings and affairs of others.
And deal with every individual person according to what is appropriate for their mental state; whether young or old, male or female, the ruling class or the ruled.
Be gentle and merciful with every individual - even the wild or domesticated animals. Verily Allāh is Merciful only to His Slaves who show mercy.
Strive constantly in all your endeavors and affairs. Keep your mind open to any and every benefit - whether religious or worldly. (end quote)

💸 *Giving Zakāh to one’s brother, or sister, or uncle, or aunt who are poor: Shaikh Ibn Bāz*
✍🏼Abu Khadeejah Abdul Wahid حفظه الله
Shaikh Abdul-‘Azīz Ibn Bāz (rahimahullāh) said:
🎙“There is no harm in a man or woman giving their Zakāh to a blood brother or sister who are poor, or to their uncle or aunt – or to any of their poor relatives due to the generality of evidences.
*Indeed giving Zakah to them is an act of charity and joining the ties of kinship* due to the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ):
_“Charity to the poor is one act of charity whereas charity to a relative is an act of charity and joining a tie of kinship.”_
▫This giving of Zakah however does not apply to one’s parents and grandparents and their ascending line,
▫nor to one’s children and grandchildren and their descending line.
☝🏼One cannot give their Zakah to this category of relatives even if they are poor.
*Rather it is obligatory for a person to provide for them from his wealth if he is able to do so, and there is no one else to spend upon them other than him.*

Women Being Careless in their Hijaab and Speech
Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan:
“It is upon the woman who fears Allaah and the hereafter to stay away from what many of the women are doing today such as being lackadaisical with the hijaab and easy-going with wearing decorative garments when going outside and being lax with using perfume when going out of the house and intermingling with men and joking with them.
Allaah , the Most High, said to His Prophet’s wives:
“Then do not be soft in speech, lest he in whose heart there is a disease (of fornication) should be moved with desire. But rather speak in an honorable manner.” [Ahzaab: 32]
If a woman has a need to speak to a man that is not one of her mahaarim, she may speak to him, but with a casual tone that has no softness or gentleness in it, and not in a joking or laughing manner.
Rather her speech must be ordinary and in accordance with what necessity dictates – i.e. a question and an answer – as per the need only.
She must not speak in a tone that appears friendly, laughing or teasing, or in a mellow or beautiful voice, thus stirring the desire of the one who has a disease in his heart. This is based on Allaah’s saying:
“But rather speak in an honorable manner.” [Ahzaab: 32]
So the Muslim women of today must fear Allaah with respect to themselves and their societies.”
