The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is enough lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears.” Narrated by Muslim in al-Muqaddimah, 6; Saheeh al-Jaami, 4482.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is enough sin for a man to speak of everything that he hears.” Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 2025.

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.”

عن سفيان وقال بلغنا أن لقمان قال لابنه : يا بني إن الدنيا بحر عميق يغرق فيه ناس كثير فلتكن سفينتك فيها تقوى الله وحشوها الإيمان بالله وشراعها التوكل على الله لعلك تنجو
“O my son! The dunya is a deep ocean in which many have drowned! Let your ship be taqwallah (fear of Allah), and load your ship with imaan-bellah (believe in Allah), and let her sail be tawakkal on Allaah! Hopefully you will survive then”.

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.”
[Taken from “Four Essays On The Obligation Of Veiling”. Chapter: “Advice To Muslim Women” by Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan, p. 72]

The most hated speech to Allaah is when a man says to another man, ‘Fear Allaah!’ and he replies, ‘Worry about your own self!’ "
On the authority of ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood (radhiyallaahu ‘anhu), the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said:
“Verily the most beloved speech to Allaah is the servant’s saying, ‘Subhaanak Allaahumma wa bihamdika wa tabaarakasmuka wa ta’aalaa jad-duka wa laa ilaaha ghayruk.’ (Glorified are you, O Allaah, and to you is the praise, Blessed is Your Name and Lofty is your Majesty, there is none worthy of worship other than you.) The most hated speech to Allaah is when a man says to another man, ‘Fear Allaah!’ and he replies, ‘Worry about your own self!’ “
It was reported by Al-Asbahaanee in At-Targheeb (739), and Al-Albaanee authenticated it in Silsilatul-Ahaadeethis-Saheehah (2598).

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (1/183):
The report which says that when Ibraaheem was thrown into the fire Jibreel said to him, “Ask (of your Lord)” and he said, “His knowledge of my situation is sufficient asking” has no sound isnaad, and it is false. Rather what is proven in al-Saheeh from Ibn 'Abbaas is that he said, “Hasbi Allaah wa ni’m al-wakeel (Allaah is sufficient for me and He is the best dispoer of affairs).”
