Q: “Is it allowed to eat while standing?”
Shaikh al-Albaani:
“I say, there is no text about the prohibition of eating while standing like there occurs the text prohibiting drinking while standing. But there is a narration from Anas bin Maalik رضي الله عنه that when he narrated to those around him in a gathering that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited drinking while standing, someone said to him: ‘What about eating (while standing)?’ He replied: ‘It is worse.’
I say here, we should follow this Companion because we don’t have anything with which we can contradict him. But what is the distinction between eating while standing and eating while walking? Eating while walking is allowed, because there is text clearly stating that they used to eat while walking during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. As for eating while standing, there is no text regarding it from the Prophet ﷺ, neither negative nor positive. All we have is this authentic narration from Anas bin Maalik and this is what we act upon.
Moreover, maybe some of you noticed in these times that it has become a fashion for the disbelievers to eat while standing although chairs are present; but they don’t sit on them out of pride. So then, the previous ruling is further strengthened. I say, we are with the narration of Anas, because Anas knew what we don’t know, and because the disbelievers nowadays and the Muslims who imitate them eat while standing, so we differ from them.”

Ibn Al Jawzee (رحمه الله) mentions..
"Shaytaan convinced some that idols were the gods themselves. Others - with some intellect- rejected this idea, so he deceived them to think that worshiping these idols only gets them nearer to the Creator"
Allaah says
مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلاَّ لِيُقَرِّبُونَآ إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَى
"We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allaah in position." (39:3)
(Talbis Iblees, 5:7)

‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar said: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Each of you is a shepherd and each of you will be questioned [about those under his care]. The leader is a shepherd and will be questioned. A man is the shepherd of his family and will be questioned. A woman is the shepherd of her husband’s house and she will be questioned. A slave is the shepherd of his master’s wealth and will be questioned. Each of you is a shepherd and each of you will be questioned [about those under his care].” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4892; Muslim, 1829).

The Son of Mu'adh Bin Jabal and the Plague (Al-Qadr and Al- Sabr
Ibn Abi al-Dunyaa relates through Shihr bin Hawshab:
Abd al-Rahmaan bin Mu'adh bin Jabal (rahimahullaah) was afflicted with the plague. His father entered upon him and said, "How do I find you my dear son?" He replied (with the saying of Allaah), "The truth is from your Lord. So be not of those who doubt" (2:147). So Mu'adh said to him (responding with the saying of Allaah), "You will find me, if Allaah wills, from those who patiently persevere" (37:102).
Note: This indicates belief in al-qadr (divine decree) and what follows from it of sabr (patience).
In Mawsoo'ah Ibn Abi al-Dunyaa (5/341) through Hayat al-Salaf of Ahmad al-Tayyar.

Benefit: Ibn Taymiyyah on Loving a Woman Unrestrictedly
In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Ibn Taymiyyah: Anyone who attaches his heart to the creation for aid, provision or guidance will inevitably surrender his heart to it. He becomes enslaved to it (the creation) according to how much he is in need of it, even if—apparently—he seems to be the master and provider who is in charge of its affairs. The intelligent one looks at the reality of things, not its appearance.
If a man is (greatly) in love with a woman, even if she was permissible for him, his heart will remain in her captivity. She will be in charge of him and do with him as she pleases. Although he outwardly appears to be her master, because he is her husband, in reality, he is her captive and her possession, especially if she is aware of his unrestricted love and dire need for her, and that (he thinks) she is irreplaceable.
Indeed, the captivity of the heart is worse than the captivity of the body, as the enslavement of the heart is worse than the enslavement of the body.

Imām Ibn Qudāmah ‘al-Ḥanbalī رحمه الله تعالى said in his book, “Mukhtaṣar Minhāj ‘al-Qāṣidīn” (pg. 44):
*❝ Fasting has three stages:*
*❝ General fasting, special fasting, special of the special fasting. ❞*
فأما صوم العموم فهو: كف البطن والفرج عن قضاء الشهوة.
_❝ As for general fasting, it is: abstaining the stomach and private parts from carrying out desire. ❞_
وأما صوم الخصوص: فهو كف النظر، واللسان، واليد، والرجل، والسمع، والبصر، وسائر الجوارح عن الآثام.
_❝ As for special fasting: it is abstaining the eyes, the tongue, the hands, the feet, the hearing, the eyesight, and all other body parts/senses from sins. ❞_
وأما صوم خصوص الخصوص: فهو صوم القلب عن الهمم الدنيئة، والأفكار المبعدة عن الله تعالى، وكفه عما سوى الله تعالى بالكلية.
_❝ As for the special of the special form of fasting: it is the fasting of the heart from wickedness, isolated thoughts away from Allāh تعالى {thinking about other than Allāh}, and abstaining the heart from everything except Allāh تعالى in its totality. ❞_

“Showing mercy to others and forgiving them their mistakes is a cause for the forgiveness of one’s own sins. Moreover, the more one is capable of taking revenge for himself but doesn’t, the greater his reward. He ﷺ said, “Show mercy and you will be shown mercy; forgive and Allah will forgive you.”
رحمة الخلق وغفران زلاتهم سبب لغفران الذنوب وكلما كان الإنسان أقدر على الانتصار لنفسه كان أجره أعظم قال ﷺ(ارحموا ترحموا واغفروا يغفرالله لكم)
