*HOW SHOULD ONE TREAT IF ONE'S CHILDREN OR FAMILY MEMBERS LIE?*
If one of the children or family members of a person lies, he should treat this issue as did the Prophet Muhammed (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) treated.
If he (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) came to know that one of his family members had lied, he would keep away from him until he repented.
(al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, no. 2052; Saheeh al-Jaami, no. 4675)

Ibn Taimiyyah: The Effects of Piety and Sin on Beauty
Shaykh ul-Islaam Ahmad bin AbdulHaleem Ibn Taymeeyah (d.728 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said: Every time a person increases in doing good acts and Taqwaa 1then his goodness and beauty strengthens.
Every time his sinning and enmity strengths then his ugliness2 and disfigurement increases . . . . So we see the faces of the people of the Sunnah and obedience3, that, as they grow older, their beauty and radiance increases so much so that you find one of them in his senior age better and more beautiful than when he was younger.
We find that the faces of the people of Bida’ and sinning, every time they grow older their ugliness and disfigurement gets worse so much for so that you cannot even look at them, those who were dazzled and deceived by the people of Bida’ and sinning when they were young due to the beauty of their forms.
This is apparent in everyone [from the people of Bida’] who glorifies his Bida’ and his evil, like the Rafidah, and the people of tyranny, oppression and evil deeds. . . Since indeed every time the Rafidi gets older his face gets uglier and his disfigurement gets worse to the extent his resemblance to a pig increases, and perhaps transforms into a pig and a monkey as it has been frequently mentioned about them….’

A Makhmoom Heart
عن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عنه قال : قيل يا رسول الله، أي الناس أفضل ؟ قال : كل مخموم القلب صدوق اللسان ، قيل صدوق اللسان نعرفه ، فما مخموم القلب ؟ قال : هو التقي النقي ، لا إثم فيه ولا بغي ، ولا غل ولا حسد.
From ‘Abdullāh b. 'Amr Raḍi-Allāhu 'Anhu who narrated:
The Prophet ﷺ was asked: O Messenger of Allāh who are the best of people?, he answered: “Everyone who has a Makhmoom heart and a truthful tongue”,
They asked: We know what a truthful tongue is but what is a Makhmoom heart?, he ﷺ said: “It is a pious, pure (heart) which has no sin in it, neither it’s oppressive nor it contains grudge and jealousy.”

🔗🔗 *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.

Question:
This questioner asks on the ruling of putting personal pictures as a member on websites especially on Facebook and Twitter?
Shaykh ´Ubayd bin ´Abdillâh al-Jâbirî:
I say that the pictures of souls are haram and it is from the kabaa’ir (the major sins).
🔎The Messenger, [salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam], said: “The people who will be most severely punished on the Day of Judgement will be the image-makers.”🔎
And he, [salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam], also stated that the image maker will be presented with an image and it will say ‘Blow a spirit therein, which he will not be able to do
And from this we know that it is not permissible to publish pictures (images) of people in Twitter or other networks. When the agency responsible (for the networks) request a picture for a specific matter such as licences (for traffic) and security (passports etc) and other authority bodies that employs a person, then it becomes necessary or in need of. And it cannot exceed further than this.

Types of Envy by Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahuLlah)
The First Type: This type is very little and does not lead the (envier) to harm (others)-either by way of (hatred in) his heart, (speech of the) tongue or (deeds of the) hand; rather the person has some envy in his heart but he only deals with his Muslim brother through what Allaah loves.
The Second Type: The envier desires that the blessing (bestowed on the one he envies) should cease. He hates that Allaah should give blessings to His slaves; rather he (desires) that the envied person should remain in that state (of deprivation)…
The Third Type is Al-Ghibtahl: It is when a person wishes to be like another person without desiring that the blessing possessed by that person should cease. The person who has this type of envy is not blamed; rather this is very similar to praiseworthy competition to excel another in good deeds.

🎈Prophetic Morning Adhkar🎈
✒Ibn al-Qayyim said, "The morning and evening adhkar play the role of a shield; the thicker it is the more its owner will not be affected. Rather, its strength can reach to such an extent that the arrow shot at it will bounce back to affect the one who shot it."
✒ibn 'Uthaymin said, "The morning and evening adhkar are a stronger fortress than the wall of Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj, for the one who says it while his heart is present.
✒Ibn Salah said, "Whoever maintains the morning and evening adhkar, the adhkar after the prayers, and the adhkar before sleeping will be written among those "who remember Allah much.""
✒Ibn Kathir said, "Wear the 'coat' of adhkar so it can protect you from the evils of humans and jinn. And cover your souls with istighfar so it can erase the sins of the night and day."

Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction.}❞

Ibn Qayyim makes takfeer on grave worshippers, there is no excuse for ignorance for them - when we ask them for hujjah; ‘if a Mushrik can be Muslim,’ they cannot provide it Narrated from Anas (RA) that a man said:
“O Messenger of Allah, where is my father?” He said: “In Hell.” When he turned away he called him back and said: “My father and your father are in Hell.” [Sahih Muslim (Vol. 1, pg. 191) No. 203]
how can you refute this hadith? - the prophets father didn’t hear the message of Islam and died worshipping false deities. - so a MUSHRIK cannot be a MUSLIM, shirk negates Islam. He also says regarding some of the tasawwuf groups which fall into Shirk: “Some of them said: We are taking repentance from people.
I said: What are you taking repentance from? They said: Knock over, thievery etc. I said: Their state before you take their repentance is better than their state after you took their repentance. Without doubt they are Fasiq who believe that the state they are in is Haraam. They ask forgiveness of Allah, they repent to Him or they incline to. But with taking repentance from them, you made them deviated Mushrik and individuals who went out of the fold of Islam.” [Fatawa, (11/472)] -
