Ibn al-Qayyim: Majority of Diseases Arise Out Of Improper Dietary Habits and Low Nutritional Value Foods
The great scholar Ibn al-Qayyim stated in (Zaad al-Ma'aad 4/16):
Illnesses are of two types. Material illnesses arise from an increase of matter that comes to a point of excess in the body where it harms its natural functions. And these are the majority of illnesses. They are caused by consuming more food before the food taken previously has been properly digested; by eating in excess of the amount needed by the body; by taking in food which is of little nutritional value, slow to digest; and by indulging in different foods which are complex in their composition. When a human being fills his belly with these foods and it becomes a habit, they will cause him various diseases, some of which come to an end slowly, some swiftly. When he is moderate in his eating and takes only so much of it as he needs, keeping a balance of quantity and quality, the body benefits more from this than it does from a large amount of food.
From this statement we learn that:
The majority of illnesses are related to improper dietary habits. More specifically:
Eating food on top of a prior meal not completely digested
Eating in excess, more and over what the body needs
Taking food that has little nutritional value, slow to digest
Having meals that comprise of greatly varied and complex foods, (can be referring to very rich foods)
When this becomes a continued habit, it will cause numerous types of diseases - which are in fact the majority of illnesses that people are inflicted with.
The best approach in diet is to eat a moderate amount according to need, and maintain a balance between the quantity and the quality of the food taken.
If this advice was to be heeded, it would remove a large amount of chronic disease suffered by people. The remedy is simple. Its all in your eating habits.

About the meaning of the hadith: “Any woman who takes off her clothes in a house other than that of one of her mothers…” | Shaykh Muhammad 'Ali Ferkous
Question:
What is meant by the hadith that says: “No woman takes off her garments in a house other than that of one of her mothers, but she tears the cover between her and Ar-Rahmân (the Most Merciful)”(1). Is putting off her Jilbâb (veil) when being among her Mahârim (2) in a hotel while travelling included in the meaning of this hadith? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Peace and blessing be upon whom Allah sent as a Mercy to the Worlds, upon his Family, his Companions and his Brothers until the Day of Resurrection:
What is meant by this hadith is when a woman shows her body or a part of it to strangers (men that are not Mahram) and she does not cover her body before them with the veil ordained by Allah – that is to say the veil of righteousness as Allah Azzawajal said:
[[ Ô children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness, that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember ]]
[Al-A‘râf: 26]
Her retribution will be a scandal, as she tears the veil between her and Allah, He will tear her veil, and tearing her veil means [here] a scandal(3), because she does not keep well what she was ordered to do by sustaining her veil before the strangers, so she was given her retribution because: “As you treat you will be treated”.
It is included in the prohibition: to put off her clothes in public bath, because usually, the woman does not cover her ‘Awra(4) before women. However, she is not concerned with the punishment if she puts off her Hijâb before her Mahârim or when she is among Muslim women by keeping her ‘Awra covered, i.e. just to reveal parts of adornment of her body as Allah says:
[[ and not expose their adornment (i.e. beauty) except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess (i.e. slaves), or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women ]]
[An-Nûr: 31].
The same thing when she travels with her husband or with one of her Mahârim, be it at the hotel or somewhere else, because the apparent meaning of the hadith is about showing her body to a stranger who gets from her what he wants even with a sight full of desire or with what comes just before the sexual intercourse.(5)
The perfect knowledge belongs to Allah Azzawajal; and our last prayer is all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers of Allah are to Muhammad and his Family, Companions and Brothers until the Day of Resurrection.

Jazaak Allahu What? -Explained By Moosa Richardson (Hafidhahullah)
There is a Jazaa' for the people who deserve punishment, their punishment is called a Jazaa'. And then there is a reward for the people who do good and this is a Jazaa'
And this is to let you know (and this is an added benefit) that it's NOT sufficient if you want to make du'a for someone in their favour to say "Jazaak Allah" it's an empty du'a. Allah is going to give a Jazaa' to everyone, so to make du'a that you get a Jazaa' is meaningless.
"Jazaak Allahu Khairan, Jazaak Allahu Ihsānan, Jazaak Allahu something-Firdawsan" and typically we hear "Jazaak Allah".
As the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said: "Whoever has had something done good to him, and he says to the one who did it to him "Jazaak Allahu Khairan", he has done excessively well in thanking him (for that good thing)

Shaikh Fawzaan: He should not feel safe for himself. Prophet Ibraahim said:
"...And keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols. "O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind..."
[Qur'aan 14: 35-36].
A person should not feel safe from trials and an evil end for himself even if he is the most righteous of people. On the other hand, he should not despair of Allaah's mercy even if he is the worst of people. Allaah may favour him with repentance such that he dies upon Islaam and enters Paradise because as long as he is living, he is exposed to this or that; and actions are considered according to the last ones.
(Sharh As-Sunnah (The Explanation of the Sunnah) By Imam al-Barbahaaree (d.329h). Explanation by the Noble Shaikh, Dr. Saalih al-Fawzaan (volume 1) page 443-444)
"The hearts of the slaves are in between two Fingers among the Fingers of the Most Merciful."
{Reported by Muslim in his Sahih (4/2045 no 2654) from 'Abdullaah bin 'Amr (Radi Allaahu anhu).}

📌It is reported that ‘Umar b. Al-Khattâb – Allah be pleased with him – said:
Do not be fooled by one who recites the Qurân. His recitation is but speech – but look to those who act according to it.

📌It is reported from Al-Fudayl (b. ‘Ayyâd) that he said:
The Qurân was sent down to be acted upon but people have taken just reciting it as enough of a deed. He was asked, “How is it acted upon?” He replied, “They should treat as halâl what it makes halâl and treat as harâm what it makes harâm, they should take on its commandments and stay away from what it forbids, and they should stop to ponder its amazing knowledge and wisdom.”
