The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) stated, “If you have no shame then do as you please”
(al-Bukharee)
Shaikh al-Fawzan (حفظه الله تعالى) mentioned in his explanation of this hadith:
“Shame [modesty] is a great characteristic which prevents a person from degraded and lowly affairs that are not befitting of him, as well as evil mannerisms; hence the one who has shame refrains from that which is not befitting”.
[Explanation Of 40 Hadith p 181 | Translated By Abu Muadh Taqweem Aslam]

📝 Is Black a Must⁉️
Many women choose to wear black, not because it is obligatory, but because it is farthest removed from being an adornment.
There are reports which indicate that the women of the Sahaabah used to wear black. Abu Dawood narrated that Umm Salamah said:
“When the words ‘and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)’ [al-Noor 24:31 – interpretation of the meaning] were revealed, the women of the Ansaar went out looking as if there were crows on their heads because of their garments.”
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood (4101)
The Standing Committee (17/110) said: This is to be understood as meaning that those clothes were black in colour.

The Wisdom Behind the Similarity Between A Believer And A Tree
In this similitude, there are underlying (benefits), affairs of knowledge (related to speech, action etc.) and cognisance. (There are affairs in this similitude) that necessitate knowledge to be spoken about and its wisdom. And from that is:
Indeed, a tree has to have roots, a stem, branches, leaves and fruits; likewise, the tree of Imaan and Islaam conforms in its resemblance to what it is likened to. Its roots are knowledge, cognisance and certainty. Its stem is sincerity and its branches are the actions (of the believer). Its fruits are that which it necessitates of righteous actions pertaining to praiseworthy (deeds), commendable qualities, upright manners, (adherence) to a righteous path, guidance and a pleasant conduct. In the embedment of this tree (of Islaam and Imaan) in the heart and its firmness within it, are derived all these affairs.

🌴Take Care of Your Hereafter and Allaah will Take Care of your Life in this Dunyah
Abu Nu’aim reported: Sufyan Ath-Thawri, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Behave well in your private life and Allah will make your public life excellent. Take care of what is between you and Allah, and he will take care of what is between you and the people. Work for your Hereafter and Allah will suffice your affairs in this world. Sell your worldly life for your Hereafter and you will profit in them both together, and do not sell your Hereafter for your worldly life or you will lose them both together.”

There will be Fitan (trials and afflictions etc.) During which a sitting person will be better than standing one.
Narrated (Abû Huraira) Radi'yallahu anha,
Allâh's Messenger Sallaahu alayhi wa Salam Said:
" There will be Fitan (trials and afflictions etc)
(in the near future) during which a sitting person will be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than the walking one, and the walking one will be better than the running one, and whoever will expose himself to these Fitan (trials and afflictions etc.), they will destory him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it. "

Morals Of The Believing Men And Women
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Bāz [رحمه الله] said:
❝These are some of the morals and characteristics of the believing men and women. They help, protect, and support one another. They do not envy, cheat, betray, insult, or call each other by offensive nicknames. They do not slander or do anything that may hurt or cause feuds, enmity, and division; instead they love and advise and exhort one another to do good for the sake of Allah. They, therefore, enjoin the good and forbid the evil amongst them. Such is the behavior of the believing men and women.
With these manners societies prosper and affairs are straightened. In addition to this, the believers perform Salah [Prayer] as prescribed by Allah, in a state of tranquility, Khushu’ [the heart being attuned to the act of worship], and devotion; in its due times; and fulfilling its conditions, pillars, and obligations. They perform it as Allah has prescribed, each in its due time.❞
