Sh. Muqbil Raḥimahullāh: “It is due to this Ummah being lax in enjoining good and forbidding evil that Allāh has empowered it’s enemy over them and has placed fear amongst them just like it can be witnessed (today), Innā Lillāhi Wa Innā Ilaihi Rāji'ūn.”

Faith is not just in the heart [definition of Iman]
Imâm Al-Awzâ’î – Allâh have mercy on him – said:
Faith (îmân) is not sound except with [correct] words. Faith and words are not sound except with [good] works. And faith, words and deeds are not sound except with [the correct] intentions in conformance to the Sunnah. Those who went before us of our Salaf did not separate faith from deeds: deeds are a part of faith, and faith is from [ones deeds]. îmân is a word that brings together these aspects of the religions [of Allâh] and is confirmed through [a person’s] works.
So whoever believes in word, knows in his heart and confirms [his belief] through his works, then this is the strongest handhold that will never break. And whoever says [words of faith] but does not know [faith] in his heart nor confirms it with his works, it will never be accepted of him and he will be in the hereafter from those who suffer in loss.
Ibn Ba tt ah, Al-Ibânah Al-Kubrâ article 1097.

Who speaks Wisdom?

"And if you obey him (the Messenger) you will be guided." [Sûrah Al-Nûr: 54]

Dayuuth - 'A Husband That Doesn't Have A Sense of Jelousy'
Husbands that doesn't have any jelousy (gheerah) when family members commit maksiah and doesn't even give advice.
Example:
1. A husband that doesn't feel jelous when his wife is wearing something tight and exposing her awrah, and her beauty is being enjoyed by all men.
2. A father allowing his daughter to have a boyfriend and letting him bring her to anywhere on dates.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “There are three at whom Allaah will not look at on the day of Resurrection
1) the one who disobeys his parents,
2) the woman who imitates men, and
3) the duyooth (a man who has no protective jealousy towards his womenfolk).”

-
There are those who attack some of the Mashayikh, like the Sheikh 'Abdullah Bin Jibrin rahimahu Allah, and they describe him with some denoscriptions that are not appropriate; so what is your guidance towards the likes of them? And what is your advice to those who have made the Jarh/criticism of the 'Ulamaa and Du'aat that which busies them?

They do not harm anyone except themselves, and they do not harm the Mashayikh; they do not harm anyone except themselves, and if we were to assume that some of the Mashayikh have some mistakes, then if he is alive we advise him, and if he is dead we seek Allah's Forgiveness for him (nastaghfir lahu), because he is your brother, we seek Allah's Forgiveness for him, and we ask Allah to grant him His Forgiveness and Reward and good deeds: Our Lord forgive us and our brothers who have preceded us in Iman.

FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHUL-HIJJA–BE EAGER TO BENEFIT FROM THEM BEFORE THEY ELAPSE
Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on October 12, 2012. Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Hajj, Dhul Hijjah, Eid al Adha, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Monotheism - Tawheed, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'
The virtues of the first ten days of Dhul Hijja
All praise is due to Allaah The Lord of the Aalameen and may the salaah and salaam be upon the leader of the Messengers. To proceed
Indeed from the favours of Allaah is that He made for His righteous servants fixed days/time periods in which they can increase in the performance of righteous actions. And amongst these fixed days/time periods are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja. Indeed, the virtues of these first days have been stated in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah
Allaah (The Most High) said
وَالفَجرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشرٍ
By the dawn; By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijja
[Soorah al-Fajr: Ayah: 1-2]
Imaam Ibn katheer (rahimahullaah) said that the intended meaning behind this verse is the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja as stated by Ibn Abbaas, Ibn Zubayr, Mujaahid and other than them. And this has also been reported by Imaam Bukhaari
Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said
“There are not any days in which righteous actions are done that are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days.” They said, “Oh Messenger of Allaah, not even jihad in Allaah’s cause?” He said, “Not even jihad in Allaah’s cause, except for a man who left out with his self and his wealth, and he did not return with either
Allaah (The Most High) said
وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَاتٍ [الحج: 82]
And mention the Name of Allah on appointed days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th day of Dhul-Hijja); Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: They are the (first) ten days. Tafseer Ibn katheer
Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) said
The Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: There are no days greater in the (sight) of Allaah nor in which righteous actions are more beloved to Him than these (first) ten days; so increase Tahleel (i.e. Laa-ilaaha-ilal-laah), Takbeer (i.e. Allaahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (i.e. Al-Hamdulil-laah) [reported by Ahmad
And Saeed Ibn Jubayr who narrated the aforementioned hadeeth of Ibn Abbaas used to strive earnestly when the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja starts…. reported by Daarimee
Ibn Hajr (rahimahullaah) said in Al-Fath: What is apparent is that the reason the first ten days of Dhul Hijja are distinguished (with excellence) is because of what it gathers of the main foundational acts of worship, and they are: Salaah, Fasting, Charity and Hajj, which are not found in other them)
What are the recommended acts of worship in these first ten days
Salaah: Give more emphasis and concern to the obligatory prayers and increase in optional prayers, because the prayer is amongst the greatest means of seeking nearness to Allaah
Fasting: fasting is included amongst the righteous deeds. Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) said about fasting the first days of Dhul-Hijja is strongly recommended
[3] The Takbeer, Tahleel and Tahmeed due to what has been reported in the Hadeeth of Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) that: ‘’Increase in Tahleel, Takbeer and Tahmeed in it (i.e. during these days). Imaam Al-Bukhaari (rahimahullaah) said: Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) used to go to the market place during the first days of Dhul-Hijja whilst uttering the Takbeer and the people also used to do so alongside them
?How is the Takbeer performed
.الله أكبر. الله أكبر. الله أكبر. لا إله إلا الله. والله أكبر. . الله أكبر ولله الحمد
Fasting on the day of Arafah: Fasting on the day of Arafah is emphasized because of what has been narrated from the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) that the one who fasts the day of Arafah, his (minor) sins of the previous year and the year to come are forgiven by Allaah [reported b

y Muslim]. However, as for the one who is physically present at Arafah, it is disliked that he should fast, because the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) stood at Arafah whilst he was not fasting
How should the Muslim approach these days of goodness
The Muslim should approach these first days of goodness with sincere repentance to Allaah, keeping away from sins and disobedience; because sins prevents a person from receiving the favours of His Lord and veils his heart from his Protector- Allaah
Likewise, a person should approach these days with all good deeds. He should strive to benefit from them by performing deeds that are pleasing to Allaah. Allaah (The Most High) said
وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُواْ فِينَا لَنَهدِيَنَّهُمّ سُبُلَنَا [العنكبوت:69]
As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths (i.e. Allah’s Religion – Islamic Monotheism). And verily, Allah is with the Muhsinun (good doers).” Soorah Al-Ankaboot: Ayah: 69]
O brothers and sisters in Islaam! Let us be eager to take benefit from the ten days of Dhul Hijja before they elapse and we become regretful. We ask Allaah to benefit us and yourselves in these days of goodness; and we ask Him (The Most High) to aid us to obey Him and perform acts of worship for His sake

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ❝He will have no reward.❞ The people thought it terrible, and they said to the man: Go back to the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, for you might not have made him understand well.

Abu Al-Malih narrated that a man said:
"I was riding behind the Prophet (sallahu alayhi wa salim) and his mount stumbled.
I said: "May the Shaytan perish!"
The Prophet (sallahu alayhi wa salim) said:
"Do not say May the Shaytan perish," because when you say that he swells up so much that he becomes like a house and says,
" By my power."
Rather say say: (بسم الله) Bismillah
(In the name of Allah),
"for if you say that the Shaytan shrinks until he becomes like a fly."

"for if you say that the Shaytan shrinks until he becomes like a fly."
[Ref: Collected by Abu Dawud (4982 ) and Ahmed (5/59) graded Sahih by Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Abbadd (may Allah preserve him )]
