The great Sahābī Abdullāh Ibn Mas'ūd (rahimahullah), said:

“To bite on hot coal until it cools down is more beloved to me than to say about something which Allāh has decreed: “Had it only not happened!”

[Abū Dāwūd in Az-Zuhd, 128]

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said: If one says: Through what can sincerity in seeking knowledge be (attained)?

We say: Sincerity in seeking knowledge can be (attained) by making an intention for the following: Firstly: (The intention) to fulfil Allaah’s command because Allaah (The Most High) commanded it (i.e. to seek knowledge). Allaah said: [فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ- So know (O Muhammad) that La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and ask forgiveness for your sin’’ (Surah Muhammad Ayah19)].

So Allaah (Glorified and Exalted Be He) strongly urged (a person) towards acquiring knowledge. And strongly urging (someone) towards something necessitates having love for it; being pleased with it and commanding (one) to do it.

[Sharh Hilyah Taalib Al’Ilm’ page 16. Slightly paraphrased]

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"Many remedies are more effective if one has faith in them and takes them willingly and happily. People have seen wonders in that regard, because in that case human nature is highly receptive to medicine, and the soul feels joy in having it, which revives the patient’s strength and reinforces his natural defences, causing his body’s resources to come together to resist disease and ward off the harm. On the other hand, many medicines may be effective for a particular disease, but what nullifies their effect is if the patient does not believe in the remedy and his body does not accept it, so it does not help him at all."

Daily Hadith| Cursing, Foul Language & Immorality

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلاَ اللَّعَّانِ وَلاَ الْفَاحِشِ وَلاَ الْبَذِيءِ

Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The believer does not insult the honor of others, nor curse, nor commit Fahishah (immorality), nor is he foul.”

حضرت عبداللہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا طعن کرنے والا کسی پر لعنت بھیجنے والا، فحش گوئی کرنے والا اور بدتمیزی کرنے والا مومن نہیں ہے۔

A man was with the Prophet (ﷺ) when another man passed by and the former said: "O Messenger of Allah! I love this man (for Allah's sake)". Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked, "Have you informed him?" He said, "No". Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said, "Tell him (that you love him)". So he went up to the man and said to him, "I love you for the sake of Allah;" and the other replied, "May Allah, for Whose sake you love me, love you."

If you say "I'm upon Qur'ān/Sunnah" yet the last time you opened the Book of Allāh was days, weeks or months ago then how true is your claim?

Malik bin Dinar: "Indeed, the Qur'ān is the life of the heart, just as the rain is to the earth."

Sh. Ibn 'Uthaymīn: “If you see yourself increasing in Eemān whenever Qur'ān is recited then this is a sign of success.” •[رياض ١\٥٤٥]

Being negligent in prayer is the beginning of the decrease of provision:
"If a people have amongst them some who neglect the prayer and they do not forbid them from this negligence, the first punishment Allaah will subject them (the people as a whole) to will be the decreasing of their provision."

🔹The Ruling of Intermingling with Cousins--Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez ibn Baaz
▪️Question: I do not like to visit some of my relatives because their daughters frequently mix with the men, chatting with them and sitting with them, and I do not like these actions. They say that I am rigid. Am I sinful because I do not like to mix with the sons of my maternal aunt and the sons of my maternal uncle or the sons of my paternal uncle, or am I correct for not mixing with men in general and thus not rigid?
▫️Answer: Rather, you are correct, may Allaah bless you; and you have done well. This is because mixing with unrelated men contains great danger. And the sons of the paternal and maternal uncle and aunt are all considered to be unrelated non-Mahram men.
As for the mixing, the meaning of which is returning the Salaam to them in a gathering, or asking: How are you doing? How are your children? Whilst staying far away from doubtful affairs and impermissible speech, then there is no harm in this. So if she gives Salaam to the son of her paternal or maternal uncle in a manner that does not contain anything doubtful nor does it contain seclusion; rather, she gives Salaam to him in a gathering or they visit and give Salaam to her for the purpose of joining the ties of the womb, there is no harm in this. That which is impermissible is seclusion with men and engaging in doubtful affairs with the men by way of speech or action. As for mere Salaam and pure speech while staying far away from Fitnah there is no harm in giving Salaam to the son of her paternal uncle or the son of her maternal aunt; or in returning the Salaam, or asking about his family or children. There is no harm in this without seclusion.

🔥Warning against reciting the Qur'aan at "Supersonic" speed🚫

Narrated Uqbah Ibn Aamir that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

❝People will come forth from my Ummah who will drink (recite) the Qur’aan like (the way) they drink milk.❞

In another narration it is ❝water❞ instead of ❝milk❞

📚 [Tabaraanee in Mujam al-Kabeer (821) and by al-Faryaabee in Fadhaa’il al-Qur’aan (109) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah (1886) and Saheeh al-Jaami (3653)]

📑 Meaning: ❝They will glide through the Qur’aan with their tongues without contemplating over its meaning nor implementing its commandments. They will glide through it like how milk or water slides down the throat of its drinker.❞
📚 [Faidh al-Qadeer (4/118)]
