Honouring and Dishonouring Oneself
It is reported that Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
It used to be said, “People have never honoured themselves with anything [better] than the obedience of Allāh, and they have never dishonoured themselves with anything [worse] than disobedience to Allāh.”

The difference between aqeedah and minhaj
*Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan (hafidhahullaah) was asked the following question pertaining to aqidah (creed) and manhaj (methodology):
هل هناك فرق بين العقيدة والمنهج؟
Is there a difference between aqidah and manhaj?
The Shaykh replied:
المنهج أعم من العقيدة ، المنهج يكون في العقيدة وفي السلوك والأخلاق والمعاملات وفي كل حياة المسلم، كل الخطة التي يسير عليها المسلم تسمى المنهج. أما العقيدة فيراد بها أصل الأيمان ، ومعنى الشهادتين ومقتضاهما هذه هي العقيدة
Manhaj is broader than aqidah, manhaj (methodology) occurs in aqidah, and in sulook (behaviour) and in akhlaaq (manners) and in mu’aamalaat (dealings), and in all the life of a Muslim. As for aqidah, then the foundation of eemaan (faith) is intended by it, and the meaning of the two testimonials and whatever is required by them both, this is aqidah.

So is there a binding link between the aqidah and manhaj of the Salaf in the practical implementation of the Salafi manhaj?“
The Shaikh replied in powerful and revealing words: “That which I believe and worship Allaah with is that there are both generalities (in similarity) and specific (aspects) between the Salafi manhaj and aqidah (those who truly follow the aqeedah and manhaj of The Salaf).

*Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta’ was asked:
Q 1: There is a current debate about the difference between
Aqidah (creed) and Manhaj (methodology) and people have started to say that so-and-so adopts the Aqidah of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jamaah (those adhering to the Sunnah and the Muslim main body) or the Salafiyyah (those following the way of the righteous predecessors) although their Manhaj is not that of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jamaah. Similar words are said about some of the followers of Tabligh Group (a group calling to Islam), the Muslim Brotherhood, and some other groups. What differentiates between the Manhaj of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jamaah and that of Salafiyyah? Is it correct to differentiate between Aqidah and Manhaj?Answer: There is no difference between
Aqidah and Manhaj. Both terms refer to what a person believes in their hearts, confesses with their tongues, and acts accordingly with their bodily members. They encompass believing in the Oneness of Allah’s Lordship, Worship, His Names and Attributes, worshipping Him Alone, abiding by His Shariah (Islamic law) in words and deeds, and following the Qur’an and the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) as adopted by the Salaf (righteous predecessors) and Imams (initiators of Schools of Jurisprudence). Accordingly, there is no difference between `Aqidah and Manhaj; they refer to the same thing which all Muslims must observe and hold fast to.Source: Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta’: The first and fourth questions of Fatwa no. 18870 (Part No. 2; Page No. 41)

lers to turn their attention to what the society complains about and similar matters. So we say that what has come in the Book and the Sunnah and what the Salaf us-Salih were upon with respect to objectives, goals and ways and means are sufficient for the Ummah. However, the reason which leads some of the people to permit themselves to adopt these ways and means, in fact it is correct for me to say that they permit themselves to blindly-follow the disbelievers in the ways that they have adopted in order to actualise what they call either democracy or social justice and other such words which have no reality to them. So they, I mean these Muslims, permit themselves to blindly follow the disbelievers in these ways and means.
We say, our Lord, the Mighty and Majestic has made removed us from having any need, by our Shari’ah, of this separation which has been explained (i.e. between aqidah and manhaj) and that we should be needy of the disbelievers and that we should take from their ways and means, which might be good for them, (but) only because they have no Shari’ah by which they guide themselves. It is for this reason that we say that manhaj is more vast than aqidah and tawhid, hence it is necessary to adhere to what the Salaf us-Salih were upon with respect to both these affairs; the one that is vast (manhaj) first and foremost and the one that is more narrow (tawhid), meaning aqidah.”

IMPORTANCE OF SAYING IN SHA ALLAAH
Narrated Abu Huraira: (The Prophet) Solomon son of (the Prophet) David said, "Tonight I will go round (i.e. have sexual relations with) one hundred women (my wives) everyone of whom will deliver a male child who will fight in Allah's Cause." On that, an Angel said to him, "Say: 'If Allah will.' "But Solomon did not say it and forgot to say it. Then he had sexual relations with them but none of them delivered any child except one who delivered a half person. The Prophet said, "If Solomon had said: 'If Allah will,' Allah would have fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have made him more hopeful."

Should One Correct His Intention First Before Seeking Islāmic Knowledge?
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar Bāzmūl
[We] say: It is binding upon the student of [Islāmic] knowledge to be ever looking out to correct [his] intention and make it sincere for Allāh the All-High.
And someone may say: “Does this mean that I do not seek [Islāmic] knowledge until I correct my intention?!”
I say: No, seek [Islāmic] knowledge and during your seeking, keep checking on yourself and work on fixing yourself in this issue of having correct intentions.
Then if he were to say: “I want to leave seeking knowledge until I correct my intention.”
I say: This is a satanic ploy. He has opened up a door for you from the doors to goodness while he wants to turn you away from that which is better and more deserving [of your efforts]; because of that, continue seeking knowledge and work on fixing yourself, since your knowledge will certainly show you the right way, if Allāh wills, to making the intention sincere for Allāh the All-High.
And the Salaf used to say:
We used to seek knowledge for other than Allāh; then [knowledge] refused that [it] be for other than Allāh.

*Utilise your Time in Beneficial Matters & keep away from Qeela wa Qaal –*
Shaykh Uthaymeen(rahimahullah):
I advise you all to safeguard your time and to occupy yourselves in that which is beneficial. You should know that time is more precious than wealth, as Allaah – the Most Blessed, the Most High – said:
_“Until when death comes to him, he says: O my Lord! Give me respite so that I may then do righteous actions.”_ [Soorah al-Baqarah 2:333].
Time is such that when it departs it does not return, whereas wealth, when it departs, then it is possible to replace it. So time is of the utmost importance.
This is why I advise you to safeguard your time, and to occupy yourselves in that which benefits. Keep away from qeela wa qaal (gossiping) – that so and so said such and such about this and that person – because the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said in an authentic narration:
_“Indeed Allaah hates qeela wa qaal (gossip mongering), asking too many questions, and wasting one’s wealth.”_ [4]
Unfortunately, many of the youths – after returning to the correct path, and uniting their hearts and unifying their word – have become disunited and fragmented into many factions, and this is due to the whisperings of Shaytaan amongst them and the disuniting of their word.
So I advise the brothers to utilise your time in beneficial matters, and to keep away from qeela wa qaal. Indeed, time is like a sword; either you strike it, or it will strike you!

The Sunnah Of Cooling The Food
We often see Muslims eating food that is piping hot, whether in or outside Ramadan. Our cultures have conditioned us to believe that the food is best when it is hot and smoking, when in reality it is the opposite. I wanted to mention that the Sunnah is to cool the food because it has more barakah.
عن أسماء بنتِ أبِي بكرٍ أنها كانت إذا ثرَدَتْ غطَّتْه شيئًا حتى يذهب فورُه ودخانُه ثم تقول : إني سمعتُ رسولَ اللهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ يقول إنه أعظمُ لِلبركةِ
On the authority of Asmaa bint Abi Bakr radiallahu anha that when she made tharid, she would cover it until it is bubbling and smoke disappeared. Then she said:
"I heard the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa salam say: It is greater in blessings"
[Silsilatus-Saheeha (2/262)]
Also:
قال أبو هريرةَ : لا يُؤكلُ طعامٌ حتى يذهبَ بُخارُهُ
Abu Hurairah radiallahu anhu said: "Do not eat food until the steam disappears"
[Graded Saheeh by Al-Albani in al-Irwaa al-Ghalil no. 1978]
We even use the idiom "fresh out of the oven" in our society as a praise, when in reality it is something blameworthy and against the Sunnah.

❝You do not expect innovators to put out flowers in front of you, don't worry about what they say, tread this path, the path of knowledge for the Prophet ﷺ was not free from being insulted.❞

🤔 Ibn al-Qayyim said: “Jihaad is of four stages:
1- jihaad al-nafs (striving against the self),
2- jihaad al-shayaateen (striving against the shayaateen or devils),
3- jihaad al-kuffaar (striving against the disbelievers) and
4- jihaad al-munaafiqeen (striving against the hypocrites).
👉Jihaad al-nafs means striving to make oneself learn true guidance, and to follow it after coming to know it, calling others to it, and bearing with patience the difficulties of calling others to Allaah.
👉 Jihaad al-Shaytaan means striving against him and warding off the doubts and desires that he throws at a person, and the doubts that undermine faith, and striving against the corrupt desires that he tries to inspire in a person.
👉 Jihaad against the kuffaar and munaafiqeen is done in the heart and on the tongue, with one’s wealth and oneself. Jihaad against the kuffaar mostly takes the form of physical action, and jihaad against the munaafiqeen mostly takes the form of words… The most perfect of people are those who have completed all the stages of jihaad. People vary in their status before Allaah according to their status in jihaad.”(Zaad al-Ma’aad 3/9-12)

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ـ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ ـ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لَتَتْبَعُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ شِبْرًا شِبْرًا وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ، حَتَّى لَوْ دَخَلُوا جُحْرَ ضَبٍّ تَبِعْتُمُوهُمْ ". قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى قَالَ " فَمَنْ ".

For those having difficulty shedding tears, changing their way of life! This is a silent warning and reminder for us all!
Narrated Abu Huraira:
When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen," Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or said similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Bani `Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment."

Is the Muslimah permitted to wear other than a black covering?
Shaykh al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah) said: “And know that it is NOT considered as an adornment if the cover of a woman is of other colours, and not white or black. This is something that is unclear to some of the Muslim women who are sticking to and practicing the religion. [They think that wearing a cover of other colours is not permissible.] And to prove this, there are two main points:
Firstly: His statement (salAllaahu alaiyhi wa sallaam): “The perfume of the women is the one which has a light scent and a strong revealing colour, while that of men is that which has a light colour and a strong scent.” [ Aboo Dawood and it is a saheeh hadeeh]
Secondly: (We look to) The actions of the female companions regarding this issue. And on this I will bring some established narrations on this issue. And these are those narrated by al-Haafidh ibn Abee Shaybah in his book al-Musannaf:
» From Ibraaheem (al-Nakhaa’ee): That he together with ‘Alqamah and al-Aswad used to enter upon the wives of the Prophet (salAllaahu alaiyhi wasallam), and they used to see them dressed in red outer coverings.”
» Ibn Abee Mulaykah who said, “I saw Umm Salamah (radiAllaahu anha) dressed in clothing, and a covering dyed with saffron (this is either yellow or red in colour).”
» Al-Qaasim ibn Muhammad ibn Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq: “That ‘Aa’ishah (radiAllaahu anha) used to wear yellow clothing and she was in a state of Ihraam.”‘
