Virtue of Salatul Duha (forenoon prayer)..
The time of Duha prayer is from the time (fifteen or twenty minutes after sunrise) when the sun has risen to a certain height, until just before the time for Zuhr prayer.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen defined it as being from a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen until ten minutes before Zuhr prayer.

An easy prize |
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ❝Fasting in the winter is the easy prize.❞ (❶)
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (رحمه الله) commented:
“And the meaning of it being an easy prize is that it is a prize obtained without any battle or effort or hardship. So, the owner of this prize has been given it as a favor without any effort on his part."
He also mentioned, “Winter is the best season for the believer because Allah strengthens his practice in it by making worship easy for him.
This is because in winter, the believer can fast during the day with ease without suffering from hunger and thirst. The days are short and cold, and he therefore doesn’t feel the hardship of fasting.
As for praying at night in the winter due to its long nights, one can have his share of sleep and then get up to pray afterwards and recite all that he usually recites of the Qur’an while he has had enough sleep.
So, he can combine between the sleep that he needs and the usual amount of recitation of the Qur’an that he completes in a day. So, he fulfills the interests of both his religion and the comfort of his body." (❷)

Ruling on Chain Messages – Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan
Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzan was asked about chain messages which are sent telling people to send peace and blessings upon the Prophet- May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him- and forwarding it to (for eg) 10 people so as to attain good deeds by way of it.
The Shaykh- may Allah preserve him- answered: This is an innovation, this is an innovation; the origin of sending peace and blessings upon the prophet is legistlated and is a good thing, however specifying with sending it to “x” amount of people is an innovation with no evidence supporting it.

THE REALITY OF THIS ‘PRECIOUS’ LIFE

The levels of the early Muslims with regards to Night Prayer.
========================
Imam Ibnul Jawzi said: You should know that the early Muslims were at one of seven levels with regards to night prayer:
Level one: These would stay up the entire night. Some of them would pray Fajr with the same wudu as Isha.
Level two: These would pray half of the night.
Level three: These would pray one-third of the night. The Prophet peace be upon him) said: " The most beloved salah to Allah The Exalted is the salah of Dawud. He would sleep half of the night, pray one-third, and sleep one-sixth". [Agreed upon]
Level four: These would pray one-sixth of the night or one-fifth.
Level five: These would not specify an amount of the night. He would only pray until he became sleepy, and would then sleep. When he woke up, he would pray.
Level six: These would pray two or four rakah.
Level seven: These would stay awake between the two Isha times [the early time for Isha and the later, recommended time], and they would sweeten their mornings [with dua]. This way, they would join the night and morning. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: " Indeed in every night is a time wherein if the worshipper asks Allah for something good, He will give it. And this is in every night."

“O Allah, make me from the few!"
"O Allah, make me from the few!”
Are You from the Majority or Minority?
When Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) was walking in the market, he passed by a man who was supplicating,
اللهم اجعلني من القليل اللهم اجعلني من القليل
“O Allah, make me from the few! O Allah make me from the few!”
So ‘Umar said to him, “Where did you get this du`a’ (supplication) from?” And the man said, “Allah in His Book says:
و قليل من عبادي الشكور
‘And few of My servants are grateful.’ (Qur’an 34:13)”
So ‘Umar wept and admonished himself, “The people are more knowledgeable than you, O Umar!
O Allah make us from Your ‘few’ servants.”
Sometimes when you advise someone to leave a sin, they respond with “But everybody does it, it’s not just me!”
But if you look for the words “most people” in the Qur’an, you will find that most people -
ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون
“And however most people do not know” (7:187)
ولكن أكثرهم لا يشكرون
- “and most people do not show gratitude” (2:243)
and
و لكن اكثر الناس لا يؤمنون
- “and most people do not believe” (11:17).
And if you look for “most of them”, you will find that most of them are
و آن أكثرهم فَاسِقُون
- “definitely disobedient” (5:59)
و لكن أكثرهم يجهلون
- “ ignorant” (6:111)
بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون الحق فهم معرضون
- “turning away” (21:24)
So be of the “few”, whom Allah says about them:
و قليل من عبادي الشكور
- “And few of My servants are grateful.” (34:13)
و ما امن معه الا قليل
- “But none had believed with him, except a few.” (11:40)
في جنات النعيم ثلة من الاولين و قليل من الآخرين
- “In the Gardens of Bliss, A [large] company of the former peoples, And a few of the later peoples.” (56:12-14)
Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said, “Go on the path of truth and do not feel lonely because there are few who take that path, and beware of the path of falsehood and do not be deceived by the vastness of the perishers.”

“The people of knowledge refute the people of falsehood—as for someone learning, and the student of knowledge, or the one feigning knowledge, it is not allowed for them to refute such issues, because maybe such a person will refute based upon ignorance and as a result his refutation will be more evil than the evil of the one being refuted, because when a refutation is not done with knowledge its [resulting] corruption becomes more than its benefit.” - Shaykh Sālih al-Fawzān [Al-Ijaabaat al-Muhimmah fil-Mashaakil al-Mulimmah, pp. 239-240]
One of the reasons why it is NOT a good idea for females posting their photos online is that low life people will download and print their pictures and take them to their pir sahab and babas to do their magic on them!
In this case, a sister had her picture printed and the pir magician did Shir on her photo to humiliate her and kill her.
On the photo it says on the forehead CANCER!
On the nose is the sign of shaytaan, so he can possess her!
On the cheeks it says Sickness and Death, so she dies from sickness.
On the paper behind her it says Vitiligo and Nakedness, so she gets white patches on her body and that she should loose her mind and strip naked should be naked in-front of everyone!
The lock with the strings around it is really nasty! This is usually for Bandish, in which the victim can not advance in anything in life.
Job, wealth, health, sanity, family home life and so on are locked and there will be no blessings or happiness in everything that is done! It is also used so that no one else can marry her and she will die a singleton!
In the side photos, you can see female sanitary napkins and more Magic written in the form of taweez and other memorabilia in the back ground.
So please SHARE and inform all sisters to avoid posting their photos online.
(What makes it worse is the fact that this poor woman, God knows where she is in the world, will suddenly start to feel sick and a sudden deterioration in everything around her! She wont have a clue at all about what just hit the fan!)
We get this type of cases a lot nowadays due to high usage of social media!

Shaykh Al-Albaani said in Silsilatul-Ahaadeeth As-Saheehah: “The Prophet’s statement: “The people of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless, beardless and with kohl on their eyes, aged thirty or thirty-three years” is classified by At-Tirmithi as Hasan, and it is Saheeh by virtue of its multiple routes of transmission and the other Ahaadeeth with the same meaning, and I clarified this in At-Ta'leeq Ar-Ragheeb (4/245), some of which are mentioned under number (2512).”
