⚠ Money is the idol of this ummah, and people worship it:

Ḥasan Al-Baṣri (Rahimahullāah): “For every Ummah is an idol which is worshipped and the idol of this Ummah is Deenār and Dirham (i.e wealth).”

‎ [الآداب الشريعة ٣/٢٩٧]

What is Bid'ah?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhāb al-Wassābī defined al-Bid’ah as:

❝Every belief, action, or statement newly invented after the death of the Prophet [ﷺ] with the intention of worship and getting closer to Allāh, and it is not indicated by any proof from the Book [i.e. the Qur’ān], and not from the Sunnah and not from the actions of the Salaf [i.e. the Sahābah].❞

[Sharh al-Jadīd ‘Alā al-Qawl al-Mufīd Fī Adillah at-Tawhīd, (Page: 348-389) | Translated By Abū Ruqayyah 'Abd us-Samad]

⚠ Instead of suppressing one's anger, people usually boasts about their anger and be like, "Don't mess with me." Listen up, Sister or Mister! Arrogance can block your entry into Jannah, no matter how pious or righteous you are. Be'ithnillaah.

Ibn Al-Jawzee (Rahimahullāah):
“The main reason for anger is usually arrogance."

— [Tibb Ar-Roohaanee, p. 51]

🚫 *A Great Danger* 🚫

Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān Hafiẓahullāh mentioned the story of a man who read Bukhārī on his own and he came across the Ḥadeeth:

الحبة السوداء شفاء من كل داء

'Blackseed has cure for every illness.'

However he read الحبة السوداء (blackseed) as الحية السوداء (black snake), thus he went, bought a black snake, slaughtered it, ate it and afterwards died from its poisoning, so had he asked the scholars he would've saved himself,

Hence merely studying without returning to Ahlul-'Ilm (for its understanding) is a great danger so look to how many pretenders of knowledge have killed themselves (due to self-amazement).

● [طرق تعلم العلم ص ١٠]

Once, Abu Salamah came back after he was with Allah’s Messenger and said: I heard Allah’s Messenger recite a statement that made me delighted. He said:(No Muslim is struck with an affliction and then says Istirja when the affliction strikes, and then says: O Allah! Reward me for my loss and give me what is better than it,’ but Allah will do just that.) Umm Salamah said: So I memorized these words. When Abu Salamah died I said Istirja and said: “O Allah! Compensate me for my loss and give me what is better than it.” I then thought about it and said, “Who is better than Abu Salamah” When my Iddah (the period of time before the widow or divorced woman can remarry) finished, Allah’s Messenger asked for permission to see me while I was dyeing a skin that I had. I washed my hands, gave him permission to enter and handed him a pillow, and he sat on it.

He then asked me for marriage and when he finished his speech, I said, “O Messenger of Allah! It is not because I do not want you, but I am very jealous and I fear that you might experience some wrong mannerism from me for which Allah would punish me. I am old and have children.” He said: (As for the jealousy that you mentioned, Allah the Exalted will remove it from you. As for your being old as you mentioned, I have suffered what you have suffered. And for your having children, they are my children too.) She said, “I have surrendered to Allah’s Messenger.” Allah’s Messenger married her and Umm Salamah said later, “Allah compensated me with who is better than Abu Salamah: Allah’s Messenger .’

Sins prevents you from performing Tahajjud

And it was said to al-Hasan [al-Basri],
“We have been made incapable of performing qiyaam al-lail.”
He replied, “Restrict your sins!”

Allaama Ibn al-Qayyim -Rahimahullaah- said:

” ما من مرض من أمراض القلوب والأبدان إلا وفي القرآن سبيل الدلالة على دوائه وسببه “

‘There is no illness from the illnesses of the hearts and bodies except that in the Qur’aan there is the path which shows its cure and the reasons for its illnesses.’

Al-Imām ibn Rajab al-Hanbali رحمه الله said:

“Whoever is mindful of Allāh when he is young and strong, Allāh will take care of him when he is old and has become weak, and will bless him with good hearing, eyesight, strength and reasoning. One of the scholars who lived beyond the age of a hundred years and enjoyed good strength and reasoning, jumped up in a lively manner one day and was asked about that. He said: “I kept these physical faculties from sin when I was young and Allāh has preserved them for me now that I am old.”

Plotting is to deceive people by showing that you’re sincere & truthful, whilst you’re the opposite of that. It is to harm a person in a hidden manner without him realising it. This is impermissible.

Is it permissible for a woman to wash and shroud a deceased person whilst she is on her menses?

Answer:
It is permissible for a menstruating woman to wash deceased women and shroud them. And from the men she can only wash her (dead) husband. Menstruation is not considered a prohibition from washing a dead person for burial. And to Allaah belongs all (bestowal of guidance and ability to perform good deeds).

🎙The Imam Ibn al-Qayyim -Rahimullaah - said :

💠'Whoever deviates from the evidences, then he has strayed away from the correct path. There is no evidence which leads to Allaah and Paradise other than the Book and the Sunnah.

💠Every path which is not accompanied with the evidences from the Qur'aan & the Sunnah then it is from the path of the Hell fire and the accursed Shaytaan.

On the authority of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree in a narration ascribed to the Prophet [sall Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam]

The most complete of the believers in their Eemaan are those who have the best manners, who are humble, who join hearts and their hearts are joined. There is no good in the one who does not join the hearts nor is his heart joined.

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Imaam al-Albānee, (No. 751) Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya; Miraath al-Anbiyya]

We may have hundreds of "friends" on social media. But the reality is that we do not even know the name of our next door neighbor.

The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝Jibreel kept recommending treating neighbors with kindness so much so that I thought that he would order (me) to make them (my) heirs.❞
📚 [Saheehain]

كانَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ إذا صلَّى علَى جِنازةٍ يقولُ:

اللهُـمِّ اغْفِـرْ لِحَيِّـنا وَمَيِّتِـنا وَشـاهِدِنا، وَغائِبِـنا، وَصَغيـرِنا وَكَبيـرِنا، وَذَكَـرِنا وَأُنْثـانا. اللهُـمِّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْـتَهُ مِنّا فَأَحْيِـهِ عَلى الإِسْلام، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّـيْتَهُ مِنّا فَتَوَفَّـهُ عَلى الإِيـمان، اللهُـمِّ لا تَحْـرِمْنـا أَجْـرَه، وَلا تُضِـلَّنا بَعْـدَه

صحيح الترمذي ١٢٢٦ | الشيخ الألباني رحمه الله | صحيح

When the Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ prayed the funeral prayer he would recite:

“O' Allāh forgive our living and our dead, those who are present and those who are absent, our young and our old, our menfolk and our womenfolk. O' Allāh, whomsoever amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islām, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon Faith. O’ Allāh, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray after him.”
