The benefits of seclusion
Many of the pious predecessors would spend long periods of time in seclusion. When one of them was asked: “Do you not feel the bite of loneliness?” He replied: “How can I, when He has said that He is the companion of those who remember Him?”
[Aboo Nu’aym, 8/217]
One of the Salaf said:
“How can one feel the bite of loneliness when he is with Allaah?”
[Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa, Al-‘Uzlah #49]
One of the Salaf said:
“Whoever feels the bite of loneliness when alone does so because of his lack of solace with his Lord.” [Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa, Al-‘Uzlah #49]
Yahyaa Ibn Mu’aadh would frequently seclude and isolate himself. His brother censured him saying: “If you are a man amongst men, you need the company of men!” So he replied: “If you are a man amongst men, you are in need of Allaah!”

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "Sins are like chains and locks preventing their perpetrator from roaming the vast garden of tawhid and reaping the fruits of righteous actions."

Some reasons why some who know the truth still reject it:
Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
“A person might know that the truth is [found] with someone else; despite this, he outwardly denies that [truth] due to his envy for him, his wanting to be in a higher position above him, or [his having] desires in [his] soul.”

AbdAllāh ibn Mas'ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْه said:
“The people will not cease to be upon goodness as long as they take knowledge from their senior ones and from their trustworthy ones and from their scholars. So if they take it [i.e.knowledge] from their younger ones and their evil ones, they will be destroyed.”

BE CAREFUL @ your finances! "Interest free" or "0% Interest" does NOT mean halaal & free of ribaa. Interest is only one kind of ribaa (usury).
LATE FEES, for example, come with most "interest free" or "zero-percent interest" loans & financing plans. Late fees are clear ribaa. https://goo.gl/ByvgyW
LATE FEES are actually the most obvious & prevalent form of ribaa from the era of pre-Islamic Jaahiliyyah.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "What can my enemies do to me? I have in my breast both my heaven and my garden. If I travel they are with me, never leaving me. Imprisonment for me is a chance to be alone with my Lord. To be killed is martyrdom and to be exiled from my land is a spiritual journey."

Surahs the messenger would recite before sleep
Upon the authority of Irbaadh ibn Saariyah – Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu – that The prophet – Sallallahu alaihi wa Salam – did not used to sleep until he recited the’Musabihaat’ (A reference to the surahs that begin with ‘Sabbaha lillah..’ or ‘Yusabihu Lillah..’ or ‘Subhaan..’ or ‘Sabihi…’ and they are seven surahs: Suratul Israa, Suratul Hadeed, Suratul Hasr, Suratus Saff, Suratul Jumu’ah’, ‘Suratut Taghaabun, Suratul A’laa) and he used to say ‘In them is an Ayah that is better than a thousand verses!’
(Collected by At Tirmidhi (3406) and declared ‘Hasan’ By Shaikh Al Albaani – Rahimahullah)
Upon the authority of Naufal Al Ashja’i – Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu – who said that the prophet – Sallallahu ‘alahi was Salaam – said to Naufal: “Read ‘Qul Yaa Aiyuhal Kaafiroon’then sleep when you have completed it for indeed it is a safeguard and freedom from shirk.”
(Collected by Abu Daawood( 5055) and declared Saheeh by sheikh Al Albaani)
Upon the authority of Aisha – Radhiyallahu ‘anhaa – who said: “The prophet – Sallallahu alaihi wa Salam did not used to sleep until he recited: (Suratut) Az Zumar and (Surat)Bani Israa’eel (i.e Suratul Israa)."

Why People Invent Bid’ah
Mu’âdh b. Jabal – Allâh be pleased with him – used to say:
Ahead of you are times of trials (fitan) in which there will be much wealth and in which the Qur’ân will be opened and taken (read) by believers and hypocrites, men and women, young and old and freemen and slaves. At that time it is likely that there will be people who will say, “Why aren’t the people following me when I have read the Qur’ân? They will not follow me until I invent something else.” So, beware of everything that is innovated (in religion), for those things that are innovated are misguidance.

The clothing of a woman depicts her upbringing by her father, the sense of honour (ghayrah) of her brother, the manliness of her husband, her keenness to emulate her mother and above all, her conciousness of Allah watching her.
This is why they said to Maryam (RA):
_O sister of Haaroon, your father was not an evil man and your mother was not a loose woman._ (Quran )
They reminded her of her brother, father and mother. If these people are upright, she will also be upright.
A pious person said, "Revealing clothes on a woman is a sign that Allah is angry with her, as He removed the clothing of Adam and Hawwaa (as) when He was displeased with them."
A young girl says, "When I see a young female exposing and revealing herself, I look at her parents and think of the verse:
_Stop them, indeed they will be questioned_. This causes me to have even more modesty so that my mother should not be questioned."
Most of that which Allah made impermissible in this world will be allowed in Jannah, e.g. wine. One thing that is not allowed here and there is nakedness.
In fact, a great bounty [of Jannah] is to be properly covered. Describing Jannah, Allah says:
_You will not be hungry in it [Jannah] nor will you be unclothed_
One of the most beautiful messages I have read regarding modesty
