It’s not allowed for anyone to lose hope in Allaah’s Mercy, even if his sins are very great.

Ibn Rajab said:
“All blessings are from Allaah and His virtue, so whoever ascribes any of these blessings to other than Allaah with the belief that it is not from Allaah is a real Mushrik!
And whoever ascribes these blessings to other than Allaah with the belief that they are from Allaah has committed hidden shirk.”

📌Beautiful Cursed Women‼️
On the authority of ʿAbdullāh Ibn Mas’ūd – Allāh be pleased with him, who said:
“May Allāh curse those women who tattoo or seek to be tattooed, those women who remove facial hair or seek it to be removed and those women who put gaps between their teeth for beautification; those who seek to change Allāh’s creation.”
This reached a woman from Banī Asad who was called Umm Ya’qūb and who used to read the Qur
And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatever he forbids you, shun it. [Al-Ḥashr (59):7]
The woman then said, “Well I have just seen some of this on your own wife.” He said, “Go and see her.” So she went to the wife of ʿAbdullāh but didn’t see anything. She returned to him and said, “I don’t see anything.” He said, “Well, if any of those practices had been done I would not be with her any more.”

👉Points to note:
The teachings of Allāh’s Messenger have the same legal weight as teachings in the Qur
It can even be said that a ruling given by Allāh’s Messenger is in the Qur`ān based on the verse quoted
•Tattooing, removal of facial hair – including the plucking of eyebrows – and making gaps between the teeth for beautification are strictly forbidden in Islām and are regarded as major sins.
•In another narration, hair extensions have also been mentioned
•Exceptions have been made by scholars in cases where a woman suffers a condition that causes her to grow a full beard, or where filing of teeth and widening spaces are needed for medical reasons.
•Being cursed (al-la’nah) means to be removed from Allāh’s mercy; this goes to prove that these practices are major sins
•People should ask Allāh to curse those whom Allāh’s Messenger has asked to be cursed
•Women can ask male scholars about matters of religion and can converse with them for the purpose of understanding knowledge and legal rulings.
•Wives who remain disobedient to Allāh should be divorced.
•A person who helps another to sin is regarded as a participant in that sin.
These points have been summarized from Ibn Ḥajr, Fatḥ Al-Bārī and Al-Nawawī, Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim.

While discussing the importance of reciting the Qur'an with tarteel (slow and measured recitation) in his manual of the Qur'anic sciences, al-Suyooti brings the following quote from imam al-Nawawi:
[وقراءة جزء بترتيل أفضل من قراءة جزئين في قدر ذلك الزمان بلا ترتيل]
"Reciting one juz' with tarteel is better than reciting two juz' in the same amount of time without tarteel."
[al-Itqaan fee 'Uloom al-Qur'an 1/343]

Imam al-Qurtubi mentioned the following narration in part of the introduction to his tafsir:
[وقال إياس بن معاوية : مثل الذين يقرءون القرآن وهم لا يعلمون تفسيره ، كمثل قوم جاءهم كتاب من ملكهم ليلا وليس عندهم مصباح ، فتداخلتهم روعة ولا يدرون ما في الكتاب ; ومثل الذي يعرف التفسير كمثل رجل جاءهم بمصباح فقرءوا ما في الكتاب . ]
Iyaas ibn Mu'aawiyah said: Those who recite the Qur'an without knowing its explanation are a like a people who receive a letter from their king during the night but do not have any lamp. Apprehension comes over them, for they do not know what the letter contains. But the person who knows the explanation is like a man who bring them a lamp so that they can read what is in the letter.

WHEN AN ISLAMIC SCHOLAR DIES WE SHOULD WEEP...
Abdullāh Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Al-‘Ās said: I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying:
“Allah does not take away the knowledge by taking it away from the hearts of the people, but He takes it away by the death of the Scholars till no Scholar remains. Then people will take as their leaders the ignoramuses who when asked will give their verdict (fatwa) without knowledge. So they will go astray themselves and will lead the people astray.”
(Reported by Al-Bukhārī, no. 100)
In a wording, he said, “There will remain the ignoramuses from whom verdicts (fatwas) will be sought. They will give verdicts based upon their own opinions, so they will go astray and will lead the people astray.”
