Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) was asked: ''Is [entry into] Paradise and Hellfire dependent upon the correctness of oneýs Manhaj (methodology)?''
His (may Allah preserve him) reply is as follows:
''Yes. When a personýs manhaj (methodology) is correct he will be in Paradise. So if he is upon the manhaj (religious methodology) of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and the manhaj (religious methodology) of the Salaf us-Saalih (the early Muslim's), he will become one of the inhabitants of Paradise by Allaahýs permission.
And when he travels upon the manhaj (irreligious methodology) of the misguided strayers (methodology of the people of desires i.e., Sufi's Shi'a, Khawariji/Takfiri's, atheists etc), he is threatened with the Hellfire.'' End quote
(Source: Al-Ajwibah al-Mufidah p.77)
Imaam al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
''Some of the youth differentiate between the aqidah of the Salaf and the manhaj of the Salaf so you see some of them upon the aqidah of the Salaf yet they allow themselves to work with some of the methodologies that exist today, even though there maybe what opposes the manhaj of the Salaf within them in terms of practice.
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.
Aqidah is more specific than manhaj as all of you know. Aqidah has a link with what is called in the view of many of the Jurists the "knowledge of tawhid" (i.e., knowledge of Islamic Monotheism concerned with the Oneness of Allah), and this is the chief and fundamental aspect of Islaam.
However, manhaj (religious methodology) is more vast than aqidah (creed/belife) or tawhid (the Oneness and Uniqueness of Allah).
As for those who claim that the differentiation that has come in this question (between aqidah and manhaj), then they desire by this to make it permissible for themselves to adopt ways and means in their dawýah (i.e, the invitation to the divine way of life that Islaam promotes) to Islaam which the Salaf us-Salih were not upon.
To say this in a different way, they consider that they have the liberty to adopt whatever ways and means they think will help them to convey (and actualise) Islaam, and you are aware of the examples of this type or these types of means.
For example, open demonstrations and rallies in order to force the rulers to turn their attention to what the society complains about and similar matters. So we say that what has come in the Book [of Allah] 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 [non-Islamic] 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 Shariýah (Islam's Divine code of life), 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 [i.e., the misguided Muslim's], (but) only because they [i.e., the misguided Muslim's] have no Shariýah by which they guide themselves (i.e., the misguided Muslim do not have Islam's Divine code of life running through their lives).

The Excellence of Observing Saum (Fasting) in the months of Muharram and Sha’ban and the Sacred Months (Rajab, Dhul-Qa’dah, and Dhul-Hijjah)
1246. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “The best month for observing Saum (fasting) next after Ramadan is the month of Allah, the Muharram; and the best Salat (prayer) next after the prescribed Salat is Salat at night (Tahajjud prayers).”
[Muslim].
1247.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
1248. Reported Mujibah Al-Bahiliyah on the authority of her father or uncle that he visited the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) once and then went to see him again after a year. His appearance had totally changed. He asked the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) if he had recognized him. The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) asked, “Who are you?” He replied: “I am Al-Bahili who visited you last year.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “You were quite handsome, what has changed your appearance so much?” He replied, “Since my departure from here, I have not eaten anything except at night.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) remarked, “You have put yourself to torture. Observe Saum (fasting) during the Month of Patience (i.e., Ramadan) and fast one day from each month.” He submitted, “Permit me to observe more voluntary fasts because I have capacity to do so.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Then observe fasts for two days in every month.” He said, “Permit me to observe more.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Observe fasts on three days in every month.” He requested that he should be allowed to observe more fasts. The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Fast three days during the sacred months and omit fasting for three days alternately.” He (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) joined his three fingers together and left them apart while repeating this sentence thrice.

Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) did not observe voluntary Saum (fasting) so frequently during any other month as he did during Shaban. He observed Saum throughout the month of Shaban.
Another narration is: He (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) observed Saum during the whole month of Shaban except a few days.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

A Protection from Harm - A Forgotten Sunnah:
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said;
“Whenever you intend to leave your house you should pray two rak’ah right before you leave. These rak’ah will protect you from harm while outside. And when you come back home you should pray another two rak’ah. They will safeguard you from harm in your house.”
Shaykh Al-Albaanee [rahimahullāh] said in his Silsilah Saheehah 3/315:
“This isnad of this hadeeth is acceptable and the narrators are trustworthy men used by Bukhari.”
This hadeeth is mentioned in Al- Muntaqah (12/69/1), Al-Bazaar in his Musnad(81), Ad-Daylamee in his Musnad (1/1/108), and Abdul-Ghani in Akbar-As-Salaah(1/67 and 2/68).

The Meaning of al-Ihsaan (Being Good to Someone) | ash-Shaykh al-Allaamah Abdul Azeez bin Abdullaah bin Baaz
The Question:
What is the meaning of having al-Ihsaan (being good to someone) mentioned in the hadeeth?
The Answer:
al-Ihsaan to daughters and similar to them is to raise them with the upbringing of Islaam, to educate them and bring them up on the truth so they are steadfast in their modesty and keep themselves far away from what Allaah has made Haraam such as displaying themselves and other things.
Similar is the upbringing of sisters, sons and other forms of al-Ihsaan where they are all raised on obedience to Allaah and His Messenger, on refraining from what Allaah has made Haraam and being upright on the truth of Allaah –Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.
With this, it should be known that the intent of al-Ihsaan is not merely feeding, giving drink and clothing them, rather the intent of al-Ihsaan to them is broader, including actions of the Deen and the Duniya.

Why Did ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb Select the Month of Muḥarram to Start the Islamic Calendar
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (حفظه الله) said:
As for the beginning of the year [starting the Islamic calendar with al-Muḥarram], then it is an affair that was adopted in the era of ʿUmar [ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, the second rightly guided Khalīfah] (رضي الله عنه) because of the letters that would come to him from his workers.1
Letters would come to him, and he would not know when they were written and when they were sent. Therefore, he (رضي الله عنه) set the calendar to make it begin from the month of al-Muḥarram, since it was the month in which the Ḥajj pilgrims would set out to return to their countries.
[Furthermore,] the most beloved month to Allāh after Ramaḍān is Allāh’s month, al-Muḥarram; therefore, the calendar began from Muḥarram.
Another reason was that even though the Hijrah occurred during the year, ʿUmar wanted to start the calendar from the beginning of Muḥarram because it was a sacred month 2 and because the Ḥajj pilgrims would set out upon the backs of camels during Muḥarram [to return to their countries].
[1] Due to the problems that arose, ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb gathered the Companions to consult with them on the issue of the Islamic calendar and to decide which of the months should be its first. They decided to start the calendar from the month of Muḥarram, as the shaykh clarified.
[2] Muḥarram is one of the four sacred months. The other three are: Dhū al-Qaʿdah, Dhū al-Ḥijjah and Rajab.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: the three consecutive months of Dhū al-Qaʿdah, Dhū al-Ḥijjah and Muḥarram, and Rajab Muḍar, which comes between Jumādá and Shaʿbān." Reported by al-Bukhārī.

From The Merits of The Month of Muḥarram Is That Allah Attributed/Ascribed It To Himself
Ibn Rajab (رحمه الله) said: “And verily the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) has called Muḥarram the moth of Allāh. And the attribution/anoscription of it to Allāh indicates its honour and merit since Allāh only attributes/ascribes to Himself that which is distinct/exclusive from His creation as he attributed/ascribed Muḥammad, Ibrāhīm, Isḥāq, Ya’qūb and other than them from the prophets to His servitude/worship (i.e. He called Muḥammad ”His Slave" [Sūrah an-Najm:10] and the aforementioned “Our Slaves” [Sūrah Ṣād:45]) and He attributed/ascribed to Himself His house (i.e. the Ka’bah by saying: “My House” [Sūrah al-Baqarah:125]) and His she-camel (by saying: “She-camel of Allāh” [Sūrah al-A’rāf:73]).

Dua to ward off the deception of the Obstinate Shaytans.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Protecting Himself from the Shayaateen.
Ja’far bin Sulaymaan ad-Duba’ee narrated: Aboo at-Tayyaaj narrated to us, he said: “I said to ‘Abdur-Rahmaan bin Khanbash at-Tameemee – and he was an old man – ‘did you reach the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم (during his lifetime)?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘So I said: How did the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم act on the night the shayaateen plotted against him?’ So he said: ‘Indeed the shayaateen descended that night upon the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم from the valleys and mountain paths, and amongst them was a shaytaan, in his hand was a flame of fire, wanting to burn the face of Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم with it. So Jibreel – عليه السلام – descended to him and said: ‘O Muhammad! Say:
What is said to ward off the deception of the Obstinate Shaytaans.

Translation:
(( I seek refuge by the complete, perfect words of Allaah, which no righteous one nor wicked one can exceed, from the evil of what He has created, and from the evil of what descends from the heavens, and from the evil of what ascends to them, and from the evil of what is sown in the earth and is created, and from the evil of what comes out from it, and from the evil of the fitan of the night and the day, and from the evil of everyone who comes knocking, except for the one who comes knocking with khayr, O Rahmaan! ))
So it (this du’aa) extinguished their fire, and Allaah تبارك و تعالى defeated them.” [2]
