The Lucrative Brother
It is reported that Bilāl b. Saʿd – Allāh have mercy on him – said:
A brother who, whenever you meet him, points out to you one of your faults (for you to correct yourself) is better for you than a brother who, whenever you meet him, puts a dīnār (money) in your hand.

Students of knowledge of the past
Ibn Qutaibah رحمه الله said: "In the past, a student of knowledge would listen to learn, and learn to act, and gain understanding of the religion in order to benefit himself and others. But now it has become such that they listen (only) in order to accumulate, and they accumulate (only) in order to be mentioned, and they memorise in order to overcome (others) and boast."

Standing Out Firmly With Justice
Shaykh Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Madkhali [حفظه الله] said:
«يجب أن نربي أنفسنا على قول الحق ، وقبل ذلك على البحث عن الحق ، فتقف إلى جانب الحق ، وتكون قواماً بالقسط ، شهيداً لله ، ولو على نفسك أو الوالدين والأقربين.»
❝It is obligatory that we educate and train ourselves upon speaking the truth, but before that, is to search for the truth.
You should stand on the side of the truth, standing out firmly with justice, witnesses for Allaah even if it is against your own-self or your parents and close relatives. ❞

It is mentioned in Saheeh Muslim from the hadeeth of Zayd bin Thaabit, from Our Prophet ﷺ that he said:
تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ "
"Seek protection with Allaah from Fitan, whatever is apparent and hidden."
The companions - رضي الله عنهم - said:
نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ.
"We seek protection with Allaah from Fitan, whatever is apparent and hidden."

How many people sleep through the time of fajr yet jump up to their alarm to attend their job on time? Don't they realise that they go out from their homes to get their provision but they forget about the Provider Himself; Ar-Razzaq.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “The two Rak'ah before the Dawn (Fajr) Prayer are Better than this World and ALL it contains.”

On the authority of Ibn Umar who said: ‘A man came to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: ‘
O Messenger of Allaah! Which of the people are the most beloved to Allaah and which of the actions are most beloved to Allaah?’
The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
‘The most beloved of the people to Allaah are the most beneficial for the people. The most beloved of actions to Allaah –Azza wa Jal- are to cause happiness to reach a Muslim, to relieve him from a hardship, to settle a debt for a Muslim or to repel hunger from him. For me to walk with a brother in order to assist him is more beloved to me than to make ‘Itikaf in this Masjid (Masjid al-Madeenah) for a month.
Whoever holds back his anger then Allaah hides his mistakes. Whoever suppresses his anger – even though he is not scared to show it, but withholds due to the truth – Allaah fills his heart with hope on the day of Judgement. Whoever walks with his brother to assist him with a need until he has helped him completely, then Allaah plants his feet firmly on the day people will not stand firmly. Indeed bad behaviour spoils good actions, just as vinegar spoils honey.’

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered Mecca (in the year of the Conquest) and there were three-hundred and sixty idols around the Kaba. He then started hitting them with a stick in his hand and say: 'Truth (i.e. Islam) has come and falsehood (disbelief) vanished. Truly falsehood (disbelief) is ever bound to vanish.'

The Sunnah of Fajr
'Ā'ishah has been reported to have said: "The Prophet (ﷺ) did not take care of any voluntary act of worship the way he took care of the two prayer units of Fajr." (al-Bukhārī, 1169, Muslim, 724, 94 (repeated).
It has also been reported from 'Ā'ishah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The two prayer units of Fajr are better than this world and all that it contains." (Muslim, 725, 96)
In another report of his (725, 97): "They are more beloved to me than the whole world."

💎Lessons from the Past on Not Mixing with the People of Desires
👤Shaikh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī, may Allāh protect him from every harm, said:
So we warn all young Salafīs against mixing with the people of desires, being at ease with them, leaning towards them, or trusting them.
So [all young Salafīs] should learn a lesson from those before [us] who had become deceived by themselves, considering themselves [able to] guide the people of misguidance and turn them back from their deviation and misguidance--only for themselves to totter, stumble, and then fall headlong into the arms of the people of innovation.
Many experiences have occurred from the dawn of Islāmic history; children of the Companions, when they leaned towards and trusted Ibn Sabaʾ, fell into misguidance.

Question: Does the dead person see? And how far can he see?
Answer: Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله answered:
The deceased person does not see the seeing which is known in the dunya (this life), because by dying he has lost his senses, but he sees that which he sees in his grave from the world of the hereafter, and his grave is expanded for him for as far as he can see if he is a believer, and he sees the two angels when they question him about his Lord, his religion and his prophet.
As for that which relates to the affairs of the dunya he does not see it, because he is veiled from the affairs of the dunya as a result of dying.
