The Excellence Of Waiting For The Prayer
Ibn 'Abdul Barr رحمه الله stated: "I don't know of any existing difference of opinion between the scholars that whoever goes (to the masjid) early, and waits for the prayer, even if he does not pray in the first row, is better then the one who is late and then passes over the rows to the first rows!

The Salaf As-Salih Did Not Celebrate The Mawlid Of The Prophet
Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah [رحمه الله] said regarding the Mawlid of the Prophet [ﷺ]:
❝The Salaf As-Salih did not do this even though they could have done it and there was no prevention in doing so. If the Mawlid was good or seen as beneficial the Salaf [رضي الله عنهم] would have had more of a right to it than us because they were the greatest in love for the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] and in respect for him, compared to us, and were more concerned for goodness.
Indeed loving him completely and respecting him is by following him [ﷺ], obeying him and following his commands, reviving his Sunnah outwardly and inwardly and conveying what he was sent with, striving upon that with the heart, hand and tongue, as this was the way of the foremost to embrace Islaam from the Muhajireen, the Ansar and those who followed them in goodness.❞

It is only right that a person be optimistic, feeling happy about the good he sees (in things); and he should not look at the life lying ahead of him in this world as dark and dismal so that he becomes weary (of life) and loses hope.

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said,
"Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are:
1. a just ruler;
2. a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his childhood),
3. a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational Salāt (prayers) in the mosques);
4. two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only;
5. a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah;
6. a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity).
7. a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears."

🍂 The Relief From Distress 🍂
An Explanation to the du‘ā of Prophet Yūnus عليهم السلام
🎓By: Shaykhu'l-Islām ibn 'Taymiyyah - رحمه الله -
Prophet Yūnus (‘alayhi as-Salam) spent many years calling his people to worship Allāh alone, and to abandon their sinful ways. Only a few people believed in his message; finally, in despair, Yūnus supplicated to Allāh that His punished descends upon his nation.
He was commanded by Allāh to preach to his people for a further forty days, when three days remained he proclaimed amongst his people that punishment would afflict them in three days and he fled. His people gathered together and agreed that Yūnus was a pious person who was not known to lie, and when they saw that he had indeed fled, they became certain of the imminent punishment and repented, so Allāh forgave them and showed them mercy.
When Yūnus came to know that Allāh forgave his people, fearing disgrace and being called a liar, he embarked upon a ship, before long the ship was overcome with a bad weather, as a result, he was thrown into the sea and swallowed by a huge whale.
In the stomach of the whale, he called upon his Lord in pitch darkness, “There is none worthy of worship save You! Glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been among the wrongdoers.” Allāh responded to him and rescued him from grief, and the whale spews him out onto the beach.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The dua of my brother Yūnus, “None has the right to be worshiped save You; glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers,’ none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allāh would relieve him of his difficulty.”
