Ibn al-Qayyim:
“When the veil has been lifted on the Day of Judgement revealing the value of good deeds for the people, they will not see any action better in reward than (Dhikr), at that time a group of people will sigh and say:
There was nothing easier for us than DHIKR.”

Alī Ibn Abī Tālib (رضي الله عنه) said,
"Fitnah was established on three pillars:
Women [which is] Shaytān's set trap;
Alcohol [which is] Shaytān's swift sword; and
Wealth [which is] Shaytān's poisonous arrow."
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said,
“He who sways too much toward women will
never enjoy life. And he who enjoys alcohol will
never enjoy a sound mind, and he who loves
wealth will be a slave to it for as long as he
lives.”

Allaah swears an oath by them to indicate their importance and great benefit. Allaah says:
"By the dawn; by the ten nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2].
Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said:
"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these 10 days." The people asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?"
He said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." [Al-Bukhaari].

*Why is the Day of ‘Arafah given this name?*
Al-Imām ibn al-Jawzi [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“One of the two reasons is:
It was given this name because [Angel] Jibreel [عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم] showed [Prophet] Ibrāheem [عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم] the rites [of Hajj] and then would say ‘do you now know [i.e. understand].’”
The second reason [why it is given this name is]
“Ādam and Hawā [عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَم] reaquainted [after being expelled from Heaven] there [i.e. at Mount ‘Arafah].”

The sun does not rise on any day better than the day of ʿArafah, nor does it set on any night better than the night of Qadar. Duʿā’ in them is among the best of deeds and the most likely of them to be accepted and answered.

THIS IS TAQWA
“A believer treats a sin as if it is a mountain over his head that may fall on him any moment. Whereas a regular violator looks at them as a fly that perked on his nose and he waived it away with his hand.” (Bukhari)
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Persisting in a minor sin may be equal in seriousness to a major sin or even more serious.
Al-Qurtubi said:
Persisting means resolving in the heart to do something and not give it up.
Qataadah said:
Persisting means adhering steadfastly to sin.
Al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 36/305
An-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) said: Persisting in a minor sin makes it a major sin.
It was narrated from ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbaas and others (may Allah be pleased with them): There is no major sin if one prays for forgiveness and no minor sin if one persists in it. What is meant is that the major sin may be erased by praying for forgiveness, but the minor sin becomes a major sin if one persists in it.
Shaykh Abu ‘Amr ibn as-Salaah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The one who persists is the one who has the intention to do it again, which is contrary to the idea of repentance. Persisting in a minor sin could change it to a major sin.
End quote from Sharh Saheeh Muslim, 2/82
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Praying for forgiveness is of no benefit when one persists in sin, because it is closer to making a mockery (of faith) than to good deeds.

⚡Allowing Ribaa because of necessity?!
🔥Ribaa is Haraam (prohibited) in whatever form it exists!
👉 When luxuries are involved, what is Haraam will always remain Haraam, necessities do not make it Halaal.
The only time a necessity makes a Haraam thing Halaal is when it is a matter of life or death, but never for luxurious purposes. Example: a person who is starving and has nothing to eat except dead meat, then it is allowed for him to eat only to the extent that he can sustain his life.
But unfortunately, there are people who allow mortgages and student loans – from banks or other institutions - because they claim that it is a necessity, as not everyone can afford to purchase a house or pay the tuition fees without these loans.
This is a futile argument. Allowing such loans because of necessity is like allowing fornication for those who cannot afford to marry.
Ribaa is Haraam in whatever form it exists and wherever it is done – be it in the West or in the East and there are clear warnings against this sin.
One such example is the saying of the Prophet ﷺ : ❝There are seventy degrees of usury, the least of which is equivalent to a man having intercourse with his mother.❞
📚[Sunan Ibn Maajah (2274) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
And the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Before the advent of the Hour, Ribaa (usury), Zina (fornication) and Khamr (intoxicants) will become widespread.❞
📚 [See al-Saheehah (3415/2) of Shaikh al-Albaanee and Saheeh al-Targheeb (1861) and graded as “Saheeh li ghairihee” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

HAS C.A.N THREAT CHANGED ANYTHING?
When the people of Musa 'alayhissalam saw the sea before them and the Pharaoh's army behind them, it seemed to them that there could never be any escape route so they lost courage and said:
(إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ)
"'We are sure to be overtaken"[ Quran 26:61],
but not so their prophet who remained trustingly as firm as ever on the promise of his Lord, so he answered:
( كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّ مَعِیَ رَبِّی سَیَهۡدِینِ)
"No! Verily, with me is my Lord, He will guide me" [26;62].
We remain convinced that the enormity of the evil in democracy is not any less because of the unprecedented threat from bigoted CAN, neither is our conviction that it is not our way.

The evil eye is real
The Hadith of
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad that
So
So I went to the Prophet ِsallallahu alayhi wa sallam and informed him. Then, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came walking, and he was wading in the water. I can still picture the whiteness of his shins. When he came to Sahl (who was unconscious), he hit him on his chest with his hand and said,- O Allah! Remove from him its heat, its cold and its pain.
He (Sahl) then stood up, and Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,If one of you sees in his brother, or himself, or his wealth that which pleases him, then he should ask Allah to bless it, for verily, the evil eye is real.

The Hadith of
Amir bin Rabiah Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad that
Ubaydullah bin Amir said, "Amir bin Rabiah and Sahl bin Hanayf went off together intending to bathe. So they went about their business using coverings (to cover their nakedness). So
Amir removed a cloak of wool that he (Sahl) was using to conceal himself. He (Amir) said, `I looked at him and my eye fell upon him while he was pouring water on himself bathing. Then I heard a loud splash in the water coming from where he was. So I went to him, and I called him three times, but he did not answer me. So I went to the Prophet ِsallallahu alayhi wa sallam and informed him. Then, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came walking, and he was wading in the water. I can still picture the whiteness of his shins. When he came to Sahl (who was unconscious), he hit him on his chest with his hand and said,- O Allah! Remove from him its heat, its cold and its pain.
