📌The Student of Knowledge and Boredom

💎It was authentically narrated from Imam as Shafi'i رحمه الله that he said:

'The afflictions of the student are boredom, the shortage of his patience in the lesson and the scarcity of his contemplation. The person who is often bored is not one who memorizes.
Rather, the one who memorizes is the person who is consistent in his lessons, exerts his mental faculties, burns the midnight oil and he is not the one who simply entertains himself.'

Q: A man heard me cursing Satan one day and criticized me for that. He said it is prohibited to curse Satan, because cursing him makes him haughty. Is this correct? Please, advise. May Allah reward you!

Shaykh Fawzan’s Introduction to Sharhu Sunnah of Imam al-Barbahari – Dawud Burbank [Audio|En]

Points Discussed:

Brief about Imam Barbahari rahimahullah
The intended meaning of Sunnah as mentioned in the noscript of the book
The early muslims used to refer to the books of Aqeedah as as-Sunnah, al-Iman, ash-Shari’ah, at-Tawheed, al-Aqeedah
Rebuttal of the claim that Aqeedah and Tawheed are terms that are not supported by any evidence
Importance of Aqeedah and Tawheed for the Unity of Muslims and Ummah
Explanation of the misguided saying : “We will be united upon what we agree on and excuse one another in what we differ in”
Many of the people following one of the four imams in Fiqh matters Only and not in Aqeedah (Creed)

Whoever will be called to account (about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection) will surely be punished

Interpretation of seeing the dead in a dream in a disliked situation - Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen

https://abdurrahman.org/2011/10/14/interpretation-of-seeing-the-dead-in-a-dream/

Shaykh Uthaymeen: "If one sees a deceased in a good state in a dream, this lends hope that he is in a good state. If one sees him in another type of state, this could simply be devils taking on the form of people. Devils take on the shapes of people in a disliked situation in order to grieve the living. "
