Do not be from those who are not shy of committing sins in front of Allah ﷻ Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله: “He values the watchfulness of other members of the creation with his entire heart and every limb He shies away from the people but does not shy away from Allāh.”

You'll be feeling lazy and unmotivated, but then you read a part of the Qur'an, and all of a sudden you feel ready to take on the whole world 🥺 Indeed, the Qur'an is truly a cure for whatever is in the chest. Subhanallah

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab رحمه الله memorised Quran at 10 years old and lead the prayer at 12 years old. Died at 91 years.

1- The definition of Tawheed. Belief that Allah alone is the Creator, Sustainer, and Master of the universe. 2- The definition of Shirk (polytheism). Associating partners with Allah in any aspect that is exclusive to Him alone, whether in His Lordship (Rububiyyah), His Worship (Uluhiyyah), or His Names and Attributes (Asma' wa Sifat). 3- The state of the polytheists among whom the Prophet ﷺ was sent. They acknowledged Allah as the Supreme Creator, yet bowed to idøLs. The Prophet ﷺ was sent to call them from merely knowing their Lord to worshipping Him alone. Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], 'We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position.'" (Surah Az-Zumar, 39:3) 4- The definition of ‘Ibadah (worship). It's every thought, word, and action done to please Allah. From prayer to smiling, from earning halal to helping others – when done with sincerity and according to the Sunnah, it all becomes worship. "I did not create jinn and mankind except to worship Me." (Quran 51:56) 5- The difference between Rubūbiyyah (Lordship) & Ulūhiyyah (Worship), and the connection between them. Rubūbiyyah (Lordship) Belief that Allah alone is the: Creator, Sustainer, Master of Everything Directing all acts of worship to Allah alone: Prayer, Du'a, Sacrifice, Reliance.

The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said: He who slaps his cheeks, tears his clothes and follows the ways and traditions of the Days of Ignorance is not one of us. [Sahih Al Bukhari (1294)] I hope you are thinking what am thinking 🤔

"A sinner may think he is safe because his health and wealth remain untouched — yet his heedlessness is itself a punishment. A sin followed by another sin is the punishment for the first; a good deed followed by another is the reward for the first."

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah رحمه الله said: “The Deen will not be complete except by knowing the Prophetic Ahadeeth & Salafi Aathaar [narrations] according to what the Prophet & the Companions intended from the religious meanings, as were the scholars of the Salaf.” [Jamia Al-Masail, (5/41)]

Be consistent with your morning and evening adhkar their protection by will of Allah is indescribable.

A woman once said: "I used to regularly pray with a du'a from the Prophet (SAW), which we often overlook. The du'a is: اللهم أصلح ذات بيننا، وألِّف بين قلوبنا، واهدنا سُبُلَ السلام ‘O Allah, mend what is between us, unite our hearts, and guide us to the paths of peace.’ -Abu Dawood (2594) and Ahmad (23064) Then she said: "SubhanAllah! I began to feel peace in my home with my children, my husband, my family, and everyone around me." How amazing that such a powerful du'a exists, yet most people rarely remember to say it.

Imam Ibn Taymeeyah رحمه الله said: “Sufyaan Bin 'Uayaynah was asked about feeling sadness for an unknown reason.  He said: 'It is a sin which you desired to do secretly but you did not perform it, so you were rewarded with sadness for it.' Therefore, sins have a penalty, secret sins are sanctioned secretly and public sins are sanctioned publicly.” [Majmoo Al-Fatawa, (14/111)]

Don’t let your life story be: “He knew every World Cup player & celebrity, but not the names of the 10 sahabah who were promised Paradise.” & "He stayed awake all night for matches, yet slept through Fajr without regret" May Allah guide us & protect us from wasting our time on things that bring no benefit in this dunya or akhirah.

The love of fame breaks backs! Bishr ibn al-Harith, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I do not know of a man who loved to be known except that his religion was lost and he was disgraced! A man who loves to be known by people will not find the sweetness of the Hereafter. Hilyat al-Awliya' by Abu Nu'aym (8/343)

Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, [may Allāh have mercy upon him], said: “Whoever thinks that he can simply take from : - the Book (the Qur'ān) and - the Sunnah Without: - following the Sahābah (the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, may Allāh be pleased with them), and pursues a path other than theirs, Is from the people of innovation.” [Mukhtasar Al-Fatāwā Al-Misriyyah p556]

Best ride i took today Allahuma Bārik ‏إِنَّ الرِّجَالَ النَّاظِرِينَ إِلَى النِّسَا مِثْلُ الْكِلاَبِ تَطُوفُ بِاللُّحْمَانِ إِنْ لَمْ تَصُنْ تِلْكَ اللُّحُومَ أُسُودُهَا أُكِلَتْ بِلاَ عِوَضٍ وَلاَ أَثْمَانِ لاَ تَقْبَلَنَّ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَوَدَّةً فَقُلُوبُهُنَّ سَرِيعَةُ الْمَيَلاَنِ - نونية عبدالله القحطاني

Ibn ul-Qayyim (رحمه اللّه) said: “The heart’s safety and soundness cannot be perfected, absolutely, until it is secure from five things: - From shirk which nullifies taw’heed - From bid’ā (innovation) which opposes the Sunnah - From a desire/lust that opposes the command (of Allaah) - From heedlessness that contradicts remembrance (of Him) - From a desire that nullifies purity and sincerity (in intent and purpose) These five are barriers to Allaah and beneath each of them are many other categories that contain unique issues which cannot be enumerated.” [Al-Jawaab al-Kaafee (1/176)]

A very beautiful and amazing description of Knowledge by Shaykh Salih Al Usaymi حفظه الله, he says: “It is the honour of everything that exists, and the light of every peak and valley. It is the adornment of the greats, and the pleasure of those who behold it. Whoever is inclined toward it is blessed, and whoever carries it around with them has gained a great prize, and whoever acts according to it will be safe. If it were a product that was sold, huge amounts of money would be spent on it, and if it were high up in the sky, the people of nobility would have risen up to it. Out of every marketplace, it is the most profitable, and out of every source of pride, it is the most honourable. Achievements in it are the most noble of achievements, & its resources are the most praiseworthy of resources. The eternally happy is the one who spurs himself to seek it, and encourages the journeying of his soul towards it; while the wretched is the one who turns away from it or he makes others do so, and distances himself from it, or makes others do so. His nose is blocked from the fragrance of knowledge, and his neck is sealed with the words 'This is a slave who is bereft'. Knowledge enters the heart of every successful one; without any doorman or seeking permission; And the bereft repels it due to his failure; O Allāh! Do not make us wretched by prohibiting us from it!” شرح تعظيم العلم

If you do not learn Tawheed and Aqeedah, then even a cat can disturb your peace of mind, and something as small as an eye twitch will trouble you.

When you read a book by ibn Taymiyyah and ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله 😄

Imam Ibn Baz - rahimahullah - said: "It isn't permissible to be lenient with young girls when they wear short clothes, because raising them like this leads to them becoming accustomed to it and hating everything else when they grow up."

Al-Marrūdhī said: “I said to Abū ʿAbdillāh [Aḥmad Ibn Ḥanbal]: ‘Do you see it fit for a man to busy himself with fasting and prayer while remaining silent about speaking against the people of innovation?’ He frowned and said: ‘If he fasts, prays, and isolates himself from the people, isn’t it only for himself?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then if he speaks [against deviants], it is for himself and for others; speaking is better.’” [Ṭabaqāt Al-Ḥanābilah 3/400]
