Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله: "The heart is corrupted by the corruption of the eyes.” [Jawab al-Kafi | Pg. 421]

The Sunnah is also a revelation from Allah! It has indeed become one of the major fitan of today that people tend to take only from the Qur'aan & disregard the Sunnah while seeing it as righteousness. Or they take part of the Sunnah on the basis of speculation. Shaikh Dr. Asim Al Qaryooti from the senior students of Shaykh nasirdeen albani رحمه الله تعالى refutes this entire concept of deviance and establishes the proof of the Sunnah and it's status. https://youtu.be/I-wthC1097Y?si=KV5YMMJiyogbtgaX

The Trial Of Wanting Fame! Ibn Kathir mentions in As-Siyar: A man asked his friend: Did Al-Khateeb mention me in his Tarikh Baghdad from the trustworthy ones or from the liars? So his friend responded: He didn’t even mention you in the first place So he responded: If only he had mentioned me, even if I was mentioned from the Liars (18/381) May Allah protect us from such a state…

Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr said : Some wise men have said : قال ابن عبد البر : قال بعض الحُكماء : الإخوان بِمنزلة النّار،‏ قليلها متاع، وكثيرها بوار، فلا تسرّنّ بِكثرة الإخوان، إذا لم يكونوا أخْياراً. Friends are like fire : a little of it is useful, but too much of it is destructive. So do not be pleased with having many friends if they are not good ones. ‏بهجة المجالس (154)

How should one fear shirk? 1. By studying Tawheed 2. By knowing and understanding shirk so you don't fall into it 3. By making dua to Allah to save your from shirk وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْ هَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدَ ءَامِنًۭا وَٱجْنُبْنِى وَبَنِىَّ أَن نَّعْبُدَ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ ˹Remember˺ when Abraham prayed, “My Lord! Make this city ˹of Mecca˺ secure, and keep me and my children away from the worship of idols. Quran 14:35 May Allah protect us from shirk Aameeen

This is a beautiful book written by one of the brothers who was in dammaj Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Hizam حفظه الله, this book is a compilation of only Sahih Hadiths from the prophet صل الله عليه وسلم and Authentic statements of the Salaf regrading all the main matters of Tawheed and Aqeedah ‎The Author goes over the different chapters of Tawheed and Aqeedah in this book and brings the evidences for them like the three categories of Tawheed, All the pillars of Imaan, and other matters of Aqeedah pertaining to things like the Muslim ruler and Wala/Bara ‎This book is fairy small and is only around 180 pages (Depending on the print) and it contains around 380 reports, The book is in a format that makes it easy for the person to memorize, so you can go to each باب of Aqeedah and memorize the different evidences needed ‎This book is a gem considering that it contains all the main evidences pertaining to all the main matters of Itqaad ‎It is a very comprehensive and beneficial book, I believe that if a person had to choose only one book to study the Aqeedah of Ahul Sunnah and be grounded in it then this book would suffice to a certain extent. this is a book that needs to be studied, memorized and taught, and the people will find this book extremely beneficial.

Ibn Taymīyah said: “If you fear Allāh, repent from your sins and seek His forgiveness, nobody can overpower you.” [مجموعة الفتاوى ١٧٨/١]

Al-Awza'ee رحمه الله said: “I realized that people were reserving things (their duas, needs, wishes) for the day of 'Arafah to ask Allah for them. And some of them used to say: "For fifty years I have been supplicating (making du'a) on the day of 'Arafah and the year does not go by except that I see (the answer of my du'a come to pass) as the morning light (as clear as day)." [Al-Lataif al-Ma'arif, pg. 494, Ibn Rajab]

Listen to this great and powerful reminder before the day of Arafah! Sheikh Muhammad Sa’eed Raslan
