Al-Shāfi’ī رحمه الله said:
“There is not a person except that he has those who
love him and those who hate him. If this is inevitable, then let the individual
be with those who are obedient to Allāh,
the Mighty and Majestic.”

There is no doubt that knowledge is the
key to all good and the means to fulfill the Ordinances of Allah and abstain
from what He has forbidden. Actions come after having knowledge, for those whom
Allah has granted success. Knowledge supports the determination to do good,
because there is no Iman (faith), action, or striving except based on
knowledge. Words and actions which are not based on knowledge are worthless and
may incur bad consequences and great corruption.

From
What Obligates Forgiveness
من موجبات المغفرة
From
al-Miqdam bin Shuraih from his father, from his grandfather who said I said:
O
Messenger of Allaah guide me to a deed which will enter me into Paradise.
The
Messenger answered:
إِنَّ من موجِباتِ
المغفرةِ، بذلُ السلامِ وحُسْنُ الكلام
‘Indeed
from those matters which obligate forgiveness is striving to say Salaam and
good speech.’

Karim – May Allah have mercy upon him – said:
“O students: If you want knowledge from
its sources, then these are the senior scholars; those whose beards have become
gray, and their bodies have shrunk and their strength has waned in (seeking) knowledge and
teaching.
Stick to them before you lose them and
draw out (benefit from) their treasures before it disappears with them, because
on a dark night, the full moon is missed.”

Allah, the Most High, said:
وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ
وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ
ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ رَفِيقًۭا
“Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger―they will be with those on
whom Allah has bestowed His Grace and Favour from among the Prophets, the
truthful who aided the truth, the martyrs and the righteous―how excellent these
companions are!” (An-Nisā’:
69)
A’ishah (radiyallāhu ‘anhā)
said: A man came to the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and
said: “O Messenger of Allāh! You are more beloved to
me than my wife, my wealth, my property and my son. I was in my home and
thought about you and I was not able to be patient until I had come to you and
saw you. And when I think of my death and your death, I know when you enter
Jannah, you will be raised to the levels of the Prophets (‘alaihimus-salām).
And if I enter Paradise, I fear that I will not see you.” So
the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) did not answer him with
anything until Jibreel (‘alaihis-salām) descended with this Āyah: “Whoever
obeys Allah and His Messenger, they will be with those on whom Allah has
bestowed His Grace and Favour…”[1]
[1] Reported by At-Tabarāni Al-Mu’jam
As-Sagheer 1/26; Al-Haythami said in Majma’ Az-Zawā’id (7/7) that all the
narrators are narrators of Sahīh Al-Bukhāri except Abdullāh bin ‘Imrān and he
is trustworthy (thiqah). And this narration is supported by the hadeeth of Ibn
‘Abbās cited in Majma’ Az-Zawā’id (7/7) and that has in its chain ‘Atā bin
As-Sā’ib and he used to mix up narrations. Imām Muqbil Al-Wādi’i stated in his
book, As-Saheeh Al-Musnad min Asbāb an-Nuzool (pp. 70-71): It has been reported
by Abu Nu’aym in Al-Hilyah (4/240, 8/125) and Al-Wāhidi in Asbāb an-Nuzool with
this chain of narration―and Ash-Shawkāni stated: Al-Maqdisi declared the
narration to be hasan and it has support as mentioned in the Tafseer of Ibn
Katheer (1/523) that strengthens its validity.

Ibn
al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:
فإنّ من لم يرَ نعمة الله عليه إلا في مأكله ومشربه وعافية بدنه فليس له نصيبٌ مِن العقل البتة، فنعمة الله بالإسلام و الإيمان، و جذب عبده إلى الإقبال عليه، و التلذذ بطاعته هي أعظم النعم، و هذا إنما يُدرك بنور العقل، وهداية التوفيق.
He who does not see the favour of Allāh
upon him except in his food, drink and well-being of his body, then he has no
share of intellect at all. For the favour of Allāh with Islām and Īmān, drawing
His servant to turn towards Him, and finding pleasure in His obedience, this is
the greatest of favours, and this is grasped through the light of intellect and
[receiving] the guidance of success.

A few extract:
Shaikh Ibn Baz:
The status of the Muslim woman in Islaam
is a very noble and lofty one, and her effect is very great in the life of
every Muslim. Indeed, the Muslim woman is the initial teacher in the building of a
righteous society, providing she follows the guidance from the Book of Allaah
and the Sunnah of His Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Since adherence to the Qur’aan and the Sunnah distances every Muslim
- male or female - from being misguided in any matter...

The Importance of Following the Sunnah
The Author [Al-Imaam Al-Barbahaari ] (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“So know that Islam is the Sunnah and the Sunnah is Islam and one of them is
not established except with the other.”
Al-Allaamah Rabee’ ibn
Haadee Al-Makhdali (may Allah preserve him said) [regarding the statement of
the author]:
“So he [the author] –
may Allaah have mercy upon him- draws the attention [of the reader] to the
status of the Sunnah. For verily al-Islam is the call of all the Prophets.
Allaah, the Most High, says:
{Verily the religion
with Allaah is Islam} (aal-Imran:19)
And He The Most High
says:
{And whoever seeks a
religion other than Al Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in there
hereafter, He will be from the losers} (aal-Imran : 85)
And the Sunnah is
the Tareeqah [path] of the Prophet ﷺ and his Manhaj [clear way] and his Akhlaaq [manners]. So
whoever doesn’t actualize this Sunnah [i.e. intentionally and after proofs has
been established against him] then he is a misguided innovator, he has not
implemented Al Islam [i.e. with regards to that aspect of the Sunnah which he
intentionally opposes]. And it might be that of those who oppose this
intentionally are disbelievers or hypocrites. And we seek refuge with Allaah
from that”.

The Supplication On The Day of ‘Arafah
From ‘Amr bin Shu’aib who said from his
father who said from his grandfather that the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa

‘Arafah; and the best of that which I and the Prophets before me said is:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ،
لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

The Hadeeth of Jibril
Abu Huraira reported:
One day the Messenger of
Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) appeared before the public that a man
came to him and said: Prophet of Allaah, (tell me) what is Eeman. Upon this he
(the Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allaah, His angels, His
Books, His meeting, His Messengers and that you affirm your faith in the
Resurrection hereafter. He (again) said: Messenger of Allaah, (tell me) what
does al-Islam signify. He (the Prophet) replied: Al-Islam signifies that you
worship Allaah and do not associate anything with Him and you establish
obligatory prayer and you pay the obligatory poor-rate (Zakat) and you observe
the fast of Ramadan. He (the inquirer) again said: Messenger of Allaah, what
does al-Ihsan imply? He (the Prophet) replied: That you worship Allaah as if
you are seeing Him, and in case you fail to see Him, then observe prayer (with
this idea in your mind) that (at least) He is seeing you. He (the inquirer )
again said: Messenger of Allaah, when would there be the hour (of Doom)? He
(the Prophet) replied: The one who is asked about it is no better informed than
the inquirer. I, however, narrate some of its signs (and these are): when the
slave-girl will give birth to he master, when the naked, barefooted would
become the chiefs of the people – these are some of the signs of (Doom).
(Moreover) when the shepherds of the black (camels) would exult themselves in
buildings, this is one of the signs of (Doom). (Doom) is one of the five
(happenings wrapped in the unseen) which no one knows but Allaah. Then he (the
Messenger of Allaah) recited (the verse):” Verily Allaah! with Him alone is the
knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends (down the rain) and knows that
which is in the wombs and no person knows whatsoever he shall earn tomorrow,
and a person knows not in whatsoever land he shall die. Verily Allaah is
Knowing, Aware. He (the narrator, Abu Huraira) said: Then the person turned
back and went away. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam)
said: Bring that man back to me. They (the Companions of the Prophet present
there) went to bring him back, but they saw nothing there. Upon this the
Messenger of Allaah remarked: he was Jibreel, who came to teach the people
their religion.

وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالْإِيمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
Allah (Exalted be He) says:
And whosoever
disbelieves in Faith [i.e. in the Oneness of Allâh and in all the other
Articles of Faith i.e. His (Allâh’s) Angels, His Holy Books, His Messengers,
the Day of Resurrection and Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], then fruitless
is his work; and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.(Sûrah Al-Mâ’idah 5:5)
وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), as it was to those (Allâh’s Messengers) before you: ”If you join others in worship with Allâh, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.” .(Sûrah Az-Zumar 39:65)
لَّيْسَ
الْبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ
مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالْكِتَابِ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each
and every act of obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards
east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who
believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets….(Sûrah Al-Baqarah 2:177)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ
الَّذِي نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ وَالْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ وَمَن
يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَقَدْ
ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا
O you who believe! Believe in Allâh, and His
Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and the Book (the Qur’ân) which He has sent down to His
Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down to those before (him); and
whosoever disbelieves in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the
Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away. (Sûrah An-Nîsâ’ 4:136)
أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۗ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ فِي كِتَابٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ
Know you not that Allâh knows all that is in the heaven and on the earth? Verily, it is (all) in the Book (Al-Lauh-al-Mahfûz). Verily that is easy for Allâh. (Sûrah Al-Hajj 22:70)

The Aqeedah of Tawheed (A clarification of that which opposes and

ta’eel and bid’ah)
By the Noble Shaikh, Dr. Saaleh bin Fawzaan bin Abdullaah al-Fawzaan (A member of the Committee of Senior Scholars)
1.1 The ‘aqeedah and its importance with regard to it being the
foundation upon which the deen is built.
1.2 The sources of ‘aqeedah and the manhaj of the Salaf in learning it.
1.3 The ways in which deviation from the ‘aqeedah occurs and the ways to
protect oneself
The Prophet (sallallaahu
‘alaihi wa sallam) said:
الكَلِمَةُ
الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ
(The
good word is charity.)[1]
Shaikh
Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) mentioned:
“Charity is not
exclusive to wealth, rather everything that draws one close to Allaah is
charity in the general sense, because carrying it is a proof of the
truthfulness of its adherent in seeking the pleasures of Allaah, The
Mighty and Majestic.”[2]
