Importance of Reading Books on Rudood for Students of Knowledge
Scholars of the Ahlus-Sunnah strongly recommend reading books that refute false beliefs and misguided ideologies. These works contain invaluable knowledge, clarifications of evidentiary reasoning, and rebuttals to the misconceptions propagated by those who deviate from the truth—insights that are often unavailable in other books. Engaging with such literature:

"Whoever considers themselves a Shafi'ee must adopt the creed of Imam Ash-Shafi'ee. His creed was not just Salafi; rather, he was the Imam of Ahlus-Sunnah in his time. Sheikh Abdul Khaliq Al-’Imad has authored a book titled "The Opposition of the Shafi'iyyah to Ash-Shafi'i" for those who wish to benefit from it.
Preserve the Dignity of the Da'wah & Avoid Turning It into a means of Entertainment
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan (may Allāh preserve him) said:
«الدعوة إلى الله ليست ضحكًا ولا مزحاً ولا ترفيها، إنما الدعوة إلى الله صدق وجدٌ ومجالس ذكر، وآيات وأحاديث وذكر الجنة والنار، وأما استعمال التراهات والأضاحيك والسفاهات هذه لا تجوز في مجالس الذكر ولا تجوز في المساجد بصفة خاصة لا تليق بمجالس الذكر ولا يجوز أن تُنسب إلى الدعوة إلى الله عز وجل»
"Calling to Allāh is not about laughter, joking, or entertainment.…

Fear of Showing Off (Riyā') and the Deception of Shayṭān
Sheikh Fatḥ Al-Qadasi ḥafidhahullāh says:
Fear of riyā' is one of the gateways through which Shayṭān leads people away from righteousness. He instills in you the fear of riyā' to prevent you from performing good deeds, ultimately depriving you of many acts of worship.
If you are encouraged to give charity, you might refuse, saying, "I fear riyā'." If you are asked to join the congregation and stand in the first…

BENEFIT 340: Is it true that the Earth is round, like an egg or a sphere?
Sheikh Aḥmad An-Najmi raḥimahullāh answered:
I say that the Earth's spherical shape is an undeniable fact. This is evident from the time differences between various regions; for example, when it is before noon in America, we in the Arabian Peninsula are between Maghrib and Isha, with a time difference of approximately 8 to 10 hours. This is clear evidence of the Earth's spherical shape.
However, the issue of…
