Who promised you that you'll wake up tomorrow? Who guaranteed that you'll have another chance to repent, to pray, to seek Allah's forgiveness, or to make things right?
Look how quickly circumstances can change.
Did those 900+ Venezuelans expect that such a decree would suddenly befall them? Did those who attended that music festival know what awaited them before they left their homes? None of them believed that…
Running From Criticism is a Race You'll Never Win!
وَاللهِ لَو صاحَبَ الإِنسانُ جِبرِيلا ... لَم يَسلَمِ المَرءُ مِن قال وَمِن قيلا
By Allah, even if a person were a companion of Jibreel, They still would not escape people's gossip and criticism.
قَد قيلَ في الله أَقوالا مُصنفة ... تتلى إِذا رُتِّلَ القُرآنُ تَرتيلا
Many different claims have been made about Allah—yet they are recited whenever the Qur'an is recited with measured, proper recitation.

Question:
A questioner says, “I feel distressed. What advice would you give me?”
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah:
The advice is: be patient and remember Allah often.
Is there anyone in this world who never feels distressed?

Shaykh Abdullah Lamh’s research is very timely [https://t.me/madrasatunaa/406], given how widely these weak narrations are being circulated, with some even ascribing them to Shaykh Rabeeʿ without prop
This is a valuable research by Shaykh Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Lamamh Al-Khawlani examining the narrations that say fasting Arafah equals two years of fasting, while fasting on Ashura equals one year
The conclusion reached is that the narrations are weak.

Enquiry:
Should we fast in the UK despite the heatwave?
Advice:
I was speaking to a good friend of mine in Saudi Arabia. He asked how things were in the UK and whether there was anything new. I replied, “Alhamdulillah, all is well. The only real update is the heatwave. Temperatures have reached around 33°C, which is unusually high for us.”
His response was:«
"يا رجل احنا فوق ٥٠"
“(Come on) man, we're over…
BENEFIT: If fasting the day of 'Arafah expiates two years worth of sins; the previous and the coming, why do we need to fast 'Ashura?
Imam An-Nawawi rahimahullah said:
If someone said: “If wudhu expiates [sins], what does prayer expiate? And if prayer expiates [sins], what will Jumu'ah and Ramdhan expiate? Similarly, fasting the day of 'Arafah is an expiation for two years, while fasting the day of 'Ashura is an expiation for one year?”
The answer is as the scholars have mentioned: that each of the aforementioned is an independent form of…
How Muslims Should Approach the Days of Tasu‘a and ‘Ashura

Sheikh Rashad Adh-Dhali'ee hafidhahullah:
These days are simply days like other days. What has been prescribed for us is to fast on them. We should neither celebrate them like the Jews celebrate, nor mourn them like the Rafidah do.
The Jews take these days as a festival.…
The Evil Result of Turning Away from Islamic Knowledge
Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah said:
"فإن الإنسان إذا كان لا يحضر حلقات العلم، ولا يسمع الخطب، ولا يعتني بما ينقل عن أهل العلم، فإنه تزداد غفلته، وربما يقسو قلبه حتى يطبع عليه ويختم عليه فيكون من الغافلين."
“Indeed, when a person does not attend circles of knowledge, does not listen to sermons, and does not pay attention to what is conveyed from the people of knowledge, his heedlessness increases. His heart may even…

If you study daily, over time, you'll become knowledgeable in ways that seem almost effortless.
But if your habits involve checking WhatsApp statuses every five minutes, multitasking between TikTok and Instagram, you'll look back after five years and regret how you've spent your life. Time will have slipped through your fingers, leaving you with little to show for it.

The Provider in Non-Muslim Lands Is the Provider in Muslim Lands
Sheikh Rabīʿ Al-Madkhalī rahimahullah said:
"Many people think that if they live in the Muslim lands, they will die starving, naked and in loss, thinking that they will only find happiness in the non-Muslim lands. I seek refuge in Allāh, this is from having evil thoughts of Allāh."
