If your friend invites you to a meal, you are ever grateful.
Yet your mother and father work tirelessly to provide you 3 meals a day, and still, you treat them with disrespect!
Dhakwān As-Sammān said: I heard Abu Hurairah say:
((اقرءوا القرآنَ، فإنَّهُ نِعْمَ الشفيعُ يومَ القيامةِ، إنَّهُ يقول يومَ القيامةِ: يا ربِّ حَلِّهِ حِلْيَةَ الكرامةِ. فيُحلَّى حِليةَ الكرامةِ، يا ربِّ اكْسُه كسوةَ الكرامةِ. فيُكسى كسوةَ الكرامةِ، يا ربِّ ألبِسْه تاجَ الكرامةِ يا ربِّ ارْضَ عنه فليس بعد رضاكَ شيءٌ)).

BENEFIT 302: Beware of Sayyid Quṭb and his works, particularly 'In the Shade of the Qur'an' في ظلال القرآن
Question: May Allāh reward you with goodness. Your Eminence, you mentioned in your discussion on Tafsir of 'Fi dhilal al-Qur'an' by Sayyid Qutb that it contains serious deviations regarding the Tawheed of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and a distortion of the objectives of the Shari'ah. What is the ruling on reading this book or teaching it to others?

ʿĪsā ibn Maryam عليه السلام revived the dead by the permission of Allāh, and whoever believed in his message during his time was saved.
Dajjāl will also revive the dead, but whoever believes in his claim will be ruined.
This is because ʿĪsā عليه السلام calls to Tawheed, while Dajjāl calls to Kufr.

Sheikh ’Adnan Al-Masqari ḥafidhahullāh answered:
ما صنعت أمك من الطعام المعتاد فكل، وما صنعته من الحلوى والطعام الزائد يوم عيد الكفار فلا تأكل. والله الموفق.
"Eat from the regular food your mother prepares, but do not eat from the sweets or extra food made specifically for the disbelievers' holiday. And Allāh is the One Who grants success."
Even if some of these things are halaal, accepting and eating them is part of celebrating with them. We are ordered to oppose and be different from the disbelievers in all their customs, manners and s

Imitating Christians, Jews and others is from the major sins, so it's imperative that we Muslims stay far away from resembling Christians in what they are doing at this time of the year.
This includes the second big celebration they have following Christmas; New Year's Day.
We Muslims follow the Hijriah calendar not the…

Christmas is a festival of major Shirk where Christians worship 'Ēsā who they call Jesus. They make him into a God and elevate him far above Allāh, Who sent him.
The name "Christmas" linguistically, is made up of two words, "Christ", which comes from the Greek word, "Kristos" meaning "annointed" and "Mass". This Mass is
a ceremony resembling cannibalism which they perform regularly in their churches,…

BENEFIT 300: Have Ahlus-Sunnah changed their stance on revolutions following the fall of Bashar al-Assad?
Sheikh Salman Al-’Imad writes:
"Ahlus-Sunnah, at the onset of the Syrian uprising in 2011 during the so-called 'Arab Spring', which affected many Arab countries including Syria, maintained a clear and firm stance of rejection and rebuking. This position was well-documented and rooted in the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the Manhaj of the righteous predecessors, may Allāh be pleased with them.
The consequences of these…

Question: In some schools it is requested from the students to draw living creatures or they are given for example, a picture of part of a chicken and they are ordered to complete the rest.
