If [an individual] becomes angry, the first thing he should do is say: I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan. Then carry out the following Sunan - seeking refuge with Allāh from the accursed Shayțān and remaining silent - until the burning coal of anger [inside of him] is extinguished, and he should sit down [until] the anger subsides; otherwise, he should lie down.

Sh. 'Abdur-Razzaq al-Badr [ شرح الأربعين النووية شريط (١٦) ]

There are two characteristics if found in a person, know that what is beyond these two traits is even better than them:

[One] if they restrain their tongue and [two] if they preserve their prayers.

Yahyā ibn Abī Kathir | الصمت للسيوطي (۹۷/۱)

Do not plant thorns in my path to harm me, for a day may come when you will come to me, walking toward me barefoot, and then you will see the marks of your own thorns upon your feet before you reach me.

When you are afflicted with a musibah (calamity) perhaps that musibah is good for you. Whether that calamity was in your wealth, Your body or in any other thing that pains and worries you. It could be a reason to raise you in this world and in the Hereafter.

Shaykh Muqbil bin Hadi al-Wadi'i | Al-Musara'ah 1/533

Turn a blind eye as much as you can. Do not make a problem out of every little thing. Turn a blind eye in your home, on the road, at the work, in the Masjid. Do not make a problem and discussion out of everything. This is better for your health. Out of ten situations, turn a blind eye to eight. Don't be like a cat always pouncing into problems.

- Shaykh Ibrahim Al Muhaymid حفظه الله

Al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī (رحمه الله) said:

“Taqwā continued to affect the pious until they abandoned much of what is permissible out of fear of falling into the prohibited.”

[Tafsīr Ibn Rajab: 1/362]

Alī b. Abī Ṭālib رضي الله عنه said:

“No one should place his hopes in anyone except his Lord.”

Majmoo’ al-Fataawa of Ibn Taymiyyah (v. 8, p. 99)

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin رحمه الله said:

“The delights of this world are like tranquillisers, as soon as their effect wears off, the pain returns even more severely.”

[شرح الكافية الشافية 4/473]

Not everyone who laughs in your face loves you. Not everyone you sit with is your friend. Not everyone to whom you reveal a secret will safeguard it. Not everyone who claims friendship is loyal. Not everyone who claims friendship is truthful. Not everyone who claims loyalty is loyal. Not everyone who claims outward uprightness, is so, inwardly. For treachery runs deep in blood, and disloyalty (and deceitfulness) is an inheritance, just as loyalty is an inheritance.

In the heart are disorders that cannot be remedied except by responding to ALLĀH. In it is a desolate feeling that cannot be removed except by intimacy with HIM solitude. In it is sadness which will not leave except by happiness with knowing HIM and truthfulness in his dealings. In it is anxiety that is not made tranquil except by gathering for HIS sake and fleeing to HIM from HIS punishment. In it is a fire of regret which cannot be extinguished except by satisfaction with HIS commands, prohibitions, and decrees, and embracing patience with that until the time he meets HIM. In it is a strong desire that will not cease until HE is the only one who is sought. In it is a void that cannot be filled except by HIS love, turning to HIM, always remembering HIM, and being sincere to HIM. Were a person to be given the entire world and everything in it, that would never fill the void.

The sacred month of Dhul-Qa'dah ذو القعدة is here.

Let's take a moment to learn about this month together.

Dhul Qa'dah/Qi'dah is one of the four sacred months in the Islamic calendar (Dhul Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab being the other three). These months were also deemed to be sacred in the times of Jahiliyyah.

A reason why these months were chosen was to protect pilgrims traveling to Makkah and back for Hajj and Umrah.

Remember, in those days, it took weeks to travel to other countries so many departed in Dhul Qa'dah.

Dhul Hijjah is the actual month of Hajj. Pilgrims would head home afterwards or in the following month, Muharram. Rajab is in the middle of the year in which many people went to perform Umrah.

Dhul-Qa'dah ذو القعدة was given its name due to bandits sitting (قعود) on the roadways waiting to attack and kill pilgrims heading towards Makkah.

As a result, killings, fighting, wars and expeditions became prohibited during these months.

Also, the severity of performing sins during these months are magnified.

If a person's sin is rooted in desire, there is hope for him, but, if rooted in pride, then fear for him, because Adam disobeyed out of desire and was forgiven, while Iblis disobeyed out of pride and was cursed.

Imam Sufyan Ibn Uyaynah Siyar A'lam An-Nubula 8/462

Abū Bakr al-Mālikī said in al-Riyād (2/186), quoting Ibn Nasr al-Faqīh:

“I married a woman who had memorized the Book of Allah, memorized the Muwattaʾ, and was devoted to worship. Yet, despite all of this, I never experienced with her even three consecutive days of happiness.” She had gathered great virtues, but she neglected the rights of her husband.

Ash-Shaf (رحمه اللّه) was asked:

"What are the most humiliating traits in a man?"

He replied:

"Excessive speech, spreading secrets, and trusting everyone."

AI-Intiqa: 159

“Not everyone who claims Salafiyyah is truly Salafi. For indeed, there are people who have claimed it while being ignorant, not knowing the methodology of the Salaf.

And there are people who have claimed it while being corrupters, adopting the methodology of the Khawarij in shedding blood and spreading corruption in the land.

And there are people who have claimed it while being pseudo-scholars, who did not take knowledge from the scholars, but rather took it from books and personal reading.”

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan حفظه الله | Haqiqat al-Manhaj as-Salafi (65)

Jitne Siyasaat Ki Baat Karne Waale Hote Hai, Wo Ibadaat Ko Halka Banakar Pesh Karte Hai.

- Shaykh Abu Zaid Zameer | Islaami Mu'ashre Ki Sifaat

Saare Musibaton Ki Jad Jahaalat Hai, 'Ilm (Nafa wala) aajaye toh zindagi me Khayr aasakati hai.
