💎 “With the Dhikr of Allah the hearts of the believers become tranquil, their souls become calm, their certainty magnifies, and their Iman (faith) increases. The Dhikr of Allah is the symbol of happiness and the path to success in this world and the hereafter; rather all good, happiness, delight, pleasure, and tranquility in this world and the next is dependent on the performance of the Dhikr of Allah.” [Abdur-Razzaq Al-Badr, The Benefits And Fruits Of Dhkir pg. 14-15]

❌ The Impermissibility Of Horoscopes - Even As A Joke Or Just For Fun

📹 Click HERE for the full commentary by Sheikh Aziz bin Farhan حَفِظَهُ ٱلله

📖 Safiyya reported from some of the wives of Allah's Messenger ﷺ that he said: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about anything, his prayer will not be accepted for forty nights.” [Muslim 2230]

📖 Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes him in what he says...has disbelieved in what Allah has revealed to Muhammad.” [Abi Dawud 3904, Graded Sahih by Al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud 3904]

⚠️ “Whoever reads the page which contains horoscopes, and he knows the horoscope of when he was born, or he knows that horoscope which is significant for him, and he reads the comments mentioned in that horoscope then it is as if he has asked a soothsayer/fortune-teller, so his prayer would not be accepted for 40 days. If he attests to it and believes in that horoscope then he has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad ﷺ.” [Salih Al ash-Sheikh, Explanation of Kitab At-Tawheed pg. 349]

‼️ Many Muslims have unknowingly fallen into this sin and other forms of fortune-telling such as palm reading, tarot cards, etc

❌ The Impermissibility Of Congratulating The Disbelievers On Their Holidays

🎙 Speaker: Sheikh Saleh Alfawzan حَفِظَهُ ٱلله

‼️ “Greeting non-Muslims at the time of their religious celebrations saying: “Have a jolly day” or “Congratulations on this day” is impermissible. If extending these greetings is not kufr (disbelief), then at the least, it is prohibited. This is worse than congratulating a non-Muslim for consuming alcohol, or having unlawful sex; rather, it is like congratulating him for prostrating to the cross, yet many Muslims who have weak faith do so without understanding how repugnant this action really is.” [Ibn Al-Qayyim, Ahkam Ahl Al-Dhimmah vol 1 pg. 441]

🚫 Avoid phrases such as “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays”, and be careful not to express approval through other ways such as giving/accepting gifts or attending gatherings

💡 Some Muslims have fallen into this trap, and when they're made aware of it, they say “I'm just being nice” - there's nothing nice about encouraging someone in falsehood; rather, you're aiding the devil against them in committing shirk (associating partners with Allah), which is the worst of all sins that will admit them to the Hellfire for the rest of eternity (if they die upon that)

📖 Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah

✍️ By Sheikh Abdur-Rahman As-Sa'di رَحِمَهُ ٱلله

💡 “From the most noble and lofty stations of cognisance is to know the Lord, the Glorious, through His beauty. This is the knowledge possessed by the elite of this creation. All of them know Him through an Attribute from amongst His Attributes but those amongst them who have the most complete cognisance are those who know Him through His perfection, magnificence and beauty.”

💎 The Importance Of Good Character

💡 Sheikh Abdur-Razzaq Al-Badr حَفِظَهُ ٱلله discusses two ways to attain good character HERE and describes noble manners HERE

📖 Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: “Treat women nicely, for women were created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely.” [Bukhari 3331]

💡 Maintaining A Healthy Relationship With Food - How To Stop Overeating

📖 Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib said that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: “No human being fills a vessel worse than his stomach. A few morsels are enough for the son of Adam to keep him upright. If he must eat more, then one-third for his food, one-third for his drink, and one-third for his breath.” [Tirmidhi 2380, Graded Sahih by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Tirmidhi 2380]

✅ “The comfort of the body is in eating little food, and the comfort of the soul is in having little sins, and the comfort of the tongue is speaking a little.” [Ibn Al-Qayyim, Zad Al-Ma’ad 4/186]
