Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him:
"Gratitude from the general public pertains to being thankful for things like: food, drink, clothing, and the sustenance of their bodies. Gratitude from the close servants of Allaah, however, involves appreciation for things such as: monotheism, faith, and the sustenance of their hearts."

Do you owe missed Ramadhan fasts?
You have one whole year to make up any missed fasts from the previous Ramadhan; ample time! But when Sha’bān kicks in, the urgency to make them up reaches its peak.
Sheikh ’Abdulkhāliq Al-’Imād said:
“Whoever owes a fast from Ramadhan and has not made it up, let them hasten to make up for it.
If they only have as many missed days left for Ramadhan, they must fast the missed days immediately and it is not permissible for them to delay them.
As for the ḥadīth:
((إذا انتصف شعبان فلا تصوموا))
“When it is the middle of Sha’ban, then do not fast,” this is a weak ḥadīth.”

Barakah lies in simplicity
(( أَعْظَمُ النِّساءِ بَرَكَةً أَيْسَرُهُنَّ مؤْنَةً))
“The women who have the most blessings are those who are the easiest to look after.”
[Collected by Ahmad in his 'Musnad' (no. 25120), an-Nasaai'ee in "As-sunan al-Kubra" (no. 9274) from the hadeeth of 'Aishah, radiyAllāhu'anha].
For this reason it is necessary upon the woman, her father and mother to make their goal with regards to marriage to make things easy and not difficult, to keep things humble and simple.

A Story Of A Porn Addict
“My brothers and sisters, I started watching porn at the age of 12. It was introduced to me by a relative. They showed me porn when I was 12 years old. Since then, I would smuggle it from their room and would watch it alone. For a good 5 years my love for porn continued to increase. I went and registered my name to a movie seller, who used to bring the latest porn in the market. At one go, I would buy 12 DVDs and I would watch from morning to night, nonstop. Slowly, I started to masturbate as early as 18. And I was already exposed to bad women. By the age of 20, I already had my first sex with a prostitute. I wasn't lucky, I caught STD. And I was under isolation for a long time before I fully recovered. I almost lost my penis. Even after my recovery, I continued to watch porn. Slowly I began to experience the following:
▪️My eyesight started to deteriorate. My vision became very weak. At the age of 22, I had to wear glasses. And a times my eyes kept releasing milky liquid-like tears.
▪️I used to memorize the Quran. In fact I memorized more than half of it. But within no time, I lost everything.
▪️My memory started to decrease. I used to be bright and intelligent in class, but I became stupid. My thoughts were crazy and corrupted
▪️At the age of 26 - 28 my mental health was touched. Because I became unintelligent like a baby. Simply instruction I could not understand.
▪️I got married by 30 years. Even after marriage, with my wife, but I still watch porn and masturbated. Slowly I started to lose my manhood. My penis can’t stand for good 2 mins.
▪️I lost my Imaan. I did not have any fear of Allah. I used to miss my salah. I became very prone to violence and crimes. Sin became normal. I lost everything.
▪️My wife left me. She said I m mentally unstable. That's true. Because I used to hallucinate sometimes. It is a sign of a mental disorder.
▪️I’m still addicted. I repented a million times, but after 1 month or so, I returned back to my porn addiction.
▪️I’m sharing my story with you the Muslims because I don’t want you to fall victims like me. I’m regretting every second of my life. And I will never forgive my relative who introduced me to pornography.
If you are already watching porn, then stop, else, you cannot reverse the damage it will do to you. if you have not started watching, then don’t try. It is more addictive than cocaine and Heroin. I quit smoking and drugs easily, but I still can't quit porn. if you are a Muslim and you believe in Allah, please pray for me, may Allah change me to a better person. May Allah cleanse my soul.
As I’m crying writing this, I hope you will look at my condition and take a lesson;
السَّعِيدُ مَنِ اتَّعَظَ بِغِيْرِهِ
Prosperous is he who learns from other people's mistakes
May Allāh forgive us, protect us, our offspring, the Ummah & humanity at large from this disease. Ameen.”

CONCLUSION:
It is not permissible for women to intentionally gaze at the opposite gender, even without lust.
Due to the following:
1⃣. Allāh’s statement:
﴿وَإِذَا سَأَلۡتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَـٰعࣰا فَسۡـَٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَاۤءِ حِجَابࣲۚ ذَ ٰلِكُمۡ أَطۡهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمۡ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ﴾
“When you ask his wives for something, do so from behind a screen: this is purer both for your hearts and for theirs.” [Sūrah Al-Aḥzāb: 53]
• This Āyah shows that the sickness of the heart effects both men and women
• Thus, prevention is better than cure.
2⃣. The evidences which command with lowering the gaze are general and are applicable to both men and women. For example, after commanding men to lower their gaze, Allāh continues to say:
﴿وَقُل لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ یَغۡضُضۡنَ مِنۡ أَبۡصَـٰرِهِنَّ وَیَحۡفَظۡنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ﴾
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity.” [Sūrah An-Nūr: 31]
3⃣. If we apply the evidences to prohibit men from gazing at women in the general sense, without limiting this to lustful gazes, then the same has to be said in the case of women.
4⃣. This condition of lust has not been mentioned in the evidences, nor was this known from the practice of the Salaf. It is mere ijtihad from some of the scholars. So how can this be used as conclusive evidence?!
5⃣. The evidences cited by the other side are not explicit in supporting their view, rather they have to be interpreted as such. And these same evidences can be interpreted otherwise.
6⃣. The evidences which command with lowering the gaze are definitive/conclusive, whereas the evidences used to allow them to gaze at the opposite gender are inconclusive.
7⃣. The Fitnah in this era is far worse that it has ever been, and so the principle of سد الذرائع (blocking the pathways to evil) is more applicable!
8⃣. Fitnah commonly arises from gazing, even if the initial gaze was not accompanied by lust.
9⃣. Shaytan flows in the children of Adam without discriminating between male and female
🔟. Women have a stronger sexual drive, so it's more incumbent upon them to lower their gaze.
....
Read the book for more.
FINAL ADVICE:
O Salafi sister, your thirst for knowledge should not be quenched by watching videos of ustadhs online, for indeed your shyness will diminish, slowly but surely, by gazing at the opposite gender.
