Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan advises that if someone denies the existence of any Lord, then the caller to Islam should not waste time trying to convince them. Such people are atheists, and it is better to leave them rather than be overly ambitious in calling them.

Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali explains that a specific commendation is not required to teach or translate Islamic knowledge. If a person understands and conveys correctly, he is rewarded. However, if he teaches incorrectly, he should be advised, and his mistakes should not be accepted.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali states that collecting donations after Friday prayer to cover mosque rent and expenses is permissible and virtuous, provided the collectors are trustworthy, spend funds as promised, and there is no objection from authorities. It is a form of helping in righteousness.
Miscellaneous
Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’ advises that calling Christians to Islam should be done with the Qur’an and Sunnah, not by using the Bible. The Prophet ﷺ used the Qur’an when addressing non-Muslims, and relying on other scriptures may lead to error or rejecting truth.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali warns that chat programs like Skype and Kik save conversations and can be accessed by the service provider. Even if pictures aren’t saved locally, the company may store files and recordings. Avoid using them for private matters.

When the people of Ta’if mocked and stoned the Prophet ﷺ, Angel Jibrīl offered to crush them. The Prophet ﷺ chose patience instead, hoping Allah ﷻ would guide their descendants to pure Tawḥīd. His mercy and perseverance became a powerful example.

If a suitor has good religion and character, he should not be rejected due to tribal or social status. The Prophet ﷺ made no such condition. If the guardian blocks a suitable marriage, the woman may complain to a judge, and the guardian may lose his authority.
Current Affairs
If the sister is a practicing Muslim, her guardian becomes the Muslim ruler or court judge. In non-Muslim countries, the head of the Islamic centre can act as her wali to marry her off, if she agrees.
The Hereafter and Unseen
Shaykh al-Uthaymin explains that Paradise contains whatever the soul desires. If a believing woman enters Paradise but her husband does not, she may marry someone from Paradise or from the hūr al-ʿayn, as Allah ﷻ grants what the hearts wish for.
Islamic Creed
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that the spread of daʿwah comes through sincere intention. Check your motive—if you seek Allah’s ﷻ pleasure, not praise or fame, then your daʿwah is on the right path.
Islamic Creed
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali explains that after death, a person benefits from ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge they left behind, and righteous children who pray for them. Even the supplications of companions continue to help them.
Faith and its Pillars
Shaykh Muhammad al-Jami explains that Allah’s ﷻ power is absolute, but questions like whether He can make a partner for Himself are absurd. Such ideas do not suit Allah’s ﷻ greatness, so the premise itself is rejected.
