Christianity
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.
Media and Society
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.
Repentance, Patience and Steadfastness
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.
Marriage
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.
Marriage
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.
Death, Grave and Hereafter
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.
Sincerity and Righteous Deeds
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.
Death, Grave and Hereafter
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.
Foundations of Faith
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.
Death, Grave and Hereafter
Shaykh Muhammad al-Jami explains that true tawḥīd is worshiping Allah ﷻ sincerely without shirk or innovations. The key is to remain steadfast until death, because a person’s final state determines their true fate.
Foundations of Faith
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that during the time of the Prophet ﷺ people used to say, “Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ know best.” After the Prophet ﷺ passed away, this phrase is no longer used. Instead, when someone does not know something—whether it is about religion or worldly matters—they should simply say, “Allah ﷻ knows best.”
Character and Manners
Shaykh Ibn Baz explains that forgiving those who have harmed you is a noble act and brings great reward from Allah ﷻ. If someone has wronged you through insults, backbiting, or any harm, forgiving them without asking for anything in return is closer to righteousness. The Prophet ﷺ said that forgiveness increases a person’s honor. It is also recommended to inform them of your forgiveness, but even if you don’t, your reward is still with Allah ﷻ.
