I would love for people to talk about me, gossip about me and slander me. What is better than getting deeds you never expected when you are standing before Allāh? Your own mum would not give you those deeds.
Shaykh Muhammad bin Sālih Al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله stated: "
The wife becomes a coolness to the eyes of her husband and the husband becomes a coolness to the eyes of his wife when they both establish that which is obligatory upon them in the Dīn of Allāh."
“Whoever takes care of his time by doing Dhikr (remembrance) of Allaah, reciting the Qur’aan, accompanying the good people, and distancing himself from the ignorant and bad company will purify and soften his heart.”
The ignorant Riff Raff scholars who mock the religion with their ignorance, they are guaranteed to be humiliated by Allah (whether we see it or not)!
One time there was a man by the name Ar Raazi (not the famous great scholar Abu Bakr Ar Raazi that we know of. If you asked this man any question he would claim to know the answer, and he would give you the answer on the spot doesn’t matter what. Any question you have, he had an answer for it.
One time a group of people came to him and asked him, “Can we shorten the Maghrib prayer whilst travelling?” He replied in the affirmative (but it cannot be, the Maghrib prayer and morning (Fajr) prayer can never be shorted even whilst travelling). The group asked Ar-Raazi for proof and he said, it’s an authentic Hadith narrated by Jaabir in As Samraqandi (a scholar), he has a book called Al-Firdaous, in that book this hadith is mentioned.
They went to the book of As-Samraqandi, which is correct, he has a book called Al-Firdaous which is only one volume. They looked for the Hadith inside it but were unable to find it (there is no such Hadith there).
They went back to Ar-Raazi and informed him that they went to the book and looked for the Hadith but could not find anything, the Hadith is not mentioned there.
Ar-Raazi replied, may Allah have mercy on you, Al-Firdaous is not only one volume rather is a three volume book, one small, one medium and one large size, the great big one never entered into this town!
What a joke. What a liar. See how the deceivers seek to deceive. They give Fatwa without possessing any knowledge with intent to mislead and to save themselves from embarrassment they lie. Such are the ignorants who claim to be from those whom Allah has bestowed his knowledge upon, they dress like them seeking fame, respect and wealth, but they do exactly the opposite of what scholars do - they sold their religion for a worldly benefit - they interpret the text in a way that is not intended by Allah and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Allah said (Interpretation of the meaning): Only those who have knowledge, from among his servants, truly fear Allah. They don’t fear Allah, they have no knowledge, so they invent matters into this deen which is not from it! The true scholars do not care of what people think of them for they only seek to please Allah alone, every step they take, every breath they breathe they do so seeking the face of Allah and they know the lofty position they hold has high consequences too, they humble themselves, as the well known proverb goes, “I don’t know is half of knowledge”.
These so called Riff Raff Mashaykh only follow rules based off their own whims and inclinations, selling a washed out version of this deen to please the people. For them is prepared a painful torment.
Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said: “The perfection of man is based on these two abilities: Knowledge and love. And the best knowledge is the knowledge about Allah, and the highest love is the love for His Sake.”

One reason why I don’t take social media serious at all is we get the ‘reminders’ everyday, we read the Qur’an and we come across ahadith. The problem is us ‘not doing’. You can read a 100 books but if you’re not putting that knowledge to use, it’s practically useless. It’s not like knowledge is rare. With a few clicks, you can get the whole Qur’an and the tafsir on your screen, you can get all the ahadith and other works but we don’t make it practical by living what we’re reading. That is the scary thing about social media. Being warned but not heeding to it.
"Indeed, those who came before you (i.e. the Salaf) saw the Qur'ān as personal letters from their Lord. Therefore, they would ponder over it by night, and implement it by day."

“And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him, He will send you (from the sky) abundant rain, and add strength to your strength, so do not turn away as Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah).” [Quran 11:52]
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from where he expects not." [Abu Dawud]
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I ask Allaah for forgiveness one hundred times a day.”
[Muslim 2702].
With regard to the times for dhikr and the number of times it should be repeated, the believer should remember Allah at all times and in all situations.
Allah says: “Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides.” [Quran 3:191]
The doors of repentance are always open therefore don’t delay your repentance in a hope of tomorrow, as tomorrow is uncertain, Repent now and make it a habit to ask Allah’s forgiveness by reciting “Astaghfirullah”.
