‏قال معالي الشيخ د. صالح الفوزان حفظه الله :

‏تَمَسَك بالسُّنة في أي مكان من الأرض ولا تنظر لإرضاء الناس أو مداراة الناس، تمسك بالسنة في اللحية وفي غيرها ولا تتنازل عن شيء من دينك لأجل إرضاء الناس

Sheikh salihul fawzan may Allah preserve him said:

Hold firmly to the Sunnah anywhere you are in the world, and do not look to please the people or to display flattery and deceit (for the sake of ‘friendliness’). Hold firmly to the sunnah with regards to the beard and other than it, and do not not forgo anything from your deen for the sake of pleasing the people.

*They Knew The Reason For Their Punishment*

It was said to Abū Sulaimān al-Daaraanee رحمه الله: “Why is it that the intelligent ones have ceased to blame those who had offended them?

He said: “They knew that it was Allāh who had put them to trials because of their sins.”

🔳قال الإمام ابن القيم رحمه الله

⬅️ حب العلم وطلبه أصل كل طاعة

👈وحب الدنيا ، والمال وطلبه أصل كل سيئة

Imam Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:

The love of knowledge and seeking it is the orgin of all obedience. The love of the worldly-life, wealth and seeking it is the origin of all shortcoming.

Abu Eesa Yunus

*Directing One’s Complaints to Allah*

Imam Ibn al-Jawzi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:

“Surely the Salaf used to dislike complaining to the creation. Complaining, even though there is comfort in it, indicates weakness and humiliation. Patience from it is evidence of strength and honor” [at-Thabaat ‘indal-Mamaat (1/55)]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Verily complaints should be directed towards Allah, the Exalted as the pious servant [Ya’qub] said: “I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah [12:86]” [Minhaaj us-Sunnah (4/244)]

*Is Complaining to Others Haram?*

Shaikhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “If he complains to others due to what is in complaining of comfort, just as one afflicted with a calamity complains about his calamity to the people without intending to know what will benefit him nor seeking aid in disobedience, then this decreases his patience. However, it is not absolutely sinful except if it is accompanied with that which is unlawful, like one who is afflicted and is discontent [with the calamity]” [Majmoo’ al-Fatawa (14/463)]
