‘Once the Shaykh (Ibn Uthaymeen) was standing by the masjid with some of his students who were asking him questions and were engaged in a discussion over some religious issues. Just then, an expensive luxury car pulled up and the driver got out and handed the Shaykh the keys [to the car], saying, “This car is a gift from such-and-such.” The Shaykh declined, but the driver persisted until the Shaykh took the keys. The driver then got into another car and drove off.
The Shaykh continued with his students while flipping the [car] keys in his hand and ([throughout] he did not turn to look at the [gifted] car. All of a sudden, a youth approached the Shaykh to convey his greetings to him, saying: “O Shaykh, it is my wedding this evening so I hope you can attend.” But the Shaykh excused himself since he was already engaged in other issues [that evening]. However, the youth insisted the Shaykh attend, so the Shaykh politely explained that his [prior] engagements did not permit him, saying:
“Take these keys to this car, as it is a present from me to you.”
The youth took the car and went, and the Shaykh turned [to the students] and continued with the discussion as if nothing ever happened!’

We did not appear in this worldly life to live in it like grazing animals | Sh. Uthaymeen
Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ said:
“We did not appear in this worldly life to live in it like grazing animals and merely eat, drink and sleep. Rather, we came to this dunyā (the worldly life) in order to prepare provisions for the hereafter.”

◾️قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية :-
⬅️ التوحيد أصل الإيمان
وهو الكلام الفارق بين أهل الجنة وأهل النار
وهو ثمن الجنة ولا يصح إسلام أحد إلا به.
Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
Tawheed is the origin of eeman and is the differentiating speech between the people of Jannah and the people of the hell, and is the price of Jannah and there is no correct Islam for one, except with it.

Imam Yahya Ibn Muadh | The sickness of the body is through pains
📌 *A Lesson :*
Imaam Yahya bin Mu’aadh
•- May Allaah have mercy upon him- said : –
•- ” The sickness of the body is through pains,
Whereas the sickness of the heart is through sins.
So just as the body doesn’t find enjoyment in food while it’s sick,
The same way the heart doesn’t find the sweetness of worship with sins”.

There is no (true) comfort for man | Imam Ibn Qayyim
🌟The Gardens of `Ibaadah (Worship) and Adhkaar (remembrance):
🎓Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
❝There is no (true) comfort for man, or enjoyment, or pleasure (or satisfaction), or perfection except through knowing Allaah تعالى and loving Him (as such), and when feeling calm and tranquil while making His Dhikr (remembrance), and when finding joy and pleasure in trying to get nearer to Him (through obedience and worship), and yearning to meet Him. This is the Jannah (Paradise) of this worldly life. Like how there is no comfort for him in the Hereafter nor success except by being in His (Allaah’s) company, in the House of Delight, in the Jannah of the next life. For a man there are two Jannah, he will not be able to enter the second one if he does not enter the first one. I heard Shaikh al-Isaam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله saying: ❝There is a Jannah in this world, whoever does not enter it will not be able to enter the Jannah of the Hereafter.❞❞

*It’s been reported that Imam Ashafi’i rahimuhullah said:*
“Oh Abu Musa, were you to strive your utmost to please everybody, then there is no way to achieve that. So if that is the case, then make your action and intention sincere for the sake of Allaah Azawajel.

The categories of those who follow the leaders of disbelief and misguidance | Sh. Uthaymeen
📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜
*The categories of those who follow the leaders of disbelief and misguidance*
_By Shaykh Al Uthaymeen رحمه الله_:
🔘The first category:
Those who are ignorant of the truth, do not know anything in regards to it, negligence didn’t occur from them in seeking it, while they thought that which they were upon is the truth, then (this category) are excused (with ignorance).
🔘The second category:
Those whom know the truth, but they rejected it out of fanaticism to their leaders, then (this category) are not excused (with ignorance).
They are like the ones Allah said in regards to them:
إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ
“We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we guide ourselves by their footsteps.”
