Benefit from the Book of Allah
Allah says:
يخلقكم في بُطُون أمهاتكم خلقا بعد خلق في ظلمات ثلاث
He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness
Imam As Saadi said
Meaning: Stage after stage, and you are in a condition which no hand of a created one touches you, and no eye is looking at you, whilst he has nurtured you in that tight place.
(Three veils of darkness)
Darkness of the stomach, then darkness of the womb, then darkness of the placenta.

And in the end, we advise with having Taqwa of Allah | Sh. Abdullah Iryaani
Shaikh Abdullah Ibn Ahmad al-Iryaani hafidhuhallah said:
“And in the end, we advise with having Taqwa of Allah, the Exalted, seriousness and striving in the obedience of Allah, worship, obtaining understanding of the religion, holding fast to reading, and reciting the Noble Qur’an.
Beware of four matters:
First: Beware of heedlessness, for the month of Ramadan is not a month of amusement, games, staying up at night and following Television series, and competitions. Rather it is a month of obedience and hastening to the pleasure of the Lord of the creation.
Second: Beware of being preoccupied with a large diversity and variety of food from striving in standing for prayer and increasing in the recitation of the Quran. For Ramadan is not a month to make ‘Itikaaf in the kitchen, busying with travelling, and wedding banquets. Rather, it is a month for the Muslim male and female to reach the level of one fasting and praying.
Third: Beware of being negligent at the end of Ramadan from continuing to recite the Quran, striving in supplication, and silent supplication to Allah. For verily actions depend on the end. For many people, unfortunately, are preoccupied from Layltul-Qadr and its blessing with Eid clothing, going from market to market, and exhibition to exhibition. The guidance of the Prophet is doing ‘Itikaaf in the last ten nights of Ramadan and seeking Layltul Qadr in it.
Fourth: Beware of procrastination. For how many people are in heedlessness, so when month of Ramadan ends they feel remorse and loss. Then he makes contracts, promises, and covenants that if Allah allows him to reach the next Ramadan that he will strive in Ramadan and make time for Ramadan from the beginning. When that promised Ramadan comes to him, he is in that same heedlessness and negligence. Like this, in Allah aid is sought, he is consistent in procrastination every year.
So you Oh Abdullah, and you Amatullah, have made many promises that you have broken, many contracts you have nullified, is it not now that you should be truthful with Allah? Is it not now that you should fulfill your covenant with Allah? Then this is Ramadan that you have reached so there is nothing upon you except to be truthful to Allah and seek His assistance in righteous actions”.

From the dispraise worthy words which are used in the customs | Imam Nawawi
Imam An Nawawi mentions in Al Athkaar
“From the dispraise worthy words which are used in the customs is his statement to the one he is arguing with:
Oh Donkey, Oh Billy Goat, Oh Dog, and similar to that.
This is repulsive from two angles
One that it is a lie
And the other that it is causing harm

Returning to something which was left for the sake of Allah |Sh. Uthaymeen
Imam Al Uthaymeen said in explanation of Riyadus Saliheen page 58
“Similarly everything the person leaves for the sake of Allah, it’s not befitting that he returns in regards to it, and it preceded us in the explanation of the hadeeth that from that is what some people do, where as they free themselves from the TV once they see from its harms and corruptions which increase upon its benefits, they left it for the sake of Allah and broke it, then they come and ask: Should we bring it back a second time? We say don’t bring it back another time so as long as you have freed yourself from it seeking the face of Allah thus don’t return in regards to that which you have left for Allah”

Ruling on Breaking the Fast as Soon as the Sun Sunsets and not Waiting for the Adhaan – Shaikh Rab’i Ibn Haadi al-Madkhali
Question: Some Youth break their fast solely on the setting of the disk of the sun and they do not wait to hear the Adhaan. They find in the masjid debate and dispute with the elders [due to this issue]. So what is your advice?
Answer: “This occurs in the Haram, otherwise where else. As for those who break their fast solely on the setting of the sun, then this one achieved the Sunnah. The one who delays the iftar falls into the opposition of the Sunnah. However, if this leads to corruption, trial, differing and problems, then hold back, Oh fasting ones, and enlighten the people and spread the Sunnah between them.
The Ahaadith are clear. The Messenger sallahu alayhi w salam was on a journey. He said to his servant: Dismount and mix water with saweeq (barely) for us. So the servant said: It is still daytime. So the Messenger sallahu alayhi wa salam said: Dismount and mix it for us. So the servant said: It is still daytime. So the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam said: Mix it for us. So he dismounted and mixed the water with the saweeq.
[Reported by Al-Bukhari no. 1956]
The point is that this nation will continue to be upon good as long as they hasten the iftar and delay the suhoor. So it is legislated for this nation and its from its distinguishing characteristics and the difference between it and the Jews and Christians. They (the Muslims) hasten the iftar and delay the suhoor. So this is the Sunnah and it is necessary for it to be spread”.

The fitnah of women | Sh. Uthaymeen
When should the latecomer rise up to finish the salat | Sh. Uthaymeen
Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen rahimahullah was asked:
Question: Some people who come late to the prayer in congregation, stand to complete what they missed after the tasleem of the Imam. That is after the first tasleem only and before he begins the second Tasleem. They are hasty in that before the Imam finishes the second Tasleem. So what it the ruling on that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: “The ruling on this is that it is legislated not to stand until the Imam gives the second tasleem. This is because the prayer of the Imam is not completed except with the second Tasleem and he is a follower behind him. So he does not separate until their [the congregation] prayer ends. Some of the Scholars said that if the one behind the Imam stands to complete what he missed after the first Tasleem and before the second tasleem, then his prayer changes to a voluntary prayer. That is: his prayer is not counted as obligatory. So it is obligatory for the one behind the Imam to wait until both tasleems of the Imam [are completed], then stand”.[http://binothaimeen.net/content/11165]
Similarly, Shaikh Bin Baz rahimahullah was asked:
Question: If a man comes during the prayer and missed some of it. After the Imam ends the prayer, the latecomer stands to complete the reminder of the prayer, however he stands hastily before the Imam makes the second tasleem. Rather he stands after the first tasleem. This is something repeated by some of the people, may Allah guide them, so what is the ruling regarding that?
Answer: “If a man stands to complete what he missed of the prayer before the second Tasleem of the Imam, then he is mistaken because what is correct is the second tasleem is necessary. The majority of the People of Knowledge took the opinion that one tasleem is sufficient. However, the authentic Ahaadith indicate that it is necessary [to wait] for the second tasleem. So if he stands before the second tasleem, then he has left off an obligatory affair, which is sitting until the Imam makes tasleem. What is necessary is for him to repeat the prayer in order to exit the difference of opinion and protect his religion. This is because when he stood he invalidated the prayer because he stood before Imam completed the prayer. The latecomer should not stand until the Imam makes tasleem. Similar to what the Prophet (ﷺ) did when Abdur-rahman ibn Awf led the prayer with him in the battle of Tabook. When Abdurrahman made tasleem, he (ﷺ) stood up to make up what he missed. So making up is after the tasleem of the Imam and this is by way of cautiousness” [http://www.binbaz.org.sa/noor/7080]
So although the majority are of the opinion that one can stand after the first tasleem, it is better to wait for the second and then stand.
And Allah Knows Best
