‘Umar ibn ‘Abdul ‘Azîz (rahimahullâh) used to say, "None can reach the station of taqwâ until he possesses neither action nor words that can be exposed to his embarrassment either in this world or the Hereafter." He was once asked, "When does the worshipper reach the peak of taqwâ? He replied, "If he put all his thoughts and desires in his heart on a plate and then wandered around in the market, he should not feel ashamed of anything there." He would frequently say, "The sign of the muttaqî (pious person who fears Allah swt much) is to bridle oneself from speaking just like one in ihrâm bridles himself from speaking. The muttaqî need to be a scholar of the Sharî‘ah, all of it, otherwise he leaves taqwâ without realising."

Four Types of People
Hadith - At-Tirmidhi 5287, Narrated Abu Kabshah al-Anmari
The world has only four types of people:
A man whom Allah provides with property and knowledge, in which he fears his Lord and joins ties of relationship, acting in it towards Allah as is due to Him, this man being in the most excellent station.
A man whom Allah provides with knowledge but not with property, who says with a sincere intention that if he had property he would act as so and so does, their reward being equal.
A man whom Allah provides with property but not with knowledge, in which he acts in a random manner ignorantly, not fearing his Lord respecting it, or using it to join ties of relationship, or dealing with it in a right way, this man being in the worst station.
A man whom Allah provides with neither property nor knowledge, who says that if he had property he would deal with it as so and so does and has this intention, the load they have to bear being equal."Originally posted by FirdousiNever talk with Afghans about politics.

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said: "Sins generate more sins, and one sin leads to another, until they overpower a man and he finds it difficult to repent from them. As one of the earlier generation said: 'One of the punishments of bad deeds is more bad deeds, and one of the rewards of good deeds is more good deeds.'"

It is recommended to fast the six days of Shawwaal after the obligatory fast of Ramadaan, and in this there is great virtue and an immense reward. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime."

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Whenever a girl is born, Allah sends Angels to the house who call out: 'O people of this household! As-salaamu 'Alaykum (Peace be upon you).' The Angels then embrace the child and take her into the shelter of their wings, and whilst stroking her head, they say: 'This is a frail being, born from a frail being. Whoever takes care of her, Allah will assist him right up to the Day of Judgement.'" (Majma-Azawaid)Originally posted by FirdousiNever talk with Afghans about politics.

"He (Allah) grants daughters to whomsoever He wills, and He grants sons to whomsoever He wills." (42:49)
Waathilah ibn al-asqa' (رضي الله عنه) said: "Most fortunate and blessed is she who gives birth to a daughter before a son.

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) refrained from offering the funeral prayer for a person who had died owing two dinars until Abu Qataadah (ra) promised to pay it off for him. When he saw him the following day and said, "I have paid it off," the Prophet said: "Now his skin has become cool for him." (Ahmad) This hadeeth indicates how difficult the issue of debt is, and that it should not be undertaken except in cases of necessity. Fath al-Baari)
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man was killed in battle for the sake of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed and brought back to life again, then killed, and he owed a debt, he would not enter Paradise until his debt was paid off." (Nasaa'i)
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to say in his prayer: "Allaahumma inni a'oodhu bika min al-ma'tham wal-maghram (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sin and heavy debt)."

O you who believe! Be conscious of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from ribaa (from now onward) if you are (true) believers. But if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger..." (2:278-279)
Ibn 'Abbaas (رضي الله عنهما) said: "On the Day of Judgment, it will be said to the one who consumed ribaa 'Choose your weapon and (prepare) for war!'" He then recited: "Those who devour ribaa (interest/usury) will not stand (on the Day of Judgement) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaytaan (Satan) leading him to insanity." [2:275].
