وترى الكريم إذا تصرم وصله * يخفي القبيح ويظهر الإحسانا
وترى اللئيم إذا تقضى وصله * يخفي الجميل ويظهر البهتانا.
You will find the noble, when the bond is cut,
conceals what is blameworthy and displays kindness.
But the ignoble, when the bond is ended,
hides the good and displays slander.
[Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm Ad-Dīn, 2/195]

Safeguarding Secrets
Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi ḥafidhahullāh writes:
Remember, my brother in faith, that one who entrusts you with his secrets is a brother who loves you and has placed his confidence in you. Therefore, be worthy of his trust and protect his secrets just as you would protect any trust—material or otherwise.
Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ…
I discussed this matter in my book Al-Wasāʾil Al-Jaliyyah li-Naṣrat Ad-Daʿwah As-Salafiyyah, and I cited it again at the end of my book Fatḥ Al-ʿAlīm*, the commentary on Imam Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Al-Wahh
So, praise be to Allāh, we say to every innovator, every Hibzi, and every mumayyi' in the religion of Allāh: Die in your rage! For Ahlus-Sunnah wa’l-Jamāʿah—in Yemen and beyond—are upon a pure call, a sound path, and a straight course. We do not claim infallibility for ourselves; we are right at times and wrong at times; we know some things and remain ignorant of others. But our Lord knows that our intention is the…
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh responds:
"Fear Allāh, O ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz Al-Burʿī! Fear Allāh before you stand before Him as a liar! Before you stand before Him as a swindler! Before you stand before Him as one who deceives! He claims that we have no scholar except Yaḥyā Al-Ḥajūrī.
Exalted is Allāh!
Do we not praise Shaykh Al-Fawzān? Do we not praise Shaykh Al-ʿAbbād? Do we not praise Shaykh Ash-Shithrī?…
Question: Is it permissible for a soldier who has been surrounded during battle by the enemy to detonate himself with a grenade so that he does not fall captive into the hands of the enemy?
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh:
It is not permissible. He must not kill himself. He might not fall captive, and even if he does, Muslims may work to secure his release, and good may result from…
Criticising someone's mistakes and cautioning others against them is one thing, but taking them out of Salafiyyah is another!
Sheikh Yahya hafidahullah mentioned:
" 'Abdur-Razzāq ibn Abdil-Muhsin Al-Abbād descends upon the people of Turāth, and this I am not pleased with from before, and I have debated with him, he invited me to his house, and he knows this speech.
When I went to 'Umrah to visit the Masjid, I…
Hold Fast to The Middle Path
Sheikh Daghsh ibn Shabeeb Al-’Ajmi ḥafidhahullāh states:
"They (Ahlus-Sunnah) are moderate among the factions of the Ummah; for in every matter that Allāh, Mighty and Exalted, commands His servants, Shayṭān stirs two inclinations: either toward excess or toward negligence. And Shayṭān does not care in which of the two valleys a person perishes. Thus, some people seize a matter and…
Defend Yourself Against False Accusations
Sheikh ’Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh said:
A person must defend himself if he is accused of something he is not guilty of. He should not say, “Let those who accuse me be; Allāh, the Almighty, will hold them accountable.” No! And in the ḥadīth: “May Allāh have mercy on the person who repels backbiting from himself(1).”

(1) The Sheikh clarified that this ḥadīth is weak in…
One of the greatest benefits I gained from our trip to Belgium—which I had forgotten to include in my earlier collection—was the following:
During the trip, some of our brothers were asked to lead Salah. This sparked some discussion among us. I personally held the view that travellers must shorten four-unit prayers to two units, whether praying alone or leading others (based on the evidences mentioned above). For…
BENEFIT 507: The Principles of Salafiyyah Offer the Greatest Purification for the Hearts
Sheikh Ramzān Al-Hājiri ḥafidhahullāh said:
What is the sound (upright) heart, O ‘Abdullāh?
The sound heart is the one that is firmly established upon Tawhīd and far removed from shirk.
The sound heart is the one that adheres to the Sunnah and is far removed from bid’ah.
The sound heart is the one that is steadfast in acts of obedience and far removed from sins and reprehensible deeds.
The sound heart is the…
BENEFIT 506: Why do Salafis hold weekly reminders in masjids?
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee hafidahullah said:
Gathering people in masjids and conveying to them the words of Allāh and the words of His Messenger is the practice of the prophets. In the long narration of Al-Ḥārith Al-Ashʿarī, reported by Aḥmad, At-Tirmidhī, and others, concerning the story of Yaḥyā ibn Zakarīyā, it is mentioned that Allāh commanded him with five directives: that he act upon them and that he command…

Together We Are Stronger
UNITY upon the truth is an OBLIGATION:
{وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا}
“Hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided.” [Āl ʿImrān: 103]
DISUNITY, on the other hand, is FORBIDDEN—it leads to WEAKNESS and FAILURE:
{وَأَطِيعُوا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ}
“Obey Allāh and His…
