What is Firaasah (spiritual insight)?
Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:
((نُورٌ يَقْذِفُهُ اللهُ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدِهِ يُفَرِّقُ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَالْبَاطِلِ وَالْحَالِي وَالْعَاطِلِ وَالصَّادِقِ وَالْكَاذِبِ))
“It is a light which Allah places in the heart of His servant, by which he distinguishes between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, and the truthful and the untruthful.”
[Madarij As-Salikin 2/453]

BENEFIT: Causes for Steadfastness and the Repelling of Evils
Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - said:
- One should adopt a regular portion of Dhikr (remembrance) during the day and at the time of sleep.
- One should be patient regarding the obstacles and distractions that confront him. Indeed, it will not be long before Allah strengthens him with a spirit from Himself and writes faith in his heart.
- One should be eager to complete the obligatory five daily…
The success of Daʿwah is not measured by numbers, followers, or subscribers.
It is measured by sincerity and correctness.
A person may gather thousands, even hundreds of thousands, yet be a cause of misguidance if he speaks without knowledge or mixes the truth with innovation.
And a person may reach only one individual, yet that single soul is guided by the permission of Allāh so he attains immense good.
Allāh,…
BENEFIT: Praying Behind Innovators While Avoiding Their Lectures and Lessons
Question:
Some people ask: How can you pray behind those who are Hizbiyyīn (People of innovation), yet you do not listen to their talks and lessons that they deliver?
Sheikh Muhammad Ba Jammal hafidahullah:
If there were anything in their prayer that invalidates it, then prayer behind them would not be valid.
However, since the prayer itself is valid and they cannot introduce into the prayer something that would…
Sheikh Abu Bilal hafidhahullah said:
We always advise ourselves with this, and by Allah we continually remind ourselves of it: The Salafi is a red line. By Allah, even if the closest of people were to speak against them, I swear by Allah that we would not remain silent. The Salafi is a red line, especially those who are beneficial, upon goodness, and whose benefit is ongoing and from whom people continue to…
BENEFIT: When Consensus Is Established, Later Opposition Carries No Weight
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Jaza'iri hafidhahullah:
The principle among scholars is that an established consensus is not cancelled by a disagreement that comes after it. So if the Companions agreed upon something, and then a tābiʿī later disagrees—due to an excuse, perhaps the consensus did not reach him, or it was not clear to him—then his disagreement is not considered a valid proof that overturns that consensus.
So what…
Many Will Get Sidetracked—Stay Focused
Starting is easy, but endurance is rare. Many people are enthusiastic in the beginning—seeking knowledge, attending gatherings—but few remain consistent over time. Life distractions, loss of sincerity, or falling into wrongdoing can pull a person away from what they once pursued. Scholars are few not because opportunities are lacking, but because steadfastness is rare.

BENEFIT: Fear Allah and don’t cause fitnah between Mashayekh
Shaykh Sulaymān Salīm Ar-Ruhaylī (May Allāh protect him) wrote:
"My advice to every student of knowledge in every country: Fear Allāh and remember (the statement of the prophet) "Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent". Beware of sowing discord between the Scholars and do not be a Nammām (tale-bearer). The worst of tale-bearers are those who cause division between Scholars.…
📝📝📝📝📝📝 ⚠️ Don’t Stop Speaking Out Against Tabarruj, Free Mixing, and Public Display of Beautification
Their danger to the Muslim society is real and severe.
🔊 Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Aal ash-Shaykh رحمه الله said:
"Every individual must stop the women under his care from displaying themselves openly (sufur) and from free mixing (ikhtilat), because the trial of women is a serious one."
📍The Prophet ﷺ said:
“I have not left behind me any fitnah more harmful to men than women.”
These issues require:

Love Covers Faults While Hate Exposes Them
Among the benefits extracted from the hadith of Umm Zar' is loving a person can lead you to become blind of that person’s mistakes.
Abu Zar' treated his wife badly by divorcing her, yet that did not stop her from praising him greatly—almost to the point of exaggeration.
Al-Hafidh says: love hides everything. When you love something, it can make you “blind and deaf.”…
صديق يزعجك بالنّصيحة خيرٌ مِن صَديق يضْحكك بالمعصية.
A friend who bothers you with advice is better than a friend who makes you laugh through sin.

BENEFIT: From The Characteristics Of The Salafi Methodology is Refuting Those Who Oppose in The Religion
Shaykh Saalih Aal Ash-Shaykh hafidhahullah explains:
Among the characteristics of the righteous Salaf and we conclude with this is that they were keen to refute doubts and misconceptions in the religion.
They did not hold the view that anyone who ascribes himself to the religion should be left without correction.
Indeed, protecting the religion, the creed, the faith, the truth, and the Book and the Sunnah takes…
A fundraising manager? In a masjid that claims Salafiyyah? The issue of begging/fundraising in the name of Da'wah is an ongoing issue that needs addressing, but this is taking it too far!
قال الفضيل بن عياض رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: "ما من أحد أحب الرئاسة إلَّا حَسَدَ وبَغى وتتبع عيوب الناس وكَرهُ أَن يُذكَرَ أَحَدٌ بِخَيرٍ." [جامع بيان العلم وفضله (569/1)]
Advising Salafis Against Tasweer
Question:
He says: In our country, some Salafis call to Tawhid and warn against Shirk. They are not involved in political groups, but they do engage in tasweer. They publish clips that contain Tawhid and warnings against Shirk from some scholars, and Allah has benefitted many people through these clips. They also have Telegram channels where they spread Tawhid and the Sunnah and…
He said to the king: “You will not be able to kill me unless you do what I command you.” He asked how. He told them: put the arrow in the bow, say “In the name of Allah, the Lord of the boy,” and then
The lesson is: sometimes one person dies, but thousands believe. So their harm does not stop the truth.
So now, whenever they try to turn things against us or spread fear, by the grace of Allah we continue teaching and worshipping Allah. They try to distort us and turn things upside down.
A few days ago, they even claimed I am a Jew—Allah forbid. They spread images without permission...and wrote on them insulting…
Doubt: The students of Dammaj are very harsh and critical of others
Question:
We hear from some young people who love khayr that the students of Dammaj are harsh and that they criticise others. We hope you can clarify this, especially since this issue has prevented some of these young people from cooperating with the callers to Ahlus-Sunnah.
Sheikh Yahya hafidhahullah:
By Allah, my brother, this is injustice.
First: we are not infallible, and the students of Dammaj are not…
