While personal preferences are not inherently sinful, they should not be pursued to the point where one becomes fixated on them or excludes potential spouses based on these minor characteristics. It is crucial to maintain a balanced approach and remember that the ultimate goal is to find a spouse who will be a good companion in both this life and the Hereafter, with piety and good character being the most important…
Therefore, Muwahhids are not all at the same level. Faith increases and decreases, and people vary in the strength of their faith. Some possess strong faith, others stronger, while some have weak fait
This indicates that believers are not equal, even in Allāh’s love for them. A believer with strong faith is more beloved to Allāh than a believer with weak faith.

Sheikh Yahya hafidahullah
The successful one is the one who Allāh has granted success, and your Lord does not wrong anyone. Whoever dies upon Tawheed, Allāh has decreed upon Himself that He will not punish those who uphold Tawheed; those who die without associating partners with Him. Those who perfect Tawheed are among the seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment. Those who perfect…

True Sisterhood
Sheikh Ibn Baz, may Allāh have mercy on him, said [edited (1)]:
"Your sister is the one who advises you, reminds you, and guides you. She is not your sister who is heedless of you, turns away from you, and abandons you. Rather, your true sister is the one who sincerely advises you, admonishes you, and reminds you of Allāh. She calls you to Allāh, clarifies the path of salvation so you may follow…
In Chimwiini/Chimbalazi [a language spoken by the Bravanese people, who are the predominant inhabitants of Barawa/Brava, Somalia], they have a saying:
Maayi shtawanika hai zoreki (Transliteration)
Meaning: Once water is spilt, it cannot be gathered back up again.
The phrase is expressed in situations where actions or words cannot be taken back, highlighting the finality of certain decisions or events.
It carries a similar meaning to ⤵️

Ronaldo vs. Messi
Our esteemed Sheikh, may Allāh bless you, [the questioner] asks whether loving a disbeliever for their good character, skill in playing, or the excellence of their inventions falls under the prohibited allegiance to disbelievers?
Sheikh Salih Al-Luhaidan rahimahullah:
Without a doubt! As long as a disbeliever is an enemy of Allāh, how can one admire their traits?! Rather, one should wish they…
Three Essential Traits for a Successful Student of Knowledge
Sheikh Yahya hafidahullah:
I recall two important principles in the pursuit of knowledge: humility and contentment, along with a third, sincerity, which is the foundation. If a person seeks knowledge or invites to Allāh sincerely, do you think Allāh will abandon them? By Allāh, their Lord is far too protective to leave them, especially when He knows their sincerity.
As for the one who humbles themselves in their…
1. Be sincere, as traversing the path of knowledge is an act of worship in itself.
2. Adhere to the Sunnah and stay close to those who follow it.
3. Avoid conflicts and distance yourself from negative influences.
4. Work hard.
5. Place your trust in Allāh, constantly supplicate to Him, and seek His help in all matters.
6. Manage your time wisely, ensuring that no second is wasted.
7. Set realistic…
Question: I am a 15 year old student of knowledge and I seek knowledge through my mobile phone. My father does not allow me to attend any centres of Ahlus-Sunnah, including the centre of our esteemed Sheikh Yahya, may Allah preserve him. I would like your advice for my father.
Sheikh Yahya hafidhahullah responds (Paraphrased):
I sincerely advise him, if he seeks goodness for himself and his son, to allow his son…
Do I have to cover my face?
Excerpt from Sheikh Yahya's Advice to the people of Sham (Paraphrased)
▪️Excluding the face from the proper Islamic hijab/covering is an incorrect understanding.
▪️It was narrated by ’Āishah and Asmā' that they said, "When we came near men, we would lower our veils, and when we passed them, we would uncover our faces." This was while they were in a state of iḥrām (when women are not…
Excerpt from Sheikh Yahya's Advice to the People of Syria
"You should have your own masjids—one, two, or three. By Allāh, even if the masjid is made of straw or mud, it would suffice. There is no need for large, massive, or luxurious buildings; rather, the masjid should be proportional [to the community's capability]. In Indonesia, as we have been informed, some masjids are made of straw, yet they serve as centres for Salafi Da'wah. Similarly, some are built from mud and…
"Human effort does not guarantee sustenance,
Nor does idleness deprive one of it.
Allāh has distributed sustenance among His creation,
And none of His creation has He abandoned.
Yet people are consumed by greed, for you will rarely see
A seeker of sustenance content with anything less than their desires.
Greed in pursuit of sustenance, despite it being preordained,
Is a form of transgression, and…
Question: My father is a Christian and lives in a different country to me. We communicate through social media platforms. For the past four years, I have been inviting him to Islam, but he constantly involves me in fruitless arguments. Should I continue engaging in these debates, or should I avoid discussing religious matters with him and limit our conversation to asking about his well-being?
Sheikh ’Adnān…
Abu Rayhana AbdulHakeem Al-Amreeki ḥafidhahullāh mentioned the following benefit during a recent lecture on المروءة:
"There is a benefit that we want to recognise, linguistically. This is a little benefit in Arabic concerning this word, المرء. Muru'ah comes from the word المرء. المرء is a man. المرأة is a woman. This word comes in the Quran and the Sunnah. We know, and this is a side benefit, that in Arabic there's…
