[Inspirational] To whom hope has deceived … Death comes suddenly… Shaykh Maher Al-Qahtani


To whom hope has deceived ..
Wake up from negligence as Death comes suddenly and the grave is the container of actions
O mankind! Fear Allah your Lord and beware of the negligence of a serious, frightening matter that all are expecting and it is coming soon rather than in a long time.
Neither the rich or the poor, the old or the young, the king or the minister will escape it no matter how cautious they are. That which you run away from indeed it will meet you, and verily you are running to it, and it is ahead of you, not behind you. And if there was anyone able to save himself from it, it would have been the messenger of Allah salla Allahu ‘aleyhi wa salam the best of mankind, and the most beloved to Allah. Then would have saved themselves Abu Bakr and Umar and whomever preceded or followed from mankind.
So when it comes down on you nothing can push it away, no wealth, no sultan, no doctor either if he is very wise and proficient. You will seperate from your loved ones and friends. And the man or woman will be wrapped in a coffin, then carried by men on their neck then layed on your comfortable pellowed bed: the dirt.

Refusing To Marry a Man Who Shaves – Answered by Shaykh Saalih Fawzan

Question:
This questioner, she says: What is the ruling on my refusal to marry a man who shaves his beard?
Shaykh Fawzan:
Yes, Allah will bring someone else, Allah will bring someone else. The one who takes lightly the matter of shaving the beard will take other matters lightly. And then children will come and they will be reared upon this.

Calling out for one’s mother or father when Frightened – Shaykh Muhammad ibn Haadee

Question:
This person says: What is the ruling on saying: “Mommy” or “Daddy” when frightened?
Answer:
If he is scared; such as a toddler or child or the likes, then this is from Istighaathah (seeking aid) with one who is alive, near, and able to help; there is no harm in this.
As for in times of calamity, calling out to them; then this is not permissible if they are absent, or dead. This is Shirk.
