The face is one the most essential things to be covered

Shaykh Muhammad al-Saalih Al-‘Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:

“The hijāb prescribed in Sharī’ah means that a woman should cover everything that it is haraam for her to show, i.e., she should cover that which it is obligatory for her to cover, first and foremost of which is the face, because it is the focus of temptation and desire.

A woman is obliged to cover her face in front of anyone who is not her mahram (blood relative to whom marriage is forbidden). From this we learn that the face is the most essential thing to be covered. There is evidence from the Book of Allāh and the Sunnah of His Prophet ﷺ and the views of the Sahaabah and the imams and scholars of Islam, which indicates that women are obliged to cover all of their bodies in front of those who are not their mahrams.”

[Fatāwa Al-Mar’ah Al-Muslimah, 1/ 391, 392)]

Do Not Make Yourself Incapable

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin [رحمه الله] said:

“The Messenger's ‎ﷺ saying, 'Do not make yourself incapable' means: Do not become lazy and go back on an action once you have started it; rather, persist.

This is because if you left it and then afterwards started another action, and then afterwards you left [that] and then started, and then left, none of your actions would [ever] get completed.”

[Sharh Riyad Al-Salihin, (2/82) | Translated By Mikail Ibn Mahboob Ariff]

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymin رحمه الله said:

"When someone starts something with Bismillāh, Allah grants barakah in that thing"

Shaykh al-'Uthaymin رحمه الله said:

Reaching Ramadan is a great blessing upon the one who reaches it and fulfills its rights by returning to His Lord from disobeying Him to obeying Him, being heedless and neglectful of Him to remembering Him, and being distant from Him to turning to Him with repentance.

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin ‎رحمه الله said:

“Be firm, and do not change (your stance) because of the large number of attacks on you nor due to (their) being offended by your words. As long as you are upon the truth then be firm, for truth is never budged (by falsehood). Thereafter, defend (the truth) if you are in a weak position. There is nothing lesser than defending (the truth). But if you are in a strong position, then upon you is to attack (the falsehood) for the days take turns (sometimes in your favor and sometimes otherwise).”

💎 The Different Levels of People When Faced With Calamities

Shaykh al-Uthaymin رحمه الله said:

Know that when it comes to calamities the people are of different levels:

[1] The grateful

[2] The pleased

[3] The patient

[4] The displeased and anguished

As for the displeased and anguished, then he has committed what is impermissible. He is displeased with the decree of the Lord of all that exists, the One in whose Hands is the heavens and the earth, His is the dominion and He does what He wills.

As for the patient, then he has done what was obligatory. The patient is the one who bears the calamity. Meaning, he sees it as something bitter, as a hardship, and as something difficult. He dislikes that it has occurred. However, he bears it and withholds his soul from that which is impermissible. And this is obligatory.

As for the pleased, he is the one who is not worried about this calamity and he knows that it is from Allah, so he is completely pleased with it and there is no sadness nor regret in his heart because he is completely pleased. His state is higher than the patient.

Therefore being pleased is something that is recommended and not obligatory.

As for the grateful, then he is the one who thanks Allah for the calamity. However, how can he thank Allah for this calamity while it is a calamity?

The answer is from two aspects:

[1] He looks at the one who has been afflicted with that which is greater. So he thanks Allah that He didn’t afflict him with what he was afflicted with. And for this is the Hadith:

Don’t look at those that are above you (regarding the worldly life) but look at those that are below you, so that you don’t belittle the favors of Allah upon you.

[2] That the individual knows that what has occurred with this calamity is an expiation of evil deeds and an elevation of ranks, if he is patient. And that which is in the Hereafter is better for him than the worldly life, so he thanks Allah.

Also the most severe of those regarding calamities are the prophets, then the righteous, then those that are like them. So he hopes that by way of this he is from the righteous. So he thanks Allah for this favor.

Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymin -may Allah have mercy on him- said:

“Know that charity in times of need and in the winter is of great importance.

For indeed, the more beneficial charity is to the people

and the more sincere it is to the Lord, the better and greater the reward.

So, check on your poor brothers and be kind to them with what Allah has bestowed upon you”.

Shaykh ibn Uthaymin رحمه الله:

It is not permissible for the husband to treat his wife badly and then demand that she treats him well.

For indeed this is from the injustice mentioned in the statement of Allah:

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

Woe to Al-Mutaffifin (those who give less in measure and weight (decrease the right of others ) while demanding their own rights in full)

Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymin (رَحِمَهُ الله) said:
