Best of you

22. "The best of you is he from whom good is anticipated and safety from his evil is assured; the worst of you is he from whom nothing good is expected and one is not safe from his evil." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

23. ‘Ali ibn Zaid mentioned, “A man of the Quraysh spoke harshly to the Caliph `Umar Ibn ‘Abdul ‘Aziz who remained silent for a long time and then said, “You wish that the devil rouses in me the pride of the Caliphate and I treat you so rudely that you can take revenge tomorrow (in the Afterlife) on me.”

Salafs sayings

Sins are like chains and locks preventing their perpetrator from roaming the vast garden of Tawhid and reaping the fruits of righteous actions.

Shaking Hands with the Unbelievers

Question:

May Allaah reward you, if the unbelievers extend their hands to shake hands, should one refuse [to shake hands]?
Answer:

If they salaam (greet) you and extend their hands to you, then shake their hands there is no problem with it. As for you [Muslim] iniating the salaam (greeting) and the shaking of the hands then this is not allowed.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan
