Quotes to remember

1. “And when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with ‘Salamaa’ (peaceful words of gentleness).”(Qur’an, 25:63)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Collecting Pictures as a Memento

Question:

Is it permissible to collect pictures for persevering memories or not?
Answer:

It is not allowed for any Muslim, male or female, to collect photos, and by photos I mean of living beings with souls, whether it is a man or animal. Rather it is obligatory to discard those pictures, since it is confirmed that the Prophet said to Ali, may Allaah be pleased with him, Dont leave a picture without obliterating it, and a raised grave without levelling it. [1] It is also confirmed that when he (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) entered the Kabah on the Victory day, he saw pictures on the wall of the Kabah, so he ordered for water and a garment to be brought, he then wiped off those pictures. As for drawing pictures of inanimate objects: mountains, trees, etc., there is no harm it that.
[1] Muslim no. 969
