Best of you

12. "The best of your garments are those which are white; shroud your dead in them and clothe your living with them. The best of that which you apply to your eyelids is antimony causing the eyelashes to grow and sharpening the eyesight." [Ibn Hibbân, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

21. Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘The strong person is not he who has physical strength but the person is strong if he can control his anger.” (al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Divorce Simply by Intention Does Not Count

Question:

I had an argument with my wife and after the argument, I said to myself, with out speaking the words: 'Why do I not say to her: 'You are divorced.'? I will say to her: 'You are divorced.' Is anything incumbent upon me because of this, bearing in mind that I did not pronounce anything? Deliver a verdict for me, and may Allaah reward you with goodness.
Answer:

If the situation is as you have described it in the question, then the aforementioned divorce is not counted, because divorce with only an intention does not count. Divorce only counts by speech or by writing, according to the words of the Prophet Sallallaahu alaihi wasalam:
Indeed Allaah disregards for my community what occurs within themselves, as long as they do not act upon it nor utter it.

Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from the Hadith of Abu Hurairah, may Allaah be pleased with him.
