Quotes to remember

10. `Umar (ra) said, “Do not learn knowledge for three things and do not leave it for three things. Do not learn it to dispute over it, to show off with it, or to boast about it. Do not leave seeking it out of shyness, dislike for it, or contending with ignorance in its stead.”

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.

What Is As-Salat Al-Wusta (The Middle Prayer)?

Question:

What Is As-Salat Al-Wusta?
Answer:

As-Salat Al-Wusta is the 'Asr Prayer. In an authentic Hadith, the Prophet sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said during the battle of Khandaq,
"They have kept us busy from As-Salat Al-Wusta." (Al-Bukhari no.4111 and Muslim no.627)

Without a doubt, that is the 'Asr prayer. "Wusta" literally means the middle number, but here it means the best.
