Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

27. “Nobody swallows a more bitter pill than that of anger—seeking the satisfaction of Allah.” (Ibn Majah)

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".

Throwing Away Paper that has Allaah's Name Written on it

Question:

After having read a newspaper in which Allaah's name is written, we usually throw it away in the wastebasket; is this permissible? Also, is it permissible to pray wearing shorts that come up above the knees?
Answer:

It is not allowed to throw away anything upon which is written verses from the Qur'aan, Allah's Name, or Hadiths of the Messenger of Allaah Salallaahu alayhi wasallam. it is furthermore not allowed to place any such item in a place where they are debased. Allaah's speech is blessed and we must venerate it. Thus a person who is in a state of impurity is not allowed to read the Qur'aan. And the Mushaf is not to be touched unless we are in a state of purity and have performed ablution; at least this is the opinion of most of the scholars. If we don't need such paper, we must either completely burn it or shred it using a machine.
As for a man praying while wearing short pants that do not cover the area between the naval and the knees, that is not allowed unless he is wearing a long garment that covers it.
