Who is the 'noble?'

Ibn Hibban:
"The noble does not hurt the wise, he does not joke with the stupid and he does not mingle with the sinner."

(ar-Rawdhah, p. 173) 

The believers are not comfortable settlers in this wordly life, but rather strange travelers

"Get yourself out of this limited world of diseases to the wide world of the Hereafter, which has what the eyes have never seen. Nothing is impossible there, and love is not lost. O you who sold yourself for the sake of something that will cause you suffering and pain, and which will also lose its beauty. You sold the most precious item for the cheapest price, as if you neither knew the value of the goods nor the meanness of the price. Wait until you come to the Day of mutual loss and gain (The Day Of Resurrection/Judgment Day)and you will discover the injustice of this contract. 'There is no deity worthy of worship (in truth) except Allaah'  is something that Allaah is buying. Its price is paradise, and the messenger is its agent, and you will be pleased to part with a small part of this worldly life to obtain it. The part you lose is a small part of something, that as a whole, is not worth a mosquito's wing.(in the sight of it's Creator, and those who love and long for Him)"

Beautiful advice from Imaam Abu Hatim rahimahullaah

"It is necessary that the intelligent person accustoms his soul to forgiving people and to leave repaying evil with evil. This is because there is nothing that would silence evil better than good treatment and beneficence and there is nothing that would stir up evil more than repaying evil with evil. Whoever desires copious reward, to receive devout love and good mention, let him experience the bitterness of opposing his base desires and taking to the way we have highlighted: joining relations when they have been severed; giving in the face of prevention; hilm in the face of ignorance; and forgiveness in the face of oppression. These are the greatest morals and manners of the religious."

Friends are a gift you give yourself

 

Ahmad Ibn Harb (rahimahullaah) said:

"There is nothing more beneficial to a Muslim's heart than to mix with the Righteous and watch their actions, while nothing is more harmful to the heart than mixing with the sinners and watching their actions."

The Laws of Breast-feeding

By Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan.

The Most High has said in verification of the unmarriageable women:

"...and your suckling mothers who suckled you and your sisters from suckling..." [An-Nisaa:23]

It is narrated in the two Saheeh collections (Al-Bukhaari and Muslim) that the Prophet, (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

"It becomes forbidden by suckling those relations that are forbidden by kinship."

Furthermore, his saying:

"It becomes forbidden by suckling those relations that are forbidden by birth."

Narrated by the group (1).

The meaning of breast-feeding, linguistically, is:  "The suckling of milk from the breast or the drinking of it."

It's definition according to the Sharee'ah is:  "The suckling or drinking etc. of the milk induced by pregnancy by a child younger than two years old."

Ibnul-Jawzi on the Dying Person’s Alertness

 

The Shaikh, the Imaam, the Allaamah, the Shaikh of Islaam, Abul-Faraj Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Ali ibn Muhammad ibn al-Jawzi, said:

“From the most interesting things is the alertness of the dying person at the time of his death–for he becomes perceptive to a degree which cannot be described, and worried to an extent that has no limits.

And he yearns for his times of old, and wishes that he be left so that he can make up for what passed him by, and so that he can be truthful in his repentance in accordance with the level of certainty he [now] has about death.
