by Sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Monajjid

It is the nature of this life that people will suffer from worries and stress, because this world is the place of disease, hardship and suffering. Hence among the things that distinguish Paradise from this world is the fact that there is no worry or stress there: "No sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave."

by Sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Monajjid
|
|
There are many things that have been prohibited in the Qur'aan and Sunnah, and it is very important for the Muslim to know about them so that he can keep away from them and thus avoid earning the wrath and anger of Allaah or bringing about his own doom in this world and the next.

Allaah has commanded all the believers to repent, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): ". And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful."
