Shaykh Abdul-Kareem al-Khudayr [may Allāh preserve him] said:  

"Among the most profound and effective means of safeguarding oneself is through the constant remembrance of Allāh (dhikr). Numerous texts from the Qur’ān and Sunnah attest to its virtue and importance. Therefore, it is incumbent upon a believer to remain steadfast in engaging with the prescribed supplications and remembrances, beginning from the moment they awaken until the time they retire to sleep."

Shaykh ‘Aziz bin Farhān al-’Anzi, [may Allāh preserve him], said:

In Arabic, the concept of an orphan varies slightly depending on context:

1. Al-Yateem (اليتيم): Refers to a child who has lost their father. This term is typically used for human beings.

2. Al-‘Iji (العجي): Refers to a child who has lost their mother.

3. Al-Lateem (اللطيم): Refers to a child who has lost both parents.

For animals, however, al-Yateem specifically describes a young animal that has lost its mother.

Shaykh Daghash al-‘Ajami, [may Allāh preserve him], said:

“Your worth is defined by where you choose to place yourself.

If you sit among the trivial and adopt their ways, people will see you as one of them.  But if you align yourself with the wise, people will see you as part of their circle.

Often, the same item is valued cheaply in one setting and highly in another. The distinction lies not in the item itself but in where it is presented.  

Therefore, never diminish your own value.”

Shaykh Rabee bin Hādi al-Madkhali, [may Allāh preserve him], said:

“Ēsa (Jesus) is a Messenger of Allāh and a human being, born to Maryam (Mary). He is the Word¹ of Allāh, brought into existence by His command, ’Be,’ and he was. We acknowledge him as a Noble Messenger and one of the Messengers of Firm Resolve,² who faithfully conveyed his message and fulfilled his trust. Going beyond this acknowledgment into excess leads us into exaggeration, which can result in disbelief in Allāh, the Most High.“
