One does not know when his death will be. What have you prepared for it?

The Deen is Spread Through Gentleness, Wisdom & Understanding Not Harshness, Ignorance and Personal Desires. ‘Allāmah ibn Bāz raḥimahullāh said: “Indeed, wisdom, a good manner of approach and gentleness are among the most important matters at all times, and particularly so in these times, due to the prevalence of ignorance and the dominance of desires over most people. Through harshness, people will be repelled by you and distance themselves from you, and none will accept the truth except those whom Allah has shown mercy.” Majmūʿ al Fatāwā, 7/266

Imām Ibn Rajab on Surah Fātihah This sūrah encompasses all the objectives of the revealed Books:
 Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, sent the Messengers and revealed the Books only to call creation to know Him, single Him out in worship, worship Him, love Him, draw close to Him and turn to Him in repentance. This is the purpose of the Messengership, its very essence and the central axis around which it revolves. Everything beyond this consists of things that complete, perfect and supplement it. Everyone is therefore in need of knowing these matters through knowledge and implementing them through action. There can be no happiness, success or salvation for the servant without these two objectives.
 Sūrah al Fātiḥah encompasses these objectives because it introduces the Lord, Glorified is He, through three Names to which all the other Names ultimately return: Allah, al Rabb and al Raḥmān. The sūrah is built upon Allah’s (uluhiyyah) sole right of worship, His Lordship and His Mercy. The statement, “You alone we worship” is founded upon uluhiyyah; “and You alone we ask for help” is founded upon lordship; and the request for guidance to His Straight Path is founded upon mercy. Praise encompasses all three, for He, Exalted is He, is praised for His divinity, lordship and mercy.
 Extolling and glorifying Allah are two aspects of the perfection of His praise. The sūrah also encompasses the Oneness of Allah in His uluhiyyah and lordship through His statement:
 “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.”
 Since everyone is in need of seeking guidance to the Straight Path, both in knowledge and understanding and then through action and adherence, the servant must ask for this guidance and seek it from the One in Whose Hand it lies.
 This supplication is the greatest thing of which the servant stands in need and to which he is compelled at every blink of an eye. This is because people fall into three categories:
 1. Those who knew the truth but turned away from it: those who incurred anger.
 2. Those who were ignorant of the truth: those who went astray.
 3. Those who knew the truth and acted upon it: those upon whom Allah bestowed His favour.
 Since the servant possesses no independent ability to bring benefit to himself or ward off harm, he needs to ask the One who possesses the power and ability to grant it to guide him to the path of those upon whom favour has been bestowed, and to save him from the path of those who incurred anger and those who went astray.
 The sūrah also encompasses the affirmation of Prophethood and the Resurrection. As for the Resurrection, this is established through the mention of the Day of Recompense, the day on which people are recompensed for their deeds. As for Prophethood, it is established through the division of creation into three categories, for people were divided into these categories according to their relationship with the Prophethood, their knowledge of it and their following of it. Tafseer of Ibn Rajab

Don’t Describe the One you Love to Others Ibn al Qayyim mentions that some people would refrain from describing their beloved ones or mentioning their attractive qualities, fearing that by doing so, they might cause someone else to fall in love with them. ʿAlī ibn ʿĪsā al Rāfiqī said: “I shall never describe my beloved, exposing them to the desires of other men. Why should I awaken another person's heart with longing, while a curtain still stands between me and union with my beloved?” Ibn al Qayyim goes on to then warn the reader that some people foolishly describe their wives and their beauty to others, and that this can become a cause of separation and another person's attachment to them. Ibn al Qayyim, Rawḍat al Muḥibbīn, chapter 22, p. 313 in the cited Dār al Kutub al ʿIlmiyyah edition.
