Ibn al-Jawzī said:
“One of the greatest mistakes is placing trust in people and being overly open with friends.
For the fiercest of enemies, and the one who causes the most harm, is a friend who has turned against you, for he has become privy to your innermost secrets.”

Ibn al-Jawzī said:
“Among the signs of complete intellect is high ambition, whereas the one who is content with what is inferior is himself inferior.
I have never seen, among the faults of people, a fault greater than the shortcomings of those capable of attaining perfection.”

I advise my brothers not to ask this person and the likes of him, like Faris any questions, as they're not qualified to answer them. I asked him politely who from the scholars gave him permission to issue verdicts and this was his response:

فرصة ثمينة، ولا يلقاها إلا ذو حظ عظيم!
لعبة GTA أو قراند على الأبواب، وكلنا نعلم ما تحتويه هذه اللعبة من محرمات
فاسمع هذا الحديث يا عبد الله، وتأمّل عظيم فضله، قال الرسول ﷺ: العبادة في الهرج كهجرة إليَّ
أي: العبادة في زمن الفتن والغفلة، حين ينشغل الناس وتكثر الملهيات، ويقلّ المقبلون على الطاعة
فما ظنّك بفتنة مثل لعبة قراند، التي ينتظرها كثير من الناس منذ سنين؟! تخيّل مقدار الغفلة والانشغال بها، وكيف ستتعلق بها نفوس كثيرين، وتتسابق إلى تجربتها واقتنائها
ولكن تأمّل حالك إن خالفتهم، وأعرضت عنها ابتغاء وجه الله، وتركتها مع قدرتك على اقتنائها ومتابعتها، طاعةً لله وابتغاءً لمرضاته!
وكلما اشتدّ عليك الأمر، وصعب عليك الترك، فتذكّر عِظَم الأجر والثواب، واستحضر أن النبي ﷺ شبّه أجر العبادة في زمن الهرج بالهجرة إليه!
فيا لها من فرصة عظيمة، وزد عليها كرم ربنا سبحانه يضاعف لمن يشاء!
سبحانك ما أكرمك!

Ibn ʿAqīl al-Ḥanbalī said:
If they say, ‘Aḥmad did not anthropomorphize, yet you [Ḥanbalīs] do,’
we reply: al-Shāfiʿī was not an Ashʿarī, whereas you are Ashʿarīs. So if this accusation against you is a fabrication, then we too have been falsely accused.

In the same work, Ibn al-Jawzī states:
"It is disliked for unrelated men to hear women's voices except to the extent required by necessity or need, because temptation may arise from that. A woman should therefore take precautions against this."
My refutation to the claim women should not be taught to read or write
OBLIGATION OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE FOR WOMEN
Ibn Al-Jawzi (rahimahullaah) said:
” المرأة شخص مكلف كالرجل ، فيجب عليها طلب علم الواجبات عليها ؛ لتكون من أدائها على يقين ، فإن كان لها أب أو أخ أو زوج أو محرم يعلمها الفرائض ويعرِّفها كيف تؤدي الواجبات : كفاها ذلك ، وإن لم يكن : سألت وتعلمت ، فإن قدرت على امرأة تعلِّم ذلك : تعرفت منها ، وإلا تعلمت من الأشياخ وذوي الأسنان ، من غير خلوة بهم ، وتقتصر على قدر اللازم ، ومتى حدثت حادثة في دينها : سألت عنها ولم تستح ؛ فإن الله لا يستحي من الحق “.
”A woman is an accountable individual just as a man is. She is obliged to seek knowledge of her duties so that she may perform them properly. If she has a father, brother, husband or other Mahram who can teach her about her obligatory duties and how to perform them, that should be sufficient for her. If she can find a woman who knows that, she should learn from her; if not, she may learn from shaykhs and elderly men without being alone with them, and stay only as long as she needs to. If a question about her religion occurs to her, she should ask it and not be shy, for Allaah is not too shy to tell the truth.”

Very good action to do so and I advise people to watch the actual podcast series itself. The first part is on the rahamaniyyah platform.
Official Statement from Al-Madrasatu Ar-Rahmaniyyah (AMAR) Regarding the Recent Podcast Trailer.
As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh,
Yesterday, a short trailer was published on the AMAR YouTube channel for an upcoming podcast on takfīrism, the Khawārij, and the origins of that group. The trailer, produced by our editing team, grouped together a number of names and figures, including Sayyid Quṭb, along with contemporary charitable organisations. It also used labels such as "Islamist" and "jihadist." In doing so, it made claims that had not been fact-checked or verified, and it associated people and organisations with one another in ways that were inaccurate and unjust.
When the trailer was released, I was travelling in East Africa for a dawrah ʿilmiyyah. I approved its publication, but I did not watch it properly in full beforehand. That was my mistake, and I take full responsibility for it. I sincerely apologise for the inaccurate information it contained, and to everyone who was offended, hurt, or wrongly associated by it.
I ask that I be held to what I said in the podcast itself. That is where I spoke on this subject from my own research and understanding, and anyone can watch it and judge it for themselves.
I never want to cause harm to any Muslim, or to be a means through which any Muslim is harmed. Nor do I wish to wrong anyone by attributing to them words or positions that are not theirs. This applies even to someone I disagree with, and even to someone I believe has erred.
Going forward, in shāʾ Allāh, all refutations, documentaries and similar content from AMAR will go through a proper editing, review and verification process before publication.
I ask Allah to forgive our shortcomings, and I kindly ask you to overlook this error.
Jazākumullāhu khayran.

Although I don’t really have an issue with this series personally and agree with the content, it is obvious this has influence from the UAE which does nothing but discredit the shaykh among the people.
Hope such obviously timed videos don’t occur again.

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim al-Ḥanbalī on Using the Sounds of Birds to Justify Music:
“Among the astonishing things is their use of listening to the sounds of birds, such as the nightingale, bulbul, blackbird and turtle dove, as evidence for the permissibility of listening to singing, musical instruments, flutes and tambourines with jingles.
Is this not comparable to the analogy of those who said, ‘Trade is just like usury’?”

In a time where AI seems to be pervading through all facets of life, especially knowledge, and more specifically Ulum al-Islam, it is imperative to remember that the Salaf and the A‘immah of both the past and the present have stressed on memorization of the mutun during one's journey in the pursuit of knowledge, and these A'immah have made it clear that memorizing the mutun is of paramount importance, and one must remember that no matter how advanced technology gets, no matter how many translations of Islamic texts AI can churn out, learning and knowing Arabic and memorizing the Arabic text is vital for retention and understanding, and putting in effort for the sake of Allah will only earn you rewards and hikmah, something which can only be bestowed by Allah upon whomsoever He wishes.

Highly suggest everyone benefit from our dear Shaykh Sami. Masha'Allah, he is a very balanced and learned scholar who will teach you to engage with the sacred sciences traditionally, building a good foundation while also teaching critical thinking and analytical skills.

In a religion, you're "forced" / obliged to do a lot of things like praying 5 times a day and fasting for an entire month but only the Hijab is controversial because it immediately gets in way of the commodification of the biggest product: women's bodies, hence the controversy
