Is it obligatory to text back a response to "al-salāmu ʿalaykum"? What if someone does not respond in a chat? How do we interpret this (lack) of response and what are the manners of responding to it.
Our noble Shaykh gives a most beautiful reminder regarding the blessing of good deeds in the first ten days of Ḍhu al-ḥijjah, and its superiority to other days in the year. He emphasises the importance of striving and increasing in good deeds in this period and coupling these actions with ikhlās and mutābaʿah in order for those actions to be accepted by Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿāla). A must-listen lecture with the advent of this blessed month nearly upon us.
