- Understand qadr (decree), do not be jealous of others because Allāh has not willed for you something
- Make duʿā (supplication), ask Allāh for goodness instead of hating others for what you desire
- Do not be like those who are haughty, looking down their noses at the aʿjam (non-Arab), simply because he doesn’t speak Arabic
- Allāh does not love the arrogant boastful character
- The Prophet (ṣallāllahu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was humble, gracious and accomodating
- Look to the life of Shaykh Ibn al-ʿUthaymīn, his character and graciousness, fleeing from praise, loving and humble
- Comparatively, we now have YouTube “Shaykhs” who are quick to issue rulings like an opinioative columnist
- The social media era has opened up the digital pulpit to overnight “Shaykhs” and phantom platforms, so take heed
- Stick to those who are known (to the scholars) not those seeking subscribers, we are not in need of “follow back” wannabe students
- Watch out for phantom platforms on twitter that create general topics (Arabic, Events, Rulings, Scholars) to grab the attention of the Muslims – KNOW who you’re “following”
- Where is the humility in the one who seeks validation? Seeking his status? Let him humble himself and work righteous actions
- The noble scholar, Muḥāmmad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Bannā used to say: Shaykh Rabīʿ used to be my student, now I go to him. This is the humility of the scholars
- For those who attack the Salafi centre in their local, where are your attacks for Ahl al-Bidʿah? Your attacks will only fall, Allāh will not support ẓulm, attacking Ahl al-Sunnah
