The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ”Having intercourse (with one’s wife) is a charity.” [1]
In this there is: Perfect enjoyment; Kindness towards a beloved wife; seeking reward, gaining reward equivalent to giving Sadaqah, exhilaration of the soul, expelling bad thoughts, lighten the soul, expel her strain [and yours]; lighten her body and balancing her temperament [and yours]. If this happens in a good way, with gentleness and a lot of passion, complete desire and seeking reward, there will not be any enjoyment equal to it. [2]

Whoever heard the truth and rejects it after having knowledge of it, then he is from those who are haughty towards Allaah. And whoever supports error, then he is from the party of shaytaan. [Al-Ibaanah: 2/54]

Al-Allaamah Muqbil bin Haadi (rahimahullaah) said:
In the majority of cases the journalists are capricious; so they praise the rulers in order to be given wealth. And it may be that they accept the realities, whilst launching attacks against the people of knowledge (i.e. the scholars). Therefore, a person should be principled and truthful, and he should not care who opposes him. But if he is capricious, then the people will not be at ease with his newspaper because it becomes that of lies and (also) its articles.

Imaam Ibn Baaz on Hijacking planes and kidnapping
“From that which is known to everyone who has the slightest bit of common sense is that hijacking airplanes and kidnapping children and the like are extremely great crimes, the world over. Their evil effects are far and wide, as is the great harm and inconvenience caused to the innocent; the total effect of which none can comprehend except Allaah.
Likewise, from that which is known is that these crimes are not specific to any particular country over and above another country, nor any specific group over and above another group, rather it encompasses the whole world.
There is no doubt about the effect of these crimes; so it is obligatory upon the governments and those responsible from amongst the scholars and other than them to afford these issues great concern, and to exert themselves as much as possible in ending this evil.”
”Verily, the Muttaqoon (pious) will be in the midst of Gardens and springs (in the Paradise), taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinoon (good-doers). They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allaah) and praying, with fear and hope]. And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allaah) for forgiveness, And in their properties there was the right of the beggar, and the Mahroom (the poor who does not ask the others).” [51:15-19]
