Willing Submission to Allah
Souls do not submit willingly, except through iman in Allaah,His Angels, His Kutub, His Rusul and the Aakhira.

Remembrance of Allah In The Morning and The Evening
Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا
And He it is Who has put the night and the day in succession, for such who desires to remember or desires to show his gratitude. [25:62]
The night and the day differ- this one is white and that one is black. So one takes admonition and contemplates on the difference between them and thanks Allaah for them. [Ref 1] Whoever has missed the remembrance of Allaah in the morning, then indeed the evening has arrived so that he can do so. [Ref 2]

The Preservation of The Sunnah
Nad’dhaam, Abu Hudhayl and other enemies of the sunnah have passed away and the sunnah has remained white and pure. Contemporary enemies of the sunnah will die and the sunnah will remain. Allah has guaranteed its preservation.

Tricks Of The One Who Attempts to Misguide People – Shaykh Rabee’
Sheikh Rabee says: There is one who comes to two disputing parties and misguides them and does not give greater weight to the truth. He has a new doctrine which he considers to be balanced, but it is baatil and sophistry.
[دحر إفتراءات p191]
What Is Humility?
Fudayl ibn Iyaad said: Humility is that you humble yourself to the truth and accept it from the one who says it. Humility is that you accept truth, even if heard from a child or the most jaahil person.

The Superior Bliss
Indeed, the superior bliss which is noblest and loftiest in the afterlife- without exception – is to see Allaah’s face.
Uddatus- Saabireen pg43 Ibnul Qayyim
Suhayb ar-Roomi [radiyallaahu-anhu] said that the Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: “When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, Allaah [ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ] will say: ‘Do you want anything more?’ They will say: Have You not made our faces bright? Have You not admitted us to Paradise and saved us from Hell?’ Then the veil will be removed and they will not be given anything more beloved to them than looking at their Lord [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ]. [Sahih Muslim]
