Beware of letting procrastination take control
Take a look at this beautiful statement from the gem of a book “Knowledge Mandates Action” by Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee.
Mashaa Allah, a beautiful naseeha, an advise to myself first and then my fellow Muslimeen.
Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Rizq and ‘Ali bin Ahmad bin ‘Umaar al-Muqri both said:
Ja’far bin Muhammad al-Khaldee informed us” Ibraaheem bin Nasr al-Mansoori narrated to us:
Ibraaheem bin Bashaar narrated to me:
Yusuuf bin Asbaat narrated to me:
Muhammad bin Samurah as-Saa’ih wrote the following letter to me:
"O brother! Beware of letting procrastination take control of you and letting it take a firm root in your heart, for indeed it is the cause for fatigue and wasting (of time).
Due to it, aspirations are cut short and appointed times are not met.
If you allow this to happen you have let it free you from your resolutions, and in effect, take you over.
And reclaim your body from the lethargy that overtook you.
But when it returns back to you, your soul will not benefit from your body.
And hasten, my brother, for indeed you are being hastened.
And rush, for indeed you are being rushed.
And be serious, for indeed, the matter is serious.
Awaken from your sleep, and snap out of your heedlessness.
And remember what you have left behind, what you fell short in, what you neglected, what crimes you committed and what deeds you did, for indeed that is recorded and you will be held accountable for it.
So it is as if the matter has come upon you all of a sudden and so you are (either) happy at what you have put forth for it or remorseful for what you have neglected. ''

Some Important Principles from Shaykh Rabee' Concerning: The Companions, May Allaah be pleased with them
There is nothing that the Muslim ummah should feel towards them except love and respect.
Allaah has praised them highly in His Book.
And He spoke about their high rank, their efforts, and the sacrifices they made with their wealth and their lives in the Cause of Allaah.
Similarly, the Messenger (sallalahu alayhi wasallam) praised them highly, both on an individual and group level.
This is such that the scholars of Islaam devoted special and close attention to their merits and qualities, writing many books concerning their virtues and special characteristics.
Furthermore, the Messenger of Allaah (sallalahu alayhi wasallam) forbade us from insulting them, saying "Do not revile my companions. For I swear by the One in whose hand my soul is, if one of you were to give in charity the likes of mount Uhud in gold, it would not equal a mudd of one of them nor even half of it." [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim from the narration of Abu Sa'eed -May Allaah be pleased with him- ]
Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah are well aware of their position and status, and so they guard it with the strictist form of guarding.
And they forbid others from speaking vainly about what occurred between 'Alee and Mu'aawiyah (may Allaah be pleased with them both) and those who supported them from the rest of the Companions.
Rather, they assert for them the reward that is given to the mujtahids.
And they ruled that all those who spoke about them - or even about one of them - were upon deviance, misguidance and heresy.
