The Shaykh, Dr. Muhammad ibn Umar Bāzmūl, may Allāh preserve him and protect him, said:
It is not the intent of the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr) to be plentiful in prayers for indeed, the Messenger (صلى الله علي وسلم) did not increase [praying], in Ramaḍân or in any other [month], more than 11 raka’at!
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
The Noble Scholar Shaykh Ibn Bāz (may Allāh have mercy upon him) commented:
This is a virtue from Allāh (‘azza wa-jall). Mankind is prone to forgetfulness just as the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “I am a human being like you. I forget just as you forget.”
Forgetfulness is from human nature. Therefore if he forgets while he is fasting in Ramadan or fasting as an expiation or fasting for a reason other than these two and he eats or drinks or he has done another one of the things that breaks the fast out of forgetfulness, his fast is sound.

The Noble Scholar Shaykh Ṣālih al-Fawzān (may Allāh preserve him) stated:
Striving against one’s soul: It’s that the person strives against himself in obedience of Allah (‘azza wa-jall). He commands his soul with the obedience of Allāh and mandates it with the obedience of Allāh. He also prohibits it from the disobedience of Allāh and prevents it from that. The person is in a struggle with himself throughout his entire life. Whoever doesn’t have the ability to strive against himself, he doesn’t have the ability to strive against other than himself. It is not possible for the person to strive (for the sake of Allāh against others) except when he has striven against himself firstly by mandating his soul with the obedience of Allāh and withholding it from the disobedience of Allāh. The soul commands with that which is evil, except that which your Lord has had mercy upon (from the souls). Therefore the person is to strive against it until it complies with the obedience of Allāh. Then in that case the person can turn to the remaining categories of striving (for the sake of Allāh). Continue reading

أليس من آداب طالب العلم عدم الخوض في المسائل الكبار التي تتعلق بالأمة
“من فتاوى معالي الشيخ صالح الفوزان حفظه الله تعالى “
السؤال: أليس من آداب طالب العلم عدم الخوض فيما لا يعنيه خصوصا الدخول في المسائل الكبار التي تتعلق بالأمة؟
الجواب: من آداب طالب العلم كما ذكرنا أنه ما يبدأ مع فروع العلم ومع الخلاف بل يبدأ مع الأصول ومع الأبواب شيئا فشيئا هذا من آداب طالب العلم، وإذا اطلعت على الخلاف مثل أنت في مرحلة مثلكم أنتم تدرسون الآن المسائل الخلافية من باب تكميل المعلومات ومن باب معرفة الراجح من المرجوح وما عليه دليل وما ليس عليه دليل فهذا شيء ينفع بعد ما تبلغ هذه المرحلة مرحلة التخصص تطلع على الخلاف، ولكن ما تأخذ كل قول إنما تعرضه على الدليل فما وافق الدليل أخذت به وما خالف الدليل فإنك تتركه ولكن لا تتنقص العلماء إذا أخطئوا لا تتنقصهم اعرف لهم قدرهم وادعوا الله لهم، ولكن لا تأخذ بقوله إذا أخطأ عن غير قصد من أخطأ من غير قصد وهو من أهل الاجتهاد فله أجر على اجتهاده ويغفر له خطأه، خطأه مغفور فلا يحملك إذا رأيت رأي مرجوحا أو رأي مخالفا للدليل أن تتنقص صاحبه أو تتكلم فيه، نعم.

The Noble Shaykh Ibn Bāz (may Allāh have mercy upon him) stated:
When the need (you have) is delayed (from being fulfilled), do not blame your Lord. Do not say: Why, why (haven’t you answered my du’ā and fulfilled my need) my Lord. Rather, it is upon you to return back to yourself and take account of yourself, for indeed your Lord is All-Wise and All-Knowing. Therefore, return back to yourself and look. Continue reading
